Chapter 117 Complaining behind the back
As night fell, the palace became quiet. The emperor has been busy with government affairs recently, and almost always rests in the Yangxin Hall. He rarely goes to the harem. There are many concubines who are usually loved. There are some frowns, but there are more smiles than usual.
In Ning Bin's bedroom, Ning Bin sat aside. Opposite her sat a child dressed in brocade, showing his first signs of nobility. When he saw his face clearly.
It was the fifth prince who made a scene in the Queen Mother's Palace in the afternoon and was warned by Cui Xiu when he came back.
In the past five years, although the Empress Dowager clearly did not allow Ning Bin to get close to the fifth prince, the child was raised in Concubine Jia's palace after all, not in her palace.
Ning Bin winked, but at best she had to endure it a little during the day, as the fifth prince would not get too close. When no one was watching, she could go to Cui Xiu and see the fifth prince in the name of talking.
Ning Bin always went there, so Cui Xiu followed Ning Bin's thoughts and relaxed his vigilance towards her, asking her to look after the fifth prince.
Seeing Cui Xiu relax, Ning Bin thought it was because of her own superb acting skills, so she asked Cui Xiu to ignore her past grudges. Similarly, she also knew that Cui Xiu was tired, and besides, he was the son of the adopted emperor. .
Who in the harem doesn’t know Cui Xiu’s old stories.
Although Ning Concubine came later, she also knew a lot about the news about the concubines in the palace. After all, the fifth prince was raised by Cui Xiu. If she didn't investigate clearly, she would not worry about Cui Xiu.
Cui Xiu was obviously superior in all aspects, her appearance, temperament, family background and knowledge could be said to be superior, but she was not favored. She was married to the emperor for six or seven years before she became pregnant and gave birth to a child.
Ning Bin knows that the emperor is not a fool. He can naturally see Cui Xiu's excellence. But he is the emperor and only others please him. How can he please others?
Ning Bin was able to detect something fishy from the several encounters between the emperor and Concubine Jia, that is, Concubine Jia did not like the emperor and was resentful of the emperor.
"Mother Ning, my mother-in-law is so annoying."
"You actually asked me to calm things down today. It was obviously the third brother who scolded me first, so why should I calm things down and calm people down!"
"I will be really angry!"
The fifth prince complained to Ning Bin, and he fell down with all the bitterness in his stomach. The corners of his lips were curled up on his small face, and his eyebrows were furrowed.
When Ning Bin heard what the fifth prince said, she always responded to the fifth prince in a soft voice: "Yan'er, this matter is not entirely your mother's fault."
“You have great ambitions in your heart, but your mother-in-law has never had such an idea.”
“So, she doesn’t want you to stand out and fight.”
Ning Bin never revealed his life experience to the fifth prince, because Ning Bin knew that such a child would not be able to bear many things, and besides, she had already made up her mind to send the child to Cui Xiuxian, that is to say From start to finish.
Ning Bin thought, the more Concubine Jia suppresses the fifth prince and does things that displease the fifth prince, then she will encourage the fifth prince and encourage him to fight for everything he wants.
If the fifth prince fights, then tell everyone that Concubine Jia and the Cui family are going to tear off the piece of the pie to win the heir apparent.
After all, the fifth prince is Cui Xiu’s only child. As long as the fifth prince makes moves, everyone will naturally think of Cui Xiu.
In Ning Bin's view, as long as the fifth prince wants it, it doesn't matter whether Cui Xiu wants it or not. If one day the prince is deposed and the fifth prince becomes the prince, Cui Xiu will not enjoy the success.
Ning Bin felt that Concubine Jia didn't want the fifth prince to fight, she just didn't want to sacrifice her mother's family and didn't want her brothers and sisters to become victims of the fight.
How can you get something without sacrificing it? Wouldn't it be a joke if one could take over the East Palace without sacrificing anyone?
"Ms. Ning, ever since I was little, my mother-in-law has always asked me to learn more from Xiaoliu."
"Xiaoliu has such a boring temper that he didn't even get angry when his third brother called him a bastard. . ”
When Ning Bin heard the fifth prince mentioning the sixth prince, her eyes immediately showed a hint of worry, which happened to fall in the eyes of the fifth prince. The fifth prince is a child, and Ning Bin can fool the child with just a little acting.
The fifth prince saw the displeased expression on Empress Ning Bin’s face, and he began to wonder if he had said something wrong. After all, in the fifth prince’s view, the sixth brother was Empress Ning Bin’s biological son.
He really shouldn't talk about Xiaoliu in front of his biological mother.
But his mother-in-law is really annoying. He doesn’t want to be like Xiao Liu, who is as soft as cotton all day long and can be punched by anyone.
“Ms. Ning, I didn’t mean to belittle my sixth brother.”
"It's just that I'm really too angry."
The fifth prince explained to Concubine Ning very seriously. His childish face showed a maturity that was beyond his age. He knew how to discern people's hearts at a young age. Observe the words and colors.
Ning Bin was happy in her heart. He was worthy of being her son. He had strong adaptability.
Ask the children of the same age who has the smart mind of their little five. Ning Bin showed a faint smile on her face and comforted the fifth prince: "It's okay, everything you said is true."
< br>“Xiao Liu’s character is indeed too weak.”
"Yan'er doesn't have to think too much. Xiao Liu is now being raised under the knees of Concubine Yun Gui, so I can rest assured."
The fifth prince heard Concubine Ning's generous answer, and Concubine Ning took care of her. Looking at the overall situation, he couldn't help but show a look of respect in his eyes.
"Empress Ning, tell me that if I really want to sit on that throne."
"If I tell my mother-in-law, will she help me?"
The fifth prince said, his eyes subconsciously showing worry. Although he was young, he had many things on his mind. His first teacher was the most handsome young man in the previous generation of Ming Qi.
The fifth prince is a little afraid of Li Qun, not just because Li Qun can beat or curse people.
After all, he is Duke Xu. He is more frightened when he sees Li Qun than when he sees his father, but every time he sees his mother and concubine, there is no obstacle for him to chat with Li Qun.
"Don't worry, Yan'er."
"Concubine Jia Gui has a sharp mouth but a soft heart. If you want it, she will definitely satisfy you."
"It's just that This matter cannot be convinced by Concubine Jia once and for all. Yan'er also needs to say reassuring words to Concubine Jia from time to time."
"Concubine Jia still loves you very much."
The meaning of Ning Bin's words is very obvious. After all, Cui Xiu is the real mother of the child now. If the fifth prince fails to seize the rightful son, she will definitely not stand idly by. of.
“Hey, I hope things are really as Empress Ning said!”
“But I really don’t understand.”
“It seems that the sixth brother is my mother-in-law. I picked it up as a child!”
Ning Bin was shocked by what the fifth prince said so quickly. These words were not said casually.
If someone knows about it, they will definitely take advantage of it!
"Yan'er, this matter is not a trivial matter, but you still have to be careful in your words and deeds."
