Father and Son Forbidden to Return the Pearl

In the evening, Chen Zhiqin sat in her room, sighing faintly.Thinking that the three of them were driven back to the room by their father just now, leaving Zhihua alone, a trace of jealousy surged up in their hearts uncontrollably.

Just because Zhihua is the child of Mrs. Zhengfang and her father's daughter-in-law, from childhood to adulthood, no matter the house she lives in, the husband she hires, or the maid she uses, she is better than the three sisters. He loves him much more than he loves the three sisters.

What's so great about being a prostitute?What's so great about being proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?It's not about sacrificing your life for your family!Chen Zhiqin gritted her teeth, thinking bitterly.But why would Daddy help Zhihua find a better home even if he sacrificed for the sake of the family?Elder Brother Twelve will most likely become a great treasure in the future. If Zhihua is really taken into the house by Elder Twelve, she will at least be a concubine in the future.

And what about their three sisters?In the future, he can only be the prince's side Fujin at most, no, it should mean that her two younger sisters may have this status, and she herself has not been found yet!She didn't believe that her father would give her to that careless fifth elder brother.

Chen Zhiqin subconsciously caressed her beloved Guqin, biting her pink lips lightly with her white teeth, and frowning slightly.

Although she was very jealous of her father's love and respect for Zhihua, Chen Zhiqin was very self-aware. She knew that if one of the four sisters could marry the prince, it would be a great honor for the Chen family.She didn't understand how everyone, whose father had been in the officialdom for decades, would still think of giving each of the four sisters to the four princes?This is simply a fantasy!Besides, that's the prince!It's not the Chinese cabbage that can be picked at random in the vegetable field.

Ever since she knew that the emperor was coming to their house, Chen Zhiqin felt that her father's mind seemed to have become a lot more confused...

"Sister, are you there?" A sweet and soft voice sounded softly through the wooden door.

"Zhihua?" Chen Zhiqin quickly got up and opened the door: "Aren't you in the front hall with daddy?" Although she was very jealous of daddy's love for Zhihua, she still didn't hate this little girl herself, she just talked about it. Not how much I like it.

"Ah, the banquet is over." Chen Zhihua said sullenly, there was no trace of joy in his tone, but aggrieved and unhappy.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Zhiqin looked at Chen Zhihua's sullen expression, and frowned imperceptibly.

"Eldest sister, go and tell daddy that he won't let me marry Elder Brother Twelve, okay?" Chen Zhihua grabbed Chen Zhiqin's sleeve violently, and said with a choked voice.

"How do you know that you are going to marry Elder Brother Twelve?" Chen Zhiqin looked strange, did the emperor order it?No way?Brother Twelve is only 11 years old!

"Dad said it. He said that he would send me to Brother Twelve first, and let me develop a relationship with him. Then, after two years, when Brother Twelve grows up, I can be his son." Fujin..." At the end of Chen Zhihua's speech, he finally couldn't help sobbing: "Eldest sister, go and talk to daddy! Brother Twelve is much younger than me, and, besides, the person I like is not he……"

"Then the emperor doesn't know what father's plan is?" Chen Zhiqin rolled her eyes inwardly when she saw Chen Zhihua's nodding, and said in a tone of impatience: "It's okay! You are better than Twelve Elder Brothers." You're so much older, and you're a Han girl, even if Dad thinks, the Emperor might not agree to let you follow Twelve Elder Brothers!"

"Why don't you agree?" Chen Zhihua looked at his sister like looking at a monster. She is so perfect and excellent. As long as he is a man, there is no one who doesn't like her. Let her make Fujin for Twelve Elder Brothers, Twelve Elder Brothers Definitely wish for it!Besides, what about Hannv?She is confident that her beauty and talent do not belong to those so-called Eight Banners noble ladies, and her family background is not bad!I'm afraid even the general Eight Banners relatives and nobles can't compare with it?

