princess

Chapter 30

Emperor Xuanhe ordered Concubine Lin to copy books behind closed doors for three months, and Concubine Shu and Concubine Ning temporarily helped the Empress Dowager manage the harem. Concubine Xiang contemplated behind closed doors for a year. Chinese etiquette.

Leaving aside the punishment of Concubine Lin Gui, Concubine Jing's punishment is interesting. Generally, those who bestow letters are those who please Emperor Xuanhe, but Concubine Jing was given letters after she clearly made a mistake.

If it is said that Emperor Xuanhe likes her, why would the Empress Dowager teach her palace etiquette again?This is a blatant slap in the face of the Zhu family. The daughter of your family only learns etiquette when she enters the palace. It is conceivable how the family education is, and it will be taught by the empress dowager later. It has to be said that it is a warning to the empress dowager. It seems that other people's punishment has a time limit, and Concubine Jing didn't say when it would end at all.

You must know that during this period, they are not qualified to serve as bed servants. What's the use of a concubine who can't even see the emperor.

And the word jing, Jingjia, jinghao, also has the meaning of stillness and tranquility. Giving the word jing at this time is more like warning the concubine Jing not to do small things again, and the meaning of keeping quiet in the future is in it.

The sixth prince, Xiao Chenglin, is the youngest prince in the palace. He is just at the age of fun. He walks with a sway, and Concubine Ning has a temperament that does not compete for favor. Emperor Xuanhe loves him a little more. Are there any? The reason why the prince and the eldest princess often mentioned this younger brother in front of Emperor Xuanhe is unknown.

The food in Ningzhao Hall is very light, and Emperor Xuanhe felt good after eating some. Xiao Chenglin was full and was being supported by the nanny with his short legs to move around. Concubine Ning was sitting on the couch, tapping walnuts with a small hammer , Peel the walnuts and put them on a small plate aside.

Emperor Xuanhe occasionally took a piece and chewed it slowly in his mouth. It was sun-dried walnut kernels, and it was slightly bitter when eaten with the skin on.

Concubine Ning was not a talkative person. She saw Xiao Chenglin fall, but she didn't punish the nanny. There was a thick blanket on the floor, so it didn't hurt even if she fell, so Xiao Chenglin usually got up after falling and continued to play.

"You are leisurely." Emperor Xuanhe looked at it for a long time before laughing.

I never thought it would be good if they didn't talk, but when they spoke, Xiao Chenglin looked up at Emperor Xuanhe, and then grinned and fluttered towards Emperor Xuanhe.

Then he hugged Emperor Xuanhe's calf violently, "Yeah..."

"Why can't you talk?" Emperor Xuanhe glanced at him, but he didn't pick up Xiao Chenglin or let the nanny take him away, he just asked.

"It's already easy to say." Concubine Ning put down the freshly peeled walnuts in her hand, "It's just that this child has always been lazy."

Emperor Xuanhe shook his head with a smile. He didn't say anything to teach him to study hard, let alone blame him, but acted like a loving father, "It's okay, the emperor can still raise a lazy boy."

Concubine Ning was not disappointed when she heard the words, she responded, "Your Majesty and the Crown Prince will take care of you, so my concubines can rest assured."

Emperor Xuanhe smiled, moved his legs, and Xiao Chenglin, who was holding his legs, swayed, "quack..." laughed out loud, but this laughter stunned Emperor Xuanhe for a moment, and he laughed too stand up.

"By the way, my concubine has something to ask." Concubine Ning frowned slightly, "Thanks to His Majesty's kindness, I was able to help the queen mother manage the harem with Concubine Shu and sister, but Cheng Lin is young, and my concubine... why don't you ask the eldest princess to help you?" A concubine?"

Emperor Xuanhe was obviously moved, but he didn't say anything.

"Eldest princess is wise early, and the empress...Although the maids in the palace can teach the eldest princess etiquette, there are some things that cannot be avoided." Concubine Ning's voice was soft and soft, "It's better to let the eldest princess help the concubine manage the affairs of the harem. Although the concubine is not as good as the previous empress in case, she is willing to give it all to repay the eldest princess for helping the concubine."

Concubine Ning's words showed that she was indeed not contaminated by those powers, but she would never hand over what was sent to her hands. Calling the eldest princess was not only to save herself, but also to pity her. She had a relationship with the eldest princess Well, Emperor Xuanhe has no doubts about this move.

After pondering for a while, looking at Concubine Ning, "That's fine."

Concubine Ning smiled slightly, "The concubine will go to find the eldest princess tomorrow."

"Don't delay Xuanxuan's homework."

"Yes."

Seeing that Emperor Xuanhe agreed, Concubine Ning stopped talking and began to crack walnuts again. The imperial doctor also said that eating this stuff is good for children's health. It looks like a lot. Not much left.

Everyone else said that Empress Huiyi had a good life, and the child she gave birth to was beautiful, not to mention the eldest prince who died early, even the prince and eldest princess were rare and intelligent.

But such a result... If Empress Huiyi was still here, these two children would not have worked so hard. There is no mother who does not love her children.

Looking at Cheng Lin who was lying on the thick blanket with her bulging belly, she never wanted her child to be as good as her, as long as she was happy and safe, she would protect her, even if she died, the crown prince and eldest princess would love her In terms of what he does, he will also treat Cheng Lin preferentially.

Xiao Yuanmin easily got what she wanted, but she took it for granted, and it could be said that she deserved it, so there were not many surprises.

