Chapter 420: Children's Matter
"Yuer, all you need to know is that now is your chance!"
"You must perform well and impress your father, understand?"
Bei Jingyu nodded, "Got it."
Concubine De smiled gently, as if she was comforted.
"Mom knew that Yu'er was the most obedient."
She seemed to suddenly remember something, as if she had just noticed the beads of sweat on Bei Jingyu's forehead, and said softly, "Mother asked someone to make you some mung bean soup to cool you down, and also prepared some ice cream."
"You must be hot after all this journey. Let's go inside and rest."
As if to compensate her for the separation from her son, the emperor sent her many rewards.
After getting dressed, Concubine De went to thank the emperor.
The palace was not hot, probably because of the weather in early autumn, but the emperor was wearing clothes that were suitable for late autumn.
Defei thought that the injuries he suffered during the assassination had not yet fully recovered.
It was really thrilling at the time, but Concubine De was glad for the assassination because after that, her Yu'er was appreciated and promoted.
Bei Jingyu sat beside her with the memorial in his hand, and Concubine De's smile deepened.
After she left, Bei Jingyu continued to read the contents of the memorial to the emperor who was exhausted.
After listening to him, the emperor did not tell him how to comment. He paused for a moment and asked casually, "What do you think, Yu'er?"
Faced with the sudden question, Bei Jingyu froze and his mind went blank.
The emperor didn't say anything either, as if waiting for his answer.
It seemed like only a moment, or a long time had passed before Bei Jingyu finally answered with a stiff upper lip: "Son, Son thinks... we can just follow the old rules."
Beiheng: "......"
He still gave it a chance and asked, "Why?"
"Because, because um...um...that..."
"Well, let me tell you."
Bei Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been pardoned.
After returning to the palace, Concubine De had no idea how much pressure her son was under, and she began to show off her power.
When I was paying my respects to the imperial concubine, I was asked if I was in a good mood.
She touched the rim of the cup with her slender fingers and boasted, "I saw the child yesterday, so I feel very happy."
"After all, at our age, what we look forward to most is having children."
"As long as my children are by my side and I can see them often, I will be in a good mood."
"Not to mention the child's success and pleasing His Majesty."
It was not known whether it was intentional or unintentional, but others glanced at the Noble Concubine and the Xian Concubine.
Everyone knows that these two concubines who have no children but occupy high positions treat the prince as their own son.
Now that the prince has been sent back to Shangyang Palace, we can no longer see each other often.
The Third Prince won the favor of His Majesty only after the Crown Prince lost power. It's really a case of one gaining while the other loses.
The imperial concubine's expression remained unchanged, as if she didn't understand the hidden meaning of her words. She waved her hand tiredly and said, "Since there is nothing to do in each palace, let's go today."
After everyone left, the dignified Concubine Fang immediately gnashed her teeth, wishing she could catch one of Concubine De's villains and stab him.
She complained to Concubine Xian: "Sister, look at how proud she is!"
"Isn't it just that my son has a little more face? He hasn't even been crowned a king, but our Chu'er is the prince!"
“They can compete!”
Concubine Xian was surprised and asked, "Is she really mad at you?"
"You didn't even show any anger at His Majesty's new favorite last month."
The imperial concubine was speechless: "How can the new concubine be the same? She has been in the palace for so many years, who still cares about that bastard?"
"This time it's about the kids!"
