Chapter 179 Self-indulgent
The fifth prince returned to his seat and glanced at Concubine Shangjia who was sitting there. He looked at his mother-in-law who looked calm and relaxed, eating and drinking tea. Don't fall behind.
The fifth prince felt strange in his heart, why none of the Cui family members were old enough.
They didn’t seem very smart.
As a teenage child, he knew the pros and cons, but his mother-in-law and his uncle ignored it, which really gave him a headache.
He originally thought that it was just his mother and concubine who was not very bright. After too many good days, she lost her positive thoughts and just guarded her own three-acre land all day long, which really felt like a waste.
He originally thought that since his uncle was an official in the court, he should understand the current situation in the court and the entire Ming Qi.
Now that he took the initiative to find him, his uncle was supposed to be omnipotent. His face was full of joy, and he enthusiastically discussed the next plan with him.
However, his second uncle was so indifferent that he threw his face on the ground. Just like his mother and concubine, they were worthy of being brothers and sisters, and their methods of dealing with things were exactly the same.
Such a huge sense of disparity made it difficult for the fifth prince to calm down for a while. He did not expect that he would be rejected in such a tactful way.
All this was really beyond his expectation.
The situation in the court is so intense now. The ministers in the court each have their own choices and positions. They all choose the side that is most beneficial to them.
In this life, choices are often greater than efforts. Good work is not as good as good choices, and good choices are not as good as birth
The fifth prince really understands this truth. Now in the DPRK There are many people on his side, and he understands that most of those people choose him because he is Concubine Jia's biological son, and choosing him means placing their treasure on the Cui family.
To be honest, they are more willing to trust the fifth prince than the other princes.
Because the third prince's skin and temperament are usually reflected in his personality, most ministers in the court know what kind of personality he has, and he is not the best candidate to be the prince.
As for the Sixth Prince, he lost at the starting line. Although the ministers didn’t know much about him, they also knew the Sixth Prince’s true identity. He was just a little concubine. In this harem There are many concubines.
But there are only a few people who can really climb up to the position of noble concubine.
The emperor had his own considerations. He established nobleness not only because he doted on this concubine, nor because a certain concubine gave birth to a child for him.
Although the sixth prince was raised by Concubine Yun, Concubine Yun would never treat him like her own son. After all, this son was not her biological son. No matter how well-raised he was, he would only be used as a wedding dress for others.
The fifth prince really couldn't understand whether his mother had had too many good times and was confused.
Cui Xiu felt the gaze from the fifth prince. He turned his head over and looked at the fifth prince, as if to say, "Why does my son look at me like this?"
Cui Xiu saw the scene where the fifth prince went to find her second brother Cui Chu. Her second brother was still not confused. It seemed that the fifth prince was rejected, otherwise this boy's face would not be so dark.
It is no different from the blackened iron.
Cui Xiu secretly felt a bit of disdain in his heart, thinking: "This silly kid thinks that he can get the Cui family to help him with just a few words. He is simply fanciful."
Cui Xiu is not willing to let her family take such a big risk to make wedding clothes for others.
So he had communicated with the Cui family early in his life. Now everyone in the Cui family and those who are close to him know about her relationship with the fifth prince.
This is why the Cui family did not take the initiative to show favor to the fifth prince for so many years. Although she did not say anything, her family understood her. When his second brother knew about this, he wished he could immediately go to the imperial court and reveal the evil deed done by Ning Bin to the emperor, so that the emperor could make a decision.
Judging from this incident, Cui Xiu knew that his second brother had always valued him.
In fact, Cui Xiu understood that it would have been best for their family to be harmonious and not have those weird things at home.
But there are always people who are envious, jealous, and hateful towards the Cui family, and there is always some imbalance in their hearts, wondering why your family is safe and happy, while my family is restless.
Obviously some people did it themselves, but they blame others for having a happy life without doing it. This is to be strict with others and be lenient with yourself.
It’s really despicable.
The fifth prince stood up, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and walked to Cui Xiu's table.
"Do you have anything to say to me?" Cui Xiu didn't wait for the fifth prince to say anything, and asked directly. He knew that the fifth prince must have a lot to say in his heart, but he couldn't say a lot of things in this scene.
After all, she is the mother-in-law of the fifth prince. Even if the fifth prince has resentment towards him, he cannot directly accuse her.
"Concubine, why do you do this to me?" The fifth prince was puzzled. He frowned and asked Cui Xiu. They were obviously the real mother and son, but why couldn't he be connected with him? ?
Ever since the fifth prince came to know something, Cui Xiu has never looked at him seriously. She has never looked down upon him, as if in his eyes, her son is a born waste.
But who is born to be a waste, and who is born to be a genius with extraordinary talents.
Cui Xiu doesn't love him.
"What do you mean by Yan'er's words? What have I done to make you look at me like this? I just did what I should do to find my mother."
"How can I call you that?" Such resentment is deep."
Cui Xiu knew what the fifth prince was talking about like a mirror, but he seemed to have manipulated the fifth prince and deliberately went around.
Cui Xiu made the fifth prince feel blocked and made him understand what should be fought for and what should not be fought for, what things could be wanted and what things should not be wanted.
The Cui family has nothing to do with him. If he intends to compete for the position of crown prince, he will rely on his true talents and knowledge and the connections he has accumulated to win that position in a dignified manner.
Instead of trying to rely on other people's strength and stepping on other people's corpses to get to the position he dreams of.
He succeeded in the past, but this time he didn't even think about it. The winner and the loser still don't know what the outcome will be.
"Concubine, you," the fifth prince wanted to say something, but the words couldn't come out. He didn't know why he was frightened by Cui Xiu's two words.
The fifth prince felt that his mother-in-law was not as inactive as he imagined, and she only knew how to have fun all day long.
Rather, she is like a person pretending to be confused. She is waiting for the opportunity, but for whom is she waiting for this opportunity?
The fifth prince had a little fantasy in his heart. He was imagining that Cui Xiu was waiting for an opportunity for him.
