Chapter 86 The Shadow of Qi Yan

If you want to succeed, the right time, place and people are indispensable.Hindsight is the most fatal shortcoming.

The capital becomes the palace of the king.

Qi Xuan changed into his regular clothes, and the blue official clothes he took off were neatly hung up by his servants, carefully cared for without any wrinkles, just like treating rare treasures.

Official uniforms are made of the best materials, and the embroidery patterns are exquisite.The Panlong on the chest opened its claws, showing its five claws as if it was about to tear itself out.

In the Dalu Dynasty, besides His Majesty being able to wear dragon robes, the prince could also wear them.Those who are further down wear boa robes.The five claws are dragons, and the four claws are pythons.Different identities have different patterns embroidered on the robes.

But what's the use?Qi Xuan dragged the official uniform to the ground, and ruthlessly trampled it on the ground, stepping on the black boots with no intention of lifting his feet.

He didn't want to see the Panlong on it, and even wished he could tear the pattern into pieces!The five claws were going to pierce his eyes straight.The orthodox Ming Huang Shenglong style is what he has always yearned for, so why was it taken away by him? !
A lowly person who has lived in the cold palace for ten years has long been humbled into the dust.Even if he can't sit on the throne, it should never be Qi Yan's turn to sit on it!
He hates Qi Yan poisonously, it can be said that he grew up in Qi Yan's shadow.

The emperor's third son, Qi Xuan, gave birth to his mother, Concubine Shen, who came from a humble background.Originally, she was just a court lady who washed her feet, but the late emperor was drunk that day, so she was lucky.

Knowing that she was pregnant, with a dragon seed in her belly, she fantasized that the sparrow would transform into a harem empress, and her wish finally came true.

Her position was begged by Queen Bai on her behalf: "Your Majesty, that court lady is pregnant with a dragon heir, please give her a position for the sake of conceiving an heir for the royal family."

Emperor Tiande took her into the harem and made her a nobleman, giving her the title: Shen.Be careful what you say and do.

After October, nobleman Shen gave birth to the third son of the emperor, who was promoted to concubine Shen.

With a son by her side, if Concubine Shen is willing to keep her own place, she will have a prosperous and rich day, but she doesn't have to worry about it.It seems that the previous good luck gave her a taste of the sweetness, and she gradually became unwilling to do so.

Gold and silver make people lose their minds, and even a woman with a pure mind will be dazzled by benefits.

Concubine, concubine, she wants to climb up step by step.The higher she climbs, the more people admire her.She was afraid of the hard times in the past few years, and she had to create better conditions for herself!

But right now, who is His Majesty most concerned about?The crown prince of the East Palace, the eldest prince Qi Yan who is the queen's descendant.So Concubine Shen turned her attention to little Qi Xuan, she wanted Qi Xuan to be like Qi Yan, so that His Majesty would be able to like her son.

If Qi Xuan is able to inherit the great line, she is a well-deserved mother and empress dowager!

Absurd thoughts grew wildly in her mind like vines, wrapping her thoughts tightly.For the future of their mother and child, she will do whatever it takes.

Qi Xuan is sleepy, she can cruelly drag people from the couch to the desk before dawn, and the whole palace is in a peaceful state before Emperor Tiande goes to court.The sound of Lang Lang's writing came from Concubine Shen's bedroom.

Qi Xuan was playful, and Concubine Shen ordered the eunuch who accompanied him to be executed, and threw the kite rattan ball into the brazier. Qi Xuan's eyes reflected raging fire. When he promised Concubine Shen that he would study hard, Concubine Shen smiled.

"Xuan'er, the crown prince is eager to learn, and we, Xuan'er, must be like him."

"How did I give birth to such a fool like you! The prince was enlightened at the age of three, and you are now five years old and you are not as good as him." Dalu's princes are usually enlightened at the age of five, but Qi Yan is talented and intelligent, and he is also the heir. different.

"It's better to give birth to a lovely princess to please His Majesty." The princess is favored, and the benefits of being a princess' biological mother are naturally indispensable.

Concubine Shen has always been arrogant, hitting and scolding the servants of the palace.After a long time, no one dared to step forward, and no one dared to remind her of her outspoken words.

Little Qixuan lived in such an environment every day, and his mother and concubine Shen concubine asked him all the time to "try hard to make the emperor like him".

In order to study hard, Qi Xuan found a rope and tied his hair through the beams of the house, for fear that he would fall asleep while studying.The broken tea cups that can be seen everywhere on the table are also good things for him to force himself to wake up.

Every time Concubine Shen came to check, she was very pleased to see her son who worked so hard.Putting her hand on the top of Qi Xuan's head, she praised him with words, and her eyes caught the terrifying palm he scratched with a sharp object, but she kept silent.

She is a lunatic, a horrible egoist.For the sake of her glory, she is willing to sacrifice some things, even if it is her own flesh and blood born in October of her pregnancy, if one day she can exchange Qi Xuan for what she wants, she is willing to do so.

It is said that the poison of a tiger does not eat its children, and her heart is as hard as iron, and she will do anything for her own benefit.

Qi Xuan worshiped Qi Yan at first.In his young eyes, his elder brother is omnipotent and capable of everything.

Later, he was jealous of Qi Yan, why did they have similar blood in their bodies, both of them are the children of the father, so the gap is so big?Why can't he surpass him no matter what?

I don't know since when, he hated it.His childhood was full of scolding from his mother and concubine. Even in his sleep, his mother concubine raised his ear to ask him to study hard. He hated such days, but he didn't want to see his concubine's disappointed expression. He was in a dilemma every day. middle.

Until Qi Yan was deposed and imprisoned in the cold palace, life was worse than death.He admitted that he exhaled a breath that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.Qi Yan's life was restricted, he was a bird whose wings had been broken, and could not fly in this life. His life was so narrow that he could see the end at a glance.

But he is different, he is still the prince.Even if the second elder brother Qi Jing became the new crown prince, he was still the son of his father, the third son of Dalu.

His whole life has just begun, and the Ye family is eyeing the successor, and the Ye family is bound to win the throne.He can just be an idle prince. Anyway, Qi Yan has fallen, and he no longer needs to live in someone's shadow.

In ancient times, high-ranking concubines were afraid that others would touch their power, so they often used vicious means to quietly get rid of concubines who gave birth to dragon heirs.

A prince without the help of a foreign family is equivalent to losing his right hand and right arm, and he can't make any big waves in the deep palace.

Concubine Shen's low status has no influence on Qi Jing's throne.Empress Ye lowered her vigilance and did not kill her.But that stupid Concubine Shen seemed to think that Empress Ye was as talkative as Bai, so she became more and more defiant and domineering in the palace.

Empress Ye is extremely unhappy, left and right are useless, if something is mixed in her diet, she will go away after a long time.

Of course, Qi Xuan was kept in the dark about all of this.
