Chapter 462: Intention
For a moment, Concubine Qian's face suddenly changed: "Why do you all have to talk about my affairs?"
"By the way, the Eighth Prince also lives next to the Ninth Prince. Is the Eighth Prince okay?" Su Xiuyi suddenly asked Wen Chongrong after laughing.
Wen Chongrong smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, although he woke up last night, the child...as you know, he didn't cry or make a fuss."
Shen Chuliu glanced at Su Xiuyi, smiled and said nothing.
Soon, the queen came out.
After everyone paid their respects, the Queen said, "I have asked someone to check out Ruiqing Palace. Zhen Chongyi, if you are worried about the Ninth Prince, take him back to stay for a few days."
Zhen Chongyi was really moved, but the Queen Mother had given instructions, so she could only stand up and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your concern, but the Ninth Prince is fine, so he doesn't have to come back. It's more convenient for him to live in Ruiqing Palace and study."
"Well. That's good." The queen waved her hand and asked her to sit down.
"Yesterday's incident was also earth-shattering. I went to the Queen Mother yesterday afternoon, but she didn't say what to do. What I mean is that Zhen Chongyi, you should restrain the Ninth Prince. I heard that before anything happened, the Ninth Prince's wet nurse started crying and making a scene. What a scene."
"Yes, I will go and take a look later. If there is anything inappropriate, I will definitely punish you." Zhen Chongyi said as if she had been slapped in the face.
"That's good. There's nothing to do today, so let's go." The queen waved her hand.
Everyone had long been accustomed to her style, and they all dispersed without saying anything.
When Zhen Chongyi arrived at Ruiqing Palace, she called Sun, the ninth prince's wet nurse, and slapped her in the face: "I kept you because I saw that you were loyal to the prince, but you made a scene and everyone knew about it."
"Your Highness, please spare me. Your Highness, please forgive me. I didn't do that. It was all done on purpose by those people." Sun cried, "Your Highness, if you don't believe me, you can ask. It's not what they said. It's the people of the Tenth Prince who are afraid that they will be held responsible if the Tenth Prince gets sick, so they deliberately slandered him. I am a proper wet nurse after all. How dare I be so ignorant?"
Zhen Chongyi looked at her and snorted, "Really?"
"As expected, I dare not lie. Everyone in this room can testify to this." Sun said.
Two maids came forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Nanny Sun would never dare to do that. Even if she cried a few times, it was because she was worried about His Highness the Ninth Prince."
Zhen Chongyi beat the man, calmed down and sat down: "It's better this way."
She was a little confused, but she didn't want to embarrass herself.
Because of the Ninth Prince's illness, you only have one wet nurse left out of the four. It would be so embarrassing if you didn't keep this one either.
Besides, she didn’t care whether the wet nurse cried or made a fuss, wasn’t it all for her child?
Besides, what kind of paper-made thing is the Tenth Prince? He could be frightened, but how come the other princes were fine? Nanny Sun knew Zhen Chongyi too well, so she tried her best to say nice things and be careful.
With the testimony of the palace maids, Zhen Chongyi was indeed happy.
After soothing him a few more times, Zhen Chongyi asked the tenth prince.
Nanny Sun also tactfully said that the Tenth Prince was really not in good health, and it was not because they made too much noise, even the meow of a wild cat would scare him.
When Zhen Chongyi was leaving, she pretended to curse a few times, but she didn't care about it in her heart.
In Fengzao Palace, the queen smiled after hearing the reply: "I understand."
After the eunuch left, Emei also laughed: "The caution we showed in the past few years was all fake, right? This is the real thing?"
The Queen just smiled: "Whether she is real or not, the Ninth Prince will be raised like this..."
Emei also shook her head.
Just then the second princess came in.
"Mother."
"Come here." The Queen beckoned the Second Princess to sit in front of her. "Did you just change this?"
The second princess stood up and turned around: "Look, mother, isn't it beautiful? It was just sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They said it was made in a hurry."
This was the fabric that the Emperor gave her as a reward a few days before the New Year. The pattern looked beautiful, so it was sent to the Clothing Bureau just before the New Year.
"It looks good. Your father has the best taste. It suits you very well." The queen pulled her to sit down.
The second princess grew up, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and she looked very much like the queen.
Because of her good upbringing, she has the nobility of a legitimate princess and the innocence of a spoiled little maid, making people like her at first sight.
"Mother, I want to find my elder sister." said the second princess.
"Go if you want to. Your elder sister should be married this year." The queen paused and said, "You don't have to mention this. Just go and play with her."
The second princess nodded and ran away.
The eldest princess is not a child anymore, but the girls of the Dayi Dynasty are not required to get married early.
In some large families, many girls get married at the age of 18. Some families, who love their children so much, may even raise them until they are 20.
But that’s rare. Most people get married at the age of 16, 70 or 18.
The eldest princess is fifteen this year, and there is no rush for her to get married, but the plan has been made.
The queen knew what was going on, but she was not in a hurry. The main reason was that this matter was the one that the queen should bring up first.
When it comes to the marriage of their children, the stepmother must bring it up, but whether it can be arranged is another matter.
The queen was thinking about the eldest princess' marriage, and naturally there were other people thinking about it as well.
In Leshou Palace, Concubine Kangde and Concubine Jin were sitting and drinking tea.
"Xu'er is already fifteen years old, and she is growing up quickly. What do you think about her marriage?" asked Concubine Kangde.
Concubine Jin's heart tightened: "This... no matter how I think, it's useless. In the end, the emperor, empress, and queen mother will have to make the decision."
"That's natural, but you are Xun'er's biological mother. If you have any opinions, they can't just ignore them." Concubine Kangde said.
Concubine Jin smiled and lowered her head as if she was thinking.
She was very afraid of Concubine Kangde in her heart, although she had always stood on Concubine Kangde's side in the past few years and Concubine Kangde never asked her to do anything.
But Concubine Kangde knew that she had someone in her heart before she entered the palace. Even if she changed her mind later, what if the emperor knew about it? So all along, she didn't want to accept Concubine Kangde's care, but she didn't dare not accept it.
"She should find someone with a better temper. She is the emperor's eldest daughter, and she was born before she entered the palace. She is different from other princesses. Although she is not as noble as the second princess, she is the most noble princess besides the second princess."
Concubine Kangde said: "Xu'er's consort must not be just anyone. The emperor must choose one from the families of third-rank officials."
"Now, four of the six elders have suitable sons. But excluding the Song family, the child of the Song family has been studying with the sixth elder. The Peng family is said to have good character, but average knowledge. However, the grandsons of the Li family and the Fang family are both sons with outstanding character and good looks."
Speaking of this, Concubine Jin was also moved.
She was originally very afraid that Concubine Kangde would push the eldest princess into the fire pit for her own benefit.
