Chapter 470 The Second Prince's Wife's Jealousy
"You still have me! I love you!" Murong Chen hugged her tightly and carefully wiped away her tears.
Chen Tian was originally very sad, but his frivolous look made her emotions unable to be suppressed. She glanced at him unhappily, "Did something big happen that made His Highness come back first?"
Murong Chen paused, subconsciously looking at Chen Tian's head, his face showing a bit of majesty without anger, "I caught Cen who bullied you back then. That woman is really capable and has done so many lawless things. I'll hand her over to the emperor. Wait for the emperor to make the decision. Just wait and see. That woman will not have a good end."
Out of Shen Tian's curiosity, Murong Chen told her the general situation.
Shen Tian was stunned when she heard this, "Your Highness, are you saying that the Second Prince was with a married woman and that she gave birth to a son?"
Oh my God! How come she found that everything was different after living a new life? In her previous life, Murong Xu was not as bad as this. Does he not want the throne anymore?
Murong Chen laughed sarcastically, "The second son was arrogant and unruly when he was in the imperial capital. If it weren't for the pressure from his father and mother, he would not have restrained himself. Now that he has gone to the border, the emperor is far away and no one is watching over him, so he just acts recklessly!
Father has sent people to the border to summon the second son and Cen Yingfan. They will arrive in the imperial capital in about a month. Take care of yourself and I will take you to watch the fun!"
Chen Tian felt both angry and amused when she saw Murong Chen's mischievous look.
Murong Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Chen Tian stopped crying.
Unexpectedly, just as he had coaxed Shen Tian, someone came from the palace and said that the queen was ill.
The two of them hurriedly packed up and went into the palace.
When the two men entered the hall, they found that the emperor was also there, and they hurriedly saluted.
The emperor waved his hand and asked them to sit down at the side. He then said to the queen earnestly, "The second son's confusion has nothing to do with you. You don't have to dwell on it."
The queen's voice was hoarse, and her eyes were so swollen that she could hardly open them. "Your Majesty, after all, I raised the second son. I really cannot let him go when he does this."
The emperor got even angrier when he heard this. "What's there to be upset about? You raised them all the same. Look at the sixth child. You spoiled him like this, but he still didn't do bad things. You treated the second child with both strictness and kindness, and placed high hopes on him, but he turned out to be such a jerk. It's obvious that he has a bad nature! He's not your own child, so why blame yourself for that?"
What you said! The queen couldn't bear it any longer.
Murong Chen touched his nose awkwardly, wanting to refute but not daring to say a word.
Shen Tian suppressed her laughter and hung her head very low.
The emperor caught a glimpse of Chen Tian and his tone softened. "If the queen is really bored, you can ask the sixth concubine to bring the child to the palace to accompany you. I will take care of the second one, so don't worry about it."
The emperor looked at Murong Chen and said, "By the way, Lao Liu, have you ever seen Ajue in Zhaohua County?"
Murong Chen shook his head, fearing that the emperor would not believe him, and hurriedly explained: "I went to Lizhou Prefecture first, and the prefect led me. It was freezing cold at that time, and it was New Year's Day. The county government was sealed. I didn't want to affect everyone's New Year's celebration, so I only met with Lu Tong, the county magistrate of Zhaohua County, and then returned to the prefecture with the prefect.
Afterwards, I went to Zhaohua County for the preliminary examination of the imperial examination. This was proposed by the wife of the county magistrate of Zhaohua County in order to screen out those applicants who were taking chances. After this was done, I heard that my grandmother, the concubine, was seriously ill, so I went to Shenjiazhuang again and saw the first floating bridge in Langya State.
I just got back to Zhaohua County when I learned about that incident. I packed my luggage and rushed back overnight. By the time I remembered my cousin Jue, we were almost at the imperial capital."
The emperor raised an eyebrow, "You didn't go to see him, so he didn't come to see you?"
"Yes! And cousin Jue is very low-key. The mining place is in the old city of the county, separated from the new city. During the time I was in Zhaohua County, I didn't see a single person dressed as an officer or soldier walking on the street. The county magistrate Lu Tong and the county magistrate Chen Yi never mentioned cousin Jue, as if cousin Jue had nothing to do with the county government. That's why I didn't remember cousin Jue in time."
Murong Chen told the whole story of the situation in Zhaohua County.
The emperor chuckled and shook his head with emotion, "That child is still as stubborn as ever. He won't change his mind even if he insists on his own opinion. Well, let him be!"
The queen said with some distress: "Ajue is only in his teens, still a child, but he is very calm and steady in doing things."
She had been married to the emperor for decades and knew that the emperor was averse to his ministers forming cliques, especially those with powerful fists. Murong Jue's behavior in this regard was really impeccable, especially when compared with the second prince. The queen was speechless.
At this time, a palace maid came to report that the Second Prince's wife had arrived.
Everyone in the hall looked at each other.
Zhao Wanyi led her maid into the hall and kowtowed to the emperor and empress in a proper manner.
The emperor pondered and said, "No need to be polite, second son. Just stay with your mother and go back!"
Zhao Wanyi was shocked and agreed nervously.
After the emperor left, the queen struggled to sit up, and looked at Zhao Wanyi with a little more pity, "Don't worry, second son, the emperor is just concerned about me, not against you. Come and sit with mother when you are free in the future. Don't think too much, wait for the second son to come back and talk."
Zhao Wanyi looked up in surprise, "Mother, are you saying that the Second Prince is going back to the Imperial Capital?"
The queen didn't have the heart to ruin her good mood, so she just nodded and said nothing more.
Zhao Wanyi was so overjoyed that even Chen Tian, whom she had always looked down upon, began to look more favorably upon her.
A group of people walked out of the Queen's Palace.
Murong Chen still had to go to the imperial study, so Chen Tian went with Zhao Wanyi.
"Why didn't Concubine Shen bring her child into the palace today?" Zhao Wanyi took a look at Shen Tian's figure and couldn't hide her jealousy.
Shen Tian replied calmly: "Why bring them into the palace when my father and mother didn't summon them? Didn't my second sister-in-law take care of the child?"
Zhao Wanyi snorted with a droopy face, ignored Shen Tian, and left.
After they were far away, she cursed angrily, "She's just given birth to two sons, but she's so arrogant! What's the point of having more? The useless sixth son doesn't even have the qualifications to compete with the second son!"
The maid nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Master is right, the Second Prince is coming back, which shows that the Emperor has calmed down. When the Second Prince comes back, you will still be the most honorable prince's consort."
When Zhao Wanyi heard this, a little more smile appeared on her face.
"You are right, we must hurry back to the mansion and prepare to welcome His Highness!"
Zhao Wanyi had her hopes up, and she was busy with the servants in the Second Prince's Mansion all day long, so she had no time to go to the palace to pay her respects to the Queen.
Instead, Chen Tian and Murong Chen went there every day, and occasionally brought their children into the palace to enjoy their company.
The queen's health gradually improved.
The Queen Mother knew the situation and rewarded Shen Tian with many good things. The Emperor also praised the Sixth Prince's concubine for her gentleness and filial piety in front of the ministers.
After the morning court session, the Grand Tutor immediately went to the Second Prince's residence and reprimanded his granddaughter with a sullen face, "I think you have lost your mind. The Queen has been ill recently. What have you been doing?"
