Chapter 162 Reasons for Dislike
Xie Yu didn't care at all about Xie Wuji, the unpopular prince, whether he was living a good life or not. He only cared about the reputation of the royal family.
Lin Junxue had already guessed something by looking at his expression at the moment.
Xie Yu was really cruel. Hearing that his own flesh and blood was living such a life, he didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache. In his heart, he didn't care about Prince Xie Wuji at all.
The Emperor's heart is the most poisonous thing in the world!
When Lin Junxue left Taiwu Hall, it was snowing lightly outside.
Lin Junxue paused, turned her head to look at Xie Yu who was reviewing memorials in the hall, then turned around and got on the sedan chair.
Zhonghe Palace
Lin Junxue changed into a palace dress, Qiao Xin took the hand warmer, and Guyu brought up the prepared snacks.
Guyu said, "Your Majesty, today we went directly from the Imperial Garden to the Taiwu Palace, otherwise the Emperor would have been suspicious. Your Majesty explained the matter of the Imperial Garden in a timely manner, and the Emperor's suspicion has been completely dispelled."
Qiao Xin had heard about this. While massaging Lin Junxue's legs, she said, "My queen, today, the news about the eldest prince will probably spread throughout the harem soon. Although the eldest prince is not favored by the emperor, he is also the emperor's only prince. People with ulterior motives will inevitably make more speculations."
As the master and his two servants were talking, Danzhen walked in from outside.
"My lady, I am back."
Lin Junxue turned to look at her and whispered, "Now that you're back, go have a bowl of hot soup. The weather is cold and the prince's mansion is far away, don't catch a cold."
Danzhen smiled
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I understand. Your Majesty, I just went to the prince's mansion and personally sent the eldest prince back. I think the eldest prince is having a hard time. The charcoal in the room looks like low-quality charcoal. A prince must have a lot of his share. The servants around him must have neglected it."
When Lin Junxue heard Danzhen's words, she thought of Xie Wuji whom she had just seen and nodded slightly.
"The servants in the harem all see the emperor's favor. If the eldest prince is not favored and the emperor is not happy, the servants will naturally not care about him. What about the prince? If the emperor could ask the eldest prince even a question from day to day, his life would not be so difficult. Being born in this palace, being favored is a blessing, and being unfavored is harder than ordinary people."
Qiao Xin and the other two nodded. Qiao Xin said, "I think that although the eldest prince was not favored, he survived because of this. This has both advantages and disadvantages. If the eldest prince did not have the protection of his biological mother, he might not be alive today."
In the past few years, the concubines in the harem have been unable to give birth even though they have become pregnant. This is a sinister plot that everyone knows.
Gu Yu said, "But Madam, the eldest prince is the first child born when the emperor was in the mansion. Logically, the emperor should love his first prince. Why does he treat him like this? He doesn't care about him at all and has no father-son love at all."
Lin Junxue put down the teacup and said slowly, "The emperor ignored the eldest prince because of his background. He was born to a maidservant when the emperor was in the mansion. With such a background, the emperor was destined not to like the eldest prince."
Dan Zhen said, "My lady, if the Emperor dislikes the eldest prince just because of his birth, I think this is unacceptable."
Lin Junxue did not answer the doubts of Danzhen and the other two, but she knew in her heart that the secret that she and Xie Yu shared was Xie Yu's background.
Xie Yu's biological mother was of humble origins and was a personal maid in the palace who was not worthy of being on the stage.
If Xie Yu was a kind person, he would surely feel compassion for Xie Wuji, who had the same background as him, and would take better care of him and have some father-son affection for him.
But Xie Yu is obviously not like that. People like Xie Yu are selfish, sensitive, suspicious, and cruel.
Whenever he saw Xie Wuji, he would be reminded of his humble origins, which were hidden the most.
It was like a thorn in his heart that he couldn't pull out.
What's more, Xie Yu is the emperor now, and he would not be willing to see someone with the same background as himself hanging around in front of him every day.
So Xie Yu was cold to Xie Wuji. Xie Yu just wanted to erase his own origins. It was just a kind of self-deception.
So no matter how outstanding and excellent Prince Xie Wuji is, his background has been a thorn in Xie Yu's heart over the years that can never be removed.
Sometimes, a humble origin is itself a mistake.
Lin Junxue said, "As for the eldest prince, from now on, Qiaoxin, you should pay more attention and ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prince's Mansion to have Xiao Xia Zi personally deliver the rations every month."
Lin Junxue thought of Xie Wuji's pitiful appearance. Well, if she took a little more care of him, the child's life would be better.
Qiao Xin said, "I know. When the snow stops, I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and tell Xiao Xiazi about this."
Lin Junxue nodded and said, "Well, it's not a rush. Let's go in two days when the weather is good."
Elegant Palace
Chen Xier sneered when she heard what happened in the Imperial Garden.
This Lin Junxue actually stood up for the eldest prince Xie Wuji. Why pretend to be virtuous? It's just to gain a good reputation.
Everyone knows that the eldest prince has not been favored by the emperor for many years. Since he was born, the emperor only took one look at him and then threw him in the prince's mansion and ignored him.
What's the point of supporting and getting close to such a prince? It's all a waste of effort!
If he was a favored one, it would be worth the effort, but the emperor didn't care about Xie Wuji's prince at all, so everything was in vain.
Zi Shuang walked in, and Chen Xier dismissed the palace maids around her.
Zi Shuang said softly, "My Lady, the Master has sent in what you wanted."
Seeing how efficiently his father handled things this time, Chen Xier finally felt better after feeling unhappy for the past few days, and a determined light flashed in his eyes.
As long as she used this recipe to help her conceive, she would be able to get pregnant with the emperor's baby before the next concubine entered the palace, and thus win back the emperor's heart.
Chen Xier said, "You must personally watch over this medicine every day. No one else can touch it. Do you understand?"
Zi Shuang nodded cautiously, "Don't worry, Madam, I know what I'm doing and I won't make any mistakes."
the other side
Chen Mi and Sun Manrou also received the news at the same time and learned what happened in the Imperial Garden.
Hua Ling said, "Your Majesty, the Empress suddenly stood up for the eldest prince today, punished the stubborn slave, and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send a lot of things over. What do you think the Empress thinks? Before, because the Emperor didn't like the eldest prince, the concubines in the harem avoided him, and the Empress never got close to him. What happened today?"
Chen Mi took a sip of the tea and was silent for a few seconds before speaking.
"Everyone in the harem knows about the eldest prince's situation. Today, the queen stood up for him. I guess it was because that servant went too far, so she punished him. Don't think too much about it. This matter has nothing to do with us."
Hua Ling frowned
"Your Majesty, the Emperor hasn't called your name card for a while. Recently, except for the Xianya Palace, where Concubine Li can spend one or two days, the Emperor goes to the Zhonghe Palace every day, and gives you rewards constantly. Even Concubine Xi may not be as favored as the Empress now."
