Chapter 118 Release the Dog
Concubine Yu couldn't stand this sarcasm. She had already come here, so how could she leave in disgrace?
It was not the first time that she had paid her respects to the Queen, so she just did it. She sneered at Chen Qing and said, "I didn't know that Concubine Xi is now the Queen's boss in the harem. Does Concubine Xi need to explain the rules to the Queen?"
Shen Qing smiled and said righteously: "It is everyone's responsibility to abide by the rules of the palace."
Concubine Yu was so angry that she almost died.
The queen looked even more pleased: "Noble Xi said it well. If everyone in the palace understood the rules like Noble Xi, I wouldn't have to worry."
People openly and secretly said that Concubine Yu didn't know the rules.
Shen Qing is used to it. Isn't it just being used as a gun? Anyway, she and Concubine Yu are at loggerheads. Can Concubine Yu let her go? It's obvious that she wants to mess with her whenever she has the chance. Is she still afraid of this?
The Queen used her to stab Concubine Yu, and she used the Queen and the rules to pressure Concubine Yu. In fact, they are almost the same in nature. She only cares about the eldest and doesn't talk about the second. Well, that's good.
The Queen calmly used Chen Qing to stab Concubine Yu. Using Chen Qing was easy for her, so she naturally liked him more and more, and she still had a smile on her face.
No one else wanted to get involved in this mess. As the biological mother of the Third Prince, Concubine Fang was not dressed very well today. After all, there were scars on her face, and if she covered them too much, she would look pale.
The third prince was also brought out for the occasion. Everyone looked over and saw that the third prince's features had grown a little more. The three-month-old child had dark eyes and looked ignorant. He did not cry or make a fuss when held by the wet nurse, but looked around curiously. He looked very cute.
When Concubine Yu looked at him, she thought of the Second Prince. It was the same when the Second Prince was 100 days old. Her heart ached.
At this time Xuanyuan Ling came.
Xuanyuan Ling was always the last to appear. Everyone would salute him, and then Xuanyuan Ling would say polite words if necessary and speak a few words to the queen in a show of politeness if necessary.
The third prince’s hundred-day banquet began like this.
Chen Qing is very well-behaved now. She usually only likes cold dishes at such banquets. After all, hot dishes are not necessarily delicious. They are all served according to the rules. She just watches what programs are available. As I said before, she is not needed in such occasions.
She was chewing the cucumber shreds again, and it took her a long time. Xuanyuan Ling took a casual look and saw that she was indeed eating the cucumber shreds silently, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He really shows his boredom openly, and he is also taking advantage of his low status and the fact that no one is watching him all the time.
But looking at this unbridled manner is much better than the way he eats the food properly.
It made him think of the way the little thing happily picked up food for him when he was in Zhaohua Palace.
He just glanced at it and didn't look at it any more. The Queen was still beside him, and it was still the same routine. Xuanyuan Ling just did what he was supposed to do, and the Queen's words were nothing more than a few festive words.
When the Hundred Days Banquet was almost over, all the concubines left.
Chen Qing naturally went back to Zhaohua Palace. She was not walking fast, but she met Concubine Yu who was turning around.
Concubine Yu made the Third Prince's eyes hurt, and the atmosphere of the Hundred Days Banquet hurt her heart. She was the first to leave, so she walked ahead of Shen Qing. At this moment, Shen Qing saw her turning from afar, and that direction did not seem to be returning to Zhongyu Palace.
Chunhua also saw it and asked: "Why doesn't Concubine Yu return to Zhongyu Palace?"
Shen Qing narrowed his eyes: “Don’t look.”
Chunhua felt that Shen Qing's tone was not right: "My dear, what's wrong?"
"Don't be curious." Concubine Yu left so impatiently just now, why didn't she suddenly go back to Zhongyu Palace? This is obviously unlikely, but if this is unlikely, and Concubine Yu suddenly changed her mind, there must be something wrong here.
