The Job of an Imperial Concubine

Feng Qi was only six years old when he was crowned prince. He had two brothers who were still alive, but he became the prince.

He always heard others say that how much the concubine was favored by the father and emperor, how much he valued by the father and emperor, he did not pay attention to these words, the only thing he remembered was what the concubine said when he became the prince.

The concubine said that you are a prince now, but remember to be a son.

When he was young, he thought that the concubine was telling him to be filial, but later he realized that the concubine was reminding him how to be a prince.

The concubine never asked him what he had to do, but asked him what he wanted to do. In his childhood, he was not as stressful as others thought, but he was very happy.

The father emperor once said that he owns what he does not have.He still didn't understand this. The father and emperor always said something deep, but it was very good to him.

In the year of the Empress Dowager, he was only seven years old. The Empress was very indifferent to the mother-in-law, but it was not bad for him. On the day of her burial, he found that there was a sadness on his face that he did not understand. Later he Ask the concubine, the concubine said she did not understand.

The year the mother concubine was seriously ill, he understood for the first time what was sad.He heard the palace attendants say that without the concubine, the emperor would treat him cold, and without the concubine, he would be framed by other concubines.In fact, he is not afraid of this, because the concubine once said that in the face of difficulties, the truly capable people should do how to solve things, rather than worry about how others will treat themselves.

But he was afraid that the concubine would leave. He liked the concubine to change the pattern for him to eat, like the concubine telling him a small story, like the concubine teaching him to write, and the gentle appearance of the concubine when he asked him to bun.The emperor has many concubines, but he only has a mother.

The day the mother princess woke up, he seemed to see that the father emperor had red eyes, but then he thought that a man like the father emperor would have red eyes.

There are many women in the harem. Sometimes he hears that the father emperor went to other women. At this time, he loves to find his mother concubine to tell him stories. The stories that the mother concubine tells are very novel and very interesting.The expression of the concubine was also very gentle, as if not sad because the father and emperor were not there.

"Concubine, today Taifu told her son the mean, and the son felt that the middle way is not suitable for children. I am a prince. If I still keep the middle way, what can I do?" After he said this, he found The concubine's expression was strange, as if remembering something.

"The Four Books and Five Classics just let you understand some of the truths in the book, but you should think about how to do it." The hand of the concubine touching his head is very warm. "As long as you want to understand whether it is beneficial and suitable to do this. The current environment."

He nodded obediently, "Is this just thinking and doing what you want?"

Then he saw the concubine's smile, and suddenly felt that he had the momentum to continue to study hard. How could he bear the disappointment of the concubine?

After he was six years old, there were more teachers, but he didn’t think how difficult these books were, and he didn’t understand why those teachers always told their father and emperor that they were talented, and there were some stories in these books that were very easy to understand. I just explained it very deeply.

One day in the winter of the nineteenth year of Chengxuan, his eldest brother was ruled out of the palace as the Pingwang. The eldest brother was eight years older than him. I heard that the birth mother was a little concubine, and she disappeared early. Later, she raised a few beside the concubine In 1 year, he lived alone in the palace. Three years ago, when the concubine Xian went there, the older brother became silent.

He was not familiar with his elder brother, but he still took a horse-drawn carriage to join the bustle in his elder brother Jianfu.

Although the eldest brother is a king of peace, he has no title and no soldiers.After he presented the gift, the eldest brother said something suddenly.

"Sometimes my elder brother really envy His Royal Highness."

Although he was only nine years old, he also understood the meaning of his eldest brother. As the only prince with a concubine, he was the crown prince and the crown prince of a country, and the eldest brother was just a powerless prince with the title "ping".

"Do you know where your second brother is?" Ping Wang looked at him with a smile, the smile was calm but cold, "He is fifteen this year, but he still lives in the palace in the suburbs of Beijing."

Feng Qi did not see the second brother, even at the father emperor's longevity ceremony, nor did he see the second brother recalled to the palace. He heard that the father was very unhappy with the second brother.

"Do you know why the second child is kept in the palace?" Ping Wang's laugh became a bit ridiculous, "because the concubine who raised him framed your concubine, because he disrespected your concubine, he was sent away, and from there The emperor never looked at him in the future."

What does this mean, is it to say that the mother princess is deep-minded or malicious, do you want to be dissatisfied with the mother princess or sympathize with the second brother?

Feng Qi looked at Ping Wang strangely and asked calmly: "Since these are facts, why shouldn't he be sent away? He has no respect for the orphan, and he doesn't know how to move forward and back. Why should the emperor wait to see him?"

King Ping felt that the nine-year-old prince in front of him was a little horribly calm.

"Big Brother thought that the lone would question the mother-in-law because of these words?" He sneered. "Don't take the lonely child as an ignorant child. It is clearer which one is more important than the other. You don't have to tell the orphan."

He put his hands behind his back and lifted his chin slightly. His eyes like Zhao Guifei’s eyes were like a knife crossing the flat king. ."

After speaking, he turned around and left, completely not giving Ping Wang a face.

The matter quickly spread to Feng Jin's ears. Feng Jin didn't say much, but three days later, he gave a filial pie to King Ping.

There are many rumors of the concubine and the emperor in the outside world, but in these stories, the emperor is the affectionate emperor, the concubine is the concubine of the alluring city, Feng Qi scoffs at these stories, because in the harem, in addition to the concubine, there are other The woman, the father and emperor can not be like the story, seeing the mother concubine every day, unwilling to see other women, although the father and emperor really do not go to other people.

The mother concubine said that many stories in the world are deceptive. What you see and hear may be fake, and the only real thing is your own brain.

He couldn't figure out whether there was love he didn't understand between the father emperor and the concubine, but one thing is for sure, the father emperor and the concubine treated him very, very well.

He could still vaguely remember the very small and very small hour when the mother princess took his hand and basked in the garden while the sun was walking.

"Your Royal Highness, Empress Zhaogui sent you some snacks."

He looked at the dim sum in front of him, which he usually used, and it was extremely delicate.

After using some snacks, he got up and walked towards Xihe Palace. Just when he walked to the lotus pond, he saw his mother and concubine sitting by the pool basking in the sun, while the father and the emperor were standing behind the mother concubine with a gentle smile.

He took a break, turned around and walked out the same way.

Although he didn't know why, he felt that the father emperor looked at the mother princess with that kind of eyes, he didn't want to bother.

Well, he is the only son of Concubine Zhao. He is the noble prince of the Kyushu Dynasty and the most important prince of his father. He is not a nine-year-old child.

He looked up at the sun in the sky, showing a big smile.

Today's sunshine is really good, and he is also in a good mood.

Looking back in the direction of the lotus pond, maybe the father is in a good mood.
