Chapter 468 Don’t I need to lose face?

Mammy Ying carefully covered Concubine Yu with a quilt, "Do you need me to find someone to go to the front of the palace to see His Highness?"

Concubine Yu gritted her teeth angrily, "Since the queen has come forward, she will not easily let the emperor speak to exempt the third prince from the penalty of kneeling. At this time, the more miserable the third prince is, the more the emperor will feel sorry for him. There is no need to worry about him. If he can't even do this If you can't bear the hardship, you will really become a waste."

Seeing that Concubine Yu was bitten to death, Aunt Ying did not let go, and she did not dare to speak any more to persuade her.

Just at this time, the **** outside the door reported that Yunying had agreed to come to see him.

Concubine Yu knew that Yunying must be here for the third prince's affairs without even thinking about it. She thought that Yunying could not be of any help at this time, so she asked Aunt Ying to take care of him.

Yunying, who was standing in the yard, was very anxious, but in the end she didn't even see Concubine Yu's face.

Yunying didn’t give up, but she could only grit her teeth and leave.

Now she has the emperor's promise that no matter how worried she is, she will never go to the front of the palace without permission.

 Her stomach sank for no reason, and Yunying lowered her eyes, her dark eyes full of disgust and hatred.

All things considered, this child came at the wrong time.

There was no movement on the Yueyue Palace side, and similarly, there was no movement on the Yuqian side.

 It was as if the third prince fainted had not happened at all.

If Emperor Yongchang was still worried about Concubine Yu who fell ill just now, then now he just wanted to throw Concubine Yu into a bucket of cold water and take a dip.

Emperor Yongchang liked the concubine's coquettishness, but there was also a time limit for such coquettishness.

At this time, if you still want to deceive him by calling him sick, what do you think he is?

In fact, when Emperor Yongchang heard that Concubine Yu was ill, he had already guessed that it was Concubine Yu's method. However, he knew it was one thing, but now that it came out of Ji Hongliao's mouth, it was another matter.

Oh, everyone knows that you are pretending to be ill, and you want me to pardon the third prince for you. You can be shameless in front of me, but I also don’t have to be shameless in front of everyone?

Originally, Emperor Yongchang's anger had not subsided, and then he heard the news that the third prince had fainted from the front of the palace. Emperor Yongchang did not directly order someone to drag the third prince to kneel on the nail board, all because he was too partial to his son. .

  The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. They all try to deceive by pretending to be sick.

 Keep kneeling!

 The entire palace did not cause any disturbance because of the third prince's fainting.

The concubines in each palace were full of suspicion. After all, the third prince had been favored by the emperor since childhood.

It was the third prince who was lying in the open space in front of the imperial court with a confused look on his face. In the past, coma was the most effective way to deal with his father, but why didn't it work now?

Don't say that the emperor didn't send anyone over. In the blink of an eye, he was lying on the green bricks for a stick of incense. Even his mother and concubine didn't send anyone over to take a look.

 Baili Rongze thought hard and couldn't figure out why his trick didn't work.

But lying on the cold ground, he knew clearly that since he was pretending to be unconscious, he had to fight to the end. Even if no one came, he would never get up if he didn't lie on the ground for an hour.

The palace seems to be very strict, but news spreads the fastest. Within two hours, all the princes outside the palace heard about it.

It was rare for the princes to see the third prince cheating. They could be said to have stayed up all night laughing. Early the next morning, they all got on the carriages entering the palace, wanting to go to the palace to see the third prince's downcast appearance. .

As it turned out, the princes had just entered the palace when they heard that the emperor had summoned the third prince to the imperial study.

No one knew what the emperor had said to the third prince. The princes, who had been pricking their ears, only knew that when the third prince came out of the imperial study, he had become the chief general who went to Huaishang to suppress the bandits. Two thousand elite soldiers went with the third prince.

Speaking of the idea of ​​taking advantage of one's crimes and making meritorious deeds, the princes all knew in their hearts that this was simply because their father had softened his heart again.

 What can the princes who woke up so early in the morning and didn't even make it to the meeting say, they can only go to their respective palaces and find their respective mothers.

Concubine Zhang Shu had just finished washing when she heard that the Eighth Prince was coming. With the help of the palace attendants, she went down to the front hall, and she saw the Eighth Prince sitting in a chair in a daze with an angry look on his face.

"I feel angry early in the morning. I'm afraid I'll be heartbroken all day long. I'm afraid I haven't had breakfast since I entered the palace so early. It just so happened that my mother-in-law had someone prepare your favorite eight-treasure lotus seed porridge yesterday. I originally planned to do it today. I'll have someone take it out for you, but it doesn't seem to be necessary now." Zhang Shufei walked over with a smile and ordered the palace servants around her to serve breakfast quickly.

 Soon, the food was put on the table.

Even if Concubine Zhang Shu has been promoted to a concubine, in the final analysis she does not have a strong natal family.

 The people in the palace are always looking down upon others and serving food to others. Concubine Zhang Shu has no support from her natal family, and she is not valued and favored by the emperor. In recent years, the food and drink expenses in the palace have been deducted and exploited.

 Even on this table now, there are just a few side dishes.

The eighth prince looked at the eight-treasure lotus seed porridge in front of him without any appetite, "I heard that my father asked the third emperor brother to lead the troops to Huaishang, saying that they would leave today."

 Concubine Zhang Shu paused while serving the dishes, "Your Majesty asked the third prince to go to Huaishang, which can be regarded as asking the third prince to make meritorious deeds."

The Eighth Prince sneered, "It sounds like you have meritorious deeds, but who doesn't know that Huaishang is a piece of fat that the father cherishes so much? Although I don't know why my father attaches so much importance to it, Huaishang was always under the supervision of the prince. Now He just gave it to the Third Emperor Brother. Doesn’t the mother concubine think that the father wants to reuse the Third Emperor Brother?”

"The third prince and the prince have been having constant disputes. Even if the emperor is partial, as long as the prince is safe, it is not that simple to re-establish the throne. You don't need to think too much. Now that the third prince has decided to go to Huaishang, you might as well take advantage of this. It's time to go to the palace in person to see the prince and let your father know that you are a person who values ​​friendship..."

As Zhang Shufei spoke, she even lowered her voice and said, "It's best to let the prince understand which side you are on."

The eighth prince listened to his mother’s words. Not only was he not happy, but he threw the spoon in his hand on the round table angrily. “Does the mother want me to be a dog for the prince?”

Concubine Zhang Shu frowned slightly when she heard this unpleasant adjective, but she still said patiently, "The Third Prince and Concubine Yu seem to be going smoothly, but the Crown Prince and the Queen are not soft persimmons, especially the Crown Princess. An existence that cannot be underestimated. It is always a gamble, but I am more optimistic about the prince."

 Thinking about the scene of her private meeting with the Crown Princess that day, Concubine Zhang Shu was still very frightened.

Looking at the concubines in this palace, they may not be as smart as the crown princess.
