Chapter 348 What is the prince allergic to? !
Xie Yao didn't expect Xuan Yue to mention this matter specifically, and judging from Xuan Yue's attitude at the moment, it seemed like he was giving her a friendly reminder.
"I appreciate Miss Xuan's kindness."
Xie Yao nodded slightly and was very kind to Xuan Yue.
Xuan Yue came to say goodbye, and it would be redundant to give him another reminder, so he didn't say anything more at this moment and bowed and said goodbye.
"Crown Princess..."
As soon as Xuan Yue left, Zhu Qing looked at Xie Yao with a worried look on his face, "Miss Xuan's words..."
Xie Yao was not surprised. She had guessed this from the news she had just heard.
Now that the new emperor has been confirmed to be His Highness, the rumors that Xiao Ji's time is running out have been refuted.
Xiao Ji has only one Crown Princess, so wouldn't those people be targeting him?
Look, he even wants to take the position of queen away from her.
"Please be patient." Xie Yao gave Zhu Qing a reassuring look and said, "I have already thought of these."
But it is necessary to get to this point.
"Then Your Highness..." Zhu Qing was still a little worried.
Although it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines nowadays, not to mention the emperor who is above millions of people, Zhu Qing still feels a little uncomfortable.
I feel very unfair for the Crown Princess.
Xie Yao raised the corners of her lips slightly, "I believe him."
If Xiao Ji really changes one day, she can take back her heart, but now Xiao Ji has not done anything else, so she naturally chooses to trust him.
They are the ones on the same front.
If she becomes suspicious and no longer trusts Your Highness, she will push Your Highness away.
"Yaoyao."
A touching voice came from outside the hall. It was Xiao Ji who had come in at some point. He walked in quickly and hugged Xie Yao into his arms. "Just believe me."
Xiao Ji had heard that today's incident had spread, and was worried that Xie Yao would think too much, so he put down what he was doing and hurried over.
I heard Xie Yao's words as soon as I arrived.
Xiao Ji was deeply moved!
Xie Yao was hugged tightly by Xiao Ji, and she hugged him back, "Your Highness, why did you come back at this time?"
Xiao Ji has been very busy lately, with a lot of government affairs to deal with every day, so he should be busy at this time.
Xiao Ji held Xie Yao tightly and said in a low voice, "I miss you."
Zhu Qing, Lin Xia and others had quietly retreated when the two were hugging each other. At this moment, there were only two people in the hall. Xiao Ji kissed Xie Yao's face, looked at her seriously and said, "I have received Yaoyao's trust."
"I also ask Yaoyao to rest assured that I will never accept anyone else except you in this life." His eyes were firm, and Xie Yao's appearance was clearly reflected in his eyes. He almost offered his whole sincere heart to Xie Yao.
Xie Yao naturally believed it.
No matter what, at this moment, Xiao Ji was completely sincere.
She hooked her hands around Xiao Ji's neck, raised her head and kissed his lips, looking into his eyes with bright eyes, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, there is no other man in my heart except you in this life."
What Xiao Ji can do, she can do too.
The two of them already trusted each other very much, and after having such a frank chat, they became even closer.
However, those people were faster than Xie Yao and Xiao Ji had expected!
Within two days, Xiao Ji met several rich ladies in the palace.
Because it was a period of national mourning, the ladies did not wear brightly coloured clothes, but plain clothes and not many jewelries, but their attire was full of ingenuity and detail.
At this moment, several people looked at each other and stepped forward to salute, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Your Highness. May your Highness be well."
It was a bitter winter day and everything seemed to have lost its vitality, but a few young and pretty girls were a landscape full of vitality.
At this moment, several people couldn't help but look up and secretly look at Xiao Ji's appearance, and then their faces blushed.
I had only heard that the Crown Prince was extremely handsome, and now it seemed to be true. My heart started beating faster at the first sight of him.
Xiao Ji frowned and his eyes fell on Si Nan and Li Da Jian.
Li Dajian hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. These young ladies are the two concubines of Kangning Palace who invited you to enter the palace."
