Chapter 120 Humiliation
Chapter 120 Humiliation
He understood that his mother had suffered so much because of this unfilial son.
Concubine Shu!
Wanpin!
Hongshi remembered these two people.
"Thank you, Her Majesty, for the information. Hongshi will take his leave."
Now that he has retreated, he may never come to Jingren Palace again.
The palace gate darkened and then brightened, and the spiritless young man gradually disappeared outside the palace gate.
The queen stroked her belly with satisfaction.
"Mother's Honghui, no one can stand in your way."
The only child raised by the emperor is you.
The palace maid who came in to clean up the mess accidentally caught a glimpse of the queen's distorted expression and was so scared that she almost knocked over the teacup in her hand.
Jianqiu glanced at her and stepped forward to report.
"Your Majesty, Prince Hongshi ran into Concubine Ke from the Yanxi Palace outside, and the two were talking."
"Then go and take a look, don't let Hongshi offend Concubine Ke."
Concubine Ke, whose figure is becoming increasingly plump, cannot afford to make any mistakes for the time being.
Only when the emperor has experienced the pain of a ripe melon not falling off the stem will he value his only son more.
When Jianqiu went out, Kepin had already gone far away and Hongshi was nowhere to be seen.
After returning to the Yanx Palace, Concubine Ke complained angrily.
"Tell me, how can I be inferior to Zhen Huan?"
The personal maid hurried forward to persuade her.
"Your Majesty, don't listen to the nonsense of an outsider. You are pregnant with the dragon fetus, and the emperor often asks Eunuch Su to send you rewards."
"How can Wanpin, who couldn't even see the emperor during her confinement, compare to you?"
"When you give birth to a prince in the future, Wanpin will have the privilege of paying her respects to you."
The pregnant master was moody, so the imperial physician asked them to be as accommodating as possible.
"Your Highness, I've got some mutton and a chicken from the kitchen. How about I make you a mutton hotpot, clear chicken soup, and mushroom-roasted chicken for lunch? What do you think?"
When talking about food, Concubine Ke, with an empty stomach, nodded without hesitation and added.
"I'm tired of eating rock sugar bird's nest. Ask the kitchen to make hibiscus bird's nest. You can decide on the other dishes."
A large box of bird's nests was delivered to her home, enough for her to eat in different ways.
After giving the order, Concubine Ke, while drinking honey water, stared at her bulging belly with satisfaction.
The short-lived Concubine Qi was right in one thing: the dragon fetus must be nourished from a young age.
Concubine Ke had a contented lunch, and she recalled what Concubine Hua said when she came to pay her respects: "Plant bamboo at home and your descendants will enjoy happiness."
He clapped his chubby little hands and decided to go to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the bamboo forest.
Not long after his promotion, the Imperial Household Department sent him a sedan chair, which made it convenient for him to travel.
Sitting in the sedan chair, she looked down at the palace maids who were paying their respects along the palace road, and greater ambitions arose in her heart.
There is only one third of the four concubines. If she gives birth to a prince, it is not impossible to have some desire for her.
While Concubine Ke was dreaming of becoming a concubine, Zhen Huan in Sui Yuxuan ate some vegetarian dishes and put down her bowl and chopsticks.
"Liu Zhu, I haven't touched these meat dishes yet. Take them away and divide them up."
"Master, please use more. If the master and his wife saw how thin you are now, they would definitely feel distressed."
Liu Zhu tried hard to persuade him.
"I don't have any more. How's the milk and water chestnut flour cake that Chun'er likes to eat going?"
"Your Majesty, I have already put it in the food box."
"Okay, Baizhi will follow me to Zhongcui Palace. The others don't need to follow."
She wanted Chun'er, who was recuperating in bed, to eat some delicious pastries.
"Baizhi, Chun'er probably needs to rest after dinner, so let's go faster."
Anxious Zhen Huan turned around and gave orders.
"Okay, my lady, be careful..."
Before Bai Zhi's outstretched hand touched her master, she heard a loud slap.
"Princess Wan, the Imperial Garden has such a spacious path, why did you have to bump into me?"
"Are you planning to murder my dragon fetus?"
Kepin, who was holding a bamboo stick in her left hand, couldn't help but start to think conspiracy theories.
"Sister Kebin, I didn't mean it. Zhongcui Palace..."
It would have been fine if Zhen Huan didn't mention Zhongcui Palace. Once she did, Concubine Ke thought of the rude palace maid who had also offended her.
"Someone come! Wanpin deliberately bumped into the dragon fetus, bring her to me."
"Empress Kepin, our master did not mean to offend you, please understand."
Bai Zhi stood in front of Zhen Huan and stretched out her hands to prevent several palace maids from approaching.
When Zhen Huan saw them, she pushed Bai Zhi to the ground and questioned them harshly.
"Sister Kepin, you and I are both concubines. Even if I accidentally bumped into you, it should be the Queen's decision."
"How dare you resort to lynching?"
Concubine Ke paused holding the bamboo stick, and suddenly realized.
"Thank you, Sister Wanpin, for the reminder."
"The sun is scorching here, and I'm feeling a little dizzy. Please ask Sister Wanpin to accompany me to the rockery to talk."
After Zhen Huan and her servant were dragged to the rockery, Concubine Ke slapped Zhen Huan again without saying a word.
"Sister Wanpin, have you gone through the pain of losing your own child, so you can't bear to see others have an easy life?"
She was as vicious as Concubine Chun in Zhongcui Palace and would offend her whenever she got the chance.
Zhen Huan glared at her fiercely without saying a word.
She finally realized that Concubine Ke was taking the opportunity to find trouble.
No matter how she explains, she will not be let off this time.
"Sister Wanpin, please don't look at me like that."
"You were the one who first intended to murder the heir to the throne. Even if you report this to the Empress, I am not afraid of you."
Hongshi, who was rejected by the emperor and adopted by him, was so blind that he mistook her for Zhen Huan and came to pay his respects.
He said that he had heard of Concubine Wan's beauty for a long time, and as long as she gave birth to a child safely, she would definitely become the number one in the harem.
When the palace maid beside him revealed her identity, the blind Hongshi's face changed immediately and he wished he could jump eight feet away.
Without even asking for an invitation, he turned and ran away.
It was as if she was a jackal, tiger or leopard.
The more Concubine Ke thought about it, the angrier she became. The angrier she became, the more she thought about it. She picked up the bamboo stick in her hand and hit Zhen Huan on the head.
Bai Zhi wanted to save her master, but was pinned to the ground and unable to move.
She had no choice but to remind him loudly.
"Empress Kepin, I went to Zhongcui Palace earlier to inform her that she would be visiting Concubine Chun."
"Mrs. Chun has always missed the milk and water chestnut flour cake from Suiyuxuan. If you don't come by the agreed time..."
Given Fang Jiachun's usual greed, he would definitely send someone out to look for it.
Concubine Ke stopped what she was doing and glared at the sharp-tongued Bai Zhi.
"This maid's words offended me. Make her kneel outside for an hour."
Kneeling on the ground in humiliation, Zhen Huan could only watch Bai Zhi being dragged away.
Does she deserve to be bullied because she is not favored and cannot get pregnant?
