The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 134: A Contest Between Men

But Si Nan didn't think so. He thought that if you were not favored, even if you were the Crown Princess, what would it matter? "Qin Ye... I will remember you. Don't worry, I won't let you go. I will let you know how pitiful it is to be out of favor in the mansion."

"Brother, don't do anything reckless... Go back to your landlord and have a rest, and don't provoke him in the future..." Si Qi was afraid that his brother would do something reckless and offend the prince's concubine in front of him.

"Brother...are you my brother or his brother? Why do you sound like him in every sentence you say? I tell you, brother, if you help me, it will be fine. If you don't help me, then I will do it myself. If I become the Crown Princess one day in the future, don't come and beg me..." Si Nan flicked his sleeves in dissatisfaction and left.

Si Qi was helpless, thinking about this brainless brother. If he continued to make trouble like this, he would be kicked out of the Prince's Mansion at best, and his father's family would be implicated at worst. His father wanted to be promoted... It was good enough that he was not dismissed.

"My lady...what should we do? The Second Young Master is always like this, not considering the reasons. In fact, everything you said is for his own good. Even if the Crown Prince's concubine is not favored, his father is a first-rank official, and we dare not offend him. And he is a low-key person now, and no one can find fault with him. What should we do? Is it good..." The one who spoke was the servant that Si Qi brought in to take care of him. He was very young, about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was sold when he was five years old, and he has been with Si Qi all the time, and he is very filial and loyal to Si Qi.

Si Qi was very smart and very intelligent. He and Si Nan were both born out of wedlock. They had a legitimate brother named Si Yuan. Si Yuan was well-educated, respectful and courteous, and was a Jinshi.

However, he was envied by his two half-brothers, and their father favored his concubine over his wife, and only favored the concubine and ignored his own wife. In the end, he poisoned his wife to death, and after his wife died, he made the concubine his wife. When Si Yuan returned home, his mother had passed away, and he was just a scholar and there was nothing he could do. He knew in his heart that there must be a certain reason for his mother's death, and it was not a real death. But his father had already made his aunt his wife, and now the aunt is the head of the family. Not long after, he was driven out, and now his whereabouts are unknown.

Although Si Qi and his mother had defeated his brother and stepmother, this was the prince's mansion, not like home. At home, your father would make decisions for you. But here, you had to rely on yourself for everything. And he knew that the prince would not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.

"I advised dad not to let my brother enter the mansion. But my brother has been loved by mother and dad since he was a child. If he continues to make trouble like this, he will die without knowing how. I will not take care of him anymore. In the mansion... I can protect him in everything, but here he can only rely on himself. If he still relies on his petty tricks, it will not be a pity even if he dies." Si Qi took good care of this younger brother in the mansion. Although their mother loved her two sons, she loved this younger brother more and favored him. She would find him for any good things. He paved the way for himself, so-called defeating his legitimate brother and overthrowing his legitimate mother.

His mother always pushed him to the front, and sometimes he felt sorry for his legitimate brother Si Yuan. He didn't know how Si Yuan lived. Since his mother passed away, his father didn't love him, and his aunt regarded him as a troubled person... She made things difficult for him everywhere. He was also beaten by his father. This is really pitiful. A legitimate son has not yet, but he, a son born out of wedlock, has a position in the mansion.

Whether in Beili, Sichao or Yuchao, everyone pays attention to the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and legitimate children are always superior to illegitimate children. Unexpectedly, their family has completely changed, and their father favors his concubine and ignores his wife, and the illegitimate child has even surpassed the legitimate child. This is still tit for tat.

Before I came, my father and mother repeatedly told me to take good care of my younger brother and to find a way to make him favored. This is simply a huge joke, asking me to help my younger brother get the favor of His Highness. This is what my biological father and biological mother asked me to do. Mother, father, have you ever thought that I am also your biological son, and your son will also feel heartbroken. What should I do? He had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to do. Should he find a way to overthrow the prince's concubine? Let his brother sit in this position? But based on his brother's virtue, can his brother achieve the position of the prince's concubine? Being a concubine is already a great honor for his ancestors.

Sang Ning was quietly listening to his inner thoughts behind the rockery. This must have made Si Qi's heart very commanding. But what he was thinking just now was that their father favored his concubine and killed his mother. He also drove away his son. Is he worthy of living like this?

Sang Ning looked back at Shen Yan. Although Shen Yan did not hear what the other party said, he heard their conversation. If such a father was discovered in Si Chao, he would be charged with the crime of confiscating the family property. Si Chao valued favoring concubines over wives, so the people in Si Chao did not dare to favor concubines over wives.

Even though Sang Ning was a very bad person in his previous life, Shen Yan did not marry her again. He knew that if he married someone else, Sang Ning might kill him. So he would rather not marry again in his life.

He also didn't want Sang Ning to harm those innocent women. Shen Yan, of course, understood what Sang Ning meant. Sang Ning wanted him to investigate the background of these two people. What was going on?

It has only been a short time since she became the crown prince, but her harem is already restless. And there are only a few people here? One does not compete for favor, but only wants a position. The other one wants to compete for favor, and it seems that she wants to harm others.

"Zi Su... go find Qin Ye and ask her to come see me..." Sang Ning couldn't let these things happen. Qin Ye was the most powerful person in Xiandai Mansion, so he could only let Qin Ye take charge temporarily.

Qin Ye had just returned to his own Liqiu Garden when the maid came to call him, saying that the prince wanted to see him. He hurried over to the prince again.

Sang Ning was drinking tea in the room at this time. He raised his eyes and looked at Qin Ye in front of him.

"It's been five days since you came into the mansion. Have you had a good rest these days?"

Qin Ye didn't know what happened. Why did the prince ask this?

"Your Highness...I have had a good rest these past few days."

Sang Ning nodded. "By the way, I want to ask you, can you write? Your father is my teacher, so writing shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"Yes... I have been familiar with poetry and literature since I was young. There is no problem with writing."

"Okay... I'll tell you a poem, and you write it down for me."

The water of Chu is as clear as the sky, and the distant river connects to the blue sea.

People are thousands of miles apart, but the joy lies in one cup.

Birds sing in the valley on a sunny day, and the river source smiles in the evening breeze.

I have never shed tears in my life, but I cry endlessly over this.

Qin Ye was also a scholar. His father was the prime minister, so he was quite familiar with poetry. He also knew that the prince loved poetry. When she was in the court, she was known as the most talented woman in the court. The prince was really amazing. She could compose poetry as soon as she opened her mouth.

Before I came to the Prince's Mansion, my father had asked me to read more in the past few months. My father said that if I wanted to talk to the Prince, I had to read. It was impossible to get the Prince's favor, but I had to understand the Prince's hobbies and develop according to his hobbies. Only in this way could I talk to the Prince. Just let the Prince know that I had this person.
