Prince Fu was extremely angry. He had been amazed by Bei Lingyao ever since he accidentally saw her in the temple.
If he had known that the Bei family would not agree to their daughter marrying into his palace, he would have secretly kidnapped her.
Now that bastard has gotten the advantage.
When he ascends the throne, the first family he will destroy will be the Bei family...
"Your Highness, Becky brought some chicken soup and is asking for an audience."
"Let her go"
As soon as Prince Fu finished speaking, he changed his tone and said, "Let her in."
Bei Hongjiao was extremely anxious. She was supposed to sleep with the prince last night, but she was interrupted by one of Prince Fu's favorite concubines who claimed that her child was not feeling well.
Today, Bei Hongjiao hurried to see Prince Fu, fearing that he would forget her.
But as soon as she stepped into the study, Prince Fu's eyes began to hurt.
"What kind of outfit are you wearing?"
Bei Hongjiao has a pretty face and wears a rose-red dress embroidered with colorful flowers and birds, as well as butterflies and dragonflies.
In addition, her head was covered with gold, silver and jade ornaments, and her body was also covered with jingling rings and bracelets.
The whole person is covered in jewels and gold.
It also blinded Prince Fu's eyes.
"This was given by my grandmother."
Bei Hongjiao was originally very proud of her outfit. She saw many astonished people along the way, and her confidence was even greater. She thought that if she could amaze Prince Fu, he would take her with him immediately.
"Vulgar and unbearable"
Prince Fu was filled with disgust and deeply regretted taking Censor Nabei's niece as his concubine.
As the beloved legitimate son of the late emperor and the empress dowager, Prince Fu not only loves beauty, but also collects beauty.
The fact that Nabei Hongjiao was a concubine was somewhat an insult to the Censorate.
I never expected that Bei Hongjiao and Bei Fei were so different.
People complained about Mrs. Bei endlessly, saying that a peasant woman is a peasant woman, very vulgar, and once she became rich, she wanted to wear all her wealth on her body.
Bei Hongjiao's face was pale and she was deeply shocked. Tears welled up in her eyes and fell uncontrollably.
"Why are you crying? Go back now and don't dirty my eyes. Don't wear this way in the future, otherwise I will send you back."
Bei Hongjiao was so frightened that she quickly stopped crying.
Prince Fu waved his hand and had Bei Hongjiao dragged away.
Bei Hongjiao was extremely embarrassed and went back to the courtyard crying with her hands covering her face.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Ridiculous, ridiculous."
The concubines who lived near Bei Hongjiao burst into laughter and mocked her.
Bei Hongjiao has been well protected since she was a child and has never suffered such embarrassment.
She resented Mrs. Bei's blind guidance. This set of clothes and outfit were all given to her by Mrs. Bei.
She also resented the ridicule of these concubines and resented Prince Fu for disregarding her dignity.
She didn't even dislike the fact that Prince Fu looked like a pig, fat and strong, but Prince Fu actually disliked her like this.
Bei Hongjiao, who had met the Prince of Rongbo Mansion, felt a little regretful at this time. Compared with the handsome and elegant Prince of Rongbo Mansion, Prince Fu was short, ugly and fat.
But when she thought about how Prince Fu looked, she thought the emperor in the palace must not be much better looking either.
Bei Lingyao also had to serve the emperor in the palace who was as short, ugly and fat as a pig, which made Bei Hongjiao feel a lot more balanced.
Bei Lingyao had no idea of Bei Hongjiao's malicious speculation. When she heard that the eldest princess had entered the palace to meet Emperor Shengwu, she thought that Concubine Lu might be released from the ban.
"What business has my aunt entered the palace for?"
Emperor Shengwu also had no good feelings towards the eldest princess.
The young Emperor Shengwu was raised by the Empress Dowager, and was naturally disliked by the Grand Princess. At that time, the Empress Dowager was still alive, and the Grand Princess's son and Concubine Bao's son often bullied Emperor Shengwu.
Although the empress dowager was also angry, she was more powerful than the emperor, so she asked Emperor Shengwu to be patient and find an opportunity to fight back.
