Chapter 174 3 Princess
"Huang Guiquan was the most perceptive. When he saw the few people coming in, he quickly bowed and trotted forward, and said, 'I greet the three masters!'"
"An Lingrong raised her hand and said, 'Eunuch Huang is too polite. No need to be polite!'"
"Thank you, madam. Thank you for your hard work today, father-in-law!"
Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is my duty.
Huang Guiquan responded with a smile, bowed his body, raised his hand and led the three people to the dining hall, and said as he walked; "Madam, the table is ready, and the dishes are according to your arrangement!"
"Everything is prepared to the best of our ability. Now the dining hall is preparing the necessary drinks. Your Majesty, please go to the dining hall and see if it suits your taste."
An Lingrong smiled and nodded, then turned and said, "Sister Mei, my dear, shall we go and take a look together?"
Nature is good!
"An Lingrong is favored and has a prince as her child. No matter what the reason, Huang Guiquan will not slack off! The three of them walked around the dining hall and found nothing wrong, so they returned to the main hall and sat down."
"Can someone go pick up Rong'er and Xiaoqi?" An Lingrong asked after someone served tea. The two nodded, and Concubine Xin said, "Wen Rong shouted when he woke up in the morning that he wanted to come to the Empress' place."
"I think it will be soon," said Concubine Xin. Qiu Fang led people to bring Hong Zhao and the little princess in. The emperor has not yet given her a name. The little princess is the third one, so everyone calls her the Third Princess now."
"Let Qiufang put Hongzhao next to her. An Lingrong took the third princess and patted her gently. The weather is getting colder now, so the children should wear thicker clothes."
"After a month of careful care, the little princess' face has become more rosy and she is not as thin as when she was born."
"The princess was in her arms. Shen Meizhuang and the others also came to take a look. At one glance, Concubine Xin showed a look of surprise."
"I remember that the third princess was very thin when she was born a month ago. Now, in just one month, she has grown so cute. It can be seen that Your Majesty must have put a lot of effort into her."
"It's a pity that the princess lost her mother when she was born. Since she has been raised by me, I don't care what happens to her in the future. Now that she is in my palace, I will definitely not let her suffer any grievances."
"Your Majesty is merciful! As long as they are on good terms, Concubine Xin will praise them without hesitation. Shen Meizhuang came closer and took off her armor, then reached out and touched the Third Princess's forehead. The princess is fairer and more gentle than the princes, unlike Little Six and Little Seven who make a fuss all day long."
"The third princess was just falling asleep. She seemed to feel Shen Meizhuang's warm hand. She smacked her lips a few times, tilted her head, and fell into a deep sleep."
"When Shen Meizhuang saw the Third Princess's cute appearance, her eyes softened. She's so cute!"
"It's rare for me to see Wen Rong. He's very polite, well-behaved, and speaks softly. That's what makes him cute! When he comes, I'll hug him and kiss him!"
"An Lingrong smiled and responded to a few words. She turned around and saw the wet nurse leading Wen Rong in. The little girl approached slowly, and she didn't need to be taught."
"She put her hands on her waist and spoke softly: Rong'er greets Madam Shu, Madam Xian, and mother!"
"Such a well-behaved child is naturally easy to attract others' love. Shen Meizhuang smiled at Wen Rong's appearance!"
"He leaned over and held Wen Rong on his knees, and said softly: Rong'er, please stop being polite. Rong'er, are you ready for breakfast?"
"As soon as she said this, she burst out laughing. Concubine Xin didn't know why the other party was like that, but An Lingrong reacted."
"She glared at Shen Meizhuang in a pretentious manner, and she finally held back her smile. It was so early, so she must have had her breakfast in the Yanxi Palace."
"With Concubine Xin, an experienced person who has been assisting the harem for several months, there is not much to do during the banquet. I have prepared everything myself before lunch time."
"Among the people in the harem who are close to An Lingrong, apart from Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Xin, only Concubine Jing arrived first. After Concubine Jing came in, the others arrived one after another."
