Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 59

After the wedding, the prince stayed with Chu Yan in Yong'an Palace for three days, and then began the days of going out early and returning late, and diligently governing the country.

For Chu Yan, life hasn't changed much, she just married the prince, not the emperor, so she still lives under the same roof as Gu Qi.He usually sleeps in the side hall, and goes to his bedroom when he serves, unlike the empress, who will move to a separate palace after her wedding.

After Gu Qi started to be busy, she would go back to Yuanxi Palace every few days to talk with Zhao Ronghua, or just sit there quietly and embroider, at least she would sit under the same roof, so my aunt would not be lonely.

Since Zhao Ronghua misunderstood Gu Qi last time, he has never seen Gu Qi again.

The blow this time was undoubtedly fatal. Originally, she had been looking forward to Chu Yan's big wedding day, but now her interest has faded.Even if Chu Yan came back to see her for the first time after her wedding, she just quietly listened to Chu Yan talk about some new things, and she didn't mention anything about the Zhao family in a word.

Chu Yan found that her aunt seemed to have suddenly figured it out. No matter it was about the Zhao family's affairs or the affairs of the court, she stopped asking, and became silent overnight.

Several days passed like this, and Chu Yan finally stopped in another one-man show, put down the needle and thread in her hand, turned around to look at Zhao Ronghua, and called out, "Auntie."

After chatting for a long time, she found that Zhao Ronghua's gaze had been fixed outside the window, and now she heard her stop and call aunt, and then she turned her head.

Looking at her rapidly aging face, Chu Yan suddenly found that the corners of her eyes had wrinkles since no one knew when.

She is not yet fifty, at this age for a pampered woman in the palace, she shouldn't age so quickly.

Feeling flustered for some reason, Chu Yan paused, and then said, "What is Auntie thinking?"

Zhao Ronghua was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "I'm thinking about what I've been thinking about in the past few decades."

Chu Yan stood there in a daze.

There was some emotion in Zhao Ronghua's eyes. She looked at Chu Yan, but she seemed to see her former self through that young face. The two were somewhat similar.

She murmured, "Before I entered the palace, I was determined to be the most honorable woman in the palace. I hoped that I could win that man's heart, win a piece of heaven for the Zhao family, and win for myself." A splendid life. And after entering the palace, I really got the favor and gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor. I thought this was the result of my hard work. If I keep fighting like this in the future, my life will be different. It’s been smooth sailing.”

She suddenly smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened, as if full of helplessness and sighs.

"I have really spent my whole life fighting, fighting with concubines, fighting with the emperor...and also fighting with my own son. I hope that Qi'er will become the crown prince, so that I can stand at the highest position in the harem, even if I was not Queen, as long as I can become queen mother in the future, I will also win. So I forced him to do a lot of things, and I never even considered his feelings. I don’t know how I did it at that time, but I really never I felt sorry for him, but I just wished that he could understand my heart, and then fight for me, for the Zhao family, and for himself."

So she forced him to practice calligraphy and read books every day, and to do everything to the best in Mingyangzhai. Even if he fell ill or collapsed, she would not relax for a moment, because she didn't know that there were so many beautiful women in the harem. When will my daughter have another prince.

She was getting old day by day, and finally realized that the emperor's great favor to her was only because of the status of the Zhao family, so she was even more anxious to help her son to be the crown prince. She will breathe a sigh of relief when Qi becomes the emperor.

Once a person falls into a demonic barrier, he is like a prey caught in a spider's web. If he does not rely on his own strength to escape, he will have to wait for death.

She is a selfish person, neither thinking about escaping from this gorgeous spider web, nor considering other people's feelings.

So it finally came to today.

"He finally became a prince, but he is already someone else's son. He is close to Concubine Rong, and lives a carefree life in Xihua Palace, but I believe that it is Concubine Rong's conspiracy Trick, she just relied on the emperor's favor to hope that the second prince she gave birth could replace Qi Er. I found Qi Er to persuade him, and exposed the trick of Rong Huang and noble concubine in front of him, hoping that he would understand my painstaking efforts , Don’t be so obsessed with trusting others, but he turned against me for the first time, and said that I judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.”

"I never thought that my son, who had never disobeyed me under my strict and demanding requirements, would actually disobey me because of a titular mother and concubine. I was heartbroken and disappointed, but no matter how many times I approached him, He always turned to that woman."

"So after I finished fighting the harem concubines, I finally started fighting my own son."

Zhao Ronghua smiled softly, and there was a layer of mist in his eyes.

"How stupid I am. I can even treat my own son as an enemy. I thought someone else took him away, but I didn't know that I pushed him away bit by bit. I don't love him, don't spoil him, but even Others have to deny their love for him, so it's no wonder he hates me so much, he doesn't think of me as a mother anymore..."

