On the Zhongyuan Festival in previous years, the emperor would take the royal family to the Taimiao to worship. On this year's Zhongyuan Festival, due to the emperor's health, Leng Yu and the Minister of Rites decided to worship directly in the Royal Ancestral Hall and the Saint Pavilion.

The worship ceremony was not too complicated, and there were few people in the royal family. In addition to Leng Yu's family and Leng Ming, Yu Qiaoqiao also brought Xiaobao, which is some concubines in the palace.

After the worship, everyone retreated. The emperor ordered Leng Yu and Leng Ming to stay. He sat in front of them and looked at his two sons standing with their hands down and breathed a sigh of relief.

"When I went to Taimiao to worship my ancestors, there were many people from other families. I felt that the royal family was prosperous. But this time I was worshiping my ancestors in the Shengxian Pavilion. I suddenly felt a little worried when I looked at these children. If this continues, the royal bloodline will probably be broken. Therefore, I ordered you brothers to marry a few more concubines, and to give birth to a few more children for the royal family. There are also Leng Ming. Tomorrow, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to start looking for a marriage for you and find a few more villas. The official concubine and the concubine will marry each other. Our Leng family must have a prosperous family."

Regarding what the emperor suddenly said, Leng Yu's eyebrows and eyes instantly twisted into a knot.

He clasped his fists and replied simply:

"Father, the son minister's house already has three children..."

"Where are three children enough? Besides, only two of the three children are yours, or are they born in the same child. Go back and ask Luo Lan if you are willing to have another child? If you are willing, the marriage of a concubine can be suspended. If you are not willing, then I will let the Ministry of Rites find a suitable candidate. If you are not good, you can take Luo Lan's sister Liu Luoxue as your concubine!"

These words not only shocked Leng Yu, but also made Leng Ming's face instantly gloomy.

Leng Yu saw the sudden change in Leng Ming's face and hurriedly explained.

"Father, Liu Luoxue is Lan'er's real sister, and Erchen also regards her as his real sister. You should not mess with each other..."

"Then you let Liu Luolan have a few more children, otherwise the palace will be very deserted in the future..."

Leng Yu held his forehead helplessly, Leng Ming snorted lightly,

"The father is in a strong state, why don't the concubines give birth to more?"

His words made the emperor's face suddenly become gloomy. He stared at Leng Ming with his eyes and pointed at him and asked angrily:

"Are you talking to your father? You are really lawless. What disappoints me the most now is you. Your mother's character is problematic. She has not disciplined you well since she was a child, so you became a person who is no different from a useless person. I have wanted to give you a marriage several times, but you are not sure. What do you want to do? Do you want to become a eunuch like Liu Xi?"

The emperor said ruthlessly, and Leng Ming was so angry that his face was bulging. The father not only said that his mother's fault, but also said that he was a useless man in front of Leng Yu, and said that he wanted to be a eunuch. How could he not be angry?

The fists in his sleeves were clenched tightly, and he was about to get angry to defend himself. Leng Yu knew Leng Ming's thoughts towards Luo Xue, so he was busy trying to smooth things over.

"Father, don't worry about Ming'er's marriage. Maybe he already has a sweetheart in his heart, but it's not convenient to say it out now, and it will satisfy you at that time."

"Sweetheart? Humph, a woman who is not a good family cannot marry into the royal family. Who can like him? Besides, a royal family has the principle of choosing a lover? If you don't have any skills, you have a lot of ideas. I think he is just an A Dou who can't help him. He is idle all day and does nothing. You really disappoint me."

When the emperor saw Leng Ming, he thought of his mother, Concubine Chang, the woman who made him dislike the most. Therefore, his anger towards Concubine Chang was vented for no reason on Leng Ming.

"Haha! My father was disappointed with me? Where did this come from? When did my father have hope for me? From childhood to adulthood, you have never looked at me with an eye. Everything I did was wrong. Since I was beaten up, you have summoned me at a handful of times. You said that my mother did not teach me well. At least she had accompanied me in my childhood. Even if she had ten thousand mistakes, she was my mother. She was the one who gave birth to me and raised me, and the woman who had slept with you. Now she was ruthlessly locked up in the cold palace. You didn't let me see her. I was unknown whether she was alive or dead. Are you still slandering her? You also disappointed me..."

"You are arrogant..."

While the emperor was furious, he patted the armrest of the chair heavily. Because of his anger, his chest kept rising and falling. Seeing this, Liu Xi hurried forward and patted his back lightly while comforting him.

"Your Majesty calms down. Your body has not recovered yet, so you can't get angry."

The emperor gasped for a few heavy breaths, pointed at Leng Ming, and scolded fiercely:

"Get out of the palace, don't let me see you again."

Leng Ming glanced at him, narrowed his eyes slightly, pulled the corner of his mouth, sneered disdainfully, then shook his sleeves and turned around and left.

His father's words today really made him angry.

When he walked out of the gate of the Saint Sage Pavilion, he suddenly sneered in self-deprecatingly.

It was originally a waste of Leng Yu, but now he was insulted by his father like this. It seems that he is idle and idle, and it is not easy to take it off.

He looked at the sky, raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, and suddenly missed his mother very much, and didn't know how she was doing.

I don’t know when I will be in the palace next time. I might as well take this opportunity to see my mother, at least I know if she is doing well.

Thinking of this, he clenched his fists tightly and walked forward with big strides.

The cold palace is in the most remote place in the palace. The people living here are all concubines who have made mistakes. Those who come here will have their destiny in the end.

Leng Ming had already found out where to detain his mother, but he just didn't dare to see her.

When he came here with heavy steps, he looked at the locked door and felt a little more melancholy.

At this moment, a scream came from inside. He frowned and listened carefully. It was the voice of his mother.

"I don't eat it anymore. The steamed buns are rotten, the soup has become odorless, and the dish has not even had oily fishy food. How can I eat it? I've eaten enough of these pig food all day long. Take these things to feed the dogs."

"You really don't eat it? Then I really feed the dog. I told you a long time ago that you are no longer Concubine Chang. You are the abandoned concubine who was sent to the cold palace. The emperor has long forgotten you. I am only unlucky and was arranged to guard you, a living dead man. Humph! If you hadn't given birth to a son for the emperor, you would have killed you long ago. How could you still be alive? You don't eat it yet, don't eat it, don't eat it, don't eat it!"

As he spoke, the girl stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Chang's chin tightly, stuffed a piece of steamed bun into her mouth, and laughed hatefully while stuffing it:

"If you don't eat, I'll serve you..."

"Hahaha……"

"Mmmmmmmmmmm..."

The sound from the yard made Leng Ming's heart twist into a knot. He patted the door hard and scolded loudly.
