Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 427 Confrontation

"I was raised by my mother when I was still a baby, before I knew human nature. I was not a half-baked mother and son like Concubine Yu and the third child.

Besides, you and Jingshu are healthy and safe. Do you want to use the rift between foster mother and son to suppress me? What is your basis? Is it just a fantasy? "

The eldest prince Qin Mingyu snorted lightly, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing an indifferent expression.

He stood up slowly, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

"My mother and I, in terms of motherly love and filial piety, although we are not biological children, our relationship is better than that of countless biological mothers and children in the world."

The eldest prince Qin Mingyu shook his head slightly.

"My mother thinks highly of my elder brother. He is filial to my mother. I cannot compare to him."

The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan's eyes dimmed and his shoulders slumped.

The eldest prince Qin Mingyu smiled and patted his twelfth brother on the shoulder. His laughter was filled with comfort and a hint of imperceptible pride. He said in a gentle voice, "Twelfth brother was born after ten months of pregnancy. How could my mother not love you and value you?"

"It's just that you are still young, so mother has been keeping you, the twelfth brother, and disciplining you strictly. This is because mother values ​​you. If you don't prune a sapling, how can it grow into a pillar of society?"

"And I, after all, was not born by Mother herself. I was born by Mother's former master, Imperial Concubine Rou. She shouldn't be too strict with me. How can you feel unfair about this?"

As a vested interest, the eldest prince Qin Mingyu could utter such high-sounding words without blushing or beating his heart.

Shunpin Shi Qingzhang was suppressing or disciplining his own twelfth prince Qin Mingfan. He was already an adult with a son and a daughter. How could he not understand?

The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan anxiously grabbed the hem of the eldest prince Qin Mingyu's clothes, shook his head violently, and choked up, "I, I dare not feel unfair to my mother."

Qin Mingfan was at a loss for words. After he finished speaking, his shoulders completely slumped and he was extremely discouraged.

He was hunched over, and his whole body seemed to be surrounded by an atmosphere of depression.

The eldest prince Qin Mingyu raised his hand and stroked the boy's hair, sighing with emotion, his attitude extremely gentle and amiable.

"You are still young, so it is normal that you cannot understand mother's painstaking efforts yet. It is your elder brother who is too harsh. He was also at your age."

A slap in the face to deny, then a sweet date to appease, using both soft and hard tactics, the eldest prince Qin Mingyu used this tactic very skillfully on his twelfth brother Qin Mingfan.

He took in the embarrassment of the twelfth prince Qin Mingfan, who stuttered and racked his brains to piece together a single word of explanation, and could only offer a dry rebuttal.

If the explanation was very flowery, he would start to suspect that his twelfth brother's previous words were all fabricated.

In order to take revenge on him, she instigated him to go against the queen mother's eldest son and daughter?

Fortunately, the twelfth brother is still as cowardly as ever, which is reassuring.

"When my elder brother was your age, he was even more rebellious than you, but he wasn't as repressed as you are. We are princes, and as long as we don't rebel, there is nothing we can do."

After the test, the eldest prince Qin Mingyu's words began to sound encouraging.

"No taboos?"

The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan's mouth opened slightly, his eyelashes trembled, and his cheeks were faintly flushed.

"Yes, there are no taboos."

The eldest prince Qin Mingyu said softly.

What he needs now is not a timid and submissive brother, but a brother who can fight for him. The twelfth brother needs to change his temperament.

The suppression he had just given to his twelfth brother was a test. It was both a habit and a last resort.

"Let's not talk about this. Alas, my eldest brother has always been respectful and filial to our mother and mother consort, and friendly and caring to his brothers and sisters. How can you say he is 'showing off'? Why would my ninth brother and second sister be dissatisfied with me and want to suppress me?"

The eldest prince Qin Mingyu frowned, lowered his eyes, and felt lost.

"I will naturally stand on the side of big brother." The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

"I know, otherwise, my twelfth brother would not have told me about the conspiracy between my ninth brother and the second princess." The eldest prince Qin Mingyu patted the twelfth prince Qin Mingfan on the shoulder and nodded.

"I don't want to hurt my ninth brother and second sister, or hurt my mother's heart, but..."

The eldest prince Qin Mingyu looked at the twelfth prince Qin Mingfan with expectations in his eyes.

"I know what you mean, brother. I will go find mother and ask her to persuade my ninth brother and second sister to give up the idea. Don't worry, brother. I will keep my mouth shut and will never let mother, my ninth brother and second sister know that you already know about this."

The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan pretended to have an idea and immediately stood up straight, his cheeks flushed and he was very excited.

The eldest prince Qin Mingyu held his brother's wrist and said, "Don't be impatient. If you do this, the queen mother will inevitably have a grudge against you, and the ninth brother and the second sister may not necessarily listen to the queen mother."

"What should I do?" The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan's spirit drooped again, "How can I help my elder brother?"