"In the dining hall, the first seat in the middle was empty, with the Queen and Concubine Hua sitting on either side. Yixiu glanced at the dishes on the table and said with a smile: "Look at these dishes, Concubine Shu has taken the trouble to look at them."
"Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your praise. I do not deserve it." An Lingrong said, "Yes." Yixiu asked again, "Should we send someone to the Yangxin Palace to invite the Emperor?"
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Su said that the Emperor is busy with government affairs today and may not be able to come." Well, since the Emperor can't come, we can just entertain ourselves.
"Yi Xiu said with a smile. An Lingrong was about to take care of everyone and start eating when Su Peisheng's voice suddenly rang out from outside: The Emperor has arrived!"
"Everyone stood up quickly after hearing this. As soon as they stood still, the emperor strode in and paid his respects to the emperor!"
"The emperor seemed to be in a good mood. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, get up! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"The emperor walked all the way to the main seat and sat down, then waved his hand and said, 'Today is a family dinner, everyone don't have to be so reserved, please take a seat!'"
"Everyone thanked him again and sat down. Yixiu spoke first. I thought the emperor was too busy with government affairs to come!"
"Today is the princess's full moon, and the government is very happy. Of course I have to come." The emperor said, his expression was even more cheerful, and he turned around and said, "Hua Fei!"
"Ever since Concubine Hua entered the Yanxi Palace, she has been keeping strangers away. It was not until the emperor entered the palace that she showed a hint of smugness on her face!"
"When she heard the emperor calling her, she immediately put on a smile, turned to look at the emperor and said in a tender voice: Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is so happy, but is there any happy event?"
"Yi Xiu has always been willing to cooperate with the emperor. Seeing the other party's expression, he opened his mouth and smiled again: "But what good news has been received from Qinghai?"
"The emperor laughed and shook Concubine Hua's hand. News came from Qinghai that Nian Gengyao had quelled the Qinghai rebellion and defeated Lobudan and the Khorchin rebels, winning a great victory."
"The emperor's tone seemed a little excited. What a great Nian Gengyao, what a great General Nian! The emperor's expression made Concubine Hua smile even more."
"Brother, serving the Emperor loyally is your duty. You do not deserve such praise from the Emperor!"
"Your brother is out there fighting on the battlefield, and you're in the palace taking care of palace affairs. You two are doing very well!"
"When the emperor said this, Concubine Hua showed a hint of shame on her face and lowered her head slightly. Thank you very much for the praise!"
"Everyone present looked at the two people with different expressions. Today is the third princess's full moon banquet, but the emperor has not mentioned the child since he entered the Yanxi Palace."
"Her heart and eyes are filled with only Concubine Hua. Yixiu is naturally happy to flatter the emperor, but that doesn't mean she is willing to endure Concubine Hua being proud in front of her all the time."
"Seeing that the two of them finally settled on this topic, she smiled and said: This is indeed a great event. Your Majesty is a wise and intelligent person. I congratulate you."
"After finishing speaking, she turned her eyes and continued, "Today is the full moon banquet of the third princess. I have just seen the third princess myself. She was taken good care of by Concubine Shu."
"Shupin, why don't you quickly have someone bring the third princess up for the emperor to see?"
"An Lingrong was not in a hurry. She turned her gaze to the emperor and saw him nod slightly before she smiled and said, "Qiufang, why don't you hurry up and bring the third princess up."
"Qiu Fang responded and went down. The emperor glanced at the whole audience. Not everyone was present today. Everyone naturally knew who the emperor was asking, but no one else could reply."
"An Lingrong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is pregnant and cannot go out." The Emperor just asked casually and did not dwell on it! Seeing Qiufang leading the people in, he waved his hand to signal An Lingrong to sit down."
"Hurry up and bring the third princess over so I can have a look," the nurse responded, stepped forward, held the princess in her arms and knelt down, saying, "The little princess pays her respects to the emperor!" As she finished speaking, she held the princess closer to him.