Whether someone wanted to target Concubine Yu or Concubine Yu really wanted to change her course suddenly, Shen Qing did not intend to explore the matter out of curiosity. Curiosity in the palace could really kill people.
As for Concubine Yu, she really didn't change the route on purpose. The cats and dogs in the Imperial Pet Garden somehow escaped. Concubine Yu was afraid of dogs and was afraid that they would run into her, so she had to change the route. This change of route required her to take a long detour. Unexpectedly, after taking the detour, she ran into Jinyun, who had brought out the third prince.
Jinyun was the head maidservant beside Concubine Fang, and she was also served by a wet nurse. It was obvious that the Third Prince did not want to sleep at this moment, so he brought her out for a walk.
When Jinyun saw Concubine Yu, she immediately bowed. Concubine Yu wanted to pass by, but Jinyun staggered while holding the child.
Concubine Yu was startled, and at this moment a "woof" sound was suddenly heard.
It turned out to be a dog that came out from nowhere.
Concubine Yu was shocked and at a loss as to what to do. Wan Zhao stood in front of her, but she was in a panic and saw that the dog was about to pounce on her, so she stumbled and fell backwards involuntarily.
At this time, Jinyun was holding the Third Prince and was standing behind Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu bumped into her and she fell to the ground. At the same time, the Third Prince burst into tears.
Concubine Yu was sitting on the ground, still in shock, when she heard the Third Prince crying. She didn't have time to turn her head. She didn't know if the dog was irritated by the child's crying, but it actually jumped over Wan Zhao and pounced on her.
At this moment, Concubine Yu and Jinyun fell together, screaming and making a mess.
Following Jinyun, the people who served the Third Prince also rushed forward to drive away the dog. In a panic, Jinyun shouted, "Empress Yu, please don't do it."
Concubine Yu was panicked. Finally, everyone drove the dog away. Before Concubine Yu could recover, she heard Jinyun crying: "Third Prince! Someone come quickly! The Third Prince is injured!"
The wet nurse and the servants who were standing by were terrified. They saw an obvious bloodstain on the Third Prince's face. Now his face was covered with blood. The little child was crying heartbreakingly.
Jinyun shouted at the person who came and accused Concubine Yu: "Concubine Yu, why did you want to harm the Third Prince! Even if you were panicked, why did you use the Third Prince to block that dog!"
Concubine Yu was really panicked just now. She didn't know for a moment whether she had done this subconsciously, but she couldn't admit it!
She angrily said: "You are slandering me! Who taught you to frame me like this?"
Jinyun shouted, "It was clearly your armor that scratched the Third Prince's face, Concubine Yu. If you didn't want to harm him and use it to block the dog, how could the Third Prince be scratched?"
Jinyun gritted her teeth and said, "Go call the imperial physician."
This matter has become a big deal.
Jinyun shouted that the third prince was injured and called the imperial physician. The empress and the emperor left not long before they hurried back.
The imperial physician also rushed over. When Xuanyuan Ling arrived, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "What happened? Why is the third prince injured?"
"Your Majesty, please come and see the third prince first." Concubine Fang was crying hard at this moment.
The Queen and the Emperor arrived almost at the same time. Looking at Concubine Fang's appearance, she seemed to be thinking about something. Then she looked again and saw that there was indeed a long bloodstain on the Third Prince's face. It was shocking for such a small man to have such a bloodstain on his face.
Xuanyuan Ling was furious: "How dare you! Who hurt the Third Prince?"
Jin Yun knelt on the ground with a plop: "I was holding the Third Prince for a walk, but I didn't expect to meet Concubine Yu on the way. I went forward to pay my respects, and then a dog came and Concubine Yu yelled and threw herself on me. I was holding the Third Prince, and Concubine Yu wanted to use him to block the dog. During the argument, Concubine Yu's armor scratched the Third Prince's face."
