Chapter 941: The Ungrateful Son 7
"Xun'er, don't be like this." Although he said this, King Rui had no intention of pushing Yi away. "You are now my brother's concubine. We can't..."
"Your Highness," Yi agreed, looking up at King Rui in despair, "Your Highness, do you dislike Xun'er's dirty body?"
"How could that be," King Rui said hurriedly, "In my heart, Xun'er is the most beautiful woman in the world. How could I despise you? It's just that you are now the emperor's concubine. If people knew about you and me, your life would be in danger."
"I'm not afraid," Yi agreed and cried, "As long as I can meet the prince from time to time and let the prince love me, then I won't be afraid of anything. The only thing I'm afraid of is that the prince will dislike me. This will be the most fatal blow to me and will make me lose the courage to live."
"Silly Xun'er, how could I possibly dislike you?" King Rui kissed Yi Yingying on the forehead. "Since Xun'er is not afraid, then why should I be afraid of anything? I only regret that I didn't ask mother for you earlier. That's why you became my brother's woman."
King Rui really likes Yi Da Ying. After all, Yi Da Ying's appearance is completely irresistible to men.
Originally, Prince Rui planned to ask his mother for Yi's consent after the marriage, but he never expected that his mother would push Yi's consent to the emperor.
Compared with the emperor's bad reputation, Prince Rui cherishes his own reputation very much, especially since he wants to marry a wife from a prominent family, so he must be chaste. At least before he gets married, he cannot have concubines in the backyard.
In the original owner's previous life, Prince Rui had no ambition for the throne, but the emperor's throne in this life was not stable, and the empress dowager was in charge of the palace power, which naturally made Prince Rui ambitious.
Therefore, when Prince Rui learned that Yi had agreed to become the emperor's concubine, he did not feel sad about losing the beauty, but instead came up with an idea at the first moment.
As for his plan, wasn't it obvious? He was trying to confuse the Emperor's bloodline, have the Emperor raise a son for him, and then, through the Empress Dowager, harm the Emperor's offspring, so that the throne would eventually fall to the child he had with Yi Ying.
But he had to get her to agree to have a child first. Although the Queen Mother favored him, his brother was also the Queen Mother's biological son. If he wanted the Queen Mother to support his ambition, he had to do it step by step without any haste.
At the same time, Jiang Chunxi was in the palace.
"Master, Yi promised to get married to Prince Rui. The green hat you prepared for the emperor has finally fallen firmly on his head." Miao Ke walked in from outside and reported to Jiang Chunxi:
"I knew he promised not to disappoint me," Jiang Chunxi said as she was arranging flowers. "Of course, Prince Rui didn't disappoint me either."
"Master, should we prepare for our next move?" Miao Ke said with a gloating expression. "I can't wait to hear how furious the Emperor will be when he finds out that his own brother has cheated on him and is trying to steal his throne."
"No rush," Jiang Chunxi looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction. "The Emperor has just acquired eight concubines. Now is the time for him to work hard on selling his body. We can't dampen his enthusiasm at this point in time."
"Not to mention Chen agreed. How could we not let Chen agree to watch the emperor favor one woman after another and forget about her, letting her taste the bitterness of falling out of favor?"
During the past three years, although the emperor allowed Chen Da Ying to be tortured by the empress dowager, whenever he entered the harem, he would definitely go to Chen Da Ying's palace. The emperor even secretly subsidized Chen Da Ying's food, clothing, housing and transportation from his own private treasury.
Otherwise, even if Chen agreed to receive the promised share, how could he use bird's nest to nourish his body every day?
However, the Queen Mother's method of torturing people was really amazing, so no matter how many nourishing things she used, Chen Da Ying's appearance was still damaged, and there was no trace of her former radiant look.
At the same time, because the emperor still favored Chen, Huifei and Shupin did not dare to torture her.
After avenging their son's murder, the anger in the two people's hearts dissipated. After all, they still had their natal families to take care of, so naturally they no longer dared to have the courage to risk their lives.
The most important thing is that they still hope to have another son. As long as they still have hope in their hearts, they will have some concerns and will naturally think twice before doing anything.
Oh! By the way, Concubine Hui’s mentally retarded son died of a high fever two years ago.
As for the truth of the matter, only Concubine Hui herself knew. When her son first became mentally retarded, Concubine Hui was indeed in great pain.
But as the pain in her heart gradually faded, Hui Fei's mentality changed when facing her foolish son, and the look in her eyes when she looked at her son gradually became full of disgust.
"Master is right," Miaoyin said. "Although Chen Yingda has endured the empress dowager's torture for the past three years, her food, clothing, housing and transportation have not deteriorated at all. And now that the emperor needs to sell himself to secure his own prince, he certainly won't dare to openly favor Chen Yingda anymore."
"Otherwise, the concubines who have just entered the palace and their families will probably have to think twice before acting. After all, the emperor lost four princes because of Chen's foolish behavior."
A few years ago, when the three princes in the prince's house had high fever at the same time, everyone with a discerning eye knew that it must have been Chen Da Ying's doing, but even so, the emperor still wanted to protect Chen Da Ying.
In this situation, if the emperor still favors Chen as usual, then the new concubines who have entered the palace and their families will definitely have to carefully consider whether to be loyal to the emperor.
"Now that the Emperor has to sell himself, he naturally won't be foolish again. He has to at least pretend to do it," Jiang Chunxi sneered. "Just wait and see! Chen promised that his real hard times are about to begin."
What Jiang Chunxi said was indeed true. The emperor had stopped the subsidies to Chen Dancing. After the eight new concubines entered the palace, in order to share the spoils equally, many of them sold their bodies. As a result, Chen Dancing had not been allowed to make any new payments for two whole months.
It is worth mentioning here that the virtuous concubine now lives in the main hall of Chengguang Hall.
The virtuous concubine's father is a first-rank military general. She is the person who sells herself most diligently to the emperor. Since the emperor is in urgent need of the support of military generals, the virtuous concubine has been very favored in the past two months.
"Your Highness, the Queen Mother hasn't announced Chen's consent to go to the Queen Mother's Palace these past few days. Does this mean that the Queen Mother is not going to torture Chen and is ready to let him go?" Dingxiang, the confidant of Concubine Xian, said:
It's said that the Queen Mother is a psychologically twisted mother. Seeing that the Emperor particularly dotes on Concubine Xian, she couldn't help but want to make things difficult for Concubine Xian, so she kindly let Chen Da Ying go so that Chen Da Ying would have the energy to make things difficult for Concubine Xian.
