Chapter 96: Bickering
Yikun Palace.
Concubine Wu was wearing a pomegranate red palace dress, with her hair covered with pearls and jade. She sat in the main seat and listened to the flattery of the lower-ranking concubines.
Because the late Empress Yuanyi passed away, His Majesty had no plans to appoint another empress. In his heart, he only had one wife.
Since the Crown Princess was born, His Majesty gave half of the palace power held by Concubine Wu to the Crown Princess.
The four noble, virtuous and virtuous concubines were headed by Concubine Wu. She had two sons and one daughter, the eldest prince, Prince Jin Rong Jinyu, the third prince, Prince Duan Rong Jinqi, and the eldest princess Rong Ruoxue.
Concubine Shu has a son and a daughter, the fifteen-year-old Fifth Prince Rong Jinyan and the twenty-two-year-old Second Princess Rong Ruoyue.
The virtuous concubine had a son and a daughter, the fifteen-year-old Sixth Prince Rong Jinzhen and the eighteen-year-old Third Princess Rong Ruoqin.
Concubine De had a son and a daughter, the ten-year-old Seventh Prince Rong Jinming and the fifteen-year-old Fifth Princess Rong Ruoyan.
The fifteen-year-old Fourth Princess Rong Ruolin, the twelve-year-old Sixth Princess Rong Ruoshu, and the eightieth, ninetieth, and tenth princes were all born to the Nine Concubines.
So Your Majesty has a total of ten sons and six daughters, neither more nor less.
Concubine Xian was always against Concubine Wu, and Concubine Deshu did not have much say in the affairs.
Su Zhenzhen's head was about to explode after hearing this. She suddenly asked, "Chenchen, we should return the gifts they gave us with equal value, right?" The tall man murmured "hmm" in a low voice.
But Su Zhenzhen was so worried about her money. Rong Jinchen's money was also hers. She was just so petty. She had so many brothers and sisters, especially the prince. They would have many, many children, and they would all be married when they were one month old and one year old...
Su Zhenzhen seemed to see countless small coins leaving her. Rong Jinchen saw her little expression and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my dear, I am very frugal and didn't give you any expensive gifts." The gifts he gave were all decent and he didn't spend money recklessly.
She looked at the man with a distressed look and said, "Forget it, forget it. It's better to increase income than to save money." Don't tell her to have more children. She is not that stupid. Why have so many children? Will they be able to raise pigs after a few generations?
As for the childbearing system, she would not use it to have a child. Su Zhenzhen is not someone who likes children very much.
She doesn't rely on having children to win favor.
Besides, who knows what the consequences will be.
The gold-inlaid Ni incense burner in the Yiku Palace was emitting the subtle fragrance of agarwood. The concubines and princesses with their hair covered in pearls and jade were dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking very fancy and enjoying themselves.
Su Zhenzhen couldn't help but envy her father. He was indeed worthy of being the emperor. Tsk.
Concubine Wu smiled with a fake smile. Seeing that neither of them bowed to her, she felt a little annoyed, thinking that Su Zhenzhen was so gracious that she didn't have to bow. She said calmly, "Prince Yan and his wife are here, but they kept us waiting."
If Su Zhenzhen didn't need to formally meet Rong Jinchen's sisters and it was not convenient for her to meet those princes and kings in the East Palace, Rong Jinchen would not want her to come.
Before Su Zhenzhen could speak, Rong Jinchen said, "The prince and Qingqing are going to pay a visit to the queen mother. Concubine Wu, do you have any objection?" Everyone around lowered their heads silently. Some people even laughed at Concubine Wu in their hearts. She was so old, how could she still not recognize the favor of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan!
Besides, the princess and she were taken by His Majesty to have breakfast, and then went to Kunning Palace to see her mother-in-law, so they had to come at this time.
I don’t know what Concubine Wu is trying to do. Every time she confronts His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, he gets humiliated and his face is stomped all over, but she just never learns her lesson.
