EBE Chapter 233: His Mouth Became More Teasing
Chapter 233: His Mouth Became More Teasing
Hua Fei had no experience in raising a child from childhood, and did not know much about how to take care of a child's young spleen and stomach, but she never agreed with the principle of "raising a child with hunger".
There is only one thing: if you don’t eat enough, how can you have the energy to grow up well?
Therefore, ever since Linglong came into Hua Fei's life, she never restricted Linglong's food and drink, unless this girl had a picky appetite.
As for Concubine Xin, it goes without saying that since she has a low status, she doesn't have much good food to eat. If she comes across something good, she will naturally not let Linglong go hungry.
But Concubine Hua overlooked that the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince also grew up hungry.
It was not easy for Concubine Qi to feel that the Third Prince had grown taller even though he had been hungry since childhood.
As for Concubine Jing and Shen Meizhuang, they loved their child even more. They felt that feeding him four meals a day was not enough, let alone feeding him hungry.
But Hua Fei also felt that this was too much, and it was better to be moderate in everything.
So after Linglong's reminder, Concubine Hua decided to let Linglong take some snacks with her when she goes to school.
Even though the child was not her own, she couldn't bear to see him/her go hungry.
How painful it is to not have enough to eat every meal.
When Xin Changzai saw that Hua Fei said that she had cut off her relationship with the Fourth Prince, but then asked Linglong to take some snacks to school, Xin Changzai felt that Hua Fei was really hard on the outside but soft on the inside, unlike the Queen who was a snake in words and an expert at stabbing people in the back.
In Yikun Palace, Concubine Xin and Linglong stayed to have dinner with Concubine Hua, and then returned to the palace happily.
Concubine Qi and An Lingrong, who were standing in the main hall of Jingren Palace, stood there blankly for the entire afternoon without even seeing the Queen.
Just when Concubine Qi and An Lingrong were feeling dizzy from hunger, Jianqiu came out and said:
"Your Highness has rested for an entire afternoon, but her headache still shows no signs of improvement. Your Highness Qi Fei and Lady An please go back. I will call you both to come and talk to me next time Your Highness is better."
After standing for an entire afternoon, Concubine Qi was already exhausted. When she heard the message from Jianqiu, she couldn't hold on for a moment and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, An Lingrong was quick to support Concubine Qi.
Even if Concubine Qi was stupid, she now understood that the Queen was dissatisfied with her. The Queen had never treated her like this before.
He was made to stand for an entire afternoon and wasn't even given a sip of tea.
But Concubine Qi didn't understand what had happened to make the Queen unhappy since she was usually honest and well-behaved.
When An Lingrong first arrived at Jingren Palace, she was also feeling nervous.
But after standing here for a whole afternoon, the Queen didn't even show up, so she figured out what the Queen wanted to do today.
The queen was merely testing the two of them, the kind of crushing and control that would erode their self-esteem.
This was a silent hint that she was the queen and the two of them were just fish that she could slaughter at will.
Thinking that she had interfered with the Queen's attempt to abort Noble Lady Fucha's fetus, the Queen doubted her own surrender. In addition, she heard that the Queen Mother had taught the Queen a lesson a few days ago. The Queen had no place to vent her anger and could only pick on the weak.
As for Concubine Qi, An Lingrong guessed that perhaps she had been too close to Concubine Hua recently, which made the Queen unhappy.
However, she could tell from the last time she was caught by Concubine Qi to play mahjong together that although Concubine Qi was harsh in words, she was actually a simple-minded person.
She and Concubine Hua had been at odds for many years, and neither of them gave in at the card table. It was later when Concubine Hua lost power in the harem because of Ling Xiang's betrayal that Concubine Qi unconsciously approached Concubine Hua.
In addition to compassion, I think it is also because of the shining personal charm of Concubine Hua.
Compared to the Empress who made a fuss about giving a little bit of Longjing tea to the Third Prince, Concubine Hua was indeed much more generous.
Concubine Hua also had no children, so naturally she had no deep hatred with Concubine Qi.
Concubine Qi almost fainted, but Jianqiu didn't show any concern. She just bowed to both of them and went into the inner hall.
As a servant, I always act according to my master's instructions.
Jianqiu's attitude made An Lingrong more certain that her guess was correct.
The queen wanted to wear down their character and make them submit, not to destroy them.
As long as they are still of value to us, we can naturally get by.
An Lingrong helped Concubine Qi out of the main hall of Jingren Palace. Cuiguo hurried forward and took her master from An Lingrong.
"Thank you, Miss An, for your care. Our queen has been standing in Jingren Palace for three consecutive days and is really exhausted."
An Lingrong was surprised that Concubine Qi had been standing there for three days.
Sister Qi Fei was really good-tempered. She even stood there for three days without trying to find a way to calm the Queen down.
What is this? Isn't this just blind loyalty?
If it were An Lingrong, she would definitely find a way.
How much time would be wasted standing in Jingren Palace every day as punishment?
With the previous experience of Concubine Qi as a lesson, An Lingrong started to think of a solution on the way back to Yanxi Palace.
After returning to the Yanxi Palace, An Lingrong asked Baoque to help her change her clothes and asked Baojuan to go to the imperial kitchen to get some exquisite pastries.
When An Lingrong finished dressing up, Baojuan just came back from the imperial kitchen.
Baojuan took a plate of lotus cake and crystal hawthorn cake from the imperial kitchen.
Having been accustomed to the cakes fed to her by Concubine Hua, An Lingrong really looked down upon the appearance of this hibiscus cake.
And that plate of crystal hawthorn cake was really disgraceful compared to Concubine Qi's.
"My lady, are you hungry? Do you want something to fill your stomach?" Ever since An Lingrong asked Wei Lin to take Baojuan's pulse and diagnose her, Baojuan has become more sincere towards An Lingrong.
Because the imperial physician came to see Baojuan, her reputation among the palace maids increased greatly. Everyone envied her master for being kind and loving to his servants.
Normally, when the palace maids and servants fell ill, they would either grit their teeth and endure it themselves, or spend a lot of their own money to go to the Imperial Hospital for treatment.
That kind of boiled medicine was a luxury for the servants like them, and they could only take pills to make up for it on weekdays.
Baojuan only had a mouth sore, so her master specially invited an imperial physician to help her, and her sisters in the same room personally made medicine for her. She was really blessed.
"No need, I'm not hungry, let's go to the Yangxin Palace."
An Lingrong has become more picky recently, and she doesn't seem to have much appetite for such snacks, so she'd better leave them for the emperor.
An Lingrong walked gracefully to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. Xiao Xiazi saw her from a distance at the door and hurried over to greet her.
Although this Concubine An seems to be quiet, every time she is favored by the emperor, she gives herself a lot of rewards!
"Eunuch Xia, is the Emperor in there?" An Lingrong had just changed into a light-colored dress and put on some fresh makeup. Now she looked like a rosy-faced peach blossom in the evening glow, simple and elegant yet with a gentle glow.
"Oh, Master An, you came at a great time. The Emperor just finished reviewing the memorials and is looking forward to listening to some music to relieve his fatigue~"
