Chapter 47 Lessons from the Concubine(1/2)
Chu Yunning clenched his fists tightly, remembering the two of them’s dispute just now, and replied: “Instead of worrying about outsiders, it is better to think of ways to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family. The emperor ascended the throne for many years and has no children yet. Will the queen not find the reason for the central palace? Xia Guifei overcame the emperor’s kindness and cannot give birth to him. Could it be that he wants to cut off the imperial heir?"
If you sprinkle salt on the wound, she will do it.
Empress Gong and Concubine Xia looked at each other, and each was very angry.
"Being arrogant, you can also discuss my private affairs at will. Come on, slap your mouth!"
Concubine Xia was exposed and was taught a lesson by the empress dowager. She was worried that she had nowhere to vent her anger.
A little palace maid walked over quickly and raised her hand.
"Bang!"
Chu Yunning raised his hand and slapped the little palace maid: "Rareless, I am the late emperor's personal princess, and you can humiliate it at will?"
"The Imperial Concubine..." The little palace maid was blinded and covered her face to look at the Imperial Concubine Xia.
"Chu Yunning, you are crazy. How dare you hit the people around me!"
Concubine Xia stared at Chu Yunning fiercely with sharp eyes, as if she wanted to slapped her.
"Concubine Xia, this is Cihe Palace. Today's Empress Dowager's birthday party is not a place where you can just go wild!"
The two looked at each other, and Chu Yunning's aura was no less than that of the flawed concubine.
Concubine Xia subconsciously looked at the Empress Dowager: "I am not disrespecting the Empress Dowager, but..."
"But what?" The Empress Dowager had long seen Concubine Xia was unhappy and said angrily: "Even if you have the intention to cause trouble for the Ai family, you can't give birth to it yourself, and you can't stand others' fulfillment!"
When Concubine Xia was scolded, she naturally felt dissatisfied: "Empress Dowager, I am not jealous of Princess Xiao, but I am thinking about the Empress Dowager..."
The queen mother waved her hand, looking like she didn't want to hear the explanation.
Concubine Xia was so angry that she shut up. After all, she was the emperor's biological mother. After all, she was so angry that the emperor could not stand his face.
The Empress of the Palace beside her smiled gloatingly.
The Empress Dowager looked at the Empress Palace unhappily: "According to folk rules, you have committed seven mistakes, and the Ai family is not very patient. If you are not capable, you can free up the position of the central palace!"
After being scolded by the Queen Mother, the Queen of Palace was a little embarrassed and stood up in a panic and admitted her mistake: "What the Queen Mother taught me is that I know my mistake."
With the support of the Queen Mother, Chu Yunning felt warm.
"The emperor's grandmother calms down her breath, and she will feel distressed if she gets angry."
Beibei's little hand gently patted the empress dowager's shoulder, and the soft and glutinous sound made people's hearts melt.
The empress dowager's tense face suddenly relaxed and she smiled slightly: "Did the emperor's grandmother scare Beibei? Beibei is not afraid or afraid? Whoever dares to bully you in the future will tell the emperor's grandmother, and the emperor's grandmother punish them!"
Beibei nodded obediently.
The banquet began soon, and the Empress Dowager led Beibei to everyone's sight.
"Whose child is this? She looks so cute."
"Yes, I think I've seen it somewhere."
"Does the eyebrows look so similar to those eyes...the late emperor?"
I don’t know who said this in the crowd, it was like a drop of water splashing into boiling oil.
After a brief silence, everyone talked: "That's true, it looks very similar."
"I do have a bit of heroic spirit between the eyebrows of the late emperor. Whose child is this?"
"Is it the royal descendant?"
"When did the emperor have the remains of the sea? This is simply a joy!"
The Queen Mother listened to the praises and felt regretful while being happy.
What is regretful is that this child is not a prince, but what is happy is that Beibei is indeed her grandson.
"Don't guess it all, this is the descendant of King Xiao!"
Concubine Xia twisted her water snake's waist and walked over, reached out to support the bead hairpin between her temples, and squinted her eyes: "It is the child born to Miss Chu who left Prince Xiao's Mansion five years ago."
After such a reminder, the people present were stunned.
"King Xiao's son?"
"I remember that the only child of King Xiao died of illness five years ago. A while ago, King Xiao asked for an order to posthumously named his son as the prince. Why did another child appear?"
