Chapter 1097 1097: Palace Change (Part 1) [Please vote]
Pa!
The crisp slaps stunned both mother and son.
Ms. Mi is a female family member of the inner house. She has been pampered and pampered for many years, and her daily life is taken care of by her maids. How much strength can she have? The slap she received when she lost control of her emotions was not serious to an ordinary person, let alone her son who was practicing hard to replenish his martial spirit? His face didn't hurt, but his son's heart hurt. He couldn't believe it: "You hit me? Just because I wanted to fight, you hit me regardless of the friendship between mother and son?"
Ms. Mi came back to her senses, He stared blankly at his red palms.
Facing her son's questioning, she endured her heartache and changed from her usual gentle and docile demeanor: "I beat you for my mother, not because you want to fight with others, but because you despise your own life! This is why I gave birth to you during my ten-month pregnancy. Let you die in a 'collapse' way?"
At the end, she burst into tears.
The tears streaming down my face blurred my delicate makeup.
For the first time in his memory, his son saw Mi crying in front of him. His first reaction was that he felt distressed and wanted to say something soft and apologize. These thoughts only lasted for a moment, and he swallowed back the words rolling in his throat, extremely irritated: "Auntie, you are a housewife who doesn't understand anything at all... Death is different between people. It's better to die vigorously than to live. "What's the point of a life?"
All of his son's words combined did not hit Mi more than the first sentence. It was so big that her tears stopped and she looked at her son in shock. She really didn't understand. She didn't understand when her son, who had always been filial and obedient, had the idea of despising her. Like his father Wu Xian, he despised the wisdom of the housewife.
Even though Mi followed Wu Xian very early and gave birth to two sons and two daughters, Wu Xian did not like her to teach the children personally. When her children grow up to be six years old, they will be sent to the front yard. Those who have no talent for cultivation will go to school, and those who have talent for cultivation will follow the masters and martial arts masters hired with large sums of money to practice and study, from the end of the sky until the second watch. Mother and son spend less and less time together.
Now we can see them only at dawn and dusk every day.
Perhaps because there was too little communication, her impression of several children, especially the eldest son in front of her, still remained when they were young.
Mother and son depend on each other in the back house.
She works hard to protect her children, and they are filial and dependent on her.
I never thought that this sentence would come out of a child's mouth.
“You just——must fight for this way of death?”
She really didn’t understand her son’s thoughts.
Mi's words made her son furious: "How to die? Are you sure that I will lose? If you don't want to fight, forget it, but if I want to fight, I have to stop you? You are October She conceived me and gave me this life, But it doesn’t mean that I have to live my life like a puppet. You think it’s okay to live, but have you ever thought about whether I want to be a dwarf for the rest of my life?”
I can only bow my head in exchange for being born low. Survive?
Before that were the two sons of the first queen.
Their mother was of noble birth, and they themselves were legitimate sons. Looking back at myself, my mother was a dancer, and as a commoner, I really had no right to compete with them. In order to make life easier for myself and my mother-in-law, I have been warm-hearted and cold-hearted to them all these years, always being submissive, always smiling, and never feeling the slightest bit resentful.
It took a lot of effort to kill them, but in the end, the youngest who was only six months old plucked the fruit! Will I have to nod and bow to the youngest in the future? Why? Just ask why? Why can't he fight?
The position falls on the youngest, but he refuses to accept it!
Mi looked at her son, a complete stranger, as if she was meeting him for the first time: "You, you are crazy, you are crazy!"
The son said: "My son has never been crazy."
He looked at Mi with a little disappointment.
"It's just that you have never understood your son."
After saying this, he turned and left without hesitation.
Mi hurriedly chased him out, only to see his back disappearing at the end of the corridor. This scene drained her of all her strength. She slid down the door frame and collapsed on the ground. She didn't even know when her second son appeared: "Auntie, why are you sitting here?"
Seeing Mi's makeup stained by tears, she hurriedly called the palace maid to take her to wash up: "My son has heard about the fourth brother."
"Did your fourth brother ask you to come?"
Mi has a way of taking care of her servants.
No one dares to spread the word about what happened here in the palace.
The second son said: "Well, the fourth brother said that he lost control of his emotions and said harsh words. Mom, the fourth brother actually has his own difficulties."
Looking at the haggard person in the mirror, Mi didn't say a word.
