The Crown Princess and Concubine Cao were having such a quarrel. Hong Yu knew something was wrong and secretly sent a message to the Crown Prince.
The prince immediately abandoned a bunch of guests and rushed over. Sure enough, he encountered this tense scene! He was furious in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face.
Concubine Cao sneered: "The prince came just in time. I was humiliated in the East Palace today. The prince is so aggressive that she even chased me away for a trivial matter. The prince must give me an explanation."
The prince's brows did not move and his voice was calm: "I know the princess's temper very well. She will not lose her temper for no reason."
Concubine Cao: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Concubine Cao was so angry that her eyebrows stood up!
Everyone was also shocked!
Everyone knows that the prince dotes on the prince concubine. In the past, one was the prince and the other was the prince's concubine. The love between husband and wife did not bother anyone, so everyone thought it was a funny thing to mention.
But now, King Yan is no ordinary prince, he is the crown prince of a country. He must pay attention to the word of etiquette in everything.
Concubine Cao is the highest-ranking concubine in the harem and an elder. The prince actually has no intention of apologizing and just opens his mouth to protect the prince!
I'm afraid this matter is going to cause a big fuss today!
The prince walked up to the princess, glanced quickly, and made sure that the princess was just angry with a sullen face. Then he relaxed a little. The princess whispered angrily: "Just now, the princess hugged the child, and her nails made a red mark on the child's face. In my heart
Extremely angry!”
There was anger in the prince's eyes, but his voice was still gentle: "Go and see the child first. Don't be afraid, I will take care of everything."
I have everything.
When the Crown Princess heard these four words from the time she got married, she nodded and left habitually, leaving the prince to clean up the mess.
In the eyes of all the female relatives, it was like eating a sour lemon, not to mention the taste.
Concubine Cao stared at the prince fiercely: "Prince, how do you plan to deal with today's affairs?"
The prince said calmly: "The princess is eager to protect her grandson, but her tone was a little harsh at the moment. If I have offended the noble concubine, I will apologize to the noble concubine on her behalf."
Before Concubine Cao could speak, she added: "Today the East Palace is busy and noisy. Concubine always likes to be quiet. I'm afraid she won't get used to it after staying for a long time. I will ask the grandson to take the concubine back to Ganquan Palace to have a rest."
This is to drive people away!
Everyone was stunned.
Concubine Cao was extremely angry and laughed back: "Don't bother me, Grandson, I have my own legs."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Concubine Tian Shu hesitated for a moment and then left.
Several princes and concubines looked at each other, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
The prince had already looked over: "The prince has a straightforward personality and cares about the children. Today's quarrel with the imperial concubine is not a big deal. My sister-in-law and my two younger siblings can just stay here with peace of mind."
After the prince spoke, Princess Qin, Princess Zhao, Princess Zhao and Princess Han couldn't leave anymore, so they stepped down from the stage: "The prince said so."
"When the teeth are still touching the tongue, it's just a few quarrels, not worth mentioning."
Everyone said something to each other, and finally everything was settled.
The princess had entered the inner room at this time, and the wet nurse was feeding her milk. The child finally stopped crying at the top of her voice. However, the red mark on her face was still very obvious.
To attack such a young child is worse than a pig or a dog.
The Crown Princess held back her anger and whispered: "The Crown Princess is still in confinement, so it's not appropriate to get angry. Don't tell her what happened just now."
"Also, wait until the mark on the child's face fades before you take the child over. If the concubine asks, just say that the child is with me."
The nannies and the palace people responded in unison.
…
On this side, Concubine Cao rushed out of the East Palace in anger. The more she thought about it, the more humiliated she felt.
She has been in charge of the harem for more than ten years, and has never suffered such injustice. She is going to Cining Palace now to file a complaint in front of Empress Dowager Cao.
After walking a few steps, Concubine Cao changed her mind again.
Even at her age, Empress Dowager Cao had to be supported when walking. It was useless to tell Empress Dowager Cao. She had to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and cry in front of Emperor Long'an.
"Isn't your concubine going to Cining Palace?" Concubine Tian Shu asked in surprise.
Concubine Cao was not happy to let Concubine Tian Shu watch the fun, and said coldly: "Concubine Shu doesn't need to worry about where I want to go. You go back to Cuiwei Palace first."
Concubine Tian Shu had no choice but to go back to her bedroom. After entering Cuiwei Palace, she curled her lips and said, "What's there to be proud of?"
"She's not a queen, she's just a noble concubine. She went to the East Palace to set up the family tree for her elders. Today she kicked the iron bricks and lost all her face. She deserves it."
"Do you think it will be useful to complain to the Hall of Supreme Harmony? The emperor can't destroy the East Palace for such a trivial matter. Just wait and humiliate yourself!"
…
"Your Majesty, I am really too shameless to see anyone again."
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Concubine Cao knelt in front of Emperor Long'an, crying sadly with red eyes: "I went to the East Palace to congratulate you with good intentions. I saw that the child Yuxue was cute, so I hugged the child for a while. I accidentally touched the child's face with my fingernails.
.The Yuan family refused to give up and kicked out the concubines."
"When the prince comes, he always looks towards the princess."
"How can I, my concubine, have the face and palm to take care of the harem? The emperor should send the phoenix seal to the East Palace to the Crown Princess! Anyway, sooner or later, this world belongs to the prince. I think the princess has already disliked my concubine, and I wish I could
I hand over the phoenix seal."
The last two sentences are very insidious and full of instigation.
Emperor Long'an is weak and weak, and now he no longer goes to court, and most of the government affairs in the court are handed over to the prince. The prince has great power and does not pay attention to Concubine Cao. Maybe he is hoping that Emperor Long'an will die soon!
Emperor Long'an's eyes turned gloomy indeed.
Concubine Cao was secretly happy and continued to cry: "Your Majesty, I beg you boldly to ask the King of Han to grant the vassal status as soon as possible. I also followed the King of Han to leave the capital and go to the vassal land to retire. In order to avoid being disliked in the harem."
Emperor Long'an's face became colder and colder: "I'm not dead yet."
Concubine Cao burst into tears and ranny nose: "I made a blunder for a moment, and I had no intention of cursing the emperor. The emperor is my heaven, and the support of me and the King of Han. To be disrespectful, the only person inside and outside this palace is
My concubine, mother and son hope that the Emperor will live a long life..."
"Shut up!" Emperor Long'an suddenly shouted harshly: "You are slandering the East Palace every word, because you want me to turn against the prince and his son!"
Concubine Cao was shocked, her face turned pale, and she looked at Emperor Long'an in disbelief.
Emperor Long'an said coldly: "Go back to your Ganquan Palace. If there are any rumors in the palace that are detrimental to the East Palace, you are the only one I can ask!"
Concubine Cao's heart fell straight into the ice cellar, and even the warm breath in her chest was almost gone.
The Crown Princess got into trouble, and the Crown Prince protected the Crown Princess without hesitation. She was humiliated, and Emperor Long'an not only failed to support her, but instead scolded her harshly!
In Emperor Long'an's heart, the East Palace was the most important.
Donggong must not lose her dignity, but the dignity of her, a noble concubine, is not worth mentioning.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and I will retire!"
