Chapter 838: Your Majesty teases me again
What the Queen Mother and the Duke Dingguo wanted was a chess piece that could keep its cool. But that didn't mean they wanted the other party to not fight back or retaliate.
Then it's not a chess piece, but a waste.
After calming down completely, Wangpin said to Ziyuan: "Forget it, don't think about those bad things."
"Go and ask the nurse to bring the Third Prince over."
Ziyuan bowed, said "yes" and went out.
Soon, the wet nurse brought the third prince over and handed him over to the princess.
The concubine smiled, picked up the third prince, took out a rag doll and shook it in front of him: "Ah Jing, take a look at this, do you like it?"
The third prince didn't say anything. He just took the doll from the princess's hand and started drooling again.
Concubine Wang skillfully took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the Third Prince carefully.
Looking at this scene, the wet nurse couldn't help but smile.
The third prince has a miserable life, but fortunately he now has a mother who truly loves him.
Ziyuan couldn't help but think in his heart that if Liu had been so patient with the Third Prince, perhaps His Majesty would have shown leniency to her because she gave birth to the eldest princess and raised the Third Prince wholeheartedly.
Unfortunately, as the Empress Dowager said, Liu was spoiled by the Duke Dingguo's Mansion since she was a child. Except for the eldest princess, she doesn't take anyone seriously.
After playing for a while, Wangpin picked up the third prince and let him sit on her lap. She said softly, "Ah Jing, you must grow up quickly and make your mother proud! Do you understand?"
It would be better to surpass the fourth prince born to Concubine Chen!
After all, no matter how much favor the women in the harem have, they are nothing but rootless duckweed, and their offspring are their lifelong support.
If the Third Prince is a late bloomer and shows amazing talent when he grows up, leaving the Fourth Prince far behind, will Your Majesty still focus on Concubine Chen?
The third prince didn't understand what the princess said at all and didn't respond to her.
The princess didn't mind and always looked at the third prince with a gentle gaze.
Even if she has her own children in the future, she will treat Ajing as her own!
Compared to the joyful atmosphere in the main hall, the side hall is much quieter.
Yingxiang walked in from outside and whispered, "My lady, I heard during the day that the maids of Zhongcui Palace made a big noise in the Imperial Garden. Your Majesty turned over the sign of Concubine Chen tonight. I guess that Your Majesty might have gone to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers with Concubine Chen!"
What everyone in the harem is most concerned about is the whereabouts of the emperor.
Hearing this, Concubine Chun raised her head and glanced at Yingxiang: "Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and dress up for me."
Yingxiang hesitated: "But... Noble Concubine Chen is enjoying the moonlight with His Majesty tonight. If you rush over and disturb their mood, will you offend Noble Concubine Chen..."
Concubine Chun sneered, "Which woman enters the palace not to compete for favor? If you are competing, how can you avoid offending others?"
"I'm going to offend Concubine Chen anyway, so what should I be afraid of?"
Yingxiang thought about it and it seemed to be true.
If the young lady is timid and does not dare to do anything in the palace because she is afraid of offending others, then His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin will have sent her into the palace in vain.
Yingxiang immediately said, "I understand."
Concubine Chun said, "Go to the box and take out my pink skirt."
Yingxiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lady. I will dress you up beautifully tonight and make His Majesty's eyes light up!"
……
After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Li Changde said mysteriously to Nangong Xuanyu: "Your Majesty, the Queen Consort Chen sent someone to tell you that today's dinner will not be in the Zhongcui Palace, but at the Qianqiu Pavilion in the Imperial Garden."
"After nightfall, she will give you a surprise!"
Nangong Xuanyu's interest was aroused, but he looked reserved. He sat on the dragon chariot and said, "I gave her the Qinghe Liuxian Skirt because I loved her, but I never thought of asking for anything in return. She was so attentive to me."
Seeing that His Majesty was in a good mood today, Li Changde became bolder and asked with a smile: "In that case, I will go to Zhongcui Palace to tell Concubine Chen that there is no need to prepare a surprise?"
Nangong Xuanyu glanced at him and said, "I don't want your head anymore!"
Li Changde's heart sank and he couldn't help feeling a little scared.
Your Majesty’s aura is so scary!
It seems that he should refrain from making such jokes in the future...
In order to avoid making the atmosphere awkward, Li Changde still had a smiling face: "It was my fault, Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"I know that you don't want to surprise Concubine Chen, but you are just happy that she values your gift so much."
Nangong Xuanyu didn't say anything, but the slightly raised corners of his lips revealed his mood.
Li Changde walked beside the dragon sedan chair and raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
No wonder people say that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger...
Soon, the dragon sedan arrived at its destination.
Shen Zhinian was already waiting here. When she saw the emperor's procession, she folded her hands in front of her and bowed: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty!"
Nangong Xuanyu strode forward and personally helped Shen Zhinian up: "No need to be polite."
The moment he saw her, a hint of doubt appeared in the emperor's eyes.
The woman in front of him was wearing a rose-red palace dress. The brocade was shining and colorful, and the skirt was layered, which made her look extremely bright and gorgeous.
She wore a belt of the same color around her waist, on which she wore a mutton-fat white jade pendant with long tassels hanging from it.
Her hair was tied up in a high bun and her hairpins and rings were swaying, she was so beautiful!
Such a gorgeous dress makes Shen Zhinian's already charming features look even more like a lotus emerging from water.
Beauty is beauty, but...
Nangong Xuanyu asked: "Why aren't you wearing the skirt I gave you today? Don't you like it?"
Shen Zhinian winked at him playfully: "How could I not like the treasures in your Majesty's private storehouse? But good steel should be used on the blade."
"Your Majesty, please have your meal first. After dark, I will present you with the surprise I have carefully prepared."
Nangong Xuanyu was in a very good mood. He held Shen Zhinian's hand, walked into Qianqiu Pavilion and sat down: "I will wait and see!"
Eunuchs and palace maids stood by and served food to the two people.
At this time, the sun had not yet completely set, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on Shen Zhinian's charming face, making her look even more rosy-cheeked.
Even though Nangong Xuanyu had seen it many times, he was still amazed at this moment.
Shen Zhinian raised her eyes and looked at him, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, why are you staring at me? Can you be satisfied just by looking at me?"
Nangong Xuanyu smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of the term 'beauty is a feast to the eyes'?"
Shen Zhinian put down the exquisite glass bowl in her hand and said with a slightly red face: "Your Majesty is teasing me again!"
