Chapter 390 The sick ninth prince

Wei Ruo was brought to Mrs. Yuan.

Also present were Nanny Qin and another Nanny Wei Ruo had never seen before.

Nanny Qin introduced to Wei Ruo: "Miss, this is Nanny Zeng."

Wei Ruo looked at that person, and from the tone and demeanor of Nanny Qin, Wei Ruo could tell that although they were both nuns from the palace, Nanny Zeng's status should be slightly higher than that of Nanny Qin.

"Old slave, I have met the eldest lady." Aunt Zeng was slightly blessed, and her attitude toward Wei Ruo was just like Aunt Qin's, polite and courteous.

"Mother Zeng." Wei Ruo nodded to the other party and said hello.

"Miss, these are gifts given to you by your empress. Thank you for your contribution to the people of Taizhou Prefecture."

Next to Grandma Zeng were several boxes, covered with red cloth.

Although the contents inside could not be seen for the time being, Wei Ruo knew from the ceremony that the items were not bad and should be some valuable and good things.

"Thank you for your gift." Wei Ruo thanked him.

She thought to herself that this Concubine Hui was kinder than her son and knew how to give her gifts. It was not in vain that she had led her son to achieve great success.

"Young lady, you don't have to be polite. These rewards given by the empress are also approved by the Holy Spirit. They are earned by the eldest girl's ability."

Wei Ruo followed Mrs. Yuan in presiding over the disaster relief work and received a commendation. However, because she was the legitimate daughter of the clan, the emperor could not reward her directly. Instead, she asked the seventh prince's mother and concubine, who was related to the incident, to give the commendation. This showed her attitude without being disrespectful.

number.

"Young lady, please thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Wei Ruo said hurriedly.

"The empress said that when the eldest daughter goes to the capital, she must summon her and thank her in person." Grandma Zeng said very politely.

"The women of the people are frightened, but they try their best and don't dare to claim credit." Wei Ruo replied hurriedly.

Grandma Zeng took Wei Ruo's hand and patted the back of Wei Ruo's hand gently: "Miss, I hope to see you benefiting more people again in the future, and taking the same responsibility of saving all peoples as His Majesty the Seventh Prince.

.”

Wei Ruo smiled lightly and immediately understood the meaning of Grandma Zeng's words.

This is a hint that he wants her to continue to stand by Chu Lan in the future.

Wei Ruo replied: "Mommy, as a female prostitute, there are not many places where I can be useful. It is because of Mrs. Yuan's appreciation and support that I have this opportunity to do my best for the people. My ability

Everything has been shown, and I can’t help with anything else.”

"Girl, don't belittle yourself. Even the things you are doing now are already beyond the reach of many ladies from famous families." Grandma Zeng said.

Wei Ruo just responded with a smile.

Mrs. Yuan knew that Wei Ruo was not very good at dealing with this situation, so she came forward and said to Aunt Zeng: "Mom, Sister Ruo'er is almost embarrassed by what you said. I won't allow you to put too much pressure on her."

Already."

"Okay, okay." Mother Zeng responded with a smile, "I can see that the princess really likes the eldest daughter, and she is afraid that I, an old woman, will scare the eldest daughter."

"Aren't we afraid of you? I've heard of your name, Grandma Zeng, since I was a child." Mrs. Yuan joked with a smile.

Mrs. Yuan often went to the palace, and she was an old acquaintance with several favored nuns in the palace, including the senior Nanny Zeng.

"My Royal Highness, what you say makes me, an old woman, very frightened. If the old prince hears it and takes it seriously, then my old woman's head will not be saved!" Grandma Zeng said with a smile on her face.

The two nuns, Mrs. Yuan, and Wei Ruo chatted together for a long time. The three of them were mainly talking, and Wei Ruo only occasionally seconded their opinions and spoke less.

After chatting for more than a quarter of an hour, Nanny Zeng and Nanny Qin said goodbye to Mrs. Yuan. Mrs. Yuan sent Qingyi to see the two nannies off.

Mrs. Yuan and Wei Ruo were the only ones left in the house.

Mrs. Yuan said to Wei Ruo in a gentle tone: "Although Concubine Hui is not favored, she has given birth to a capable seventh prince, and her status in the palace is unshakable. That Aunt Zeng is an old man in the palace. In the past

Those who serve in front of the Queen Mother are somewhat thin-faced even in front of the Emperor."

Wei Ruo nodded, "Thank you, Madam, for your suggestion, I'll note it down."

Mrs. Yuan added: "The reward given to you by Concubine Hui this time should be authorized by the Holy Emperor, so you don't have to worry about getting involved with the Seventh Prince."

"I thought about it." Wei Ruodao said, Wei Ruo had already thought about this issue on the way here.

Concubine Hui is a concubine, and it would be too stupid to blatantly give gifts to the clan daughter if she is trying to win Wei Ruo over to her side.

Mrs. Yuan's words confirmed Wei Ruo's thoughts.

It can be seen from this that Wei Mingyong's worries are simply unnecessary and are nothing more than his self-righteous and stupid ideas.

Mrs. Yuan said to Wei Ruo: "Speaking of which, before you came, Grandma Zeng told me about a major event that happened in Beijing recently."

"What's going on?"

"You may have heard that in the current battle for the crown prince, the most popular candidates are the sixth prince and the seventh prince. The sixth prince's maternal ancestors are powerful and have many supporters in the court; while the seventh prince's own ability is superior to that of the sixth prince.

Some. Originally, the Sixth Prince was more promising between the two, but recently the Sixth Prince's disaster relief efforts have been fruitless, and the Seventh Prince's military exploits have increased the Seventh Prince's voice."

"I've heard a little bit about it." Wei Ruo didn't understand why Mrs. Yuan mentioned this at this time.

"Then you probably don't know that the Ninth Prince has appeared and the situation is about to change." Mrs. Yuan said in surprise.

"Ninth Prince?" Wei Ruo looked at Mrs. Yuan in surprise.

"Yes, Ninth Prince." Mrs. Yuan was very sure.

"I have heard some rumors about the Ninth Prince before, but they should be just rumors. They can't be taken seriously, right?"

There is a basis for Wei Ruohui to think so. In the original work, Chu Lan won the battle for the inheritance, and no Ninth Prince appeared in the end.

The Ninth Prince only exists in people's conversations, and his status in the heart of the emperor is probably similar to the status of the late Bai Yueguang in the heart of the male protagonist.

Whenever the Sixth and Seventh Princes had something that made the Emperor feel dissatisfied, the Emperor would think of the child he had with his beloved Queen Xu.

Although the child died as soon as he was born, it did not prevent him from being regarded as the best and most perfect son in the emperor's heart.

"I thought so too at first, but I didn't expect this person to actually show up. And it was at a critical time when Xu Guogong's treason case was being retried," Mrs. Yuan said.

"Is he the real Ninth Prince? Is there someone pretending to be him?" Wei Ruo asked.

Mrs. Yuan shook her head: "I'm not sure now, but the people who escorted this person back to the capital were all former ministers of Queen Xu, and they also had the tokens of Queen Xu. This is something that most people who want to impersonate can't do."

Wei Ruo frowned, a little confused.

This does not appear in the original work!

"But... there seems to be something wrong with this Ninth Prince. He is very ill and looks like he won't live long." Mrs. Yuan added.
