Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 302

I didn't see anyone, where did the prince go?I usually come here with my younger son.

"I was called away by Su Gonggong who is next to my father."

The fourth prince was sitting on a chair eating dim sum, and the dim sum here was the best.

"Let your Aunt Dong pretend to be something for you later, look at your worthless appearance."

Shu Ning is as white as her son, and has never seen him have any other attachments except eating all day long.

"In life, eating is always the first priority. Wouldn't those who didn't eat be starved to death?"

The fourth prince said it as a matter of course, and asked Shuning to stroke his forehead.

After all, you are also a prince, and in front of your nephews and nephews, can you show some face?
While the mother and son were talking, Shu Ning did not forget to entertain Ouyang Mao and the eldest grandson of the emperor. Today Yu'er was picked up by Concubine Qin, but she was not in Changning Palace, otherwise her place would be even more lively now.

"Mother, I heard that you are helping your brother choose the crown princess?"

The fourth prince listened to it when he was about to enter the door first, but couldn't stop his curiosity, so he asked.

"Who did you hear?"

Shuning raised her eyebrows, why didn't she know about this?
"When I was about to enter the door just now, I heard what some maids said."

The fourth prince frowned, and he also realized that something was wrong, there are still people in the palace of the mother and concubine who dare to talk too much?But those few people looked a little strange, they didn't seem to be from the palace of the concubine.

"My mother will handle this matter, so don't worry about it."

Shu Ning hadn't thought about choosing a concubine for the crown prince at all, but in private, there was a decree to Wang and the others, asking them to pay more attention to the noble ladies in Beijing.

"Yes."

The fourth prince knew that his mother and mother were more powerful in the harem, and they controlled all the power in the harem.

After seeing off the fourth prince, Shu Ning asked Hou Lin to investigate, who actually mentioned the matter of choosing a concubine for the prince, and what was his intention?
The next day, the queen heard the news and summoned Shuning to Qifeng Palace.

"What's going on? Why did I hear someone say that you want to choose a concubine for the crown prince?"

When she asked a few days ago, the imperial concubine said she was not in a hurry!

"I'm wondering too! Sister, don't worry about it, I want to see who is trying to kill me."

Shu Ning was leaning on the couch, holding a cheap dog pillow made by the Fourth Prince in her arms. This kid is very concerned about these things, and she also has some pillows such as rabbits and cats.

"ok, I get it."

The queen frowned slightly, really wondering who would spread such rumors.

In fact, the emperor and the queen mother have also heard about it, but they also asked the imperial concubine earlier. The imperial concubine said that she would wait until the crown prince is full, and she will definitely not be in a hurry to choose a concubine for the crown prince at this moment, so it is too coincidental and strange for this rumor to appear. , both of them stood still.

After hearing Shuning's words, Hou Lin led people to investigate the source, starting from the rumors that the fourth prince heard outside Changning Palace that day.

"Those maids are not from Changning Palace, but from Hanzhang Palace, Anqing Palace and Lifang Pavilion."

Hou Lin told Shuning everything he had found.

"Hanzhang Palace, Concubine De. Anqing Palace, Concubine He. Lifang Pavilion, Concubine Qin. It was a good idea for the other party to enroll several high-ranking concubines."

Hearing this, Shu Ning already understood what the other party meant, that she wanted to drag Concubine De and the others into trouble.

"However, the slaves continued to investigate and found that they had contact with a person."

Hou Lin also understood, so he continued to investigate.

"Who?"

Shuning half-closed her eyes and leaned on the couch.

"Chunxi, the court lady next to Bai Baolin."

When Hou Lin found out at this time, he already understood what Bai Baolin meant.

"Ha~ She is really in a hurry!"

It was written on the jade plate that Concubine Qin Gui was not in a hurry, but she was in a hurry first.

"Go back to your mother, that's right."

Bai Baolin would spread rumors, but he was actually asking the way for the second prince.

The second prince is not young anymore, he is one year older than the crown prince, normal people really want to start choosing relatives for their sons.

Shu Ning tapped the table lightly with her fingers, her eyes never opened.He waved his hand to let Hou Lin choose it. It seems that the queen took action to rectify the rumors.

As for the second prince, since he wants to marry a concubine so much, then he will be fulfilled.

Shu Ning went to Tai Chi Palace to explain her intentions, the emperor agreed without even thinking about it, and immediately issued an imperial decree, pointing the second prince to a daughter from a fourth-rank magistrate, and what's more, this magistrate came from a poor family.

"Pa~ Who told her to do this?"

The second prince was about to explode. It was true that he wanted to marry a concubine, but it didn't mean that he wanted to marry the daughter of a fourth-rank official.What is the second concubine and the Yue family who can't help him at all in the court?
The second prince got angry, all the people below knelt down, and no one dared to say anything.The second prince always beat and scolded the people around him, and he couldn't vent his frustration outside, so he used the maids and eunuchs around him to vent his anger.What frightened them the most was that the second prince didn't know what he had learned outside, and when he came back, he actually asked the maids and eunuchs around him to serve him, and sometimes forced the eunuchs to abuse them.

Because the second prince was too cruel and violent, coupled with his threats, no one dared to spread the news for a while.So for the time being, no one knows that the second prince is such an unbearable person in private, even the emperor and the others don't know.After all, the second prince would lock himself in the inner room every time, and let them pack up before going out, and he never left any marks on the other party's body that were particularly conspicuous.

He is not happy now, so he called another court lady and a eunuch to go in. The palace maids and eunuchs whose names were called all turned pale, and walked in with the sympathetic eyes of everyone.

After a while, there was a depressing sound of pain coming from inside, but because the sound was so soft, no one else could hear it except for the maid who was near the door.

"Bai Baolin should be satisfied now, right? Isn't she just wanting the second prince to marry a concubine by doing this?"

Shu Ning picked up a grape that came as a tribute from Tubo, and it tasted better than Da Xia's. This thing was put on ice along the way and rushed to the palace. She and the Queen got a basket, Shu Ning He rewarded several dishes to others, and left the rest to the fourth prince and the crown prince.

"She should be about to be blown up by now."

The prince chuckled, since the daughter of the fourth-rank magistrate, and the other party is about to become a nephew, the emperor's marriage is a good one!
"It's still the same old saying, if you don't die, you won't die. If she dares to drag the prince into the water, I will let her suffer the consequences."

Shu Ning pinched another grape and stuffed it into her mouth, the smile at the corner of her mouth seemed gloating.

"You are right. She really needs to learn some lessons. This time the second prince should blame her."
