Chapter 363 Who can’t give birth?
Shuhua was standing at the door. She heard the Second Imperial Concubine's roar clearly. When she saw Lingxiang coming out, she said without waiting for her to speak, "Since the Second Imperial Concubine is too sad to see guests, I will go back first."
Lingxiang thought about it and didn't explain anything for her own imperial concubine. She just said, "Sister, take care."
Shuhua nodded slightly and turned to leave.
At the same time, Yongfu Palace.
When Concubine Yi learned that her son and daughter-in-law were in trouble, she could no longer sit still and rushed to Chengqian Palace to plead for her son. However, she was stopped by Shao Hua halfway there.
"Your servant greets Her Majesty Concubine Yi." Shaohua bowed and saluted.
When Concubine Yi saw that it was the senior maidservant beside Queen Song, she asked politely, "Shaohua, where are you going?"
Shao Hua said, "I am here on the orders of the Empress to invite Concubine Yi to the Jingren Palace to talk."
Concubine Yi frowned slightly.
It was rare for the queen to take the initiative to talk to her, so she should go there immediately, but now she had more important things to do.
After thinking for a while, Concubine Yi said, "Please tell Her Majesty that I have something important to discuss with the Emperor now. I will go to pay my respects to Her Majesty later."
I asked you to go to Jingren Palace just to prevent you from going to see the emperor.
Shaohua said silently in his heart.
"The Queen said it was about the Third Prince." Shaohua said.
When Concubine Yi heard this, she immediately asked the palace servants who were carrying the sedan chair to turn around and go to Jingren Palace.
The Queen must have heard about the Third Prince's affairs, so she took the initiative to discuss it with her. If the Queen came forward to plead for the Third Prince, it would be much more effective.
This brat can't do anything useful. He even caused the Second Princess's child to get lost by holding a banquet. Even if the Emperor doesn't love the Second Prince as much as the Eighth Prince, the Second Princess's belly is carrying the legitimate grandson of the Emperor. It would be strange if the Emperor didn't skin him alive in anger.
The sedan chair stopped at the gate of Jingren Palace. As soon as Concubine Yi got off the sedan chair, she strode towards the main hall. Her voice arrived before she arrived.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, help me..."
The Queen was pruning flower branches with a pair of scissors. When she heard Concubine Yi's wailing, she almost cut the branches wrongly.
As soon as they entered the palace, before Concubine Yi spoke again, Empress Song said to her indifferently, "Concubine Yi, do you still act like a master?"
How disgraceful it is to cry and make a fuss.
Even if you are old and don't want to be favored anymore, you can't be so indifferent.
Concubine Yi choked and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, I greet you. May you live in peace and happiness."
Queen Song put down the scissors in her hand, and Yunlu brought her some clean water for her to wash her hands.
"Your Majesty, you called me here because you are going to plead with the Emperor on behalf of the Third Prince?" Concubine Yi sat down aside, looked at the Queen expectantly, and said.
Queen Song wiped her hands and said, "No."
"Ah?" Concubine Yi was dumbfounded: "Then why did you ask me to come?"
The rejection was so straightforward that it hurt the Empress.
Empress Song glanced at Concubine Yi, who looked resentful, and said, "Hold you back and don't go to beg for mercy."
"Why?" Concubine Yi looked at Queen Song in a daze.
If it were in the past, her first reaction would be that the Queen was trying to make things difficult for her son, but now, since everyone is in the same boat, there still has to be a certain degree of trust between them.
Concubine Yi didn't understand why Queen Song didn't let her go and plead with the Emperor, but she didn't think the Queen was trying to make things difficult for her.
"With the Eighth Prince here, the Emperor will not punish the Third Prince severely. The Emperor has already issued an order to punish him lightly and give him a severe warning."
Concubine Yi suddenly realized what was going on and breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I won't worry anymore."
If it were any other prince, Concubine Yi would definitely doubt whether he had the ability to ask the emperor to give him a lighter sentence.
If it was the Eighth Prince, the Third Prince would not be severely punished as long as he said a word.
"Then, Madam, how will the Emperor punish them?"
Queen Song said: "She will be confined to her house for three months and fined one year's salary. The Third Concubine will copy the mantra for the deceased child 100 times for the Second Concubine."
In fact, she had heard the news for a while. The reason why Concubine Yi didn't know was because she wasted her time on the road. When the news reached Yongfu Palace, she was not there.
Queen Song just guessed that with Concubine Yi's personality, when she heard that her son had gotten into trouble and came to the palace to apologize, she might not be able to sit still and go to plead for mercy, so she asked Shaohua to wait for her on the road.
Unexpectedly, one by one he kept it.
It's useless for anyone to plead for mercy in this matter. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, it is true that the Second Princess had a miscarriage and lost her child. The Third Prince and his wife must bear the blame for this.
"House arrest and salary deduction are minor matters, but why do I have to ask my daughter-in-law to copy scriptures for Concubine Shu's daughter-in-law? She is so beautiful." Concubine Yi snorted and said unconvinced.
Queen Song glanced at Concubine Yi speechlessly and said, "She has lost her child, so what's wrong with asking your daughter-in-law to copy a scripture?"
Concubine Yi gritted her teeth: "..."
I just feel unhappy.
But then she thought about the fact that Concubine Shu's grandson was gone, and Concubine Yi suddenly felt balanced again.
Let the Second Imperial Concubine do it herself, and now she has lost her child.
She doesn't even have a grandson, so why can that old bitch Shufei have a legitimate grandson first?
After thinking for a while, Concubine Yi suddenly said, "Your Majesty, you see, the Second Prince already has two concubines, and the Third Prince only has one principal wife, and there is no child in the mansion."
So angry.
Although the second prince had no legitimate son, he had two illegitimate daughters.
However, those two concubine daughters were not born from Concubine Xu, but were born to concubines in the mansion.
Queen Song's eyebrows jumped: "What do you want to do now? The third master has countless concubines, who can't give birth?"
Concubine Yi curled her lips and said, "It's better for the child to be the wife and concubine. How can you call the concubine sir? Where does that put the wife and concubine?"
Thinking of this, Concubine Yi suddenly felt that her son was much better than the Second Prince. At least he didn't ask his concubine to have children.
Even though a concubine is a concubine, she is still a concubine with status and position. The difference between her and the principal wife is only in name. However, the concubine without status in the prince's mansion is too different from the concubine, and the children she gives birth to will not have a high status either.
"Does that mean the Third Imperial Concubine can't have children?" Queen Song glared at her unhappily.
Concubine Yi nodded righteously: "I finally got pregnant, but then I had a miscarriage for no apparent reason. This means I can't have children."
Queen Song: “…”
I'm so tired and don't want to talk anymore.
Queen Song didn't want to respond, she just held the cup and drank tea silently.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, with a hint of awkwardness. Concubine Yi could not wait for Queen Song's response, so she twisted her handkerchief and said, as if she had made an important decision, "Queen, the Third Prince is sincere to Miss Chen. Please, Queen, for the sake of his devotion, fulfill his wish?"
Okay, old things are brought up again.
"I think he is just wishful thinking?" Queen Song said bluntly.
Chen Hanlin is aloof and wants his legitimate daughter to be his concubine. Does it mean he thinks he will live too long and wants to see him bleed in the Golden Palace?
A concubine is also a concubine.
