"Are you right? Do you know what your father said just now? He said that when he returns in triumph, it will be the time when the crown prince is appointed. Mom has worked hard to protect you and grow up for so many years. What are you waiting for?
?Isn’t it today? And you’d better..."
"Mom, why do we have to fight for the position of prince? We can have enough food and clothing, so why should we fight for fame and fortune? Is it possible that if we can't become the prince, my father will bear to let us starve to death?"
"Jie'er, you are too naive. If Nangong Ao becomes the prince and becomes the emperor in the future, he will definitely kill us. Your existence has become a potential threat to him. Do you understand?
?”
"Mother, I..." Nangong Jie suddenly showed a happy smile, walked over and gently hugged Concubine Ping into his arms, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, mother, Jie'er promises you, as long as Jie is with you,
As long as my son is here, he won’t let anyone hurt my mother, so don’t worry, mother.”
After Nangong Jie finished speaking, he sat Concubine Ping on the chair, then walked around and gently kneaded her shoulders and said: "Mom, does this feel more comfortable? Don't worry, mom, it's okay, God won't let it happen like this.
Collapse."
"Well..." Concubine Ping had tears in her eyes and nodded without saying anything. She fully enjoyed her son's massage and relaxed herself. She had relied on her son to turn herself around in her life, so she would usually raise her hands to agree with anything her son said.
.
But this time... "Oh... Jie'er, can you promise mother something?"
"Just tell me, mother, let alone one piece, even a hundred pieces, Jie'er will promise you." Nangong Jie said with a smile while squeezing his mother's shoulders.
Concubine Ping sighed: "Jie'er, mother knows that you have good qualifications. I wanted you to study hard and achieve great success in the future, but I don't see any fighting spirit in you. Oh, forget it, mother won't force you.
Well, fortunately, you are more filial, which is more gratifying to my mother. Jie'er, you have to promise your mother that if you encounter danger in the future, you must save your life and don't drag yourself down because of your mother."
"Mom, what you said is fine, how can something happen?" Nangong Jie still had a calm face, with a faint smile when he spoke.
"Hey, Jie'er, why do you always make my mother feel worried? You don't know the dangers in this harem. If you are not careful, you will be doomed."
"Mom, are you talking about Concubine Yan and my second brother? Aren't they very nice to us?"
"Okay? You really are... forget it, I can't tell you clearly. In short, please be more careful in the future. Mom is tired and will go back to the palace to rest first."
"Mom, I'll give it to you."
"No, you should read more useful books when you have time. Don't just spend the whole day thinking about reading useless things."
"I understand, mother, don't worry."
After his mother left, Nangong Jie sighed softly, shook his head and returned to the room. He picked up a chicken feather dart on the table and threw it at the round wooden target on the wall. With a "click", it hit the bullseye.
.
Just as anxious as Concubine Ping was Concubine Yan.
However, after hearing what his mother said, Nangong Ao, the son of Concubine Yan, disagreed and said, "Mom, don't worry, my fifth brother is a born idiot who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. How can he dare to compete with me?"
This position of prince?"
"Son, it's better to be cautious in everything. Although your father has always valued your talents, people should not be judged by their appearance. It's hard to say what tricks that Nangong Jie will suddenly use to catch us two by surprise."
"Mother, you are worrying too much. Fifth brother is no match. Besides, mother, you are Situ Yan. Don't forget that we also have an uncle, Situ Nan, who is working as a celebrity beside our father. With him here, what should we be afraid of?
?”
While the mother and son were talking, a eunuch hurriedly came to report: "Second Prince, the boss of Yingchun Tower sent someone to report that the catkin... is three months pregnant."
Concubine Yan raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily: "How dare you! Who is Liuxu? What does her pregnancy have to do with my son?"
"Haha, mother, calm down. Mother, you are also tired. There are some things that you don't need to worry about. You should go back to Yanming Palace to rest. Someone, come and take Concubine Yan back to rest."
"Yes, Second Prince." The two palace ladies quickly came over to support Concubine Yan.
Concubine Yan knew that there were some things she was embarrassed to ask about, so she had no choice but to obey Nangong Ao's arrangement and left Prince Ao's palace.
