Chapter 102: Persuading the Crown Prince to Treat Everyone Equally
After Wen Li'er, Lin Fujia and the other three entered the hall, they waited for almost quarter of an hour before the Crown Princess slowly came out.
The four of them hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Xie Zhenrong's gaze swept over them and finally landed on Wen Li'er.
"Is Xing Yi well these days? Has the wet nurse reported that his diet and sleep are all normal?"
Wen Li'er quickly replied, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. Everything is fine."
Xie Zhenrong nodded: "Xing Yi is His Highness's first son, and no mistakes can be made. Thank you for your careful conduct in your daily life."
Although Wen Li'er didn't understand the meaning of her instructions, she nodded in response.
How could she not care about her child?
After everyone took their seats, the Crown Princess said the same thing as usual.
It basically means to strictly abide by the palace rules, not bring shame to the Eastern Palace, and serve the prince well.
After saying that, Xie Zhenrong picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Then he put down the teacup and his eyes fell on Wen Li'er again.
The tone sounded relatively gentle, but it carried an unquestionable meaning.
"Dear Concubine Wen, His Highness is so busy with his affairs that he inevitably neglects the affairs of the harem. As Xing Yi's biological mother, His Highness has shown great favor to you, and you should also share His Highness's worries."
Wen Li'er's heart tightened, and she looked up slightly, with a look of innocence and confusion in her eyes.
"What the Crown Princess said is true. I wonder what I can do for Your Highness?"
When Xie Zhenrong saw her pretending to be stupid, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
Her tone remained gentle. "What I'm saying is that although His Highness dotes on you, matters in the harem must ultimately be treated equally. You should advise His Highness more often and not neglect the other sisters. After all, harmony in the Eastern Palace is what the Queen Mother and the Empress wish to see most."
Wen Li'er blinked, still looking confused.
She said softly, "What the Crown Princess said is true. I will definitely keep it in mind. However... Your Highness is usually preoccupied with government affairs. I really dare not say too much, for fear of upsetting His Highness."
Xie Zhenrong frowned slightly, obviously a little impatient with Wen Lier's excuse.
But due to her status as the Crown Princess, she could only suppress her displeasure and said calmly, "You only need to mention it to His Highness, and he will naturally understand."
Wen Li'er lowered her head and replied respectfully, "I understand."
She understood, but she didn't promise to tell His Highness.
What a joke! She's not stupid, how could she possibly go and tell His Highness this?
Besides, she has no control over His Highness's thoughts.
Xie Zhenrong added, "It's good that you understand this matter. I'm only concerned about the harmony of the Eastern Palace. You should all go back and think carefully about it."
Wen Li'er and the other three quickly stood up, bowed, and left the hall.
After leaving the Fuyao Palace, Lin Fujia followed Wen Li'er and wanted to go to the Qionghua Palace with her.
A sarcastic laugh was heard in the distance.
Feng Yingying was very annoyed.
She thought that since the Crown Princess had already spoken, Wen Li'er would not dare to disobey.
Unexpectedly, she pretended to be stupid and was obviously unwilling to share the prince's favor.
It’s the same as not responding just now.
We must think of a way, otherwise when will these days end?
When Wen Li'er and Lin Fujia looked over, they only saw two figures leaving from another path.
Lin Fujia looked at Wen Li'er, a little worried: "The Crown Princess asked me to persuade His Highness to treat everyone equally. If I ignore her, I'm afraid the Crown Princess will be dissatisfied with me and..."
Wen Li'er sighed. The Crown Princess had been dissatisfied with her for a long time, so why should she care more?
She looked towards the palace wall in the distance, patted Lin Fujia's hand, and her tone was somewhat helpless.
"Don't worry, I gave birth to your highness's eldest son after all. As long as I don't make any big mistakes, the Crown Princess won't do anything to me no matter how unhappy she is."
Lin Fujia thought about it and nodded.
The two of them walked slowly back to Qionghua Palace.
As soon as she entered the palace, Wen Li'er saw the prince sitting in the palace, holding a book in his hand with a focused expression.
She was a little surprised. It seemed to be the first time that His Highness came here at this hour.
She stepped forward and saluted, followed closely by Lin Fujia.
"Why is Your Highness here today?"
The prince raised his head and saw Lin Fujia behind him. He thought for a moment and remembered that she was a Fengyi in the East Palace.
Lin Fujia's heart instantly rose to her throat when she was given a cold glance by him, and she saluted in a panic.
"I pay my respects to Your Highness. May Your Highness be blessed with good health."
Yan Shixu nodded: "No need to be polite."
Lin Fujia hadn't seen the prince for a long time. Just as she was about to say something, Yan Shixu looked at Wen Li'er.
His tone was much gentler than when he was talking to Lin Fujia.
"The Grand Master has asked for leave today, so I came to see Xiao Xiao and give this to you."
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to her.
When Wen Li'er saw the handwriting on the envelope, her eyes lit up instantly.
The results of the imperial examination were announced, and her parents wrote to her to tell her the results.
Wen Li'er took the letter and couldn't wait to open it.
Yan Shixu stopped her and said, "Let's tear it down later. Come with me to see Xiaoxiao first."
"good."
Wen Li'er carefully put the letter in her sleeve and followed him to Xiaoxiao's bedroom.
Lin Fujia followed silently behind him.
