Chapter 1097 Chapter 1097: Palace Change (Part 1) [Asking for monthly votes]
Snapped!
The crisp slaps stunned both mother and son.
Mi is a female family member of the inner house. She has been pampered and pampered in recent years and has been taken care of by her maids in her daily life. How much strength can she have? The slap she received when she lost control of her emotions was not serious to an ordinary person, let alone her son who was practicing hard to replenish his martial spirit? His face didn't hurt, but his son's heart hurt. He couldn't believe it: "You hit me? Just because I wanted to fight, you hit me regardless of the friendship between mother and son?"
Mi Shi came back to her senses and stared blankly at her red palms.
Facing her son's questioning, she endured her heartache and changed from her usual gentle and docile demeanor: "I beat you for my mother, not because you want to fight with others, but because you despise your own life! I gave birth to you in ten months of pregnancy just for this purpose." Are you asking for a 'collapse' way of death?"
At the end of the sentence, she burst into tears.
Tears streaming down her cheeks blurred her delicate makeup.
This is the first time since his memory that his son saw Mi crying in front of him. His first reaction was that he was distressed and wanted to say something soft and apologize. These thoughts only lasted for a moment, and he swallowed back the words rolling in his throat, extremely irritated: "Auntie, you are a housewife who doesn't understand anything at all... Death is different between people, living in a cowardly way , it would be better to die vigorously. What does one life mean?"
All the son's words put together did not have a greater impact on Mi than the first sentence. It was so big that her tears stopped and she looked at her son in shock. She really didn't understand. She didn't understand when her son, who had always been filial and obedient, had the idea of despising her. Like his father Wu Xian, he despised the wisdom of the housewife.
Even though Mi followed Wu Xian very early and gave birth to two sons and two daughters, Wu Xian did not like her to teach the children personally. When her children grow up to be six years old, they will be sent to the front yard. Those who have no talent for cultivation will go to school, and those who have talent for cultivation will follow the masters and martial arts masters hired with large sums of money to practice and study, from the end of the sky until the second watch. Mother and son spend less and less time together.
Now we can only see them every day at dawn and dusk.
Maybe it was because there was too little communication. Her impression of several children, especially the eldest son in front of her, still remained when they were young.
Their mother and son depended on each other in the back house.
She works hard to protect her children, and they are filial and dependent on her.
I never thought that this sentence would come out of a child's mouth.
“You must fight for this way of death?”
She really didn’t understand her son’s thoughts.
Mi's words made her son furious: "How to die? Are you sure that I will lose? If you don't want to fight, forget it, but if I want to fight, I have to stop you? You gave birth to me in ten months of pregnancy. You took my life, but it doesn’t mean that I have to live my life like a puppet according to your wishes. You think it’s enough to live, but have you ever thought about whether I want to be a dwarf for the rest of my life?”
Since you were born humble, you can only survive by bowing your head?
Preceded by the two sons of the former queen.
Their mother was of noble birth, and they themselves were legitimate sons. On the other hand, my mother was a dancer, so as a commoner, I was really not qualified to compete with them. In order to make life easier for myself and my mother-in-law, I have been warm-hearted and cold-hearted to them all these years, always being submissive, always smiling, and never feeling the slightest bit resentful.
Finally managed to kill them, but in the end, the youngest who was only six months old plucked the fruit! Will I have to nod and bow to the youngest in the future? Why? Just ask why? Why can't he fight?
The position fell to the youngest, but he refused to accept it!
Mi looked at her son who was a complete stranger, as if she was meeting him for the first time: "You, you are crazy, you are crazy!"
The son said: "My son has never been crazy."
He looked at Mi with a somewhat disappointed look.
“It’s just that you never understood your son.”
After saying this, he turned around and left without hesitation.
Mi hurriedly chased him out, only to see his figure disappearing at the end of the corridor. This scene drained all her strength. She slid down the door frame and collapsed on the ground. She didn't even know when her second son appeared: "Auntie, why are you sitting here?"
Seeing Mi's makeup stained by tears, he quickly called the palace maid to take her to wash up: "My son has heard about the fourth brother's matter."
“Your fourth brother asked you to come?”
Mi has a way of taking care of her servants.
No one dares to spread the word about what happened in the palace.
The second son said: "Well, the fourth brother said that he lost control of his emotions and said harsh words. Mom, the fourth brother actually has his own difficulties."
Mi looked at the haggard person in the mirror without saying a word.
