The Favored Concubine: The Doting Prince

Chapter 121 Good Brother

When they got home at night, Yuan Yi and Fan Yue extinguished the candles and chatted in the moonlight while leaning on the bed. Yuan Yi played with Fan Yue's slender little hands, squinting his eyes and trying to fall asleep, but Fan Yue seemed to be thinking about something.

"What are you thinking about?"

"The one who will be returning from the National Banquet is the Sixth Prince Yuan Yan. It seems that Father only has seven children in total."

"Yes, for an emperor, my father didn't have many children. At that time, there was only my mother in the palace. And my father also promised that she would be the only one in the future. But later she died. My father also married a new concubine.

At that time, my uncle led the Sai'an tribe to leave Chenliang. In order to stabilize the political situation, my father must support several new clans and use them for his own benefit. The quickest way is to marry their daughters.

So some new concubines were brought in at that time. There was Concubine Xian, Concubine Mei, and Concubine Jing. " Yuan Yi counted these concubines in detail, as if confirming his father's betrayal over and over again.

"It was Consort Xian who gave birth to the second child. She was kind. Wen Wan was a typical lady from a noble family. She also took good care of me when she first entered the palace.

But later she gave birth to a second child, a princess. I saw her from a distance. She was as pretty as a pink ball. But she didn't live long. She died young. People in the palace said it was because she was too close to me and was cursed. The disease came, fiercely, and there was no cure. "

The virtuous concubine didn't dare to get close to me anymore, but she never harmed me either.

Concubine Jing is a person who is as calm as a chrysanthemum and does not fight or compete. In fact, she is not close to her father, but she is really beautiful.

She was really as beautiful as a flower, but I heard that Concubine Jing had already been engaged to her childhood sweetheart, but his family wanted to use her beauty to gain some benefits for their family. Don't force her marriage to break up and let her marry into the palace.

At that time, she was very favored. Her father also loved her. She gave birth to the third prince Yuan Mo and the sixth prince Yuan Yan. But later, for some unknown reason, she moved out of the palace to practice seclusion.

The virtuous concubine gave birth to the fourth prince, Yuande."

"I haven't even heard of this Yuan De."

"Of course. I always thought that Yuande would replace me. The Xianfei's mother's family is a very prosperous family, and the family education is strict. The family tradition is very upright.

Yuande was a good kid. But his mother was a little spoiled because her first daughter died. At that time, his father also liked the fourth child, so Yuande was a little proud, but it was nothing for a man to be proud.

But later on, the seventh child grew up too fast, and no one was interested in him because his mother was a palace maid.

"The Imperial Concubine is a palace maid."

"Yes, and she was the maid who took care of my mother at that time."

"So that's how it is." Fan Yue never expected that the imperial concubine, who is now extremely respected in the palace, was actually a palace maid.

"She was only made a concubine after the seventh child was born. She didn't even have a title. She was just given her surname. So the seventh child was also tortured in the palace at that time.

But he refused to admit defeat, and was not even afraid of death. When hunting, he was really a child who dared to pick up a sword and fight a brown bear. Everyone thought he was dead. But when his thin body dragged the dead brown bear out, everyone screamed and shouted. "Yuan Yi looked at the moon in the distance and fell into deep thought, with admiration and respect in his eyes.

Later, he was valued by General Yan. The old general was a good master but very strict. Although the seventh son was a prince, he would be bruised all over by frequent training.

Later, Lao Qi's support in the army was greater than Yuan De. Later, at a young age, he became the demon master on his own and conquered Chi Yan.

Yuande was more anxious than him, but although Yuande was indeed excellent in literature, he was unwilling to endure hardships in martial arts and would not be able to grow if he could not endure hardships.

So he was eager for quick success and wanted to conquer the monster himself.

When he came back, his face was disfigured, his legs were broken, and he almost lost his life.

After he was rescued, he would no longer be eligible to compete for the throne. His mother became ill and mad because of this. She always shouted that someone wanted to kill her child.

Because the palace investigated this matter for a long time. At that time, some people pointed the finger at the seventh brother. They also bullied his mother in the palace.

After a long time of arguing, no evidence could be found. Later, it was the weak Yuan De who stood up and stopped his mother from making random accusations.

He said it was his own fault. The demon masters had chosen another demon beast for him. It was more docile, but much less powerful than Chiyan. He rode his horse into the heart of the forest, intending to capture the vicious demon beast alive while it was dormant.

But it was not that simple. Fortunately, Yuan Dexin was kindhearted. Otherwise, many people would have died in the palace. He asked to take his mother back to his fiefdom. It was said that after returning, Concubine Xian's health improved a lot.

Yuande is unable to walk due to his disfigurement. He rarely returns to the capital. He sent an invitation to the national banquet this year but still did not come.

In fact, all the adult princes, except the crown prince, had to return to their fiefdoms. This was to prevent them from causing chaos in the capital. It was just because Yuan Yan had been sent to the Far Wild Country. His father specially ordered Yuan Mo to stay in the capital to accompany his mother.

"But I've lived in my brother-in-law's house for a long time and I haven't heard of this mother concubine. Even my sister hasn't mentioned it much."

Concubine Jing was very reclusive. She would stop the emperor from meeting her even when he came. Yuan Mo was rarely seen when he came. Yuan Mo was sad for a long time because of this incident. The half-grown child knelt outside the temple, wanting to see his mother but was refused entry by his mother.

When Yuan Mo got married, he just asked someone to send a pair of bracelets from the mountain gate, nothing else, and he didn't even meet in person.

Mei Fei was originally a good friend of the Queen Mother. Later, she was sent here by the family. But she always seemed to be angry with the King and would not forgive him.

After giving birth to her daughter, she fell ill and moved out of the palace. So in the end, the only person who remained by her father's side was the imperial concubine, except for some people of low rank who could not even see him.

After Yuan Yi finished speaking, Fan Yue did not speak either. The two of them were in silence, listening to each other's breathing and sighing. They sighed about many things, including their brothers who could not see each other, and the miserable lives of these women from entering the palace to leaving the palace.

From being high-spirited to leaving the stage sadly. There are too many things in this world that are worth sighing about.

"Yuan Yi, I can see your brother again."

"Yeah, and Yan'er went there for me."

"For you?"

"At that time, Yuanhuang wanted me, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chenliang, the child of the Sai'an family. My father refused, but the court officials were happy to think that I was a hot potato. It would be even better if I could curse their country in the process." Yuan Yi also laughed when he said this.

"But later it was little Yuan Yan who stood up. He was very small at that time. He said, I will go, the prince is not in good health. I will go! He was so young that he didn't understand anything.

He only knew that I was not in good health and that I might die from such a long journey. Then he left. On the day I sent him off, he had a frown on his face, wanting to cry but not wanting to.

Like a little man, he held onto the door frame of the car, watching his mother and his brother. When his eyes fell on me, he smiled brightly.

At this point, Yuan Yi suddenly couldn't hold back anymore, and hugged Fan Yue in his arms and hid his face in Fan Yue's neck. "But I can't take her back now. I can't do it yet. He is a good brother, but I am not a good brother."

Yuan Yi's voice was choked with sobs. Fan Yue could also feel the wetness of her hair.

Patting Yuan Yi gently.
