Su Huiyan was quite frightened by the palace maid's sudden outburst and angrily said, "What's all this fuss about!"
Seeing that Su Huiyan was angry, the palace maid immediately stopped being so anxious and lowered her voice, saying, "It was the Third Prince who was punished by the Emperor to kneel in the Dongchu Hall."
Su Huiyan was startled again, frowning and asking anxiously, "What happened?"
"I heard that she fought with the Second Prince, right outside the Emperor's study." The palace maid recounted the whole story to Su Huiyan.
After listening for a moment, Su Huiyan asked in silence, "Has Consort Liang been dispatched?"
The palace maid thought for a moment and shook her head, saying, "It seems there's no movement."
Su Huiyan breathed a sigh of relief: "If Consort Liang doesn't move, we can't move either. The Emperor only punished them by making them kneel in the main hall, which is probably just to teach them a lesson, and he didn't really anger them."
If the two children are fighting, they really can't get involved unless they make a big scene.
However, she really didn't expect Yu'er to fight with Xuan Yuanzhi. Usually, wasn't he always at odds with Xuan Yuanzhan? Why did he fight with Xuan Yuanzhi again?
I heard that there is a famine and banditry in the north, perhaps because of this.
Su Huiyan thought for a moment and then looked at Granny Jiang: "Send someone to keep a close eye on Yingyue Palace. If they go to see the Emperor, report it immediately."
She knew what Yu'er was thinking. He wanted to go to the north, whether it was for disaster relief or bandit suppression, he could win the hearts of the people.
I guess Xuanyuan Zhi wanted to go too, which is why the two of them started arguing.
She definitely couldn't let Consort Liang handle this matter. If Consort Liang intervened, then she would definitely have to step in to support Yu'er as well.
"Yes," Granny Jiang replied and withdrew, but then Su Huiyan asked, "I heard that the Third Prince stayed in the east wing of Jingfeng Palace yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Granny Jiang immediately smiled and said, "Yes, the Third Prince and the Empress Consort consummated their marriage last night. This morning, Jingfeng Palace even sent over the Empress Consort's bridal handkerchief. This old servant hasn't had a chance to show it to you yet."
As she spoke, Granny Jiang opened the brocade box sent by Jingfeng Palace and showed it to Su Huiyan.
Looking at the small red spots on the white handkerchief, Su Huiyan nodded in satisfaction and sighed softly, "She has it tough too. Go to the storeroom and pick out some of the best tonics to send to her so that she can take good care of her health and try to give the Third Prince a legitimate son."
"Yes," Granny Jiang replied with a smile, put away the brocade box, and went to the storeroom to choose a gift.
Soon, Granny Jiang delivered various tonics to the east room of Jingfeng Palace: "Your Highness, these are tonics specially selected for you by Consort Su to help you recover. Consort Su also said that she hopes you will soon bear children for the royal family and give birth to a legitimate son for His Highness."
"Thank you, Mother Consort." Zhao Zhenzhen rose and thanked her, feeling quite flattered. "Please convey my thanks to Mother Consort on my behalf, Granny."
Since she married into Jingfeng Palace, she hadn't received much attention from Xuanyuan Yu and Consort Su. Now that she had just consummated her marriage with Xuanyuan Yu, Consort Su had already sent her a generous gift. It was as if her long-awaited happiness had finally come to fruition.
"Of course." Granny Jiang bowed to Zhao Zhenzhen, then left the gifts and politely withdrew.
As soon as Granny Jiang left, Pearl and Agate gathered around to look at the gifts.
The items that Granny Jiang brought were mostly tonics, but they were all extremely expensive, which showed how much Consort Su valued their young lady.
“Miss, Consort Su has sent a lot of good things. She just said that she hopes you will give birth to a legitimate son for the Third Prince.” Pearl said excitedly, “If Miss can give birth to a legitimate son for the Third Prince, then the child born to the woman in the west wing will not be so important.”
Ever since the woman in the west wing became pregnant with the little prince, she has become incredibly arrogant. Even the palace servants who serve her are extremely arrogant and completely disregard them.
The old nannies in Jingfeng Palace are all opportunists. They usually dare to be disrespectful to the young lady. Now that His Highness has favored the young lady, let's see if they still dare to be disrespectful to her.
“That’s right. The child our young lady will give birth to will be the Third Prince’s legitimate son and the Emperor’s legitimate grandson. What about the one in the west wing? Even if she is a concubine, she is still a concubine. Even if she carries a male offspring, he will only be a son born out of wedlock!” Agate also had a venting expression, which showed that she had really suffered a lot of abuse on a daily basis.
Zhao Zhenzhen glared at the two of them and said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. She's not even pregnant yet, and you're already talking about legitimate children. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Pearl and Agate exchanged a glance and smiled, "With Miss's health so good, and His Highness willing to come to Miss's room, how could Miss not conceive!"
The two were very confident in their young lady's health. Three years ago, the madam had found a prescription to specially treat the young lady's body. As long as His Highness was willing to come to the young lady's place, she would definitely be able to conceive a little prince very easily!
Thinking about what happened last night, Zhao Zhenzhen subconsciously patted her stomach.
That person must have been drunk when he came to her room last night, and he kept calling out Su Xuening's name. He clearly knew she wasn't her, but he kept calling out Su Xuening's name the whole time!
Zhao Zhenzhen didn't know how Su Feiling consummated their marriage with him.
At the time, Su Feiling used some tricks to make that person mistake her for Su Xuening. I guess Su Feiling probably had the same experience as her.
The difference is that Su Feiling used underhanded tactics, while she didn't. But what they have in common is that both of them chose their own paths, so they have no room for regret regarding what they've suffered!
Regardless of whether that person will come to her room again, at least she has the opportunity to become pregnant. Hopefully, she can conceive on her first try. That way, she will have someone to rely on in the palace.
The Holy King's Palace.
Xuan Yuanzhan had no idea that Xuan Yuanyu and Xuan Yuanzhi were fighting in the palace, nor did he know that the two of them had been forced to kneel in the Eastern Chu Palace by Xuan Yuanpeng.
