Chapter Ninety-Four: The Jade Princess's Birthday
"What does this mean, Queen Mother?"
After speaking, Lianxin bowed down and stood in front of the prince, but her attitude became colder and colder.
She has grown up with the queen since she was a child, and she is naturally loyal to her master.
But when the queen persuaded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually said that he was sick and did not go to see his mother, which made the queen angry and sick for several days, and since then Lianxin has had a great opinion on His Royal Highness the Prince.
Now that I see the prince, I naturally won't have a good face.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave maid persuaded His Royal Highness, the queen was worried that His Royal Highness would be calculated, so she sent the slave and maid several times to persuade Her Royal Highness to attack and talk in detail, but His Royal Highness repeatedly refused, which hurt the queen's heart, but now she wants her mother to help Her Highness."
The words have been made very clear, the queen does not plan to set herself on fire this time, but only pretends that she does not know about this matter, and is not even willing to go to the emperor to intercede for the prince.
Until Lianxin left the prince's mansion, the prince's face was still so bad.
I didn't expect that I was willful for a while, and I almost lost all the plans.
If the emperor was a little more ruthless, his position as the crown prince would have been impossible to keep a long time ago, so how could he stay until now?
And the emperor probably looked at his mother's family to be so tolerant of himself.
The crown prince was suddenly confined to his own mansion, and no one was even allowed to visit him at will, which can be said to be an earth-shattering event, and it didn't take long for all kinds of rumors to circulate in the capital.
But fortunately, there are no rumors about the prince and this plague.
Otherwise, if these ordinary people know that the crown prince personally selected by the emperor would actually do such a thing in vain for their lives, even if the emperor does not abolish this prince, I am afraid that he will complain.
"I heard that the emperor was grounded in the mansion because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was disrespectful to the queen's mother, just to let him reflect on it."
There will be this kind of idle lazy man here every day in the tea shop to discuss things in the capital, and now that the prince is grounded, this is naturally what everyone talks about the most.
The people around heard someone talking about it, and they all came over to hear some interesting new news.
"There is actually such a thing, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not only born to the queen, but also raised by the queen since he was a child, how can he treat his mother like this?"
Everyone echoed it, and they all felt that the prince was too unfilial and should not contradict his mother so much.
When the carriage passed by the downtown area, Mu Qing, who was resting against the window with his eyes slightly closed, raised his head, and a little smile flashed on his face.
Bai Lichen naturally told her everything in the palace, but she also felt a little funny.
The prince has done such a thing, and the emperor is still a little partial to the prince, and he has not yet announced the truth to the public.
Everyone thought that the crown prince was just being confined to his palace by the emperor because he was disrespectful to the queen.
But it's also true.
If the prince's behavior is made public, it will not only be the prince, but even the emperor will be discredited.
Coupled with the power of the empress's mother's family, it is impossible for the emperor to do this.
"Mother, do we want to tell the truth about this incident?" Xin'er asked cautiously, looking a little timid.
"Why do you want to talk about it? Since the emperor doesn't want the crown prince's reputation to be bad, we can't be this bad guy behind our backs, if the emperor knows about it and someone spreads the news, then he will definitely suspect the head of the third prince. ”
Disappointment and hope are accumulated little by little, Mu Qing thought that even if the emperor still favors his son in his heart now, but in fact, as long as the disappointment accumulates, the emperor will definitely not tolerate the prince like this.
Although the prince was temporarily locked up in his own mansion and couldn't make any trouble, there was still a queen in the palace.
Since the queen's mother's family is still there, the position of the crown prince will be firmly in her hands.
The queen's mother family is not only the patriarch of the three dynasties, but also the power in the court is intertwined.
Even the emperor has to take into account the power of the queen's mother's family, so he is also extraordinarily tolerant of the queen.
Although something happened to the prince, he didn't get angry with the queen, not only that, but after the prince had an accident, the queen even held a banquet in the palace.
It is said to celebrate the birthday of the jade princess in the palace.
The Jade Princess is the emperor's favorite princess, and her birthday banquet is naturally a big deal in the palace.
Now the Jade Princess is still making a fuss in her own palace, saying that the imperial concubine of the Third Highness is not allowed to attend her birthday banquet.
The queen has persuaded her several times, but to no avail.
"Jade Princess, why do you care so much about these three imperial concubines? She is the concubine of the Third Highness, how can she not come to your birthday banquet? ”
The princess's maid also persuaded her a few words, but the jade princess did not come down for a long time.
