After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law
Chapter 238: Lure the snake out of its hole (Part )
Lin Luoling knew that Emperor Deshun said and did this, ostensibly to reprimand and punish her, but in fact to protect her.
With Emperor Deshun's decree, even if the Empress wanted to leave Jingshou Palace again in the future, she would need Emperor Deshun's permission.
Lin Luoling had just pretended to have palpitations. She rubbed her chest and bowed to Emperor Deshun, saying, "As ordered, I will copy the "Female Virtues" with all my heart and teach Aunt Xi the rules carefully."
Emperor Deshun waved his hand, and Yunxi held the brocade box in front of Emperor Deshun. After Emperor Deshun took it, Yunxi took Lin Luoling away.
Along the way, Yun Xi did not say a word and did not take Lin Luoling to the Shangjiao Division. Instead, he asked the eunuch following him to go to the Shangjiao Division and summon Manager Liu to Jingshou Palace to teach Lin Luoling the rules.
After entering Jingshou Palace, Yun Xi lowered his voice and said, "Princess An should go to Jingtai Pavilion. Manager Liu is one of us. She will find a place to copy "Female Virtues" for Princess An when she comes here."
After Lin Luoling and Yun Xi expressed their gratitude, Yun Xi called a palace maid from Jingshou Palace and took Lin Luoling to Jingtai Pavilion.
The 'fake Prince An' was lying on the small couch in Jingtai Pavilion. He opened his eyes and saw that Lin Luoling was safe and sound. He breathed a long sigh of relief, then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Lin Luoling had nothing to do in the hall, so he took an ancient book from the bookcase and began to read it.
After Lin Luoling left, Emperor Deshun solemnly dismissed the eunuchs and palace maids in Chenxi Palace. Even the housekeepers Zhuang Ning and Aunt Wei retreated in fright under Emperor Deshun's cold gaze.
With no outsiders around, Emperor Deshun's face darkened, and he glared at Prince Jin and said, "Princess An was here just now, and I was concerned about your face, so I didn't get angry right away. You are the eldest son of this dynasty, and I have always placed high hopes on you. I didn't expect that you would focus all your attention on vying for favor and harem disputes. How could you have the demeanor and bearing of an eldest son?"
Emperor Deshun seldom reprimanded Prince Jin and Prince Rui. More often he used "fake favor" to make Prince Jin and Prince Rui jealous and fight against each other openly and secretly, in order to check and balance the two of them in the previous dynasty, and even won favor by making military exploits in fighting against enemies in the north and south.
When Concubine Chen saw this, her heart tightened. She was selected from Yuzhou Zhili Women's College and brought to Beijing. After training, she was given to Emperor Deshun, who was not yet an adult at the time, as one of the women who had just begun to understand sexual intercourse between men and women. And she happened to be serving Emperor Deshun on his first night.
Although she was not as beautiful as Concubine Li, she looked very pitiful when she was young. Before Emperor Deshun married a princess, she was very favored among the women serving Emperor Deshun.
Emperor Deshun was a shrewd and thoughtful emperor. After all, Concubine Chen had accompanied him for so many years. Compared with other concubines, she understood Emperor Deshun's temperament better and knew the seriousness of his words.
Immediately, Concubine Chen wept and said, "It's all because I didn't care enough about Prince Jin. It's all my fault."
"Hmph!" Emperor Deshun glanced at Prince Jin coldly, causing Prince Jin to break out in a cold sweat on the back of his neck.
"You are still kneeling in the yard without getting up. Aren't you ashamed?" Emperor Deshun ignored Concubine Chen and walked into the palace.
Concubine Chen and Prince Jin looked at each other and entered the hall. Concubine Chen personally poured tea for Emperor Deshun. Prince Jin lowered his head, not daring to breathe, and from the corner of his eyes he occasionally glanced at Emperor Deshun's expression.
Emperor Deshun pushed away Concubine Chen's hand offering tea, handed the brocade box in front of Concubine Chen and said, "Recently, there have been frequent disturbances in the northern border, and Prince An misunderstood my intentions and held a private wedding in Xuzhou, Beijing, which gave me a headache.
I thought you and your son understood me the most, and Chenxi Palace was a place where I could hide in peace, but I didn't expect you and your son to be so troublesome, and I was blinded by it and took away the things you have been thinking about for a long time."
Concubine Chen was slightly startled. Emperor Deshun opened the brocade box. When Concubine Chen saw it, her eyes immediately became as bright as the sun. She had always remembered that Emperor Deshun had said that this set of colored glaze cups was to be awarded to the future crown prince.