Now Concubine Li has been sent to the imperial mausoleum. The late emperor had few concubines in his harem. Apart from Concubine Shu, there were only two childless concubines.
And this young lady had come to the palace to pay a visit to the two imperial concubines.
But somehow, he happened to appear on the path that Xiao Ji had to take.
Xiao Ji said: "In that case, let's send them to Kangning Palace." Xiao Ji's voice was calm and cold, and his eyes did not even fall on the daughters of the rich family.
"Yes." After Li Dajian agreed, he just gave a look, and immediately a young eunuch came forward and said, "Ladies, please follow me."
this……
The ladies looked at each other with ugly expressions.
It is true that they came to pay their respects to the Concubine Dowager, but that was just an excuse. Their real purpose was to see if they could catch the eye of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
But the prince didn't even look at them. If they just left the palace like this, wouldn't it be...
"Your Highness." At this moment, a gentle voice sounded, "Don't you recognize me? I am Wang Yushi, your Highness. I pay my respects to you."
Xiao Ji frowned, his face full of confusion.
Who is this person?
Wang Yushi took a few steps forward and walked directly in front of Xiao Ji. Li Dajian of Si Nan knew the prince's temper and immediately stopped him.
"Your Highness, I have been to the Prince's Mansion before..."
Before Wang Yushi finished speaking, Xiao Ji's face suddenly changed and he began to vomit on the spot! He then took a few steps back and looked at Wang Yushi with cold eyes, "What's that smell on you?"
What?
Wang Yushi was stunned for a moment, and she didn't react at all. She subconsciously raised her sleeve and smelled it, "No, there is no smell."
But as Xiao Ji finished his words, the several young ladies who were originally behind Wang Yushi also moved away, as if there was really some smell on Wang Yushi.
This made Wang Yushi's face look very ugly.
She raised her sleeve and sniffed again, her face showing even more confusion. Really... there is no smell?
But after Xiao Ji took a few steps back and kept a distance from Wang Yushi, his dry retching was effectively relieved.
Wang Yushi was about to cry.
what to do?
Is there really any smell about her?
"Your Highness, please be wise. There is really no smell on me." If today's incident were to spread, she would not be able to enter the palace, let alone find a good marriage partner!
She rejected many good husbands chosen for her by her mother and was determined to enter the palace.
How could the prince treat her like this?
Wang Yushi's eyes turned red and she was about to cry the next second. She even wondered in her heart whether the Crown Princess had said something bad about her in front of the Crown Prince behind his back, which made the Crown Prince treat her like this!
At this moment, another young lady stepped past Wang Yushi and said, "Your servant Zheng..."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Ji's expression changed again, and he quickly stepped back, pretending to retch.
At this point, the young ladies who had originally wanted to step forward to introduce themselves, hoping to leave some impression on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, were stunned, not knowing whether they should step forward or not.
Wang Yushi's expression softened a lot.
It seems that it is not directed at her alone.
It was hard for me to accept it just now, but now seeing that the prince treats everyone equally, I feel inexplicably happy.
She glanced at Miss Zheng, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and her eyes were filled with a hint of contempt.
Want to step on her to get to the top? That depends on whether the prince will give you this opportunity!
This happened twice in a row. Xiao Ji didn't want to have anything to do with these young ladies. Li Dajian glared at the young eunuch, disliking him for being slow.
The young eunuch stepped forward and said, "Ladies, please follow me."
Naturally, it was impossible to let Xiao Ji make way for everyone, so the young eunuch took the young ladies out from the other side and took a detour to Kangning Palace.
After everyone left, Si Nan approached Xiao Ji, gave him a thumbs up and said, "Your Highness is brilliant!"
Si Nan's eyes were full of admiration.
It was obvious that those young ladies came here for His Highness, but in such a short time, His Highness was able to come up with such a way to persuade them to leave.
Xiao Ji: “…”
He glanced at Si Nan and said, "I really feel unwell." He really wanted to vomit.
Si Nan nodded repeatedly, "Your Highness is right, of course it is true!"
Fool.
