Chapter 60 Why Not Let Her Be the Queen
After Concubine Lan fell ill, even though Concubine Ning came to take care of her every day, her condition did not improve.
Because of her worry, Concubine Chen naturally came to Yanhe Palace every day.
Even the Great Chu Emperor came that day. Seeing that everyone was there, he looked at Concubine Chen Gui and asked, "How is Concubine Lan?"
Concubine Chen Guifei just shook her head: "It's still the same as before."
Seeing the Great Chu Emperor coming, Concubine Lan insisted that the maid beside her help her up, leaned on the bed, bit her almost bloodless lips, and said weakly: "Your Majesty is here."
The Great Chu Emperor hurriedly came forward and sat beside her couch, holding her hand and saying, "Why do you have to get up?"
Concubine Lan shook her head, her frail appearance made people feel particularly distressed, and she said, "I have been ill for a few days, and I have always had something in my mind to tell Your Majesty."
"Sister is already in this state. Why don't you wait until you feel better before talking about anything?" Concubine Ning was worried about her and quickly spoke up to stop her.
Lan Fei just chuckled: "It's okay to say a few words."
Fang turned to look at the Great Chu Emperor: "Sister Chen said a few days ago that she wanted to hold a spring banquet, but now it has been delayed because of my illness. I have thought about it for a long time. Sister Wenfei is a quiet person. It would be better to trouble Sister Ningfei to assist in the management of the six palaces."
Then he looked at Concubine Ning again.
Concubine Ning quickly said, "No."
Then she looked at the Great Chu Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I am not capable of this. It is better for me to wait for my sister to get better."
"This will tire Concubine Ning." The Great Chu Emperor agreed to Concubine Lan's proposal and looked at Concubine Lan, "You should take a good rest."
Only then did Concubine Lan nodded and lay back down.
Before everyone left, Concubine Lan asked Concubine Chen to stay behind, saying that she wanted to see Wanwan more. Concubine Ning, on the other hand, kept looking back at the Yanhe Palace. When the emperor saw her like this, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's all right, Your Majesty." Concubine Ning said it was all right, but there was hesitation in her words.
"Just speak up." The Great Chu Emperor said when he saw her like this.
"I've been thinking, I've been staying in Yu's study every day in recent days. Now your majesty has given me the power to assist in managing the six palaces. Will Sister Chen be angry?" Concubine Ning looked at the Emperor of Great Chu with innocence.
Seeing her like this, the Great Chu Emperor laughed out loud: "Don't worry, Concubine Chen has been on the battlefield, so she won't care about these trivial matters."
Concubine Chen Gui, who stayed in Yanhe Palace, was held by Concubine Lan's hand: "Qingyan, my illness this time is strange. After thinking about it, I am afraid..."
Concubine Chen immediately understood her intention: "Sister, are you afraid that someone will target the Second Prince and start with you?"
Concubine Lan nodded immediately, her eyes full of worry.
"Qingyan, Jinyu expressed his feelings to me that day, saying that he would assist Jinyao in the future. I was very happy to see that they were getting along well, but..."
"Sister," Concubine Chen Gui pulled Concubine Lan's hand, "Since the children have chosen this path, let them go on well. We will help them if we can. There is no need to worry too much."
After hearing this, Concubine Lan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Sister, you are right."
Seeing that Concubine Lan had let go of her worries, Concubine Chen Gui spoke again: "Don't worry, sister. I will inform the Crown Prince later and ask him to arrange two more secret guards to protect Jin Yu. "
After saying this, he pulled Lan Fei's hand again and said, "Sister, you just need to take good care of yourself and don't let Jin Yu worry anymore. I see that Jin Yu has lost weight."
Since Concubine Lan handed over the power of assisting in managing the six palaces to Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning not only went to Yu's study every day to take care of the health of Emperor Chu, but also handled the affairs of the six palaces very properly. Concubine Chen Gui was really very happy.
After returning to the palace that day, he told Jinxin and Jinyu: "I saw that Concubine Ning handled things very decisively and resolutely. I think her mother must have put a lot of effort in teaching her when she was a concubine."
"It seems that Her Majesty is enjoying some free time." Jinyu joked as she washed Concubine Chen's hands.
"I think that although Concubine Ning entered the palace late, she is a good material to be the Empress." Concubine Chen Gui couldn't help but sigh.
Jinxin and Jinyu did not say anything after hearing this. They knew in their hearts that the Queen entered the palace because of the relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were to ascend the throne to become emperor in the future, he would not make the Queen the Queen even if the throne was vacant. They could only sigh in their hearts.
Lu Xingwan doesn't think so.
[I think so too. It would be better if Concubine Ning could be the Empress. Mother would not even have to take on the power to manage the six palaces. She could just be a leisurely concubine and live a happy life.]
[If we don’t have enough money in the future, we can ask our eldest brother for it. If that doesn’t work, we can ask our eldest sister because her husband’s family has money.]
[Oh! If it really doesn't work, I'll use my little brain to make some money for my mother.]
[In short, mother should have more free time and do what she likes. She is now annoyed to death by all these chores in the uterus.]
When Concubine Chen Gui heard what Lu Xingwan said, she agreed very much. She entered the palace to enjoy herself, not to manage other people's household affairs. Now she is not as happy as when she was on the battlefield, fighting in the wind and rain.
Wanwan's suggestion is very good. It seems that I will have to mention it to the emperor later. Anyway, there is no other candidate except Concubine Ning now.
And in Puwen Palace, since the day when the Third Prince came, Cui's conditions seemed to be better than before, and she had the same conditions as she had in Changqiu Palace.
Although Cui was reluctant, she still remembered her son's request, so she brought some food and went to the side hall where Lady Fang lived. "How are you today, sister?"
But seeing that the noble lady was without makeup, she looked even more haggard. She hurriedly stepped forward and held her hand: "Sister, don't torture yourself like this. You haven't even finished your confinement yet. There are still many days to come. You have to look forward to it."
Lady Fang still looked straight ahead and said, "Your Highness has the Third Prince here, so naturally there is hope. What do I have to offer?"
"What are you talking about, sister?" Cui said to comfort her. "If I have a chance to go out, I will definitely ask His Majesty for mercy on your behalf."
"Really?" Lady Fang's eyes lit up and she grabbed Cui's hand.
Although Cui was disdainful in her heart, she still showed kindness on her face: "That's natural. After all, my sister is innocent."
"You and your child are just the sacrifices of the fight between Noble Yun and Concubine Chen. Who of them cares about your life or death?"
Cui said, turned around and sighed: "No wonder people in the harem are fighting with each other. Power is the best guarantee."
The noble lady behind him suddenly changed her expression. Yes, it was Concubine Chen. It was because of her that he was previously placed under house arrest by His Majesty. Now, because of her, he was sent to the cold palace and his child was gone.
"Noble Concubine Chen..." Noble Lady Fang seemed to be extremely hateful and she even gritted her teeth.
When Cui heard her words, a smile appeared on her face.
