Chapter 887: The Prince is in a hurry
When Concubine Liu heard what the maid said, a hint of sadness flashed across her eyes.
Her body was damaged to the core, how could she give birth?
If it weren't for the accidental miscarriage, the young prince of Cheng'en Palace would have been born long ago.
And she had already become a princess.
"Okay, don't say anything more, just go."
Concubine Liu waved her hand and sent the little maid away.
The little maid reluctantly agreed and left the inner room.
Chunxi, the head maid who was packing boxes in the outer room, stopped what she was doing, glared at the little maid, and tapped her forehead with her finger.
"You..." Chunxi said in a low voice.
The little maid stuck out her tongue and ran away quickly.
The little maid's name was Chunlai. Concubine Liu kept her by her side because of her lively personality.
Sometimes, listening to the chirping of spring birds, Concubine Liu would feel much more cheerful.
It is precisely for this reason that Concubine Liu does not usually restrict Chunlai.
To the extent that Chunlai often said whatever he wanted in front of Concubine Liu.
When the maid Chunxi saw Chunlai running away, a look of worry appeared on her face.
Then, without packing up the boxes, he pushed the door and entered the inner room.
"My Lady Concubine, please don't listen to Chunlai's nonsense. She's young and naive." Chunxi said, "Even if another concubine gave birth to a son and became a princess, as long as the prince values you, the new princess wouldn't dare to embarrass you! Moreover, you have always been kind to the concubines in the mansion. Anyone with a conscience should return the favor."
After hearing Chunxi's words, Concubine Liu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you embarrass me. At worst, I will leave the palace and come here to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, praying for the prince for the rest of my life."
Concubine Liu paused for a moment before continuing, "Your Highness saved my life and treated me very well. I only hope that Your Highness can fulfill his wish and live a long life. I also hope that the princess can leave here, find a husband, and happily have children..."
Chunxi looked at Concubine Liu with a complicated expression and said, "Concubine, you are too kind. If the princess hadn't bumped into you..."
"Chunxi!" Concubine Liu's face changed and she shouted harshly.
Chunxi immediately fell silent.
She naturally knew that this matter was a taboo in the palace.
Because the prince's only daughter, Princess Linghua, the legitimate daughter of the late Princess Cheng'en, bumped into the pregnant Concubine Liu, and killed the male fetus that was already forming in Concubine Liu's belly.
After this incident, Concubine Liu was injured and could not give birth again.
Out of self-blame, Princess Linghua ran to Tianlong Temple to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, praying to the Buddha to give the palace another boy.
Moreover, she declared that she would not leave Tianlong Temple until there was no male heir born in Prince Cheng'en's Palace.
Princess Linghua is the prince's only daughter. She has been spoiled since childhood and can't get anything she wants.
As a result, he has a particularly stubborn personality.
No matter how hard the prince and Concubine Liu tried to persuade her, she refused to change her mind.
I have been in Tianlong Temple for three years now.
The prince is anxious!
He sought medical advice and prayed to gods and Buddhas for a son.
There is no way, because I don’t have a son, and I don’t even have a daughter.
What's more, my daughter is getting older. If the marriage is delayed any longer, she won't be able to find a good husband!
"Chunxi, you have been by my side for many years, you should know what to say and what not to say." Concubine Liu said: "This time I will fine you... one month's salary."
Concubine Liu paused for a moment, and ultimately did not punish the girl too harshly.
"Thank you, Concubine." Chunxi quickly knelt and said, "I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again."
For a maid like her, monthly wages were not the main source of income.
The punishment that Concubine Liu gave her was just a minor punishment.
Concubine Liu nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he asked, "Have you put away the things prepared for the princess?"
"In reply to the Concubine, everything has been put in place." Chunxi replied.
"Call two maids over and take it to the princess."
"yes!"
Chunxi agreed and walked out quickly to call for help.
Concubine Liu looked at the huge brass incense burner, and a look of sadness appeared on her face.
Is it true that she can never give birth again in this life?

"Can I have another child... No! Do I have a son in my destiny?" King Cheng'en chased after a gray-robed monk, shouting, "Master monk, can you please tell me straight out?"
The gray-robed monk smiled like Maitreya Buddha and said, "Your Highness, if it is destined for you, it will come to you eventually. If it is not destined for you, don't force it."
"That's bullshit!" King Cheng'en said carelessly, "Can't you just explain it clearly? Is it in my destiny? You just keep dithering and acting mysterious all day long..."
The gray-robed monk was not annoyed at all after hearing King Cheng'en's words, and his face still had that smile of saving all living beings.
"Don't worry, my lord. The opportunity has not yet arrived."
"I've heard this sentence hundreds of times. Are you deliberately trying to scare me, Master Monk?" King Cheng'en said suspiciously, "You won't wait until I'm seventy or eighty years old to keep saying this, will you?"
After King Cheng'en finished speaking, he became more and more suspicious the more he thought about it.
Could it be that the opportunity that the great monk mentioned will come in my next life?
Thinking of this, King Cheng'en couldn't help but become anxious.
His daughter is still in the temple, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures. She can't stay here forever, right?
If he really wasn't destined to have a son, he would have to find a way to create one quickly.
At worst, I can find an orphan from outside and say that he is my own descendant.
No matter what, we have to trick our daughter back home to get married first, right?
If I don't find a husband for my daughter soon, all those outstanding young men will be picked up by others!
How could the rest of those ugly guys be worthy of my daughter?
"Hey, great monk, you're not going to send me to my next life with just one sentence, are you?" King Cheng'en shouted, "We won't do that! Can't you just say what you want to say and fart when you want to fart?"
As the Su family members were walking along, they happened to hear King Cheng'en's words.
Old Man Su: “…”
Who is this?
That's so...sounds so good!
Tang Bao: “…”
So rough!
The other members of the Su family were also puzzled.
After all, this is an important Buddhist place, and there was not even a single person speaking loudly along the way.
It seems that speaking loudly is disrespectful to gods and Buddhas.
As a result, someone in the inner hall was speaking so loudly.
Moreover, what he said was so... down-to-earth.
Everyone in the Su family was wondering, and when they turned the corner they saw King Cheng'en and the gray-robed monk.
The young novice monk who was leading the way immediately stepped forward when he saw the gray-robed monk.
Putting his hands together, he said respectfully, "Master, this donor would like you to preside over the lighting of two eternal lamps for their deceased relatives."
Old Man Su quickly bowed respectfully to the gray-robed monk.
"Thank you, Master." said Old Man Su.
The gray-robed monk nodded kindly.
"Donor, please follow me..."
The gray-robed monk stopped talking before he could finish his words.
His eyes fell on Tang Bao.
