Chapter 113 Concubine Fang and Concubine Yu
After Concubine Fang reported the news, she went over and waited for Xuanyuan Ling to arrive. Ever since the emperor punished Meng Yi and asked the servants from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to watch over the new arrivals, she looked at the new arrivals and suddenly felt a little relieved after being distracted for the past few months.
Originally, she thought that the emperor was angry because of the Third Prince, but then she thought, what if the emperor was really angry with her? Even if she didn't lose favor for the sake of the Third Prince, why did she lose her mind at that time and say those words in front of the emperor just because of a servant?
At this moment, she finally remembered that she had not served Xuanyuan Ling since she gave birth to the third prince.
It happened just in time, the third prince was actually sick. She was frightened at first, but the servants around him were all good. After all, the people who served the third prince had seen this situation before, so she was actually stable now.
But after thinking about it, she finally decided to report it to the emperor.
Finally the emperor came. She was very happy and hurried over to pay her respects.
However, when Xuanyuan Ling saw her bowing, his brows furrowed because of the way she was dressed.
Concubine Fang was waiting for Xuanyuan Ling to come over. Her original intention was to ask Xuanyuan Ling to stay overnight, so she dressed up, making sure that the emperor would feel pity for her.
But she was using the title of the Third Prince, so she didn't want to do anything too obvious. She sighed, "The Third Prince started crying non-stop after noon, and he didn't eat much. Later, he had a fever. I asked the imperial physician to come over, and he said it was food accumulation."
It is not uncommon for children to have a fever due to indigestion. After all, this is not the first time Xuanyuan Ling has been a father, and he has heard such excuses before.
Anyway, it's okay if it's not serious. He didn't blame Concubine Fang for reporting it. After all, he thought that it was her first time to be a mother, so it was normal for her to be flustered when encountering things. Moreover, he could understand that the women in the harem wanted him to take a look when they encountered problems with their children: "You should keep an eye on her more. The food of the wet nurse should also be carefully prepared. If this one is not good, change another one."
Concubine Fang felt really uncomfortable after hearing this. The emperor really cared about the third prince.
"I understand."
What Fangpin said naturally meant that she went to see the child with Xuanyuan Ling.
The child has actually calmed down now. He has stopped crying and is sleeping soundly.
After Xuanyuan Ling finished reading, Concubine Fang took the opportunity to say, "It's already this hour, would the emperor like to stay for dinner?"
Xuanyuan Ling already knew that Concubine Fang was not a peaceful person, so he used Meng Yi's matter to warn her. Now that the Third Prince was sick, she was here to see the child after all, so she wouldn't just walk away and let others see her and feel neglectful towards the Third Prince.
So I still had dinner.
Fangpin acted very obediently in front of Xuanyuan Ling and served the dishes to him. When Xuanyuan Ling took one look at the dishes on the table, he knew that Fangpin had deliberately inquired about his favorite dishes.
In fact, Xuanyuan Ling did not have a preference, but these dishes were all ones he had used several times in recent days, and now they were all on Concubine Fang's table.
It can be seen that Concubine Fang put a lot of thought into this meal.
Xuanyuan Ling had seen this before, and even though he knew it in his heart, he would never despise it. After all, it was natural for the women in the harem to please him. But when he thought about the fact that the Third Prince was already ill, and Concubine Fang was dressed very beautifully and served him so attentively, even having meals prepared in advance, it reminded him of the experience when he was young and asked the Queen Mother to use her to curry favor with him.
He had just had a falling out with the Queen Mother and was thinking of this kind of thing again.
Even though Concubine Fang would not be so bold as to make trouble for the Third Prince, he still disliked her behavior.
No matter how stupid Concubine Fang was, she could tell that Xuanyuan Ling was not enjoying the meal, and her original joy turned into panic again.
"Your Majesty, is it that the food cannot be eaten?"
Xuanyuan Ling glanced at her, but didn't say anything, but he didn't intend to keep her: "I have something else to do, please keep an eye on the Third Prince."
Having said that, he stood up.
