He knew something had happened but was unable to recover from the depression that had weighed heavily on his heart these past few days. He sat down on the railing of the study room on the second floor. He wanted to take advantage of the cool autumn breeze to blow away his unhappiness and have a good meal. , he happened to see Li Huanzhi sitting in the study room across the courtyard having a meal, with a hint of joking in his silly eyes, which made him even more unable to eat, and made his whole person even worse.

The two span courtyards were deliberately built to look the same, corresponding to the dragon and tiger. According to the design of the waterside corridor between them, it was originally meant to support each other between brothers...

Now I have nothing but hatred for him!

In particular, Mrs. Hou kept whispering in his ears for three days, how difficult it was for Li Ze to be sent to Zhiyun Island and come back with such serious injuries. He hoped that he would take good care of him with kind thoughts, just like he is now here again. During meal time, he came to his side and whispered instructions.

"Ze'er no longer has the capital to compete with you for the throne of the heir apparent." Madam Hou sat at the opposite table and choked up several times. She wiped her tears and said half-begging, "Huan'er, after Ze'er I'm counting on you."

She has gray and black dyed green silk on her temples, and a gorgeous gold and silver hairpin. Her soft and plump face makes it easy to understand that she has lived an extremely wealthy life in these years. The brocade-cut skirt and sleeves are decorated with gold and silver embroidery threads. The words "Fu Shou" are looming, and even the embroidered shoes on the feet are extremely extravagant and cannot be ignored.

"Mother, I know everything you said about your son." Li Ze patiently did not dare to be disobedient. How should he allocate the care and love he had never received in his life to Li Huanzhi?

Listening to his mother's unstoppable murmur, Li Ze's head really hurt. He raised his eyes again and looked back at the Erlunzi who was walking happily across the courtyard. His mind felt as if he was sinking into the icy cold at the bottom of the valley. He also wondered why that girl gave Li Huanzhi to Li Huanzhi. Send it back to the Hou Mansion?

Is it really just to spite him?

According to what I know about the girl from the Pei family, it is absolutely impossible for her to do anything that does not have many benefits. What is her intention this time?

There were tears in the corners of Mrs. Hou's eyes, and she asked uncertainly: "Seriously?"

The Gonghou family closed its doors just because of the struggle for power and profit. They did not hesitate to send the twins away because they were worried about this matter. They also thought about sending the children back to Zhiyun Island. In addition to having a proper upbringing by their mother, they would also When my son grows up, he can also use the power of the island in a timely manner. Who would have expected that the child will eventually come back to you...

"Why is mother still worried about me?" Li Ze's thin lips curved in a calm arc, and he said gently, "Because of the sudden return of the third brother to Beiyong, the eldest sister knelt at the door of Chengfeng Hall for several days but still did not get the Holy Lord. Summoned, I think the Holy Spirit is interested in this matter. Mother should take some time to visit the eldest sister in the palace! I'm afraid she will burst into tears."

Mrs. Hou was slightly startled, yes! She actually forgot about this!

All these years my daughter has been safe and contented just to wait until the third prince grows up. If she is asked about her past crimes at this time, all the plans she has made these years will be ruined...

She was about to receive glory and wealth, how could she not be moved?

If the third prince can successfully become the crown prince, why would he need Emperor Yongde in front of him?

How long can an emperor who relies on great luck continue to thrive?

Although Ze'er was stupid, the person who originally planned to put him on the throne is still in front of him!

It is true that the daughter is being bullied by the emperor and the empress now, but when her grandson ascends to the throne in the future, what can the empress do on her own? Shouldn't the harem let her daughter make the decision?

Mrs. Hou's originally tearful eyes quickly changed, and her aura returned to the arrogance that was in her blood. She frowned heavily and said to her son: "Your eldest sister is a smart person, she knows what to do, help her well." Arranging things outside the palace is the greatest help."

"My son knows." Li Ze has finally seen his mother's mentality clearly these days. He feeds each child's mouth with sugar-coated sugar-coating that focuses on the overall situation, hoping to resolve the disappointment of not being able to be the person beside the old emperor many years ago. .

Sending her daughter to the palace as a concubine as she wished was not enough to appease her extravagant thoughts, because Concubine Shu could never enter Emperor Yongde's heart. Even when Empress Xiao Li later became his successor, she scolded her daughter severely.

At first, she only wanted to marry the royal family, but she eventually married into the noble house of Zhongyong Marquis and became the noble wife, just because the title of madam can comfort her regret of not being able to become a palace concubine.

Standing up and watching his mother leave, Li Ze felt an indescribable sourness in his heart.

Unexpectedly, he still retains a trace of fantasy in his heart, whether his mother can recognize him...

…

Chengfeng Hall

After the autumnal equinox, the evening breeze brings a strong sense of autumn. This year's autumn frost comes extremely early. Several green plants outside the corridor outside the hall are already covered with rime after nightfall.

Not afraid of the cold, Concubine Li Shu wrapped herself in thin pajamas and knelt on the brick path outside the temple. From time to time she weakly called to the Holy Father, hoping to win some sympathy but to no avail.

After spending more than twenty years leisurely in the palace, how long had she ended up like this?

However, in just a few days, the originally graceful and attractive plump figure has become emaciated, and the lips that have not drank water for a long time have also been peeled off. How can they still have that noble bearing?

However, the people in the palace did not pay attention to her at all. They closed the palace door tightly. Everyone, young and old, passed the time with a hand of leaf cards. If they lost the card, they would take turns flicking their foreheads. Even Emperor Yongde's forehead was also touched. There were red marks, not to mention the few old friends who played with her, Yan Jue didn't escape either!

It completely shows that there is no way for people to survive in the world without being stabbed. In the end, who cares about who is kneeling outside, grabbing the leaf cards, and trying to kill people on the battlefield with red eyes...

However, the later the day got, the colder the wind became, so Li Ying finally did not make up her mind. She tilted her head and asked Li Chun to bring a few words with her and prepare a fox-fur cloak for Concubine Li Shu.

"Tsk, tsk, after all, it was you who relented first!" Yan Sheng kept shaking his head, not forgetting to throw down another card in his hand, and took the opportunity again.

"She can't die in front of my palace because she doesn't have a clear mind, right?" Li Ying glanced at her son angrily, and she was so angry that she wanted to beat him up, "The person who deserves to speak out the most cannot speak out, but she insists on doing so. You blame me for everything? Do you still understand filial piety?"

I couldn't find a reason to repair my son, so I could only use the leaf cards to repair him a few more times. Otherwise, who should I turn to for the anger of being kneeled and crying for days and nights at the entrance of the palace?

After all, Concubine Li Shu is also a very considerate person. Otherwise, how could she have stayed quiet in this palace for so many years?

The apology also ensured that Emperor Yongde would not pursue the matter of the twins any further, and was simply here to annoy her as the queen!

"If you don't understand filial piety, why would you come to accompany your mother?" Emperor Yongde smiled so politely that he pointed to his forehead and said, "Isn't this a chance for my mother to vent?"

Li Ying's mouth twitched when she saw it. Indeed, the others spared him out of dignity, but it was not as if every blow to her was genuine pain.
