Chapter 343: Feeling sorry for the heir

Zhongcui Palace.

When Pei Yao came over, the imperial physician had just finished checking the third prince's pulse.

Concubine Yang, who was guarding the bedside, saw Pei Yao coming and quickly stood up to salute.

"Chen and concubine see the emperor."

"No need." Pei Yao waved his hand, walked straight to the bed and sat down. He looked at the child first, "How is An'er?"

Concubine Yang stood up holding Si Qi's hand, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, with a look of deep worry on her face.

"The imperial doctor said it was due to the incompatibility of the spleen and stomach, so he just prescribed medicine."

"You're fine. You didn't eat anything wrong, so why is your spleen and stomach not in harmony?" Pei Yao frowned and asked, "How do you take care of the people who serve the third prince? You are right next to the child and you are not watching?"

Just now in Yuzhang Palace, I just heard Fang Yun say some heartfelt words. Now Pei Yao is prejudiced and dissatisfied with Concubine Yang.

So when he spoke, his tone was obviously reproachful.

Standing next to him, the third prince's wet nurse, saw this and hurriedly came forward.

"Your Majesty has misunderstood your Majesty. The Third Prince played wildly in the courtyard this morning and was so hot that he broke out in a sweat. When he entered the room to rest, he saw some tea that had been left to cool on the table, so he drank it by himself. Half a cup of herbal tea was consumed because the servants did not stop it in time. They also thought that half a cup of herbal tea would not be in the way. At that time, the empress went to the dining room to make snacks for the third prince and was not in the palace."

After the wet nurse finished speaking, Concubine Yang immediately bowed and saluted.

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. After all, I failed to take good care of my concubine. The third prince has been frail since he was young, so he should be more careful."

Pei Yao glanced at Concubine Yang before saying in a deep voice.

"The people below are not careful in their work, so I can't blame you. Those who served with the third prince this morning will be fined twenty pennies each."

The punishment is not too severe, it is normal.

At this time, the third prince lying on the couch called him softly.

"Father."

"Huh?" Pei Yao turned around and faced his son with a much gentler expression, "What's wrong with An'er?"

The third prince looked at him timidly, then looked at Concubine Yang, "Father, don't leave."

Pei Yao was a little surprised that his two and a half year old son said this.

His mind moved slightly, and finally he raised his hand to touch the third prince's head and asked softly.

"Why did An'er say that?"

"When my father is gone, my mother and concubine will cry. I don't want my mother and concubine to cry."

The third prince whispered, his eyes already turning slightly red as he spoke.

At this time, Concubine Yang seemed to be touched as well. She blinked her eyes quickly a few times, took a deep breath, and turned away.

Then he turned to Pei Yao.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. I saw An'er vomiting today, so I was frightened, so I asked someone to invite the Emperor. At this time, the Emperor must be having lunch with Concubine Zhao's sister. I am delaying him. The emperor has had his meal."

Hearing this, Pei Yao's eyebrows moved slightly, he turned sideways, sat upright, and was about to speak.

However, the corner of his clothes was grabbed by the little hand of the third prince behind him.

"Father."

The third prince shouted pitifully again.

Turning his head to look at the child, Pei Yao couldn't bear it.

Immediately he whispered, "I guess Concubine Yang hasn't finished her lunch yet, so let's make do with it and eat some together."

After hearing this, Concubine Yang immediately raised her head, with a look of surprise on her face.

Then he hurriedly leaned forward and said, "Yes, I will ask someone to prepare it right now."

Pepper House.

The queen had lunch alone and was sitting drinking digestion tea.

Yan Li came in from outside and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has not left Zhongcui Palace yet, and he is having dinner with Concubine Yang right now."

"The emperor didn't leave?" Minsi couldn't help but ask, "The emperor passed by Yuzhang Palace."

In Yuzhang Palace, Concubine Zhao is so favored.

