Chapter 118: Go to Father if you have any problems

It was October in a blink of an eye, and Jiang Xinyue was four months pregnant.

Due to the great changes in the previous dynasty, everyone in the harem was in danger, but nothing big happened during this period.

However, the relationship between Concubine De and Concubine Liang became worse and worse, and it has reached a point where the Empress and Concubine cannot reconcile.

The eldest princess used to have a good relationship with the second princess, but they have not been in contact recently.

The third prince is even more of a sandwich cookie. He was scolded by his biological sister when he got along with the eldest princess, and glared at by the eldest princess when he got along with his biological sister.

"Alas..."

The third prince sat on the swing in Hexi Palace, pouting with a sad face: "Concubine Zhen, it's really hard for me."

They are all his good sisters, and he doesn't want to turn against any of them!

Wo found a comfortable position on his knees and lay down, barking twice, with a pair of bright black eyes drooping, as if she could sense the Third Prince's depressed mood.

The weather was no longer hot, but October was not completely cool yet, and it was the awkward time when one piece of clothing was too cold, but two pieces were too hot.

Nanny Li and Nanny Xiang did not allow Jiang Xinyue to be greedy. They put a thick cotton pad on the stone bench. She rested her hands on her cheeks on the stone table and ate grapes peeled by Magpie and Frost: "You are right to think so. The eldest princess and the second princess are both good girls. Adults should not impose their grievances on children."

The third prince sighed and said, "But I dare not tell my mother, I am afraid that my mother will be angry. In fact, the second sister does not want to be angry with the eldest sister. She is also afraid of my mother." The mother

is very strict. She is not angry at ordinary times. She only uses cold violence. Whoever makes her unhappy, she will ignore him.

This state can last for ten days and half a month. It is really terrible.

He and his sister did not dare to make the mother angry.

Jiang Xinyue, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to be really thinking of a solution for him. She scratched her ears and said, "Why don't you ask your father what to do?"

The third prince widened his eyes and said in surprise, "Can I ask?"

"Why not ask?"

Jiang Xinyue looked at him sincerely: "When I was young, I encountered problems that could not be solved, and I always asked my father! Isn't the emperor your father? He is so wise and brave, there must be a way to not make your mother angry and to play with the eldest princess."

The third prince touched the furry head of Guolai and became happy again in an instant: "Thank you, Empress Zhen, I know what to do!"

"Woof woof..."

Guolai, who was gently placed on the swing, kept barking at the back of the third prince, as if asking him why he didn't play with him so soon.

Nanny Xiang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is really kind-hearted. If the Third Prince is close to the Emperor, the Emperor will definitely like him more."

It is true that she likes the Third Prince more, but she will also dislike the mothers of the First and Second Princesses more.

The harem struggle affected the children, which was the most intolerable thing for Emperor Xuanwu.

Nanny Li glanced at Nanny Xiang. This old sister was alone and didn't want to leave the palace or stay in Chengqian Palace, trembling with fear to serve the Emperor all day long.

It seems that she wants to stay with Concubine Zhen. That

's right...

The daily state of the people in Hexi Palace should be the ideal life of every eunuch and palace maid.

Chengqian Palace-

Wang Dequan came out with an empty teapot and saw a little carrot climbing up from the steps with a grunt.

"Third Prince?"

The seven-year-old Third Prince already looked like a little adult. He nodded slightly to Wang Dequan: "Eunuch Wang, is the Emperor busy?"

Wang Dequan handed the teapot to Tang Shiliang and bent down to say: "The Emperor is reviewing memorials! Third Prince, do you have something to ask the Emperor?"

The Third Prince, who was young but pretended to be deep, nodded and said: "Yes, I have a very important matter and I would like to ask my father to answer it for me. Eunuch Wang, can you help pass it on for me?"

The Third Prince used to be very afraid of the Emperor and never came to ask for an audience alone. Did the sun rise from the west today?

The Third Prince, whose face turned red when he was looked at by him, twisted his fingers: "Eunuch Wang, I sneaked out and my mother didn't know."

Otherwise, he would not have gone to Hexi Palace today.

The mother said that the emperor loved Empress Zhen and that because Empress Zhen was pregnant, he did not allow anyone to disturb her. He also said that Empress Zhen was going to have her own child and would not be so nice to him in the future, so he asked him to go to Empress Zhen less to avoid being annoying.

But the third prince felt that his mother was wrong. Of all the empresses in the palace, he liked Empress Zhen the most, except for his mother.

Only Empress Zhen would not treat him like a child or give him a perfunctory response. She would always answer his questions seriously and help him solve various doubts.

How could Empress Zhen not like him?

When Wang Dequan held the hand of the third prince and entered the hall, Emperor Xuanwu was stunned for a moment: "Xuan'er? Why are you here?"

The third prince paid him respects in a proper manner. After all, he was the emperor's most beloved son. Emperor Xuanwu threw down the red brush and hugged him: "It seems that our Xuan'er misses his father. Recently, his father has been too busy and has not visited you. When his father is done with this, he will go to Yanqing Palace to have dinner with you and mother, okay?"

The little person smiled shyly: "Father, Xuan'er has a question for you."

"Oh?"

Emperor Xuanwu was somewhat curious: "It seems that this is a big problem! We actually have to ask our Xuan'er to ask our father for an answer."

The third prince cleared his throat and told the emperor about the conflict between Concubine Liang and his mother, then said that he did not want to break up with his eldest sister, nor did he want to see the good relationship between his eldest sister and the second sister go bad, and asked the emperor what to do.

"Did your mother ask you to ask your father?"

Concubine De was magnanimous and tolerant, unlike Concubine Liang, who was narrow-minded and stubborn.

She did not think about it. The eldest princess is ten years old this year, and she will have to marry in three or four years. The Great Yan Kingdom has always had precedents of princesses marrying.

If there is no brother in the palace, who will be the backer of her as a princess marrying in the future?

"No, mother..."

The third prince rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, father, Xuan'er likes Empress Zhen, and I don't want to stop playing with Empress Zhen in the future. Xuan'er won't be naughty, and Xuan'er can help Empress Zhen take care of her younger brother. Xuan'er will be very good. Can you allow Xuan'er to play with Empress Zhen and her little brother together?"

"You said Empress Zhen is pregnant with a little brother?"

"Yes! Xuan'er wants a younger brother."

Like the eldest and second sisters who sometimes go out to play without him, he also wants a younger brother so that he can play with him in the future.

"Father didn't stop you from playing with Empress Zhen. You can go if you want, as long as Empress Zhen doesn't find you annoying."

"Empress Zhen likes Xuan'er."

The third prince was a little angry: "Why is father the same as mother, saying that Empress Zhen doesn't like Xuan'er? Empress Zhen obviously likes Xuan'er very much, and knows that Xuan'er has problems that can't be solved, and she reminds Xuan'er that he can come to father for help!"
