As June begins, the weather is getting hotter day by day.
"Mother, I'm back from school! I want to eat braised fish at noon today. Hey, Queen Rong, you're here..." Ji Zishan ran into the Shoukang Palace with an ice basin cooling down. As soon as she ran over the threshold of the second hall, she saw Concubine Rong Yushi wiping her tears with a handkerchief. It seemed that she had encountered something sad. Ji Zishan scratched the back of her ears curiously, "What's wrong?"
Concubine Rong wiped away the tears and asked with a forced smile: "The princess is back. It's hot outside, so it's not sunny."
Princess Zhaoyang is the beloved of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty. Even if she was resentful and sad at this moment, she would not dare to neglect this little ancestor.
"Thank you for your concern, I didn't do it..." It was the scorching summer. Prince Yuanbao could have a meal and rest in Qunying Palace at noon, but Ji Zishan was a little girl. It was okay to go to school in Wenhua Pavilion in the front palace. If you even take a nap in the front palace, it would be a bit too far. Queen Mother Hui'an felt sorry for her young daughter and didn't want to ask her to run around with the sun every day, so she simply told her to only attend half a day of classes every day.
Empress Dowager Hui'an hugged her little daughter who was rubbing against her, and said warmly: "My mother and Concubine Rong have something to discuss. You go to the next door to play first, and don't be naughty..." Then she turned around and ordered Madam Biyun beside her, "Biyun, the princess wants to eat braised fish, so she asks the imperial kitchen to add it." The daily meals in the harem are usually as regular as a regular dish. If you suddenly want to eat, you can add it with just one extra command.
After Madam Biyun bowed and went to explain, Madam Su Rong took Ji Zishan to the inner hall.
Ji Zishan entered the back of the inner hall and neither sat in the chair nor lay on the couch, but stood against the base of the wall, with his ears erected with concentration. Seeing her secretly hiding at the base of the wall, Madam Su Rong looked at her with disagreement, but Ji Zishan pressed her index finger to her lips and whispered softly. Madam Su Rong had no choice but to bring a slut to Ji Zishan, making it more comfortable to eavesdrop.
If the Empress Dowager intended to keep a secret conversation with Concubine Rong, she would not have chosen the princess to say it at all.
Seeing that the little master was eavesdropping seriously, Madam Su Rong thought about it and brought a plate of peeled melon seeds over and asked her to eat while listening. Ji Zishan smiled at Madam Su Rong, who was well-known, and then turned her attention outside. Empress Dowager Hui'an said coldly: "The eldest prince consort not only privately cares for the outdoor room, but also called the woman pregnant. The person sent by the emperor has confirmed that Ziyuan is your biological daughter. What should you do?"
Ji Zishan, who was raising the wall and eavesdropping, frowned slightly: What??? You Madam You actually secretly raised someone outside?!
This is really...
"The Empress Dowager..." Concubine Rong couldn't control her emotions and sobbed softly. "I didn't expect that my nephew would be so stupid!" She was also very angry, but she was a junior from her parents' family and had married her beloved daughter. If she was severely punished, she was afraid that her parents' family would be exhausted. "I want to see my sister-in-law and that little beast! I want to ask them in person!"
After a while, Empress Dowager Hui'an's voice was faintly heard: "You go to Diluting and wait for them."
Fu'an Palace is the residence of the concubines of the late emperor, and the prince-consort of You should not enter. As for her Cining Palace... she did not want them to enter.
After Concubine Rong left in dismay, Ji Zishan rushed out of the inner hall and stood beside Empress Dowager Hui'an: "My mother, what is an outer room?" Ji Zishan has lived in the palace for more than six years, and this is the first time he heard this word, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.
Empress Dowager Hui'an glanced at her fat daughter and said with a stern face: "Fan, are you secretly listening to the corner of the wall again?" Every room in Shoukang Palace was extremely loud, and it was partitioned with Duobao Pavilion or Screen Beads. The voice she was talking just now was not very high. If the little daughter was playing in it honestly, she would not have heard the conversation just now.
"It wasn't just that the mother's queen was speaking too loudly, and she got into my ears." Ji Zishan pouted her tender cheeks and tried to argue skillfully.
Empress Dowager Hui'an was silent for a moment before saying, "The fan is still small, this is not what you should ask."
"I'm not young anymore. I'm six years old and I'm already grown up. Let's talk to me." Ji Zishan shook Empress Dowager Hui'an's arm and hummed like a coquettish man, "If the Queen Mother doesn't tell me, I'll go find my elder brother, and he will definitely tell me."
Empress Dowager Hui'an stretched out her finger and bounced her fat daughter's forehead, and cursed in anger: "What kind of sesame, mung beans are all about it, I have to ask your elder brother, do you think he is so idle..." After thinking about it, Empress Dowager Hui'an still explained to her fat daughter what it is. The younger daughter always wants to grow up, and it doesn't hurt to know some things in advance.
