Chu Hongyi was the youngest among them, and every time, he would join Chu Jingxiao in grabbing for Chu Yunshen to take them.

Sometimes Chu Hongyi can't snatch Chu Jingxiao but will still cry, in the end still have to Chu Yunshen and Chu Jingxiao two people together to coax him in order to be good.

At that time Chu Jingxiao and Chu Hongyi did not understand that some things had already been predetermined, and they were all just pawns after being arranged by fate.

The great hand of fate pushes them forward, manipulating their every move, making them irresistible.

Just like Chu Yunshen obviously loved to bring Chu Hongyi to play more every time, just like Chu Jingxun obviously also wanted to befriend Chu Hongyi, but he was always chastised by Zhao Guifei because of the crybaby Chu Hongyi.

At that time, Noble Consort Zhao had already ordered Chu Jingxiao not to allow contact with Chu Yunshen and Chu Hongyi, and even more so, Chu Jingxiao was not allowed to look for the two of them to play with, and was especially not allowed to play with Chu Hongyi.

Chu Jingxiao did not know why at first, the age is still small, he also thought it was because he made Chu Hongyi cry every time, mother consort is also biased to help Chu Hongyi just.

Thinking about it this way Chu Jingxiao was still angry about this for a long time, why even his mother consort had to help Chu Hongyi.

Since everyone is favoring Chu Hongyi, then he will let some more good, originally Chu Jingxiao also did not bully Chu Hongyi ah, it is not his own love of crying.

But it was good to know that there was one person in the world who believed in him and would spoil him and not chastise him.

That would be their father, Chu Hongzhen.

Chu Hongzhen has always disliked Chu Yunshen, for Chu Hongyi is also quite cold, the only treatment Chu Jingxiao will care constantly.

Even when Chu Hongyi cried and complained to Chu Hongzhen, Chu Hongzhen only frowned and said that Chu Hongyi shouldn't be so old and still cry, instead of reprimanding Chu Jingxiao.

Naive as Chu Jingxiao, he then thought that Chu Hongzhen is only love him alone.

As for Chu Hongyi and the others, although they had other people to love them, Chu Jingxiao had the biggest backer in this world to back him up, wouldn't it be much more dignified than them.

Until that day when that happened, and his whole life has changed since then.

The weather that day was supposed to be dreary, with dark clouds, and it looked like there might be a rainstorm.

When he and Chu Hongyi were playing, Chu Hongyi wanted to grab his toy, he didn't use much force on his hands, but Hongyi actually fell down on his own and cracked his hand.

When Chu Hongyi covered his injured hand and went to find Chu Hongzhen, who was still in the Linder Hall, Chu Hongzhen was playing chess with Princess Su at the time.

Chu Hongyi ran very quickly and quickly, Yuan Qing was unable to react when he rushed in, or Chu Hongzhen's guards stopped Chu Hongyi.

"Oooh ...... father, mother ...... mother consort"

Chu Hongyi originally hand wounds on the hot and spicy pain, was guards with a knife to stop after more aggrieved snot and slobber.

Hearing that it was Chu Hongyi's voice, Chu Hongzhen was shouting at the guards:

"Rise and shine! Ungrateful thing!"

As the guards shied away, Chu Hongyi's wrinkled little face was finally revealed.

Su noble consort has long been heartbroken a Chu Hongyi into the arms, Chu Hongzhen also frowned face instantly low.

"What's going on?"

Yuan Qing also hasn't figured out what's going on yet, he was hesitating on how to open his mouth, Chu Hongyi instead huffed and puffed on his own and said the reason: "Father, Yi'er's hand is broken, it hurts."

Speaking Chu Hongyi red eyes will be his still bleeding hand out, only his hand has not reached Chu Hongzhen in front of the Su Guifei exclaimed to help in front of his face:

"Yi'er what's wrong with you? Quickly announce the Imperial Doctor!"

Meanwhile, Chu Jingxiao, who knew he had made a mistake, had been standing right at the side entrance of the Hall of Lin De hesitating to go in.

Hearing Noble Consort Su's questioning, Chu Jingxiao nervously clenched his fists.

It was good that Chu Hongyi stammered for half a day and did not give up Chu Jingxiao's name, and only then did Chu Jingxiao slowly let out a breath of relief.

But Chu Hongyi's appearance was clearly aggrieved, pouting his lips in a sullen manner.

Su Guifei and Chu Hongzhen took turns asking for a while before finally latching on to Chu Hongyi's words, while Chu Jingxun outside the door became even more entangled.

Princess Su's lips hemmed and hawed for a moment as she was about to open her mouth, but she was interrupted by the eunuch who hurriedly arrived.

The speed of the Imperial Doctor to deal with the wound is very fast, although the hand is very light, but Chu Hongyi is still in pain and wowed again.

Every time he cries, Chu Hongzhen's eyes will be more severe one point, scared the eunuch's body is shivering, but the hand movement does not dare to hesitate.

Su Guifei, on the other hand, has been beside the sobbing and crying non-stop, Chu Jingxiong outside the temple are tired of hearing, Chu Hongzhen but has been in a low voice to comfort her.

Until long after the eunuch had left, Princess Su's cries in the Linder Hall did not stop.

Chu Jingxiao also knew that if he didn't go in now and wait, he was afraid that the situation would be even more serious, just as he was planning to take the first brave step, Su Guifei in the Linder Hall opened her mouth:

"His Majesty won't punish the Eighth Prince this time either, right?"

Noble Consort Su's voice sounded so mournful, just like the voice of Chu Hongzhen every time he asked Yuanqing to tell Noble Consort Zhao that His Majesty was not coming to Shufang Palace today, and when Noble Consort Zhao answered Yuanqing.