"Wait! You said...the person you like is not Elder Brother Twelve..." Chen Zhiqin ignored Chen Zhihua's narcissism, her eyes widened in surprise: "Do you have someone you like?"

Two red clouds instantly floated on Chen Zhihua's cheeks, which were so beautiful that she nodded shyly.

"Who is it?" Chen Zhiqin frowned, Zhihua didn't have many contacts with men, and she didn't know that she liked anyone before?

"Yes...it's the emperor!" Chen Zhihua summoned up his courage and said softly.

"The emperor?!" Chen Zhiqin gasped, staring at Chen Zhihua in disbelief: "Zhihua, do you know what you're talking about? That's the emperor!"

"Then, so what?" Chen Zhihua's beautiful eyes widened unconvinced: "I just like him!"

Chen Zhiqin sighed, sat down and rubbed his temples, and the face of the man with power over the world appeared in his mind.

Indeed, although the emperor is over forty years old, he is no more than 30 years old in appearance. With his unparalleled handsome appearance, coupled with the majesty and dignity accumulated over the years of his career as an emperor, he is more important than the younger princes. Much more attractive.A little girl like Zhihua, who is protected by her father and aunt and is not familiar with worldly affairs, is indeed easily attracted to that kind of man, and thus falls in love with him.

but……

Chen Zhiqin raised her head, her clear and beautiful face became slightly more serious: "Zhihua, listen to me, hurry up and get rid of your unrealistic fantasies, Your Majesty, you can't like it!"

"Why can't I like it?" Chen Zhihua was upset.

"Okay, even if you like the emperor, what are you going to do? Do you want to follow the emperor into the palace? Or do you want to stay in Haining and never marry?" Chen Zhiqin's eyes flickered with boredom.

"Of course I'm going to enter the palace with the emperor!" Chen Zhihua raised his head proudly.

"Enter the palace?" Chen Zhiqin snorted coldly: "Zhihua, that's the palace! Is that something you can enter if you want? Also, if you like the emperor, does the emperor like you?"

"The emperor is so gentle to me today, he must like me!" Chen Zhihua nodded without hesitation, and successfully made Chen Zhiqin's face darken again.

"Zhihua, the emperor is old enough to be your father..."

"Big sister! True love knows no age!" Before Chen Zhiqin could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Chen Zhihua unhappily.

Chen Zhiqin twitched the corners of her mouth, and closed her eyes fiercely.True love knows no age?Although this is true, the problem is that it is not yet determined whether the emperor likes you or not!It's you who is here alone in unrequited love, okay?

Here, Chen Zhiqin is trying hard to persuade Chen Zhihua to give up the idea of ​​liking the emperor and becoming a concubine in the palace. Over there, Qianlong is holding Yongzheng in his arms, approving memorials, and taking the opportunity to eat tofu on Yongzheng.

Yongzhen's face was covered with black lines, his body was sitting stiffly in Qianlong's arms, the corners of his mouth were twitching non-stop.

As soon as the dinner was over, Huang Ama said that she had something to discuss with him, and then brought him here.But after coming over, Empress Ama just held him in her arms and sat without saying a word—what the hell is going on?

"Huang Ama, you are...unbelievable." Yongzhen took a deep breath and said in a low voice, with a hint of ominous premonition in his heart—could it be that Huang Ama has returned to the time when he used to take a breath from time to time ?

"There are only you and me here, what's wrong with the rules?" Qianlong carefully reviewed the memorial, while talking to Yongzhen with one heart and one mind: "Besides, you are my son, why should I hug my own son?" gone?"

Qianlong shamelessly automatically blocked the Manchu rule of having grandchildren but not sons.

Yong Xin's body became even stiffer, and there was a look of dumbfounding and doubt in his eyes.He found that although he felt very helpless now, he didn't dislike Huang Ama's embrace, and even faintly... liked it?

Seeing that Yongzheng stopped talking, Qianlong quietly raised his head and glanced at his delicate side face, his thin lips slightly raised, evoking a sly arc.