Fangpin felt something was wrong ever since she started serving him meals. Now Xuanyuan Ling had really left. She couldn't understand for a moment why she had been so concerned about the Third Prince just now and then left after just having a meal.
Everyone is here, and they just leave like this?
Concubine Fang was so angry that she wanted to stamp her feet, and then something happened that made her even angrier. Xuanyuan Ling left Concubine Fang and went to see Concubine Yu.
Concubine Fang and Concubine Yu have been at odds since Concubine Yu was punished to kneel. Since the death of the second prince, Concubine Yu has really lived in seclusion. Concubine Fang gave birth to the third prince, and Concubine Yu lost the second prince. Although Concubine Fang did not seek revenge, she felt happy. Seeing that the queen made Concubine Yu speechless with just a few words, she felt it was good. After all, the position of a concubine is not as good as that of a concubine. As for plotting against Concubine Yu again,
She had lost her second prince, and the queen was targeting her. Although Concubine Fang hated her, she was not stupid enough to do so. She knew how to find someone with a lower position than herself to control, such as Chen Qing.
But now the emperor has left her and gone straight to find Concubine Yu. Could it be that her third prince is not as good as the third princess left by Concubine Yu?
Concubine Yu was also delighted to see Xuanyuan Ling coming. She saw Xuanyuan Ling bowing gracefully. She had lost a lot of weight now and looked a bit pitiful.
Xuanyuan Ling helped her, and then heard Concubine Yu say, "The Third Princess has just finished her dinner. I found some interesting comic books, and she said she wanted to hear me read them to her."
At the beginning of the day, he no longer talked about himself, but only talked about his children.
Xuanyuan Ling knew that Concubine Yu really understood. He came to see her often now in order to protect the child. Seeing her haggard appearance, he did soften his heart a little.
Concubine Yu looked at him and suddenly knelt down.
"I was blessed by the Emperor in the past, but I took advantage of the favor and became arrogant. It was really my fault. I know I was wrong. Can the Emperor... can you treat me as before?" Concubine Yu was about to cry as she spoke.
Xuanyuan Ling looked at her with a serious expression: "Since you know that it was your arrogance that harmed the child, you should also know that I really disliked your arrogance in the past. Now that the third princess is still here, you should treat her well and I will not treat you unfairly."
Concubine Yu finally shed tears: "I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again."
Xuanyuan Ling helped her up: "Go tell the story to the third princess, she is waiting for you."
Concubine Yu just looked at Xuanyuan Ling like that.
Xuanyuan Ling said: "I will rest in Zhongyu Palace today."
Concubine Yu then wiped her tears and couldn't help wondering in her heart, if the Emperor stayed overnight today, would he ask her to sleep with him?
Have you really forgiven her?
After telling the story to the third princess, Concubine Yu thought about it and finally coaxed the third princess to sleep first. She knew that the emperor cared about the third princess, and he said that they would rest in Zhongyu Palace tonight, so they would rest in Zhongyu Palace. She coaxed the third princess to sleep before going back, but the emperor had already gone to bed.
Concubine Yu suddenly felt empty in her heart. Was the emperor really so unwilling to forgive her? Was he really so heartless for Chen Qing?
In fact, Xuanyuan Ling really didn't have any thoughts of that kind when he saw Concubine Yu. He was deliberately being cold at first. There was nothing wrong with his body and he still had normal needs. But ever since he planned to make Shen Qing pregnant, he became more and more aware of the fact that Concubine Yu had caused Shen Qing to be unable to get pregnant. When he saw Concubine Yu, he couldn't help but think that it was Concubine Yu who caused Shen Qing to be unable to have children.
The little thing stared at Concubine Li's belly eagerly. She wanted a child so much, but because of Concubine Yu, her life was so difficult now.
He really didn't have any thoughts of that kind towards Concubine Yu. It was like looking at a murderer. Concubine Yu killed the child he and Shen Qing would have had in the future. But after all, she was his woman and they had children. He would not give her less face. He would just give her face and not touch her anymore.
