"But you can't say that about my son! If you dare to say it again, I will do it again!" Concubine Chong's eloquent words were lingering.
Zhu Biao and others are fine, but Zhu Di is almost in tears. I am so envious of him for having such a manly mother...
Just when everyone thought that Concubine Da Ding finally couldn't bear it anymore, she smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, I won't accuse your son of being foolish and stupid again. He will definitely have no future and he is the one you dislike the most."
A prince..."
His Royal Highness King Chu couldn't help but touch his nose. Is what she said true? Was I really so miserable?
‘Is she scolding Lao Liu...’ King Yan muttered in a low voice.
"It doesn't look like..." The prince shook his head.
Although this sounds strange, it is a statement after all. Concubine Chong is not a serious person, so she finally took the tea cup and took a symbolic sip.
Concubine Ding let out a long sigh of relief. This nightmare experience was finally over.
She said a few more words, and then excused herself as the palace door was about to close, and couldn't wait to leave, not wanting to stay any longer.
The clapper of the official hour had already sounded, the palace door was almost closing, and the concubine, surrounded by people, left the small courtyard where she had lived for nearly two months.
When I came to the front yard and was about to leave, I saw the dark courtyard kneeling on the ground. They were the female officials and palace officials from Nei'an Le Hall.
Concubine Hu Chong couldn't bear to look any longer, bowed deeply to everyone, and went out of the gate with the support of Na Miao Shanggong.
The door of Nei'an Le Hall slowly closed, and the crying voices of the women inside could be heard clearly:
"Take care, my dear, don't come back again..."
She held back her tears and nodded, looking up at the moon in the sky. Although she could see the same night sky when she was inside, the moon seemed particularly bright tonight.
Gently wiping away her tears, she went to the Crown Prince and King Yan as a concubine, and the King of Wu was blessed.
"During this period, Zhen'er has relied entirely on the Crown Prince. Your Highnesses have taken good care of you. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Please accept my respects first."
"Your Majesty, there is absolutely no way you can do this." The three princes hurriedly moved out of the way, and King Wu was even moved to tears.
Not for anything else, just because Concubine Chong has eyes for herself...
Zhu Biao hurriedly said to Concubine Chong: "Xie is our concubine, and Lao Liu is our biological brother. As a family, we should not talk to each other. Saying thank you would be too irritating."
"Yes, my dear, I would risk my life for my brother. It would be too boring to talk about those who have something and don't have it." Zhu Di also put his arms around Zhu Zhen's neck and pinched his cheeks affectionately. "Old Liu
, will you fight tooth and nail to save your eldest brother and fourth brother?"
"Yes, yes." Zhu Zhen nodded vigorously, broke away from Zhu Di's clutches and said: "There is also fifth brother."
"Good brother, I am also willing..." Zhu Xi burst into tears. Lao Liu not only had himself in his eyes, but also in his heart.
Seeing their brothers loving each other, Concubine Chong was overjoyed and kept wiping away her tears.
At this time, the bang sounded again, and the Xuanwu Gate was about to close.
Everyone had no choice but to stop here and ask the empress to get on the phoenix sedan chair and return to the palace quickly.
After getting up from the sedan chair, Concubine Chong opened the curtain of the sedan chair and said to the three highnesses: "We will have dinner at Wan'an Palace another day. I will cook it myself."
The three highnesses agreed immediately. After so many years, they have never eaten the food cooked by the empress.
However, the expressions of Eunuch Wang and Na Miao Shanggong changed, as if some painful memories were evoked.
~~
Hurrying slowly, I finally entered the Xuanwu Gate before the palace gate closed.
At this time, the curfew started in the palace, so everyone stopped talking nonsense and went home separately.
The Prince's Huichun Palace, also known as the East Palace.
The two kings of Yan returned to Dongwusuo... that is where the prince lived after he was twelve years old and before his wedding.
Zhu Zhen naturally followed his mother and concubine back to Wan'an Palace.