Every time Emperor Shengwu was bullied, the empress dowager cried sadly, wiping away tears helplessly.
In order to avoid being bullied and not to make the empress dowager cry, Emperor Shengwu studied harder and practiced martial arts more diligently.
He had a great talent for martial arts. After only half a year of study, he challenged the eldest princess's son and Concubine Bao's son in the training ground and won beautifully.
It was also at this time that Emperor Shengwu caught the attention of the late emperor.
But the Grand Princess and Concubine Bao were quite unhappy, especially Concubine Bao, who had to watch helplessly as the late emperor was lured to Fengyi Palace by Emperor Shengwu's various schemes.
The emperor had mediocre sons all over the place, so he naturally paid attention to the talented and outstanding son he had, and felt a great sense of accomplishment in teaching him.
Seeing that the Queen Mother had regained her favor, Concubine Bao felt a sense of crisis and wanted to arrange a marriage with the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was tempted, but she sensed the late emperor's fear of the Bao family, so she rejected Concubine Bao.
The alliance between Concubine Bao and the Grand Princess also broke down.
The eldest princess decided to wait until the princes grew up and then see what the situation would be. She did not interfere in the affairs of the harem and the princes anymore.
However, the eldest princess' children often mocked Emperor Shengwu, especially when Emperor Shengwu was sent to the Bao family army and completely lost his power.
If the prince consort had not stopped them, the eldest princess's children would have ridiculed her.
At that time, the eldest princess thought that her husband was meddling too much. Everyone could see that the late emperor had given up on Emperor Shengwu, and that the position of crown prince would be abolished sooner or later.
Although the Grand Princess did not want Prince Fu to take the throne, she was also not happy about Concubine Bao's son taking the throne.
The late emperor had many sons, and the fight between Prince Fu and Concubine Bao's sons would both be detrimental. She would only benefit from it and support other princes to ascend the throne.
But no one expected that Emperor Shengwu could break through the Bao family army, cut off the Bao family's foundation, and return to the capital with great force.
The eldest princess immediately supported Emperor Shengwu and put her daughter into his harem.
It had been ten years since Emperor Shengwu had set foot in the harem, nor had he favored his daughter.
Like everyone else, the Grand Princess couldn't say anything.
But when Concubine Bei entered the palace, Emperor Shengwu not only doted on her, but also confined her daughter to the palace.
This made the eldest princess very dissatisfied.
However, the eldest princess did not act stupid. She looked at Emperor Shengwu with a loving face.
"After so many years, the emperor finally has someone he loves by his side. Aunt is happy for him."
"Princess Bei is fine."
Emperor Shengwu's expression softened.
The eldest princess was startled. It seemed that Concubine Bei held a special position in Emperor Shengwu's heart.
However, when she thought that Emperor Shengwu was poisoned and could not have children, the eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's just that I'm still a little young, and I can't take on the responsibility of educating the royal heir."
At this point, the Grand Princess sensed Emperor Shengwu's displeasure and continued, "Your Majesty, Censor Bei is right. The country cannot be without a crown prince for a single day. Even if Your Majesty does not want to appoint a crown prince, you can first select a few outstanding sons from the royal family to be trained in the palace, and then choose the best one to succeed you."
"If the Emperor trains the heir personally, the bond between the Emperor and the heir will be even deeper. If it's delayed any further, Prince Fu will become powerful, which will be disadvantageous to the Emperor. It's better to train the heir as soon as possible."
The eldest princess spoke earnestly and felt that she had worried herself to death for Emperor Shengwu.
"I know, I have been keeping an eye on it secretly over the years."
The eldest princess was startled. Emperor Shengwu had been secretly watching her all these years. Could it be that he had already made a choice in his mind or was even cultivating her?
"The heir must be raised in the royal family to be honored. Qingluan is also your cousin. She has been in the palace for ten years and is well-educated, virtuous and kind. Your Majesty can rest assured in entrusting the heir to Qingluan's care. With Your Majesty and this concubine protecting him, the heir will be safe and sound."
