Chapter 8: The Princess is Causing Trouble in the Palace (VIII)
[Master, why don't you follow the prince to see who the woman he has hidden in his golden house is?]
After Zhao Ming left for a long time, Ling Guoguo saw her master still enjoying breakfast with relish. She was a little puzzled by his leisurely look.
"Don't worry, we'll meet when the time comes. I'll give her a big gift then!"
After eating the last steamed bun with satisfaction, Hu Xiaomeng took the handkerchief handed to her by the maid, wiped her mouth elegantly, and stood up to go to Concubine Chu's yard.
"Get out, all of you, get out..."
Before Hu Xiaomeng and her maid reached Chu He's yard, they heard the sounds of throwing things and cursing.
"Concubine Chu, you've felt much better today since you fell into the water yesterday. You even have the energy to throw things.
That's right, after all, it's just the legs that are crippled, but the hands can still move freely, and the mouth can still curse."
When Hu Xiaomeng walked into Chu He's room and saw broken cup lids all over the floor, he found a clean chair and sat down, looking at Chu He, who was paralyzed on the bed, with a mocking look.
"Su Yan, you deserve a horrible death. Everything that happened yesterday was your fault, right?
It's all your fault, isn't it? It must be you, it's all your fault!"
Chu He's eyes were filled with hatred as she stared at the refreshed Hu Xiaomeng opposite her, wishing she could cut her into pieces.
"Concubine Chu, I see that not only your legs were broken yesterday, but your brain was also injured. You're like a mad dog, biting everyone you see.
Yesterday you planned to jump into the water to frame me, but you were unlucky and ended up hurting yourself instead of others.
I didn't come here today to see you go crazy, I just wanted to tell you some bad news.
When the imperial physician was treating you yesterday, I heard him secretly tell the prince that the contraceptive medicine he gave you has taken effect and you will never get pregnant again in your lifetime.
If you don't believe this, you can go and ask the prince in person, but I don't know whether he will kill you directly.
There is another way for you to verify this. After all, your father is the Minister of State. If you ask him to find a skilled doctor to examine you, he might be able to find out the truth."
After Hu Xiaomeng kindly brought the news, he left Chu He's yard in a leisurely manner.
[Master, you seem to be causing trouble. Where are you going now?]
When Ling Guoguo saw her master coming out of Chu He's yard, she looked into the distance with a strange smile on her face, and secretly guessed that someone must have been in trouble again.
"It's been a while since I took Concubine Li and the prince's concubines to the lake. The weather is nice today, so I'll invite them to go for a walk by the lake together to avoid wasting the pleasant scenery of the palace."
Soon, the women from each courtyard, led by Hu Xiaomeng, walked towards the lake together. When the smell of Zhao Ming became stronger and stronger, Hu Xiaomeng asked everyone to find a place to sit down and rest.
"Princess, there seems to be some noise coming from the other side of the lake."
One of the concubines, who was dressed up gorgeously, was sitting closest to the lake. From a distance, it looked like there were figures swaying on a boat, and the sound was the sound of water made by the two people on the boat hugging each other and swaying.
Fox Xiaomeng, who had the best eyesight, had already seen everything in the boat. No wonder Su Yan hadn't noticed this woman in any corner of the mansion in her previous life. It turned out that she had been disguised as a man.
Across the lake is a courtyard some distance away from the palace. The servants said that someone had died there, so ordinary people would not go there.
She is indeed the apple of Zhao Ming's eye, otherwise he wouldn't go to such great lengths to protect her.
"That man seems to be a prince!"
Concubine Li clenched her palms tightly and looked at the swaying boat with jealousy. She didn't expect that the prince would commit adultery in broad daylight and in a place like a boat.
"But the person being held down by the prince seems to be a man..."
One of the concubines quickly covered her mouth after saying this. No wonder the prince hadn't been to the courtyards for a long time. It turned out that he liked male homosexuality.
Following the concubine's exclamation, the others also stared at the two people hugging and kissing on the boat. They were indeed two men.
"Let's go back first. Everyone go back to your own yard and have a good rest."
Fox Xiaomeng pretended to be sad and desperate as she looked at everything in the boat on the lake, and walked back step by step with heavy steps.
"Princess, are we just going to leave like this?"
Concubine Li looked back unwillingly at the two people who were still hugging each other on the boat, and she wished that a thunder would come from the sky to split them apart.
"What's the point of not leaving? There are some preferences you can interfere with, but there are some preferences you can't change in your entire life.
You all saw what happened to Concubine Chu yesterday. She must have discovered something and ended up being crippled. Do you want to follow in her footsteps?
Everyone, go back to your own yards and do what you need to do. Just pretend you didn't see anything that happened by the lake today."
Fox Xiaomeng showed everyone a desperate yet beautiful smile, as if she was a most beautiful flower that had just experienced the ravages of a storm, which made people feel pity.
Everyone returned to their own courtyards in silence to digest everything they had seen by the lake today. They had never expected that their biggest competitor was not the princess or the concubine, but an unknown young man.
At this time, Zhao Ming, who was on the boat being affectionate with his beloved girl, had no idea that the group of women in the backyard had misunderstood him, because Hu Xiaomeng had already secretly knocked out the secret guard guarding the lake.
After resolving the misunderstanding with Hu Die, the two of them went boating and then returned to Hu Die's yard to make love for a while before Zhao Ming reluctantly left.
Just when he was thinking of going to Su Yan's yard to comfort her, he heard the housekeeper say that the emperor summoned Princess Xuan into the palace.
It turned out that when Zhao Ming and Hu Die were boating on the lake, the news that Prince Ming was a homosexual had spread all over the capital. The news seemed to have spread like wildfire and even the current emperor knew about it.
"Butler, did the people from the palace tell us why they wanted to summon the princess?"
For some reason, Zhao Ming felt that the people in the palace looked at him strangely today, even the butler.
"Your Highness, I'm not entirely sure. Perhaps you'll find out if you wait for the princess in the palace."
The butler, fearing that he would be angered, lied without blushing or beating his heart. He couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that he was already over forty years old and probably wouldn't be the type that the prince liked, otherwise his innocence would be in jeopardy.
Fox Xiaomeng, who was mentioned by the housekeeper, followed the people sent by the palace into the palace. The emperor and the queen had already been waiting in the imperial study.
"The daughter-in-law pays her respects to the Emperor and the Empress!"
After Hu Xiaomeng arrived at the solemn and serious imperial study, she bowed and greeted the current emperor and empress.
"Yan'er, no need to be so polite, quickly give Princess Ming a seat!"
The current queen, who is also the eldest princess's biological mother, has always been kind to her daughter's sister-in-law.