An angry look flashed across her face, but then she smiled and said, "Speaking of which, our Princess Yan is truly favored by the Emperor. Her father is the Prime Minister of this dynasty, and her two brothers are both civil and military. His Majesty really likes our Princess Yan, calling her Zhenzhen all the time. Even the princess can't compare to her." She added, "I heard that His Majesty just awarded Princess Yan ten Ruyi of various shapes, symbolizing perfection, and countless rare treasures. Even the Crown Princess couldn't compare to them."
The princess and the crown princess, whose names were called out by Concubine Wu, had indifferent expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they were masters of palace fighting.
Su Zhenzhen exclaimed in her heart, "Wow, this is simply making her hate you so much." She stopped Rong Jinchen who was about to speak. The delicate and beautiful girl with fair skin and beautiful face looked at Concubine Wu with innocent eyes, "My Lady, are you jealous of me?" She chose to beat the master to death with random punches and refused to accept the attack.
Everyone: ...
Wow.
How can one respond to this?
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you exchange some sarcastic remarks with each other and then savor them carefully?
The main point is that everything is implied and laid out openly on the table, which is so speechless.
Why does the Princess of Yan act so unconventionally?
Su Zhenzhen said again: "Your Highness, is your brother too useless? Otherwise, why isn't he the emperor's confidant like my father? Then you would have the same treatment as me." She would not prove herself, as proving herself would fall into a trap.
Concubine Wu's face turned pale and blue. The key point was that she couldn't hit or scold Su Zhenzhen. After all, she didn't have to bow to all the women in the world!
Her mother-in-law, who could control her, has passed away, and His Majesty is obviously about to pamper her to the extreme. The Crown Princess is just a sister-in-law, and she is just a noble concubine.
She was so angry.
Even when people used sarcastic words to attract hatred to her, she didn't respond and just went straight to her!
Concubine Wu has been in the palace for so many years, but I have never seen such an outrageous person!
I couldn't help but want to curse. What kind of weird thing did Rong Jinchen fall for?
Su Zhenzhen finally smiled sweetly and cutely while holding Rong Jinchen's hand, "Oh, Chenchen, you said I asked father not to favor me alone, but he thought I was pretentious. What if he didn't listen?" "Just favor me, huh." She looked at Concubine Wu with a smug look in her eyes.
She looked at the Crown Princess soothingly, blinked, and indicated that they were fighting together. The Crown Princess's eyes moved and she looked at her with a smile.
When Concubine Wu heard that some of the concubines and princes and princesses sitting below her laughed out loud, her face turned dark.
At this time, her personal nanny spoke, "Your Highness, the golden-threaded blood swallows His Majesty gave you a few days ago are very rare. You should drink bird's nest." Concubine Wu forced a smile and said, "I will be leaving first. Sisters, please feel free to do as you please."
Su Zhenzhen became more and more demanding, "Your Majesty, you have to drink more. If it's not enough, I'll give it to you. Father has given you a lot of rewards." Her tone was very asking for a beating, but Rong Jinchen looked at her cunning appearance with a very gentle look in his eyes.
Everyone in the harem once again had a deep understanding of the legendary Princess Yan.
It is true that you cannot judge a book by its cover. She is such a strange woman. His Royal Highness Prince Yan is indeed extraordinary.
His Majesty!
His Royal Highness Prince Yan!
Don't just look at the face!
But seeing Concubine Wu being humiliated, they wanted to laugh.
The Crown Princess had to maintain her image as a Crown Princess, so even though Concubine Wu was not her biological mother-in-law, she had to maintain outward respect and harmony. She had never experienced Su Zhenzhen making Concubine Wu so angry that she fled in panic.
As for the other concubines, they had long disliked Concubine Wu because she was used to being arrogant and always bullied others secretly. Did she really think of herself as the queen who was the mother of the country?
Su Zhenzhen knew that His Majesty loved her and her family, and his filter was very thick. Besides, it was not her who started the incident today, so it had nothing to do with her.
