Chapter 39 Concubine Fang Returns Home
[The cause was that a young man from the Zhang family fought in the school and killed the son of the Kang family.]
[As a result, the little boy was the only surviving child of the Kang family.]
[How can I not hate him when he was beaten to death by Zhang?]
[The Kang family only has one minor official, and facing the Zhang family who have a good relationship with the Queen Mother, they are simply like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. ]
[Even when the school was asked to expel the perpetrator, they didn't dare to do so. In order to curry favor with the Zhang family, they kept trying to please the perpetrator.]
[But what a coincidence! The deceased's eldest aunt was working as a maid in the palace.]
[Faced with the tragic death of his beloved nephew and the outbreak of plague, he decided to take a gamble and kill the Queen Mother.]
[As long as the Queen Mother falls, the Zhang family will be nothing. ]
[But, but, did my grandmother offend you? ]
[The Jingzhao Yin doesn't dare to intervene in these matters, can't you just report the case? ]
[Although my father is cruel, he is not a person who cannot distinguish right from wrong]
Emperor: Thank you for the compliment.
With a direction, it was easy to find out.
The Kang family was of course dealt with according to the law.
The dandy young man from the Zhang family who killed someone and refused to spare his life also ended up being pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded.
Including those who shelter the criminals, they will also be regarded as accomplices and punished.
The emperor told the empress dowager and Concubine Fang about this.
The Queen Mother felt that misfortune had befallen her because she had brought her close friend with her.
Concubine Fang almost fainted.
"My mother's family is so overbearing. It is my fault for not watching over it. I hope Your Majesty will allow me to return home to visit my family."
"I will definitely put the Zhang family in order and never cause any trouble to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother again."
Concubine Fang knew that she could not shirk her responsibility at this time.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the emperor nodded with satisfaction: "That's right."
The Queen Mother's dissatisfied expression also calmed down a little, and Concubine Fang knew that she had made the right move.
But the strange thing was that after he finished speaking, the princess in his Majesty's arms suddenly twisted her body, stretched out her two little arms towards her, and showed a cute and ingratiating smile.
[Take me there, take me there, I want to join in the fun, take me there~]
Emperor and Empress Dowager: ...
The emperor didn't want her to leave the palace.
But if Bei Jingchu's wish is not met, she will howl all night to express her dissatisfaction.
You can hear it even from next door.
For the sake of his own sleep, he reluctantly stuffed Bei Jingchu into Concubine Fang's arms: "The princess likes you very much."
Concubine Fang hugged the soft child and dared not move at all, for fear of the child falling.
Even when she got on the carriage going home, Concubine Fang was still confused.
How did you bring the princess out?
The child has a round face, like a little snowman carved out of jade, and his little hands are restlessly reaching out for the car curtain.
Concubine Fang carried her to a position where she could reach the curtain.
The child turned his head and grinned at her to express his gratitude.
Because he has no teeth, his pink gums are exposed, which makes him look cute in a not-so-smart way.
Then she opened the car curtain and some cold wind came in.
Concubine Fang was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she quickly closed the door.
But Bei Jingchu was unhappy and opened the car curtain again.
After repeating this over and over again, Concubine Fang's patience finally ran out.
"Close it, be careful of the cold. If you really want to see it, just open a crack."
After saying this, she slapped her forehead. She was really shocked. How could a two-month-old baby understand human language?
She actually tried to reason with a little brat.
As a result, the child only opened a small gap this time, then lay on it and looked out the window.
Really... too smart.
Cute and smart, Concubine Fang couldn't help but think of Qi, the eldest princess's biological mother.
If she had a child like this clever and cute little princess, she would love her so much that she would want to give her the best things in the world.
The greedy Qi even thought that Qi was not a prince.
Concubine Fang didn't understand why there was a mother in the world who would dislike her own child.
The baby's back was facing her, and even the back of his head was round.
Oh~ I wish it was really her child.
As she was thinking this, Concubine Fang heard a childish voice:
[It smells so good~ I am so hungry. Snacks nowadays don’t have additives, right? ]
[It’s a pity that I’m just a baby. I can only watch but can’t eat it. Hiss, hiss. 】
[Delicious food, just wait for it! I will come to pamper you when I grow up! 】
Concubine Fang:?
What?
Whose voice?
Who is this evildoer?
[Ah~ Tanghulu, that flat Tanghulu looks very appetizing. ]
[I like to eat this kind of hawthorn made with cooked hawthorn, but most businesses use raw hawthorn. ]
[Now that I finally see it, my mouth is watering. ]
Accompanied by the excited voice of the child and the crystal liquid dripping from the corner of her mouth onto her saliva pocket.
Concubine Fang finally confirmed that the voice was the little princess's thoughts.
Her first reaction was to pretend she didn't know.
If this matter were to be made public, and His Majesty doted on his daughter to the point that he no longer cared whether she was a monster or not, he would simply kill her to silence her and protect the princess.
If Your Majesty thinks that the eldest princess is acting strangely and is unclear, please punish her.
If one day she thinks of the love they once had as father and daughter, she will resent her for being the informer.
A little bit of resentment from the emperor is enough to bring her to eternal damnation.
Concubine Fang's way of dealing with the world is to be prudent and protect herself.
Furthermore, smelling the milk scent of the baby, she secretly didn't want the child to encounter any bad things.
Even if it was a monster, it wasn't her fault.
When they arrived at Zhang's house, Bei Jingchu was carried out of the car by Concubine Fang and met the Zhang family whom she had heard of for a long time.
Of course, it is notorious and has been heard for a long time.
The group knelt before Concubine Fang first, and then saw that she was holding a baby in her arms. They couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"
"This is the eldest princess."
Before they could even stand up straight, they had to kneel down again and kowtow to Bei Jingchu, wishing the princess a long life.
Given their identities, they have to kneel even if they are just babies.
After all the formalities of the visit were completed, everyone else finally left and it was time for Concubine Fang to chat with her parents.
Concubine Fang held Bei Jingchu and sat at the top, feeling as if it was just another day.
She is no longer the little girl who used to swallow her anger.
In fact, as the only daughter of Madam Zhang, Concubine Fang should have been pampered since childhood.
pity......
She gave a sarcastic smile.
As soon as Mrs. Zhang entered the room, she relaxed seeing that there were only three of them.
Of course, he ignored the servants and Bei Jingchu who was blowing bubbles in Concubine Fang's arms.
"Fang'er, your elder brother is about to ask about it. Your father has been very worried lately."
"He himself was dismissed by the Emperor. You don't know how heartbroken I am to see him like this."
"You are His Majesty's concubine. It is easy for you to see the emperor. Let your father ask the emperor for mercy."
"Let your elder brother out. We will make sure to keep him under control in the future."
