Chapter 191 Fainted
Shen Fu felt uneasy for several days.
After the Third Prince recovered, His Majesty ordered that he be sent to Concubine Rong.
Shen Fu's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
She didn't expect that the Emperor would actually hand the Third Prince over to Concubine Rong.
Even though she had guessed this before, she didn't know what to feel when she was waiting for the Third Prince to be sent to Concubine Rong's palace.
The third prince was handed over to Concubine Rong. This was the scene she least wanted to see.
After all, in this harem, Concubine Rong has the highest status, even though her favor is not great. But among all the imperial concubines, no one in the harem could surpass Imperial Concubine Rong.
Now with the blessing of the Third Prince, Concubine Rong has both status and offspring. Except for the position of Queen, I'm afraid she has everything.
Wouldn't Concubine Rong become even more prominent from now on?
Chen Fu couldn't help but have a headache when she thought of that scene, but no matter what, the third prince finally moved into Concubine Rong's palace.
"Now Concubine Xiang must be regretting it so much." Seeing that her master had a headache, Zi Su immediately stepped forward and pinched her temples.
Thinking of something, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he couldn't help but let out a smile: "I heard that Concubine Xiang is now kneeling at the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity every day, begging His Majesty to return the Third Prince to her."
"How can it be that easy?" Shen Fu put her hand on her temples and couldn't help but sigh.
His Majesty has already sent the Third Prince to Concubine Rong, so he will not easily let Concubine Xiang take him back.
Another thing that Shen Fu also had some suspicions about was that the Emperor might have planned that for a long time.
She shook her head and sipped the tea in her hand. "Since we had already planned this, how could we compromise just because Xiang Guipin knelt for a few days?"
Sure enough, it was just as Shen Fu thought. In the next few days, Xiang Guipin knelt in the Qianqing Palace and begged every day, but the Emperor ignored her and let Xiang Guipin kneel there.
But it just so happened that Chen Fu went to the Ganqing Palace almost every day during this period.
Concubine Xiang was kneeling on the bluestone slab. The eunuchs and palace maids coming and going around her acted as if they didn't see Concubine Xiang.
Chen Fu was standing on the steps holding an umbrella. Beside him was a little eunuch who nodded and bowed: "Master Shen, please follow me."
On the bluestone slab, Concubine Xiang was kneeling until she was about to faint. She had been kneeling for too long and her body was already exhausted. After just a few days of not seeing her, her face had become skinny.
But at this moment, when she was kneeling on the ground, her eyes were still looking at Chen Fu without blinking. Under those eyes, the thin lips were dry and even broken.
When did Concubine Xiang become so miserable? Even if Chen Fu disliked her a lot in her heart, she couldn't feel the slightest hatred towards her when she saw Xiang Guipin like this.
If nothing unexpected happens, after the death of the third prince, Concubine Xiang will probably not be able to cause any trouble in the future.
Thinking of this, Chen Fu smiled slightly, withdrew her gaze from Xiang Guipin, turned around and followed Lin An into the house.
"Your Highness." The Qianqing Palace was magnificent, with ambergris burning in the center of the hall.
Before Shen Fu entered, she said to His Majesty with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty said yesterday that he would let me play chess with you, but I haven't seen Your Majesty all day today..."
Before Shen Fu finished her words, she walked into the inner room and saw the people inside. The smile on her face disappeared instantly.
"Your concubine pays homage to Imperial Concubine Rong. May Her Majesty be blessed." When Chen Fu saw the person coming, she bent her knees and quickly saluted Imperial Concubine Rong inside.
She never expected that Concubine Rong was also in there!
Chen Fu looked embarrassed, but Concubine Rong, who was sitting next to His Majesty on the couch, had a gentle smile on her face: "Get up quickly."
Concubine Rong's meaningful eyes fell clearly on Shen Fu's face.
She heard it clearly just now. Shen Fu was more familiar with the palace of heaven than she was, and the tone and demeanor of the emperor's words when she spoke to him. It's so natural.
Concubine Rong tightened her hands in her sleeves, and said with a smile facing Chen Fu: "I didn't know that His Majesty called you here. I was just discussing something with His Majesty."
She smiled and raised her lips slightly to Chen Fu: "Shu Guipin's birthday is coming up in the next few days. In previous years, it was a big celebration. This year, I am asking His Majesty."
As Concubine Rong spoke, she deliberately looked behind her at His Majesty: "Your Majesty said that it should be the same as in previous years, but is that true?"
Shen Fu knew that Concubine Rong must have said this specifically for her. But even so, after hearing this, Shen Fu couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at His Majesty.
Shen Fu's look was filled with confusion, and there was some disbelief in her black and white eyes.
Xiao Yu sat on the chair, and seeing that Shen Fu's eyes were a little unnatural, he coughed lightly, and then spoke to Concubine Rong:
"Okay, just do as I said just now." Xiao Yu put down the teacup in his hand and rubbed his brows: "I have something else to do, you go back first."
Concubine Rong achieved her goal and lightly put on some eye drops. Then he took the nanny's hand and walked out with a smile on his face.
As soon as the door closed and Concubine Rong left, Xiao Yu hurriedly asked, "Are you jealous?"
Chen Fu was about to get up, but after hearing His Majesty's words, an idea suddenly occurred to her mind, and she turned away and deliberately said, "It seems that I came at the wrong time."
His Majesty wanted to congratulate Concubine Shu on her birthday, which naturally did not make Shen Fu angry at all.
After all, Concubine Shu has been favored for so many years. Now that it is her birthday, it would be too cruel for His Majesty to refuse to do so just because he cannot persuade her.
The fact that His Majesty treated Concubine Shu like this just proves that He is not so cold-blooded and heartless.
Shen Fu was relieved by this.
But now... Chen Fu looked at the worried look on His Majesty's face.
Even though she didn't feel the slightest bit jealous, she still turned away and said sourly, "I'm here at the wrong time. I'd better leave first."
Shen Fu straightened up and turned to leave without saying a word. There's nothing she can do about it. Who made her act so affectionate when she was talking to the Emperor in the past?
Shen Fu's back was furious.
Behind him, Xiao Yu was amused and helpless, and immediately reached out to pull Shen Fu back: "I haven't said anything yet, but you're already making fun of me?"
His Majesty said this with a helpless look on his face, and pulled Chen Fu to sit down beside him: "I really have no way to deal with you."
"Who made His Majesty care about so many people?" Chen Fu placed her hand on His Majesty's chest:
"How can such a small heart hold so many people?" She asked half-truthfully, but her eyes were observing the Emperor's expression.
Chen Fu said this deliberately. Based on her understanding of the emperor, she was afraid that no one in the harem could be in His Majesty's heart.
But His Majesty remained calm, chuckled for a long time, raised his hand and touched Chen Fu's head, his eyes doting: "Then why do you, a little girl, have such a bad temper?"
Shen Fu was sitting beside His Majesty and was about to say something when Lin An stepped forward and reported anxiously, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiang fainted while kneeling."