Chu Hongzhen inside the room did not speak for a long time, and a door away Chu Jingxun because he heard Su Guifei mention his name also nervous to raise his heart.

However, Chu Jingxiao was still comforting himself in his mind, after all, his father favored him the most, everyone else was incomparable, and this time, he thought that there wouldn't be anything big.

As expected, Chu Hongzhen's voice finally came from inside the Lin De Palace:

"Aife, you know me. Old Eight, he, cannot be punished."

Chu Jingxiao was satisfied to hear these words and was about to push open the door to secretly give Chu Hongzhen a surprise, but after hearing Chu Hongzhen's next words, he directly froze in place.

"Hongyi is still too young, how can I blatantly favor him, that would only push Hongyi above the wind and waves."

What do you mean, 'Hiroshi is still too young'?

Also, why is Chu Hongyi so young that his father can't explicitly favor him?

No, shouldn't Father favor me the most?

At that time, Chu Jingxiao did not yet have such a flexible brain and a bellyful of city mind, so he simply could not react to what Chu Hongzhen's words actually implied.

All he knew was that Chu Hongzhen's words didn't seem to be any good, and his brain was telling himself not to continue listening further, but his legs were not listening to him, and he just stood still and refused to move his position.

Chu Hongzhen inside the Linder Hall was still comforting the sobbing Su Guifei, the tone was a gentleness that Chu Jingxiao had never heard before, the kind of gentleness that Chu Hongzhen would never show to Zhao Guifei:

"It is also for the sake of our Yi'er that I have deliberately favored Jingxiao, allowing him to help distract those outsiders from Yi'er. How can I spare to let Yi'er suffer? After all, he is the prince that I love the most, and in the future, I will have to make him the crown prince!"

If it was said that before Chu Hongzhen's words Chu Jingxiao might not have been able to understand much, but these few sentences he was considered to have thoroughly understood.

That day the sky is not beautiful, Chu Jingxiao from the linde hall back when the sky falls heavy rain, wait for him to the Shufang Palace body has all wet, can not help but be Zhao Guifei a scolding.

Zhao Guifei scolded while wiping Chu Jingxiao's head, not knowing how he came back Chu Jingxiao finally couldn't help but cry out.

Since that day, Chu Jingxiao seemed to have grown up overnight.

No longer seen him and Chu Hongyi they play together, weekdays is also to Chu Hongyi can avoid.

As for Chu Hongzhen, Chu Jingxiao is as dependent as ever.

Just what exactly was hidden behind this dependence, I'm afraid that only Chu Jingxiao himself knew.

The days passed by unhurriedly, the teenager Chu Jingxiao grew into the current youth Chu Jingxiao, and the small child who would originally still cry over the playfulness also became the father of several children.

Today's Chu Jingxiao is growing in power in the dynasty, and over the years those ministers have mistakenly thought that Chu Hongzhen is genuinely favoring Chu Jingxiao, and that Chu Jingxiao is the right choice for the future crown prince.

So everyone was sucking up to him and pleasing him, even Chu Hongyi, who was really loved by Chu Hongzhen, couldn't fight him.

Chu Jingxiao withdrew the pain in his eyes, and thinking of what he had accomplished today, he finally revealed a vicious smile.

"Now that your father's love for His Highness King Xuan is becoming more and more obvious, if this continues I fear that soon the ministers in the court will also be aware of it."

Noble Consort Su sat on Chu Jingxiao's side with a sad face.

"So what if you find out, so what if you ware fourteen?"

Chu Jingxiao coldly narrowed his narrow eyes, and the upward curvature of the corners of his mouth widened by a few points.

"This Palace's foolish son, the dynasty is full of people who tend to the trend, the Emperor's winds fall to whichever side they naturally fall to."

Zhao Guifei worriedly looked at Chu Jingxiao's handsome face, her bitter tone of voice hated to immediately shout to wake up Chu Jingxiao whose attitude was pointless at this time.

"Mother consort need not worry, before paving the way for Hongyi father will not treat me coldly, neither will the ministers in the court."

Chu Jingxiao's fingers rested on the desktop and tapped once, making a muffled ringing sound.

"How come you don't know how to be in a hurry? Could it be that after so many years you still don't know your father's true character?"

Noble Consort Zhao sighed rather helplessly and shook her head in great disapproval of Chu Jingxiao's words.

"Father's heart, my son knew it well years ago, but now it is up to him."

Talking about these Chu Jingxiao looked like he thought of something again, his hand that lightly knocked on the desktop suddenly shrunk and clenched hard into a fist.

"What do you mean by that? Are you hiding something from Mother Consort?"

Zhao Guifei for their own this son is more and more can not see through, she knows Chu Jingxiao has the ability, also has the ambition, for Chu Jingxiao those things are also know some of, just do not know Chu Jingxiao this time and have what new idea.

Chu Jingxiao did have something to hide from Noble Consort Zhao, and it was more than one thing.

For example, those secret deployments of his, those soldiers and horses that he had been raising for many years, and the private wealth that far exceeded the imagination of Zhao Guifei.

But these since can not be said, Chu Jingxiao know Zhao Guifei is truly love Chu Hongzhen, even if she made so many things, for their own sake also for Chu Jingxiao, but she never wanted to step out of that step ......

As for Chu Jingxiao, he naturally did not want to force Chu Hongzhen to abdicate.

But if he really needed to do so, he would naturally do it anyway.

So no matter which reason it was for, it was better to keep these things away from Noble Consort Zhao for the time being.

But other things didn't have much of an impact, Chu Jingxiao's heart moved, "Mother consort look at what is this?"

Chu Jingxiao did not hide anything from Noble Consort Zhao, he stopped selling out and pulled out a small white porcelain bottle from his own bosom.