In Wan'an Palace, none of the palace guests left tonight, they were all waiting for the Queen to come back.
Everyone didn't even bother to eat dinner, they all stayed at Wan'an Gate, waiting eagerly, for fear of missing the moment to welcome the empress.
"It's coming, it's coming!" The little flamer holding the crack of the door screamed to announce the good news.
"Open the door quickly!" Mu Xiang hurriedly ordered, and several strong firemen quickly opened the heavy palace door slowly.
Another palace servant placed a brazier at the door and let the phoenix sedan pass over it to remove bad luck.
If it weren't for the strict prohibition on making noise at night, they would still want to play music and set off firecrackers to celebrate.
When the phoenix sedan alighted in Wan'an Palace and the Concubine Chong got off the sedan, all the palace people knelt down to greet them, weeping with joy:
"Welcome to the palace! Your Majesty is auspicious, may you be able to come back in peace and prosperity!"
"You have all suffered too." Concubine Hu Chong's eyes were red for the first time today. She personally helped up Mu Xiang who was kneeling in front of her, waved her hand to everyone and said: "Little ones, get up quickly!"
After everyone in the palace got up, they surrounded the empress on three levels, inside and outside, chattering about how they missed her...
Although His Royal Highness the King of Chu's recent feats made them very happy, the empress is the master of Wan'an Palace. Only with her presence can everyone rely on.
You can't always count on a ten-year-old child, right?
This scene made Zhu Zhen very bored. It was all his own fault, so Jin Yi Ye Xing was really unhappy...
He yawned loudly and said to his mother and concubine: "Mom, I'm sleepy."
"Don't worry, dear son, I haven't had dinner yet." Concubine Chong greeted her son hurriedly and said, "The banquet will begin soon."
Naturally, the palace people will hold a banquet for the empress.
"I had some with my brother earlier." Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "I want to sleep."
"Okay, you can always tell Mu Xiang when you're hungry." Seeing that he was very determined, Concubine Chong didn't force him.
"Yes." Zhu Zhen responded, and Mu Xiang took his hand and walked west for a while.
After taking a few steps, Zhu Zhen asked Mu Xiang: "Mu Xiang, Mu Xiang, how many drinks does my mother-in-law want to have to celebrate?"
"This..." Mu Xiang knew that this was not for her.
"Don't worry, you will gain wisdom after you have learned a lesson!" Empress Chongfei smiled awkwardly and gritted her teeth and said, "I've stopped drinking today."
Zhu Zhen returned to Nuange with satisfaction, but Mu Xiang's eyes were a little erratic, as if she lacked confidence.
Concubine Hu Chong watched her son go in. She was both pleased and depressed and said: "Oh, my son has grown up and he has to take care of his mother."
Wang Defa on the side wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and said: "I don't know something, but I am able to come back safely this time, thanks to Your Highness."
After Zhu Zhen fell into the water and was rescued, he suddenly grew up overnight and even went to Changyang Palace to negotiate with Concubine Da Ding. He also talked about the magical experience of winning and told it to the empress.
Hearing that her son had suffered such a serious crime and suffered such grievances, the concubine couldn't help but blame herself. She felt that she was too incompetent and unreliable as a mother.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness has really changed a lot." Miao Shanggong also exclaimed: "I haven't seen him for only two months, and I almost don't recognize him anymore."
"Didn't you hear what Lao Wang said? My son has grown up overnight because of such an inconsiderate mother like me." Concubine Chong felt distressed and wiped away her tears and said, "It's just that I would rather that he still doesn't understand anything like before.
I don’t want him to suffer such a serious crime.”
"Anyway, I can't be so impulsive." Wang Defa took the opportunity to admonish: "At least you can't do it again. This move makes it unreasonable."
"Don't worry, I was just trying to scare Concubine Ding. I won't be so aggressive next time." Concubine Chong quickly assured her again.
Miao Shanggong and Wang Eunuch secretly said, if we want to add a period to this guarantee, we hope it will be... three days?
