Chapter 142: Concubine De is offline
The court officials seemed to be sharks that smelled blood, and they all swam towards the chancellor of the capital city, each with different temptations:
"Master, what taboo has your queen violated?"
"The Third Prince is the biological son. How come he was raised by the Queen? Do you want to go to the temple to pray recently? To get rid of the bad luck?"
"Master, why is this your family's business again?"
…
The Prime Minister of the Capital Prefecture was completely bewildered, especially when he heard the last sentence, "Sir Prime Minister, why is it your family again?" He was completely defeated.
yes!
Why is it my home again!
It started with Jia Ren, then moved on to Xie Yulong, and now to the Third Prince and Empress Defei.
Little Imperial Master and the system, don’t try to take advantage of my family! Go eat other people’s melons! For example, the residence of the Third Prince, which you have determined to be the “home of melons”.
The chief minister of the capital city ignored all of his colleagues and "sent" everyone away very impolitely, then closed the door and thanked the guests.
At this time, the wife of the chancellor came over with tea in her hand and said worriedly, "My husband, didn't you always say that you should be careful with your words and actions, never act arrogantly, and pursue a stable career? Why..."
"What's the point of me being careful with my words and actions?" The chancellor of the capital city exploded as if a balloon had been punctured.
He first pointed at the ancestral hall in the backyard and growled, "You, do you know what kind of person the younger brother you asked me to recommend is? Now he has offended the entire Daxia officialdom. What can I do? I can only pretend to be a grandson."
"How could this be possible..." The wife of the chancellor was shocked. "My brother has only been in the palace for a few months. How could he be so capable?"
"Oh. Don't underestimate his wolfish ambitions." The chancellor of the capital city thought of being killed twice, and hatred grew in his eyes. "In a few days, I will send him to the northwest border to prevent him from causing harm to us."
The national destiny mission requires Xie Yulong to be a playboy, but playboys are divided into different levels, so he should go to the border and be a playboy of a merchant.
The prime minister's wife staggered and tried to plead with the prime minister, but he pushed her away.
The wife of the chancellor said, "Then I will go to the palace and ask my daughter for help."
The chancellor became even more furious: "How dare you mention your daughter! People always say she is so smart, but in the end, she gave birth to two sons and couldn't keep them in power. She even had her sons taken away from her."
"What!" The wife of the chancellor accidentally dropped the tea bowl in her hand to the ground, "No, it's impossible. The fifth prince is already grown up, who dares to raise him? And there is the third prince, he has always been on good terms with the crown prince..."
"Yes, they are good friends. So good that the Queen raised him." The Prime Minister sneered.
At this point, the chancellor saw that his wife could not bear it anymore and sat down on the couch, so he swallowed back his more vicious words.
He thought for a while and said, "Madam, please go to the palace and ask what is going on."
The prime minister's wife did not dare to delay at all and handed in the entrance card to the palace that same day.
Soon, the prime minister's wife hurried into the palace.
Defei's maid of honor hurried to greet her.
The prime minister's wife was so anxious that she wanted to ask a few questions first, but unexpectedly she heard crackling sounds coming from the hall.
"Your Majesty, how could Your Majesty do this to me."
The Prime Minister's wife walked in.
Then I saw Concubine De smashing a cup at a palace maid.
The palace maid endured the pain and whispered: "Empress Defei, please calm down. There must be some misunderstanding. The Third Prince cares about you the most... Otherwise, Empress Defei should go find the young imperial tutor, she will definitely..."
"No, I won't say it."
Defei suddenly woke up, and she suddenly thought of a question. When the Ninth Princess broke the news, although His Majesty and the Crown Prince remained expressionless, but... could it be that she was not the only one who heard it? The more she thought about it, the more Defei trembled.
When the wife of the chancellor saw the pale face of Concubine De, she could not say any more questions. She just went forward and hugged her: "My son, my son. What's the matter? Talk to me carefully."
Defei didn't dare to say it.
She covered her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I don't know. I dare not say it. I always feel that someone is watching me secretly." It was as if someone was watching her to see if she would say something nonsense.
Lady Fucheng was shocked: "What! You must tell the emperor about this."
"Your Majesty refuses to see me." Defei's face was full of bitterness.
The wife of the chancellor slapped Concubine De hard and said, "The emperor was willing to see you at the beginning? Who do you think you are? Lower your status."
Concubine De pursed her lips and nodded firmly: "Mother, I understand."
The Prime Minister's wife added, "There is also the Third Prince. He is your son, and you must hold him fast."
