Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 139 Persuasion
Liuli frowned and endured it again and again, but she still couldn't hold back, and persuaded: "The Empress, it's somewhat inappropriate to ask the Empress An to do this, and I ask the Empress to think twice."

The queen ignored Liuli, waved her hand at Fei Cui, and said, "Okay, you go, hurry up."

"Yes, the Queen Mother."

Fei Cui responded, gave Liu Li a sneering and triumphant look, and left the prince's bedroom with a shake of her head.

In Funing Palace, Concubine An had just finished copying a passage of scriptures, when she heard Yang Liu, her personal assistant, report that the jadeite from Fengyi Palace had arrived, she paused when she was about to put down the pen, and the wet ink dripped onto the pen tip. On the scriptures she just copied.

An Pin looked at the stained scripture, shook her head, put down her pen and said regretfully: "A good scripture has been destroyed, throw it away, I'll go see Miss Jade."

"Yes, ma'am." Yang Liu answered with her head lowered, stepped forward to put away the ink-stained scripture, and took it outside to dispose of it.

An Concubine came to the main hall, smiled softly at Fei Cui, and said, "Why does Miss Fei Cui have time to come to my Funing Palace today?"

Jade told Anpin about her intentions.

After hearing this, An Bin said worriedly: "How could this happen? Your Highness the Crown Prince will be fine, right?"

Fei Cui shook her head and said: "This slave girl can't say well now, so I have to ask Mrs. An to give it a try."

Concubine An nodded and said: "Miss Jade, don't worry, I'll go to the small kitchen to make pastries, and deliver them to Fengyi Palace in person."

Seeing that Concubine An agreed, Fei Cui said with a smile: "Then it will be hard work for Concubine An, and the servants will go back to wait for Concubine An."

"Miss Emerald, walk slowly."

After Fei Cui left, An Concubine sat on the chair without moving for a long time, Yang Liu couldn't help calling An Concubine, "Your Majesty?"

"It's okay." Concubine An replied, stood up and said, "Let's go, follow me to make cakes for His Highness the Crown Prince."

Yang Liu followed behind Concubine An, and asked puzzledly: "Madam, do you really want to help His Royal Highness make cakes? It is the Empress Dowager who is doing what His Royal Highness is doing now, so why should Madam help her?"

Wouldn't it be just right if His Royal Highness the Prince would be completely abolished from now on?
An Bin shook her head and said, "It's too early."

When Yang Liu heard this, he stopped talking.

Concubine An made four cakes that the prince liked, then put all the hot cakes into a carved mahogany food box, and took the food box to Fengyi Palace in person.

When the queen heard the report from the palace maid that Concubine An had brought the cakes, she hurriedly asked Concubine An to come in, and said to Concubine An bluntly: "Take out the cakes that are ready, and try to persuade the prince. "

Concubine An bowed respectfully to the queen, and said: "Yes, empress, my concubine takes orders."

Anpin opened the food box, and took out a plate of chestnut cakes from the food box, and a sweet smell wafted from the steaming chestnut cakes.

Concubine An walked to the prince's bed with a chestnut cake, took out a piece of chestnut cake, shook it under the prince's nose, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I made your favorite chestnut cake, do you smell it? fragrant?"

"In addition to chestnut cakes, I also made hazelnut cakes, jujube yam cakes and almond cakes. Wouldn't His Royal Highness come up and try them?"

Seeing that the crown prince still didn't respond, Concubine An was not in a hurry, but continued: "Your Highness, the empress, me, and the emperor are all very worried, don't you have the heart to look at the empress, do we worry for you? "

"I know that His Royal Highness is the most filial and sensible person. He must be reluctant to let the empress worry about us and those delicious pastries, right?"

"I promise, as long as His Royal Highness recovers, I will make any cakes for His Royal Highness in the future."

Concubine An was not impatient at all and talked for a long time in front of the prince's bed. Afterwards, the queen felt that there was no hope, and said to Concubine An: "Forget it, I will think of other ways."

Concubine An did not give up and said: "It's okay, the empress first think of other ways, and the concubine will try again."

The queen glanced at Anpin and said, "Then you can try again."

Concubine An nodded, and continued to speak softly to the prince, until Concubine An's voice became hoarse, and the prince who was lying on the bed finally had a little reaction.

His eyeballs turned, and he looked at Concubine An, who was at the side, and said in a hoarse voice, "Miss Concubine An, I want to eat chestnut cake."

Concubine An replied with joy on her face: "Oh, yes, eat."

Seeing that the crown prince finally reacted, the queen stepped forward and pushed An Bin away, and said excitedly: "Cong'er, you finally reacted, you are really anxious for your mother, you can't do this again next time, do you understand?"

The prince looked at the queen, but did not respond.

Seeing this, the queen's expression turned cold a little bit.

Concubine An on the side quickly said: "Empress Empress, His Highness the Crown Prince has not eaten or drank for such a long time, he must be hungry and thirsty, please give His Highness the Crown Prince some water first."

After speaking, Concubine An handed the poured water to the queen, and said to the prince: "Your highness, your voice is hoarse, drink some water to moisten your throat first, and then I will give you chestnut cake."

His Royal Highness looked at Concubine An, nodded, and did not refuse the warm water that the Queen fed him.

The queen looked a little better now.

Concubine An has been staying in His Royal Highness's bedroom, watched His Highness drink water, ate a few bites of pastries, and persuaded His Highness to eat some Yikehua porridge, and waited for the imperial doctor to see that His Highness was fine. Then he left the bedroom of His Highness the Prince.

After An Bin left, the queen wanted to talk to the prince again, but no matter what she said the prince would not say a word.

Seeing the prince's non-violent non-cooperation, the queen was furious.

"What are you going to do? I am your queen mother, what is your attitude towards me? What am I sorry for you? How many things I have done for you these years, but now I have such an attitude like yours. You really chill me Now, you are closer to an outsider, Anpin, than to my mother, do you know who is the one who gave birth to you and raised you?"

The crown prince waited for the queen to finish speaking expressionlessly, and then said calmly: "If it is possible, I would like to hope that the concubine An is the one who gave birth to me and raised me."

"You..." The Queen's hands trembled angrily, "You rebellious son!"

Liuli glanced at Fei Cui, intending to ask Fei Cui to persuade her, but Fei Cui shrank aside and pretended not to see it.

Liuli had no choice but to bite the bullet and persuade: "Queen Empress, please calm down, His Highness the Crown Prince is sick and has not yet recovered, and he just talked nonsense in a moment of confusion. He must be respecting you, Empress Empress, if it wasn't for Empress Empress How can you, His Royal Highness, have the status you have today?"
