"Your Highness, it's me," Ling Shi'an was startled. Then he hurriedly whispered to the person inside, "I have something important to report to Your Highness."
"Come in," Zhong Mingzheng's expression brightened when he heard that it was Ling Shian who came. He walked to the couch and sat down. He looked at Ling Shian who pushed the door open and came in. "What's the matter?"
Ling Shian looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the floor and knew that Zhong Mingzheng must be angry again. Ever since the birth of the little prince, Princess Da'an's temper has worsened. During this period of time, she has replaced all the maids in the palace. Anyone who is a little bit pretty has been replaced. Zhong Mingzheng was naturally angry, but seeing that Concubine Zhao was about to be canonized, there could be no chaos in his house. So he had been holding back. But today, seeing that the beautiful maid who always served him tea was replaced by a short and fat girl, Zhong Mingzheng was naturally furious.
Ling Shian looked at Zhong Mingzheng's impatient expression. He did not dare to delay and hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory has just predicted that the ceremony for conferring the title of Imperial Noble Consort will be held in twelve days."
"June 18th is a good day." Zhong Mingzheng nodded, took a sip of tea, and sighed, "Finally, there is good news."
"Your Highness..." Ling Shi'an looked at Zhong Mingzheng's face and said hesitantly, "On June 18th, in addition to the Imperial Noble Consort, His Majesty also ordered the canonization of Noble Hui as Concubine Hui."
“Bang!”
The next second, Zhong Mingzheng threw the teacup in his hand to the ground fiercely, and immediately became furious and said: "What does father mean by this? The ceremony of conferring the title of mother is actually going to be used to confer the title of that bitch from the temple? Isn't this a slap in the face of mother in front of the whole world? The dignified imperial concubine is going to be conferred the title together with that bitch?! Does father still have mother and me in his heart?!"
"Your Highness, please calm down!" Ling Shian hurried forward and said, "No matter how angry you are, you can't express it out loud! Be careful, the walls have ears!"
"I can't even speak in my own house?" Zhong Mingzheng looked at Ling Shi'an coldly, but he finally lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, "My father really doesn't care about my mother and me anymore. He just dotes on that bitch of unknown origin. Now that bitch is just pregnant, my father is busy making her a concubine. Judging from the situation, if she gives birth to a son or a daughter, I'm afraid she will be able to become a concubine. If it's a princess, it's fine, but if it's a prince..."
Zhong Mingzheng couldn't go on. He suddenly raised his hand and swept all the teapots and incense burners on the table to the ground.
"Your Highness, please calm down," Ling Shi'an squatted down and cleaned up the mess on the ground. He said to Zhong Mingzheng in a deep voice, "Your Highness's actions are indeed inappropriate. Your Highness is anxious, which is inevitable. But compared to Your Highness and the Imperial Concubine, there are people who should be more anxious."
Zhong Mingzheng frowned and looked at Ling Shian: "The second son's personality is such that he won't show it even if he's anxious. He will only be more attentive to the emperor. As for the concubine, she never says a word. Even if the mother and son are anxious, what can they do? There will definitely be no waves."
"Normally, being anxious won't cause any trouble, but what if you're pushed into a corner?" Ling Shi'an said with a smile, picking up the incense burner and putting it back on the table, while looking at Zhong Mingzheng, "Prince Hui has had a hard time in the past six months. First, our palace gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, and then Concubine Hui got pregnant. Now Concubine Hui is about to become a concubine because of her son. I'm afraid it won't be long before she'll be on par with Concubine Shu. Your Highness, do you think Concubine Shu and Prince Hui are really not anxious?"
"What you said makes some sense," Zhong Mingzheng nodded, paused, and then raised his eyebrows to look at Ling Shian, "But it's not a good idea to keep dragging it on like this. We have to add fuel to the fire."
Ling Shian was startled: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"Didn't Jiang Jinwan explain it all very clearly?" Zhong Mingzheng smiled faintly.
Ling Shian was startled for a moment, then he laughed: "Your Highness, do you want to make a fuss about that Zi Huichun Pill?"
Zhong Mingzheng just smiled and said nothing. He took the flint and steel, took another stick of incense and inserted it into the incense burner. While lighting the stick of incense, he said calmly, "It's a dry time now. Seeing that the Prince of Pingxi is about to return to the capital, my father's temper will naturally explode. Tsk tsk, the good days of the second son and the concubine are probably over."
