Chapter 211 Contradictory People

At that time, the Concubine Chen drove out all the servants around her, leaving only the crying little prince wrapped in swaddling clothes, squirming alone on the warm seat.

She walked lazily to the warm seat and sat down, looking down at the little prince.

The anger on his face disappeared, replaced by a kind smile, and he said in a gentle and soft tone:

"Little guy, why are you crying again? Oh, look at how pitiful you are. Don't cry, don't cry. I'll hug you, okay?"

She held the child in her arms somewhat clumsily, patted his back, and coaxed him softly.

"I know you are in pain, but you have to learn to be patient, right? You are your father's first son, and you have to be a man like your father. You also have to learn to be stronger and braver, understand?"

What can a two-month-old baby understand?

On the contrary, the more the Concubine Chen persuaded him, the harder he cried.

"Oh oh oh~ Don't cry, don't cry. I'll take you to fly high, okay?"

She lifted the little prince higher, shook him gently twice, and then slowly let him down.

The candlelight in the hall is warm, and the evening breeze outside the window is gentle.

She was such a rebellious woman, but she showed her gentle side to a baby who had no blood relationship with her.

The little prince seemed to be very smart. The wet nurses coaxed him as if they were just doing a job, and in comparison, they were not as attentive as the Concubine Chen.

As the Concubine Chen played with him, he gradually stopped crying, and soon he even smiled at her.

When he smiled, the wrinkles on his face became deeper, like wrinkled bark, which was not pretty at all.

But the Concubine Chen did not dislike him at all. Instead, she was happy because he smiled. She couldn't help but put her cheek close to him and touch his rough face.

"Don't cry, your father cares about me the most. When I am canonized as a noble concubine one day, when your father asks me what favor I want, I will ask your father to give you a name, okay?"

The child didn't understand what was said and just kept giggling.

Seeing him like this, Concubine Chen felt very sad.

She stroked his limp hair and said distressedly:

"You are pitiful. But if you follow me, I will never let you suffer any more injustice."

The little prince laughed louder and louder, and he took the initiative to reach out and grab the concubine's loose black hair.

Chen Fei listened to his laughter and couldn't help laughing.

But she laughed silently, for fear that others would hear her and think that she loved the child very much.

After all, as proud as she is, if the palace people knew that she liked the child born to Xiao Jingheng by another woman so much, she would be afraid that people would laugh at her behind her back.

Later, the little prince fell asleep quietly in her arms, and she gently placed him on the warm seat.

Then he walked to the door, cleared his throat, and said to the outside:

"This ugly thing has fallen asleep. Let the nurse take him away and don't let him get in my way."

The wet nurse quickly went in and picked up the baby. Before leaving, she heard the concubine say impatiently:

"If he cries again in the future and you can't comfort him, bring him to me. I won't let him act so unruly in front of me!"

The wet nurse responded weakly and hurriedly retreated with the little prince in her arms.

Seeing that Concubine Chen was still angry, Liu Yue advised:

"Why is your Majesty so angry with that little guy who is not worthy of the Emperor's eyes? If I were to ask you, your Majesty is kind-hearted. If you had sent him directly to the Summer Resort, wouldn't there be so much trouble?"

Concubine Chen rolled her eyes at her, "What? Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I dare not!" Liu Yue shook her head in fear, "It's good for your Majesty to keep him, and it will also make the emperor feel that your Majesty is virtuous. It seems that the emperor is going to give your Majesty the position of Imperial Concubine now. Now that the Queen has lost power and is not favored by the emperor, I think that when your Majesty safely gives birth to an heir in the future, the emperor will be very pleased and I am afraid that he will even promote your Majesty to the position of Imperial Concubine!"

The Concubine Chen's expression eased a little and said:

"It's almost September, and the weather is getting cooler. The Emperor's birthday is in half a month. How are the people in the six palaces preparing? Submit the list of gifts to me tomorrow. The Empress is incompetent, so I will take care of everything for the Emperor."

In the following half month, after a brief two-day hot autumn weather, the weather became completely cool.

During this period, Xiao Jingheng often stayed by Song Zhao's side. She was due in about ten days, so Xiao Jingheng naturally cared about her very much.

As for the Concubine Chen, Xiao Jingheng did not neglect her either. He still went to have dinner with her every two or three days.

But when it comes to favor, some of the newcomers have gradually emerged in the past few days.

That person was Rong Yue.

Xiao Jingheng seemed to like Rong Yue very much. He flipped her card three times in half a month, making her the top one.

Such a blessing is truly enviable to others.

But God's will is not always what we want.

Sometimes, a blessing that others envy may actually be bad luck to the person involved?
