Concubine Bai had been having a hard time recently, and now this rumor had spread, she fainted from anger.
Concubine Bai covered her forehead with her hands, feeling both headache and discomfort. Every time she looked at her wrist, she would think of the bracelet Situ Yao had given her before, which made her feel even more headache.
"Go down."
However, today, Concubine Bai did not lose her temper with the little palace maid. Instead, she sighed and said, "Go find someone to invite the third princess over."
Ever since the incident between the Third Princess and the Fourth Prince of Beiliang, the Emperor has been disliking her and even told her directly to reflect on herself and not to leave the palace unless necessary.
The third princess made a fuss in the bedroom, but there was nothing she could do. After all, it was the emperor's order, and no one dared to disobey.
After the nonsense was over, the third princess became afraid. The marriage could not be reversed. She even wanted to meet Baicheng secretly a few times, but Baicheng had no intention of seeing her at all.
The letters I sent out fell into oblivion and received no reply.
"Third Princess, the Imperial Concubine invites you over."
Seeing the third princess leave her bedroom in a triumphant manner, the guards beside her looked helpless, but there was nothing they could do.
Concubine Bai is the emperor's favorite concubine, so I think the emperor should not be angry.
What's more, when the emperor gave the order, he only said that he was not allowed to go out when there was nothing to do, and he didn't say that if Concubine Bai had something to do, she would not be allowed to go there, right?
After the guard convinced himself, he turned a blind eye, pretended that he knew nothing, and waited obediently by the side.
As soon as the Third Princess entered Noble Concubine Bai's bedroom, she immediately began to complain, "Mother, they've been bullying me like crazy. They're taking advantage of the fact that Father is mad at me lately and are trying to bully me!"
"In a few days, I will find an opportunity for you to meet the emperor, and you can admit your mistake then. After all, you are your father's most beloved daughter, and he won't be too mean to you." Concubine Bai said nonchalantly.
"But..." The third princess was unwilling.
Noble Concubine Bai had not called her here today for her business, so she didn't listen to what she was going to say next. She just frowned and said, "Your royal brother hasn't had a good time recently. Remember to say a few good words for him."
Royal brother, royal brother, I don’t know since when, but Concubine Bai only mentions the third royal brother, and there is almost no place for herself.
The Third Princess felt a bit annoyed upon hearing this, but could only curl her lips and say, "I understand. But Mother, is there anything that my brother needs my help with recently? Didn't Father just confer the title of King upon my brother?"
The third princess felt very unwilling. When she was locked up by her father, did Concubine Bai say a word to help her?
"The matter of the late crown prince has become a hot topic recently. Some people say that the emperor has shown too much favor to your brother and wants to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the late crown prince. In fact, Baicheng is to blame for this matter. If it weren't for Baicheng's poor performance, this would not have happened." Concubine Bai felt annoyed when she thought of this, and she almost gritted her teeth when she spoke.
First it was myself, then it was Baicheng.
The Third Princess was displeased when she heard this. She stood up abruptly and looked at Concubine Bai with a hint of resentment in her eyes. "Mother! In your eyes, are Brother Baicheng and I just stepping stones for the Emperor? The Emperor has already been crowned king, what else do you want from me? What did Brother Baicheng do wrong? It's clearly your fault for wanting to assassinate the Crown Prince!"
The third princess has been somewhat spoiled by Concubine Bai. Now she speaks without restraint and doesn't care whether there is anyone listening nearby.
Concubine Bai was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward, covered the Third Princess's mouth, and said in horror: "What nonsense are you talking about! What if outsiders hear it?"
He did not deny his words.
In Concubine Bai's heart, she might just be a tool to help her brother ascend to the throne.
The third princess' tears suddenly flowed down. She pried open Concubine Bai's hands, threw down a word, and ran out.
"From now on, I will never let you guys control me again!"
"You!" Concubine Bai had no time to stop her and could only watch the Third Princess run farther and farther away.
After a long moment, she finally sighed, her voice a mix of helplessness and anger. "This is truly a case of a grown-up son being no longer under the control of his mother. Now, even the Third Princess won't listen to anything I say."
The maidservant beside her trembled with fear at these words. For the sake of her own life, she spoke up to comfort him, "Your Majesty, the Third Princess may be in a bad mood today. Don't take a child's words seriously. Wait a few days, and the Third Princess will realize her mistake and come back to apologize to you."
"How dare you!" Concubine Bai's eyebrows were sharp. She glared at the palace maid beside her and scolded, "Do you think you can talk about the princess?"
The palace maid immediately knelt down in front of Concubine Bai, feeling so sad that she couldn't even cry.
"Who is my beloved concubine so angry with?"
The emperor looked at Concubine Bai. Although his words sounded doting, there was no joy on his face. Instead, he had a frown on his face and seemed to be in a bad mood.
Concubine Bai spoke with a hint of grievance, "They are just some disobedient and ignorant servants. There is nothing to worry about. Your Majesty, what are you unhappy about? But who has made you unhappy?"
