Chapter 103 Controversy over the Second Concubine
Seeing this, Fu Guiyun was very pleased, and still arranged for Nanny Zhang to come and take care of Fangyi's daily life personally. When she learned that a dispute had occurred in the outer hall, she hurried over.
Seeing Aunt Fang still not looking happy, Xinghong frowned slightly: "Aunt, do you think that Nanny Zhang is useless? I will ask the Crown Prince's Consort to arrange a new personal nanny for you."
"Mrs. Zhang is of course very thoughtful."
Fangyi knew that Aunt Zhang was not to blame for what happened to Aunt Ji.
It was a safe arrangement by the Crown Prince's wife, because Nanny Zhang had failed before, so she would be more careful this time.
"Xinghong, stop guessing what I'm thinking."
Fang Yi said, "I am just making myself uncomfortable."
It would be self-deception to say that she had no illusions about the Crown Prince. However, after listening to the words of the Crown Prince's Consort and Aunt Qi, she became much more cheerful.
Being able to be a concubine in the palace and being loved by such a generous mistress, what else could she be dissatisfied about?
Thinking of the Crown Prince's wife's affection in her heart, she finally smiled with relief: "Xinghong, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to give birth to this child."
"That's pretty much it."
Xinghong's sad expression immediately disappeared. She took the supplements and brocade sent by the Crown Prince's Consort and boasted with a smile, "Look, Auntie, the Crown Prince's Consort loves you so much. I'm afraid there won't be another mistress with such a kind heart in Liyang City."
"Yes."
Fangyi couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Ever since she became a concubine, she never felt like the Crown Prince's woman. Instead, she felt like she was the Crown Prince's wife's concubine.
Apart from that one night of pleasure, she could no longer think of any favors the prince had done for her.
Thinking of this, she felt even more grateful for the Crown Prince's Consort's kindness.
When Fu Guiyun rushed to the circular hall in the outer hall, Lu Linchu had a sullen face and slapped the table next to him hard.
"I just want to establish a concubine, but you guys want to stop me. Huaixi is the daughter of the Chu County Magistrate after all, and her status is not lowly. It's already unfair for her not to be able to marry her openly. This time, I will establish a concubine sooner or later, so why are you forcing me?"
The brothers Lu Linfeng and Lu Linzhi sat upright below, with sullen faces and keeping silent.
Several officials in the palace had different expressions on their faces, and they only dared to look at the two young masters cautiously and secretly.
Xu Jinzhou, who was standing beside Lu Linchu, smiled and said when he saw the Crown Prince's wife coming in: "If I were to say, the Crown Prince is favored by His Majesty, and our Liyang Palace is also highly valued by His Majesty. The Crown Prince just wants to establish a concubine, which is not wrong. What's more, Miss Huaixi is truly in love with the Crown Prince. This time, she almost died to protect the Crown Prince. She is so loyal, and she should be properly arranged."
Lu Linfeng was speechless after hearing this, and thought: What kind of prince is she protecting? The man in white was only there to kill her.
Seeing Fu Guiyun coming in calmly, everyone stood up and bowed. After she took her seat, Lu Linzhi said slowly, "Early and late are completely different. Please be cautious, my lord."
After saying this, he looked at Xu Jinzhou meaningfully and curled his lips: "Xu Changshi was sent by the court. As the left chief of the palace, the head of the palace officials, he should know the court rules and etiquette better than me. What is your intention in indulging and provoking the prince? Could it be that you have forgotten your duty in order to flatter the prince?"
Xu Jinzhou choked up when he heard this, and had to turn to look at Fu Guiyun: "Crown Princess, I am only concerned about the reputation of the palace. Chu Qinghe is an official appointed by the court after all, and her daughter is willing to come and serve the Crown Prince. She should have a decent status, and we cannot let the officials from all over the country be disheartened by this."
"What respectability does he want?"
Lu Linfeng was so angry that he slammed the table in front of Lu Linchu: "Chu Qinghe claims to be an official appointed by the court, but he has taught his own daughter without any rules. How can he privately give her away without the permission of his parents or the matchmaker?"