When Ji Zishan pestered Empress Dowager Hui'an to ask around, the decree passed from the palace also came to Mrs. You and Mrs. You. It was obviously the scorching sun, but the mother and son were cold and sweating.
As soon as the mother and son, who were nervous, entered the Dilu Pavilion, they quickly knelt down to the angry Concubine Rong.
Bang!
A big slap fell heavily on the face of Prince Yu. Concubine Rong looked at her nephew and son-in-law whose fair cheeks suddenly turned red, and said angrily: "You are really my good nephew and son-in-law! How did you promise me at the beginning? How long did you dare to secretly raise someone outside?! You can do it!" With a cold look, Concubine Rong looked at Mrs. Yu who was sweating profusely, "And you, how did you promise me? You said you would treat Ziyuan as a daughter and take good care of her. It's only a few years since Ziyuan is sick!"
Mrs. You, who was glared at by her sister-in-law, couldn't help but make a light statement: "The Concubine, Ziyuan fell ill when she gave birth..." It was not her intentional care for her!
"You also know that she fell ill when she gave birth! Who did that child give birth to?!" Thinking of her daughter who had been lingering in sick bed for many years, Concubine Rong couldn't help but shed tears and kicked Yu Gongma, "Who did you think Ziyuan gave birth to a child for?!"
Prince You was a weak scholar. Concubine Rong kicked her down with anger and kicked her down to the ground. Prince You didn't dare to complain and cry out for pain, so she quickly got up and knelt down again, lowered her head and said, "It's for... me."
"So you know it!" Concubine Rong was full of anger and kicked it out again. "At the beginning, the Empress Dowager originally disagreed with you. If your mother hadn't asked for guarantees and I was dealing with the Empress Dowager in every way, would you think you could marry Ziyuan? You bastard, I betrothed Ziyuan to you, that's how you treated her?"
He was kicked over again, and the prince-consort You then knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Mother, I know I was wrong. It was my lard that caught my heart. Sorry, Princess, I will never dare to do it again..."
After Princess Rong got angry, she fell into a chair and fell into a difficult situation. If her daughter married another family, she would naturally have to give her a good look. But her daughter married her parents' family, and she was a You girl. Can she suppress her parents' family by herself?
"Mother's Concubine..." Seeing that Concubine Rong stopped greeting him, Prince You knelt forward, moved to Concubine Rong's leg, and cried and admitted her mistake and apologized, "Mother's Concubine, I already know that I was wrong. That woman, I have someone to give her medicine and have a baby, and will send her out of the capital. I will never see her again. Please forgive me this time, and I will never dare to do it again."
Prince You felt very wronged. He was only in his twenties, and he was very young. Before his princess' cousin was pregnant, although his sexual problems were not satisfactory, he could barely live. However, since she had a child with difficulty, she had been sick all day long and weak. Throughout the year, he could get close to her and counted a slap.
My cousin is a princess, and he doesn’t even have the freedom to buy a concubine. He is a normal man and is energetic when he is in full swing. He can’t get close to women all year round, so he feels uncomfortable.
Besides, as for the sickly body of the princess cousin, she would have children for herself after she was well raised, and she didn't know what time it was. Many men of aged as old as him had run around the ground, but he finally had a daughter, but he still died of anger as soon as he landed. He couldn't be a man, and even his father could not be a father. Isn't he wronged all of this?
When he learned that the woman he had raised had a child, he felt so happy. He even had thought about it. With the princess's cousin's body, he would probably not be able to give birth to a child in the future. He had to think of a way to raise the child openly by his side. Unexpectedly, there was no time to arrange everything, and he was actually ginsenged by the Censorate!
I don’t know which turtle girl told the secret!
He secretly kept the outdoor room and made the outdoor room pregnant. This move undoubtedly slapped the royal family hard. When the family's wealth and personal future were at stake, Yu's concubine could not care about the outdoor room and the unborn children in the outdoor room. Of course, he was more concerned about the royal family's anger. Therefore, he did not stop and quickly dealt with the most important fuse of this matter.
After all, Concubine Rong is the daughter of the You family. She is easy to deal with here. The most difficult problem is... Your Majesty and the Queen Mother.
Although the princess' cousin is not the daughter of the queen mother, she is a serious royal princess and also represents the face of the royal family. For the sake of being both the blood of the You family, the concubine can easily let the You family go, but the queen mother and Your Majesty must punish the You family to protect the face of the royal family. Otherwise, where will the royal family face be put?
As Mr. You thought, His Majesty Ji Ziqing and Empress Dowager Hui'an attached great importance to this matter.
I am so despised by the princess who finally let go of her, and I must not make it clear.
If the princess cannot have children, you can discuss with the royal family. The royal family is not unreasonable and will let the prince consort fall to the point of losing his son and grandson. However, it would be too much for you to do things behind your back. Therefore, on the third day after the investigation of the prince consort, His Majesty Ji Ziqing dismissed the position of Prince Consort You, seized Mrs. You's imperial edict, and demoted Mrs. You for his poor education.