The second son continued: "My father has many heirs, and all the concubine brothers are close in age. How can there be no conflicts in private? The fourth brother suffered a lot of secret losses in the past, and he didn't say anything because he was worried that my mother would be distressed. My son also understands why the fourth brother wants to I want to climb up the ladder and become a master, but I really don’t want to live a life of looking at other people’s faces and looking up to them. My two brothers who are full-blooded brothers are dead, and the remaining brothers are all brothers-in-law, so why are they not qualified to compete for the top position?”
The strength of the maternal clan and the origin of the biological mother can only be regarded as bargaining chips. Their real capital is still the status of "son of Wu Xian". The starting point of the brothers is actually the same. However, their mother-in-law has always been cautious. Even though she holds the power of the inner court, she is still polite to everyone she meets. It seems that anyone can squat on their head and shit.
Being gentle is not a bad thing, but you cannot be gentle to everyone.
Not only that, he also reminded his brothers and sisters to be respectful over and over again.
This word is a joke in the old Wu family.
Forget it if you are brothers from the same mother, how can you be respectful to other concubine brothers across the belly? You think of them as brothers and sisters, but they only think of you as the offspring of a dancing girl.
I don’t understand anything and I like to preach over and over again.
As time went by, the fourth brother naturally became rebellious.
Mishi: “…”
She really didn’t know about her son being bullied.
“…but you are all your father’s children…”
The second son sighed and held out a palm: "Mom, not counting those who died young and have no descendants, I have fifty-three brothers and sisters. The first few children are still rare by him, but the later ones can only see him once a year. ? As a biological father, you don’t pay so much attention to it, let alone those servants who follow the wind and steer the ship?”
Some things will be lost if we don’t fight for them.
If you don't stay calm, things will fall from the sky.
Some of what Fourth Brother said was a bit extreme and unpleasant, but they were truly from the bottom of his heart, and they were all the grievances he had suffered over the years. Mrs. Mi found that her second son was also a stranger: "The question is, is it worth it? The country of Gao is in turmoil, and your father has been defeated and captured. How long can the country of Gao... be able to hold on? For the sake of a worthless reputation, you risk your own life. Is life really worth it?”
The second son looked into her eyes and gave an affirmative answer.
“Aniang, it’s worth it.”
“Because this is what fourth brother is pursuing.”
“For Fourth Brother, this position above ten thousand people is worth it even if he can only sit for one day. Why don’t you fulfill it?”
It’s not that they can’t see Gao’s domestic and foreign problems.
However, even if you are the leader of a subjugated country, it is still a height that many mediocre people cannot reach in their entire life. Not everyone cherishes life so much. Some people can give up their dignity in order to live, but there are also people who can give up their lives in order to live.
The fourth brother’s dignity lies in the throne.
Mi Shi completely broke down and cried after hearing this.
After crying, my swollen brain calmed down. She calmly wiped away her tears and suppressed her heartache: "I know it for my mother. Come here, pass my order and ask Wang Fangyi to come and discuss important matters."
Second son: “Aniang?”
Mi Shi: "Don't you want to fight?" This sentence directly made the second son unable to ask.
“I really want to…”
He found that Mi's eyes had lost their former kindness and gentleness, and became deep and dark, so pure that no emotion could be seen at all.
Mi suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and said resolutely: "Since we want to fight, let's take advantage of today. When the position of the youngest is confirmed in court tomorrow, it would be treason if you want to fight again. How many courtiers are willing to support? Do it tonight, Just right."
Rebellion, palace change.
Although they don't have many people, she has an advantage. The entire inner court is her home court. The biological mothers of those **** can easily become hostages. With these people in hand, they can make other people use their weapons. As long as the inner court is controlled first, then the people from the outer court can be combined to suppress the news. Tomorrow's meeting will be the final word.
“Your father’s decision to give the throne to the youngest child was definitely not his own idea. If the two countries failed in the conflict, and then a young master who knows nothing is promoted to the throne, how can the subjects sleep peacefully?”
It's hard to say whether a six-month-old child will grow up.
Now it’s the second son’s turn to deal with it.
“Aniang…”
Mrs. Mi thought to herself: "Wang Fangyi is the biological mother of the new mistress. When the new mistress ascends the throne, she will be the Queen Mother. All the sisters in the palace will look up to her in the future. There is nothing wrong with trying to please her in advance. Especially those who are young and have not yet given birth to children. …”
It’s okay to have children, but being a widow is also a widow with children.
Others are left alone, widows.
As a concubine, she cannot go home and can only stay in the palace until she grows old.
