Chapter 905: The Heartbroken Concubine
"Hurry! Wait on the way out of the palace!" Concubine Shu anxiously ordered her personal maid, Bihe, "Tell her that I heard that the little girl has taken good care of the Third Prince over the years. I am grateful and want to thank her in person..."
After hearing what her master said, Bihe's mouth twitched.
If you don’t know this, you would think that the Third Prince is the master’s biological son!
However, you still have to listen to your master.
So, Bihe agreed and took two palace maids to quickly block the people on the road.
On this side, the virtuous concubine gave instructions to her wet nurse, Madam Liu.
"Mammy, take your men to the gate of Ci'an Palace and wait. As soon as the little girl comes out, invite her to the palace."
"Yes." Madam Liu agreed and led her people quickly towards Ci'an Palace.
Little did they know that in the Imperial Concubine's palace, Zheng Suxin heard that Tang Bao had entered the palace, and her curiosity and unwillingness were intensified.
You know, she has tried every possible way these days, but that damn Third Prince seems to be unable to see her.
To the point that she was almost laughed to death by Bai Shuqing.
"Aunt, why don't we go to the Empress Dowager's palace and meet that little girl?" Zheng Suxin urged, "Let's see what's so remarkable about her that she's not only pleasing the Third Prince, but also the Empress Dowager!"
What Bai Shuqing meant was that the little girl was very difficult to mess with.
She must see what’s so great about that little girl!
She's just a little girl from the country. I'm afraid she would be so scared after entering the palace that she wouldn't even be able to walk.
That brainless Bai Shuqing, she is obviously the niece of the Empress Dowager, but she was frightened by a little girl from the country!
It really brings shame to these noble ladies!
The Imperial Concubine frowned after hearing what her niece said and said, "Xin'er, I don't care what you think, but you must know that since the Empress Dowager likes that girl, you must not provoke her. Otherwise, if something happens, I won't be able to save you."
Zheng Suxin's expression froze.
"Aunt, you are the Imperial Concubine of the current dynasty, the role model for all the palaces. She's just a little girl from the countryside. Do you think even you, aunt, should respect her?" Zheng Suxin said unconvincedly, "She only relies on the Empress Dowager and the Third Prince, while you have the Emperor behind you! You are the master of this harem. When you give birth to a prince, you will definitely be crowned Empress by the Emperor, and your cousin will be crowned Crown Prince..."
"Xin'er!" The Imperial Concubine interrupted Zheng Suxin sternly, saying, "How dare you say such nonsense?!"
The imperial concubine was so angry that her heart was beating fast.
How dare my niece say such a thing!
It can be seen that she heard some rumors from her mother's family!
When the imperial concubine thought of what her mother had said to her, she couldn't help feeling annoyed.
Zheng Suxin was startled by the imperial concubine's stern expression.
"aunt……"
She didn't understand what she had said wrong.
Didn’t my grandmother say that as long as we could find some medicine or some miracle doctor, my aunt would definitely be able to give birth to a son?
As long as my aunt gives birth to a son, with her current status, wouldn’t she be the queen?
The Imperial Concubine closed her eyes, looked at her niece who looked terrified and confused, and suppressed her anger. She said, "Xin'er, remember this. Although your aunt is in charge of the six palaces, it's because she knows what to do and what not to do. To put it bluntly, it's all just superficial glory. In this palace, the one who has the final say is still the Emperor, and the one who truly controls the harem is also the Emperor."
Otherwise, the person in Kunhe Palace would not have been imprisoned for so many years and still lived well.
When Concubine Zheng thought of this, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
After hearing what her aunt said, Zheng Suxin bit her lip and said hesitantly, "But aunt, if the emperor didn't value you the most, why would he let you take charge of the six palaces..."
After all, there are Defei, Shufei and Xianfei in the palace.
These three people are of the same rank as my aunt.
After hearing what her niece said, the imperial concubine couldn't help but look upset and blurted out what was in her heart.
"That's because Concubine Shu only thinks about the little black moles on her face every day, Concubine Xian only wants to be the best embroiderer in the world, and Concubine De is arrogant and self-admiring, hating to be separated from the world..."
I simply disdain to manage mundane affairs!
That's why the emperor let her take charge of the six palaces.
If the emperor really values her the most, even if he doesn't enthrone her as queen, he should at least enthrone her as imperial concubine!
Although there is only one more word "Emperor" in the title, it is equivalent to the vice empress. In this way, it is more legitimate for her to be in charge of the six palaces.
However, after so many years, she is still just a concubine!
To put it bluntly, she was destined to be a hard-working and worried woman, just a housekeeper in the palace!
At the end of her speech, the imperial concubine was full of complaints.
Zheng Suxin was stunned and didn't quite understand what her aunt meant.
The Imperial Concubine rubbed her forehead and said tiredly, "Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you this. You just need to remember to behave yourself and don't mess with the girl."
Zheng Suxin: "...Then, then we just want to meet that little girl and talk for a few words, is that okay?"
How could she be willing to accept this when she knew that the person had entered the palace but couldn't even see him?
What's more, the Third Prince must be with that little girl now.
Maybe if she praised the little girl a few times, His Majesty the Third Prince would look at her differently?
In fact, she didn't really want to make things difficult for Tang Bao.
She's not stupid.
No matter how unwilling you are, just keep it to yourself for now.
At worst, you can just write it down in a small notebook first.
Zheng Suxin understood that as long as she was still thinking about Xuanyuan Jin, she couldn't openly make things difficult for Tang Bao.
After all, Xuanyuan Jin treats Tang Bao as his own sister.
Bai Shuqing has already said this.
"Mother, I want to meet that sister too." The Sixth Princess said softly, "Third brother is so handsome, that sister must be pretty too."
In fact, the imperial concubine was also a little curious.
These days, she has seen Xuanyuan Jin's cold-hearted and cold-hearted behavior too many times.
Even when facing the emperor, the Third Prince had a cold face.
Could it be possible...that I would be like this when facing that little girl?
Seeing that the Imperial Concubine had softened somewhat, Zheng Suxin immediately changed her tone and said, "Aunt, since that little girl has won the Empress Dowager's favor, if you avoid meeting her now that she has entered the palace, it would seem disrespectful to the Empress Dowager. Why not go and give her something as a reward? It would also be considered as giving the Empress Dowager some face..."
What Zheng Suxin said made the Imperial Concubine very reasonable.
"Zhui'er, bring me my pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets." The imperial concubine ordered her personal maid.