The second son continued: "My father has many heirs, and all the concubine brothers are close in age. How can there be no conflicts in private? The fourth brother suffered a lot of secret losses in the past. He was worried that my mother would be distressed, so he didn't say anything. Son I also understand why the fourth brother wants to climb up. When he becomes a master, he really doesn’t want to look at people’s faces anymore. The days of lust and dependence. The two legitimate brothers are dead, and the remaining brothers are commoners. Why are they not qualified to compete for the position of the clan? "
The strength of the mother's family and the origin of the biological mother can only be regarded as bargaining chips. What are they really like? The principal is still the "son of Wu Xian", and the starting point of the brothers is actually the same. However, their mother-in-law has always been cautious. Even though she holds the power of the inner court, she is still polite to everyone she meets. It seems that anyone can squat on their head and shit.
Being gentle is not a bad thing, but you cannot be gentle to everyone.
Not only that, but I also told my brothers and friends to be respectful over and over again.
This word is a joke in the old Wu family.
Forget it if you are brothers from the same mother, why don’t you have nothing to do with other concubine brothers across the belly? You think of them as brothers and sisters, but they only think of you as the offspring of a dancing girl.
I don’t understand anything and I like to preach over and over again.
As time went by, the fourth brother naturally rebelled.
Mi: "..."
She really didn't know about her son being bullied.
"...But you are all your father's children..."
The second son sighed and stretched out a palm: "Mom, not counting those who died young and have no teeth, I have A total of fifty-three brothers and sisters. How can the first few children be ignored by him, and the following ones can see him all year round? As a biological father, they don’t pay much attention to them, let alone those servants who know how to deal with the wind.”
Some things will be gone if we don’t fight for them.
If you don’t keep to yourself, things will fall from the sky.
Some of the fourth brother's words were a bit extreme and unpleasant, but they were truly from the bottom of his heart, and they were all the grievances he had suffered over the years. Mrs. Mi found that her second son was also a stranger: "The question is, is it worth it? The country of Gao is in turmoil, and your father has been defeated and captured. How long can the country of Gao... be able to hold on? For the sake of a worthless reputation, you risk yourself. Is it really worth your life?”
The second son looked into her eyes and gave a positive answer.
“Aniang, it’s worth it.”
“Because this is what fourth brother is pursuing.”
“For fourth brother, this position above ten thousand people, Even if he can only sit there for one day, it’s still worth it. Why don’t you make it happen?”
It’s not that they can’t see Gao’s domestic and foreign troubles.
However, even if you are the leader of a subjugated country, it is still a height that many mediocre people cannot reach in their entire life? Not everyone cherishes life so much. Some people can give up their dignity in order to live, but there are also people who can give up their lives in order to live.
The fourth brother’s dignity lies in the throne.
After hearing this, Mi completely broke down and cried.
After crying, my swollen brain calmed down. She calmly wiped away her tears and suppressed her heartache: "I know it for my mother. Come here, pass my order and ask Wang Fangyi to discuss important matters."
As the highest-ranking concubine in the inner court, Mi was the same as the queen except for the title of queen. If she sends someone to invite someone, it doesn't matter if they don't come. The second son almost didn't react when he heard this, because Wang Fangyi is the youngest's biological mother, and Aniang... why would she invite him over at this time?
Second son: "Aniang?"
Mi: "Don't you want to fight?" This sentence directly made the second son unable to question.
“I really want to...”
He found that Mi's eyes had swept away the former kindness and gentleness, and became deep and dark, so pure that no emotion could be seen.
Ms. Mi suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and said resolutely: "Since we want to fight, let's take advantage of today. When the position of the youngest is confirmed in court tomorrow, you will be treasonous if you want to fight again. How many court officials Are you willing to support? It’s just the right time to do it tonight.”
Rebellion, palace coup.
Although they don't have many people, she has an advantage. The entire inner court is her home court. The biological mothers of those bastards can easily become hostages. With these people in hand, they can make other people use their weapons. As long as the inner court is controlled first, then the people from the outer court can be combined to suppress the news. Tomorrow's meeting will be the final word.
"It was definitely not his idea to give the throne to the youngest of your father. The two countries failed in the confrontation, and if a young master who knows nothing is promoted to the throne, how can the subjects sleep peacefully?"
It’s hard to say whether a six-month-old child will grow up.
Now it’s the second son’s turn to be punished.
"Auntie..."
Mi thought to herself: "Wang Fangyi is the biological mother of the new master. When the new master ascends the throne, she will be the Queen Mother. All the sisters in the palace will look up to her in the future. There is nothing wrong with trying to please someone in advance, especially those who are young and have not yet given birth to children..."
It's okay to have children. Being a widow is also a widow with children.
Others were left alone, widows.
As a concubine, she cannot go home and can only die in the palace.
