Chapter 44: She is evil and greedy for money!
Concubine Yu's hands trembled as she held the babies, and she quickly declined with a smile, "I'm not tired, sister. I'm sorry to bother you with your worries! They're still young, and basically sleep after eating. They're not noisy. I can handle it!"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Chen raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't want to give up.
"Sister, you'd better not be so stubborn. If you get hurt, it will affect your offspring. How can you give birth to a prince for His Majesty in the future? In my opinion, it is better to leave this child to me to raise."
She turned to Yuan Yuan with a smile on her face, "Your Majesty, can you please say something?"
At this moment, the palace maids brought plates of food and placed them in front of Yuanyuan one after another.
Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
She leaned forward suddenly, picked up the plate on the table, reached out to grab it and put it into her mouth.
After finally eating the delicious glutinous rice and pork ribs, Yuanyuan's eyes narrowed into slits in enjoyment.
"Your Majesty?!" Seeing him like this, Concubine Chen subconsciously exclaimed.
Yuanyuan thought someone was going to snatch her ribs, so she suddenly dodged to the side with her hand holding the plate.
who!
Who wants to steal her chops!?
It was only then that she noticed that it was Concubine Chen who was speaking.
Slightly stunned.
"Concubine Chen, what did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly. Please repeat it again."
That cold tone, that dangerous look.
Her face turned pale in an instant, and she looked at Yuanyuan grabbing the ribs with shock, her heart in her throat.
Is Your Majesty telling her through actions that she has overstepped her bounds?
Yes! Who was that person across from him? That was the ruthless and merciless Emperor Beijing!
When is it someone else's turn to comment on what he does?
It seems that she has lived too comfortably these years and almost forgot what a cruel and inhumane person His Majesty is!
Thinking of the time when he accidentally broke into the dungeon and saw His Majesty personally skinning a spy alive, she shuddered.
He fell to his knees with a thud.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have said anything! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
When the eldest prince saw Concubine Chen kneeling down, he also knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty! Queen Mother's mistake was unintentional. She was simply worried about Concubine Yu's health and had no other thoughts. Please don't blame her, Your Majesty!"
Yuanyuan just reached out to pick up the braised pork elbow and took a bite, and accidentally got the sauce all over his face.
“…”
What's going on?
Did she scare them by eating the braised pork elbow?
"His Majesty!"
Unexpectedly, when she looked up, Concubine Chen saw that her face was covered with soy sauce, as if she looked like a devil who had just killed someone and her face was covered in blood.
I was so scared that I rolled my eyes.
Yuanyuan: “…”
no!
Is she that scary?!
Yuanyuan held the braised pork elbow in the sauce and looked at Concubine Chen and then at Concubine Yu with a helpless look on her face, almost unable to sit still.
[Is Concubine Chen ill? Is she trying to scam someone?]
The eldest prince gritted his teeth in anger when he heard the voice. What kind of scam is this?
His mother was frightened by his father!
Yuanyuan took a deep breath and took a big bite of the braised pork elbow before he calmed down.
It must be because of his reputation as a tyrant and scumbag father that these concubines are afraid of him.
It’s definitely not because I ate the braised pork elbow so horribly!
Thinking of this, Yuan Yuan glared fiercely at the infant Emperor Beijing.
"It's all your fault! Tyrant! Look how scared your concubine is!"
The baby pretending to sleep, Emperor Bei Jing: "..."
Clenched fists!
Concubine Yu next to her couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she quickly tugged at Yuan Yuan's sleeve and motioned her to look at Concubine Chen.
"Your Majesty, please let my sister get up."
Yuanyuan then realized that Concubine Chen and the eldest prince were still kneeling on the ground, and she quickly waved her hand.
"Everyone, get up!"
Concubine Chen was as if she had been pardoned. When she stood up, she secretly glanced in the direction of Concubine Yu.
Does Concubine Yu now hold such a high status in His Majesty's mind?
I can actually command His Majesty to do things!
And Your Majesty is not angry yet?
Concubine Chen almost poked a hole in the handkerchief!
Why did Yu Zhiyin have such a good fate? Why did His Majesty treat her differently?
His Majesty clearly disliked her before, but now she has regained his favor just because she raised a child brought back from outside the palace?
How much does His Majesty like this child?!
She took a deep breath, forced a smile, and took a brocade box from her personal maid beside her.
"Your Majesty, this is the full moon gift I prepared for the Fifth Princess. Please review it."
When Yuanyuan heard about the full-moon gift, he instantly felt that the braised pork elbow in his hand was no longer delicious, and he threw the braised pork elbow on the table with a thud.
He rubbed his greasy hands on his clothes.
This scene made everyone present feel their scalps tingle.
Is this really their Majesty?
It was fine for the ministers who had seen him like this in the court, but the other concubines who had never seen him were all stunned and couldn't close their mouths for a long time.
It was only after the maids next to them reminded them that they pushed their lower jaws up manually.
Your Majesty... is he possessed by evil spirits?
[Gift! Gift! Yuanyuan likes it!]
Yuanyuan wiped her hands, excitedly took the brocade box, and quickly opened it.
There was a huge night-shining pearl lying inside.
Yuanyuan's face suddenly became filled with a bright smile.
This strange smile not only did not make Concubine Chen feel relieved, but instead made her shudder.
Your Majesty's smile is so scary!
The Yu family members who could hear Jian Yuanyuan's inner thoughts all smiled in tacit understanding.
He hurriedly took the gifts he had prepared and presented them all to Yuanyuan.
"Your Majesty, this is a gift from me to you... a gift from me to my granddaughter."
"This belongs to me!"
"And my wife!"
The Yu family sent out gifts one after another.
Yuanyuan opened it happily, looked at the golden things inside, and screamed excitedly in her heart.
[Ahhh! Grandpa understands me! I love gold ingots the most!]
Duke Yu presented a palm-sized gold ingot, which roughly estimated to weigh at least one kilogram, so it was worth a lot of money.
The next ones to come in were Yu Yanzhou, Wang Yuyan, and my grandmother.
They were all made of gold, but they were all different objects, including gold fans, gold bracelets, and a particularly exquisite gold milk pot.
Yuanyuan grabbed the golden milk pot.
The eyes turned into crescents.
[Pure gold milk jug!! My aunt understands me!]
Wang Yuyan smiled embarrassedly.
Yuan Yuan happily praised, "Duke Yu and his family have a reward! Eunuch Hai! I will take some things from my private treasury to reward Duke Yu later!"
Eunuch Hai immediately responded with a smile, "Ah! I can save you the trouble!"
Your Majesty really dotes on the little princess. Look, Duke Yu just sent some gifts and made His Majesty so happy!
It seems that I have to curry favor with our little princess in the future!
The baby Emperor Beijing clenched his fists again!
That damn evil spirit actually used her own private treasury to reward her own grandfather. How could she think of such a thing?
The families of the civil and military officials could no longer sit still when they saw the cold-blooded emperor smiling so "kindly" at the gifts.
It turns out that it’s true that His Majesty dotes on the Fifth Princess!
As long as you give gifts to the fifth princess, His Majesty will be happy!
Now people started to send gifts one after another, and Yuanyuan was so overwhelmed with gifts that his hands were tied.
"Your Majesty, this is the jade ruyi that I prepared for the little princess!"
"Your gift, my dear, is truly pleasing to me! Reward!"
"Your Majesty, this is the South China Sea Dragon Pearl..."
"reward!"