De Fei was unhappy, but still said, "Don't worry, mother."
…
Meanwhile, Yuanruan was packing her belongings to go to Guawang's House.
The maid was standing by, counting the things sent by other concubines:
Palace maid: "Ninth Princess, these are the sixteen jadeite beaded hairpins and thirty-two phoenix-tail jackets sent by Concubine Rong..."
Yuan Ruan smiled and said, "Rongpin, your Majesty, it's great."
Palace maid: "Empress Gao sent two sets of new silver tea sets and a hundred pieces of satin..."
Yuan Ruan was a little surprised: "Concubine Gao, Your Majesty, I like it."
She poked the system in her heart: [This Concubine Gao is quite generous, I have never seen this before. ]
System: [Concubine Gao is the second prince's mother. She has been ill for many years. It is normal that you have not seen her.]
Yuanruan instantly understood why the other party was ill.
At this time, the palace maid continued, "Ninth Princess, the Queen has sent four nurses."
Yuan Ruan almost spit out a mouthful of water: "Ah?"
The palace maid paused, and stopped counting for a moment.
Yuan Ruan: [Tong'er! A foster nanny? The kind that gives you a shot if you don't obey?]
System: [Hiss. Look at the size of it. Do you still need to inject it with needles? Why not just crush it to death?]
Yuan Ruan looked up and his eyes went dark. My goodness, these nannies were all nearly 1.8 meters tall, with burly builds and fat faces. They looked like they were not someone you would mess with.
The emperor who just walked over was almost choked. What on earth was going on in this little head?
Which nanny dares to touch the little imperial teacher? Will she lose her head?
The emperor walked over and picked up Yuan Ruan: "Jiu'er."
Yuan Ruan tried hard to say, "No, Mammy."
The emperor deliberately asked, "Are you dissatisfied that there are too few nurses?"
Yuanruan’s head was about to fall off.
The emperor pretended to sigh and tapped Yuanruan's nose: "You can't be so soft-hearted when you live in your mother's house. If someone dares to say something disrespectful, you can let the nanny beat them up. Jiuer will never be bullied."
Yuan Ruan's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay! Yes! I like it!"
The system also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with emotion: [So it turns out that this is your thug! This guy with a face full of fat looks good. ]
Yuan Ruan immediately defended: [What do you mean by a face full of flesh? This is a bear-like man with a swallow-like chin and a tiger-like head.]
Emperor: 6
The emperor picked up Yuanruan and said, "Since you like it, I will give you a few more. Eight of them will be able to protect you."
Yuan Ruan nodded repeatedly: "My dearest father, the emperor."
System: [Hahaha, okay, okay, eight of us. Ah Ruan, let’s walk sideways.]
Yuanruan: [Haha, keep a low profile. ]
At this moment, the chief eunuch suddenly came over in a hurry, glanced at Yuan Ruan hesitantly, and continued, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Concubine De is not feeling well."
The emperor's eyes darkened and he said coldly, "Oh."
The eunuch was silenced by the word "Oh".
This also made Yuan Ruan burst out laughing.
After a pause, the eunuch said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the Queen said she is looking forward to seeing you..."
The emperor said, "I am not an imperial physician."
Yuan Ruan tried hard to keep his chubby face calm, but he was almost laughing like crazy in his heart: [Brother is also a complainer. ]
System: [Hahaha, yes, it’s clear that you don’t buy into this way of winning favor.]
Yuan Ruan: [Actually, I am a little curious. I have never seen people pretending to be sick to beg for mercy. Will they put on a full makeup of sick beauty first? What if they get excited and cry, and their face turns red from crying?]
System: [Pfft. The emperor probably knew about this a long time ago. Just pretend you didn’t see it.]
Yuanruan and the system are happily complaining here.
However, the emperor became even more impatient with the tactless Concubine De.
He originally wanted to keep Concubine De in the palace for three months as bait to see if he could find out the clues on Prince Huainan's side, but since the other party was so uninterested, the emperor was too lazy to fish.
When the eunuch weighed the money bag in his arms and wanted to say something, he heard the emperor's cold voice: "De Fei pretended to be sick and deceived the emperor. This is a serious crime. She will be banished to the cold palace."
The eunuch's pupils trembled.
How did Concubine De offend His Majesty?
His Majesty was so disgusted by such a common means of competing for favor that he just found an excuse and banished her to the cold palace.
The eunuch was glad that he didn't say much, and he knelt down and said loudly, "Yes, Your Majesty."