"A girl from such a family, who despises herself so much, is no different from a girl from a brothel?"
These words really made Lu Linchu feel extremely embarrassed.
He glanced sinisterly at His Highness's eldest brother, feeling angry but unable to refute him.
Lu Linfeng continued to talk to himself: "If the Chu family father and daughter get what they want, it will be a huge joke. In the future, all the women from official families in the Great Kang Dynasty will follow suit. They can disregard shame and etiquette just for their own selfishness?"
Xu Jinzhou had no choice but to continue facing Fu Guiyun and said, "Princess, what do you think about this?"
"Xu Changshi, why do you have to embarrass the Crown Prince's Consort?"
Lu Linfeng's face became more gloomy: "Do you think that the Crown Prince's Concubine is kind and merciful, and that this is a bargaining chip for you to threaten her?"
Xu Jinzhou was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly knelt down and begged for forgiveness: "I dare not, I just don't want to see the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have a rift because of this."
At this time, Lu Chen and Ye Zhilan both rushed over.
Looking at the situation in the hall, Lu Chen did not look happy.
"Xu Changshi is really considerate to the prince."
Lu Chen glared at Lu Linchu, who was standing up to greet him, and said sternly, "His father is almost half buried in the ground, and he has never appointed any concubines or conferred any wives. Could it be that his son thinks he has done more than his father and wants to have three thousand beauties in his harem just a few months after getting married?"
Lu Linchu and Xu Jinzhou were both terrified when they heard this. Xu Jinzhou was so scared that he quickly lowered his head and said, "I dare not."
Ye Zhilan had long seen through Xu Jinzhou's ill intentions. From Du Jiuniang, to Yunling, and to the room full of vixens in Muxiangzhai, none of them did not have Xu Jinzhou's instigation. Now he was bringing up the idea of the Crown Prince's second concubine. He was simply trying to harm his son to death.
"Xu Changshi, you are stretching your hand too far."
Ye Zhilan glanced at him with a fake smile: "As the head of the government officials, the imperial court specially appointed the chief secretary, you should be clear about your duties, to enforce the government orders of the government and supervise the princes of a region. If the princes are immoral, you should assist and advise them. How can you break the ancestral system and cause trouble for the palace just to curry favor with him?"
"Wei Chen is guilty."
Xu Jinzhou did not dare to remonstrate again and quickly begged for mercy: "I am willing to accept the punishment."
"How dare you."
Ye Zhilan sneered: "My Liyang Palace is loyal to the emperor and the country, and we will naturally be respectful to the messenger sent by Your Majesty. But if Xu Changshi has evil intentions and wants to sow discord between the emperor and his subjects and ruin the reputation of my palace, then don't blame me for being ruthless. I can only eliminate the treacherous and stingy people to protect the friendship between the emperor and his subjects."
"Yes."
Xu Jinzhou immediately became docile: "I will remember the princess's teachings."
Fu Guiyun has already realized that the matter is not simple. If Chu Huaixi is not properly settled, it may bring even greater disaster.
Since all these women who wanted to get close to the prince claimed that they had no ulterior motives, she wanted to see today whether the girl from the Chu family had the same determination as Yun Ling and whether she could endure humiliation.
"Your Highness sympathizes with Miss Chu's plight and wants to help her, which is understandable, but as a subject, he cannot violate the rules of etiquette."
Looking at Lu Linchu, Fu Guiyun said calmly, "It just so happens that I came here today because I have good news to tell the prince, father, and mother. Concubine Fang is pregnant, and the prince needs someone to serve him. I have several candidates. Caidie in front of me is gentle and lovely, and Wanniang is the prince's favorite and knows her limits. Why not take Concubine Fang together with Miss Chu?"
She smiled softly and continued, "I think that County Magistrate Chu is willing to send his daughter to your residence without saying anything. I think he doesn't care about those false reputations and only wants to serve you wholeheartedly. Do you think this is a good idea, my Lord?"
After hearing this, Lu Linchu's face immediately darkened.
Raising a concubine, isn't this equivalent to selling Huaixi to the palace?
After all, she is the daughter of an official.
