felt that Chu Liangyuan was a pity, not only the Queen Mother alone.

Within a few days, the concubines and concubines in Cining Palace, several concubines in the emperor's harem led by Wang Concubine, and even some members of the clan who were close to the royal family, began to feel that Chu Liangyuan was a pity.

If you don't mention her background, just look at her appearance, temperament, talent, and conduct, it can be said that everything is excellent, and there is nothing to find fault with. She is an improved version of Chen Liangyuan, Chen Liangyuan has almost all the advantages, and she is even better than Chen Liangyuan. Chen Liangyuan is honest, but he is not very assertive, but Chu Liangyuan is a woman who understands things and knows what to do. Even if she is the daughter of the Chu family, and she is the husband and wife of Chu Zhengfang who have reached this status with one hand, in the face of some wrong actions of the Chu family, she will still speak bluntly, and never speak good things for her family with a clear conscience. Not to mention an ordinary harem woman, even outside the palace, such a character is very rare.

Therefore, many people feel that she is a pity. If she hadn't been sent into the palace by her cousins and sisters-in-law, and she hadn't gone out to participate in socializing for many years before entering the palace, then as long as she appeared on a few banquet occasions after returning to Beijing with her parents, she would have been able to quickly spread her good reputation, and then attract wealthy families to ask for marriage. Although her family background can only be regarded as mediocre, with the support of the Chu family's background, she will not marry too badly, and she will have a good life in the future. It doesn't have to be like now, although you are a concubine of the East Palace, you are not favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, and you are embarrassed to spend your days by the side of the crown princess, becoming a victim of the discord between the prince and the princess.

Yes, now Chu Liangyuan has become a victim in the eyes of many insiders. Since she has proved that she is excellent, beautiful, sensible and polite, and loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince, and willing to sacrifice to save the Prince, it is impossible for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to dislike her. The reason why he was so cold to her was just because she was given to him by the crown princess, and the prince was angry with his wife. If Chu Liangyuan was not included in the palace as a tool for borrowing her abdomen as the crown princess, but was normally selected into the East Palace with Chen Liangyuan as a beautiful woman who should be selected, she would definitely not get the current result. So, it's a shame for her!

The queen mother's concubines and concubines thought so, the harem concubines also felt the same way, most of the ladies of the clan were also sympathetic, and even the county lord of Minshun said a few good words about Chu Liangyuan when he met Qin Jinchun in private. Among all the people, only the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince himself have remained silent.

The attitude of the emperor is well understood. No matter how good Chu Liangyuan is, how can she be? Beauty, etiquette, and understanding of proportion, these are the basic quality requirements that a harem woman should have, and Chu Liangyuan should have these advantages. The prince didn't like her, and for whatever reason, there was no need to question it. The prince's own preferences are more important, and the emperor certainly can't wronged his son and let him get close to a woman he doesn't like. Besides, the crown prince is the future emperor, and it is a great blessing in itself to be his woman, so what grievances can you talk about? Even the crown princess ate the turtle because she embarrassed the prince, which card is Chu Liangyuan like?

The emperor's own harem is not very numerous, and in recent years, he has rarely gone to the harem, and most of the time he goes is to chat, listen to piano music, enjoy a massage, or eat some private dishes or something, relax and relax, basically there is no physical communication. The ladies of the harem also get along very harmoniously, some people do not have special specialties, and they may not be able to usher in the emperor for a year and a half, and no one thinks they are a pity. When the emperor looked at his son, he felt that he was looking at his former self, and naturally he didn't feel that Chu Liangyuan had any "pity".

As for the crown prince himself...... In fact, he is a kind-hearted person who is very soft-hearted. Chu Liangyuan saved him once, and he was injured, and he was still a little grateful in his heart. Although he may not encounter any danger without Chu Liangyuan saving him, he has a normal outlook and cannot do anything to take revenge. His attitude towards Chu Liangyuan has eased a lot, he also smiled when he spoke, and asked about Chu Liangyuan's recovery from his injuries with concern, and from time to time he would reward her with a few dishes to add food, or ask people to send her beautiful new jewelry and new clothes. This is almost Chen Liangyuan's daily treatment.

But that's about it.

The prince has not forgotten that Zhao Mo once told him that this woman's background is suspicious. Although Chu Liangyuan may be the granddaughter of the former subordinate official of the Shu Palace, it is not a big secret, and he will not punish the other party for this. But the other party concealed his true family background and entered the palace, which is a bit embarrassing. It's just that the prince thinks that Chu Zhengfang and his wife are the main messengers, and the crown princess may also be an accomplice, so he didn't put the responsibility on Chu Liangyuan, who was obviously not autonomous. He also discovered that Chu Liangyuan and Chu Zhengfang are not completely of the same mind, they have their own opinions on many things, and she can tell the difference between right and wrong. He admired it, but he could have been gentle with her, but he didn't intend to repay her with himself.

The crown princess and Chu Zhengfang intended to use Chu Liangyuan to achieve something, and this purpose was likely to be something that the prince himself did not want to see. Therefore, he will show favor to Chu Liangyuan, but he will not let the crown princess and Chu Zhengfang get what they want.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been a child who has grown up under the favor of the Queen Mother and the Emperor since he became the Crown Prince. Although he is very sensible, there will be times when he is willful. He also felt that doing this was the best way to do it, and it was good for everyone.

