Chapter 228: The conditions of the Holy Son—one for one
This was the first time for Lu Pheasant to see Empress De Fei who was so "excellent in both singing and composition".
She sat next to her, lowering her head unconsciously to prevent her expression from betraying her true thoughts.
Yinzhen was outside, and some scenes from his childhood seemed to pop up in his mind.
He shook his head slightly, suppressing the memory.
Since they are biological mother and son, they should save a little "face" for each other.
For example, take the initiative to clear some "not very necessary" black history.
Concubine Min was closest to Concubine De and held her in her arms to comfort her.
The concubines outside were a little unable to squeeze in, and they also looked anxious.
Lu Pheasant glanced at Min Bin, she was the next one on the list of "Ga" in the harem.
It's better to keep her away.
Lu Zhi voluntarily withdrew, and the secret concubine occupied a position.
The concubine Xi, who had been released from the ban, stood outside and said coolly: "Didn't I just hear that Sifu Jin is pregnant with the Holy Son?"
"Could it be that the Holy Son's condition is to exchange one for one?"
The secret concubine suddenly said angrily: "Concubine Xi, what are you talking about?"
"That's the auspiciousness recognized by the Lord Long Live."
"If it's one for one, can it still be called auspicious?"
"Concubine Xi has not learned enough lessons. Do you want to question the emperor's decree again?"
How could a concubine, an old man who had been in the palace for many years, let a concubine, a young child who had just entered the palace, take away her face?
Even though this newcomer has given birth to two princes for the emperor and lived in the side hall of Chengqian Palace.
Concubine Xi was not willing to lose in front of everyone: "Everyone said that the concubine was favored and relied on the power of Yonghe Palace. Now it seems that it is true."
"I just care about the Seventh Princess, so I made this guess."
"I am also giving advice to Concubine De, but the concubine is so unwilling to let me go."
"Who is the one who is disrespectful to the Emperor's decree of auspiciousness?"
"Empress De Fei, since Sifujin is pregnant with the Holy Son, she can naturally protect everyone in Yonghe Palace and turn danger into good fortune."
"With auspiciousness in hand, there is no need for Concubine De to worry too much, right?"
Concubine De was still crying and her speech was still clear: "Thank you, concubine Xi, for thinking about Xiao Qi."
"Sifujin cares about Xiaoqi and insists on staying. We all just hope that Xiaoqi can get through this."
"Woo..."
The smell on the handkerchief was so irritating that Concubine De had to try hard not to let the snot bubbles appear in her nose.
When Ling Pu arrived, he didn't dare to go to the place where the gods were fighting.
But the fourth elder brother, who should now be called the Prince of Yong County, was guarding Baoxia. His face was as cold as the King of Hell and he asked: "Manager Lingpu, the seventh princess has always been allergic to catkins."
"How come this season you have so many catkins hidden on the cloths and silk ribbons that you specially provided for the Seventh Princess?"
"Is the illness of the Seventh Princess related to your Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Little did Ling Pu know that he would be given such a big hat as soon as he arrived. He quickly knelt down and said, "Fourth Master, the Prince of Yong County, the ancestor of this servant, you can't say this nonsense."
"The supply of Yonghe Palace has always been handled by Deputy General Manager Yue Se."
"If something goes wrong, shouldn't he be the first person to be looked for?"
Wuya Yuese's expression on the side was even worse than that of Concubine De in the palace. He covered his mouth, coughed for a while, and then said: "Fourth Master, this is how it should be."
"It's just that Xiaguan contracted the cold recently and took a lot of time off."
"It happened to be arranged by Lord Lingpu to someone else."
"You have to ask him about his arrangements for details."
The Fourth Master continued with a cold face: "Manager Lingpu, now it's time for you to give me an explanation, right?"
"Fourth Master, this, this is impossible!"
"The cloth from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is within the quota. Except for the few above, they naturally come first after Yonghe Palace."
"How dare we interfere with the seventh princess's case?"
The Fourth Master smiled: "Look, Manager Yi Lingpu, who dares to tamper with this?"
Ling Pu rolled his eyes: "Reply to Fourth Master, I have remembered it."
"Someone came over a while ago and said that his batch of veils was ordered by the emperor for five consecutive years when Empress Hui was still in charge."
"My servant checked the internal files and found that there was indeed such an order. The quantity was not large, so I kept it."
"Among them, Concubine Yonghe Gongde received five pieces, and the Seventh Princess received two pieces. Could it be that there was something wrong with this batch of cloth ordered by Concubine Hui?"
Fourth Master: "Reason?"
"Usually, the lining consists of organza, bright red inner lining and green inner lining. Among them, the batch with bright red inner lining is said to have been reworked under the personal order of Concubine Hui."
"The slave thought it was strange at the time, but did not investigate carefully."
"Fourth Master might as well start with this batch of red veils, maybe we can find the answer."
"As for the crime of negligence, I will confess it to the Emperor and the Crown Prince in person and ask for punishment."
"I hope Fourth Master will calm down."
Ling Pu not only pointed the finger at the old enemy of Yonghe Palace, the Hui concubine Nala family, but also carried out the emperor and the prince to protect himself.
King Yongjun could not touch him for a while.
Lu Pheasant, who had been listening to a few words, said at this time: "Manager Ling Pu, you are so smart."
"You know that we can't find the person who gave the veil, and you also know that Empress Hui is still in confinement."
"Even if I want to ask, I can't."
"Xiao Qi is still ill, but the person who caused her illness has no evidence at all."
"Is this the way the Ministry of Internal Affairs handles things now?"
"If Lord Long Live knew about it, would Manager Ling Pu still say the same thing?"
Ling Pu was still kneeling and turned his head in another direction: "Sifu Jin, you are now pregnant with the Holy Son, a body of a thousand pieces of gold."
"The reason why this slave falls at your feet is because the ancestral graves are filled with smoke."
"As for Empress Hui, whether she can defend herself in Yanxi Palace, even I can't decide on this matter."
The good concubine arrived at this time.
Her familiarity with Concubine De and others in recent days was not enough to support her to come here at this moment, braving so many people.
Unless she knew something big was going on, and her eighth brother must have pushed her from behind.
The good concubine didn't care about the gazes of the people in the room. She only approached Concubine De, and after bowing, she said softly: "Concubine De, concubine Hui, she, she said she has something to tell you."
"Only, only tell you."
Concubine De wiped her tears. Finally, someone came to let her stop wiping the veil for the time being.
She threw the veil to Nanny Su.
Aunt Su quickly took it to deal with it while no one was paying attention.
Concubine De asked Concubine Min to help lift up Concubine Liang: "Concubine Liang, but Concubine Hui used a trick to get you here?"
The good concubine lowered her head and shook her head, unable to hold back a word.
The concubine beside her was so anxious that she wanted to use something to pry open her head so that she could help her speak out.
Everyone stared at her more and more.
The good concubine became more and more nervous, stirring the handkerchief in her hand and moving her eyes slightly.
Lu Pheasant came closer.
As if knowing that Si Fujin was pregnant with the Holy Son, Liang Concubine felt at ease and said, "Concubine Hui said, if Concubine De still wants to keep the Seventh Princess, it's best to listen to her."