Mi was quick and resolute, and with the help of her sister, she arranged the banquet in just half a day. Most of the concubines in the palace had no news and received no news from the outer court. Mi Shi was also kind to others and did not doubt the nature of the banquet. Most of them replied to the letter and kept the appointment. The few concubines who had received the news were worried, but they did not dare to conflict with Mi at this juncture.
They have support from their mother clan, but this support is separated by many palace walls. If there is really danger, they cannot come immediately.
Not everyone is willing to deal with Mi.
Some senior people found excuses to refuse.
“Something’s not right.” Worried that something had changed, they wanted to send a message to the outer court, but they couldn’t even open the palace door. After a lot of trouble, I found out that the palace door was locked from the outside, and there were people guarding all the exits. As if they were about to put people under house arrest, some people went crazy and said, "Bastards - who allowed you to do this?"
"You wuwuwu——"
Their yelling and cursing suddenly stopped. Stop.
Mei Jinghe only left a sneer.
Controlling the inner court is not troublesome. The troublesome thing is how to control the palace guards quietly without alerting other forces in the outer court. Mi has shown favors everywhere in recent years, and has also helped many poor families to intercede. Although she is not very powerful, she can come in handy at critical moments.
Looking at the inner court that seemed to be the same as usual, but in fact was filled with undercurrents, Qi Cang was speechless and said: "If you ask me, your cheap sister is more promising and smart than her children. Look, first The first time I tried to do a palace change, I did it in a decent way.”
Every process is very orderly, not like a novice.
Mei Meng said: "She is a smart woman."
During this period of contact, Mei Meng discovered that Mi has a toughness in her bones. This person looks as gentle as water on the surface, but is hard in her bones. Like iron! Really soft on the outside but strong on the inside! It's a pity that Mi's environment is so bad, and she has a son with a lofty ideal beside her, so she is destined to be dragged down! However, all this has nothing to do with Mei Meng. She only cares about one thing now——
She murmured as she looked at the nearly full moon in the sky.
“It’s begun!”
It’s stormy outside, but the inner court is bustling.
Wu Xian, the concubines and female relatives, are the least beautiful in appearance. They are thin and fat, and they are more delicate than flowers. Although she didn't deliberately dress up to go out, her silk and satin dress still shone brightly. When the guests were almost here, the more attentive ones among them noticed that today's seating arrangement was a bit strange. Why was Wang Fangyi's position moved to the front? Was it because the palace officials were careless and made a mistake?
No one corrected me until the banquet started.
This is intriguing.
What’s even more strange is that Wang Fangyi didn’t show up until the banquet started.
Ms. Mi: "Wang Fangyi just ordered someone over, saying that the child suddenly had a high fever at noon and refused to drink the nurse's milk. She had been guarding the child and had no intention of coming over."
This is true.
The people sent by the Mi family were still blocked outside.
Obviously, Wang Fangyi also knew the news that Wu Xian had given the Zen throne to her son. The unexpected joy left her no time to feel sad for Wu Xian. When she heard that Mi invited her over, she immediately made an excuse to refuse, preparing to survive the two days safely.
Mi didn’t force it.
The other concubines didn’t think anything was wrong.
Currently, medical technology is not high, and the infant mortality rate is not low. Children as young as six months old are likely to die from a high fever. Everyone has given birth and understands the feeling of being a mother, so they also understand Wang Fangyi. Mi looked at everyone, smiled and ordered people to start the banquet.
It wasn’t until after three rounds of drinking that she announced the news about Wu Xian.
Many people became drunk.
Hearing this, I was so frightened that I suddenly woke up.
The sound of a wine glass hitting the table was heard one after another.
Mi didn’t seem to hear.
“…Why is the inner court so quiet today?”
It should be updated at this time.
That’s right, I haven’t heard the wake-up call today.
Not only was there no sound of the watch, but there was no sound of patrol.
Someone followed and whispered in confusion.
"Quiet is indeed quiet. My demon star is the most noisy... and he always bullies his brothers. Why are you so good today?"
Many concubines brought their children to the banquet.
The Mi family has always advocated the concept of brothers, friends and brothers, hoping to bring more contact with princes, Wang and Ji of the same age, and the more they play, the closer the relationship will be. Her proposal was strongly supported by Wu Xian, and the other concubines had no choice but to do it in order to please Wu Xian. If it happens frequently, they will take their children out without Mi's deliberate notification. The adults are in the main hall, while the children stay in the side hall and are attended to by dedicated people.
The older ones are fine, but the younger ones like to cry.
One cry brings up a group of people.
Today——
They seemed too quiet.

Everything else is fine, but it’s annoying to have points deducted and fined.
