"Ms. Zhang made rude remarks. She not only insulted me, but also maliciously slandered the child in my belly. She will be punished to stay in seclusion for ten days and she will be punished immediately!"
Zhang's eyes widened and she said in disbelief: "Your Highness is not here, why do you deal with me!"
This was not the first time that she met Concubine Ye before entering the palace.
She had met her several times before, and every time she bumped into His Highness, Concubine Ye, he was beside her, and His Highness punished her with grounding every time.
But His Highness is out of Beijing today, and no one can support Concubine Ye anymore.
In terms of their identities, they are both concubines.
In terms of qualifications, Mrs. Zhang entered the palace earlier than Concubine Ye, and she is also His Highness's cousin!
Concubine Ye, how dare she dare? Ye Fuxun looked at Zhang's green and white face, slightly curled up the corner of his mouth, and gently raised the car curtain.
This action was like a hammer hitting Zhang's body.
She followed Ye Fulun's hand and looked straight into the carriage in confusion.
Could it be that His Highness is back? Ye Fuxun said, "Concubine Zhang, don't worry, His Highness has not returned from the capital."
Just when Mrs. Zhang put her heart back in her stomach, Ye Fuxun suddenly raised the token in his hand: "But I have a prince's warrant here. Seeing this warrant is like seeing the prince."
"You, you have no right to do that!" Mrs. Zhang stared at the warrant and tightened the handkerchief in her hand.
"You scolded me and cursed the emperor's heir. If His Highness hears this with his own ears, it is not a problem that can be solved by being grounded for ten days." Ye Fuxun did not want to waste time with Zhang anymore, "Hu Ping, escort Zhang back."
Moon Palace, arrange for people to guard it."
After saying this, he added, "Let's set off."
The carriage arrived outside the palace, and as soon as it entered the palace gate, a soft sedan arranged by the Queen Mother was waiting for her.
There were many courtiers and ladies coming and going, but Ye Fuxun was the only one who had a sedan chair.
After nodding and greeting the people nearby, she got into the soft sedan.
For a time, many rumors about her spread among the ladies.
"It is said that the Queen Mother is most fond of Concubine Ye from the Prince's Mansion. It is true when we meet her today."
"She is the only one in the Prince's house who is pregnant. It is normal for the Queen Mother to be more concerned about her."
"It is said that the Queen Mother was not very kind to Concubine Ye before she became pregnant. Even after she became pregnant, the Queen Mother still summoned Concubine Ye to the palace every now and then. This is an honor that no one else has."
At this time, Ye Fuxun had already gone to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a soft sedan chair, unaware that he had become the focus of conversation again for no apparent reason.
When they arrived at the carriage under the carriage of His Highness Taihe, they saw Princess Chu and Princess Qin coming together.
"Ah Xun's belly is so big." Princess Qin hadn't seen Ye Fuxun for two months, and was shocked by her belly that suddenly inflated like a balloon.
No wonder the prince came back and said that Concubine Ye did not plan to follow her to the East China Sea this time.
It is really not suitable to travel far with such a big belly.
"Ah Xun, do you have any news about His Highness?" Princess Qin asked again.
Since the prince left Beijing, no news has been sent to the government.
Ye Fuxun thought for a while: "I received a letter from His Highness two days ago, saying that things are going very smoothly."
Princess Qin was happy and disappointed at the same time.
The three of them entered the main hall together, and were greeted by nanny: "The Queen Mother, please ask Concubine Ye to come over."
After Ye Fuxun nodded to Princess Chu and Princess Qin, he followed his mother to the Queen Mother.
"Ah Xun is sitting next to Ai Jia today, talking to Ai Jia."
The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner started soon.
All kinds of delicacies were brought up by the palace maids like flowing water, surrounded by silk and bamboo, and a dancer slowly danced in the center.
In the middle of the banquet, some literati and courtiers stood up and recited poems about loving the moon, and even more courtiers played the harp to add to the fun.
It was rare that the emperor was in high spirits, so everyone worked hard to stir up the atmosphere, and the hall was filled with joy and joy.
Ye Fuxun was also very interested in watching it, but after all, he was already a month old. Halfway through the banquet, his upper eyelids and lower eyelids couldn't help but start fighting.
Feeling sleepy and want to sleep.
But when he thought about his ability to fall asleep instantly since he was pregnant, Ye Fuxun quickly cheered up.
Before the dinner was over, I fell asleep sitting next to the Queen Mother. That would not be an embarrassment to the Queen Mother.
She tried her best to suppress it, put her hand in front of her face, and yawned cautiously.
The corners of his eyes suddenly filled with water.
I'm really sleepy and don't know when the banquet will end.
But looking at the cheerful faces of everyone in the hall, I felt that it would take a long time to complete the matter.
While Ye Fuxun was thinking wildly, a group of palace maids slowly came forward to serve melon and fruit snacks to each table.
One of the palace maids slowly walked up to her and the Queen Mother, bent down and picked up the fruits from the tray, preparing to put them on the Queen Mother's table.
And the next moment, Ye Fuxun, who was secretly yawning, suddenly saw a flash of silver light in the hand of the palace maid.
She quickly raised her hand without thinking -
All the white powder in the palm of his hand was sprinkled into the eyes of the palace maid.
"Ah!" The palace maid only heard a painful groan, but the power in her hand was just a pause, and the shining silver dagger shot straight towards the back door of the Queen Mother!
"Unbridled!" Ye Fuxun intercepted for a moment, and the Queen Mother reacted immediately. She picked up the silver spoon on the table and knocked the dagger to the ground. She flicked her long sleeves and suppressed the palace maid to the ground with her bare hands.
In an instant, the surrounding guards stepped forward and arrested the maid. The Queen Mother angrily picked up the silver cup on the table and shot it into the maid's mouth: "Don't let her bite her tongue and commit suicide. Take her down and interrogate her carefully."
Something happened in the Queen Mother's room, and the Emperor was so nervous that he got up and came over to inquire about the situation.
"The Ai family is fine."
After all, the Queen Mother is a person who has experienced great storms. Although she has lived in the palace for a long time and is pampered, her skills are still good. "Fortunately, Ah Xun reacted quickly and hurt the maid's eye, otherwise the Ai family would have been in danger."
She was so absorbed in watching the performance just now that she really didn't notice anything strange about the maid.
"Ai Jia and Ah Xun will go back to Cining Palace first." The Queen Mother lost interest. She glanced at the Emperor, stood up, and left the Palace of Supreme Harmony with Ye Fuxun's support.
As soon as the assassination came and went, it was over so quickly that some guests sitting far away did not see the situation clearly.
The emperor was thoughtful and did not stop the banquet: "Continue."
Ye Fuxun accompanied the Empress Dowager in a sedan chair and drove them back to Cining Palace. The imperial physician had already been waiting in Cining Palace.
"My family is fine."
The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Let's check Concubine Ye's pulse first."
After all, it was an assassination, because I was afraid of shocking the fetus.
Ye Fuxun knew that the Queen Mother was worried, so he obediently stretched out his hand to let the imperial doctor check her pulse.
Her pulse condition was stable, and the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief.
If something happens to the fetus because of this, it will make the Queen Mother feel uneasy.
"Don't worry, Madam," Ye Fuxun held her hand to comfort her, "I just gave you a handful of powder, it won't cause fetal contractions."
