Chapter 43: See what Concubine Rou is up to next
Shangguan Sui took it and opened it.
I found a piece of goat milk cake and beef slices inside.
Shangguan Sui's eyes lit up immediately.
[Oh my god, this looks delicious! ]
She looked up and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Fourth Brother!"
Shangguan Hong's heart almost melted when he saw Shangguan Sui's smile.
With red ears, she held her head and said, "It's okay, it's okay..."
Qingping was stunned watching from the side.
Isn't it said that the Fourth Prince is a little devil?
Why do you look... so stupid...
As Shangguan Sui ate the delicious beef slices, he couldn't help but think more.
[Alas, actually Fourth Brother is still a very nice person~]
[If he hadn't provoked Xiao Ziyuan, he wouldn't have died.]
【Ah, I've finished the beef slices. 】
Shangguan Sui looked at his empty palms and felt very sad.
Shangguan Hong, who was just listening with great interest, became anxious.
He would die? How could he die?
Come on, tell me!
At this time, the servants also caught up, carrying several wooden boxes in their hands.
Shangguan Hong immediately snatched a wooden box, took out all the beef slices inside, and handed them all to Shangguan Sui.
Eat! Eat hard!
Shangguan Sui took the beef slices and put them directly into his mouth, continuing to complain happily in his heart.
[Yohoo! There’s beef slices to eat again~]
[In fact, my fourth brother didn't have to die. It was mainly because after he entered Class C the next year, he was instigated by Xiao Feng and started to bully Xiao Ziyuan together with him.]
[Unexpectedly, Xiao Ziyuan was a sinister old man with a strong vengeful nature. When he grew up, he killed Xiao Feng and my fourth brother.]
Shangguan Hong was startled.
I immediately took out a small notebook and wrote it down silently in my mind.
You can't bully Xiao Ziyuan...
You must listen to your fifth sister...
Shangguan Hong sighed, Class C was really too dangerous.
He should stay in Class Ding with his fifth sister.
And during class, I could hear the fifth sister speaking the answers from her heart.
Hehe, I will never be scolded by the master again~
Speaking of which, when he was asked this question in class today, he still hasn’t thanked his fifth sister.
Shangguan Hong turned around.
He took out the goat milk cakes from another box and stuffed them all into Shangguan Sui.
Shangguan Sui blinked.
She said in a baby voice, "Thank you, Fourth Brother."
Shangguan Hong was even happier.
He doesn't have to die! He doesn't have to be scolded by the master! He still has such a lovely fifth sister to accompany him every day!
Ah! His future has never been so bright!
Looking at Shangguan Hong's jumping back.
Qingping couldn't help but sigh.
The fifth princess is really amazing.
Even a devil like the Fourth Prince behaves as obediently as a lamb in front of the Fifth Princess.
Shangguan Sui munched on a goat milk cake and asked casually, "Who is Fourth Brother's mother?"
It seemed to be mentioned in the original book, but she couldn't remember it.
"The fourth prince's biological mother is Consort De."
"The Empress Defei is the princess of Xia. Xia and Dayue have always been allies, fighting together against Yuan from the north."
"The Empress Defei was sent here to marry and consolidate the alliance."
Shangguan Sui blinked and muttered, "De Fei? She sounds very dignified and steady."
Qing Ping couldn't help but laugh twice when she heard this, and said meaningfully: "You will know after the princess meets the Empress Defei."
It can be said that Empress Defei has nothing to do with the words dignified and steady.
Shangguan Sui didn't ask any more questions, and he and Qingping walked slowly towards the Bihua Palace.
After a while, I met two familiar figures.
Class C had just finished school, and Xiao Ziyuan and Xiao Feng were preparing to leave the palace.
Seeing that it was Shangguan Sui, Xiao Feng was so scared that he trembled.
He hadn't forgotten how badly the Fifth Princess had beaten him last time...
He dared not to provoke this little ancestor again...
After bowing, he immediately ran away in shame with his servants.
Xiao Ziyuan, who was standing by, saw Shangguan Sui, and his originally cold red phoenix eyes now showed a hint of softness.
He bowed to Shangguan Sui and said, "Greetings to the Fifth Princess."
Shangguan Sui jumped towards him, waved his hand and said, "No need for these false formalities."
"By the way, how is your mother now?"
Xiao Ziyuan smiled slightly, "Mother's health is much better now. The doctor said that she doesn't need to take medicine anymore. She just needs to drink a bowl of ginseng soup every day to regulate her health."
Shangguan Sui was very surprised.
"Really? That's great!"
【This is really the best news I have heard today! 】
Shangguan Sui was very happy. She took out the half-eaten goat milk cake and handed it to Xiao Ziyuan.
"Do you want to eat it? It's delicious!"
Xiao Ziyuan wanted to refuse.
But looking at those beautiful big dark eyes, I just couldn't say no.
Finally, he bowed and said, "Thank you, Princess."
The two children sat down on the lawn by the lake and ate goat milk cakes together.
Time passed and the weather became colder.
Shangguan Sui went to the Shangshufang during the day, and after school he went to the Yushufang to play with Shangguan Lin.
That afternoon, Shangguan Suiwo was eating osmanthus cake on the dragon chair.
Shangguan Lin was carefully reviewing the memorials beside him.
The gold-thread hollow heater was burning with charcoal, and the room was warm.
At this time, Eunuch Chen walked into the hall.
He bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou is ill and would like you to come over."
"The imperial physician also said that Concubine Rou became ill because she was worrying too much."
Shangguan Linnong's brows furrowed.
Concubine Rou is ill...
He actually didn't want to go, but Prime Minister Wang was still in Ningcheng providing disaster relief.
If Concubine Rou's illness gets worse, Prime Minister Wang will probably not feel at ease in Ningcheng.
Should I go or not?
At this moment, Shangguan Sui blinked.
"Dad, let's go see Concubine Rou. She's sick. So pitiful~"
[I've been so bored lately, let's go see what Concubine Rou is up to! ]
Shangguan Lin: ...
It turns out that this is the reason why you want to see Concubine Rou this time.
Forget about it, let’s go see Concubine Rou.
"Eunuch Chen, take the wheel."
Cloud Shadow Palace.
As soon as Shangguan Lin stepped into the hall, he immediately noticed something was wrong.
Why is it so cold here?
Hasn't the palace already distributed charcoal to each palace at this time?
Concubine Rou was wearing a moon-white embroidered palace dress, which was very simple.
She bowed and timidly saluted.
"I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Fifth Princess."
Shangguan Lin asked, "Don't you have any charcoal fire in your palace? Why is it so cold?"
A maid beside Concubine Rou immediately replied.
"For some reason this year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not send charcoal to our palace."
"It made our mother sick from the cold."
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Rou turned around and scolded her.
"How can you have any say in front of the emperor?!"
Immediately afterwards, Concubine Rou smiled at the emperor, but her smile was full of bitterness.
There was also a sense of grievance in her voice, and she lowered her eyelashes slightly.
"Perhaps the Empress Chen is in charge of the six palaces and has too many things to do, so she forgot about our Yunying Palace."
"It's not the Empress Chen's fault. It's all my fault~"
Shangguan Lin's brows immediately wrinkled.
That shouldn't be the case. Concubine Chen doesn't seem like the kind of person who would withhold things from the concubines.
What is going on?
When Concubine Rou saw Shangguan Lin's expression, she immediately felt proud in her heart.
This move can not only discredit Concubine Chen, but also make the Emperor feel sorry for her.
It really kills two birds with one stone!
Shangguan Sui, who witnessed everything: ...
Hey guys, I'm waiting here!
