The step-brother is charming and soft, and the Marquis can't help but flirt with her

The maid exclaimed: "Princess, are you okay?"

She looked Rong Zhao up and down carefully.

Rong Zhao waved his hand, "I'm fine."

She suppressed her anger and brushed away the palace maid's hand and walked into the study. The prince hurriedly greeted her, "Are you okay? Tell me, why are you here at this time?"

"Oh, is it my fault?" Rong Zhao laughed angrily, "Do I still have to apologize to His Highness the Crown Prince?"

The prince frowned, "Why are you talking to your brother?"

"You still know you are the elder brother?" Rong Zhao suddenly shouted angrily: "I thought the prince had been in office for a long time and had forgotten who he was."

"What do you mean?" The prince's face didn't look good, and he said coldly: "Gu said that Gu didn't mean it, and you are angry with Gu for this trivial matter? Rong Zhao, don't forget Gu's identity. I am the prince!"

"Oh, Prince?"

Rong Zhao sneered and turned to look at the people guarding the door. No one dared to look at her and they all lowered their heads.

"You still know that you are the prince? Why didn't you think that you were the prince when you attacked Shen Cairen? Why didn't you think that you were the prince when you suppressed Brother Seventh behind his back?"

Rong Zhao usually tolerated him a lot, but now he didn't want to give him any face, so he only poked at his painful spots, making the prince's face turn blue and white.

"Sometimes I really wonder if you are the queen's son. Otherwise, how could a father and a mother give birth to such a misfit like you?"

"What did you say? Say it again!" The prince became furious and swung his arms.

Rong Zhao grabbed his wrist, raised his face and looked at him proudly, "You still want to hit me? Prince, are you crazy?"

"Okay." She threw away the prince's hand and sneered: "You go ahead and fight me. I walked out of this door today, and you can't even think of leaving the East Palace again tomorrow!"

"You threaten Gu? Rong Zhao! Do you think Gu can't do anything to you? Who do you think you are?"

The prince's veins were beating with anger and he almost fainted.

Rong Zhao looked at him with red eyes, "I am the only princess born to my father, the emperor, and my mother. I am born with a golden branch and jade leaves. I have read poetry and books since I was a child, and I am proficient in the art of controlling people. I am no worse than you in every way! In order to stabilize your position, I Over the years, I’ve done a lot of building connections for you, cleaned up your messes, and spoken for you in front of my father. Otherwise, do you think you can safely be the crown prince for so many years?”

"How much effort have I, Seventh Brother, and the Queen Mother put in for you? But what about you? What have you done? You are sensitive, suspicious, willful, do things regardless of the consequences, and only care about your prince's face!"

The more Rong Zhao talked, the more disappointed he became, and suddenly he lost the energy to argue, "That's all, you can do whatever you want, and I can't control you forever."

Before the prince could speak, she took a deep breath, blinked hard, raised her chin and walked out.

The prince gasped and stared at her, and when he saw her walking away, he punched the table hard.

One or two of them are reversed!

There was a turmoil in the East Palace, but things were quiet in Chunhua Palace.

Emperor Hui'an and the imperial concubine chatted and served some wine. While eating and drinking, they recalled the past.

When people reach a certain age, they become nostalgic and miss the old days.

Emperor Hui'an was no exception. He drank too much thinking about it, his eyes were blurred, but there was a faint smile on his face.

The imperial concubine also accompanied him, but she drank less and was mainly responsible for listening.

"The prince now has children, and the fifth son's marriage must be arranged as soon as possible. He is no longer young. It's time."

The imperial concubine's heart moved and she sighed: "It's not easy for the crown prince and the crown princess. They have been together for so many years."

"Yes." Emperor Hui'an took another sip of wine and slowly exhaled: "This is my first grandchild. Regardless of male or female, I will reward you heavily."

He laughed, and the imperial concubine also laughed, "Boys and girls are fine. With a grandfather like your majesty here, the children will definitely be good." Hearing the implication of her words, Emperor Hui'an pointed at her and laughed, "You - —”

The imperial concubine poured him wine and said softly: "We are not talking about kissing each other in another generation. It is a good thing for children to look like your Majesty. Among the prince's generation, the child who looks most like your majesty should be Rong Zhao."

Emperor Hui'an was startled and said in a daze: "Yes, that child Rong Zhao values ​​​​love and righteousness. He can handle things clearly and knows how to advance and retreat. I like him best. It's a pity that he is a princess."

Concubine: "..."

Fortunately she is a princess, otherwise what would happen?

She filled it up for herself and took a sip.

Emperor Hui'an didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly said: "I have a bunch of sons, but few of them are promising. It's not as good as Rong Guogong, who gave birth to three children, all of whom are reliable."

The imperial concubine's eyelids twitched, three children?

Three sons, right?

She nodded in agreement: "The three sons of Duke Rong Guo do have their own merits. It's a pity that there is a wife who can't handle it, so Marquis Mingying is separated from them."

"Hey - that's not right." Emperor Hui'an shook his head, "Otherwise Marquis Mingying and her wouldn't be of the same mind."

"Why? Didn't you have a good time when you were a child? If you hadn't married this new lady -"

"It has nothing to do with her!" Emperor Hui'an sighed: "If you are not your biological child, how can you have the same heart? Even your biological child may not be able to follow her in everything..."

The imperial concubine could no longer hear clearly. She only heard the words "not her biological child."

Who gave birth to the child who was not his biological child?

Her heart suddenly sank, and she asked tentatively: "Not her biological child? But Mrs. Rongguo was indeed pregnant at the time. The time was right, and I and the Queen even sent her supplements."

"Different."

Emperor Hui'an said vaguely: "It happened to be Lu..."

When he said this, he suddenly paused, and a moment of clarity flashed in his eyes.

It was like being sober all of a sudden.

The imperial concubine noticed it and wisely did not ask any more questions. She only said: "Your Majesty is drunk. Please stop drinking. I will ask someone to cook some sobering soup."

"Yes." Emperor Hui'an pressed his temple and said, "Go ahead."

The imperial concubine went out and called her confidant, asking her to send a message to the fifth prince quickly.

She had a guess in her mind that needed to be verified.

If it were what she thought, things would be in trouble.

After receiving the news, the fifth prince immediately sent someone to investigate. Emperor Hui'an was staying in the imperial concubine's palace. He was unable to find out immediately. He tossed and turned all night, and went into the palace at dawn the next morning to pay his respects to Emperor Hui'an.

Emperor Hui'an stayed with him for dinner, and the relationship between father and son returned to normal.

After finishing the meal, the fifth prince wanted to say hello to the concubine on the pretext that he had not seen her for a long time, but Emperor Hui'an agreed with a wave of his hand.

The fifth prince went to Chunhua Palace as expected.

As soon as he entered, the imperial concubine turned away the others and asked Pearl and Yingluo to guard the door, and no one was allowed in.

The fifth prince was so worried that he didn't bother to salute and asked directly: "Mother, concubine, what do you mean when you say Lu Xingyue has problems with his life experience? What do you mean, Xu Hui threatens us?" (End of Chapter)
