After Concubine Chen finished her work, she asked about the whereabouts of the eldest prince. The maids hesitated and could not answer. Even Nanny Pan did not know where the eldest prince had gone.
"This is outrageous! How on earth do you all do your jobs?"
When Concubine Chen got angry, the servants all knelt on the ground.
"I am in Huayi Palace, but my heart is in Liangxiao Palace. I cannot tolerate any sand in my eyes. Since you have despised the eldest prince and want to ask for a reward in Liangxiao Palace, just go ahead."
"Ah Xiang, kick them all out and pick out the better ones."
Concubine Xi had made great contributions in giving birth to the prince and was about to become the empress. The people in Huayi Palace were greedy and rushed to please Concubine Xi, even neglecting their own serious work.
Concubine Chen was very angry, but after all, Nanny Li and the others were sent by Concubine Xi, so she really didn't know what to do with them.
Firstly, the eldest prince was not her biological son, and secondly, she did not want to become enemies with Concubine Xi because of a few palace maids and old women.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more serious, Ah Xiang immediately sent a few palace maids to look for him, and soon the eldest prince came back.
When Concubine Chen saw that the eldest prince was unharmed, she finally felt relieved.
"Xuanqing, why is there no one with you? It's about to rain, what will happen if we get wet?"
"Don't worry, Mother Chen. It was I who forbade them to follow."
"Next time you go out, at least ask someone to follow you."
"I understand, your son. Thank you, Mother Chen, for your concern."
Concubine Chen led the eldest prince to the side hall for tea. "Xuanqing, I brewed your favorite melon tea for you. Take a sip to moisten your throat."
The eldest prince had walked for a long time and was thirsty. Concubine Chen asked someone to bring him tea, and the eldest prince drank a large cup in one breath.
Concubine Chen waited until the eldest prince finished his tea, and then sent someone to bring him water for rinsing his mouth. After the eldest prince finished his tea and rested enough, Ah Xiang arranged to set the table for dinner.
Fried small yellow croaker, steamed carp, stir-fried kidney, and spicy rabbit head are all the eldest prince's favorite dishes.
Concubine Chen did not eat herself, but accompanied the eldest prince to eat.
"A Xiang, go and check. We're missing one dish of sweet and sour pork and one dish of braised duck."
Ah Xiang hurried to urge the food to be served, and Concubine Chen added, "Ask them to add another dish of dry-fried beef."
"The eldest prince is in the growth stage now. He needs to eat more so that he can grow taller."
The eldest prince lowered his head and ate.
Concubine Chen picked out a piece of fish with chopsticks, carefully removed the bones from the fish, and then took out a clean small bowl to serve him the three-fresh soup.
Ah Xiang went out for a while and came back soon.
Concubine Chen asked, "The braised duck doesn't look very fresh. Let's change it."
Ah Xiang stood still.
"Go change."
"Master, we can't change it. The people in the imperial kitchen are too busy."
"I'll go take a look."
The eldest prince quickly put down his chopsticks. "Mother Chen, these dishes are enough for us to eat. It's nothing serious."
"Xuanqing, eat your meal in peace. I will take care of everything."
"A Xiang, bring me my Qingfeng sword."
Concubine Chen rushed into the imperial kitchen with murderous intent, holding a sword.
The cooks in the imperial kitchen were leaning against the door frame chatting, while some were squatting under the eaves breaking up cakes to feed the birds in the courtyard.
Some people work diligently, while others are maliciously lazy.
Concubine Chen's sword was already unsheathed, and she made her way unimpeded to the imperial kitchen.
There were fires burning on stoves everywhere, with pots on the fires and boiling water in the pots, but the cooks were not in front of the stoves.
Chen Fei chopped down the wooden rack containing vegetables with a sword, and all kinds of vegetables and fruits rolled to the ground.
No one dared to block the sword in Concubine Chen's hand. The housekeeper of the imperial kitchen came forward to beg for mercy, but Concubine Chen kicked her down.
"You think I'm easy to bully, don't you? You're wrong. The eldest prince is having lunch at Huayi Palace today, and you dare to bring up leftovers."
"Where is the steward of the imperial kitchen? Come out immediately."
The manager was so scared that he hid in the corner and refused to show up.
Concubine Chen made a big fuss in the imperial kitchen, and the fight was spectacular with just one person and one sword.
Zhu Dunyi soon learned about this and rushed to inquire.
The manager of the imperial kitchen was originally promoted by Concubine Xi. Yesterday, Concubine Xi invited Zhu Dunyi to dinner, and everyone in the imperial kitchen followed Concubine Xi closely. Also, because three of the imperial chefs in the imperial kitchen took leave yesterday, the manager of the imperial kitchen did not cook new dishes after receiving the order to add more dishes, but served the leftovers from yesterday to the eldest prince.
Anyway, the eldest prince has no sense of taste and cannot taste salty, sweet, or sour.
Unexpectedly, the eldest prince was accompanied by Concubine Chen when he was having dinner. Concubine Chen knew that the food was rotten as soon as she smelled it. Concubine Chen treated the eldest prince as her own son, and she was very angry. She drew her sword and rushed to the imperial kitchen.
"My father was the chief of the four ministers who protected the country. I hold the same rank as the Vice Empress. If you slap the eldest prince, you are slapping me. I would rather die in glory than live in disgrace. Zhao Song, come out and accept death."
The eldest prince was originally having dinner in Huayi Palace. Halfway through his meal, he became worried that Concubine Chen would fight with others, so he hurried over.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Concubine Chen holding a sword and seeking justice for him. Since he was born, his father didn't care about him and his mother didn't love him. Concubine Chen gave him a mother's love.
He never thought that Concubine Chen could do this for him.
Zhao Quan used his hands and feet to crawl to Concubine Chen and begged for mercy, "Empress Chen, I was blinded by greed. Please be magnanimous and spare me this time."
Concubine Chen didn't care and handed the sword to the eldest prince.
"Zhao Quan was the first person to openly bully you. You decide whether he lives or dies."
The eldest prince held the sword in both hands, his eyes full of panic.
Concubine Chen was right. Zhao Quan was the first person to bully him. If he was not eliminated, people in the palace would follow suit and he would have no place to stand.
"This prince does not want to kill anyone."
Zhao Quan quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Highness."