Xiao Ji looked at Li Dajian again. Li Dajian was an experienced man and said immediately, "Please rest assured, Your Highness. I will send for the imperial physician to come right away."
Xiao Ji was satisfied.
It was true that he wanted to vomit, but he could also use this to his advantage...
Then he frowned again and said, "I don't want what happened today to happen again."
The Wang family has been standing for many years and has some connection with the two imperial concubines of Kangning Palace. It is expected that the same is true for the other young ladies. I am afraid that they are related to the two imperial concubines in some roundabout way.
The previous emperor had just passed away, and those people wanted to push people in front of him, but they couldn't do it too obviously, so they used this method...
There was coldness in Xiao Ji's eyes, which clearly showed that he was looking down on him.
Who do you take him for?
Is he a tyrant who can't walk when he sees a woman?
When Li Dajian and Si Nan heard this, they knew that Xiao Ji was dissatisfied with the two concubines in Kangning Palace, and immediately agreed.
Of course, someone had to be sent over to "hint" the two concubines and ask them not to do such things again.
…
Corning Palace.
A group of young and beautiful girls were sent to Kangning Palace by Li Dajian's men. When the two concubines heard the news, their expressions were somewhat complicated.
Prince, what does this mean?
In the past, the two would have some disputes, but now that the late emperor has passed away, the two seem to feel a sense of sympathy for each other.
At this moment, they looked at each other and saw that eight or nine girls were in trouble.
There are so many, but the prince doesn’t like any of them?
"Grand Concubine." At this moment, Wang Yushi said, "Before Yushi entered the palace, mother told Yushi to spend more time with Grand Concubine in the palace."
As soon as she finished speaking, the lady surnamed Zheng secretly rolled her eyes at Wang Yushi.
Idiot, how can you say such a thing in front of so many people? Wouldn't it allow others to take advantage of it?
Her mother had told her so before she entered the palace, but she had intended to say it in private...
As expected, as soon as Wang Yushi finished speaking, other young ladies immediately echoed her and expressed their willingness to stay in the palace to accompany the Concubine Dowager.
this……
The two concubines looked at each other.
They were not born into high-class families, were not favored and had no children. It was certainly not just luck that allowed them to stay in the palace for so many years.
When the young eunuch brought these girls over, he told them what had happened. Just by listening to the prince's reaction, they became alert in their hearts, thinking that what they were doing today was too risky and might displease the prince.
Besides, there is also the Crown Princess...
It would be fine if the prince could really take a fancy to a few of these people, but there was not a single one, and he even acted very disgusted.
If the Crown Princess knew about this, it would probably make things difficult for them.
"It's enough for the imperial concubine to have me by her side. You should go back earlier." Wang Yushi's 'arrogant' words brought the two imperial concubines back to their senses.
The two looked at each other, both feeling a little tired.
This young lady from the Wang family really seems...unintelligent.
Immediately, a young lady said, "Miss Wang, you are wrong. I have admired the beauty of the imperial concubine since I was a child. Now that I have achieved my wish, I naturally want to spend more time with the imperial concubine."
“…”
Several young ladies started arguing directly in front of the two imperial concubines. They all expressed admiration, but their attitudes showed no respect at all.
At this moment, the voice of Li Dajian sounded, "Chen Taipin, Mei Taipin, it seems that I have come at the wrong time."
When they heard Li Dajian's voice, the original dispute was instantly settled.
Everyone knew that this was someone close to the prince. Those who spoke out were annoyed, while those who kept silent were secretly happy. Everyone behaved very well.
Many people were secretly happy.
What does it mean that the chief eunuch beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came here at this moment? It must be to convey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's will.
Is it... that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took a liking to them and sent someone to convey his order?
Who could it be?
Not only the girls, but even the two imperial concubines had some hope in their hearts. Chen Taipin smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Li Dajian? You came at the right time, at the right time."
When the late emperor was still alive, although they were palace concubines, they could not easily see the late emperor, let alone Li Dajian.
Mei Taipin followed up on Chen Taipin's question and asked, "I wonder if the eunuch has come here for something important?"
Li Dajian smiled and said, "It's not an important matter, I'm just conveying the Crown Prince's oral instructions."
