I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 40 This mother can't get along with her, she's really a fool when something happens!
In the afternoon of that day, Weiyang Palace, Phoenix Hall.

The eldest son of the emperor, Liu Rong, walked into the hall as if mourning his concubine, and bowed his hands to his mother, Li Ji.

"Mother."

Seeing Liu Rong approaching, Li Ji did not immediately show a smile as usual, but cast her examining gaze on Liu Rong's extremely lonely face.

"How did I hear that Xiao Jiu seems to have gone to Changle today?"

"—You asked him to go?!"

Asked coldly, but did not frighten Liu Rong;

Hearing the words, Liu Rong let out a short sigh full of bitterness, then stepped forward and knelt down on the banquet in front of Li Ji obliquely.

Taking another deep breath and adjusting his mental state, Liu Rongcai finally looked at Li Ji who was sitting upright, full of sorrow.

"Mother;"

"No matter how miserable my aunt is, she is still the eldest princess, the sister of the father, the emperor and the mother, and the only daughter of the emperor's grandmother."

"As the saying goes: the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker;"

"The mother doesn't want the child to marry Gillian, and the child dare not disobey."

"But no matter what, mother should also look at it for the sake of the emperor's grandmother, and show a little respect to my aunt..."

Talking full of melancholy, Liu Rong just shook his head and sighed again when he saw his mother, Li Ji, showing an angry look on her face.

"Xiao Jiu's going to Changle was indeed entrusted by the boy to plead guilty to the emperor's grandmother on his behalf."

"But does mother know: what did the emperor's grandmother say after learning about Xiao Jiu's visit?"

"—The imperial grandmother said that this Phoenix Palace is too embarrassing, and the imperial grandmother is a 'mere' empress dowager, so she dare not be dissatisfied!"

When it came to the end, Liu Rong's tone couldn't help becoming a little excited, and even hinted at a bit of complaint;
Fortunately, after a while, Liu Rong realized his gaffe, adjusted his emotions again, and then looked at Li Ji pleadingly.

"Mother;"

"My child is still just the 'Emperor's eldest son'..."

"Could it be that mother, because of the old grievances against my aunt, wants the child to be stigmatized as 'unfilial to the East Palace' before he can become the heir?"

"—The battle for the reserve position has been bloody since ancient times. Anyone who wins the battle and fails to win it will end well!"

"Could it be that in the mother's heart, the life and death of the child are not comparable to the old grievances between the mother and the aunt?"

After saying that, Liu Rong finally let out a sigh, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes without any trace.

"If the mother is willing, the child will be happy to find the father, please make him king, and then he will be in the Guandong;"

"But since the mother wants the child to fight, she shouldn't make the emperor's grandmother unhappy?"

"If the emperor's grandma is upset by the mother and the child cannot compete, how can the crown prince accommodate my mother and son in the future?"

"—Madam Qi and Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi's lessons, mother, don't you remember..."

Expressing all the worries in his heart, Liu Rong lowered his head aggrieved, and secretly wiped away tears in front of Li Ji.

And when she saw Liu Rong bowed her head and sobbed softly in front of her, Li Ji felt that the scolding on her lips finally turned into a burst of unconvincing explanations;

Or hard-spoken.

"Of course my mother understands what Rong'er means;"

"But this matter, Rong'er made a mistake."

After saying a word in a low tone, Li Ji slowly got up from the couch and looked into Liu Rong's eyes with full confidence.

"My mother and son are not Madam Qi and Liu Ruyi;"

"—My mother and son are Empress Dowager Lu and Emperor Xiaohui!"

Saying this without blushing, Li Ji only got more confidence, she stepped forward and sat gently beside Liu Rong.

"Rong'er needs to know: Mother is His Majesty's first wife."

"Just like Madam Qi, Liu Ruyi's mother and son, no matter how they are, they will never be able to compete with Emperor Xiaohui;"

"It's also like when the first emperor, Mrs. Shen, Liu Yi's mother and son were favored, but they couldn't beat His Majesty."

"My mother and son will definitely have the last laugh."

As she spoke swearingly, Li Ji couldn't help but smile, and slowly stretched out her hand to comfort Liu Rong's back.

"Rong'er think about it;"

"Emperor Taizu Gao, what a great talent, what a hero, what a hero, and how could he not easily establish Liu Ruyi, so he could only let Emperor Xiaohui take the throne?"

"Emperor Xiaowen was the first emperor, and his virtue was won by the common people, Ze, birds and beasts. People all over the world praised him: There is no higher achievement than Emperor Taizu Gao, and no higher virtue than Emperor Taizong Xiaowen!"

"But even so, Emperor Xiaowen also failed to fulfill his wish, Yi Li Liang Wang Liu Yi, and let His Majesty sit in the country."

"Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, one with 'highest merit' and one with 'highest virtue', neither dared to abandon the elders and establish the younger ones;"

"How dare Your Majesty not establish my son, but depose the elders and establish the younger ones, in order to damage the legacy of Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Xiaowen?"

After asking several questions in succession, Li Ji's face was full of self-confidence, and the previous guilty conscience had long since disappeared.

"Rong'er, don't worry too much~"

"With the status of the 'Emperor's eldest son', he can't run away with this position!"

Another assertion full of confidence finally caused Liu Rong to raise his head again, looking at Li Ji full of doubts.

"But!"

"Even if the child has already taken the position of crown prince, there is no need for the mother to share the same relationship with the aunt and the emperor's grandmother, right?"

But when Li Ji heard the words, a serious look appeared on Li Ji's face. If someone she didn't know saw her, she might mistake Li Ji for some powerful person.

"Crazy~"

"Mother's thoughts, can't Rong'er understand?"

"—In the past few years, that tricky woman has often moved things from the national treasury and internal funds to her Tang Yihou's mansion!"

"With the support of the Queen Mother, even Your Majesty can only let it go!"

Speaking aggressively, Li Ji's brows could not help but be filled with anger.

"Your Majesty is here, and that naughty woman doesn't know how to restrain herself. If my mother doesn't do something, in the future, my son will rule the world, and the naughty woman will rely on the Queen Mother, so why not go against the sky?!"

"Especially at that time, when the queen mother becomes the empress dowager, and the eldest princess becomes the eldest princess, even if my son has the heart, what can I do?"

"So now, mother is just taking advantage of His Majesty's presence, and using His Majesty's prestige for my son, to beat that tricky woman a little bit;"

"If this is not the case, after a hundred years from His Majesty, the national treasury and internal funds will all be labeled as 'Tangyihou's Mansion'!"

Hearing Li Ji's words, Liu Rong couldn't help showing a little astonishment.

Liu Rong never thought that his mother's malice towards Liu's whoring was actually based on such a seemingly clever, but in fact extremely stupid consideration...
Worried, he raised his head and saw that his mother was not only not aware of his mistake, but also a little complacent. Liu Rong wanted to speak, but finally gave up.

——Right now, Liu Rong can't count on his mother Li Ji who has been addicted to the dream of "I will be the queen mother in the future" for everything.

If he wants to hold his own destiny in his own hands, Liu Rong can only rely on himself...
