Chapter 127 Awakening
After Xuanyuan Ling looked at the third prince and found out that Concubine Chun didn't like him, he naturally disappeared. He was not stingy with rewards and the like. After all, he had a child. Although Concubine Chun didn't lack these, she still had to ask someone to take good care of him.
After the Third Prince was settled, he was busy in the former court for a few days. After that, he thought of the Third Princess again. Concubine Yu was under house arrest. Concubine Yu and Sun Liangren were both responsible for the Third Prince's matter. He repeatedly gave her face out of her love for her son, but she really trampled on the face he gave her.
If there was any sympathy before because of the Second Prince's matter and her actions when she was quiet, now all the sympathy has disappeared.
Xuanyuan Ling has now really made Concubine Yu realize that she really cannot be spoiled anymore. Once she is spoiled a little, Concubine Yu will return to her domineering behavior.
No, it’s not about returning to her domineering appearance, but being domineering is her nature. How can she change her nature?
Peace is only temporary.
Now in Xuanyuan Ling's heart, Concubine Yu is really someone he doesn't even want to favor openly, and the Third Princess is around.
"Go and bring the third princess here."
Zhao Hai thought to himself that Concubine Yu was really...doing a sin.
Does the emperor not want to go to Zhongyu Palace at all now? If he misses his child, he can just ask someone to bring him here to see him?
Concubine Yu was originally under house arrest. When she heard the news that Zhao Hai was coming to take the third princess away, she was so shocked that she almost fell to her knees. The emperor clearly did not give an order to take the third princess away, and she did not demote her.
Zhao Hai finally tried to comfort her: "It's just that the emperor was busy with his previous affairs, but he missed the third princess after not seeing her for a few days, so he asked me to bring her over to talk."
What I mean is that they don’t mean to take your child away, so don’t be afraid.
Concubine Yu's heart fell back, but she was still angry as she watched Zhao Hai take the third princess away. How could she not understand that the emperor had restored her favor because of the death of the second prince and was concerned about her situation in the harem, but in the end she didn't even sleep with him. She had suppressed her emotions for a long time, and Sun Liangren exposed them.
In fact, even if she slapped Sun Liangren in front of the Queen, these were just small matters. The big matter was that Sun Liangren harmed the Third Prince because of this incident.
She has been with the emperor for many years, how could she not know that the emperor values children? Now he is unwilling to give her the face, but he is always concerned about the third princess, so he asked someone to take the child away. Does this mean to tell everyone that although Concubine Yu has fallen out of favor, the third princess is still noble?
Concubine Yu didn't know whether to cry or laugh when she thought of this: "You said, the emperor doesn't even give me face, is it because now that Concubine Chun has the third prince, the emperor doesn't need to use me to restrain the queen?"
Wan Zhao was shocked when he heard this: "You can't say that, Madam."
At least there was no one around, but Wan Zhao was still frightened.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of." Concubine Yu said, "You've seen clearly these days. The emperor came but didn't favor me. It was just for the third princess. He said it was for the third princess, but in fact, the emperor protected me at the beginning, and I even gave birth to the second prince and the third princess. Do you know if he has any intention of restraining the queen? The queen is the daughter of the Chen family, and the emperor doesn't like her."
Wan Zhao really didn't dare to answer this, but he still advised Concubine Yu: "Don't think too much, Your Majesty. The Emperor is just angry because of the Third Prince's matter. The Emperor is always soft-hearted towards Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will definitely regain his favor."
"I will regain your favor." Concubine Yu said calmly, "Because I still have my father and my relatives. If the emperor still needs them, I can still sit on the throne of consort. Don't you think so?"
As she spoke, a complicated expression appeared on her face. She looked at Wan Zhao and said, "But if what I have gained is all because of my relatives, then what is the love and affection I have had with the emperor over the years?"
It's not that she wasn't favored. She was once the most favored one in the harem.
Is this just because of family? Does the emperor have any intention? Is his love for her genuine, or is it just for the sake of family? Then what does her sincerity towards him count for?
She had such a stubborn temper that she would never want to marry unless she liked the one. At that time, the emperor, who was still a prince, rode his horse through the long street and looked down at her condescendingly. She only took one look at him and knew that she had to marry him.
This sight had made her dream for many years. When she suddenly woke up from this dream, she found that it was covered in blood.
Was it always her wishful thinking? Was it her or her family that he wanted?
Concubine Yu was really getting stuck in a rut. She thought she had been in love for so many years, but suddenly reality slapped her in the face. She found out that the love she thought she had for so many years was nothing but a dream. She was so stuck in this rut that she couldn't get out of it.
In fact, this matter is not a big deal for Shen Qing. I have a background, and there is no conflict between me and you. If you insist on separating love from identity, you will be making things difficult for yourself. After all, your identity determines your character and vision.
If he really loves you, then he naturally loves the truest version of you who has grown up under this identity. If he really only likes your identity, then how can it be called a love gone wrong? It's just that what you think is love was not love from the beginning.
To pamper someone, you don’t necessarily need to love them, especially when you are sharing a man with so many people.
Of course, Chen Qing didn't know the torment that Concubine Yu was feeling now. She just wanted to eat and sleep. After Xuanyuan Ling said that he wouldn't come in the next few days, he really didn't come in the past few days. Six days had passed.
Shen Qing knew the news outside during these six days. Xuanyuan Ling had indeed gone to Concubine Zhao's place. Of course, this had no impact on Shen Qing at all. Her life had been rich since she was favored and no longer had to worry about being poor. She felt her bones were stiff after playing mahjong for a few days. Thinking that she hadn't exercised for a long time, she asked Chunhua Fangyun and the others to jump rope. The rope was made by Wang Lu. She jumped by herself and changed the dance moves, which made the servants in Zhaohua Palace marvel.
Chunhua was there counting how many dances Chen Qing had performed. Zhaohua Palace was bustling and joyful, and the eunuchs who occasionally passed by the palace were envious.
Everyone knows now that Concubine Xi of Zhaohua Palace is famous for being kind to her servants and generous. If the people in Chenqing Palace had not been settled, the eunuchs and palace maids outside would have been trying their best to come to Zhaohua Palace.
When Xuanyuan Ling called the Third Princess over, he was not asking any questions. He was just concerned and just wanted to talk to the Third Princess.
Of course, what the Third Princess said was what she liked to eat and what she liked to play, but today the Third Princess suddenly said, "I see that Mother seems unhappy. I want Mother to take me for a walk, but Mother says I can't go out, and asks Madam to take me out. Father, why can't Mother go out?"
Zhao Hai was horrified when he heard this. Could it be that Concubine Yu taught him this?
Xuanyuan Ling didn't think that this was taught by Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu was domineering and arrogant. She probably didn't want her daughter to know about her own predicament, so she was not angry.
This is different from using children to compete for favors. It's just that the children in front of you don't understand.
He then raised his hand and touched the Third Princess's head and said, "If Min Ning wants to come out, she can go to Father. Mother made a mistake, and Father punished her. It's like if Min Ning didn't obey, would Mother punish Min Ning?"
The third princess thought about it, not sure if she understood it or not, but she nodded as if she understood.
Xuanyuan Ling talked to the third princess for a while and sent her back, and specifically instructed: "The people serving in Zhongyu Palace must not slack off."
Zhao Hai had to go and give Concubine Yu another beating, and this made the Queen feel even more disappointed. The Emperor was becoming more and more alienated from her day by day. He put Concubine Yu under house arrest on the surface, but in fact he still couldn't bear to let her go and asked people to take care of her. Concubine Yu... This thorn really hurt the Queen.