"Imperial Concubine, is this child really the son of Prince Xiao?"
Concubine Xia was just now feeling angry, and now she deliberately evasively refused to explain clearly.
"This is the son of King Xiao, the only legitimate son so far, Xiao Beibei!"
The empress dowager made a sound and reached out and unbuttoned the purple jade tied around her waist and hung it on Beibei's waist.
This purple jade is a rare and top-notch one. It was also given by the empress dowager when he was named the queen.
It's very expensive!
He actually gave it to a child over four years old.
"Thank you, my grandmother!" Beibei was not timid, his behavior was generous and highly praised.
"Princess Xiao is well-educated, and such a young child is so polite." Someone's wife praised it.
Chu Yunning smiled, Beibei was her pride.
His eyes touched Concubine Xia, and this woman repeatedly challenged her weaknesses.
"Princess Xiao, you plan to live alone with your children in the future. You are so young and have long nights, how can you live your life?"
Concubine Xia still didn't plan to spare Chu Yunning, and questioned her in public, hoping to reveal Chu Yunning's old truth.
"Imperial Concubine, my mother didn't offend you on purpose, don't make things difficult for my mother."
Beibei rushed down and stood by Chu Yunning.
"Beibei, don't be rude to the Imperial Concubine!" Chu Yunning said softly.
Beibei raised his red lips and looked aggrieved: "But, the concubine always makes things difficult for you. It's Beibei's fault. Beibei shouldn't have appeared at the palace banquet to make the concubine unhappy. Mom, we have already celebrated the birthday of the emperor's grandmother, let's go."
Beibei swallowed even more as he said that, sucked his nose deeply, and held back his tears, which made people's hearts break.
"Why is this child so pitiful? Concubine Xia can't give birth to it himself, so she is jealous of others and is too stingy."
"Concubine Xia delayed the royal family's growth and leaves. How could she have the nerve to occupy the emperor's grace? "
Among the families who came to the banquet today, many daughters were sent to the palace. Concubine Xia took over the favor himself, which led to their daughter being neglected, and she must be unhappy.
Concubine Xia was squeezed out with a embarrassed expression and looked at the Empress Dowager aggrievedly: "Empress Dowager, I don't mean that, I must be the Princess Xiao deliberately instigating the child to make things difficult for me."
The Queen Mother pretended not to see it, turned her head and said something to the people around her.
"Imperial Concubine, why should you be so intolerant of a child?"
There are so many concubines in the harem, but in terms of beauty, the concubine is indeed as beautiful as a flower, but how can the emperor bear this vicious personality?
"You!" Concubine Xia was about to scold her, but she opened her mouth wide and said several times, but suddenly she found that she could not even speak.
Concubine Xia covered her voice in shock and frightened, shouting, but she still couldn't make any sound.
Only ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
Chu Yunning lowered her eyes. She just gave Concubine Xia a very quick way while the person was unprepared.
The beautiful concubine Xia's beautiful little face was filled with tears, and she asked the palace maid to hire an imperial physician.
"Concubine Xia, what are you playing tricks!"
The empress dowager sneered. She had seen Concubine Xia pretending to be dizzy more than once, winning the emperor's favor.
This time will definitely be no exception.
At this time, a little eunuch shouted: "The emperor is here, King Xiao is here!"
Everyone made way and knelt down and saluted.
"See the Emperor."
Emperor Mingwen walked in front in a bright yellow dragon robe, followed by King Xiao behind him.
King Xiao's eyes fell on Chu Yunning and Beibei. Beibei turned his head with red eyes and didn't look at him. King Xiao couldn't help but frown.
This child is so rude that he was taught badly by Chu Yunning.
"Ahhhh!" Concubine Xia rushed over and pounced on Emperor Mingwen's knees, crying so hard that the pear blossoms were filled with rain that made people feel pity.
"What's wrong with the imperial concubine?" Emperor Mingwen helped the imperial concubine up.
Concubine Xia pointed at her throat, but she couldn't even cry.
The Empress Dowager really couldn't stand it: "Come here, please come and see the Imperial Doctor Wen."
After a while, the imperial physician came with a medicine box and took the pulse of Concubine Xia in public.
After a while, I heard the Imperial Doctor say, "When I returned to the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Concubine was aphasia caused by anger. I could only prescribe a few doses of medicine to relieve it."
"Are you speechless?" The Queen Mother was surprised. She thought she was pretending.