At the same time, Concubine Jing's eyes were swollen from crying behind the empress dowager, "I just feel sorry for the prince and not my mother, that's why..."

"Speak carefully." The Empress Dowager knocked on the table, "What is the identity of the prince, what is your identity, it is your turn to pity the prince?"

"Aunt..." Jingbi murmured with panic all over her face before seeing the empress dowager get angry.

The empress dowager shook her head, "It's because I was too arrogant and indulged you in the past. I will teach a few nuns to teach you well. You should be smarter yourself, and please the emperor as soon as possible, so that he can let you out."

"Aunt." Seeing that the Empress Dowager's face softened, Concubine Jing said coquettishly, "Auntie, please help me again."

"Ai's family is the empress dowager, don't call her wrong in the future." After the empress dowager finished speaking, she waved her hand, "Take her to the Buddhist hall, and first copy a few scriptures to calm down."

Concubine Jing didn't dare to say anything anymore, the empress dowager rubbed the center of her brows, with a tired look on her face, she closed her eyes to hide the resentment, finally waited for Yao Lin to die, she didn't expect to have a daughter who was not born with her deal with.

The prince seems to be a good one now, after all, he is young... After thinking about it carefully, since the eldest princess controls the prince so strictly, let her take care of it, and being a good grandma is enough.

The prince doesn't think much of it now, but when he grows up, he will definitely be bored by the eldest princess who takes too much care of her. At that time... This concubine Jing is not a smart one. If she is smart, why don't her parents send another one in? Woolen cloth?

Concubine Lin Gui was calm, she copied the book quietly, but she didn't have the slightest feeling of being in love with power. Shuanghua personally brewed medicine every day and brought it to Concubine Lin Gui.

After drinking the medicine in one gulp, Concubine Lin Gui frowned and squeezed a candied fruit into her mouth, feeling better. The medicine was brought in by Mother Lin, and she said it was the most useful, but the taste was not very good. A smart one, but his eyelids are shallow."

Shuanghua tidied up the medicine jars. In order to avoid being tampered with, the medicine was boiled in the house, "Why did your mother say that?"

"Concubine Ning thought that I would be released in three months, and the power in the palace would naturally be handed over to me, so I sold it in advance to let the eldest princess assist, and I am afraid that the eldest princess will fight me. Concubine Lin Gui laughed.

"Young lady..." Shuanghua said, "You..."

"Of course I won't pick it up." Concubine Lin Gui touched her belly, "I can tell what is the most important." There was a slight smile on her face.

Concubine Lin Gui suddenly thought of the sixth prince, "It's good luck." After finishing speaking, she didn't want to say any more, and lay back on the couch.

"Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine..." Xiao Qingrong pushed the door in without waiting for anyone to tell her, and covered her nose as soon as she entered the room, "Why is there such a strong smell of medicine, Mother Concubine, are you sick?" There was worry on his face, " I'm going to find my father and emperor to see my mother and concubine."

Concubine Lin Gui waved her hand and did not explain the matter of taking the medicine. Instead, she dragged her daughter to the side of the couch, "Don't bother your father and emperor about such a trivial matter, mother and concubine are fine."

"Mother Concubine, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Qingrong's hands were white and tender, and she touched Concubine Lin's face worriedly, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Concubine Lin Gui didn't want to say more.

Xiao Qingrong immediately thought that the concubine mother was being punished for no reason, and suddenly felt that she understood the reason, and comforted, "Concubine mother, don't be sad."

Concubine Lin Gui smiled lightly, and touched her daughter's face, "My daughter, Concubine Mother only wants you to grow up happily, and you don't have to worry about things outside, Concubine Mother can protect you."

It was fine if Concubine Lin didn't say anything, but Xiao Qingrong became more resentful towards Concubine Jing and the others when she said it, and her mother and concubine were implicated, and even Princess Changping and the crown prince also hated it.

Concubine Xiang knew that she had no future, and when she thought of the result of relying on Concubine Jing, she felt even more pain in her heart. If it wasn't for Concubine Jing being the Empress Dowager's niece and concubine, how could she please Jing Concubine every day.

After almost crying with her beautiful eyes, Concubine Xiang shut herself up and thought about her mistakes honestly, but became peaceful.

Concubine Shu was the happiest among the parties involved, and the Fourth Prince was also full of joy. Concubine Shu patted the Fourth Prince's head, "My son, we must seize this opportunity."

"My son understands." The fourth prince had ambitions in his eyes. He was also the son of his father, so why should the fifth prince be a prince and get his father's full attention, but he could only hide his thoughts and be careful to please others. The disagreement with Xiao Qingrong was also shown by the Fourth Prince on purpose.

After all, a prince with no flaws is too vigilant, and the fourth prince has never paid attention to Xiao Qingrong's level.

"Mother Concubine is not the time to be happy now." The fourth prince reminded, "We should think about how to keep these things we got after three months."

Concubine Shu nodded, her eyes narrowed slightly, "More importantly, there must be no accidents in the palace these few months, I'm afraid Concubine Lin Gui will..."

"Mother Concubine is worried." The fourth prince also thought, "But I didn't expect Concubine Ning to win over Eldest Princess."

"It was my mistake." Concubine Shu gritted her teeth, "This Concubine Ning usually looks silent, but unexpectedly she has a plan. I'm afraid His Majesty will treat her..."

"Mother Concubine, if she is not paying attention, how can the sixth brother be left safely?" The fourth prince sneered.
