EBE Chapter 320: Jealousy, Provoking Concubine Qi
Chapter 320: Jealousy, Provoking Concubine Qi
"Concubine Xuan is too modest. The Sixth Prince was praised for his intelligence by the Emperor himself, and the Third Prince was also scolded by the Emperor himself. Isn't it obvious who is better?"
Seeing how nervous Concubine Xuan was, Concubine Hua became even more concerned about the matter.
It was obvious that the intention was to disgust Concubine Xuan and stir up Concubine Qi's jealousy towards her.
"Empress Hua, the Sixth Prince is still so young. The Emperor only praises him because he is a kind father. His rebuke of the Third Prince is also a fatherly act. If the Emperor did not care about the Third Prince, he would not be so angry at him for not fighting."
When An Lingrong saw her sister being troubled by Concubine Hua, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she thought she had to start her plan as soon as possible.
"Okay, can we talk about the prince's affairs casually? As a noble concubine, you should be more careful with your words and actions."
Seeing this, the Queen interrupted Concubine Hua and spoke in a slightly reprimanding tone.
"There are not many children in the palace now. Everyone should learn from Concubine Wan and Concubine An and get pregnant with a prince as soon as possible."
The Queen changed the subject and pointed out again with a smile that Concubine Wan was pregnant, and as for Concubine An, it was just mentioned in passing.
After all, An Lingrong was not particularly favored by the emperor, and compared with Zhen Huan, who was also pregnant, she seemed less enviable.
"In fact, whether it is a prince or a princess, I like them all the same. It would be even better if I could give birth to a child as well-behaved as Princess Wen Yi."
Zhen Huan looked at Concubine Jing and gave her a kind smile, while at the same time she resolved the Queen's provocation with her words.
Now that Concubine Jing has raised Wen Yi for such a long time, she has long regarded Wen Yi as her own child. She is naturally very happy about the praise from others.
"Concubine Qi, look at this Wanpin. She knows that Princess Wenyi is well-behaved and sensible. She would rather give birth to a well-behaved and sensible princess than a stupid prince."
Naturally, Concubine Hua would not miss this good opportunity, and she continued to retort what Zhen Huan said.
Although the Third Prince is now her child, she doesn't care about him at all. What's more, the Third Prince is so old now that it's impossible to tame him no matter how hard she tries.
She just wanted to use this incident to disgust Concubine Qi, so she naturally didn't care about the life or death of the Third Prince.
"Madam Concubine Qi, that is not what I meant."
Zhen Huan did not want to make enemies with Concubine Qi, so upon hearing this, she quickly explained to Concubine Qi who was sitting next to her.
But Concubine Qi was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Seeing Zhen Huan showing weakness, she would naturally not miss this opportunity. She directly vented her anger at being bullied by Concubine Hua on Zhen Huan.
"That's not what you meant. Then I want to ask you what you meant."
"Just because you are pregnant with the emperor's child, you dare to slander my Third Prince. You really are taking advantage of me and acting like a spoiled brat."
Zhen Huan did not expect Concubine Qi to be like this, which made her stunned.
Fu Cha Zhixi was not surprised to see this. People like Concubine Qi naturally like to pick on the weak, so you can't be nice to her, otherwise she will regard your kindness as fear of her and bully you even more.
"Your Highness, Concubine Qi's words are a bit too harsh. Wanpin only said that she likes the princess more. When did she ever slander the Third Prince?"
"Could it be that Concubine Qi is looking for trouble with Concubine Wan because she can't win the argument with others?"
Now that Shen Meizhuang has followed the Empress Dowager, she doesn't care too much about the Emperor's favor. When the Emperor comes, she will serve him well. If he doesn't come, she won't look forward to the Emperor coming.
So now she has reached the point where she is strong without desires. She can talk back to anyone. She dares to talk back to Concubine Hua, let alone Concubine Qi.
Besides, Huan'er was concerned about offending others because she was pregnant, but she was not afraid of these.
"Huipin you!"
Concubine Qi's fig leaf was exposed by Shen Meizhuang's words. She was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at Shen Meizhuang for a long time and couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
The Queen was also stunned for a moment. She didn't know why Concubine Qi suddenly turned the gun around and fired at Concubine Wan.
You have to know that Concubine Hua has not been eliminated yet, and Concubine Wan and Shen Meizhuang are also on their side. She naturally couldn't just watch the two sides quarrel, so she quickly spoke up.
"Princess Qi, please talk less."
Afterwards, the Queen talked to Concubine Qi alone about what happened today, and at the same time provoked Concubine Qi's hatred towards Zhen Huan and guided her to attack Zhen Huan's child.
Of course, the Queen naturally wanted Concubine Qi to kill two birds with one stone, and it would be best if she could kill the Sixth Prince at the same time as taking action against Zhen Huan.
As for the baby in An Lingrong's belly, she had other plans.
After all, as the queen mother, she still has to have a child of her own. Originally, she planned to get the Third Prince, but now the Third Prince is involved with Concubine Hua, which is enough to prove that the Emperor and the Queen Mother have given up on the Third Prince and directly kicked him out of the choice of successor.
Although Concubine Qi did not understand this truth, she knew it very clearly.
When An Lingrong gives birth, she will take away the mother and keep the child. Then she can easily hold the child and raise him.
In this way, the child will definitely be of the same mind as her, and she can save a lot of trouble.
Concubine Qi simply believed that although the Third Prince was now nominally given to Concubine Hua, the jade book had not been changed, and the Emperor and the Queen Mother would never really give an adult prince to the Nian family. They were just appeasing them verbally.
So Concubine Qi was only angry at the time, but later she didn't think it was a big deal. After all, her son could see her whenever he wanted, and it was no different from before.
She didn't even realize the impact of this incident on the Third Prince. She simply thought that her Third Prince was the only prince who grew up under the Emperor, and that the throne would definitely belong to the Third Prince in the future.
So after listening to the Queen's instigation and guidance, she naturally came up with the idea of paving the way for the Third Prince.
But when Concubine Qi thought of Concubine Xuan's cold face and the Fucha family standing behind her, she did not cowardly choose to attack Zhen Huan.
At the Queen's suggestion, Chun Changzai deliberately met Concubine Qi and told her that oleander juice and pollen were poisonous.
At the same time, he also mentioned that Zhen Huan was pregnant and should not touch oleander as it would damage the fetal heart.
Seeing the deep thought in Concubine Qi's eyes, Chun Changzai smiled with satisfaction.
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at the sky outside and said with emotion.
"It's almost summer now, and little Fuzhen's birthday is coming up in July. Time flies."
"Yes, sister."
"We have been in the palace for such a long time."
An Lingrong also agreed with a smile.
"Looking at Noble Nian today reminded me of how you looked when we first entered the palace. You look much better now, and you look better too."
Fu Cha Zhixi smiled and teased An Lingrong, who had obviously changed a lot.
(I just remembered that I forgot to announce Ling Rong's pregnancy when I wrote this, so chapters 307 and 308 have been revised. I kneel down to apologize_(:3」∠))
