The expressions of both Concubine Xian and Noble Lady Zhong changed. Giving birth in other palaces was not a good thing for them.
Concubine Zhong smiled awkwardly, "Princess, this child is so delicate and cries all the time since he was born. There's nothing to see."
The virtuous concubine finally agreed with Concubine Zhong for once. "My sister is right. Princess, please talk to your aunt slowly. I have to go and pack up to attend the dinner tonight."
Qin Qingyao could tell from Concubine Zhong's clenched fists that she was not qualified to attend the palace banquet tonight.
But she didn't have time to comfort Concubine Zhong now. "Don't leave, Concubine Xian. I heard that Yongfu Palace is Concubine Yun's territory. I'm not familiar with Concubine Yun. It would be awkward if I went there or not."
"Please, my Lady, please accompany me and give me some courage!"
Concubine Xian covered her mouth and laughed, "You are the princess of King Wuling, do you still need others to give you courage?"
Qin Qingyao said, "Hehe, I can act arrogantly outside, but this is not the palace. You are the highest-ranking among the West Six Palaces. When you walk in front and I follow behind, I feel so tall and safe!"
No matter how much flattery is worn, it never wears out. In the West Six Palaces, there lives Concubine Liang, who has the same rank as Concubine Xian. Qin Qingyao's flattery really made Concubine Xian very happy.
"Well, I'll give you a favor, Princess, and help lead the way!"
Concubine Zhong glared at Qin Qingyao with disapproval, but compared to running to Concubine Qin Shufei, she would certainly prefer to go with Qin Qingyao to see the child.
Qin Qingyao never expected that things would go so smoothly. It was just dusk when he successfully arrived at Concubine Yao's palace.
Relying on the emperor's favor, Concubine Yao is very willing to show off her precious son to others. However, not many people come to see her, so her opportunities to perform are limited.
With so many people coming today, Lady Yao seemed very excited. If the nanny hadn't stopped her, she would have jumped off the bed.
Concubine Xian was very cautious and stayed away from Concubine Yao and the child. However, it was different for Concubine Zhong. When she saw the child, the fierceness on her face disappeared a lot, and she even instructed Concubine Yao on how to take care of the child.
Lady Yao listened patiently, her face full of the glow of a mother. For the first time in her life, Qin Qingyao realized that having a child was such a happy thing.
If we put aside their identities and if they did not all belong to the emperor, these three people would look like normal neighbor sisters visiting each other.
After staying for about two quarters of an hour, Concubine Xian was about to leave. One reason was that she was afraid of causing trouble, and the other was that it was really time to prepare for the palace banquet.
But Qin Qingyao can't leave, she has to wait for the prince here!
If you want to blame someone, blame her for not knowing that the prince came from that corner to Yongfu Palace. If she knew, she would just wait for him halfway. Why would she bother Concubine Zhong and Concubine Xian and even owe Concubine Xian a favor!
Although Concubine Zhong could not attend the palace banquet, she felt more and more sad when she saw other people's sons and thought that she only had a daughter and no prince, and then she wanted to leave.
Qin Qingyao racked her brains to think of an excuse, but at this moment, the child started crying.
The nanny saw that the baby had peed and needed a diaper change. Qin Qingyao immediately said, "Can I watch from the side? I've never seen how to change a baby's diaper!"
Lady Yao covered her mouth and giggled, "Look at how anxious the princess is. Could it be that you are also pregnant..."
Qin Qingyao blushed, "Not yet. I'm just preparing for a rainy day. I'm always ready, hehe!"
Lady Yao smiled with an expression that said "I know everything" and then instructed the nanny, "Don't take the child to the side hall. Change him right here by my bed. The princess doesn't mind the filth, so why should I, as a mother, be shy about it?"
"yes!"
Qin Qingyao turned to the increasingly impatient Concubine Zhong and said, "Aunt, why don't you go and greet Concubine Yun first? Since you've come to her palace, wouldn't it be inappropriate not to greet her?"
"You go first and ask for permission from Concubine Yun. If she doesn't mind, I'll go and pay my respects to her later."
Lady Yao spoke the truth, "If Concubine Yun knew you were in Yongfu Palace, she would have personally sent someone to invite you for a cup of tea. There's no reason to wait for her permission before paying your respects."
"Haha, we have to follow the rules, right? Hurry up and change the little prince's diaper. The child is crying so pitifully, he must be in so much pain."
Qin Qingyao successfully diverted everyone's attention to the child. Concubine Zhong went to the main hall to pay her respects to Concubine Yun. Qin Qingyao looked at the soft and fat boy and her heart softened like a ball of cotton.
But, are you Ling Jingyu's brother or son?
Not long after Concubine Zhong left, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived.
Logically speaking, as an adult man, it is not convenient for him to stroll around the harem except to pay his respects to the empress.
So Qin Qingyao was really curious about what the hell he was doing in Yongfu Palace today!