So... Emperor Deshun came here just now to give this thing as a reward to Prince Jin?
In other words, Emperor Deshun had already decided on the candidate for crown prince, and that was her son, Prince Jin?
How could this calm Concubine Chen? She was overjoyed, but she also felt that she had deliberately set up a trap for Lin Luoling so that Emperor Deshun could see it. She also heard Prince Jin complaining about it, and she was afraid that Emperor Deshun would take back the glass cups.
Therefore, Concubine Chen's face instantly turned cold, she turned around and walked to the front of Prince Jin, waved her hand and gave Prince Jin a loud slap in the face, and scolded:
"Your father has devoted all his efforts to you. How did I teach you?
So that you can always remember the kindness of your parents, be humble and help each other with your brothers and sisters, and the books on benevolence, righteousness and morality have been taught to you by the Taifu since you were young.
I know you care about me, but you shouldn't be so reckless and lose your sense of propriety just because I am wronged. You really deserve to be beaten!"
Ever since Prince Jin could remember, although Concubine Chen had scolded him, she seldom beat him, especially when she beat him in front of Emperor Deshun without consulting him. Not only did half of his face hurt, but he also felt humiliated. He gritted his teeth and was about to ask a question.
Then he saw Concubine Chen constantly giving him looks.
Only then did Prince Jin realize that the set of glass cups in Emperor Deshun's hands was extremely important.
With a "thump", the Prince of Jin knelt on the ground and said sincerely, "My son knows his mistake and will never make it again. I will remember what my mother said and be diligent and filial to my grandmother, father and mother. I will also treat my younger brother and sister kindly and be a good elder brother to them."
A cold arc flashed across Emperor Deshun's lips, and he waved his hand and said, "Forget it! Stand up! This set of colored glaze cups is what I am going to give to the future crown prince, but..."
After a pause, Emperor Deshun said sternly, "Your behavior and words today were not steady enough, which disappointed me."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Chen's eyes became anxious, and then she heard Emperor Deshun say:
"Now that you have it, you can keep this set of colored glaze cups in your mother's palace for now. Tomorrow you will gather 30,000 soldiers and march out to the northern border. When you return victorious, I will personally give you this set of colored glaze cups.
In this battle, you must do your best to silence those officials in the court who oppose you becoming the crown prince."
Upon hearing this, King Jin suddenly raised his head, very shocked and very excited...
He understood that if he could win a complete victory and return triumphantly, that would be the day when Emperor Deshun would make him the crown prince.
He is finally going to be the crown prince!
Concubine Chen was also extremely happy. She knelt on the ground with her hands raised above her head, took the glass cup given to her by Emperor Deshun, and cried with joy:
"Your Majesty thinks so highly of Lu'er. It is a blessing for us mother and son."
Emperor Deshun helped Concubine Chen to stand up and said, "You have accompanied me for many years. I know how difficult it has been for you. Concubine Li died early, and Prince An has been motherless since childhood and has been bedridden for many years. You and Prince Jin should understand my guilt towards Concubine Li and Prince An.
Today, the imperial physician examined Prince An's pulse and reported to me that he has at most three to five months to live. Whenever I think of Prince An's imminent death, I feel very sad that an old man will have to send off a young man. "
Emperor Deshun patted Concubine Chen's hand and said, "It's rare for Prince An to return to the capital. He only has a few days left. Let me have a few months of peace and enjoy the kindness of a father and the filial piety of a son. You should also stay by my side to share my worries."
Concubine Chen, who had received the colored glass cup, naturally listened to whatever Emperor Deshun said. She nodded repeatedly and said, "It should be so. I will personally arrange the marriage of Prince An and Princess An in the next few days. Sigh..."
She sighed, "Prince An is such a miserable child. It would be great if he had a healthy body. He and Prince Jin have been good friends since childhood, and he will be able to assist Prince Jin in the future. Your Majesty and I will be very pleased to see this."
Emperor Deshun stood up and walked to the side of Prince Jin, patting him on the shoulder. "Don't stand around in Chenxi Palace anymore. Why don't you hurry up and prepare for tomorrow's expedition to the northern border? I should also go back to Zhengde Hall to review memorials."
"Yes! I will keep your words in mind." Prince Jin bowed his head.
After leaving Chenxi Palace, Emperor Deshun's face suddenly changed. The only way to lure out the snake out of its hole was to send Prince Jin away and let him go to the northern border to fight the enemy, and then let Concubine Chen spread the word that he intended to make Prince Jin the crown prince.
