"Hehehe!" The Ninth Prince grabbed his head and laughed foolishly.
Looking at the appearance of his ninth younger brother, the second prince thought of what happened in the morning court and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
"Mother, have you heard what happened at the morning court?"
The queen nodded and handed the ninth prince in her arms to the nurse, "Take the prince out to play first!"
"yes!"
Watching the nurse take the Ninth Prince away, the Queen sighed helplessly, "I already know. For this, your father came to your mother's place!"
"What?" The second prince was shocked and unbelievable. "Why did father come to your place?"
The queen told the second prince about the matter of Duke Lu and Concubine Shu.
The Second Prince was extremely shocked. "Mother, so, was it really Duke Lu and Concubine Shu who teamed up with Xia Huai to harm Concubine Liang?"
The Queen shook her head, her face thoughtful, "I am only sure that Duke Lu and Concubine Shu must have framed Concubine Liang, but I don't know whether Xia Huai joined in!"
...
...
After Emperor Donglin and his companions left, the Queen reviewed the situation and guessed that the purpose of Emperor Donglin's visit to her was to let her, the mistress of the harem and an outsider, be a witness.
The words that Concubine Shu said without thinking could further prove Concubine Liang's innocence. With her there to testify, even if the Empress Dowager came back, she would not be able to say anything.
After all, Concubine Liang was innocent, so it was only natural for her to be released from the cold palace and restored to her position as concubine.
After knowing Emperor Donglin's purpose, even though she was clear that he was using her, she had no choice but to continue, because she was the queen.
Moreover, Emperor Donglin came this time not only to deal with the matter of Concubine Shu, but also to remind her that he was protecting Concubine Liang and her daughter, and no one could touch them, not even her, the queen.
"Oh, since she can't do anything to Concubine Liang and her daughter, won't others do it? Now there is no one in the entire harem who likes Concubine Liang's appearance!"
The Second Prince was very unhappy with Xiao Ruoyi, who had monopolized the Emperor Donglin's exclusive favor. He felt extremely unwilling to accept this, "It seems that the matter of preventing Concubine Liang from leaving the cold palace is unstoppable!"
"Yes!" The Queen also nodded in agreement, "The Emperor's favorite daughter is Consort Liang, and I have never seen her before!"
In the past, Concubine Liang lived in the cold palace and had no right to meet the queen, let alone pay her respects to the queen.
Although Concubine Liang has come out now and paid her respects to her, she has not brought Xiao Ruoyi with her yet. It is really because Xiao Ruoyi is "too busy".
After all, Xiao Ruoyi attended the morning court, and when Concubine Liang came to pay her respects, Xiao Ruoyi was in the front court and couldn't come, so no one could see Xiao Ruoyi.
Now she really wants to see what the legendary little girl looks like!
"I really don't know what kind of magic that little bitch has that makes father favor her so much and even take her to the morning court!" The second prince gritted his teeth in anger, his tone full of jealousy and envy, "Now even the eldest brother, the fifth brother, and the sixth brother are defending that little bitch!"
When the Queen heard what the Second Prince said, she exclaimed in surprise, "You said that the eldest, fifth, and sixth princes all defended Concubine Liang's daughter?"
The second prince nodded, and immediately told the queen what had happened in the school. He became more and more indignant as he spoke.
"They were still united with us yesterday morning! But I didn't expect that they would be so protective of us today. I really don't know what kind of magic that damn girl used!"
For this reason, he sent people to investigate, but they could not find out anything. Even now he still can't figure it out.
The second prince felt that some abnormal means must have been used.
The Queen's fingers fumbled with the rim of the teacup, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, "To be able to make the three princes change their attitudes in one night, this method is really powerful!"
Just as Huang'er said, I don't know what kind of magic Xiao Ruoyi used to make them change their attitude so quickly.
"That's right!" The second prince gnashed his teeth in anger, "When my brother was born, father didn't even hold him in his arms! I heard that father often held that little bitch in his arms!"
By the end of the conversation, the Second Prince's entire body was filled with a strong sour smell.
Although the Second Prince is already twelve years old, he is still just a child. Now seeing Xiao Ruoyi being so favored, it is impossible for him not to be jealous.
There was a dark flash in the queen's eyes. Although she was the master of the harem and gave birth to two sons for Emperor Donglin, she had never been treated differently by Emperor Donglin.
The Ninth Prince is three years old now. Emperor Donglin came over just to tease him and did not hold him in his arms like he did to Xiao Ruoyi.
"Alas!" The queen sighed, "Forget it! After all, she is the emperor's only daughter!"
Yes, Emperor Donglin had so many children, but Xiao Ruoyi was the only daughter, and the rest were all sons.
"Hmph, so what if she's the only daughter? Am I, a prince, unable to compare to a little girl?" The second prince, who had always favored boys over girls, had a face full of disgust and contempt.
"That's right, you are a prince, and you may even inherit the throne in the future! There is no need for you to worry so much about a little girl!"
The queen, who had the same idea, also smiled proudly. If Xiao Ruoyi was not a girl, she would have been unable to sit still a long time ago. Otherwise, she would not have let it go temporarily and let other women in the harem target Concubine Liang and her daughter.
But the second prince was getting angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. He slammed the table and said, "But I just won't give in!"
The queen raised her lips and soothed them softly, "Don't worry, someone will be able to cure them soon!"
The second prince was startled and approached the queen curiously, "Who is it?"
"You will know soon!" The queen smiled mysteriously but said nothing more.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so calm.
The second prince had a face full of resentment, and was still a little indignant. "That's great! But I have to go meet that damn girl first! See what kind of supernatural power she has!"
"My son, although I am the queen, Xiao Ruoyi is very much valued by the emperor now, so please don't turn against me for the time being!"
The fact that she was able to become the empress and that Emperor Donglin even asked her to testify in the incident between Concubine Shu and Duke Lu proves the empress's character and status.
The second prince waved his hand indifferently, "Mother, I understand! I just went to see that little girl!"
The second prince was about to go find Xiao Ruoyi, but Xiao Ruoyi did not return to Yaohua Palace because she was delayed by someone.
Xiao Ruoyi, who had enjoyed the show, was about to return to Yaohua Palace. She looked at Wang Chunhai beside her and said in a baby voice, "Eunuch Wang, go help Daddy! Yiyi can go back with Sister Chunqiao!"
Wang Dehai looked at Chunqiao, and Chunqiao bowed quickly, "Eunuch Wang, I will take good care of the little princess!"
