Although the Queen Mother's health was much better, she could not help being tired, so after the palace banquet, she went back to Shoukang Palace to rest without even watching the fireworks.
"See your Majesty." She was about to take a rest when she heard Aunt Xue's voice.
In an emergency, Emperor Hongyuan, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, had already led Eunuch Liu in.
"You all should step aside. I have something to say and want to speak to the Queen Mother alone." Emperor Hongyuan ordered Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu quickly retreated with Aunt Xue and stood guard outside the palace.
After everyone retreated, the Queen Mother looked at Emperor Hongyuan calmly and said: "Your Majesty came to the Ai family late at night, presumably because of the eldest princess? Are you blaming the Ai family for taking matters into their own hands and letting her out of the palace?
?”
No one knows more about a son than a mother. The Empress Dowager guessed the central issue. Emperor Hongyuan did not mince words, "Mother, you know clearly that their siblings are a serious problem. Why did you let her out? It is best for the eldest princess to stay in the palace. It is best for me.
The country is also the best."
"Yao'er, are you afraid that the eldest princess will go out and join forces with Xuan Chen, which will threaten your country? But, doesn't this country originally belong to her family?" the Queen Mother said sadly.
When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, his body suddenly shook, "Even you said so, Queen Mother, have you always thought that I was the one who took away the emperor's kingdom? In your heart, have you always looked down on me?"
mark("zhong");
"The palms of your hands and the backs of your hands are all flesh. You are all meat from the Ai family. How can the Ai family look down on you?"
"No, you have looked down on me since you were a child. You have always favored the emperor's brother. You think he is better and more powerful than me. You and your father have always treated him as the eldest son of the emperor and the heir apparent. You have high hopes for him, but you have no regard for him at all.
The existence of my son, I have always been redundant in your heart, right?" Emperor Hongyuan said sadly.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she felt her heart pierce her heart. Her eyes were slightly red and she looked at him with tears in her eyes, "You are now a parent yourself. You are all children of the Ai family. How can the Ai family be partial? Chu State
A suitable king is needed to continue the Chu Kingdom. Your father and I feel that your eldest brother is qualified for the position of king, so we work hard to train him. This Tian family is different from ordinary families. If we don't train him well,
Crown Prince, what about the future of Chu State and its people?"
"Am I not excellent? Why can't you look at me more when you are working hard to train your eldest brother? Now the Chu State is prosperous in my hands, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. This is all due to me. In what way am I worse than your eldest brother?
?" Emperor Hongyuan's eyes were scarlet red, full of dissatisfaction and anger.
At the mention of her eldest son, the Queen Mother immediately closed her eyes, bursting into tears and filled with grief.
The current prosperity of the world was determined during the period of the eldest son. Emperor Hongyuan was just resting on his laurels.
Nowadays, under the leadership of Emperor Hongyuan, the Chu State has been declining day by day, but he is too stubborn to feel it.
But she, the queen mother, didn't dare to say it.
With tears in her eyes, she nodded, "Now that you are the Ninth Five Supreme Being, the entire Chu Kingdom belongs to you. It is in vain to say that. It's just that the Ai family did not expect that after so many years of mother-child love, you would actually feel that the Ai family is partial.
.You are two years younger than your eldest brother. Since you were a child, your health has not been as good as his. He has liked to take care of you since you were a child, hold you and take you to play around. He is the person who loves you the most in the world. I remember you were three years old.
That year, I got seriously ill and had a high fever all night long. Your elder brother was too anxious to sleep. He heard that putting ice on your forehead would reduce your fever. In the middle of winter, he quietly
He ran to the lake and wanted to smash a piece of ice to relieve your fever. But he accidentally fell in. Fortunately, a palace official passed by and rescued him. After he was rescued ashore, he also contracted the wind and cold and suffered from it for a long time.
