Chapter 91: Trampling on Bila
Cui Xiu knew in his heart that the Queen Mother did not have any favorable impressions of her, and even if she did, most of those favorable impressions disappeared after she and Ning Bin.
Cui Xiu guessed that the Queen Mother would definitely trip her up, but she didn’t expect that the trip would come so suddenly and so shockingly.
I was speechless.
Everyone's eyes followed the Queen Mother's words and turned to Cui Xiu. Some people's faces clearly showed that they were laughing, and some people did not show it on the surface, but they were already "excited" in their hearts. Some people showed concern.
Most people were waiting to see Cui Xiu's jokes, but Cui Xiu didn't have any jokes for them to watch.
People who want to see other people’s jokes will become that joke if they are not careful.
As the saying goes, thirty years to the east of Hedong and thirty years to west of Hexi, it is also said that the wind and water change in turns. When you come to my house this year, it is better not to be too arrogant.
Except her, Cui Xiu, of course.
"If you want to return to the Queen Mother, I have sent someone to bring you." Cui Xiu left a hand specially, and the look on her face was calm, as if she had expected it.
Cui Xiu knew that the Queen Mother usually did not summon her, but this time Zhao summoned her, and it was definitely to see the child.
So, even if the little eunuch who announced Yi's decree hadn't told her, she would not have forgotten the fifth prince. Besides, the fifth prince was such a good "shield". If she didn't use it, wouldn't she have let Ning down? Concubine.
Cui Xiu only felt that today's summons was not that simple. With the fifth prince here, even if the Queen Mother did not like her, she would not dislike her, the little emperor's grandson.
For the sake of the Fifth Prince, the Queen Mother will not be too harsh.
As soon as Cui Xiu finished speaking, the nanny appeared steadily at the door of Rende Palace's bedroom with the child in her arms. Everyone watched as the nanny brought the fifth prince in.
Cui Xiu glanced at the fifth prince and asked the nanny to carry the child to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother saw that the child was looking fresh and healthy, and her original serious face softened a bit.
The Queen Mother took over the Fifth Prince in full public view. She looked at the Fifth Prince and saw that the Fifth Prince was smiling happily at her, and her face became a little more tender.
“This Xiaowu really looks like his father.”
“The Ai family remembers that when the emperor was first born, he was also so lively and pleasing to the people.”
As soon as the Queen Mother said these words, the atmosphere in the entire palace changed. Everyone here who wanted to see Cui Xiu's joke did not expect that the Queen Mother would be "conquered" by a child.
Cui Xiu had a light smile on her face that was neither arrogant nor impetuous. She was not arrogant because she was the biological mother of the child. When the Queen Mother saw this, she felt relieved about the embarrassment.
Although the Queen Mother was not happy with Cui Xiu, Cui Xiu gave birth to a little prince for the emperor. As the saying goes, the mother is more valuable than the son, and it makes sense.
Besides, Cui Xiu's immediate reaction made the Queen Mother feel good. As a Queen Mother, she had seen too many concubines who felt that they were special because they gave birth to a prince.
Just giving birth to a prince is nothing to be proud of.
Concubine Ning, who was standing behind Cui Xiu, saw the Queen Mother's love for the fifth prince. She breathed a sigh of relief and slowly clenched her lowered hands. She thought to herself, if Cui Xiu had not supported the fifth prince, The prince's heart.
So isn't the Queen Mother a good choice?
The Queen Mother is the biological mother of the Emperor. If the Queen Mother likes the fifth prince enough, her children will naturally have a place in the future battle for the throne.
All Ning Bin thinks about is the fifth prince, as long as the fifth prince can defeat his brothers and become the heir to the throne.
Then she’s finally done.
Ning Bin believes that that day will come eventually.
She also always believed that that day would not be too far away.
Cui Xiu's peripheral vision caught the expressions of the Queen Mother and other concubines. She was thinking about what kind of medicine the Queen Mother was selling in this gourd.
“For Xiao Wu’s sake, the Ai family will not make it difficult for you.”
“Come here, give Concubine Jia a seat.”
The Queen Mother hugged her The fifth prince slowly raised his eyes, glanced at Cui Xiu with a mean look, and raised his hand to signal the maid on the side.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for the seat." Cui Xiu had just sat down. Before the chair got warm, someone started talking again.
"Mother, not only Sister Jia gave birth to a child some time ago."
"Concubine Ning also gave birth to a little prince."
The Queen Mother who was sitting next to her continued talking with a smile on her face. After hearing the Queen's words, the Queen Mother's face did not change much.
"Yeah."
"The Ai family has seen that child."
"Let it be raised at Yun'er's place." The Queen Mother said as she thought about it.
Not every prince likes her. The emperor has so many sons, and not many of them can really get along with her.
“If we return to our mother, the Sixth Prince will be raised by Sister Yun.”
When the Queen Mother heard the Queen's words, she nodded, her voice carrying a hint of yin and yang.
"Yun'er is a good person, and the Sixth Prince will not be too bad in the future."
"Ning Bin, you don't have to worry too much, the Sixth Prince can be raised under Yun'er's knees."
"That is the blessing that your Ning family has cultivated over many lifetimes."
"What do you think?" The Queen Mother's words were full of harshness, in front of these concubines and even officials. The scene of the married woman directly slapped Ning Bin in the face.
The meaning of the Queen Mother's words was that Ning Bin was born in a lowly position and was the daughter of a merchant. If she raised her own children, she would be "worse than a pig or a dog".
Fortunately, the royal family was thoughtful and able to bring Ning Bin’s child to Concubine Yun in time. This was considered a blessing for Ning Bin and the Sixth Prince.
Not everyone’s children can be raised under Concubine Yun’s knees. Concubine Yun’s family background is very important. How many people want a concubine like this? Even Cui Xiu’s background is inferior to Concubine Yun’s family. of.
Cui Xiu's father, Cui Zhenghai, was at most a military prince, while Concubine Yun's father was a proper duke.
Since ancient times, there has been a ranking of "gonghou, uncle, son". If you are one step behind, you are still behind. No matter how hard you chase, you can't catch up.
Now Concubine Yun's younger brother Li Qun has inherited the title and has become the head of Duke Xu's mansion. He is well spoken in the court. Although his personality is a bit withdrawn, he still has the power.
Compared with Li Qun, Cui Xiu's brothers can be said to be very average. Cui Xiu's eldest brother is weak and only works as a small civil servant, while the second brother has some abilities.
Cui Chu made great achievements on the battlefield, but after all he was still young, just a spark, and not yet a good person.
Comparing the two aspects, it is not too much for the Queen Mother to say that Ning Bin was lucky to have accumulated virtues from her ancestors. This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“That’s what the Queen Mother said.”
Naturally, Ning Bin did not refute, because to her, the Sixth Prince was nothing more than a casual affection.
After all, the Sixth Prince was not her biological child. Whose hands he placed in his hands or how he was raised had nothing to do with her, and she was too lazy to care.
They all said it would be good to be raised by Concubine Yun, but Concubine Ning didn’t think so.
The Xu Guogong family is good and more prominent than the Cui family, but this big tree is really too big.
Ning Bin only felt that the big tree attracts the wind, and the sixth prince's future may not be as good as her fifth prince's. This is the case now, and it will be the same in the future.