Tim Mo stood beside the queen and waved his fan, "The emperor feels sorry for his heir. Concubine Yang invited someone, but it was under the guise of the third prince. How about giving the third prince some face."

After listening to the words of the two maids, the queen put down the tea cup. "You and I didn't invite the emperor away from this palace. What are you talking about? Concubine Zhao will take care of it."

"Yes."

The two maids nodded and said no more.

And Fang Yun didn't wait foolishly for Pei Yao.

I have finished my lunch and am pruning a pot of flowers and plants on the porch.

"Why didn't your Majesty say you should go and have a look? If you look at it, it's probably Concubine Yang who is vying for the Emperor's favor." Yan Wei said unhappily.

Fang Yun smiled and said, "What am I going to do? I just said those words to the emperor. The emperor has made his own decision in his heart. If I go, it will be more than enough."

If you say a few words, others will hear you and think you are sincere. But if you continue to repeat it relentlessly, who wouldn't find it annoying, and they will gradually think that you are just gossiping and provoking.

Qingrong sighed, "It's pitiful that the third prince is so young and is being used as a chess piece by his own mother."

"Being in the royal family and being born in the royal family are all involuntarily."

Fang Yun said softly, then turned to look inside the palace, where the fourth prince was sitting on the carpet playing with blocks, with a slight smile on his face.

"But I can't help myself anymore. I have to make my son feel more comfortable in the future."

After hearing this, the two maids understood what she was thinking.

Looking back, Fang Yucai asked again.

"How long have you been taking Concubine Yang's medicine?"

"Back to your Majesty, it's been one year and seven months." Qingrong replied in a low voice.

Fang Yun narrowed his eyes, "This thing will sterilize you if you take it for a long time. Now, I think there may be a chance of getting pregnant."

Yan Wei was puzzled, "She has taken it for so long and it has damaged her body. How can she get pregnant again?"

"So, it all depends on Dr. Zeng's ability." Fang Yue curled his lips, "I feel that the weather is hot and I feel a little uncomfortable. Please ask Dr. Zeng to come and take a look at me."

Qingrong and Yanwei looked at each other and nodded immediately.

On the other side, after having some lunch at Zhongcui Palace, Pei Yao saw that the third prince had fallen asleep, so he returned to Jingqian Palace.

Originally, I stayed for a while just for the sake of the third prince.

Now, for the sake of the Yang family, he has given Yang enough dignity and pampering, so there is no need to think about it anymore.

But with his visit today, Concubine Yang was already very satisfied.

After the third prince woke up in the afternoon, he was hugged and kissed by Concubine Yang.

"Good boy, you performed very well today. In the future, you will keep your father and emperor for your mother and concubine like this, okay?"

It was rare for him to be treated so tenderly by his mother, and the third prince was very happy.

Busy nodded obediently in agreement, and finally said.

"Mother, I want to eat osmanthus candy."

"Okay, tell grandma to get it."

Concubine Yang agreed without thinking.

But the wet nurse on the side quickly said, "Your Majesty, the sweet-scented osmanthus candy is too sweet. The third prince has been suffering from internal heat and phlegm recently, so he shouldn't eat anything too sweet."

After hearing this, the third prince quickly shook Concubine Yang's arm in begging tone.

Concubine Yang lowered her head and glanced at her son in her arms, her eyes flashed, and she immediately gave instructions in a low voice.

"Take it as you are told. Since it's not suitable to eat, just take two less pills."

"Yes."

The wet nurse didn't dare to refute anymore, so she had to go.

At this time, Concubine Yang gently touched the third prince's head and said with a smile.

"In the future, as long as An'er can help her mother and concubine keep her father, An'er can eat as much osmanthus candy as she wants, okay?"

"Okay." The third prince nodded and said cautiously, "Will Concubine accompany An'er to catch butterflies?"

Concubine Yang also nodded without thinking, "As long as your father stays, my mother will naturally accompany you."
