Chapter 25 Today is Dark, Cold, Deep, Domineering, Cool, Ninety-nine
——【Prince Su, this lustful old fellow, would risk his life to ask for whatever his concubine wanted, but he didn’t know that all his seven sons would eventually die at the hands of that concubine.】
——【When the old man returns, he must be careful of his beautiful concubine who is fourteen years old! 】
——【She is not a pushover. If we calculate the date, she will kill one of the old man’s sons in the next two days.】
Jiujiu's thoughts kept lingering in King Suqing's mind, and could not be shaken off.
Prince Su wanted to go to the palace immediately to ask Jiujiu how she knew all this? Would all his seven sons really die? Was there any way to prevent this bad news from happening?
But suddenly many guests came forward to persuade him not to think too much and hurt himself.
After dealing with the guests and burying the crown prince, Prince Su was already physically and mentally exhausted. He could hardly stand steadily, let alone enter the palace.
He could only rest for one day and enter the palace the next day.
After arriving at the palace the next day, he sat with the Queen Mother for a long time and talked to her for a long time.
He had been looking for an opportunity to ask the Queen Mother to help him meet Jiujiu, but every time the words came to his lips, he hesitated.
On the day of the palace banquet, when he was leaving the palace, the emperor sent someone to remind him to be careful of his new concubine, but in order to protect the concubine, he drove the person away with a bad attitude and almost hit her. The princess's inner voice also reminded him, but he heard it all, but he didn't care.
It didn't matter at the time.
If he asked again now, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face?
Prince Su was very concerned about his reputation, so he suddenly didn't want to see Jiujiu anymore. In addition, he was hoping for the best, thinking that Jiujiu's thoughts might not be entirely accurate, that the death of the Crown Prince was just a coincidence, and that his other sons might not necessarily suffer any accidents.
It was because of his impulsiveness that he entered the palace.
In the end, he didn't ask, but just exchanged a few simple greetings and left the palace.
On the way, he met Jiujiu, who wanted to talk to him and told him to be careful of his concubine, because in a few days, not only the crown prince, but also Prince Su's second son would be killed by the concubine.
But Prince Su had an arrogant look on his face, and his sedan chair did not even stop, but passed Jiujiu and went straight forward.
Jiujiu stayed where he was and muttered, "Why is this old man running so fast? Jiujiu is not going to eat him."
"Or does Jiujiu look fierce?"
Jiujiu muttered.
Li Fei, who was playing with her, heard it and said hurriedly, "Mother's Jiujiu is so cute, how can she be fierce?"
"Then why did Grandpa Prince Su run away when he saw me?"
"That's because..." Concubine Li was thinking about the reason.
Emperor Zhaoning came over not far away, and he continued what Concubine Li said, "That's because Prince Su had something to do at home, and he was in a hurry to leave the palace to handle things."
“Oh, I see!”
Jiujiu is no longer entangled.
Emperor Zhaoning came to Jiujiu and Concubine Li, and seeing that both mother and daughter were wearing very thin clothes, he frowned and said distressedly: "It's a bit cold today, how can you come out wearing such thin clothes?"
Emperor Zhaoning touched the hands of the mother and daughter and realized that both of their hands were very cold. He quickly took off his cloak and put it on Concubine Li first, then picked up Jiujiu and used his body to keep her warm.
Jiujiu nestled in Zhaoning's arms, with only one feeling.
[Wow, my cheap dad is so warm! ]
After a pause, Jiujiu started sniffing Emperor Zhaoning like a puppy again.
[My cheap dad smells so good today, what brand of shower gel does he use? ]
body wash?
Emperor Zhaoning was puzzled. What was that? It sounded like something for bathing.
Jiujiu blinked her big grape-like eyes and asked, "Father, how did you become so fragrant? Jiujiu also wants to be as fragrant as this?"
After hearing this, Emperor Zhaoning said without hesitation: "Fu'an, go and take the amber incense I used today to Qiushuiju for the princess to use."
This, this, this...
The fragrance of the sinking incense is noble and elegant, and it can also repel mosquitoes and insects. Due to the complicated production process, it is only used by the emperor, and others are not qualified to use it. But today, Emperor Zhaoning gave the sinking incense to the princess?
Isn’t the princess too favored?
The number one person in and outside the palace!
Even the prince had never had such honor and favor.
It seems that the emperor really cares about the princess. The princess is so lucky.
Fuan was happy for Jiujiu.
Emperor Zhaoning asked, "Why are you grinning like an idiot? Go quickly."
"I'll go right away."
Fuan went to do some work.
Emperor Zhaoning asked: "Jiujiu, tell me what else you want? I will give it to you!"
Jiujiu tilted his head and thought for a while: "Not yet."
[I'll tell my father when I have it later! ]
[Sooner or later, my father will bleed profusely. ]
[Hehehe, today I am the dark, cold, deep, overbearing and cool Jiujiu. Once I put on my sunglasses, I don’t love anyone. ]
[Just sunglasses? Where are my sunglasses? ]
The time for Concubine Jiang's house arrest has come. She has finally been able to go out for a walk recently. At this moment, she and Concubine Qing listened to what Emperor Zhaoning said to Jiujiu, and they were so angry that they couldn't hold the fans in their hands steadily.
"She's just a little androgynous kid. I don't understand why she's so favored. She doesn't look special!"
"Not much to say."
"Only stuttering occasionally."
"I really don't know why the emperor likes her?"
"Is it because she's pretty?"
No way, the wise and powerful emperor in her mind couldn’t be so superficial, right?
Concubine Qing said, "Sister Jiang, you know what, the emperor may really just like Jiujiu's good looks."
Concubine Jiang shook her handkerchief in a resentful tone, "Superficial." After a pause, "How about we find a pretty girl from among the princes and nobles? Keep her in the palace, maybe the emperor will stop favoring that old eighteenth and favor our people instead."
"We sisters won't have to sit on the bench every day."
Concubine Jiang and Concubine Qing have been having a hard time these days. Emperor Zhaoning has never visited them once, and they feel like the palace is so cold that it's freezing.
Concubine Qing thought about it seriously and said, "The daughter of the late emperor's youngest daughter, the adopted daughter Princess Qing, Princess Anle, just turned three this year. It is said that she is very pretty, even prettier than Jiujiu. Why not summon her to the palace?"
Concubine Jiang snorted coldly, somewhat disdainfully: "Although Princess Qing is the only daughter of the late emperor, she was adopted after all, not a biological daughter. She fell out of favor after the late emperor's death and was married to a powerful official to balance the power of the court. It is said that her life is not easy. Calling her and her daughter into the palace is really a compliment to her."
Concubine Jiang wanted to promote people from her mother's family.
But think about it, the children in her mother's family are either fat or have grimace, all of them are ugly... Alas...
How could Concubine Qing not understand what Concubine Jiang was thinking? She said, "Your Majesty, we still have to find someone good-looking to come in, because only someone good-looking can help us regain the emperor's favor."
"We have been neglected for long enough. We really can't tolerate Jiujiu, that androgynous jerk, riding on our heads any longer. Not to mention Concubine Li. Favor is more important!"
"Okay, bring the person in!"
