te in silence, their hearts not settled but hanging in mid-air, uncertain of what lay ahead.Jia Yin was held in her mother's arms, taking small bites of rice porridge. Because it was seasoned with min...The little eunuch was not afraid, but instead giggled and whispered a few words in Feng Gonggong's ear.
Feng Gonggong heard this and frowned, unable to help but ask, "Is what you said true Have you exaggerated"
"Oh my, Eunuch Feng, how dare I This concerns our Prince, I couldn't possibly lie about it!" The little eunuch cried out in distress, causing Eunuch Feng to glare at him. Then, he grabbed the food box and walked towards the inner room.
The bottom of the lunch box was covered with ice, and water dripped as it was carried. However, when it was opened inside the pavilion, a blast of cold air rushed out, making everyone take a second look.
The prince was drinking tea when he saw this, so he put down his teacup and asked, "You've been gone for so long, did something happen"
Master Fong quickly took out the snacks from the food box, and finally a pot of emerald green melon juice with ice chips.
He smiled and replied, "Your Highness is indeed wise. The eunuch who went out of the palace did encounter a bit of trouble."
"This kid took a bribe from a little maidservant, and had her go to the jewelry store to pick up some things. Coincidentally, he witnessed a commotion."
It is said that County Princess Kangle and her sister-in-law were also buying jewelry at the jewelry shop. As a result, they sat in the next private room to Miss Chen from the Ministry of Officials' household. Somehow, Miss Chen quarreled with the County Princess.
Miss Chen was impolite, saying that when she became the Crown Princess, she would have the County Princess kowtow to her every day in the palace!
The Crown Prince raised his cup of sour plum soup in a single gulp and sneered, "Did she really say that"
"It shouldn't be wrong, the little eunuch wouldn't dare to deceive me. Besides, there were quite a few guests present at the time, so it couldn't be faked." Feng Gonggong loved Kang Le County Princess most. At this moment, he couldn't help but speak up for the princess.
Miss Chen is simply... Oh my, the Princess is such a good person, even the Princess herself says she is intelligent and kind, wishing to spend every day with her. But Miss Chen keeps targeting the Princess!
No wonder the county princess had to leave the palace, otherwise, who knows how she would be manipulated by someone like Miss Chen!
The old slave thinks of the princess and feels sorry for her. You see, when the princess was in the palace, she would have people make iced treats and cold drinks every day. There was no need to send someone out to buy them.
The crown prince lowered his eyelids and sipped the jade-green melon juice slowly, without a word.
At this time, the emperor had finished reading the memorials and also came over to enjoy the cool.
The Crown Prince personally poured him a glass of jade-green melon juice and picked up a piece of sweet bean paste chilled cake.
The Emperor enjoyed his son's filial piety, pulled him down to sit beside him, took a sip of the jade-colored melon juice, and praised, “This jade-colored melon juice doesn't taste like it's from the Imperial Kitchen. Did you buy it from outside”
The Crown Prince smiled and said, “Indeed, Father. The eunuch went to Baoyun Pavilion and brought back two jars in total. One jar was sent to Zhilan Palace for the third sister.”
"As your son, I made the decision not to serve this because it's too cold and could harm the stomach. But thankfully, Your Majesty still got to enjoy it."
The Emperor laughed heartily, his expression brimming with satisfaction.
"Well then, it's good to see you two siblings getting along so well. This emperor father of yours doesn't mind not having this jade melon juice."
The prince, after exchanging a few pleasantries with the Emperor, got straight to the point. "Father," he said, "on the list of candidates, there is one person I would like to remove."
The emperor was stunned for a moment before he understood which list it was.
Then he asked, "Which one do you want to remove Which one particularly displeases you"
The prince nodded and replied, “The eldest daughter of Minister Chen from the Ministry of Officials, is the same one who made a scene at the Empress Dowager’s summer retreat last time, but ended up being slapped by the Third Princess and the county princesses.”
"It's said that she declared today outside the palace walls that once she becomes the crown princess, she will demand Princess Three and Lady Jun to kowtow and apologize to her every day."
"Presumptuous!" The Emperor glared and thundered, "Who gave this lowly magistrate's daughter the audacity to speak such insolence!
"Don't even say she's a crown princess, even if she went through the selection process, she's just a concubine at best, not even a side consort!"
The crown prince nodded, his face also full of displeasure.
"Such a temperament, even if this son can bear it. But the princess is a straightforward person! If she truly bullies you in front of others, the princess might think that this brother of hers instigated it behind the scenes. That would ruin our sibling relationship!"
The prince's words struck a nerve with the emperor. He had competed with his brothers for the throne since childhood, engaging in a deadly struggle where there was no room for brotherhood.
Now that he is a father, with only a few children, the throne has not become a source of hatred between them.
Especially these days, seeing that the Crown Prince has any delicious food or fun things, he is willing to send a portion to Zhi Lan Palace. He is truly exceptionally happy.
One day he left, and it was finally safe.
Unexpectedly, with a moment of inattention, a dead girl dared to be so arrogant!
"Order the Imperial Censor, Chen Shilang, to replace his daughter with another for the election. If he dares to let his uncultured daughter speak nonsense outside again, he will no longer be a shilang! He should stay home and teach his daughters!" Yi Tongguan quickly replied and personally led people to the yamen to find Chen Shilang.
The crown prince lowered his head, took a sip of the jade-colored melon juice, and concealed the sneer in his eyes.
The emperor, his heart is set on power above all else.
Today, this is only to allow the Chen family to change a daughter, rather than exclude the Chen family entirely.
It's just that he can't bear to let go of the Chen family's power...
Feng Gong stood outside the pavilion, humbly lowering his head. His heart was already giving the crown prince ten thousand likes.
As expected of the prince, he managed to bring the Third Princess into this in just a few words. Not only did he avenge the county princess, but he also removed a troublemaker from the palace!
Without speaking of how things were in the palace, let's just say that at Chen Shilang's residence, Miss Chen was hugging her mother, wiping tears and acting coquettishly while stamping her feet.
"Oh, Mother, you must make a decision for your daughter! That so-called Kang Le County Princess is simply too much! "
"Last time at the summer retreat, she slapped her daughter, and the daughter was ridiculed by others for days. It's really unbearable to live like this. Now that she's finally going into the palace to be selected as a concubine, she bullies me again in front of me!"
"What kind of noblewoman am I Even a peasant can just beat me up and bully me around! Waaah, I'd rather be dead!"
Mrs. Chen gave birth to a son and a daughter. When her son was six years old, he moved to the front yard to be raised by his father. She didn't interfere and only saw him once a day at most.
Occasionally, when studies get busy, it's normal not to see each other for a few days.
Only this youngest daughter, born after her, has always been by her side. Though raised a little spoiled and a bit foolish, she is still her own flesh and blood, deserving of extra love.
At this moment, the little girl was crying so pitifully. Of course, her mother couldn't bear to see it, so she hugged her and comforted her, "Alright, alright, don't cry anymore. Tell your mother what happened"
Miss Chen gave her cousin a wink. Her cousin quickly took over the conversation.
On the way, the two had already discussed everything thoroughly inside the carriage.
The fault, of course, lies with Princess Kang Le. They are the innocent party who has been wronged.
So, my little cousin embellished the story, and things took a turn. The County Princess Kang Le intentionally provoked them, trying to snatch the jewelry they both desired. When she failed, she publicly humiliated them instead.ingredients. You put on an apron." Jia Huan didn't stop him and then went back to the kitchen.Jia Yin settled Bao Zhu in a private room and ordered more fried tobacco. When the servants went to the Ji...
