The world is so wild, I want to go to Kang Kang
Chapter 87: Concubine Sister (4)
Wen Renyu held his forehead with his hand. This senior brother still loves to joke as always.
He shook his head and walked down, step by step, gradually moving away and becoming a blurred figure.
"Mother Yue."
"mother concubine"
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince rushed to Zhaoning Palace right after the court session.
What happened in the court today could not be hidden from the Imperial Concubine. They were afraid that their mother would be sad about it, so they came here without stopping.
As the prince grew older, he could no longer live with his mother. The crown prince had the East Palace to live in, and the second prince had the South Palace all to himself.
"Well, why are the eldest and second brother gathered here with me today?" Shi Yue had just dealt with some chores in the palace and was bored, so the two brothers came to entertain her.
There were only two proper masters in the harem, the Empress and her, and the Empress Dowager had also passed away two years ago. With fewer people, there was less dirt, and fewer people to reconcile.
In addition, after the emperor ascended the throne, he broke the old rule that women were not allowed to interfere in state affairs, set up girls' schools and female officials, and opened up channels for women to express their opinions.
Most of the female officials worked in the harem. Therefore, even if the queen was ill for a long time and could not leave Kunning Palace, and pushed all the matters under her jurisdiction to her, she would not be able to do much.
"My son is leaving court today and has nothing to do, so I came with my brother to see you."
The prince was visibly happy, as he hadn't seen his mother for more than a month. As he was getting older, the emperor intended to let him go so that he could get used to being a king in advance. Therefore, he was busy with official duties, let alone coming to the harem to visit his mother and the queen.
"Mother, my son needs to think of a reason to come to my place." The Second Prince looked very similar to Shi Yue, but his face was more masculine and his eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same, but their personalities were very different.
People in the palace said that the Crown Prince was gentle and elegant, a great scholar of Confucianism, kind and compassionate, upright and pure. The Second Prince was sharp-witted and sharp-minded, learned the way of the Legalists, attacked the mind, and could distinguish between good and evil.
Compared with the second prince, the crown prince has more of the bearing of the imperial concubine, who does not fight or compete, and is as gentle as the rain.
"You are such a naughty boy, you are so mischievous. My eldest son speaks sweetly, and mother likes to listen to him."
Shi Yue understood the two's real purpose very well. The children were filial and considerate, so she was happy to play with them.
The prince pursed his lips and smiled, showing a rare childish look.
He started to be taken care of by Concubine Yue when he was four or five years old. When he was younger, he heard from the old people in the palace that Concubine Yue often held him in her arms and loved him like her own son. At that time, his second brother was not yet born.
"Humph, mother's heart is completely biased. Big brother likes this and that, but your youngest son likes this and that, right?"
As he said this, he pretended to be angry, sat alone on a chair farther away from the two of them, crossed his arms and complained.
"No wonder people say that the royal family loves the eldest son, and the common people love the youngest son. I am not a naughty boy, I am a poor creature that my mother does not love."
The prince was also helpless. He didn't know who his younger brother looked like. He spoke in a very confusing way, making others seem tongue-tied.
"Second brother, you are wronging me. Father likes you the most. The day before yesterday, he took you hunting. Last month, he took you on a private visit and secretly visited Chang'an City. And, the month before the month before last..."
He really wrote out every single thing like a notebook; his memory was incredibly good.
"Tell me yourself, what part do I have in this?"
"That's because you have to learn the political affairs, big brother. I don't have such worries, so why not have fun?"
The prince is the heir apparent and will take over everything in the Jin Dynasty in the future. He is neither the heir nor the second son. Unless the prince commits a serious fault or dies young, he will never be able to sit on the throne.
Therefore, he could not learn what the prince learned.
When Shi Yue was reminded of this, he also remembered how busy the prince had been in taking over state affairs in the past six months.
"You can have fun, but don't neglect your martial arts. Doctor Zhang praised you in front of your father earlier, saying that you are improving day by day, especially in archery, and you can hit the target nine times out of ten."
"Mother is really happy to hear this. If you can do well in the future, you can take charge of the military affairs and your brother can take charge of the government. Why can't our Great Jin recover the lost territory and restore the north and south?"
Although she was a girl, she was familiar with the classics and history books, and knew that the former Jin Dynasty was also a place where thousands of officials worked in awe and all nations paid homage to the emperor. Although the current emperor had already recovered the two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang.
However, the three remote borders of Beiting, Xirong and Nanyi gradually lost control during the rebellion of Liu Yi. In the past ten years when the Jin Dynasty was recuperating, the three regions of North, South and South grew and expanded rapidly, eyeing the fertile land of the Central Plains.
There was an increasing desire to send troops to attack, and a war on all sides was imminent.
The Second Prince had heard his mother's words at least a hundred times, if not a thousand times, from childhood to adulthood.
Logically, he should have understood what she meant by what he saw and heard. After she finished speaking, he should have immediately expressed his feelings and followed the prince's lead from then on.
But he has grown up and is no longer a child.
He was a descendant of a noble family, and a child of destiny. In terms of martial arts, he was far superior to the prince; in terms of literature, he was not bad either; in terms of tactics, the prince, who was a Confucian scholar, was even worse than him.
So, why should he be born to be inferior to others?
But these words must not be said to my mother. Her life can't be considered good or bad. The only thing is that she is too soft-hearted and loves others too much.
She was changed from a wife to a concubine, but she was unwilling to embarrass the empress, who was also a woman, and wanted to be a concubine without fighting or competing, and she didn't even want to be a royal concubine. Because the royal concubine was the same as the vice queen, and the empress was still there, the existence of the royal concubine would only be the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Although he was not her own child, she felt sorry for him being left unattended at such a young age, so she took him in. She ignored other people's petty speculations and treated him like her own son.
He loves his mother, but he also has his own selfish motives. He does not learn the way of saints, but only knows how to manipulate people's hearts. The Great Jin is surrounded by jackals, waiting for an opportunity to strike, and kindness alone cannot win the hearts of the people.
Only someone like him is suitable to be the new master of this dynasty.
In the future, if he succeeds, he will also be able to treat his siblings well. After all, although they are not born from the same mother, they eat and sleep together, are enlightened together, and grow up together.
When I was a child, it was very hot in the summer, so my mother would carry them both to the pavilion, set up a small couch, and let them roll around. When they were tired, they would fall asleep. In the drowsiness, I vaguely remember that my father and mother each held one of them, and walked through the long night in peace and tranquility.
Such ordinary happiness was rare in the royal family. But he and the prince were born into good families, and they had a good childhood and youth.
Unfortunately, he had the ambition to show his fangs. Perhaps it was because of the power of his bloodline that he gradually awakened the cruelty and selfishness that had been passed down from generation to generation in the royal family.
If he desires power, he must seek that position. If he covets something that does not belong to him, he can only take it from others.
He couldn't say how to rob or how much to rob. He only knew that there wouldn't be many peaceful days like this.
I hope that in the end, my wish will be fulfilled and the person is still here.
