Chapter 308 An Arrogant New Concubine Enters the Palace? The Empress Will Teach Her a Lesson!
Mingchu felt much better these past few days after seeing the child, and she realized that what she had said to Meng Yanzhi before was really too much. Now, seeing Meng Yanzhi, she was filled with embarrassment and shame: "Miss, what brings you here?"
"I know you're not feeling well, so I came to check on you."
"The Crown Prince said he wanted to take you back, but I didn't agree. The child is still with you now. Mingchu, what are you really thinking?"
Meng Yanzhi looked at Mingchu with a worried expression.
Mingchu thought for a moment and then said, "Miss, I know that there are such rules in the palace. The eldest grandson can stay in the palace to be raised, and the Crown Prince's concubine can also stay in the harem. So I want to raise the child here. Is that alright?"
Meng Yanzhi finally understood that Ming Chu most likely didn't want to go back, but he also didn't want to be separated from his child or fall out with the Crown Prince.
If she takes the child and runs away, the child's identity will never be recognized again, which is absolutely unfair to the child.
So, having no other choice, this was the only solution that Ming Chu could come up with.
Meng Yanzhi wasn't angry. Instead, she nodded in satisfaction and smiled gently at Mingchu: "My Mingchu has really grown up now. It seems that you are indeed different from before after becoming a mother. Since you don't want to go back, then stay by my side. I'll let you live in Cherry Garden. You can stay with the child and watch him grow up slowly, okay?"
Ming Chu originally thought that Meng Yanzhi was angry with her and would never forgive her or talk to her again. However, she did not expect that Meng Yanzhi would not hold those messy things against her at all and would still treat her well as always.
Her eyes suddenly reddened, and she hugged Meng Yanzhi tightly, saying, "Miss, I will never leave you again."
"The Crown Princess will be chosen soon, and I'm worried about you going to the Crown Prince's residence in your current state."
"Alright, let's settle on this then."
Meng Yanzhi gently patted Mingchu's head, took a handkerchief, and softly wiped away her tears.
"You've just given birth, you can't keep crying, or you'll be tearing up in the wind later. You're a mother now, you need to learn to take good care of yourself, okay?"
Meng Yanzhi arranged for two female doctors and four maids to serve Mingchu before leaving with peace of mind.
She left feeling relieved, but Qingdao's face was full of unhappiness.
Qingdao stood by the bed, looking at Mingchu with dissatisfaction, and snorted: "Now you're satisfied, you've got everything you wanted, so you should behave yourself from now on, right?"
"How am I being restless?" Ming Chu frowned and looked at Qing Dao with confusion, not understanding where this person's hostility towards him came from.
She sighed and then said, "I know you don't like me, and I won't argue with you. Right now, I just want to stay here and raise my child quietly!"
"What if the Crown Prince comes to you for help?"
"Even if you can hold on, you'll still abandon the Empress again!"
Qingdao snorted disdainfully, then stood up and strode outside, not even bothering to glance at Mingchu anymore.
Mingchu watched Qingdao's retreating figure, and tears fell again. It wasn't that she didn't know that her current state was wrong, but she really couldn't think of a better way. She had made one mistake after another, and she really shouldn't have married the Crown Prince. After becoming his woman, her life was not as easy as before.
If I could always stay by the young lady's side, perhaps now...
Unfortunately, there aren't that many "maybes".
Zang Shui initially disagreed with letting Zang Huan'er marry into the family, but after testing the waters, she directly proceeded with the marriage. Fearing that things might change if she delayed, Zang Huan'er entered the inner palace on the third day, specifically the Chaoyang Palace, which was very close to the Haitang Palace.
When a concubine first enters the palace, she must pay her respects to the Empress. So, although Consort Huan was unwilling, she still came to Haitang Palace and knelt on the ground to perform the proper greetings.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects."
Meng Yanzhi looked at the tea that she was handed over, sneered, and spilled it on her.
"ah!"
Consort Huan looked at Meng Yanzhi in disbelief. She never expected that after just over a year apart, Meng Yanzhi would have changed so much.
Meng Yanzhi looked at her coldly: "How can Consort Huan be so clumsy? She can't even do such a simple thing right?"
"Your Majesty, you did this on purpose!"
"Light knife, slap in the face."
Meng Yanzhi didn't give her any face and coldly snorted.
Qingdao, without any hesitation, strode forward and slapped Huanfei hard across the face several times with both hands.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Why are you humiliating me like this!"
Huanfei never expected that Meng Yanzhi would become so shameless and scoundrel-like.
“You are a concubine, and I am the Empress. It is only natural that I should instruct and educate you. Otherwise, wouldn’t you cause even more trouble?” Meng Yanzhi sneered disdainfully. “The inner palace of Canglan Kingdom is so chaotic that the princess it has educated doesn’t understand any rules at all. It’s truly astonishing.”
"Qingdao, send Granny Feng to Chaoyang Palace to properly train this new Consort Huan. If she is not trained well, she shall not be allowed to see the Emperor."
After Meng Yanzhi finished speaking, she got up and walked towards the inner room.
"Meng Yanzhi, you!"
Huanfei turned pale with anger, gritted her teeth and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Qingdao, who then slapped her twice more.
"Your Highness, please have some self-respect. How dare you shout the Empress's name like that?"
Consort Huan had never suffered such humiliation since childhood. Now, she had just entered the palace and had been severely beaten. Where would she put her dignity?
This is just the beginning; Meng Yanzhi will definitely not let this bitch off easily!
She went into the inner room, glanced at Little Corn, and then said coldly, "Now, do you feel better?"
"That's wonderful!" Little Corn said honestly, "Your Majesty is mighty, she should be like this!"
Hmm, that's more like it.
Meng Yanzhi nodded in satisfaction, smiled, and asked, "Is everything arranged over there?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, we guarantee she won't have a single moment of comfort!"
Little Corn's eyes were filled with hatred; the thought of Grandpa Wang's death made her grit her teeth in hatred.
When Consort Huan entered the palace, she brought two maids with her, but they were immediately detained by Meng Yanzhi and thrown into the Shenxing Division to do hard labor. This is the benefit of power, and this is the difference between the Empress and the Consorts.
Meng Yanzhi is not a power-hungry person, but back then, Consort Liu used her power to force Eunuch Wang to his death, so Meng Yanzhi wants her to taste the pain of being suppressed by power!