The prince arrived so suddenly that he came in before the servants had time to inform him.
But he still had some bottom line and stopped when he reached the main hall.
"I heard that the little prince suddenly fell ill. Is that true? What happened? Why is he crying so hard?"
Qin Qingyao hurried out. This was the first time she took a serious look at what the prince looked like. She had to admit that her aesthetic taste was really different from Lin Xiafeng's. She felt that both Dugu Yu and Ling Jingxuan looked more attractive than Ling Jingxuan!
"Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come to the harem?"
"Princess Wu Ling? Why are you here?"
"I'm a woman, so why can't I appear in the harem?"
The Crown Prince could tell Qin Qingyao's tone was bad, and he felt unhappy. He frowned and said impatiently, "I was also in a hurry and wanted to see how my little brother was doing. I wonder..."
"Who told you that the little prince was ill? Why did I tell you? Do you believe it just because I told you?"
"You just barged in without even saying anything? Do you know that Concubine Yao is still in confinement after giving birth? Do you know how ugly your actions will look in the eyes of others?"
"How dare you! Princess Wu Ling act arrogantly outside the palace, but this is the Imperial Palace. I will not tolerate your unruly behavior in front of me!"
Qin Qingyao was really about to die of anger. Was she being rude? She was clearly reminding him!
This idiot can't hear that others are deceiving her, nor can she hear that others are trying to persuade her, right?
Qin Qingyao took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and spoke slowly and respectfully, "Your Highness, you've been deceived. The little prince is fine and not sick. The messenger who deceived you must have ulterior motives. You'd better leave!"
The Crown Prince said, "When is it your turn to comment on where I'm going? You're simply unreasonable!"
Qin Qingyao was so angry that she was about to explode. Didn’t this psychopath understand the point?
Didn't you say you came to see if the little prince was ill? He's not sick. You've obviously been set up. Why don't you leave now? Are you waiting for someone to catch you in an affair?
If you want to die, don't implicate Concubine Yao and her newborn baby!
She repeatedly told herself to stay calm and not get angry, not to argue with this arrogant and stubborn donkey, and to talk to him nicely.
Then he opened his mouth and said, "Ling Jingyu, are you crazy? You're so stubborn and refuse to leave. Do you have a grudge against Miss Yao?"
The prince was stunned by Qin Qingyao's roar. He never expected that Princess Wu Ling was such a bold and daring shrew.
"What's it to you to care about what their children are like? Why are you being so aggressive? Don't tell me you're trying to use this incident to establish yourself as a respectful and brotherly person to please the Emperor."
Qin Qingyao had just said this casually, but when she saw the prince's expression suddenly change, she thought, "What the hell? Did I guess right?"
It turned out that the prince himself knew that whatever he did before had failed, which must have made the emperor dissatisfied with him. It just so happened that there was a new member in the palace on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the emperor was so happy that his heart was beaming with joy.
He wanted to get close to the little prince and make his presence felt in front of the emperor, so that the emperor would go to court after the fifteenth day and give him a lighter sentence.
Qin Qingyao is really impressed by this train of thought. You only see the side that is beneficial to you and turn a blind eye to the side that is harmful to you, right?
Are you just thinking about how delicious the fruit is and not caring whether it is poisonous or not?
"Your Highness! I've told you several times that the little prince is in perfect health and nothing's wrong. Can you please leave first? I've been rude today. After the palace banquet is over, I can go and apologize to you and let you do whatever you want!"
"But now, even if you don't think about yourself, can you let the little prince go?"
The prince has been having bad luck lately, so he is very unpopular. Even the queen would scold him whenever she met him, and she never has a good face.
So his mentality is about to explode.
If he wasn't afraid that the emperor wouldn't let him go after he went to court, would he have been desperate and thought of looking for this baby to play the role of a good brother?
He had tried so hard, but as soon as he entered the door, Qin Qingyao scolded him and said that he would harm the little prince?
That little thing isn't even worthy of being harmed by him!
The prince felt frustrated. He was born noble and the people around him were obedient to him. He had never been so unlucky before.
It would be fine if the emperor and empress scolded him, but who the hell is Qin Qingyao, that she also came to teach him a lesson?
"Why are you stopping me from visiting my child?"
Qin Qingyao was almost laughing out of anger, "What do you think, Prince? Could it be that I did something shameful in there and I'm afraid you'll see it?"
"This is what I now suspect!"
I doubt your uncle!
The prince was about to rush in after he finished speaking, but Concubine Yao had already gotten out of bed and was hiding behind the door holding a crying child, listening to the quarrel outside and trembling with fear.
Qin Qingyao really didn't expect that the prince would be such a rebellious and indiscriminate person with a second-year syndrome. The more he was told to leave, the more he refused to leave and was even ready to rush in.
Qin Qingyao was frightened by his actions. She was said to be in confinement after giving birth. What did you want to do by going in while she was lying in bed?
