"Is that the Concubine Shu that mother was talking about?" Zhong Mingzheng asked with his side profile.
"You are quite sharp-eyed and sharp-eared." Concubine Zhao snorted coldly, which was considered as her agreement.
"I can't say I'm very smart, but I heard that the second prince Zhong Ming'e also came to the palace today. I thought he must have come to the palace to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival under the order of Concubine Shu, so I thought Concubine Shu must have invited His Majesty to come over," Zhong Mingzheng said with a smile. While holding Concubine Zhao's hand, he smiled again. "But father came to mother's place. It shows that father doesn't take Concubine Shu and the second prince Zhong Ming'e seriously."
"I just despise the humble manners of Concubine Shu, who is from a small family. Tsk tsk tsk, why does she cook for His Majesty? She smells like smoke all day long. I don't believe His Majesty likes the smell of oil smoke on her!" Concubine Zhao said sarcastically, with a look of disdain on her face. "And the second prince Zhong Ming'e. He is worthy of being born by Concubine Shu. He is just like his mother, a good prince. He is as thin as a chicken. His face is as yellow as wax residue. He walks like a girl. How can he be a royal family?"
"Mother is right. I usually look down on the second brother the most, thinking he is a sickly person. But he is cunning and always pretends to be pitiful in front of the emperor," Zhong Mingzheng said. At the same time, he suddenly seemed to remember something, "By the way, mother, is the acne of the fourth brother better?"
Spring acne is a skin disease that is easy to get in spring. Spring acne itself does not cause any harm to the body, and even the pulse is normal. Only four or five bean-sized pustules will grow on the face, which are neither painful nor itchy. The pustules will heal after half a year, but whether or not scars will be left depends on the person. There is no treatment for spring acne, and it is particularly contagious during the period of spring acne. Therefore, people who usually get spring acne will find a quiet place and stay there quietly for half a year. Anyway, they will get better without treatment.
The fourth prince, Zhong Mingrong, had contracted spring acne and was recuperating in a side hall of the Yanx Palace.
"Better now, but the imperial physician came to see him yesterday and said he'd need to rest for another three or two months." Concubine Zhao said. When she mentioned her youngest son, she couldn't help but curl her lips, her expression of doting and loving her was self-evident.
"Then Fourth Brother must be so happy that he is jumping for joy. He has been free for half a year," Zhong Mingzheng said with a smile, "I think Fourth Brother's swordsmanship has improved a lot."
"What's the point of learning those tricks?" Concubine Zhao said this, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up, forming a gentle arc, "You are not as smart as the second prince Zhong Ming'e, who is smart and clever, and has good memory. You are also favored by your father. You are also three years younger than the second prince. How can you be so much worse?"
Just as Zhong Mingzheng was about to say something, he saw the chief eunuch come in with a pale face. He walked forward step by step with his face almost touching the ground, and then knelt down in front of Concubine Zhao with a plop: "Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Concubine Zhao's face suddenly turned pale: "Your Majesty went to Zhongcui Palace?"
Zhongcui Palace was the palace where Concubine Shu lived.
"No... no, His Majesty just..." the chief eunuch said with a gloomy face, "His Majesty just entered Jingren Palace."
“Plop!”
The next second, Concubine Zhao kicked the chief eunuch to the ground, and all the palace people knelt on the ground in fear, kowtowing like crazy: "Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down!"
