Now, the Third Prince's wife, knowing she had caused trouble, returned to the Third Prince's residence and paced back and forth. After thinking it over, she realized that only Consort Rong could save him, as her own husband was not capable of handling such a situation. So she arranged for someone to inform the Third Prince, Yinzhi, and then went to Consort Rong's palace herself.
When Consort Rong heard about this, her head was about to explode. What a useless person! She went to provoke the First Princess over such a trivial matter, and to make matters worse, she was caught red-handed. She immediately slapped her across the face.
The fact that the Third Princess Consort was beaten actually made her feel more at ease. Being beaten meant that her mother-in-law would take care of her.
Although she knew Consort Rong would protect her before she came, she was still a little worried until it happened. Consort Rong's slap put her mind at ease.
The Third Princess Consort was well-mannered and understood the principle of shared honor and shared loss. Moreover, her father, Dong E Peng Chun, held a high position and was a first-class duke. Although she, Dong E Clan, did not wield the same absolute power as during the Shunzhi era, she still had many officials under her command.
She is now the Third Prince's wife, tied to the Third Prince. Even Consort Rong wouldn't dare to abandon her for the sake of her son.
Consort Rong, as expected of someone who has weathered many storms, knew that the most important thing now was the First Princess's pregnancy. Consort Rong quickly took out all the best medicinal herbs from the storeroom and sent her trusted confidants to fetch them to see if they could be used.
Rongfei's heart was bleeding. Although she was one of the four consorts, her family was not as prominent as Yifei's, nor as wealthy as Huifei, who had the backing of a powerful minister. Her Majia clan was just an ordinary Manchu clan, and her family did not have any influential people in the court. Sometimes they even needed her, as a consort, to provide them with financial assistance.
How could I not feel bad about giving away so many precious medicinal herbs at once?
However, now is not the time to feel sorry for her. The main thing is that the First Consort can protect the baby. If the First Consort loses the baby, it might cause enmity with the Irgen Gioro family. She is not afraid of Consort Hui in the palace. After years of struggle, no one can do anything to the other. She only has favor now, not love. She and Consort Hui are equally important in the Emperor's heart. He can't do anything to her.
Outside the palace, things are different. If the Nalan family and the Irgen Gioro family try to trip up Yinzhi, the princes may claim to be of noble birth, but that's just a way to fool the common people. In reality, they are often less powerful than powerful ministers outside the palace.
Because of your status as a prince, they won't mistreat you, but that doesn't mean you can command them.
Besides protecting the First Consort's pregnancy, Consort Rong also had to apologize to the Emperor. She immediately sent someone to fetch her son.
Even now, Consort Rong is still unaware that it's not that the First Princess Consort is bad, but rather that the Crown Prince is bad.
I reckon the confidant will find out when he returns with the medicine, and Consort Rong will probably be terrified.
The eldest grandson of the emperor is not only the eldest grandson of the emperor in the palace, but also the eldest grandson of the Nalan family and the Irgen Gioro family. If something were to happen to him, Ma Jia would not be able to withstand the attacks from these two powerful families.
When the Third Prince Yinzhi heard that his wife had gotten into trouble, he quickly asked his tutor for leave and rushed over. The three princes and Consort Rong discussed the matter in the palace and then split up into several groups.
The Third Prince and his wife went to kneel in the Qianqing Palace to beg for forgiveness.
Consort Rong also went to stay with the Grand Consort.
When Consort Hui went to the Qianqing Palace to see the Emperor, she heard from a eunuch that the Third Prince and his wife had already been summoned. Having been with Consort Rong for so many years, she was very familiar with each other's tactics. It was all about apologizing and playing the victim. Because Consort Rong had lost many children, the Emperor always had a bit of sympathy for her.
