Prince's Revenge

Chapter 18

Queen's bedroom

During a cup of tea, a little eunuch knelt in front of Queen Narwan, reporting something in a low voice. There were only Queen Narwan and her personal maid Uzhina in the room. Na let them go out.

For a while, Na Erwan didn't speak. The little eunuch secretly raised his head to look at the always generous Queen. He was startled and shivered all over. The Queen's eyes were as cold as a snake, without any warmth.

"Don't tell anyone about today's matter, just reveal half a word, and be careful with your head. Uzhina, reward." The queen's gentle voice sounded, and the little eunuch received the reward, and quickly exited the house. The sun was shining outside, and he had A feeling of survival after a catastrophe.

"How is the princess?"

"Just like before, I read books and practice calligraphy all day long." Uzhina replied cautiously, not knowing why the queen turned the topic to the princess. The little eunuch just now clearly reported about the third prince.

Speaking of her dear daughter, Na Erwan returned to her previous kindness, with a helpless tone in her tone: "I would have been very happy if I could calm down to read books and practice calligraphy earlier, but now that she is working so hard, I am really uneasy. Uzhina, what do you think is going on with Du'er? It's time for a big marriage, right?"

Uzhina carefully said: "What the empress said is that the third prince is twenty-seven this year, and he doesn't care about it. The empress has to tell the emperor. There are no suitable women among the nobles of the He family. But we still have the Northern Third Division. The empress’s niece and Noble Concubine Bojin’s niece are also sixteen, and they are both of marriageable age, so they are a good match for the prince.”

Na Erwan smiled and said: "Yes, if you don't tell me, I will almost forget that the niece of Noble Concubine Bojin is not yet married."

"I heard that there is not yet!"

"Okay, go to the library and pick out some elegant things. Let's sit at the imperial concubine Bojin's place at night. Does the emperor still go to that Aru's place every day?" Naerwan suddenly mentioned Hedichi's recent The most beloved concubine, Aru, was originally a little maid who pruned flowers and plants in the palace. She was lucky enough to be spotted by Hedi Chi who was visiting the garden. From then on, He Dichi would go to Aru's place every night, and the other concubines had complained to Naerwan many times, but Naerwan thought that the emperor just looked at her fresh, and when the freshness passed, it would be fine, and she still Hinting at other concubines, the harem is the most jealous.Seeing that the empress is so calm, the others gradually stopped looking for her. They complained a lot in private, but they never stopped.Naerwan opened her eyes and closed her eyes. For three whole months, the emperor's novelty hadn't passed. She had two sons and a daughter, so she was naturally not afraid, but those concubines who didn't have sons suffered a lot.

Uzhina couldn't figure out why the queen suddenly asked such a question, and replied honestly: "Yes, the harem's resentment is getting bigger and bigger."

"Well, let them go, and they can't let them vent their anger, as long as they don't make too much trouble."

"Yes!"

Imperial Concubine Taiji's bedroom

"What did you do recently that made your father lose his temper!" Accompanied by He Yaoqian, the imperial concubine Taiji returned to the palace. Ask her son directly, what He Dichi said to reprimand He Yaoqian just now shocked her.

He Yaoqian's indifferent appearance was completely different from the nervous appearance in front of He Dichi just now. He snorted and said, "I didn't do anything. The second and third children have not stopped recently, I just Get rid of the factors that make them stop. Don't let irrelevant people break the harmony between us brothers."

Concubine Taiji lowered her face and said, "Don't be too careless, the second child is still the prince, and you can't be careless for a day until he is abolished."

He Yaoqian said with a sinister smile: "My mother, even if he is abolished, I still can't be careless. Every day I can't sit in that seat, I can't be careless every day."

Concubine Taiji hurriedly covered her son's mouth and whispered, "What nonsense!"

"What are you afraid of in the mother's bedroom?"

"Still be careful."

He Yaoqian thought to himself that his mother was too careful, but he didn't want to talk nonsense with his mother on this issue, and said, "Got it."

"It's good to know, what are you going to do about this Zong Qixiu?" Concubine Taiji changed the subject and turned the topic to Zong Qixiu.She got the news from He Yaoqian early in the morning, saying that Zong Yuke's nephew was going to enter the palace. She had a lot of fights with Zong Yuke back then, so she wanted to see what happened to this troubled Phoenix.In the end, she was greatly disappointed. The imperial concubine Bojin, He Yaodu and the emperor all defended him, but no one could hurt him at all, how convinced she was.

He Yaoqian said confidently: "Mother, don't worry, keep him first, he is still useful, he is the one who gives the empress the most headache."

"Oh!?" Concubine Taiji noticed He Yaodu's protection of Zong Qixiu, but she hadn't figured out what it had to do with the queen. As far as she knew, Zong Yuke had a good relationship with Naerwan However, Naerwan's children are also very close to Zong Yuke. Zong Yuke has no children, and loves Naerwan's children very much.

He Yaoqian said maliciously: "My third brother is not close to women. I thought he was a good man. I didn't expect him to be so good. It's beyond my expectation."

"What!" Concubine Taiji asked in surprise.

He Yaoqian said with a smile: "The third brother spent a lot of time on Zong Qixiu. A few days ago, he even contradicted the emperor because of Zong Qixiu's affairs. This is the first time for the always filial third brother. .”

Concubine Taiji said disgustedly: "The queen knows?"

"Maybe I didn't know it before, but not now. You just have to wait and see. The empress must be busy finding a suitable candidate for the third brother's concubine."

Concubine Taiji said: "This is a good thing for the third and second children. Marrying a noble concubine will increase their power a lot. Why are you happy?"

He Yaoqian laughed loudly: "What if the third child is an infatuated kind and just rejected it?"

"What nonsense! He's not a fool. Even if he's interested in men, he won't marry a wife and have children. It's not a big deal to play in private at most." Taiji Concubine said puzzled.

He Yaoqian smiled proudly: "Others may be able to, but my third brother may not be sure. Let's wait and see."

Concubine Taiji seemed to be thinking of something old, and she fell into deep thought. She glanced at her gloating son, wondering if she should tell the story, and worried that her son would be too complacent and show his feet.
