Chapter 13 The eldest son is never as fragrant as the legitimate son
After instructing Zhang Mama, Fanghua turned to Niohuru and said, "Now you can speak, right?" If she was truly the person she hadn't expected, then she really had to thank Niohuru.
"Eldest Prince."
Niohuru was quite cunning; he exchanged just three words for a set of top-quality glass cups—truly a good deal.
Fanghua was stunned. "How dare she?" She never expected it to be her.
"After entering the palace, her favor was no less than ours, so why did she do this?" Fanghua couldn't understand why she would target her when she had no grudge against her.
Although she was on her revenge list, it wasn't now.
"What else could it be? They all have sons. If you give birth to the eldest legitimate son, then her eldest son will be worthless." Niohuru rolled her eyes at her. "Sister, you are really quite muddle-headed." Her face was full of disdain.
Fanghua was so angry at her appearance that she wanted to kick her out.
She held back her anger. "How did you know?" The Empress Dowager now controls the harem. They have only been in the palace for a few years. How could they bypass the Empress Dowager? How could she know something that even the Empress Dowager couldn't find out?
One can't help but suspect that she's trying to take advantage of me.
"Heh, elder sister, you've hurt your younger sister's feelings. I overheard this by accident, otherwise I wouldn't have known that such a venomous snake was hiding in this harem."
At this point, Niohuru's face twisted in pain; it seemed that the man had also plotted against her.
Fanghua suddenly became less angry.
"It seems that person also plotted against you, but I wonder if they succeeded?" It seems they succeeded, otherwise she wouldn't be so angry.
"Hmph, sister, you'd better mind your own business and not let someone else take your place. After all, the eldest son of the royal family is quite valuable."
Empress Niohuru was not about to let the Empress laugh at her, so she naturally had to retaliate.
Fanghua wasn't angry. She smiled and said, "Then be careful, little sister. Don't fall into the hands of a concubine. After all, you've been in the palace for quite some time now. It wouldn't be good if someone used your child to get ahead of you."
When it comes to understanding people, enemies certainly understand enemies better.
The two became enemies because of the Empress's position, so they naturally wanted to understand each other.
Putting aside distant matters, when it comes to where the other person is hurting, they are truly the only ones who understand each other best.
"Having a child is nothing special. I'm young, how could I be afraid of not being able to have a child?" Niohuru was really quite angry.
When Fanghua saw that people were getting angry, she recalled all the times she had protected Yinreng, and her heart began to soften.
"Zhang Mama, please get Consort Niohuru a fresh cup of tea; it's cold."
After saying that, he gave Zhang Mama a wink.
Ever since she learned that the spring water was beneficial to health, she took some and kept it indoors just in case.
Zhang Mama and Qiaoling both knew about this.
Zhang Mama felt a pang of heartache; that was a precious treasure, how could Her Majesty give it to Consort Niohuru?
After everyone leaves, she'll have to give the Empress a good talking to.
"Hmph, what a hypocrite! What good things do I have in my palace? Why do you have to humiliate me like this? You can keep this tea for yourself, Empress." With that, she stood up angrily. "Remember to send what I asked for to Changchun Palace."
After saying that, he walked out like the wind.
Her face was flushed with anger; anyone who didn't know better would think she was being bullied terribly by the Empress inside.
Things that happen in the palace cannot be kept secret.
Sure enough, news of Niohuru storming out of the Empress's palace quickly spread.
When the Empress Dowager found out, she cursed Niohuru as a fool and drank a lot of milk tea to calm her anger.
They also had some nourishing foods prepared and sent to the Empress.
Now that the Empress is heavily pregnant, no one and no matter what happens, she cannot bypass the legitimate son.
The Qing dynasty could only be stable if it had a legitimate son.
Upon learning of this, Emperor Kangxi, like the Empress Dowager, sent many gifts to the Empress in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The actions of the two powerful figures infuriated Niohuru, who smashed many things upon returning home, cursing herself for her thankless efforts.
But when the Emperor came to Changchun Palace that night, all her unhappiness vanished.
Thinking of the Empress's mockery during the day, she put in extra effort tonight, but unfortunately the Emperor was willing but unable to do so.
After calling for water once, he couldn't go on, which terrified Lady Niohuru, who insisted on calling the imperial physician.
Finally, he was reprimanded by the emperor and that's when he calmed down.
However, because he displeased the emperor, he was replaced by someone else for the next night's bedchamber service.
It's quite interesting, the emperor recovered very quickly.
Not long after, he was able to get back to normal.
We've strayed from the topic, let's get back on track.
"Your Majesty, how can such a divine object be used by others? What if someone finds out?"
After Lady Niohuru left, Granny Zhang immediately began to earnestly advise her mistress.
“Your Majesty, that is the Niohuru clan. They have always been at odds with us. Your Majesty’s sincerity may not be reciprocated.”
She understood Zhang Mama's worries, but she couldn't forget her feelings for Yinreng, so she was willing to lend a hand if she could.
"It's alright. If you encounter this again in the future, just add a drop and it won't make a big difference."
The likes of Granny Zhang only showed such obvious signs after drinking a large cup. Granny Zhang now seems like a completely different person. She always wears makeup, afraid that someone will discover her presence.
Qiaoling and the others were young, so they didn't need to hide their faces too much. However, they were afraid that their faces would bring disaster to the Empress, so they all concealed their true appearances.
This is the main reason why they haven't changed much after drinking the spiritual spring water.
“Even a single drop is precious, Your Highness, you mustn’t do that! Everyone in the palace is shrewd; if…” Zhang Mama was still worried.
Fanghua was quite helpless. "How about putting one drop in a jade bottle, then diluting it with some water, and adding this diluted solution later?" She wasn't being overly kind and giving it to everyone she met.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her otherwise, Granny Zhang had no choice but to agree, "Then this old servant will go and exchange some to keep in case of emergency."
"Okay, go down."
Fanghua was thinking more about Ma Jia at this moment. She hadn't realized that Ma Jia was so cunning. How come she hadn't noticed this in her previous life?
The eldest son of the emperor, haha, the eldest son of the emperor dares to lay a hand on his own child, he must have quite the ambition.
She had intended to deal with Nara before turning her attention to her, but since Nara had come to her, she was not going to be polite.
"Xiao Feng".
Inside the space, Xiao Feng was flying around aimlessly when she heard her master calling her, "Master, I'm here."
"Do you have any poison there, the kind that weakens people but is undetectable?" The eldest prince shouldn't exist.
The truth lies in being both the eldest son and the heir.
"Master has it, I'll refine it for you right away." After responding, Xiao Feng immediately appeared in flames, and soon a pill wrapped in white light appeared in front of its bird face.
"Master, it's ready. However, this medicine will eventually weaken someone to death over three months. Master, what kind of evil thing are you planning? Do you need Xiaofeng's help?"
Xiao Feng just wanted to come out and have fun; it was too boring inside the space.
Fanghua smiled upon hearing this, a very happy smile.