Everyone held their breath! Looking at Li Dajian, their eyes were full of anticipation.
Li Dajian had a respectable smile on his face, but his words were extremely cold, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that the young ladies be escorted out of the palace as soon as possible."
No explanation or reason is needed, just an order.
Because he is the crown prince and the future emperor, some things don't need reasons.
Upon hearing this, the two concubines' expressions immediately turned ugly.
Their behavior... ultimately displeased the prince.
But before the two could agree, Wang Yushi couldn't wait to ask, "Li Dajian, did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really say that? Is that all?"
She doesn't believe it.
It would be fine if she just sent those people out of the palace, but how could it be possible that she was the one leaving the palace?
"Eunuch Li, my third sister is the fiancée of the Crown Princess's cousin." In that case, she is also related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How could the Crown Prince treat her like this?
Upon hearing this, Li Dajian looked at Wang Yushi with a little more coldness in his eyes.
yes.
According to these relationships, the Wang family is still on the side of the Crown Princess, but now they are impatient to send their daughter out of the palace...which makes him more disgusted than other families.
"This is naturally the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself." Li Dajian's expression remained unchanged. He turned sideways and made a "please" gesture, "Ladies, please come in."
Wang Yushi subconsciously looked at Concubine Chen, "But Concubine Chen just said that she wanted me to stay in the palace with her..."
Concubine Chen's face turned black.
When did she say that? She didn't!
She forced a smile and cursed Wang Yushi for being stupid in her heart, "Everything will be done as the Crown Prince says."
Although they are imperial concubines, they will have to rely on the prince's favor for their livelihood in the future. How dare they offend him?
What happened today was a test that they made after they had no choice but to accept it.
With Li Dajian around, the daughters were quickly sent out of the palace.
The two concubines looked at each other with bitter smiles and said in unison: "What should we do?"
They have no status and no children, and their actions today are not intended to stir up trouble in the palace, but their family power is weak and they cannot resist the coercion and inducement of those young ladies' families.
In addition, they also wanted to find a way out for themselves in the palace.
After a while, Concubine Chen said, "I... want to meet the Crown Princess."
When the two concubines came to Xie Yao and explained the matter carefully, Xie Yao realized that such a thing had happened...
Things happened too quickly and were resolved too quickly.
Chen Taipin made a promise and said, "Please rest assured, Princess Consort, there will definitely not be a next time for something like this. We..."
She and Concubine Mei looked at each other and both smiled bitterly.
After this defeat, they hoped that the Wang and Zheng families would not embarrass their family. But the prince really didn't like any of them, so they did their best for the family.
Xie Yao said: "I understand the difficulties of the two concubines."
"How about I find a way out for the two concubines?"
Concubine Chen and Concubine Mei looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy. Would the Crown Princess... deliberately take revenge on them?
"There is a villa outside the capital. Would you two concubines like to go there to pray for your father?" As long as they leave the palace, those people will be unable to make things difficult for them or do what they did this time.
Since the two concubines paid such a "price", the Wang and Zheng families could no longer cause trouble for the Chen and Mei families.
Xie Yao added: "Don't worry, the two imperial concubines, once you go to the other courtyard, you will be treated the same as you would in the palace."
The two concubines were willing to do so.
But Concubine Chen still hesitated, "Crown Princess, this is of course good for us, but I'm afraid that outsiders will speculate..."
Even if they asked for it on their own initiative, it might be thought that they were threatened by the Crown Princess, and then combined with what happened today...
Xie Yao's expression softened a lot, "Don't worry, it's okay."
She doesn't care.
"You two concubines just need to tell me whether you are willing or not."
After seeing off the two imperial concubines, Xie Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Crown Princess, it is clear that they are trying to get someone close to Your Highness. Why are you repaying evil with kindness..."
Zhu Qing whispered.
Xie Yao chuckled and shook her head, "They have no choice. The ones behind the scenes are the ones who have real ambitions."
Even among the women who entered the palace today, not all of them wanted to enter the palace.
"Besides, if we send them away, this kind of thing will never happen again, which is also a good thing for me. Why wouldn't I want to?"