However, the crown princess did not understand his thoughts.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace, because the rain this year has affected the autumn grain harvest, the scale of the palace banquet has also shrunk a lot, in addition to the royal family, only a few close branch clans in the capital participated, and the foreign ministers did not get any grace, even the Tu Qin two relatives did not have a share. Qin Bai's family plans to hold a banquet at home tonight. Qin Hanzhen entered the palace with her newlywed husband Zhao Mo to attend the palace banquet, and saw the princess once again chanting to His Royal Highness the prince in front of people, saying that Chu Liangyuan had a meritorious role in saving the prince, and the prince should be rewarded to her, and he should not be too cold to her.

It's simply amazing!

Qin Hanzhen learned from the ladies of other clans to pretend to be quails with their heads down, but they were spitting frantically in their hearts. When has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not rewarded Chu Liangyuan? The clothes and jewelry that he appreciates every day, as well as the daily shouts and greetings, are not considered a reward? Why didn't the crown princess just tell the prince to go to bed early Chu Liangyuan! No matter how much material material is enough to repay Chu Liangyuan's kindness for help, the prince must not be too cold to Chu Liangyuan unless he has to make a personal promise! What does the crown princess think of her husband? Who the prince wants to sleep with and who he doesn't want to sleep with, can't he make his own decisions, right?!

How persistent is the crown princess?!

Even if she regarded Chu Liangyuan as a tool to give birth to a child through her womb, didn't she think that what she was doing now was like saying to the prince, "When will you give me a child?" She didn't feel embarrassed at all?!

At least, the people at the palace banquet tonight, almost everyone who heard the words of the crown princess, felt very embarrassed.

The Tang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not present. Mrs. Chu Zhengfang was not there. The Queen Mother turned her head to talk to a concubine with a blank face, as if she hadn't heard anything. Soon after the banquet, the lord of Minshun asked the emperor to call him to his side, but at this time, he was dazed, and he was taken by the emperor with a bowl of vegetables, so he could only bury his head in eating, and he couldn't pay attention to his mother at all. Chen Liangdi is still under grounding. Chen Liangyuan was rewarded by the Queen Mother early because she wanted to raise a baby, and she didn't have to attend the palace banquet.

No one could persuade the crown princess, or Chu Liangyuan stiffened an embarrassed face, took the initiative to thank the crown princess, and said many words that His Royal Highness the crown prince was kind to her, saying that he could not repay the prince's kindness, even if it was broken bones, but now that he has only suffered a little injury, where can he dare to say that he has merit? Immediately after that, Chu Liangyuan took the initiative to toast the crown princess, thanked the princess for her love and grace to her, and also said that she could not repay it, and hated to be broken.

The crown princess's face looked better, but she still hated Chu Liangyuan. She was bent on promoting the prince to favor Chu Liangyuan, but the latter didn't understand her hard work, no matter how well-behaved she was, people couldn't help but be angry.

The atmosphere was a little better, but everyone was still awkward. Qin Han really didn't know what to say in his heart. Obviously, the dishes at the banquet are good, but she still doesn't know what to eat. After the banquet ended, the singing and dancing dispersed, and the clans hurriedly retired, and she also followed Zhao Mo away.

On the carriage home, Qin Hanzhen didn't say much, only exchanged a few glances with Zhao Mo and whispered a few words. She really felt that the crown princess's mental state was very problematic.

Zhao Mo was also frowning, feeling that something was wrong: "Maybe it's because she has been recuperating for too long, and she rarely sees outsiders, plus Chen Liangyuan is pregnant, and it is very likely that she will give birth to a grandson, she is anxious, looking forward to having a child as soon as possible, so she will lose her proportion?"

In fact, it is impossible for the young couple to discuss it by themselves. Yongjiahou Mansion arrived soon, so they packed up their mood and got out of the car to participate in the moon viewing banquet in the Qin family's three rooms.

Zhao Qi was sent to Yongjiahou Mansion by Zhao Mo early, and this time he was playing Brother Zhuang with Qin Hanzhu. During the day, he was also called by Qin Bai, asked about his homework, and told some stories from the "Three Character Classic", which he thought was very interesting. He had a very happy day, and whispered to his brother and sister-in-law that he would come over to play often in the future.

Zhao Mo and Qin Hanzhen were both happy to see that Zhao Qi and Yongjiahou Mansion got along well, and they also found children with similar temperaments for themselves. Anyway, he and Qin Hanzhu are still young, and there is nothing to avoid, let's play together. Qin Jinrong in the long room has already made a marriage, and the time to be a companion with Qin Hanzhu is running out, and even the courses he learned from his boudoir have stopped, and he has learned from his mother instead, but he doesn't learn very well. Qin Hanzhu went to school alone, which was quite lonely. Xiao Feng began to discuss with the Niu family, whether to invite Mr. Zeng to Xifu to take classes, so that Qin Hanzhu would have to walk so far every day. Now that Qin Hanzhu has a new playmate, Qin Hanzhen is also happy for her.

This night, Qin Hanzhen, Zhao Mo and Zhao Qi reunited with their relatives in Yongjiahou Mansion, had a pleasant night, returned to the other courtyard late at night, and quickly fell asleep. So it wasn't until they got up the next morning that the young couple heard the shocking news.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was drunk last night and pampered Chu Liangyuan.

Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo looked at each other: "This is fake, right? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pays so much attention to health preservation, how can he be drunk?!"

Zhao Mo also thought of another point: "Last night was August 15, according to the rules of the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should go to the Crown Princess's house." ”

The couple glanced at each other, and their expressions were a little meaningful.
