Chapter 254 Better than my mother
"I am very happy to see you become the crown prince. I have already informed your majesty that you will be given an additional six months' worth of silver as a token of congratulations."
I don’t know what the prince’s concubines thought, but everyone else expressed their gratitude sincerely.
Just when I was feeling happy, even happier news came.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here."
There is something magical about this announcement.
The prince is not allowed to enter the harem, and men and women are required to stay away from it.
Only this time, the prince is the princess, so some of the agreed rules are no longer applicable.
Bei Jingchu walked in and completed the formalities of greeting the elders.
The noble concubine couldn't hide her joy at all, and asked with a smile: "Chu Chu is busy moving the bedroom now, why did you come here?"
Bei Jingchu replied: "I have received guidance from Concubine Gui and Concubine Xian. Although they are not my biological mother, they are better than my biological mother."
"When a child has achieved glory, he should announce the good news to his mother in person."
Others secretly looked at Concubine De's expression.
Just now they said they had nothing to do with the prince, but the prince came as soon as he had time and said they were just like his own mother.
Defei was stared at by the concubines, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Concubine Yi was a talkative woman, and she immediately praised, "The Crown Prince and his two sisters have a really good relationship. The bond between mother and son is not just blood."
Concubine De turned her head away with disdain. She was the only one who knew how to pretend to be a good person.
Having given birth to a smart son, she didn't believe that this woman had never thought about the position of crown prince.
Now it's occupied by someone, and it's still completely leak-proof.
Because of Bei Jingchu's arrival, after lunch, Concubine Gui sent the guests away, leaving only her and Concubine Xian to have a good chat with the young fellow.
Bei Jingchu's cheek was pinched again.
"Chuchu's little face doesn't feel good now. Did you get lazy and not put on any lip balm?"
She silently took away the evil jade claws of a certain noble concubine. Doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have any respect?
The imperial concubine patted her on the shoulder and said, "Child, you and His Majesty have done something great without making any noise."
"You don't know that when I got the news, I thought I was dreaming."
"But I wouldn't even dream of something this big."
Bei Jingchu raised her head and said proudly, "You cowardly kid, I dare to dream!"
Concubine: ...Is this the point?
Concubine Xian only had one instruction: "Don't waste your martial arts."
"Your status is different now. If something unexpected happens, the disturbance it causes will affect the entire Daiyue."
"Guards are important, but we are always afraid of mistakes."
After saying this, Concubine Xian tried to hold back for a moment, but still couldn't help complaining: "Your Majesty used to be good at martial arts, but after ascending the throne, he just sits there all day, hunched over the pile of memorials, as if he was welded to the spot."
"I don't know how dilapidated he is now. I am too embarrassed to challenge him to a fight, fearing that the exchange would turn into an assassination."
Bei Jingchu scratched her chin.
My goodness, it turns out that Aye was also good at martial arts.
But I've never seen him practice.
I don’t know who is stronger between Aye and her.
Can she beat Aye down now?
The filial daughter was thinking of the beautiful picture.
On the other side, the concubines dispersed and returned to their own palaces.
Defei's gloomy expression did not improve.
The maid comforted her: "My Lord, when His Highness was still young, the Crown Prince saved him."
Concubine De was furious: "It's not that I forgot your kindness, but I was caught off guard and I feel uncomfortable."
She and Bei Jingchu have a good relationship. The silly boy always likes to get close to his elder sister, and because of the favor they showed each other nine years ago, they exchange gifts every New Year.
She even fantasized that when her son ascended the throne in the future, he would make Princess Tianzhen the most honored and favored eldest princess.
As a result, this girl did not follow the usual path and jumped to the throne of the crown prince!
If it weren't for this accident, her son, as the eldest son, would have had a great chance of succeeding to the throne.
When she thought of Concubine Yi again, she became even angrier.
"I just don't believe that Concubine Yi is really as indifferent as she appears to be."
"The Sixth Prince is obviously smart, but he is not as smart as the Crown Prince was in his youth."
"Your Majesty also has high expectations for the Sixth Prince. I don't believe that Concubine Yi has never had a beautiful dream."
"Who would believe me if I acted so proud and arrogant now?"
Concubine De gritted her teeth and said, "Go back and prepare a gift and send it to the Eastern Palace."
No matter how reluctant you are, you have to save face and give the gift.
Concubine Yi was also selecting a gift for Bei Jingchu, and Lao Liu followed beside her.
"You are neither the eldest nor the heir apparent, but you have the advantage of being smart, so you have great potential."
"But since Your Majesty is open-minded and sees your daughter."
"When it comes to virtue, we mother and son have to admit that you are indeed not as good as your elder sister."
Lao Liu nodded in agreement.
When he entered the hall, his eldest sister had already left.
Although she is not in Hongwenguan, her legend is everywhere.
Master Jiang and his friends always like to use the eldest sister's story as an example, and then say: "You are the worst class I have ever taught!"
In Laoliu's memory, he spent more time playing with his older sister when he was a child.
After he entered the central hall, the eldest sister has been very busy.
When we meet occasionally, we just greet each other hurriedly.
People around were talking about her.
No matter what her reputation was outside, in Hongwenguan, Princess Tianzhen would always be a genius admired by all students.
So when his mother said that he was not as capable as his elder sister, the sixth child did not show any rebellious mentality at all.
I'm used to it.
Concubine Yi has a good attitude.
"You are a child who has no ambition to begin with. You will collapse easily after a little setback."
"It's all thanks to my clever brain."
"Your Majesty, there are few princes. I was worried that you would be pushed up because of your talent."
"You won't be able to bear it then."
"Now you can just eat and wait for death."
Lao Liu: ...Just keep your underwear on, mom. There's no need to tell everything.
