Abao felt sad.

When she was young, she ate it for every meal when spring vegetables were ripe.

Since Xuanyuan Wu sat at the same table with her for three meals a day, he also ate spring vegetables for every meal. How did he survive after Xuanyuan Wu got the rash?

A Bao didn't dare to think too deeply.

A Bao changed the subject in a stiff tone, "Father may still be thinking about Fifth Brother, otherwise, Father would not have given Fifth Brother to you, Mother, to raise."

Imperial Concubine Wen had always been gentle and kind, but at this moment, a fierce look flashed in her eyes, "Prince Wu was only six or seven years old at that time. Your father left him in the old palace of Concubine Bai and allowed those palace maids and eunuchs to secretly bully him..."

Concubine Wen was silent for a moment, unable to bear it, "Wu'er, that child will die."

Her own father is such a scumbag and cruel.

After a moment of silence, A Bao suddenly realized, "So it was you, mother, who proposed to father to bring my fifth brother to Guanju Palace."

"Your Er is not wrong. I can't just watch him die."

Upon hearing this, A Bao once again remembered what Xuanyuan Wu said about him being a dependent in Guanju Palace. She immediately became angry and sad.

Concubine Wen sighed and warned, "Don't let Prince Wu know what I just said."

Ah Bao was slightly surprised, "Does it mean that even if I call you Fifth Brother until I die, I will still hate you?"

Concubine Wen's eyes dimmed, and she blamed herself, "Prince Wu is very thoughtful. Although I raised him in the past, I never let him know that Guanju Palace is also his home, and I didn't let him understand that since I raised him, I am his mother."

"Prince Wu murdered his brother and rebelled. Your father will not let him go."

"If he finds out before he dies that he was wrong from the beginning, he will feel bad. It would be better if he could blame me and hate me forever, so that his life can have a beginning and an end."

A Bao's heart tightened and he hummed uncomfortably, which was considered as his agreement.

She put her arms around Concubine Wen's waist, just like when she was a child and acted coquettishly in her mother's arms.

"Mother, have you ever expected the emperor's sincerity?"

"I won't." The usually gentle and kind Concubine Wen suddenly got angry and even forgot to call herself "This Palace". She said angrily: "Your father's sincerity is worthless! But the throne under his butt is worth my tolerating him."

A Bao's mind, which had been tense all night, strangely relaxed at this moment.

In fact, what she wanted to ask was, her mother is both outstanding in appearance and talent, and Bailu Academy is full of young talents. Didn’t her mother have a crush on someone when she was a girl?

Why should we enter this cannibalistic palace, step on blood, and survive?

But she finally changed the way she asked the question.

A Bao was curious and murmured, "Mother, why did you enter the palace in the first place?"

Concubine Wen smoothed the messy hair on the cheeks of Abao in her arms. Her dim eyes seemed to show a sense of loss. She said, "It doesn't matter where you live your life. Now that you have entered the palace and married the most noble emperor, you should live a better life."

As she spoke, Concubine Wen sighed, "What I hope for day and night is to trick your father and make him pamper us."

Po was confused and puzzled.

Concubine Wen sighed heavily, "I have worked diligently in this palace, seeking your father's favor, just to give you a worry-free life."

Abao felt sad and grateful at once.

This Guanju Palace was indeed living a good life because of Concubine Wen.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs provided the mother and daughter with enough food, clothing, and daily necessities for the whole year, from silver, jewelry, silk, and cloth to vegetables, fruits, fish, meat, ice, and charcoal.

Compared to her aunt Princess Huimin and her generation, because their biological mothers lost in the harem concubines' struggle, they either married far away, shaved their heads and became nuns, or were given as gifts to the sons of meritorious officials...

She lived a comfortable life.

A Bao couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: "Mother, you are so amazing."

"But, mother, have you ever thought about becoming the queen?"

"Silly daughter." Concubine Wen looked at A Bao in her arms as if she were a little fool, "Being a queen is so tiring."

"Besides, I have plenty of self-knowledge."

"Your grandfather's family is just the dean of the Bailu Academy. This background is not enough to be the empress of Daqi."

"Just like you like Master Pei, but the Huainan Pei family is no longer worthy of you."

Concubine Wen wanted to take this opportunity to persuade Abao again, and it would be best if she didn't even give the position of concubine of the Eastern Palace to Pei Guichen, and just give up on taking Pei Guichen into the Eastern Palace.

But Po had other plans, and upon hearing this, he immediately changed the subject.

"Mother, I understand."

Concubine Wen was half-believing and half-doubting, "Do you really understand?"

"Seriously." A Bao said firmly, almost swearing.

Concubine Wen felt relieved, but she was curious. "Who do you want to choose? Mother heard that Yun Zheng was also there tonight to make trouble with you in Baiyujing?"

This reminder actually reminded Abao.

When arresting Xuanyuan Wu in Baiyujing tonight, there was also a person named Xiao Yunzheng present.

It's just her election list, why did Xiao Yunzheng come out to make trouble!

A Bao was depressed, but he still comforted Concubine Wen, "Anyway, don't worry, mother. The final red single candidate for this East Palace election will definitely satisfy you."
