Chapter 412 Emperor Fu is in a bad mood again
Shen Suian stood in the side hall holding Chao Ge'er. Through the window, he saw Emperor Fu leave with a serious expression, followed by an old imperial physician with white hair.
Queen Ruan's mood was not affected at all by Emperor Fu's departure.
She had a sumptuous lunch prepared.
"Old Imperial Physician Xu just said that the prince's heart disease has improved. Your Majesty, he is feeling very uncomfortable." Queen Ruan seemed to remember something funny and burst out laughing.
Shen Sui'an was speechless for a while.
Now that his biological son’s illness has been cured, does that make him, as a father, feel bad?
Listen, is this a human?
"My father would like me to die earlier and make way for Fu Yuxuan, but I don't want to die. I want to live well." Fu Jinyi smiled happily.
"Besides, even if I die, I still have my elder brother. He is the eldest son and should be the crown prince."
Queen Ruan glared at him and turned to look at Shen Sui'an.
Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "Your Highness, it is because you are the crown prince that the Prince of Chen came back."
She knew very well that if Lu Yuan had not met Fu Jinyi, he would have had no intention of returning to the Southern Dynasty to reunite with his relatives.
He really loves this younger brother.
He definitely never thought that he should have been the crown prince.
"You brothers are of one mind, so it doesn't matter who holds the country." Queen Ruan said softly.
Fu Jinyi murmured to himself, that’s certainly different.
Being an emperor is so tiring.
Every day, my father gets up earlier than the chickens and goes to bed later than the dogs.
If he hadn't suffered from heart disease since childhood, he would have gotten up before dawn to study.
How painful!
He can't live a hard life anyway.
Forget it, there’s no point talking about this now. My father is still alive, and there’s a second prince eyeing me covetously. Let’s talk about it later.
Emperor Fu's mood was indeed complicated.
He had few children, and after giving birth to Fu Yuxuan, no other princes were born to his concubines in the harem.
At first, he thought it was because he only favored Concubine Liu and did not treat her equally. Later, he began to favor other concubines, but still had no children.
Now he only has these three sons.
Although he favored the Second Prince, he did not want Prince Chen and the Crown Prince to really die.
But in this case, how could he pass the throne to his most beloved second prince?
Contradiction, headache!
Emperor Fu was in a bad mood again.
"Your Majesty, it's time to turn over the green card and secretly arrange it." The eunuch in the Jingshifang was unaware that Emperor Fu was in a bad mood, and came in with a green card.
Concubine Liu's name is still in the most conspicuous place.
Emperor Fu put his hand on it subconsciously.
The eunuch in the Jingshifang raised his lips with a smile that indicated that it was just as he expected.
He paused and did not take the next step.
"It must be Concubine Ning." Emperor Fu said indifferently.
The eunuch in the Jingshifang was stunned.
This... The Emperor hasn't favored Concubine Liu for half a month. This is unprecedented.
Just now, the palace maid beside Concubine Liu came to warn him, asking him to find a way to put Concubine Liu's top card in the most conspicuous place.
Could it be that the Emperor no longer likes Concubine Liu?
"What's wrong?" Seeing that the eunuch from the Jingshifang had not left, Emperor Fu's face darkened.
"I will take my leave now. I will pass the message to Zhongcui Palace right away."
Concubine Liu was certain that Emperor Fu would go to the Summer Palace today, so she started taking a bath and burning incense from noon and made all preparations.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The palace maid hurried in.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Is the Emperor coming soon?" Concubine Liu drew light willow-shaped eyebrows for herself, which was the Emperor's favorite.
The makeup on her face is light, but it makes her look more elegant and beautiful.
The maid knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has gone to Zhongcui Palace."
The charming smile on Concubine Liu's face froze, "What?"
The emperor hasn't been to the Summer Palace for a long time. How could he go to the Zhongcui Palace?
"It was Concubine Ning who went to intercept!" Concubine Liu asked angrily.
"The eunuch from the Jingshifang passed on the message that it was... the emperor himself who turned over Concubine Ning's nameplate." The palace maid lowered her head, not daring to look at Concubine Liu's expression.
In the past, Concubine Liu was the only favored concubine in the harem, and the emperor would only stay for three days at most. He had never been away from the Summer Palace for such a long time.
How did Concubine Ning do it? She was like a vixen and bewitched the emperor to this extent.
……
When Yongning heard that the emperor was going to come to Zhongcui Palace, he could no longer hide his fatigue and disgust on his face.
She had no interest in serving an old man.
Emperor Fu still thought of himself as a young and strong man. He stopped in less than two quarters of an hour and felt that he had been doing it for two hours.
When doing things, he always pretends to be disgusting and doesn't want to tire her out.
What annoyed her the most was that she was forced to flatter him and said against her conscience that he was great and that she felt comfortable.
If she were not a noble concubine in the palace, she would have kept ten or eight young male lovers.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is trying to reconcile with you. He must have realized that he misunderstood you." The palace maid said happily.
Yongning sneered in her heart. The emperor did not misunderstand her. It was indeed she who revealed it to Shen Suian.
However, the emperor had no evidence, so she made a few excuses and he left angrily.
I guess they investigated for a few days but didn't find anything related to her.
She would rather he never come.
"I'm afraid we're really going to offend Concubine Liu this time." The palace maid was a little worried.
Yongning is not afraid of offending anyone. She is in a foreign country and no one can be her relative.
However, when it was dark, she still hadn't seen Emperor Fu.
Concubine Liu was ill and asked the imperial physician for help, but her maid intercepted the emperor halfway.
"That's great." Yongning couldn't help but clapping.
"Next time you go to Zhongcui Palace, tell them that my queen's water is coming."
She really didn't want to serve an old man at all.
"Princess, hiding like this is not a solution. You should give birth to a child as soon as possible so that you can have a foundation for your life." Aunt Zheng, who came with Yongning Yongchao, advised in a low voice.
"It's not that I can give birth whenever I want. There are so many concubines in the palace. Do you think they don't want to give birth to dragon descendants? Have they given birth yet?"
"Obviously it's not the concubine's problem."
It's just that old cucumbers are no longer good.
"Besides, given my status as a princess of the Yong Dynasty, it is even more impossible for the emperor to let me give birth to a prince." She still had self-awareness.
She has nothing to ask for in this life. She just wants to live happily and die cleanly.
"If Your Majesty feels bored, you can ask Princess Chen to come to the palace to talk. After all, she is also from the Yong Dynasty and is an old acquaintance of Your Majesty." Aunt Zheng advised again.
Yongning just smiled, she understood what Aunt Zheng meant.
He hoped that she could win over Shen Sui'an, so that when the prince came to power in the future, she would have a good ending in the second half of her life.
But Aunt Zheng didn't understand that she couldn't get too close to Shen Sui'an.
Considering her past desire to marry Lu Yuan, if Concubine Liu knew about this, she would definitely use it as a handle.
Why should she implicate others?
"Okay, Aunt Zheng, I'm tired." Yongning didn't want to say anything more.
She had already taken a risk to meet Shen Suian last time. If the Queen hadn't covered it up for her, she might not have been Concubine Ning by now.
