Chapter 92 Adding insult to injury
The Xu Guogong Mansion is now only majestic on the surface, but in fact it is not as good as it looks. If it were not for the presence of the other two Dukes' mansions, the three Dukes' mansions would restrain each other, and the emperor would not be able to take action at will. .
I am afraid that Xu Guogong's luck is coming to an end. It is hard to say whether there will be a Duke named Li in the future in Kyoto.
Everyone knows that Duke Xu Guo and Li Qun are the emperor’s most trusted ministers. In Kyoto, in addition to the Duke Xu’s family, there are also the Duke Heng’s Palace and the Duke’s Palace Yang.
In the emperor's view, these two houses are even less fuel-efficient than Xu Guogong's mansion.
The Duke of Hengguo was a temporary defector. It was only one month before Li Xiuhuai ascended the throne that he chose to betray the prince he originally supported and chose to stand behind Li Xiuhuai.
The Duke of Yangguo is an upright family who only knows how to handle things and is not humane. They will not take the initiative to choose a camp. Being an official in the court is just an official, and they never interfere with other things.
The emperor would not entrust a lowly person with important responsibilities. He knew very well that if Duke Heng Guo betrayed his brother for him in the past, he would betray him for others in the future.
So he didn’t believe it.
The emperor will not use an unreasonable iron plate, because it is really inconvenient to use, and everything must be explained clearly, which is boring.
So at present, the emperor can only choose Xu Guogong's mansion. Even if Li Qun was his love rival, he will still choose Li Qun.
The emperor and Li Qun were once brothers. The tacit understanding between them is not something that ordinary people can have. There are many things that the emperor needs to do, just by saying a few words, Li Qun will understand them and then take action.
This kind of tacit understanding is enough for the emperor to let go of those things in the past.
Moreover, in the emperor's opinion, when he wanted to marry Cui Xiu as his concubine, Li Qun did not make any move to resist, nor did he feel any dissatisfaction later.
This shows that between their brothers, a woman is nothing at all.
In the emperor's heart, women are just clothes, but brothers are brothers. There are so many clothes, so why not throw away one.
But there are only those hands and feet. If they are lost, they are gone.
The emperor thought so in his heart, and he felt that Li Qun must also think so in his heart, so he could tolerate Li Qun for the time being.
As long as Li Qun has no rebellious intentions, he will always use Li Qun, and the friendship between them will always be there.
This is why the Xu Guogong Mansion is developing better and stronger now. In the final analysis, it relies on the friendship between Li Qun and the emperor.
In life, in addition to those things about yourself, friendship is also indispensable.
The place where there are people is the rivers and lakes, whether it is the court or the countryside, above the rivers and lakes, you need to have feelings.
The emperor can't touch other Duke's mansions now, so he won't allow Duke Xu's mansion to fall. He must have some people in his hands.
“The Ai family heard that Ning Bin has not seen the Sixth Prince for a long time.”
“Actually, it’s better not to see him.”
"If I see you, if you want to see me in the future, wouldn't it delay the Sixth Prince?"
The Queen Mother originally wanted to direct her anger at Cui Xiu, but Cui Xiu took out the "Gold Medal to Avoid Death" ", that is, the fifth prince.
Cui Xiu was spared a meal, but the anger would not disappear inexplicably. The Queen Mother made such a remark, and all the Queen Mother's anger was transferred to Ning Bin.
"The Ai family is also thinking about the Sixth Prince."
"This child is still young and it is really not appropriate to know too many things."
"Ning Bin, you don't resent the Ai family, do you?"
The Queen Mother said, raising her eyes to look at Ning Bin, Ning Bin lowered her eyebrows, even if she was angry in her heart, she dared not speak out. She was just a little concubine, how could she dare to resent the Queen Mother.
Ning Bin’s expression was a bit bitter, she still had to do enough on the surface, otherwise everyone present would be suspicious.
Hearing the sound, Cui Xiu turned his gaze to Ning Bin. Seeing the expression on her face, he thought to himself that the Queen Mother really didn't know something. Your statement that it is best not to see the Sixth Prince has become Ning Bin's wish. She is probably still worried about finding any reason not to see the Sixth Prince.
After all, Ning Bin's child is the fifth prince, and she can see it every day.
“I know the Queen Mother’s teachings.”
“I have no complaints.”
Ning Concubine responded to the Queen Mother deliberately and stumbled. This performance made those who The concubine who watched the show felt happy.
Especially Concubine Chun, who has always been at odds with Concubine Ning. When Concubine Ning was in Concubine Chun's palace, Concubine Chun often gave Ning Concubine a stumbling block.
Now that Concubine Ning has given birth to a son, she has been promoted to concubine. If she has another child in the future, wouldn't she be on an equal footing with her?
"Sister, the Queen Mother is also doing it for the good of the child."
"After the child is raised, when I see you in the future, I will still call you Ning Bing."
Chun Fei sat aside and watched the fun, not thinking it was a big deal. She joined in the fun and said a few words that would choke people to death.
How could Concubine Chun be willing to let it go when she had the opportunity to bully Ning Bin? Originally, the sixth prince was to be fostered under her knees.
If she hadn't been sick and the emperor was worried about her health, how could he have allowed the sixth prince to be at Concubine Yun's knees.
When Concubine Chun knew about it at that time, she felt that Ning Bin, a vixen, was really lucky. The mother was just as valuable as the child, and the child had such a good adoptive mother.
What a good life. How come this ordinary person has such a good life?
As soon as Concubine Chun said this, everyone quieted down with tacit understanding, and the Queen Mother looked over.
Obviously the Queen Mother is not satisfied with what Chun Fei said. Isn’t this nonsense?
Even if she wasn't raised by Concubine Yun, wouldn't the child still have to call her Ning Bin when she saw her?
"Okay, pure concubine, please shut up."
The Queen Mother has always disliked taking care of these concubines in the harem. She has no regard for these concubines married by the emperor. Disdainful.
But the emperor likes it, even if she doesn't like it, she can only turn a blind eye and give her proper education.
When Concubine Chun heard what the Queen Mother said, she stopped talking and quickly shut up.
"Mother, after all, this is all."
"The sixth prince is still not as good as the fifth prince. I have seen him from a distance several times."
"That child is thin and weak."
“I heard that I got sick a few days ago.”
The queen said, looking in the direction of Ning Bin, and seeing that Ning Bin was still standing there, she spoke Said: "But fortunately, Sister Yun takes good care of her."
"I heard it's getting better."
"Sister Ning Bin, I can feel relieved."
The queen said, her eyes swept from Ning Bin to Cui Xiu , seeing Cui Xiu not speaking, her eyes showed a little surprise.
According to common sense, when they said this about Ning Bin, Cui Xiu would have stood up to speak for Ning Bin just now.
But today they all talked about this, but Cui Xiu didn't make any movement, as if he didn't hear what he just said.
Could it be that her temper changed after giving birth to a child?
