Chapter 308 Check Everything
In the palace, when Concubine Wen finished her confinement, the first thing she did was to pay her respects to the Queen.
She is well-maintained. Although her body looks plump, it is well-proportioned.
After all, you won’t look good after giving birth.
After we sat down, the queen came soon.
This was considered a favor to Lady Wen. After all, she had saved the second princess.
Although Qi Yixiu had shown joy before, when the eighth prince's full month came, he did not celebrate it in a big way. He just celebrated it like any other prince.
The rewards did not go beyond the princes.
Therefore, even though everyone felt something was wrong about the Eighth Prince in their hearts, they still managed to maintain their composure on the surface.
Everyone laughed for a while, and then Concubine Kang De said, "When I saw Lady Wen, I thought of Meng Baolin. If her child had been born, it would have grown up."
When she said that, someone naturally responded.
Concubine Jin said, "Isn't it? Now she said she is feeling better?"
"I asked someone to check on him yesterday, and he said he was much better, and his complexion was better, but he still had no strength. I wanted to come and pay my respects to the Queen, but I'm afraid it will take some time."
"She has good intentions." The Queen smiled. She was well aware of the tricks played by Concubine Kangde and Concubine Wen, so she didn't care.
Concubine Feng snorted coldly: "Sister Kangde is really kind-hearted. Such a useless Baolin is not worth your trouble."
Ning Chongyi, who had not said anything for a long time, smiled and said, "If it is useless, why would you bring it up? As long as it is brought up, it can be used again."
What did Concubine Feng mean by Concubine Kangde also mentioning the abandonment of chess?
Ning Chongyi said that since it was mentioned, this chess piece is still useful.
Everyone just thought about this little witty remark in their minds and were not in a hurry to say anything.
After all, it's a fight between people who hold the position of first-rank concubine, so there's no point in saying more.
After Concubine Jin said that, she rarely acted dumb.
Concubine Kangde smiled and said, "Look at what you are talking about, what is useful and what is useless. It's just that she and I got along well at the beginning, so I asked someone to take a look."
"Your Majesty has always been the most tolerant and loving." Lady Wen smiled, "It's a pity that Meng Baolin lost the baby. If she had, Your Majesty might have been able to have a daughter."
Concubine Kang De acted as if she didn't hear the sarcasm: "As expected, I am so lucky. I am happy. But not everyone has Lady Wen's luck."
"That's because Your Majesty has taken good care of me. Without Your Majesty, I wouldn't be where I am today." Lady Wen also smiled.
These two people have similar personalities, and neither of them is talkative, so they fight secretly. They will never say a bad word to each other.
However, everyone also knows that as Concubine Wen's status increases, the relationship between her and Concubine Kangde will only get worse.
After the meeting, Shen Chuliu and Yao Baolin went straight back to Cuiyunxuan.
The weather was still very hot in August, but she didn't go there because of the heat. She just didn't want to go to the Imperial Garden.
"I heard that the third prince will move to Ruiqing Palace in September." Yao Baolin said.
"It's almost time. We can start enlightenment next year, right?" Shen Chuliu said.
"Yes, it is said that Concubine Kangde taught him well. Now the third prince can read a lot of things even though he hasn't even started school yet." Yao Baolin said.
"Haha, you're really thinking far ahead." Shen Chuliu smiled: "It's strange to say, I thought that the children born by concubines with lower status would eventually be sent to higher positions to be raised, but after looking around, only Concubine Kangde has this opportunity."
"After all, the Fifth Prince has the Lu family behind him, but those princesses are nothing special. Look, Concubine Yu's fourth princess has also been sent there." Shen Chuliu shook her head slightly.
"Yes, I originally thought that Ning Chongyi could at least adopt one, but now it seems that I'm afraid that's not possible." Yao Baolin said.
"That's fine. Raising someone else's child is not a good thing. If it weren't for the embarrassing background of Concubine Miao and Concubine Kangde's loss of the eldest prince, I'm afraid there would be no such opportunity."
Of course, the emperor also wanted Concubine Kangde to suppress Concubine Feng Shu, but there is no need to elaborate on that.
Yao Baolin nodded in agreement.
That night, news came that the emperor had turned over Concubine Wen's name card.
This is normal, after all, everyone goes through this.
The next morning, Concubine Wen did not come to pay her respects, and the news that the emperor had rewarded Concubine Wen spread.
Everyone just thought that after Lady Wen came out of seclusion, she would probably be so favored for many days.
But unexpectedly, the emperor came here once before the fifteenth day.
On the fifteenth day, Shen Chuliu went to Taiji Palace wearing her newly made floor-length dress.
At this year's family dinner, the Deer King had not left yet. He was very embarrassed because of that incident these days, and he didn't dare to mention it easily unless the emperor said he was leaving.
But my family is all in Lujun City, which is really boring.
Other members of the royal family did not dare to plead easily. Most of them remained silent. A few of them mentioned it in a tactful way, but the emperor just pretended not to understand.
The two Empress Dowagers tacitly avoided seeing anyone.
The queen never cared about these things, so he was also helpless.
At the family dinner, everyone looked happy. The emperor was smiling, and no one could help but smile, which made the Deer King feel suffocated.
This is how it is, isn't it the same every year? But this year, something went wrong.
When the banquet was more than halfway through, the eunuch who was tasting the food for the Third Prince suddenly fell to the ground with abdominal pain, foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over.
Such a good banquet went wrong. Everyone was shocked. Qi Yixiu was angry and annoyed. Such a banquet dared to go wrong! These women are really good! Concubine Kangde was already scared and pale. She just held the hand of the third prince tightly and said nothing.
Miao Cairen stood up in a panic and took a few steps forward, but she didn't dare to go over. Her face was too scary to look at.
After a long while, Concubine Kangde pulled the Third Prince to kneel down and said, "Your Majesty, I think this eunuch has an upset stomach. Your Majesty, please calm down. It is your fault that I did not manage you well."
Qi Yixiu felt a little better after hearing this. Concubine Kang De was still sensible. It would be embarrassing to make a scene at this time.
"Okay, drag this man away." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
On the fourth day of the fourth month, he agreed, took the eunuch away, and sealed up all the meals of the third prince.
Of course, if something happened, everything the prince ate would be checked.
The people in the royal family were not fools, but they didn't expect that who would dare to poison at this time? So, they barely held on for another quarter of an hour, and then everyone dispersed.
As soon as everyone left, Empress Dowager Li was furious: "I have rarely seen such a bold person!"
"Please calm down, mother. Maybe there is something wrong with that eunuch." The queen stood up and said, "But it is my fault after all. Mother, please go back to the palace. I will investigate it thoroughly."
Concubine Zhen naturally had to attend today. She held her belly and said, "It's really scary. What happened?"
install.
