Chapter 115 An Lingrong 56
When she came out of the Queen's Palace, she saw Noble Lady Fucha trying to save her status. She was standing at the palace gate, touching up her makeup with the special perfume powder given by the Emperor in her hand.
"Huh? The scent of the powder in Sister Fucha's hand smells so familiar." Chun'er skipped and held Zhen Huan's hand, saying loudly, "This smell is similar to the one Sister An used to apply on me last time."
The eyes of the concubines outside who were impatient to leave immediately lit up when they heard this. Concubine Qi came over and said deliberately, "Chun Changzai, please don't be mistaken. This perfume powder was specially given to Concubine Fucha by the Emperor."
Chun'er wrinkled her nose and pulled out a box from her sleeve. It was almost identical to the one in Noble Lady Fucha's hand, except that it looked more delicate. "My nose is very sensitive. Besides, Sister An doesn't like to use these, so she gave me a lot. My nanny uses this for me every day now."
Concubine Qi took it and walked to Noble Lady Fucha's side. Concubine Xin on the other side immediately laughed: "Oh, they are not exactly the same, but the box is more expensive."
"It's just that the taste is somewhat similar." Fu Cha Guiren said this, but still put away the cosmetics in her hand.
Concubine Jing didn't want to be involved with the pregnant Fucha, so she pulled Chun'er and said with a smile, "Aren't you going to visit your sister Mei first, and then go to Chengqian Palace to find your sister An? If you're late, be careful that they'll both be asleep."
"Oh yes, let's go quickly." Chun'er nodded quickly and turned to walk towards Concubine Qi.
"My Lady, are you guys done talking? Chun'er is still in a hurry to go play."
Concubine Qi returned the powder to her unhappily, shaking her head and looking speechless: "All you do is play around all day. You're not young anymore, yet you're still so reckless in what you say and do."
Chun'er had already put the perfume in her pocket and had already taken Zhen Huan and Concubine Jing away.
When Concubine Qi came to her senses, she was alone at the palace gate.
"Empress Qi, please stay."
Just as Concubine Qi was about to leave, Jianqiu suddenly came out and said, "The Queen wants to speak with you."
"Ah? Now?" Concubine Qi was stunned. She wanted to go back and make more supplements for her son, but she was used to being submissive in front of the queen. She nodded quickly and followed Jianqiu in.
"Empress, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Concubine Qi walked into the inner room, bowed skillfully and sat down. She saw the Queen playing with the jade ruyi in her hand. She recognized it at a glance. This jade ruyi was given by the Emperor to the Third Prince when he was young and studied hard.
"I've called you here for something." The Queen casually placed the jade ruyi on the table and glanced at Concubine Qi impatiently. After she sat down properly, she spoke lightly:
"How many times has the Emperor scolded the Third Prince these days? As his mother, do you have any idea?"
"Your Highness... Your Highness naturally knows."
"What's the point of just knowing? The most important thing is to make him correct his mistakes." The Queen glared at Concubine Qi, her face darkening. "The Emperor only has the Third Prince by his side right now, and he's already dissatisfied with the child. When someone he likes gives birth to a prince in the future, how can your Third Prince compare?"
Concubine Qi was so scolded by her that she couldn't speak clearly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Third Prince is, after all, the Emperor's eldest son..."
"What's the point of having an eldest son? Concubine Yi is favored, so her children will naturally inherit her status. Concubine Hui comes from a good family, so even if things get tough in the future, she'll still have her mother's family to support her. And Concubine Fucha is even more so. She's a prominent Manchu family. In terms of birth, family background, and age, how can you and the Third Prince compare?"
After the Queen finished speaking, she finally saw murderous intent on Concubine Qi's foolish face.
"Then, then what does Your Majesty say I should do?" Concubine Qi wanted the Queen to give her a way to quietly get rid of the children, but then she thought, she is the Queen, whoever becomes the Queen must respect her as the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager, how could she possibly help her.
"Alas... If you are always so soft-hearted, why not just do as the other princes do now and let the Third Prince follow his brothers obediently from now on?"
Concubine Qi thought about the princes in the court and made up her mind instantly.
"Oh, by the way, the weather is getting warmer now, and the flowers in Jingren Palace are blooming. I plan to invite all the sisters in the palace to enjoy the flowers together in Jingren Palace, so as not to miss the spring. When the time comes, you can come and lend a hand."
"Yes, I will definitely not let you, Your Majesty." Concubine Qi's eyes suddenly lit up and she agreed neatly.
Looking at Concubine Qi, whose stupidity was clearly written on her face, the Queen only hoped that she would stay this stupid forever. It would be best if she could use her brain to come up with some ideas that even smart people couldn't think of. Who knows, maybe it would work wonders.
………
Lingrong still did not attend the Spring Banquet this time. After all, she was now nine months pregnant and was in danger of giving birth at any time, so she could naturally cancel any banquet.
As for Mei Zhuang, who originally didn't want to go, she felt a little worried when she saw that Zhen Huan was the only one at the banquet. However, Zhen Huan used the excuse that Concubine Jing and Chun Er were accompanying her and forced her to stay in Cun Ju Hall, so the two of them disappeared again.
Lingrong felt a little bored staying in Chengqian Palace, so she simply asked Sanbao to sneak over and broadcast the situation to her in real time.
"Oh, so you saw Concubine Qi put drugs in Noble Lady Fucha's perfume?"
"Ah? She still wants to frame Chun'er?"
"Oh yeah, I just gave Chun'er a box of new flavors a couple of days ago, so she failed?"
"Oh my god, is Concubine Fucha's pregnancy reaction so severe? She can even smell the difference, yet she still keeps using it?"
"What? Concubine Qi was discovered because she was too nervous and the powder fell out of her sleeve? Uh...it's hard to say. I wish her...safety."
In the bedroom, the man and the bird lowered their voices, whispering something inaudible. The most terrifying thing was that, except for Lingrong, no one could understand the bird's calls, but Sanbao also lowered his voice, and the bird quietly told him what it had seen and heard that afternoon.
Although there was no pine nut attack this time, Zhen Huan still stood up for Chun'er when she was wrongly accused by Concubine Qi, and was pushed by the irrational Noble Lady Fucha, and was diagnosed with pregnancy.
Even without Lingrong, Fucha still paid a heavy price for her publicity.
And with the addition of Concubine Wan, this trio who had been working together since entering the palace, surprisingly, all became pregnant with dragon heirs, becoming a hot force.
This passion reached its peak when the emperor returned to the palace and directly promoted Concubine Wan to Concubine Wan.
"Wanwan, we have a child." The emperor looked at the face that had haunted him, and thought that she had given birth to a child for him, and he felt as if he had returned to the past.
"Your Majesty..." Zhen Huan's words brought him back to reality. Thinking of all the regrets he and her had, Yinzhen actually thought that it was God's compensation, allowing him to make amends.