Mi's quick and decisive manner, and with the help of her sister, she arranged the banquet in just half a day. Most of the concubines in the palace had no news and received no news from the outer court. Mi Shi was also kind to others and did not doubt the nature of the banquet. Most of them replied to the letter and kept the appointment. The few concubines who had received the news were worried, but they did not dare to conflict with Mi at this juncture.
They have support from their mother clan, but this support is separated by many palace walls. If there is really danger, they cannot come immediately.
Not everyone is willing to deal with Mi.
Some senior people just found excuses to refuse.
“Something’s not right.” Worried that something had changed, they wanted to send a message to the outer court, but in the end they couldn’t even open the palace door. After a lot of trouble, I found out that the palace door was locked from the outside, and there were people guarding all the exits. As if they were going to put people under house arrest, some people went crazy and said, "Bastard—who allowed you to do this?"
“You woo woo—”
Their yelling and cursing suddenly stopped.
Mei Jinghe only had a sneer left.
Controlling the inner court is not troublesome. The troublesome thing is how to control the palace guards quietly without alerting other forces in the outer court. Mi has shown favors everywhere in recent years, and has also helped many poor families to intercede. Although she is not very powerful, she can come in handy at critical moments.
Looking at the inner court that seemed to be the same as usual, but in fact there was an undercurrent surging, Qi Cang was speechless and said: "If you ask me, your cheap sister is more promising and smarter than her child. Look, it is the first time to carry out a palace coup. Just make it look presentable.”
Various processes are orderly and don’t look like a novice.
Mei Mengdao: "She is a smart woman."
During this period of contact, Mei Meng discovered that Mi has a toughness in his bones. This person looks gentle as water on the surface, but as hard as iron in his bones! Really soft on the outside but strong on the inside! It's a pity that Mi's environment is so bad, and she has a son with a lofty ideal beside her, so she is destined to be dragged down! However, all this has nothing to do with Mei Meng. She only cares about one thing now -
Looking at the nearly full moon in the sky, she murmured.
"here we go!"
It was stormy outside, but the inner court was bustling.
Wu Xian, the concubines and female relatives, are the least beautiful in appearance. They are thin and fat, and they are more delicate than flowers. Although she didn't deliberately dress up to go out, her silk and satin dress still shone brightly. When the guests were almost here, the more attentive ones among them noticed that today's seating arrangement was a bit strange. Why was Wang Fangyi's position moved to the front? Was it because the palace officials were careless and made a mistake?
No one corrected me until the banquet started.
This is intriguing.
What’s even more strange is that Wang Fangyi didn’t show up until the banquet started.
Mi: "Wang Fangyi just sent someone over, saying that the child suddenly had a high fever at noon and refused to drink the nurse's milk. She had been guarding the child and had no intention of coming over."
This is true.
The people sent by the Mi family were still stopped outside.
Obviously, Wang Fangyi also knew the news that Wu Xian had given the Zen throne to her son. The unexpected joy left her no time to grieve for Wu Xian. When she heard that Mi invited her over, she immediately made an excuse to refuse, preparing to survive the two days safely.
Mishi didn’t force it either.
The other concubines didn’t think anything was wrong.
At present, medical technology is not high, and the infant mortality rate is also not low. Children as young as six months old are likely to die from a high fever. Everyone has given birth and understands the feeling of being a mother, so they also understand Wang Fangyi. Mi looked at everyone, smiled and ordered people to start the banquet.
It wasn’t until after three rounds of drinking that she announced the news about Wu Xian.
Many people are drunk.
Hearing this, I was so frightened that I suddenly woke up.
The sound of a wine glass hitting the table was heard one after another.
Mi didn’t seem to hear it.
“…Why is the inner court so quiet today?”
It should be time to update at this time.
That's right, I haven't heard the wake-up call today.
Not only was there no sound of the clock, but I couldn't even hear the sound of patrols.
Someone then murmured doubtfully.
“Quiet indeed, my Demonic Star is the most noisy...and he always bullies his brothers. Why are you so good today?”
Many concubines brought their children to the banquet.
Mi family has always advocated the concept of respect between brothers and friends, hoping that the princes, Wang and Ji of the same age can have more contact and play more, and the relationship will naturally become closer. Her proposal was strongly supported by Wu Xian, and the other concubines had no choice but to do it in order to please Wu Xian. If it happens frequently, they will take their children out without Mi's deliberate notification. The adults are in the main hall, while the children stay in the side hall and are attended to by dedicated people.
The older ones are fine, but the younger ones like to cry and fuss.
One cry will bring up a whole group of people.
Today—
They seem too quiet.

Ke Yi is fine when everything else is fine, but it’s annoying to have points and fines deducted.
