Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 485

If it is said that the third princess has the lowest sense of presence among the princesses, then the fifth prince should have the lowest sense of presence among the princes.

The eldest prince is the eldest son, so he can't be ignored. The second prince once had such a powerful adoptive mother, and it won't be forgotten. Needless to say, the third prince who was imprisoned, the fourth and sixth princes are all legitimate sons. No one dares to ignore it.

It seems that the fifth prince is stuck in the middle, which is really inconspicuous.

Even though his adoptive mother Concubine Qi De had a prominent family background, Concubine Qi De was cold and low-key by nature, and she was not favored. The fifth prince was also raised to have a quiet temperament.

As for how quiet it is, one year during the Lantern Festival, the princes went out of the palace to play at the temple fair together. Everyone was crazy about it. After eating in the restaurant, they prepared to have fun and guess lantern riddles.

The fifth prince didn't like crowds, so he proposed to stay in the private room of the hotel and wait for them to come back.

As a result, the others forgot about him after shopping and went back to the palace directly. It wasn't until Concubine Qi De sent someone to ask why the fifth prince hadn't come back, that everyone realized that they had lost him.

That's called an emergency.

The fifth prince was accompanied by only one eunuch and two bodyguards, and if something happened, no one would be able to take care of it.

Ye Yun hurriedly sent someone to look for it, and the prince followed.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper saw that the Fifth Prince was of great value, so he didn't kick him out just because he was going to close, and he still kept offerings in the private room.

At this moment, when he saw the imperial guards coming to pick them up, he realized that these young masters are all the princes of the palace, and he was also shocked.

Before leaving, the prince rewarded the store with a handful of golden melon seeds for taking good care of the fifth prince.

Xu Shi was infected with the dragon spirit, and since then, the business of the restaurant has become even more prosperous.

But nothing happened outside the palace, and when he returned to the palace, Ning Chen was still angry and punished the other princes.

They were not punished severely, so they beat ten hands each, and then copied the books.

The fifth prince came to intercede for the brothers, so he was very embarrassed.

"Father, don't blame the brothers too much. It's because the son's personality is too dull. If he went with the brothers, this kind of thing wouldn't happen."

Ning Chen sighed.

He is also very worried about the temperament of the fifth prince. He has to find a capable first wife in the future, otherwise how can he stand up for the family.

Obviously, after this incident, Concubine Qi De also discovered the child's deficiencies, and she deliberately exercised it when teaching.

Although it is true that he has improved a lot in dealing with people, he has not been able to change his quiet temper since he was a child.

This joy continued until his criteria for choosing a concubine, and in the end he chose a daughter from Concubine Qi De's mother's family.

She is a standard lady, dignified and gentle, with elegant temperament and good appearance.

The Fifth Prince was very satisfied.

After marriage, he and his wife are also considered harmonious.

The two often read books and drink tea together, sitting quietly for an entire afternoon.

The Qi family is really virtuous, because she was pregnant and it was difficult to serve her, so she took the initiative to choose two concubines to enter the mansion.

One of them, Mrs. Lien, is a very lively person.

She is very smart and can speak, with the innocence of a young girl, she made the fifth prince and concubine very happy the first day she entered the mansion.

The fifth prince thought she was noisy, and preferred another quiet Wang family.

Qi was worried that the fifth prince's behavior would hurt Lian's heart, so she persuaded him to go once in a while.

The fifth prince has always respected his first wife, so he naturally gave this face, so he took the time to go there.

Before I thought about it, I saw Lian Shi climbing a tree.

Both of them stared at each other in shock.

Although Lian was flustered, he hurried down to salute.

"My concubine salutes His Highness. I am disrespectful. It's a pity that no one picks these tomatoes. If it's a few days later, I'm afraid they will fall and break."

As he spoke, he took out two ruddy persimmons from the cloth pocket tied at his side.

The fiery red persimmon was held in white and slender hands, which looked very beautiful against the backdrop of the setting sun. The woman's face was also blushing, and her eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings because of anxiety.

"In the future, this kind of thing should be left to the slaves. If you fall carefully, you will hurt your body." The fifth prince said softly.

Seeing that he didn't blame him, Lian breathed a sigh of relief and got busy.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, I will remember it."

The fifth prince nodded, turned around and walked towards the courtyard where Lianshi lived.

After walking two steps, he turned around and took a persimmon from Lian's hand.

In this way, one person took a persimmon and entered the yard one after the other.

Lian Shi experienced the initial embarrassment, but now he has recovered, and enthusiastically introduced the things in his yard to the Fifth Prince.

For example, the wooden hairpin was carved by herself, and the dried flowers on the window sill were dried by her in autumn, and she raised an orange cat named Egg Yolk.

The fifth prince poured a cup of tea and sat there quietly listening.

I found it noisy at first, but then I found it quite interesting.

The main thing is that Lian Shi didn't forget to do what he was doing while thinking about it.

He took the time to refill the tea just right, and silently changed the place of the dessert plate, and pushed the fifth prince's favorite one in front of him.

Since this time, the Fifth Prince has come here often.

Lian Shi was very happy, and told him what he had done these days with great interest.

It was so big that the princess made two new clothes and new accessories for her, and so small that Egg Yolk abducted a daughter-in-law back. It was a civet cat, and she named it Ban Ban.

The fifth prince wanted to say that her naming was too perfunctory, but seeing Lian's smiling happily, he didn't say anything.

Lian Shi's cleverness is not manifested in scheming, but in her ability to observe words and demeanor, which also led to her not knowing when she was harmed after she was favored.

She became pregnant, was drugged into her food, and had a miscarriage.

The fifth prince was furious, but he didn't care about the affairs of the backyard for many years, and he didn't know where to start when he met him for the first time.

At that time, the concubine Qi had just given birth to her eldest daughter and was still in confinement, and she was too tired.

So the Qi family asked the fifth prince to enter the palace to ask Concubine Qi De to help.

The fifth prince followed suit, and Concubine Qi De sent her capable mother to the prince's mansion to investigate the case.

In the end, it was found out that it was the Wang family who entered the mansion with the Lian family who was jealous and attacked him.

The fifth prince, who had been quiet for many years, directly tied up the Wang family and threw him into the Ministry of Punishment, making the yamen handle affairs according to Nanqi's laws.

This move alarmed the palace, and the crown prince who had already ascended the throne was quite surprised.

I didn't expect this younger brother, who was always dull, to be so decisive.

But in the end, he didn't intervene. After all, he didn't do anything wrong. It's just that he didn't look good.

Also after this time, the Fifth Prince's backyard is quite honest, and since then, the Fifth Prince has almost gone to both the main courtyard and Lian's, not to other places.

The first wife Qi is a young couple, gentle and virtuous, it is a plain and warm day, and the concubine Lian is a different kind of demeanor in a quiet life, which makes people unwilling to give up.

Judging by the current standards, the fifth prince should be regarded as a double-minded scumbag, but in that era, his wife and concubines were harmonious and his family was happy.

To say that the biggest setback was that in middle age, Lian's health broke down when she gave birth to her third child, and she died less than a year after giving birth.

Lian's death hit the fifth prince very hard, and he was depressed for two or three years before he let it go.

From then on, the fifth prince only went to the main courtyard.

And the Qi family is indeed virtuous, dedicated to teaching the three children left by the Lian family, and took care of the backyard for the fifth prince all his life.

The fifth prince marries a virtuous wife, and his life will be happy.
