"Who do you think you are? Just because you calculated it, do we have to listen to you?" Concubine Hui immediately retorted.
"Shuangbao is the 9,999th generation descendant of the Tianshi family!"
Little Shuangbao said confidently, "You don't have to listen to Shuangbao, but it's useless because Daddy has the final say in the palace, right, Daddy?"
The little baby looked at Emperor Cheng Xuan.
Emperor Chengxuan was ruthless and unmoved by the cries of Concubine Hui and Jing Yan.
Hearing what Xiao Shuangbao said, he nodded immediately: "No need to say more about this matter, just do as Xiao Shuangbao says! Zhou Guisheng!"
"The servant is here!"
Zhou Guisheng quickly stood up.
"Go to the palace in the northwest corner of the harem now and look for the concubine that Shuangbao mentioned." Emperor Chengxuan said.
"Daddy, Shuangbao and Eunuch Zhou are going together!" Little Shuangbao raised his little hand very actively.
"Are you going too? Then I will accompany you." Emperor Chengxuan said, and stood up holding Xiao Shuangbao.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, are you really so heartless?"
Concubine Hui looked incredulous. She didn't expect that even after she cried so much, Emperor Chengxuan would still be so cold-hearted.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Cheng Xuan glanced at her, his handsome face as cold as snow.
"Concubine Hui, this concerns my country and my people. Which one do you think I will prioritize? Moreover, Jing Yan has indeed been spoiled too much by you, and his behavior is corrupt. Since you said he is still a child, you should correct those bad habits while he is still young!"
After he finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Concubine Hui and asked someone to take Jing Yan with him to the harem.
Seeing this, how could Concubine Hui just stand by and watch?
She gritted her teeth in hatred and followed him.
Soon, everyone arrived at the place Xiao Shuangbao mentioned.
This is the most remote palace in the harem. The entrance is surrounded by weeds, making one almost doubt whether there is really anyone living here.
Even Emperor Chengxuan himself had no recollection of which concubine lived in such a place.
"Your Majesty, I've been saying that Shuangbao's predictions are inaccurate, haven't they? How can anyone live in a place like this? I'm afraid that even if someone does live there, they wouldn't be a decent person. Otherwise, how could they live in such a wild and overgrown place? In this harem, only those who have made mistakes can be so unfavored, right?"
When Concubine Hui saw this, she immediately seized the opportunity to attack Xiao Shuangbao.
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her.
Xiao Shuangbao pretended not to hear and was held by Emperor Cheng Xuan, who pushed open the courtyard door with one hand.
Emperor Cheng Xuan carried her in his arms and walked in. After a few steps, he smelled a faint medicinal fragrance, which immediately made him feel refreshed.
At this time, Emperor Chengxuan felt a little curious about the concubine living here.
There are weeds everywhere outside, but the yard is well-maintained. There are medicinal fields all along the way, which makes people feel bright and fresh.
At this time, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
A somewhat hoarse and neutral voice sounded in front of the few people.
Xiao Shuangbao followed the sound and saw a young woman in a white dress with a white veil covering her face. She was holding a small medicine basket in her hand and looking at them with displeasure in her eyes.
"How dare you! This is the Emperor and Princess Lingfu! Who are you?"
On the side, Zhou Guisheng immediately stepped forward and said.
"I greet the Emperor and the Princess."
The woman in white heard this and spoke lazily.
She bowed, and regardless of whether Emperor Chengxuan told her to stand up, she stood up on her own and said, "I am from Liufang Palace."
"Liufang Palace? Then who are you?" Emperor Chengxuan obviously still couldn't remember her.
"My name is Ling Ge."
Ling Ge said as she removed the white veil from her face, revealing a large, ugly birthmark on the left side of her face. "Because I saved the Empress Dowager's life and healed the Emperor who was seriously injured, she took me in and gave me the title of Consort.
"The Emperor bestowed upon me the title of Ugly Concubine at that time. Your Majesty, don't you remember?"
After Ling Ge finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Cheng Xuan with a scrutinizing gaze.
“Ahem!”
When Emperor Cheng Xuan heard this and looked at her face, which was indeed ugly enough, he was so embarrassed that he coughed twice to cover up.
Only then did he vaguely remember that this seemed to be the case.
Half a year ago, he returned to the palace from the border because of serious injuries.
At that time, the imperial physicians were somewhat helpless in treating his injuries.
It was the Queen Mother who recommended Ling Ge, who cured him.
And even earlier, once the Queen Mother was in seclusion in the temple and was bitten by a poisonous snake, it was Ling Ge who saved her life. Later, Ling Ge followed the Queen Mother back to the palace and saved him again...
But in the end, he gave her the title of "Ugly Concubine" just because she was ugly?
"Shuangbao, listen to Daddy's explanation. Daddy definitely didn't make her the Ugly Concubine just because she's ugly..."
At this moment, Emperor Cheng Xuan's first reaction was to maintain his image in front of Xiao Shuangbao, and wanted to let the little baby know that he was definitely not a person who judged people by their appearance!
"Your Majesty, I think the Ugly Concubine is quite good."
At this time, Ling Ge took the initiative to speak, "The reason why I agreed to be a concubine was not to become the emperor's woman, but because I was grateful for the queen mother's kindness. In addition, I have been wandering since I was a child and have no fixed place to live. I want to have a stable place.
"In the palace, the Queen Mother previously granted me the right to live in Liufang Palace, and also allowed me to freely use all kinds of medicinal materials from the Imperial Hospital. I am very satisfied here and can concentrate on studying various medicinal materials and medical skills.
"So, I really like the title of Ugly Concubine, and I would like to thank the Emperor for this arrangement."
Her words made Emperor Cheng Xuan feel somewhat grateful, yet still a little embarrassed.
She was grateful that she had saved her image to some extent.
The embarrassing thing is that she actually doesn't like me at all, as if I, the emperor, am not as attractive as these medicinal herbs in her eyes.
"Well, since you like it, then I will naturally respect your wishes."
Emperor Chengxuan had no choice but to say this.
"Daddy, Shuangbao likes the ugly concubine."
At this time, Xiao Shuangbao suddenly said in a baby voice.
She looked at Ling Ge with sparkling eyes, tilted her head, and smiled sweetly: "Ugly Concubine, let me introduce myself to you! My name is Shuangbao, and my full name is Su Chushuang. My father gave me the title of Princess Lingfu!"
"Su Chushuang..."
Ling Ge looked at her, his eyes flickering, "Are you the daughter of the God of War Su Liao?"
"Yeah, yeah! Do you know Frost Treasure's father, the God of War?"
Little Frostbao nodded happily and asked.
"I met him once a few years ago. He was a famous god of war, invincible, and a man of great virtue. He was truly admirable."
Ling Ge's tone was filled with undisguised admiration for Su Liao.