At this moment, a palace maid hurried in from outside the palace, "Crown Princess, I just received news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned the imperial physician."
Xie Yao immediately stood up and headed towards the Yangxin Palace.
When Xie Yao arrived, she found that there were not only Si Nan, Li Dajian and others in the hall, but also many court officials.
Seeing her coming, everyone made way.
Xie Yao was confused for a moment. What...was His Highness going to do?
When she saw that although Xiao Ji looked a little unhappy, he was sitting upright with his arms and legs intact, she breathed a sigh of relief and waited to see what the prince was up to.
"I heard that Your Highness was unwell. What happened?" Xie Yao asked.
"Crown Princess." Xiao Ji immediately stood up, walked forward, took her hand, and led her to sit down.
Si Nan immediately said, "In reply to the Crown Princess, Your Highness suddenly felt retching when he passed by the Imperial Garden today, so I ordered the Imperial Physician to check Ping An's pulse."
"It just so happened that when the imperial physician came, you all were in the Yangxin Palace. You all stayed because you were concerned about your highness's health."
Xie Yao nodded, "Can you diagnose why His Highness is feeling unwell?"
The imperial physician lowered his eyes, knelt on the ground and said, "Princess Consort, please allow me to report that the Crown Prince's symptoms seem to be...allergic to women."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall was in an uproar.
Si Nan immediately said, "Yes, today in the Imperial Garden, His Highness suddenly encountered a few young ladies, and then he began to vomit non-stop..."
"How is this possible?!" The court officials were in disbelief. "How could such a disease exist in the world?"
"That's right."
"Besides, the prince just touched the princess's hand, how come he didn't have an allergic reaction?"
“…”
"The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders." Cheng Fengqi said loudly, "You have never seen it before, but now, thanks to the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you have broadened your horizons."
Cheng Fengqi glanced at everyone, "Or are you questioning His Highness?"
Naturally, they did not dare to question Xiao Ji.
So someone immediately said, "Master Cheng, don't say that. We are not questioning His Highness."
They simply thought that the prince and the imperial physician were deceiving people.
The imperial physician said at this moment: "Master Cheng is right. The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. The Taizi concubine's attitude towards Your Highness may be an exception."
Everyone became even more unconvinced.
Xiao Ji said: "Since you gentlemen don't believe it, why not give it a try."
Everyone: “…” Can we still try this?
No matter how you want to behave, it all depends on how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince acts.
Xiao Ji looked at Si Nan and said, "Go find some women."
Si Nan immediately called in a few palace maids from outside. As soon as they approached Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji immediately started to dry heave on the spot.
The retching seemed very real, at least the court officials didn't notice anything wrong.
But at this moment, everyone saw small red rashes appearing on His Highness' hands and neck.
Si Nan immediately asked the palace maids to step back, and Xiao Ji's dry heave reaction was effectively alleviated.
"Imperial Physician, please take a look at His Highness." Xie Yao looked at the small red rash, her expression changed immediately, and she quickly ordered the imperial physician.
After the imperial physician made the diagnosis, he said, "This is the allergic reaction and manifestation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. These small rashes need to be treated with medicine to disappear."
"Fortunately, Your Highness didn't have much contact with these women for a long time. If it had been longer, I'm afraid..."
The ministers saw it with their own eyes and looked at each other in bewilderment.
This matter...how can it be so magical?
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in poor health, so state affairs could not be discussed at this moment. Everyone withdrew and let the Crown Prince apply medicine and receive treatment first.
As soon as the court officials left, Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji, "Your Highness, what's the matter with you?"
Such a big thing was done just to stop those court officials from sending people into the harem...
Xie Yao looked at the small red rashes on Xiao Ji's exposed skin, and her eyes turned red with heartache.
Xiao Ji immediately comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. I just calculated the time in advance and got some medicine."
"But the retching was real. I wasn't pretending at all."
He looked at Xie Yao gently, with a hint of pride in his eyes, "Yaoyao, I should have morning sickness too."
In this regard, he is not inferior to his former self!
