This Jinyiwei is obviously super strong but draws too much

Chapter 995 Concubine Zhao
Gift-giving is never a one-person affair. Only when the person you are giving the gift to gives feedback, whether positive or negative, can the matter truly come to an end.

So before so many people gave gifts to Mr. Lu, it was not considered a gift, it was just a group of stupid and rich guys throwing things into a bottomless pit.

But this time, the exchanges between Mr. Lu and the fourth prince shocked the adults in the capital.

On the one hand, they never expected that the simple-minded Fourth Prince would actually be able to impress the inexperienced Mr. Lu.

On the other hand, the adults were shocked that Lu Hanjiang was blatantly suspected of "taking sides." Although after seeing the target he chose, most of them thought it was a strategy to divert trouble.

I just can't stand it. If it is really that one in [-] possibility, it will really catch everyone off guard.

However, some people were shocked, some didn't believe it, and some made malicious speculations, but there was one person who really broke through, and that was His Highness the Sixth Prince.

When he first heard that Lu Hanjiang let Wen Jinzhi go because of the fourth prince's face, he thought it was the other party who did it deliberately, just to disturb the water in the capital. But it was like this the first time, so what about the second time?
The Sixth Prince did not have the calm Qi-nurturing skills of the elders in the capital. In fact, sitting in his position, it was really difficult to calm down and judge anything.

As the second to last among the princes, his father didn't pay much attention to him, and his mother's family was not prominent. After years of hard work, he only gained a reputation as a generous and courteous corporal in the capital. Other than that, he had nothing.

As long as the other brothers made no mistakes, the sixth prince was almost insulated from that position, so when the fourth prince and the seventh prince were fighting each other, he was the happiest person.

But now, not only did the fourth prince show signs of bottoming out, but what was even more detestable was that this great opportunity came to his door specially. How could he not be angry about it?

So after the sixth prince smashed a bunch of porcelain, he immediately called his staff and began urgent discussions on countermeasures.

This is a very stupid chess move. When major events happen in the capital, it is often the time when the government's spies move around most frequently. His Highness the Sixth Prince's actions are tantamount to clearly exposing his suspicion to everyone.

In a sense, this time the Sixth Prince did let everyone see himself in the corner, showing his face, but unfortunately it was not the kind of appearance he hoped for.

After seeing the figure of the sixth prince in the Jin Yiwei's report, Lu Hanjiang was also speechless. He thought who would instigate the fourth prince to come forward. He originally wanted to catch a big fish, but now he was really disappointed.

And just when the situation in Beijing was changing, something not small happened in the palace.

On this day, Princess Yongle, accompanied by palace attendants, was admiring flowers in Concubine Meng's palace. Suddenly she saw a large group of people coming from a distance.

Only when the other party got closer did Yongle see clearly that it was Concubine Zhao, the mother-in-law of the fourth prince.

"I've met Imperial Concubine Zhao." Yongle bowed first with the support of the palace servants.

"Well, princess." Concubine Zhao returned the gift with a smile. She was bright and beautiful, and even though she was old, she still looked noble and as radiant as before.

It is strange to say that although the fourth prince is a well-known straightforward person among the princes, Concubine Zhao has an exquisite heart. Even before she entered the palace, her talents and intelligence had already made her famous in the capital.

It is really hard for people to believe that such a smart mother gave birth to such a simple and plain son. Therefore, for many years, there have been many people who suspected that the fourth prince was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

"How are you?" Concubine Zhao affectionately took Yongle's hand and asked.

Yongle replied obediently: "Thank you, Imperial Concubine Zhao, for your concern. The imperial doctor just checked the pulse this morning and said that the fetus is stable, so there is no need to worry."

"That's good," Concubine Zhao patted Yongle's hand gently and said warmly: "This is the princess's first child, so you must not be careless. It will be good for you and Mr. Lu to give birth to your legitimate son as soon as possible. Look back. I will ask someone to send you some food for the baby."

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine Zhao." Yongle smiled, his eyes curved like willow leaves, which was very flattering.Concubine Zhao smiled, and then asked: "Is your sister, Concubine, here?"

"The mother-in-law is in the palace." Yongle replied.

"Yes," Concubine Zhao nodded, and then said, "Princess, rest a while, I will go find my sister, the concubine."

With that said, Concubine Zhao led people into the imperial concubine's palace. At this moment, Concubine Meng was talking to Axiu, and the focus of the conversation was naturally around Yongle.

Concubine Zhao came uninvited, which surprised the two of them. Axiu's eyes flashed with surprise, but she immediately stood up and retreated behind Concubine Meng.

"Sister, she looks really good today." Concubine Zhao smiled and saluted.

"Sister, get up quickly."

Concubine Meng raised her hand to signal the other party to stand up, and at the same time asked him to sit down. When the palace servants brought tea, she curiously asked: "What's the matter with my sister's visit today?"

"It is true that I have something to trouble my sister," Concubine Zhao sipped her tea, then sighed, "I'm here for the fourth child."

"Fourth Highness?"

Concubine Meng turned around and looked at Axiu in surprise. The latter frowned and was speechless, so she asked, "Did something happen to His Highness the Fourth?"

"Not yet, but if this continues, I'm afraid it will be soon."

Concubine Zhao's tone was a little tired. She held her forehead and sighed: "This child has never been able to carry things clearly. He has great ambitions in his heart, but he always doesn't understand what it will take to achieve this. He has a long body but not a head. He's so stupid, I'm really worried about him."

Concubine Meng said with a smile: "It's not a bad thing that His Highness is honest. He has a pure heart. Even if he does something wrong, I don't think your Majesty will be serious with him."

"Cough." Axiu coughed lightly and reached out to poke Concubine Meng on the back, signaling her to stop talking.

When a mother-in-law calls her son stupid, that is self-effacing. If you agree with it here, it is quite disrespectful.

Sure enough, Concubine Zhao's expression immediately became a bit weird, but she didn't care about it. After staying together in the palace for many years, she also understood that Concubine Meng had always been straightforward, no more so than her stupid son. How much stronger.

"The attraction of that position is certainly irresistible, but I also know that there is no hope for the fourth child."

Concubine Zhao straightened her expression and said seriously: "That's why I came to beg my sister today. I hope that my sister will give him a way to go."

Concubine Meng was astonished: "My sister is right."

Axiu understood the meaning of the other party's words and said softly: "What Concubine Zhao meant is that there is something involved between the Fourth Highness and Jin Yiwei?"

Concubine Zhao nodded towards Axiu: "Miss Axiu is a sensible person. The fourth child is really not enough for Mr. Lu, so I have to make this trip for him. Today's invitation is a debt owed by my Yunzhong Chen family." You all deserve a favor.”
