Chapter 77 The original intention of insisting on taking a concubine for the prince
The other side.
As Luoxia walked back to the entrance of Fuyao Palace, she met Nanny Zhuang and Caixia coming back from the other end.
Caixia was holding the Crown Princess's newly made palace dress in her hands. She had just returned from the inner quarters of the East Palace.
She hurried forward and bowed to Madam Zhuang.
Madam Zhuang was puzzled: "Why are you running out instead of serving the Crown Princess in the palace?"
Luoxia replied without hesitation, "The Crown Princess asked me to go to Yaohua Palace and pass on a message to Wen Fengyi."
"What?"
"The Crown Princess said that Wen Fengyi's current residence is too small and she wants to move her to a bigger place."
Upon hearing this, a look of relief appeared in Madam Zhuang's eyes.
Her constant persuasion paid off, the Crown Princess finally came to her senses.
As a result, just as she was about to step into the main gate of Fuyao Palace, she heard Luoxia's next words.
"Yang Fengyi died, and the main hall of Yaohua Palace happened to be vacant. The Crown Princess asked Wen Fengyi to move there."
Nanny Zhuang staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Caixia originally wanted to help the person, but she was holding the Crown Princess's palace dress in her hands, so she didn't dare to dirty it.
Fortunately, Luoxia was quick-witted and just as Madam Zhuang was about to trip over the threshold...
She hurried forward and supported the man.
Luoxia was actually so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat: "Madam Zhuang, are you okay?"
Nanny Zhuang is the Crown Princess's wet nurse and is the most favored person in front of the Crown Princess.
If she fell down in front of them, they would definitely be punished.
Nanny Zhuang was holding a basket with some green silk threads in it.
At this moment, she no longer cared about replying to Luoxia. She stuffed the basket into her arms and ran into the Fuyao Palace.
She was so anxious.
How could the Crown Princess come up with such a stupid move?!
After this thought flashed through Madam Zhuang's mind, she rushed into the hall.
Xie Zhenrong was a little surprised to see her so anxious for the first time.
"Nanny, what happened?"
Nanny Zhuang took a deep breath and tried to keep her tone as calm as possible.
"Crown Princess, you can't let Wen Fengyi live in the main hall of Yaohua Palace."
Xie Zhenrong frowned: "What do you mean, Nanny?"
Madam Zhuang said, "That's where Yang Fengyi once lived. It's really inappropriate for you to arrange for Wen Fengyi to live there right after he died."
Xie Zhenrong was dissatisfied: "Nurse, what's wrong with that? There are countless palaces in the imperial palace where people have died. Others can live there, but why can't she, Wen Li'er?"
"Crown Princess, that's not the case. You know how much the Crown Prince cares about the child in Wen Fengyi's belly. He can't afford to make any mistakes."
Xie Zhenrong pursed her lips and said nothing.
So what if she cared? It wasn't her child.
She met Yang Guifei again today, and that woman arrogantly showed off in front of the Queen Mother and the Empress.
She was showing off that the foolish emperor had promoted another brother from her mother's side.
Looking at her indifferent mother, Xie Zhenrong wanted to rush forward and slap Yang Guifei.
A concubine who is favored and has children will become the second Yang Guifei.
She didn't want to end up like the queen one day.
Madam Zhuang was still advising: "If Wen Fengyi gets scared after moving in and accidentally hurts the child, or something more serious happens, the prince will probably lose his heart towards you."
Xie Zhenrong's eyes instantly became extremely cold.
"If I don't bring that child to my side after he's born, he'll become a major hidden danger! Even if the Crown Prince resents me and feels cold towards me, I'll get rid of that child!"
Madam Zhuang’s eyes widened instantly.
She quickly glanced at the door and winked at Caixia and Luoxia.
The two of them lowered their heads and went to guard the door.
Only then did Madam Zhuang sigh deeply.
"Given the precedent of Yang Fengyi harming children, it would not be wise for you to take action."
"Yang Fengyi has the entire Yang family behind him, and the prince simply beat him to death."
"You and the prince have been married for four years. Don't you know him well?"
"Even if you are the Crown Princess, if you do anything to harm the Crown Prince, even if His Highness doesn't kill you outright, he will definitely cripple you."
Xie Zhenrong stared at Madam Zhuang in disbelief, her eyes full of anger.
"You! Said! What!?! Say it again to me!"
Caixia and Luoxia, who were guarding the palace gate, looked at each other and couldn't help but shrink their necks.
Aunt Zhuang is worthy of being Aunt Zhuang, she is so bold in what she says.
In fact, a layer of cold sweat had already broken out on Madam Zhuang's back, but now that she had spoken, she could only bite the bullet and continue speaking.
"Crown Princess, the Crown Prince hates quarrels between his wives and concubines, and he will tolerate a woman with a malicious mind even more. Are you sure you can bear the consequences of His Highness completely estranged from you?"
Xie Zhenrong's pupils suddenly constricted.
Two years ago, someone also said something similar to her. That person was the prince.
——Zhen Rong, if I take a concubine, some uncontrollable variables may occur in the future, and it may even cause us to separate. Are you sure you can bear the consequences? ——
——Your Highness, I have been childless for two years. If I do not take a concubine for Your Highness, I will become the target of public criticism. I beg Your Highness to take a concubine to continue the lineage. I believe that Your Highness will not do such a thing as favoring a concubine over his wife——
Aunt Zhuang continued to persuade earnestly:
"When there are too many women in the harem, they'll do anything to win his favor. His Highness's words two years ago were out of concern that if he took a concubine, you would become one of those women who would do anything to win his favor. That's why he warned you beforehand, not wanting you to become the person he hates. Crown Princess, don't you understand?"
Xie Zhenrong's body couldn't help but soften and he fell back slightly.
She thought carefully about her original intention of insisting on taking a concubine for the prince.
He was used to seeing the ways the women in the harem used to compete for favor and he hated the chaotic environment in the harem.
Even if he doesn't love her, he is willing to stay with her alone.
That is something that many women would beg for but cannot get.
But she was too anxious and too scared at the time.
She was unable to give birth to a child and was also worried that her position as Crown Princess would be unstable and she would be divorced and sent home.
The children born to those concubines in the Duke's Mansion are just waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
How could she do what they wanted?
She just needs to take in a few concubines for His Highness, and when His Highness has children, she will bring the children to her to raise.
By then, she will have a legitimate son. Who can shake her position as the Crown Princess?
But she thought a lot, but she never thought that he was unwilling to give her a child born by a concubine to raise.
She hadn't even imagined that he would dote on a concubine so much.
Originally, she was just an ambitious woman with goals and ideals.
She hopes to become the most noble woman in Dayan and a role model for all women in the world.
How come she has become such a capricious and bad-tempered woman now?
Is it worth it to completely break away from the Crown Prince just for a little Fengyi and the baby in her belly whose gender has not yet been determined?
Xie Zhenrong's body trembled slightly. After thinking for a long time, he finally calmed down.
"Nurse, then tell me, which palace would be most suitable for me to arrange for Wen Fengyi?"
Nanny Qin's anxious heart was completely relieved.
"The Crown Princess can discuss this matter with the Crown Prince and follow his wishes."
Xie Zhenrong pursed her lips and nodded.