"The emperor lowered his head and glanced at her twice, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. 'Well, she has indeed gained some weight, which shows that Concubine Shu has taken great care of her.'
"The emperor has entrusted the little princess to my care. I should do my best to live up to the emperor's trust. Of course, I feel more at ease with you taking care of the princess!"
The emperor smiled and nodded, and then said, "Su Peisheng, present what I prepared for the princess, yes!"
"Su Peisheng stepped forward with a silver plate in his hand and placed it in front of An Lingrong, 'Empress Shupin! ' An Lingrong turned her head and saw a pair of jasper bracelets with excellent water content on the silver plate.
"An Lingrong was very confused. How could she give a bracelet to a child? But just as this thought flashed through her mind, the emperor spoke up: I thought that everyone in the palace would come to congratulate the princess on her full moon today."
"Everything I send is suitable for her current needs. This pair of bracelets is something I just got. Although they are not suitable for her at the moment, I will keep them for her. I'm sure they will be useful to her, General."
"An Lingrong doesn't care what the other party gives her, nor does she care what the other party says. As long as the other party comes, the princess will no longer be a child that the emperor father doesn't like."
"That's enough. Stand up and kneel before the emperor. I bow to him. Your Majesty has thought of everything. I, your concubine, would like to thank you on behalf of the princess for your grace."
"With the emperor present, the full moon banquet was held in an orderly manner, and no one dared to make trouble! It was precisely because of his presence that the atmosphere was less joyful."
"Nian Gengyao has made great contributions today, so there is no need to display the plaque, and there is no need to wait until dark. The emperor took Concubine Hua to the Yikun Palace just after lunch."
Let her save face in front of all the concubines.
"An Lingrong didn't care about this matter at first, and sent everyone away with a normal look. Not long after she returned to the main hall and sat down, Qiufang pushed the door open and came in, "Your Majesty, Madam Fucha is here!"
He frowned. I didn't hear that she handed in the card today? Why did she suddenly enter the palace now?
"I have asked someone to ask her, and she said that she had handed in a sign to Jingren Palace, and the Empress agreed! She sneered and said that she was busy at the moment and asked her to wait in the West Warm Pavilion!"
Yes!
"Qiufang responded and was about to turn around and leave when she saw Yangui hurried in with a suspicious look on his face. Seeing this, Qiufang's steps towards the outside immediately stopped!"
"After a while, Yan Gui also hurriedly came forward and said, "Madam, have you found out anything about the Fu Cha lady outside? An Lingrong smiled and raised her head, tell us about it!"
"My Lady, the person who contacted Madam Fucha is someone who lives in the west side hall of Zhongcui Palace and is close to the noble Borjigit!"
"Who?"
An Lingrong looked at Yan Gui in astonishment and was stunned for a moment.
"Borjigit? This transparent existence has almost disappeared from my memory. After all, in my past and present lives, she has never caught the emperor's eye, and has never revealed herself in front of the people in the harem."
"Even now, even when paying respects to the Queen, we rarely see him. How could such a person, who is almost extinct in the palace, have such connections to do such a thing?"
Such a result left An Lingrong extremely puzzled.
"Your Highness, this is the person who met with Madam Fucha last time. Our people saw her enter the Zhongcui Palace with their own eyes. Now, only Noblewoman Borjigit lives in the Zhongcui Palace."
"Yan Gui paused here and continued, "To be on the safe side, I have asked someone quietly, and that person is indeed someone close to the noblewoman Borjigit of Zhongcui Palace."
"An Lingrong paused, still a little unconvinced, but then she thought, Borjigit's special status seems to make the emperor more wary than Concubine Hua."
"The relationship with the grassland nowadays doesn't seem to be as close as it was during the time of the previous emperor. The emperor could let a general's sister use something as good as Huan Yi Xiang, so how could he let Borjigit give birth to a child with grassland blood?"
I guess his life in the palace is not going to be easy!
"In this way, it is not difficult to understand why the other party wants to raise a princess! But all this is based on the premise that Borjigit also saw through this."
