Chapter 19 Punishment

The prince got up early in the inner room to eat breakfast. Concubine Lin came in with a smile, and took the tray in Ye Er's hand. There was a plate of appetizers on the tray. The prince leaned against the bedside, showing no expression. Concubine Lin Bending down, he moved the appetizer to a place where the prince can easily grab it, and said with a smile: "My lord, eat some appetizers to improve your appetite."

The prince suddenly threw the porridge bowl in his hand into the tray, and said in a deep voice, "I won't eat."

The smile on Concubine Lin's face froze, she forced a smile and said, "My lord, you haven't eaten much since yesterday, how is your body suffering?"

"Where is the princess?" The prince looked directly at Concubine Lin and said, "Call the concubine here, this porridge is not as good as the one cooked by the concubine."

"My lord, yesterday the concubine messed with the mother and the lord was unhappy, and I'm still learning the rules. When I learn the rules, let him serve the lord." Concubine Lin tried her best to ignore the uneasy looking directly at him, and said, "I'm going to invite you." Over cooks, invite the best cooks here to cook porridge for the prince."

The prince said word by word: "Call the princess."

Concubine Lin couldn't laugh anymore, she got up and stood beside the bed, and said hesitantly: "Mother personally said that the concubine should learn the rules, and I dare not make my own way to invite the concubine over here."

"You don't dare to tell this king, where is the princess now?" The prince lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed and put on his shoes.

Concubine Lin hurried to help the prince, and said: "Your prince, don't go out to blow the air. The doctor said that your prince needs to rest."

The prince threw off Concubine Lin and went straight to the door. Concubine Lin panicked, Ye Er rushed to grab the coat, Concubine Lin grabbed it and chased him out, shouting behind the prince: "Your Highness must not go out, Mother should be sad when she finds out, even if the prince doesn’t listen to my concubine, he still needs to put on his coat, if he goes out like this, he will catch the cold.”

Behind him hurriedly followed a large group of maids and nurses. The prince had long feet and long hands, and he walked very quickly. He strode towards the west. The concubine was sweating profusely after chasing after her, and the nanny who served Concubine Lin stepped forward to help him, Concubine Lin said anxiously: "Go and stop the prince."

Wang Momo said: "I dare not stop the prince, you should catch up with him quickly, otherwise the old concubine will get angry, and I'm afraid it will be your fault."

Concubine Lin wiped the sweat from her head with a handkerchief and said, "Did you go to Tongniang?"

"Ask the little girl to go, the old concubine should know by now." Wang Momo said.

Yu Cheng hadn't been released from the firewood room yet. The two nuns stood guard on the left and the right, and moved a chair for Yu Cheng to sit like this, with only one-third of the chair, with his back straight and his head straight. Right, the whole body cannot move up and down, and if you move, you will be pricked by the two nuns.

This is the most effective trick the two nuns have learned over the years. The needle is very thin, leaving no marks in the flesh, and it hurts. It can make people dumb and eat Coptis chinensis.

On the way to the firewood house, the prince was stopped by the old concubine who rushed over before he stepped into the courtyard: "Where are you going?"

"Mother." The prince stopped and saluted the old concubine.

"The illness is not cured yet. If you suffer from the wind and cold again, how can you make mother feel at ease? Isn't it enough to worry about now?" The old princess said with moist eyes: "Mother's only hope is you, why don't you lie down and rest your body properly?" keep."

The prince didn't speak, and stood aside. The old princess knew that her son hadn't given up, so she said, "You didn't even put on your coat. You've cut your mother's heart a few times, and your mother's heart is bleeding. If you don't go back, take good care of him." What's the point of living, mother? Mother desperately went to the palace to beg for mercy, disregarded her status to seek a doctor, and lived in fear every day, all for what?" As she spoke, she turned her head away, tears streaming down, and the people around her Mammy hurriedly handed over a handkerchief to wipe away the tears of the old princess.

"Mother, stop talking, I'll go back right away." The prince turned around and left.

The old concubine wiped away her tears, looked at her son who was going away, and said to Concubine Lin: "Take care of the concubine, if the prince comes again, no matter what method you use, you must stop him, otherwise there will be no rules in the house."

Concubine Lin bowed her knees respectfully and said, "Yes."

The old concubine took a deep breath and said, "Let's put the ones at home first, and you can move to the prince's house right away. You can't miss the medicine you should drink, and the food you should eat. I don't worry about the others. Only You have served the lord for many years, and you are the most favored by the lord, this big thing is not as important as making the lord get better."

Concubine Lin said: "I will serve the prince well with all my heart."

