Chapter 413 Going to the Prince's Mansion
If Xie Yu truly had any love for Wuji, he would never do this.
I knew that if I kneeled here for a while, I would be sick for a few days when I returned.
Xie Yu, however, didn't care about Xie Wuji's body at all and made him kneel down as punishment.
This emperor's heart was cruel and ruthless to the concubines in the harem, and also to his own son.
Li Shiwen continued, "Empress, it was because the Emperor wanted to find a new mother for the eldest prince, but the Emperor did not say who it was. The eldest prince disobeyed the Emperor's wishes, so he was punished to kneel. I listened to your words. The Emperor mentioned it, and I pleaded according to what you said. The Emperor really relented and let the eldest prince return to the Prince's Mansion first. However, the matter is not over yet. The Emperor said that if the eldest prince cannot figure out this matter, he should stay in the Prince's Mansion and is not even allowed to go to the study."
Lin Junxue's expression was indifferent, with her phoenix eyes raised.
I'm afraid Xie Yu had already had an idea about this matter, and when he brought it up today, he didn't expect Wuji to go against his wishes.
Especially Xie Wuji, the prince whom he never cared about.
Dan Zhen said, "Your Majesty, I didn't expect it was because of this matter. Tell me, what exactly is the emperor thinking? Which concubine does he want to give the eldest prince to?"
Lin Junxue and Li Shiwen looked at each other and said at the same time, "Secret Concubine!"
Li Shiwen smiled and said, "Sure enough, your majesty and I think the same thing."
Lin Junxue spoke calmly
"In the palace now, apart from me, the queen, there are only Concubine Mi and Concubine Chen. You and Yuyan are the concubines. The emperor will never put Wuji under my name. You have Ziyi, and Yuyan just gave birth to a daughter. Only Concubine Mi and Concubine Chen are the most suitable candidates. Although Concubine Chen no longer has the support of the Sun family behind her, according to the emperor's suspicious nature, I am afraid he will never favor Concubine Chen again in this life, let alone let her have a prince. Therefore, it can only be Concubine Mi. The emperor wants to raise Wuji under Concubine Mi's name."
Li Shiwen nodded
"Indeed, now, in this harem, it is most appropriate for the eldest prince to be raised under the name of Concubine Mi. In fact, the eldest prince is so smart that he should know that it is best to listen to the emperor. Behind Concubine Mi is the Duke of Chen's Mansion, which is deeply trusted by the emperor. Once the eldest prince is raised under the name of Concubine Mi, it will be a hundred benefits for him and it will be the most correct decision."
paused
"But the eldest prince would rather disobey the emperor than listen to him and be raised under the name of Concubine Mi. I think there can only be one reason. It's because of you, Your Majesty, that he doesn't want to do that. The eldest prince is a good child. Your Majesty, you are right about the eldest prince."
Lin Junxue's eyes were slightly deep, and her long and thick eyelashes covered her ink-like eyes.
"Wuji is a good boy, but he is not calm enough. If you don't go today, he will have to kneel all the time. In the end, even if he loses his body, he still can't change the emperor's mind. In the end, he will get nothing and lose himself in vain."
Lin Junxue's words seemed cold and overly rational, but they were indeed true.
Given today's situation, even if Xie Wuji wanted to refuse, he should withdraw first without harming himself, and then think of a solution.
Li Shiwen sighed softly
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is only thirteen years old. It is already very good for him to be like this now. The most precious thing in this world is sincerity. Now this matter can make you understand the eldest prince's sincerity towards you, which is also a good thing."
Lin Junxue said, "Sincerity is indeed rare"
Li Shiwen frowned
"However, this matter is still difficult to handle. From what the emperor has said, if the eldest prince really doesn't give in, I'm afraid he will completely lose the emperor's favor. I'm afraid that even if the eldest prince fights to the end, it will be useless and he will still be kept under the name of Concubine Mi."
Lin Junxue's eyes deepened a little, but she didn't say anything. Some things had to wait until she met Wuji before she could talk about them.
After Lin Junxue returned to Zhonghe Palace, he asked Danzhen to go to Jinghe Palace.
Tell Zhang Yuyan to invite Xie Yu to have dinner at Jinghe Palace in the evening to delay time.
She wanted to take advantage of this time to go to the prince's mansion privately to meet Wuji, and this matter must not be known to anyone.
evening
As soon as Xie Yu went to Jinghe Palace for dinner, Lin Junxue and Danzhen disguised themselves, avoided people, and went to the prince's mansion.
Prince's Palace
Xie Wuji was sitting at the desk, reading a book, and could faintly hear the sound of coughing.
Danzhen pushed the door and Lin Junxue walked in. The moment Xie Wuji saw Lin Junxue, he was shocked.
He stood up in disbelief and looked at Lin Junxue who was wearing a palace maid's uniform.
"Mother, why are you here?"
Xie Wuji's eyes immediately turned red. His mother actually condescended to wear the palace maid's uniform just to see him?
Lin Junxue looked at his slightly red eyes and slightly pale face, unbuttoned his cloak
"Get up! Why have you been kneeling in Taiwu Hall for so long and are refusing to bow your head?"
Xie Wuji would only be like this in front of Lin Junxue and would not hide his vulnerability and fear.
"Mother, are you angry with me?"
Lin Junxue walked over to the couch and sat down, and Xie Wuji served her tea personally.
Lin Junxue took a sip slowly and looked at Xie Wuji.
"Today, do you know where you went wrong?"
If Xie Wuji had no ambition and did not want to reach the supreme position, Lin Junxue would naturally not be so strict with him.
But since you want that position, there are some mistakes that cannot be allowed and must never be made again.
Just like what happened today, if Xie Wuji didn’t handle it smoothly enough, all his previous efforts might even go to waste.
Xie Wuji wanted to kneel down
Lin Junxue said, "Get up. You don't need to do this in front of your mother."
Xie Wuji felt warm in his heart.
"Mother, today, I shouldn't have disobeyed my father's wishes in front of him. I was wrong."
Lin Junxue put down the teacup
"Wuji, your mother knows your feelings and knows that you don't want to be raised under the name of Concubine Mi, but you shouldn't have directly rejected your father. Being punished to kneel in Taiwu Hall will harm your own body, and the emperor did not follow your wish. When you are unable to confront your father, you must understand how to protect yourself."
Xie Wuji nodded, feeling touched.
"Thank you very much for your teachings, Mother. I promise I will never make such a mistake again."
Lin Junxue waved at him
"come over"
Xie Wuji walked forward and sat at Lin Junxue's feet, with his head resting on her knees, looking very dependent.
Lin Junxue patted his head gently
"Wuji, does it hurt?"
Xie Wuji felt a lump in his throat. When the imperial physician came to see him in the afternoon, he told him that he had injured his knees from kneeling for too long. If he didn't take care in the future, he might suffer from another injury.
Just now, he tried his best to cover it up, but his mother still found out.
In front of outsiders, even if his legs were broken, he would not show weakness.
But in front of his mother, he didn't want to show off.
Because I met my mother when I was in the most embarrassing moment.
"Mother, I love you"