When Chen Zhiqin saw that Zhihua would not listen to her advice at all, and acted like the emperor would like her, she couldn't help being furious, and her tone became cold and hard: "Zhihua, do you know that the emperor is now three thousand in the harem, even if you really can If you enter the palace with the emperor, there will be no room for you in the palace!"

Zhi Hua snorted coldly: "Sister, don't forget that Concubine Dong E of Lord Shunzhi was still Prince He Shuoxiang's Fujin! She could sit on the throne of imperial concubine as a woman, and she was the only one to be favored. How am I not as good as her? Even if I am a Han Chinese, I am still better than a married Manchurian woman, right?"

"You really can't compare to Concubine Dong E." Chen Zhiqin's face turned completely cold: "But what do you think made Concubine Dong E ascend the throne of imperial concubine as a woman? It was not because of Emperor Shunzhi's affection for her." Is it? If Emperor Shunzhi didn't have the slightest affection for Concubine Dong E, then even if she is so beautiful, even if she is amazingly talented, let alone ascend to the throne of imperial concubine, even if she agrees, she will never be able to do so!"

Zhihua bit her lip and said nothing for a long time before she stubbornly raised her head: "Sister, no matter what you say, I just like the emperor! I know that I may not be able to become the second concubine Dong E, but as long as I can get along with the emperor Gong, if I can see him every day, I will be satisfied!" After speaking, he ran out quickly regardless of Chen Zhiqin's obstruction.

Chen Zhiqin fell on the bed slumped, with a wry smile on the corner of her mouth.Silly sister, do you think you can see the emperor after entering the palace?From ancient times to the present, how many women in the harem never saw the emperor until they died of old age!

Zhi Hua returned to the room in a rage, and lay down on the bed a little depressed.She didn't understand why the eldest sister, who was always gentle and amiable, would say such harsh words to her.

She knew that the reason why her father wanted to give her to the twelfth elder brother was to prevent the decline of the main line of the Chen family.But, if this is the case, why didn't daddy give her to the emperor?

The emperor is so majestic, so handsome, and so charming. Although he is not as beautiful as the twelve princes, he is more masculine!The age is also more suitable for her than Elder Brother Twelve.Moreover, that is the emperor!

There is an excellent fifth elder brother competing with him, even if the twelfth elder brother is the legitimate son, he may not necessarily ascend to the throne, right?According to her opinion, it is more likely that the fifth elder brother will ascend to the throne in the future.

The emperor was so gentle to her at the dinner table, she seemed to be able to see his love and affection for her from the emperor's gentle eyes, she was confident that if she could enter the palace with the emperor, even if she was not as beautiful as the former imperial concubine Dong E , but a concubine is definitely indispensable.Moreover, the emperor is now at the peak of his age, so it seems that it will not be a problem to live another 30 or [-] years.If she can give birth to a prince in the past few years, then with the emperor's love for her, her son is very likely to be the next emperor...

The more Zhihua thinks about it, the more beautiful she seems to be. She seems to have seen herself wearing luxurious palace clothes and living in a beautiful palace. The emperor loves her so much, and her son has been appointed by the emperor as the heir to the throne... Imagining a bright future , Zhihua couldn't help laughing softly.Although when she came back to her senses, she realized that it was just her own imagination, but it strengthened her idea of ​​wanting to enter the palace with the emperor.

Haining is not big, and there are almost no wealthy families. The Chen family is the well-deserved No. [-] family in Haining, and Zhihua is a treasure that has been cherished by the head of the Chen family for more than ten years.In Haining, no one can compare to Zhihua, everyone is respectful and flattering to her, which leads to her self-righteous, proud and complacent character.Although this kind of character is not obvious in normal times, it is fully revealed when encountering major events.

A 15-year-old girl who was raised in a deep boudoir, ignorant of the dangers of the world and the bitterness of life, took it for granted that everyone should like her and fall in love with her.This kind of character, not only in the palace, but also in the backyard of ordinary families, almost always ends in tragedy.
