Thinking of this, the Empress glanced at the Emperor again, wondering if she could still keep him.
"Where did this monster come from? Throw it out!" Zhu Jingchen shouted at the eunuch beside him with a look of disgust.
"Your Majesty, this humble servant greets Your Majesty!" Lin Lanzhi quickly walked to the dragon desk and bowed.
However, the coquettishness in her words was hard to ignore.
"What's wrong with Consort Lin? Has he forgotten how to speak?" Zhu Jingchen said impatiently.
Zhu Hanyu and Xu Qingshi saw the Emperor's expression suddenly change and cried even louder.
"Empress, look at the Third Prince, what's wrong with him? He's crying like this. You, as his mother, don't you know how to comfort him?" Lin Lanzhi said with a look of disgust as she looked at the Third Prince who was crying so loudly.
"Consort Lin is quite experienced," the Empress said with a half-smile, before turning to the Emperor and asking, "Your Majesty, why are these two children crying like this?"
Zhu Jingchen looked at Lin Lanzhi with displeasure. Did she mean that he didn't know how to take care of children?
"Consort Lin seems to have a lot of free time. What, do you need Consort Lin to teach me how to educate children?" Zhu Jingchen asked, looking at Lin Lanzhi.
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I was referring to my elder sister, the Empress." Lin Lanzhi looked at the Emperor with a wronged expression, not understanding how he could misunderstand that she was talking about him.
"Little San'er, stop crying. Tell her who made you cry?" Zhu Jingchen shouted at Zhu Hanyu with a displeased expression.
The Third Prince, who had been less heartbroken upon seeing the Empress, cried even louder when he heard Zhu Jingchen call him "Little Third" again.
The empress, who had been puzzled, rolled her eyes.
She looked at the emperor with some dissatisfaction.
She said, "Why are these two kids crying for no reason?"
The Emperor knew perfectly well that Zhu Hanyu disliked being called "mistress".
The emperor even called him that on purpose.
She also wondered why her son always cried when he saw the emperor.
You really can't blame the child; this father just loves to make the child cry.
Receiving the Empress's unfriendly gaze, Zhu Jingchen felt a little guilty, but he quickly pretended not to understand.
"Empress, why don't you try to appease her?" the Emperor said to the Empress with a smirk.
"Your Majesty, you made yourself cry, so you should comfort yourself," the Empress said nonchalantly.
Anyway, she can't have given birth to the baby all by herself. Other fathers like to see their babies cry, so as the mother, she has to oblige, right?
"Empress, how can you say that? The Emperor is so busy with state affairs, how can he have time to take care of a child? You are the Third Prince's biological mother, shouldn't you handle this?" Lin Lanzhi said indignantly, pointing at the Empress.
"Consort Lin has quite the airs," the Empress said sarcastically.
On the contrary, she wasn't worried at all. After all, she and the emperor weren't particularly close. However, the emperor would never tolerate a mere concubine slapping him in the face.
She is the Empress; if even the Emperor isn't willing to give her this much face, how can she possibly manage the harem?
"Guards, send this insubordinate woman to the Imperial Clan Court." Zhu Jingchen felt that even banishing such a fool to the Cold Palace would be a defilement of the palace.
"Your Majesty, she is carrying your child." The Empress wasn't sympathizing with Lin Lanzhi, but rather, the child was innocent.
"Hmph, take him away first!" Zhu Jingchen said impatiently. He didn't need another child.
"Empress, I have driven that annoying person away. Look..." After the person left, Zhu Jingchen looked at the Empress with a fawning expression and said.
