Chapter 207 You are also stupid
Outside, rain and snow were mixed together.
Mammy looked at Bei Yao kneeling outside the palace gate and couldn't help but said, "My queen, let the third prince go back. It's so cold today and it's snowing. I'm afraid the third prince can't stand it."
Upon hearing this, the Queen could only say coldly, "If he wants to kneel, let him kneel. What's the matter? He is the only one allowed to be a good person in this world? Didn't you see how aggressive he was before? After all, he grew up in front of Concubine Xing, and his moral character is exactly the same as that of the Shen family."
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is still your biological son after all. What he is doing now is just to give you a way out, right?" the nanny consoled her in a bitter voice.
"Do I need him to give me a way out?" the Queen asked in return.
"Your Majesty has never given in on the Third Prince's marriage, but now she has suddenly given in. How could the Emperor not be suspicious? The Third Prince is kneeling outside now, just to give Your Majesty a reason."
The nanny looked at Bei Yao who was kneeling outside and her eyes turned red: "Even if the queen is willing to let him go, I can't."
Hearing this, the Queen closed her eyes and said, "Doesn't he just want everyone to know about this? If he can't stand it, he will go back by himself."
Upon hearing this, the nanny could only sigh.
The news that Bei Yao was kneeling outside Fengyi Palace spread like wildfire.
Bei Yuan heard this and deliberately made a detour to Fengyi Palace. Seeing Bei Yao's appearance, he said earnestly, "Third brother, if you want to ask mother to cancel the engagement, why don't you go to my brother first? Kneeling like this is harmful to your health. Come on, get up quickly."
Bei Yuan helped Bei Yao up.
When they crossed their hands, Beiyao felt that his whole body was getting hot. Beiyuan smiled with more concern: "Look at you, if your mother knew about this, she would be so distressed."
Hearing Bei Yuan's words, Bei Yao just smiled and said, "It's not just this time that I kneel down. If my mother felt bad, she would have come out long ago."
Beiyao finished speaking and continued to kneel down.
Bei Yao never knew why the Queen hated him. Ever since he could remember, he had been in Concubine Xing's palace.
He wanted to be as close to the Queen as the Crown Prince, but all he got was disgust.
That year, the Northern Yuan Dynasty deliberately framed him.
The Queen didn't even listen to his rebuttal and ordered him to kneel outside Fengyi Palace.
It was also a snowy day.
That was the first time he understood the Queen.
He thought the Queen favored the Prince because he was the heir apparent and had both civil and military talents, so he studied hard, hoping to surpass the Prince and get the Queen's attention.
But he never expected that as he became more and more outstanding, the Queen became more and more wary of him.
Before he went to Hanzhou, he told himself that it would be the last time he would run around for the queen, and also the last time he would be soft-hearted.
But he still lost.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the queen, he was not even worthy of being a rival of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
He would no longer deceive himself, knowing that the Queen would be able to see him one day.
Because he already knows what family love is.
"Third brother, why are you doing this?" Bei Yuan sighed softly, "Get up, isn't it just to cancel the engagement? I will go and talk to mother for you."
Bei Yuan helped Bei Yao up again and told him, "Cheng Xi, why don't you send your prince back home and ask the imperial physician to check his pulse. If anything happens to him, I will ask you!"
In the distance, Cheng Xi heard the words and immediately stepped forward to support Bei Yao and said, "Your Highness, go back. Concubine Xing is here."
Hearing the words "Empress Xing", Bei Yao's eyelashes fluttered slightly. After a while, he said, "Go back."
Watching Beiyao's figure getting farther and farther away, the smile on Beiyuan's face faded. He put his hands into his sleeves and said sarcastically: "It's a pity that my third brother is so smart all his life, but he can't understand the mind of our mother."
On the side, the eunuch Cheng Huan asked, "What do you mean by this, Your Highness?"
The queen's attitude towards the third prince is indeed a bit strange.
Although he is his biological son, he refuses to get close to him and instead hates him to the extreme.
Hearing this, Bei Yuan looked back and said, "You are also stupid."
Cheng Huan immediately said, "I am stupid."
Bei Yuan said, "My father is my grandmother's biological son, but the one who inherited the throne was not my father, but the late emperor who married the daughter of the Xu family. Tell me, why was the late emperor able to ascend the throne?"
After all, it happened more than 20 years ago. Cheng Huan was about the same age as Bei Yuan, so he naturally didn't know. But after hearing what Bei Yuan said, he dared to guess, "Could it be because of Queen Xu?"
"That's right, because Empress Xu married the late emperor. The late emperor could have become the emperor even if he wasn't the crown prince. If you were the empress, would you feel that in the queen dowager's heart, you are not as good as Empress Xu? Otherwise, she should be the one who rules the country."
Cheng Huan nodded.
Tianqi attached great importance to family background, and all the empresses in the past dynasties were descendants of prominent families, including Empress Xu.
But the queen today is not like that.
If the previous emperor had not passed away, the current queen would still be a princess, or she would have already gone to her fiefdom.
"That's what my mother thinks. She even clearly understands that she can't even compare to Concubine Xing. Beiyao has been raised by Concubine Xing since he was a child. How can my mother like him?"
Bei Yuan smiled coldly and said, "The more powerful Bei Yao is, the more my mother feels that she is inferior to Concubine Xing. Women are very jealous."
These things were not known before the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
But one day, he got drunk at a palace banquet and was unable to leave the palace, so he stayed in Fengyi Palace at night.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he was almost sober, but the queen thought he was still drunk and sat by his bed and fed him sobering soup.
It was also at that time that he heard what the queen said.
What the Queen hated was not Bei Yao, but the fact that Bei Yao had a personality similar to that of Concubine Xing. The Queen Mother valued the Shen and Xu families, and had always looked down on him.
It just so happened that Bei Yao was not only raised by Concubine Xing, but his best friend was also the most proud man of the Shen family, Shen Yichuan.
How could this not disgust the Queen?
Cheng Huan said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is still smart."
-
The snow was heavy and there was snow everywhere inside the palace.
When Bei Yao returned to the palace, he saw Concubine Xing.
Seeing Beiyao coming back, Concubine Xing immediately stepped forward and asked, "You are fine, why do you have to make your mother unhappy? The New Year is coming soon, it would be bad if you get sick."
"It's ok."
In front of Concubine Xing, Bei Yao smiled sincerely, "It's worth it no matter how much suffering I endure as long as I can achieve my goal."
"Child, your health is the most important thing." After saying this, Concubine Xing pulled Beiyao in and said, "I heard that you were kneeling in Fengyi Palace, so I asked the kitchen to prepare ginger soup. You should drink some quickly, otherwise you will really get sick."
"Yes." Bei Yao agreed.
After drinking ginger soup and roasting charcoal fire to dispel the coldness, Bei Yao dismissed the servants around him and said, "Madam Xingfei, I have always wanted to ask you something."
Hearing Bei Yao's words, a bad thought suddenly crossed Concubine Xing's mind.
But she still smiled and said, "What do you want to ask?"