Shocked by her words, Chu Yan could only reach out to hold her, and called "Auntie".

Zhao Ronghua turned his head and looked at her, "That day when he came to see me in Yuanxi Hall, I wrongly accused him of murdering his grandfather indiscriminately, and didn't even give him a chance to distinguish. He didn't get angry from the beginning to the end, just laughed He said to me, "Whatever mother wants to think, you can think about it." And it wasn't until after he left that I was alone in the hall and thought for a long time at a loss, before I figured out some things that I had been obsessed with in the past."

She is not stupid, nor is she stupid, she is fascinated by the glory, wealth, power and status, and also fascinated by her heart.

She has been looking up to that high throne since a long time ago, she wants to become a unique existence, and wants to push the Zhao family to the pinnacle of power.

She even missed her son's entire growing up, and didn't even give him the most basic trust, but asked him to make sacrifices for her wishful thinking.

If it was really Gu Qi who murdered his father, he wouldn't have refused to admit it until now, only showing such helpless and desolate eyes.

In the end, she realized that what she had lost over the years was not only the wasted time in pursuit of power, but also the most important person to her.

She is a mother, but she has never truly fulfilled her duties as a mother. No wonder Gu Qi's son has never truly become her son.

Zhao Ronghua laughed and laughed, and finally burst into tears, dripping down on the back of Chu Yan's hand one by one.

She held Chu Yan's hand, covered her face with the other hand, and finally couldn't help sobbing.

"I'm the stupidest person in the world. I want too much, and now I'm finally reaping the fruit. I didn't get anything, and I lost the person who belonged to me."

Tears poured out from between her fingers one by one, as if she could no longer hold back the grief.

"Chu Yan, don't learn from me. Power and status are nothing but illusions. You think that what you want most is them, but you will eventually realize that while you are pursuing those glitzy fame and fortune, what you lose is nothing more. Things you can never get back, and you don't realize how precious they are to you until you lose them...."

Chu Yan's heart seemed to be tightly held by someone's hand. She had always been thinking a lot, but she couldn't find a word to comfort this woman who was holding her and weeping bitterly.

This is her aunt, the one who raised her.

This person may have made many mistakes, and to many people she is an out-and-out vicious woman, but to her, she has been the only support since she was a child, no matter what happens, she will always stand in front of her, Hold up a sky for her.

Chu Yan could only squat down, hold her hand with red eyes, and then reached out to wipe away those seemingly endless tears for her.

"Auntie, don't cry. You haven't lost His Royal Highness, he is still your son. Even if there is a misunderstanding today, as long as you are willing to solve it, he will forgive you... After all, mother and child are connected, and there will be no life. of estrangement."

That afternoon, Chu Yan accompanied Zhao Ronghua, who had finally realized his enlightenment, in the main hall to vent his repentance for so many years.

She didn't even know if such contrition was good or bad for her aunt.

The former aunt was obsessed with obsession, but because of her persistent goal, she has been standing still.

Today's aunt finally understands what is most important to her, but too much regret and pain are coming, and this aging woman is about to be crushed.

Chu Yan finally realized that the people who have been relying on each other for the past ten years have gradually aged unconsciously. There are dazzling silver threads in her hair, and fine lines at the corners of her eyes. A gap finally appeared in the indestructible heart, and it was about to collapse.

Holding Zhao Ronghua's hand, she finally understood the regret brought about by the passing of time.

She suddenly felt a little panic. Will this dependent woman finally leave her one day?
After Zhao Ronghua, Chu Yan seemed to have seen that in the near future, there are more turning points waiting for her.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the political change brought about by the prince's emperor's art.

Now that Chu Yan has officially become the Crown Princess, the status of the Zhao family seems to have become extremely noble overnight, and Zhao Wu's body has gradually recovered, and the rights that originally belonged to him have gradually returned to his hands.

There are two giants in the old forces in the court, Mu Qingzhuo and Zhao Wu.

To control each other, the crown prince will not neglect any party. If the Zhao family is strong today, there will be changes in the Mu family tomorrow.

While controlling these two major forces, he can continue to develop his own forces, and the Zhao Mu family must fight fiercely, so that they will not have the leisure to take care of the rise of new forces.

In the study room of Huayan Palace, Xiao Che and Qin Yuanshan looked at each other, and finally Qin Yuanshan opened the mouth.

"Now the Crown Princess is a member of the Zhao family, and the Mu family is obviously in a weak position. There is probably only one way to get evenly matched."

The room was quiet, and the three of them knew each other well, but no one spoke again.

Gu Qi looked at the inkstone on the table calmly, the emotion in his eyes was like the thick ink in the inkstone, it was dense, and there was no clue.
