After leaving the Imperial Hospital, the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince walked behind.
"Fourth brother, don't think you're ugly. You don't have much of an image in the eyes of the palace people anyway."
The Fourth Prince rolled his eyes at him and said, "Your current image isn't much better."
Luo'er is right, the pot calling the kettle black when you're fifty steps away.
The emperor stopped and looked at the two people who were whispering behind him.
"Since you are in the palace, go see your respective mothers."
The Fourth Prince and the Second Prince resisted in their hearts, but had no choice but to agree.
My hands are already bandaged, so when I go see my mother I have to find an excuse to explain why my hands are like this.
The emperor took Yu Yiluo to Concubine Xian's Zuihua Palace, but he did not see Concubine Xian. He then took Yu Yiluo back to the imperial study.
[Can't find mom? Hahaha, mom is playing with her sisters now.]
…
The second prince went to Concubine De's bedroom with his arm in a sling. As soon as he reached the door, he heard laughter coming from inside.
When the palace servants saw that it was the second prince, they took him in directly.
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince is here to see you."
Concubine De was fiddling with cards and said without looking up, "Send him away and tell him to come back another day."
She was unlucky today and lost a lot, and she only wanted to make up for it.
"But the Second Prince is here."
Concubine Rou and Concubine Xian, who were sitting next to Concubine De, paused when they heard this, and looked up to see the Second Prince standing not far from them.
Just as the game was over, Concubine De put down her cards to appease Concubine Xian and Concubine Rou.
"Don't be afraid, my two sisters. He wouldn't dare to say anything."
She had finally managed to get Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Rou interested in playing card games, but her son came to spoil their fun.
When she fought with the palace maids before, they were all cautious and she didn't enjoy the fight at all. It was more fun to fight with her sisters.
Second Prince: “…”
I really don't know how my mother arranged this plan to bring these people together.
"What happened?" Concubine De stood up and looked at the second prince whose arms were wrapped like dumplings, and asked in surprise.
The second prince replied: "I fell a little, but I'm fine."
Seeing that he was indeed fine, Concubine De sat back at the table.
"Since you're alright, you can help us keep the secret. I'm not very lucky today and have lost a lot."
A frown crossed the Second Prince's forehead, and he remembered that his father seemed to have gone to Zuihua Palace. He said, "It seems that my father took Luo'er to Zuihua Palace just now, and my fourth brother should have also gone to pay his respects to the Concubine Shu."
Concubine Xian stood up and said, "Sister Defei, I have to go back and take a look."
Luo'er must be hungry, so she has to go back and check.
"Oh," Concubine De held Concubine Xian, "Don't be afraid, sister. The emperor will probably come back on his own if he can't see you. As for Luo'er, you don't have to worry. Even if the emperor can't feed her, he will ask someone to feed her. She will definitely not starve."
The emperor loved the little princess from the bottom of his heart, so how could he bear to let her go hungry?
Empress Xian thought about it and it made sense. She hadn't been able to see her daughter during the day recently, and the emperor would only send her daughter back at night.
"Don't worry about the Fourth Prince." After Concubine Shu finished speaking, a palace maid came in hurriedly.
"My ladies, the Emperor is here."
Defei immediately had the leaf cards put away, and turned around to get a box of jewelry and poured it on the table.
After everything was done, the emperor came in.
[Wow, so many jewels! Concubine De packed them up really quickly. But why is Concubine Rou here too?]
The emperor raised his eyebrows. So, Concubine De brought a few people to play mahjong?
He was asking why he hadn't seen Empress Xian recently, and it turned out that she came here.
But it’s better this way. He has Luo’er with him all day, and Concubine Xian must be bored alone.
Just pretend you don't know. This is better than scheming against him or letting him favor you.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Several people saluted in unison, wondering why the emperor had come.
The emperor asked several people to stand up and asked in a puzzled tone.
"Why are they all here with Concubine De?"
Concubine De smiled and said, "I asked my sisters to come here to discuss jewelry. What is the purpose of His Majesty's visit?"
The emperor glanced at the jewelry on the table and didn't expose many people.
"I heard that Concubine Xian was here, so I came to look for her, but why do I remember Concubine Rou... isn't she still under house arrest?"
Concubine Shu glanced at Concubine Rou and replied, "Your Majesty, you are mistaken. Concubine Rou's confinement period has expired."
Concubine Rou gave her a grateful look.
Why did I always think that Concubine Shu liked to bully people, Concubine De was useless, and was jealous of Concubine Xian's favor?
Now that we've been together, I understand that they live more transparently than anyone else. No wonder they can get along so well.
If she hadn't accidentally broken into the small group of three, she would still be thinking about how to win favor.
"Really? I guess I remembered it wrongly."
"Your Majesty is looking for me. Is Luo'er hungry?"
Empress Xian walked towards Yu Yiluo and saw her staring at the jewelry. She knew that the little girl was becoming obsessed with money again.
"I've already fed her. I'm just taking Luo'er for a walk."
Seeing Yu Yiluo staring at the jewelry, Concubine De smiled and held up a golden hairpin in front of her, saying in a gentle voice, "Do you like this, Luo'er?"
Yu Yiluo's eyes lit up and she nodded her head.
[I like it. Who doesn't like pure gold? But my mother is good at counting cards. Concubine De must have lost a lot. It seems unkind of me to take her hairpin again.]
Thinking of this, Yu Yiluo shook her head again.
Concubine De found it strange that a child who was only a few months old could be so smart?
She smiled and handed the golden hairpin to Concubine Xian, "If Luo'er likes it, please accept it, Concubine Xian."
Concubine Xian naturally felt embarrassed to accept it, so she declined and left Concubine De's bedroom with the emperor.
After everyone left, Concubine De held her chin with one hand and sighed.
