Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home

After being surprised by the man's bold behavior, Yunzhi thought of the recent rumors in the palace.

It is said that His Majesty has found a half-brother and loves him very much.

In order to make up for the debt he had owed his younger brother over the years, His Majesty wanted to make him a king, and also let him live in the palace, with the Queen personally arranging people to take care of him.

When Yunzhi first heard this rumor, she didn't quite believe it.

Your Majesty has several half-brothers, and she has never seen Your Majesty be particularly good to any of them. If they make a mistake, not punishing them severely is already a special favor.

Directly conferring a title of kingship, letting him live in the palace, and requiring the Queen Mother to take care of him, really doesn't seem like something Your Majesty would do.

However, now seeing that strange man and the Emperor and Empress's most beloved little princess playing in such an untidy manner, she felt that the previous rumors might be true.

Unlike Jiang Qi and Jiang Huai's confusion and Yun Zhi's surprise, the other two children's reactions were more in line with their status and age.

Jiang Heng is a prince, and because of his mother, he has no chance of becoming an emperor.

Such an identity is very embarrassing, but on the other hand, if he had no ambitions, he could actually live a more comfortable life than most people in Daxia.

But the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. His mother tried her best to protect him, but she still couldn't completely stop other people's gossip.

After he understood a little more, he heard a lot of words that seemed to be sympathetic to him but were actually malicious.

During that period, he did feel inferior and angry. As children of the same father, why should Jiang Huai get more fatherly love while he could only watch from afar?

Why should he be a son without desires just because of his mother's background, while Jiang Huai can follow his father to discuss matters?

He thought that apart from his background and age, his abilities were not much worse than the prince's. Why should Jiang Huai have everything he wanted? If he wanted something, he had to think about whether he was qualified first.

The feeling of unwillingness made Jiang Heng like a hedgehog during that period, stabbing everyone he saw.

He couldn't listen to his mother's advice, his sister's consolation, or his teacher's teachings, and he kept venting his dissatisfaction to those who cared about him.

However, he forgot that his mother, sister and teacher were not only comforting him, but also worried about him.

He vents his emotions freely, and people who are close to him will understand and tolerate him, but others will not, not even his biological father.

When he once again saw his father being affectionate towards Jiang Huai and cold towards him, he couldn't help but get angry.

He thought his father would feel guilty and regretful because of his accusations, and he thought his father would show him more love and care from now on.

The reality? Nothing.

His father merely scolded him a few words and told him to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors, not wanting to say a word more to him.

From then on, he understood that the reason why he was not valued by his father was not because his mother was the daughter of his father's former enemy, nor because of his abilities, but because his father never took him to heart.

Now, his father is the emperor and the undisputed ruler of the entire Great Xia Dynasty. If his father values ​​him, nothing will be a problem.

The emperor of the previous dynasty was so incompetent and almost stripped of his power that he even deposed the queen and the crown prince for the sake of his favorite concubine and beloved prince.

With his father's ability, it would not be difficult to depose the queen and the crown prince. It would just be a little troublesome to make him the crown prince.

But the fact is that his father doesn't value him, no matter how hard he tries, it's useless. All his efforts, dedication and flattery, the other party is not willing to even take a look.

After figuring it out, Jiang Heng turned back into the obedient son and brother he used to be.

What would happen if he didn't change back? Unless he was more powerful than his father and could snatch the throne from him, what else could he do but accept his fate?

After that period of reflection, he saw two things clearly.

The first thing is, are those who say they are doing this for his own good and express sympathy and pity for his situation really doing this for his own good? Not necessarily.

Perhaps they regarded him as an object of amusement and wanted to see him behave in an ugly way so as to have some fun.

Perhaps they wanted him to do something according to their ideas so that they could gain some benefits from it.

The second thing was that he realized for the first time that the Queen and the Crown Prince had done their best for him.

After he was imprisoned, it was only after the Queen and the Crown Prince pleaded for him that his father released him.

He said something extremely treasonous, and the Queen and the Crown Prince could have ignored him, but they still pleaded for him.

Regardless of whether the Queen and the Crown Prince were hypocritical in trying to show their magnanimity, he was the one who benefited.

Moreover, my mother also said that the queen and the prince were rare kind people. If they had met the queens and princes of the previous dynasties, they would have died countless times.

The older he gets, the more he knows and the clearer he sees, and the more Jiang Heng understands his mother's actions.

He no longer felt that his mother's constant flattery of the Queen was unacceptable. If his mother had not flattered the Queen, he and his sister would not have existed.

Fortunately, the Queen and the Crown Prince were really generous. After that incident, they treated him as usual. Those who had said nonsense in front of him were punished instead.

Later, he studied with the prince for a period of time, and was completely impressed by the prince's knowledge, vision and ability.

He began to sincerely believe that Jiang Huai was a good brother and even a good prince.

If one day in the future, his father became as incompetent as the emperor of the previous dynasty and wanted to depose the empress and the crown prince, he felt that he would definitely stand on the side of the empress and the crown prince.

Because in his heart, no woman is more suitable to be the mother of a country than the queen, and no prince is more suitable to be the next emperor of Daxia than Jiang Huai.

After growing up, Jiang Heng saw his father's love and care for the prince and Princess Yale. He was no longer jealous, but he could not avoid envy.

After all, he is only eleven years old, and his father is so powerful. It is difficult for his admiration for his father and his desire for fatherly love to disappear all of a sudden.

He silently watched Jiang Yi having fun and couldn't help but look at his sister.

He was sensible enough to know that it was not his and it was useless to force it. But his sister was younger and he was afraid that she would make the same mistake as him.

Fortunately, his sister was well educated by his mother and was much more sensible than before. Although she looked like she wanted to play, she still stood there obediently, waiting for her mother to speak.

Children in the palace have a very short childhood. Even though Jiang Yue is only seven years old, she already knows that she is not her father’s favorite child.

Sometimes, children are more perceptive and they know how to read people's faces better than adults. They know when to take advantage of others and when to be obedient and sensible.