"It's not enough to serve the prince well." The old concubine said: "The prince has not been there until now, and you have married in for many years, and there has been no movement. I don't blame you. It's just that if you have such an opportunity, you must seize it. Don't let the mother It's been a long time."

Concubine Lin said in surprise and shame: "I understand."

"En." The old concubine was supported by the nanny beside her, and she said to the respectful Concubine Lin as she walked, "If you can give birth to a son and a half without hurting the prince, the position of the concubine is still yours." of."

Concubine Lin was overjoyed, knelt down in front of the old concubine and said, "I know what to do."

What the old concubine is most satisfied with is Concubine Lin. She has a certain amount of advances and retreats, understands the rules, and can be regarded as coming from a big family. In the past few years, whether in front of the prince or in front of him, she has kept her duty and managed the palace. The matter here saved a lot of heart.

Back in the house, the prince was lying on the bed with exhaustion on his face, eyes closed, the old princess did not disturb, but took a look, and was supported by Concubine Lin back to her room, Concubine Lin settled the old concubine , and then went to the prince's house. On the way, Wang Momo supported Concubine Lin and looked around. Seeing that the maids were following at a distance of half a meter, she lowered her voice and said, "I have what the old princess said personally. , you don’t have any scruples, how will you live in the palace in the future if you haven’t given birth to a son and a half daughter, the prince seems to be in good spirits recently, and after a few more days of recuperation, maybe you can do it.”

Concubine Lin paused, and said: "Mother Wang, you can't talk nonsense, even if a mother speaks up, you still have to take care of the prince's health. Without the prince, I am nothing in this family. It’s good to be able to give birth smoothly, if you don’t conceive, the prince will be gone again, it’s not worse.”

"Miss, Wang Momo watched you grow up, and Wang Momo can still harm you." Wang Momo said: "If Miss is worried about the prince's health, just wait for a while. For a woman, this matter between a man and a woman can be flexible, as long as the lady can put down her face and suppress her shyness, it will be possible."

Concubine Lin blushed, and glanced at the maid behind her, seeing that no one heard her, she asked sternly as she walked, "How could Mother Wang know this?"

"Miss also knows that I haven't lived at home for more than ten years. Even if I go back, I will go back every few years, and I will leave in less than half a day." Wang Momo seemed to remember something sad, and said, "I'm not afraid that Miss will be disgusted. The guy in my family liked women since he was young, and ran to the fireworks field when he had a little money. In the first few years of marriage, he was not as good as me. He only liked the style of women outside. He gritted his teeth and endured it for several times In [-], after giving birth to three children, she stayed with Miss on the pretext of making money to subsidize the family."

Concubine Lin's face suddenly showed a strange color, but she had heard more or less that the affairs of Wang Momo's family, but she didn't expect it to be worse than she thought. Concubine Lin walked forward quickly, struggling in her heart. All the maids and nuns bowed their knees and saluted: "Princess Lin Fang."

Everyone used to call him Wangfei, but now I have to add two words in front of it, sitting on an equal footing with Princess Yuxi, and giving up the position to a man. A complicated expression flashed on Concubine Lin's face. Over the years, the prince has been working for the emperor, isn't he? Concubine Lin looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, thinking of the tranquility and loneliness in the palace, and said cruelly to Madam Wang: " Madam Wang will serve me tonight."

Nanny Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Listen to Miss's orders."

Concubine Lin sat quietly in the outer room, picked up the teacup, took a quick sip if she hadn't come yet, a maid came to report, and Yufu sent someone to ask the prince and princess when they would leave for the door. "

Concubine Lin just woke up. Today is the princess's three-day return. Looking at the inner room, Concubine Lin said: "Go and tell the people in Yufu that the prince is not in the mood to accompany the concubine back home today. Please don't wait in Yufu. , when the prince recovers, he will accompany the concubine to Yufu."

The maid ordered her to go down, Wang Momo came over with soup, and said in a low voice: "Miss, I've had some soup, this soup will help you conceive a small child soon."

Concubine Lin picked it up, drank it straight away, put down the soup bowl, and said to Nanny Wang: "Tonight, I should transfer the prince to Aunt Yu's room. Go and tell Aunt Yu that the prince is in a bad mood today. Because the concubine doesn't know the rules, she made the mother and the prince angry, so Aunt Yu doesn't have to wait for the door, she just needs to rest earlier."

Wang Momo answered "Yes", stepped forward, and whispered in Concubine Lin's ear: "Today, I will leave the mansion and go home, and bring the book hidden by the hole at home. helpful."

Concubine Lin blushed slightly, knowing what kind of book Mother Wang was talking about, she straightened her body and said, "Hurry up and come back, bring the money back, and treat it as my reward."

"Thank you miss." Wang Momo withdrew.
