   Chapter 79 Mother and Son

   Concubine Qin smiled very happily.

  The fourth prince was stunned for a moment, and looked at Concubine Qin, who was smugly jumping between his eyebrows: "Why is the concubine so happy?"

  Concubine Qin stretched out her fingers with a smile and lightly tapped the fourth prince's forehead: "You, why can't you understand this."

   "Li Jing and Li Hao turned against a woman because of a woman. In the future, Lu Mingyu will marry into a heavenly family as a daughter-in-law, and there will be a lot of fun to watch. Queen Qiao and Su Zhaorong will be estranged, and your father and emperor will anger your second brother and third brother for this."

   "Isn't that something to be happy about for you?"

   The fourth prince's heart beat fast, and he was inexplicably guilty and panicked: "Mother concubine..."

Concubine Qin glanced deeply at the fourth prince whose complexion suddenly changed: "There is no one else here, only our mother and son, what else is there to say? You are also the son of your father, so why can't you think about that position? Think about it?"

   "Your father favors your eldest brother, your second brother is the direct son, and your third brother is implicated by his biological mother. In fact, he is excellent in both civil and military skills."

"You are young, and you can't compete with them. Fortunately, your grandmother loves you the most, and your life is not difficult. You hide away and watch them compete. The harder they fight, the more difficult it is for you. Good thing."

   "When the snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman wins. You don't need me to teach this principle, you should understand it."

   Dong Dong Dong!

  The fourth prince's heart was beating like a beat, and he stood up suddenly: "Mother, don't say anything."

  Concubine Qin looked at her son whose expression changed greatly, and said lightly: "You are fourteen this year, so you are not too young. There are some things that my mother won't tell you, you should think about it carefully."

   "Actually, I don't like the Zhao family, let alone the stupid girl Zhao Yu. However, from the perspective of your imperial grandmother, I have to recognize this marriage."

   "The Marquis of Puyang has a mediocre fighting ability, which is far worse than that of the Marquis of Guangping, the King of Xingyang. However, he is the cousin of the emperor's direct relative. He grew up with the emperor, and his affection is different from ordinary people."

"Furthermore, Marquis Puyang is alert and flexible. Having such a father-in-law is also a great help to you. Therefore, I will never stop you from going to Zhao's house. In the future, you will probably marry Zhao Yu. , it's okay to coax her if you have nothing to do..."

   The fourth prince's head was buzzing, and his face was not very good: "Mother, I have a headache, so I will go back first."

After    finished speaking, he left without looking at his mother.

   Concubine Qin smiled helplessly as she looked at her son who had fled in a hurry.

   It seems that the medicine was taken a little harder today, scaring my son.

   But he has grown up day by day, and he should see the reality clearly. There is only one storage seat, but the prince has five. Leaving aside the five princes who were unable to achieve the goal, the four princes all have the strength to compete.

   This is no different than inheriting the family business, which can only be inherited by the son-in-law. The inheritance of the throne, in addition to the establishment of the heir, can also establish the virtuous. Emperor Yongjia is in his prime, and the days to come are very long.

   Whoever has the last laugh is the real winner.

  …

   Jiaofang Hall.

   Queen Qiao ordered all the people in the palace to retreat, walked to the second prince, and asked in a low voice, "You went to Zhao's house today and saw Miss Lu Si?"

   A trace of tenderness flashed in the eyes of the second prince, and he smiled and hummed.

   Queen Qiao looked at her, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.

   What a sin!

   The second prince single-mindedly identified Lu Mingyu. She couldn't resist her son, so she had to follow him.

   More than a month ago, the second prince quietly left the palace and went to the other courtyard of Huangzhuang to see who she was. She knew in her heart, but she was just turning a blind eye.

   Queen Qiao also has an advantage. Now that she has accepted this, she will try her best to think about the benefits of this marriage. I never said that Lu Mingyu was bad.

When    was like this, he even joked with a smile: "You are full of enthusiasm, I'm afraid Fourth Miss Lu may not be willing to take care of you."

   The second prince's smile deepened: "I came to see my mother, just to tell my mother that she has already changed her mind and is willing to marry me as his wife."

Queen Qiao thought of the rebellious Lu Mingyu, and she had a faint headache, but her face did not reveal: "Oh? This is a good thing." After thinking about it, she stood up and said, "I will talk to your royal father about this. "

  Son's life-long event, as a mother, she always has to do her best.

  The second prince stared at Queen Qiao, who was very thin and haggard, and whispered: "Thank you mother. These days, the mother has been worrying about her son, and her son is not filial."

   received a whip, but insisted on marrying Lu Mingyu.

   Queen Qiao was so exhausted that she had to obey his wishes. During this period of time, Queen Qiao's life really continued to be difficult.

   Listening to her son's thoughtful words, all the disappointment and dissatisfaction in Queen Qiao's heart disappeared.

   Queen Qiao stretched her brows and smiled: "You can marry a wife and become a biological child early, and be filial to me, that's all."

   The second prince looked at the smiling Queen Qiao and replied in a low voice, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will honor my Queen Mother."

   also protects the queen.

   will never let the queen be killed by Su Zhaorong again.

   Queen Qiao was unaware of her son's complicated and dark thoughts. Hearing this sentence, Queen Qiao smiled, and the awkwardness in her heart disappeared.

   That's all, as long as his son likes it, he can marry Lu Mingyu if he wants!

  …

  After Queen Qiao made up her mind, she sent a letter to Wenhua Hall that evening.

  Emperor Yongjia was about to go to Yanxi Palace to have dinner with Concubine Meng after finishing his political affairs.

   Eunuch Liu came to report: "Report to the emperor, the empress has sent a letter asking the emperor to go to the Jiaofang Palace. The empress has something important to discuss with the emperor."

  Wenhua Hall was where Emperor Yongjia handled political affairs, and concubines in the harem were not allowed to enter.

   Queen Qiao was cautious in her words and deeds, and never came to Wenhua Hall on her own initiative unless the Emperor Yongjia called her.

   The last time he broke into the Wenhua Hall was because Emperor Yongjia whipped his son in a rage. Queen Qiao's gaffe happened just once.

  Emperor Yongjia hesitated for a while, then nodded: "Okay, pass my word and set up Jiaofang Hall."

   Queen Joe is a virtuous wife. The husband and wife have been married for many years, and Emperor Yongjia has always respected his dignified, generous and virtuous wife.

   On the first and fifteenth day of every month, as long as Emperor Yongjia is in the capital, he will definitely stay at Jiaofang Hall. It gave Queen Qiao enough dignity and decency.

   However, most of the rest of the days are spent in Yanxi Palace.

  Concubine Qin was a cousin of her aunt’s family, and she was very understanding and knowledgeable, and Emperor Yongjia also went to sit there from time to time.

   In terms of beauty, Su Zhaorong is number one in the harem. However, Su Zhaorong was weak and prone to crying, and Emperor Yongjia really didn't like this kind of temperament, only two or three times a month.

  Emperor Yongjia set up the Jiaofang Hall, and Queen Qiao greeted her with a salutation, with a dignified and gentle smile: "I have seen the emperor before."

  The etiquette is comprehensive, but the intimacy between husband and wife is also missing.

  Emperor Yongjia stretched out his hand to support Queen Qiao, and said with a warm smile: "No need to be polite. Didn't the Queen say that she has something to discuss with me? What is it?"
