The emperor scolded Yonghuang Yongzhang
On the solemn day when Empress Xiaoxian's Zi Palace was moved, the palace was filled with a sad atmosphere.All the princes and concubines shed tears to express their grief for the late queen.However, in this grieving crowd, the eldest brother and the third brother seemed extremely calm and showed no sadness.
The emperor noticed this unusual scene and asked the eldest brother why he didn't shed tears.The eldest brother replied respectfully. He saw that the emperor was too sad, and he had to deal with the loss of the late empress for the emperor, so he did not dare to grieve.The emperor turned to the third elder brother again. The third elder brother also said that he saw the emperor's mother sad and wanted to maintain some sobriety and reason, so he did not shed tears.
However, the emperor was furious after hearing this. He believed that the two sons were unfaithful and unfilial, fighting internally and externally, and plotting evil intentions.Concubine Chun defended her third elder brother, but was angered by the emperor.The emperor even regretted not giving his eldest brother to Ruyi to raise, thinking that this was the cause of the current situation.
The emperor was still angry. He accused the eldest brother of always considering himself the eldest son and coveting the position of prince, while the third elder brother always competed with the eldest brother to please his relatives.The words and deeds of the two are inconsistent, and they cannot inherit the throne without a son.When Concubine Chun heard these words, she couldn't bear it and fainted to the ground.Everyone helped her back to Zhongcui Palace.
After waking up, Concubine Chun hurriedly begged the Queen Mother for mercy, but the Queen Mother did not see her and just told her to behave herself in the future.The Queen Mother was also suspicious of the lack of sadness of the eldest brother and the third brother, thinking that there must be something fishy, so she ordered someone to investigate in detail.
The eldest brother and the third brother knelt in the rain to plead guilty, but the emperor insisted not to see them.Concubine Chun rushed here, held the third elder brother in her arms and begged the emperor for mercy.In the end, the emperor issued an order to punish the two princes' master and Shuda, and asked the brothers to go back and think about their mistakes.
After this turmoil, Concubine Chun fell seriously ill, and no one from the palace came to visit her, not even Concubine Jia.Concubine Chun learned that it was Concubine Jia's fourth elder brother who was leading the princes to salute at the funeral ceremony in the palace. She thought that the emperor had praised his fourth elder brother on the day when he reprimanded Yong Huang and Yong Zhang, and she felt even more sad.
The emperor suspected that the people around Concubine Chun intended to reveal that the former empress had recommended Concubine Chun as her successor, so he ordered Eunuch Jin Zhong to lead people to check the people in Concubine Chun's palace, and if he didn't like the concubine, he would be kicked out of the palace.Seeing this, Imperial Concubine Chun blamed herself even more, thinking that she had cut off Yongzhang's path to becoming a prince.
At the same time, the fourth prince attracted much attention because of the praise he received from the emperor.When he returned to the palace to pay his respects to Concubine Jia, Concubine Jia was very pleased and told him to be more careful.Si Age said that he would not let down E Niang's expectations.
In this dispute in the palace, Ruyi knew that Hailan was taking advantage of the emperor's suspicion of the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother to make them completely fall out of favor.Ruyi sees that her eldest brother is very depressed now, and she can't let go of the love she had back then. However, Hailan thinks that Ruyi is too emotional and this will be her biggest weakness.
On the other hand, Yanwan saw Hailan leaving Ruyi's palace and wanted to see Ruyi, but Ruyi did not see her.Yan Wan thought that Concubine Jia was also a strong candidate to compete for the throne. If she became the successor, life would be even more difficult in the future.So, she decided to go to Qixiang Palace to meet Concubine Jia.
On the way, Yan Wan met Concubine Jia, who sarcastically said that she was once her palace maid, but now that she is a concubine, she is always fawning and adapting to the situation.Concubine Jia asked Yan Wan to help her wipe her muddy shoes. In order to make friends with Concubine Jia, Yan Wan could only bear the humiliation and wipe them for her.Concubine Jia asked Yan Wan why she was not pregnant since she had gone to bed. She also said that Yan Wan was already a great blessing to serve the emperor and was not worthy of giving birth to a prince.
At this time, Ling Yunche met Jia Fei and Yan Wan by chance. After Jia Fei left, Ling Yunche saw Yan Wan crying and took out a handkerchief for her to wipe.Yan Wan said that she didn't want Ling Yunche to see her like this. Although the road now was difficult, she would keep walking.
Yanwan, who returned to the palace, held a grudge against Concubine Jia, and she was determined to have a child in order to stabilize her position.At the same time, when Li Yu came to see Ling Xin, he saw that Ling Xin was very close to Dr. Jiang.After Dr. Jiang left, Li Yu gave a jade hairpin to Ling Xin, but Ling Xin thought the gift was too valuable and refused to accept it.During the conversation, Ling Xin mentioned that Concubine Jia's blessing of having children was enviable, but Li Yu thought that she could not give Ling Xin such a blessing and did not want to delay her any longer.
