Chapter 382 Warning and Reprimand
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is of noble status. How could he leave the palace so easily? And he's gone for a whole day! Prince Liguo is too arrogant. Although the rebels have been executed, who can guarantee that there aren't still a few lurking in the dark? What if someone rushes out and injures the eldest prince? What will happen? No matter how brave Prince Liguo is, who can guarantee that he will be safe? It doesn't matter to him, but if the eldest prince is injured, can he bear the consequences?"
"Even if he regrets it later, what's the point? How can he make amends?"
"I don't know if the Empress knows about this. If she does, I wonder what she's thinking. Why, why would she allow the Prince of Liguo to act so recklessly? Since I learned about this today, I've been so restless. I've been on edge all day! Thankfully, the eldest prince has returned safe and sound. It's truly thanks to the Emperor's blessing and the care of our ancestors."
"Your Majesty, if the Empress is too busy managing the six palaces to take care of the eldest prince, how about I, how about I help take care of him from now on? After all, he is my child, so I will naturally care about him. I beg Your Majesty to grant this request!"
The emperor looked gentle at first, but as he listened, his expression gradually became a little grim.
However, Mi Fei, who lowered her head, did not notice.
Even though she had a vague sense of the situation and the arrow was on the string, she had no choice but to finish her words in one breath.
Concubine Mi is complaining about the Prince of Liguo, and is intentionally or unintentionally dragging the conversation onto the Queen. She is also eloquently expressing her deep concern as a biological mother. What else is there for the Emperor not to understand?
Not to mention that he was a smart man. Even if he didn't understand it that well, he knew that the queen would not have another biological son. He didn't know whether the queen really raised the eldest prince as her own son from the bottom of her heart. His words implied that the queen did this on purpose, and she was hoping that something would happen to the eldest prince so as to make way for her legitimate son in the future. It was ridiculous!
What was Concubine Mi saying about her motherly love? In the past, the eldest prince was raised by the queen, and she didn't show much motherly affection.
The Queen had never tried to stop or embarrass her from getting close to the First Prince, but she rarely took the initiative to visit him, let alone show any concern. When the First Prince was sick, was she the one who stayed with him?
Now she has developed a loving mother's heart.
She ran in front of me and said these words. It seems that her identity as the eldest prince's biological mother has given her confidence for no reason!
The emperor said coldly: "I have allowed the eldest prince to leave the palace. How the eldest prince is taught is up to me and the queen. If you have nothing to do, please leave. Don't say anything more in the future."
Concubine Mi's face turned pale. "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is also my biological son. How can I let him go? Please let me take care of the eldest prince! Your Majesty, your Majesty will have her own legitimate son sooner or later. How will she have the energy then? Please help me!"
"How dare you!" The emperor was furious. "Mi Fei, who gave you the courage? Don't think that you have no fear just because you are the eldest prince's biological mother. If you dare to speak nonsense again or have any inappropriate thoughts, I will never forgive you! Back off!"
Mi Fei was frightened and dared not say anything more, and retreated in a hurry.
After returning to the bedroom, although Concubine Mi's legs and feet were weak and her heart was beating for a long time, she believed that Nanny Xin was right. Although the emperor scolded her, it was just a scolding and he did not punish her in any other way.
What does this mean? It means that the emperor still values her identity as the eldest prince's biological mother!
"Your Majesty, you are the eldest prince's biological mother after all. The emperor only has this one child. How could he not love the eldest prince, and how could he not give you dignity and honor? After all, if you hurt your dignity, wouldn't it be the same as hurting the eldest prince's dignity? The emperor will never let anyone look down on the eldest prince!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! You are truly a blessed person!"
Concubine Mi was completely convinced by these words. Instead of being extinguished by the emperor's reprimand, her ambition grew even more.
In fact, she was not wrong. The emperor did have some considerations in this regard.
The court had just stabilized, and countless eyes were watching. No matter how unreliable Concubine Mi was, she couldn't be punished at this time.
Otherwise, other people's views on the eldest prince will change.
The emperor was reluctant to let the eldest prince suffer this injustice.
The queen was also reluctant.
There is no need to damage the dignity and prestige of the eldest prince because of a mere concubine Mi.
There is a tacit understanding between the emperor and the empress. Unless something unexpected happens, the throne will be passed on to the eldest prince in the future.
The emperor and the empress talked about everything, and he did not hide the fact that Concubine Mi had come to him to complain from the empress. He not only told her everything, but also complained about it.
The queen was infertile and had no desires or demands. She was completely loyal to him and devoted herself to raising the eldest prince. The emperor was more relaxed and trusting in her presence, and the two of them could talk about almost anything.
Empress Lu was speechless after hearing the emperor's words. She laughed and sighed, "Mi Fei has gone crazy!"
The emperor sneered: "I only have the eldest prince as my child now, and she has developed greed that she shouldn't have! Well, it seems that she is a fool."
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so impatient to expose his ambitions so quickly.
Empress Lu suppressed her laughter and nodded: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will keep an eye on her."
The emperor smiled and said, "With the Queen in the harem, I am naturally relieved. However, the Queen will have to work hard."
The Queen shook her head slightly and said softly, "It's not hard for me."
The previous hardships are long gone, and this is nothing.
The emperor's concerns were correct. Concubine Mi couldn't be punished, and even the reprimand couldn't be too obvious, otherwise it would easily affect the eldest prince. Although the child wasn't close to Concubine Mi, she was his biological mother after all. He was only a child, how could she bear to make him sad and miserable?
Neither the emperor nor the empress took Concubine Mi seriously. The eldest prince was still very close to Zhou Hansheng. Zhou Hansheng came to the palace every few days to teach the eldest prince martial arts and horse riding. From time to time, he would take him out of the palace to play and stroll around.
Of course, I would go to Zhao's house most of the time.
It just so happened that he could go to see Zhao Liya openly, stay at the Zhao family for a while longer, and occasionally have an excuse to take Zhao Liya and her siblings out for a stroll and play in the capital.
Concubine Mi was so angry that she was fuming, but she didn't dare to go to the emperor to complain again.
She actually realized that Zhou Hansheng was so unscrupulous, how could it be possible without the emperor's permission?
Concubine Mi was frustrated and jealous, envious of the eldest prince's close relationship with the Zhou family. It was fine if he was close to his adoptive mother, the Queen, but why was he so close to Zhou Hansheng as well? How could this be tolerated?
Doesn't this mean she gave birth to a prince for their Zhou family?
