Chapter 126 Concubine Chun appears
Xuanyuan Ling did want to stay the night, after all, the Queen had been disrespectful enough to her, but in the end she did not stay.
Zhao Hai looked at Xuanyuan Ling and sighed in his heart, Queen, do you really not want your own child anymore or what?
In fact, just as Concubine Yu is obedient and the Emperor is willing to give her face, the same is true for the Empress.
Zhao Hai has been following Xuanyuan Ling and knows that he is not really a ruthless emperor. Although he has methods, he also has feelings.
After all, the emperor is still young. Although he has a grudge against the queen because of the empress dowager, the fact that the queen has been childless has also been discussed in the previous dynasty. Now the emperor just wants the children in the harem to be older and safer before asking the queen to have children.
But the Queen Mother was so impatient. Even if there was no love between husband and wife, there was always affection between them, and the Queen Mother had to give face. The Emperor would never be so far as to not even give face to the Queen. It was just because he had a grudge against the Queen Mother due to his childhood.
But the Empress was never able to guess what the Emperor was thinking. She only thought about the present and never considered the future.
How can we go on like this? Lady Li's pregnancy looks terrible, but I hope it will be safer.
The Queen watched the Emperor leave and pursed her lips.
Jinzhi didn't know how to comfort her behind her.
The Queen smiled at Jinzhi's expression, but it was a fake smile: "The Emperor has no intention of giving me a child, so I can only fight for it myself. After all, the Emperor will not disregard etiquette. Concubine Li will definitely give me the child. You go and make arrangements, and make sure Concubine Li has a safe birth."
After a pause, the queen continued, "Go ask if there is a recipe that can guarantee the birth of a boy."
Jinzhi said: "There are some folk remedies, but Lady Li's baby is so precious that I dare not try them without permission."
The Queen knew: "When Lady Li moves to Luhua Palace, you can ask the imperial physician if there is any safe way. This matter must be done cleanly."
"I know." After a pause, she asked again, "Then the Third Prince..."
After all, Concubine Chun got a prince for nothing. Concubine Chun used to assist in managing the six palaces, and now she has a prince. Unlike Concubine Shun, who has an obscure family background and is still a concubine after giving birth to the eldest prince, Concubine Chun is a girl from a noble family.
How could the Queen not be disgusted? It was obvious that Concubine Chun didn't want to be in charge of things, but the Emperor still wanted to keep her around. In the harem, except for Concubine Ru, Concubine Yu and Concubine Chun, everyone else was favored by the Emperor more than her. She was extremely frustrated as the Queen, not to mention the Empress Dowager was suppressing her.
"There's no need to touch her now. The Emperor is paying close attention to her."
The Queen noticed this point. The Emperor gave the Third Prince to Concubine Chun, which did not mean that he completely trusted Concubine Chun.
But he had no choice. Concubine Ru was not a person who was content with what she had to endure. She was just hiding away because she was out of favor. If she gave the child to her, the harem would be in turmoil again. Concubine Yu and Sun Liangren were obviously at odds with each other, and there was also the Third Princess by her side. As for her, the Emperor had made it clear that he did not want to give her a prince. Therefore, only Concubine Chun was left. Concubine Chun had always been content with what she had to endure. She would not have children since her miscarriage. Her health was sometimes good and sometimes bad, which was why she was out of favor. It was not because the Emperor hated her.
The Emperor would naturally send someone to keep an eye on Concubine Chun as she is raising the Third Prince. Now the Emperor must be annoyed that she insists on having a child. If she makes any move at this time, she would be courting death.
The Queen felt very aggrieved. If the Emperor had not wanted to suppress the Chen family, why would she, the Queen, feel so aggrieved? He used Concubine Yu to suppress her, and Concubine Chun to suppress her. She even had to plan for a child by herself. Did she want this?
Thinking about the emperor, she had become increasingly alienated from him over the years.
But even if she is separated from her husband, she is still the queen, and she will continue on this path.
The Queen said calmly, "You should also keep an eye on Ms. Sun. Don't let anything happen to her."
Jinzhi understood that this good lady Sun might be useful in the future. After all, even if she was under house arrest now, there would be a day when she would come out. Even if she was a good lady, she was still the biological mother of the third prince.
The Queen was very angry about Concubine Chun keeping the Third Prince, and Concubine Chun also had mixed feelings when looking at the Third Prince.
She has been in a bad mood ever since the death of the eldest princess and her subsequent miscarriage. Sometimes she even uses illness as an excuse to not go to pay her respects to the queen. People come and go in the harem, some are favored and some are out of favor, and she doesn't expect to be favored anymore, but now she has a child for nothing.
There was a scar on the child's face, which made people feel very sad. After all, she was a mother. She held him and comforted him. The pain on the child's face probably disappeared, and he actually smiled when he saw her.
At this moment, Concubine Chun's eyes suddenly became sore and she couldn't help but shed tears. Her eldest princess was like this at the beginning. When she hugged her and coaxed her, she would smile at her.
Xuanyuan Ling saw this scene when he arrived, and thought to himself that Chen Qing was right, Concubine Chun would be a good mother. Now, seeing her tears, he thought of the eldest princess who died young.
He has always been protective of children. He still remembered when the eldest princess passed away. He felt a little sad at the moment, but after all, a long time had passed. He came here today to see the third prince.
Let’s not mention the eldest princess, which only added to Concubine Chun’s sorrow.
At this time, the servants around Concubine Chun noticed Xuanyuan Ling, and they all began to salute.
Concubine Chun thought Xuanyuan Ling would come, but she didn't expect him to come so late at night. He hadn't come to her palace for a long time.
"Greetings to His Majesty."
Xuanyuan Ling went to help her up: "You are holding the child, no need to bow."
Concubine Chun asked him to help her and pursed her lips: "Your Majesty, you are here to see the Third Prince. The Third Prince is very well behaved."
"Yes." Xuanyuan Ling said: "You should also take care of your own health and ask the imperial physician to check your pulse more often. Raising a child is very stressful."
How long had it been since Concubine Chun heard him express concern for her? Was he really concerned about her health or was he concerned about the Third Prince? Concubine Chun found that she was unable to control her thoughts, so she quickly collected her thoughts and returned to her calm demeanor: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
Xuanyuan Ling saw that there was some coldness between her brows. After Concubine Chun lost her two children and was infertile, she was worried about her children. She probably felt sad when she saw him. In fact, she had asked for her own loss of favor.
Xuanyuan Ling saw through it, and gradually stopped coming. Actually, he still had some feelings for her, and said to her, "If you need anything in the future, just go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and get it. If the servants are not satisfied with the supplies, you can exchange them." This batch was the same one that had served the third prince before.
Those who were implicated in the Third Prince's incident were dealt with, but the few who followed were not implicated, and they were afraid that if all the people were replaced by new ones, they would not be able to serve the Third Prince well, so they stayed behind.
Concubine Chun nodded: "I will definitely take good care of the Third Prince, Your Majesty, please rest assured."
After Xuanyuan Ling saw the Third Prince, Concubine Chun had no intention of trying to keep him. He knew that he was just here to take a look and had no intention of staying overnight, so he went back to Qianyuan Palace by himself.
Zhao Hai felt sorry for the emperor. Concubine Chun was so displeased with him that she had even made it public. It had been a long time since they last saw each other, but she hadn’t even said a nice word to him.
