Chapter 294 I have to rely on you
"What did the Emperor say?" Yinzhen looked at the purple-black night sky, "I don't think the Emperor would make a decision so quickly. After all, this matter has become a big deal. All the concubines and families in the capital and even the Qing Dynasty are watching!"
"Yes, this matter is small and big at the same time. After all, it is a matter between the concubines and their own maternal clans. It is also a matter between all the concubines and even the clan women and their maternal clans now," Yin? said while holding Little Sixteen on the mat beside him.
Little Sixteen blinked his eyes. He didn't understand but he could listen. Ninth Sister-in-law said that he was young, so when his brothers or mother were talking about serious matters, he would just listen and not say anything. He didn't care when they were playing.
Little Sixteen listened obediently to the words of his most powerful sister-in-law, trying to listen carefully. Maternal clan? It seems that he doesn't have a maternal clan! Hasn't his mother told him about it?
Oh~ Then I and my fifteenth brother are the exceptions. But let me hear what happened to the brothers’ maternal clans?
"You all guessed right. The Emperor said he hasn't made a decision yet, but Ke Jing has made it clear that he doesn't care. Just based on this, Sanguanbao won't be saved. Just based on this, it's enough for Sanguanbao to regret it." Wen Yao felt that if this matter got out of hand, the Emperor would definitely punish Sanguanbao severely and punish the Guoluoluo family leniently. "The Guoluoluo family shouldn't be punished."
"The Emperor will certainly not punish the Guoluo family too severely. We have mother, fifth brother and grandfather here," Yinzhen turned his head to look at Wen Yao, "Mother is favored now and doesn't need to rely on her natal family. That being said, look at which prince doesn't have a maternal family, except for fourth brother and fourteenth brother!"
Yin? didn't say anything at this time. After all, he was the beneficiary of the powerful maternal family.
Yinzhen raised his chin towards Yin? and said, "Just look at my tenth brother and you will know the benefits of having a strong maternal family. The emperor dotes on my mother now and will definitely not punish the Guoluo family for such a small matter. If he does, the emperor will almost become a tyrant!"
Yinzhen was already surprised that the Emperor would allow this matter to become so big!
Little Sixteen looked at his chubby tenth brother lying on the cushion next to him and poked his belly. He had no maternal family but his tenth brother did, which meant that he could rely on his tenth brother. In that case... he would also be considered pregnant, right?
Xiao Shiliu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he kept moving towards Yin?
The next morning, after the morning court session, the Third Master asked for instructions that he and the Fifth Master would only attend court once every ten days to deal with the smallpox vaccination issue. After agreeing, before leaving the palace, the Third Master went to Zhongcui Palace.
"Ten days?" Rong Fei looked at her son, a trace of worry flashed across her eyes, "You have been vaccinated against smallpox, but you still need to stay away from it. You must follow the instructions of the imperial physician, wear more clothes to isolate yourself from that thing, and wash yourself thoroughly before eating and resting..."
Rong Fei gave instructions bit by bit, and the Third Master listened carefully. It was impossible to say that his own mother didn't care about him. She even cared a lot!
But as to why his own mother would do some weird things from time to time and always think about her brothers who had died young, the Third Master didn’t understand it before, but he understood it after he had his own children!
Perhaps in this world, only my mother thinks of them clearly every day. As for the Emperor... Third Master cannot go against his conscience and say that the Emperor is also in pain!
The Emperor has many princes, and his four older brothers who died young are probably not remembered by the Emperor now. He may have felt pain in the past, but now... The Emperor has many sons, and perhaps more younger brothers will be born in the future!
But it’s different here, my dear…
But all this is not an excuse for Yin'er to go crazy on him. He is a very selfish person and will not allow anyone to hurt those he cares about, even his own mother!
"Don't worry, mother. I know. There is one more thing. Hongqing has homework every day now, and the concubine also needs to keep an eye on him. He can't go to the palace every day in the future. Mother, you can bring Seventeenth Brother to relieve his boredom, and I will feel more at ease," the Third Master looked at his mother and expressed his thoughts in a more tactful way.
Rong Fei's face suddenly turned cold, and she looked at the Third Master, "Yinzhi, what do you mean by this? Are you going to the palace to pay your respects to me, and delay Hongqing and tire your wife? But what did your wife say when she went back yesterday? Isn't it normal for a daughter-in-law to pay her respects to her mother-in-law? The Dong E family is really well educated!"
The Third Master sighed heavily. He had expected Mother to do this. "Mother, it has nothing to do with Fu Jin. It was my son's own idea." He laughed at himself. "Mother, you may not believe it, but you didn't realize that when my son decided not to fight for the position of Crown Prince, you had resentment towards him in your heart!"
The Third Master clearly felt that his mother loved him very much, but she felt resentful after he did not fight for the position of Crown Prince. However, it was undeniable that his mother still loved him very much!
This seems contradictory, but it is actually quite normal.
After losing so many sons, he was the only one left to rely on. The mother poured all her efforts into him, but she gave up that position herself. She was afraid that what she wanted would never be realized, and worried that all her previous sons would be forgotten.
There is another more important reason. Mother felt that even if her legitimate son Chenghu died young, the day when her second brother was crowned as the Crown Prince was Chenghu's birthday, and no one would forget Chenghu!
However, his brothers were forgotten so early on. As long as he became the crown prince, his brothers would not be unknown!
He couldn't say his mother was wrong. There was indeed a big difference between legitimate and illegitimate children.
The Third Master looked at the look in his mother's eyes and said, "Mother, you think that your son has misunderstood, right? Mother, you are blaming your son for not thinking about his brothers, but your son is so selfish. Why would he give the credit for his hard work to a dead person? If your son is still alive, he is just a prince, and he has his own son!"
The Third Master's voice was calm, but every word was firm.
Rong Fei was a little bit incredulous, "Dead people? They are your brothers from the same father and mother!"
"Aren't they dead? Mother, do you want your son to confer a title on them for the merits he earned at the cost of his life? Mother, I just want to ask you why?" The Third Master looked at his mother, and their eyes met. Neither the mother nor the son stepped back.
The Third Master sneered, "If mother still insists, then I can only ask you why did you give birth to a son in the first place? It would be better for you to let your son and his brothers die together, rather than just being a tool of yours now."
Rong Fei was so angry that her hands were shaking as she pointed at her own son. "You...you really want to piss me off to death? You are my mother's son, how can my mother blame you? My mother has taken good care of you and worried about you all these years, and this is how you think of me? As for your brothers, I don't care if you don't want to compete for that position. Can't you give them titles for the merits you have earned? The Emperor won't let you be just a Beile forever!"
Rong Fei knew very well that the Emperor would not directly confer titles on the princes below through his own Yinzhi, but only let his own Yinzhi mention it in front of the Emperor!