She was still very disgusted with Mu Qing in her heart, and felt that Mu Qing had bullied her third brother.
When the news reached Mu Qing, she felt a little indifferent.
After all, she didn't have a good impression of the Jade Princess, thinking of the various frames that the Jade Princess had framed herself at the banquet before, Mu Qing felt that it would be better for her not to go to the banquet in the palace this time.
But to Mu Qing's surprise, Bai Lichen was very dissatisfied with the Jade Princess's approach.
"If she doesn't ask you to come to the birthday banquet, I won't go to this banquet either."
The understatement surprised Mu Qing.
"Why? The Jade Princess is your sister, and she seems to like your brother very much, didn't she even send a post to our house? ”
Bai Lichen knocked on the table, feeling a little helpless, it seemed that the person in front of him didn't seem to understand what he meant at all.
"She is the youngest daughter of her father, and she has been spoiled by the people in the palace since she was a child, if you only invite me and not you, what do you think your status is in the eyes of these people? If she wants me to go, she will let you go with me, and if she won't let you go, then I will do it. ”
When the news reached the ears of the Jade Princess, she was very angry, if it weren't for the maid on the side and a few words of persuasion, I am afraid that she would not have found the Three Princes' Mansion directly.
"What kind of ecstasy soup did she give the third brother, why did the third brother treat me like this! It's really infuriating! ”
Throwing all the cups on the table to the ground, the jade princess had a little blush on her face, obviously angry.
But there is no way, her third brother does things, she knows, she has always said the same, even if she was sick in the past, she has never accommodated herself, let alone now.
"Forget it, just let her come too, you can't ask the third brother not to come to my birthday banquet, right?"
Thinking of the gift that Bai Lichen promised him before, Princess Yu's mood was a little better.
She is still young, and she is just angry in her heart.
But the rest of the population will not be like that.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the birthday banquet.
The Mu family was originally on the side of the prince, but as soon as they found someone to dredge up the relationship, the prince caused such a thing.
Isn't this a waste of what the Mu family did before?
Moreover, the family that had intended to marry Mu Wan before, when they saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had an accident, there was no news when they turned their heads, and Mu Wan's mood was even worse.
She counted all this on Mu Qing's head, and always felt that it was because of Mu Qing that she would encounter this kind of thing.
"If it weren't for her and the third prince secretly framing her, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fall to such a point now."
Mu Wan looked at Mu Qing, who was sought after in the crowd, and her heart became more and more resentful.
Because the third prince is now in power, Mu Qing's status has risen more and more.
This is nothing for Mu Qing, and it doesn't seem so comfortable to others, especially the queen who has just had an accident with her son.
The queen also had the heart to teach the prince a lesson, so she didn't even intercede for him this time, so that he was honestly locked up in the mansion, but seeing that the third prince was in power, how could she feel comfortable.
Although the mother of the third prince, the first queen died early, and the mother's family has no power, but Chen Guifei is the emperor's top favorite, if she stands on the side of the third prince, this situation is difficult to say.
"Concubine Chen looks good today."
Thinking of this, the queen glanced at Chen Guifei on the side, and added a sentence very hypocritically.
"The queen is too, and her complexion is a lot ruddy."
Chen Guifei naturally didn't say anything.
Compared with the queen, she is now the time for the spring breeze to be proud.
She is not very old, and there has been no draft in the palace in recent years, and the emperor's mind is on her, which is different from the queen.
And the third prince, she saw it, she didn't know how much better it was than the prince, and the current situation was within Chen Guifei's expectations.
It's just that she is also a little worried, in the end, her mother's family is just a small family, and the third imperial concubine Mu Qing's family is only a fourth-grade Shangshu, which is not a powerful help for Bai Lichen to get the position of the prince.
Squinting slightly, glancing at Mu Qing not far away, Chen Guifei felt very strange.
At the beginning, she had also tried a few times, if she was willing, Chen Guifei could help Bai Lichen find a more powerful candidate for the Third Imperial Concubine, but Bai Lichen prevaricated again and again.
In the end, it is not her biological mother, after saying it twice, Chen Guifei will not say more.
"You go, brew this peach blossom on my table to the third princess, today's wine is really good, and the palace is very amazing to drink."
Chen Guifei is not stupid, if she wants to sit firmly in the position of the queen mother in the future, then it is inevitable to recognize Mu Qing's identity.
"Thank you for the reward."
Mu Qing took it calmly, Bai Lichen had a smile on his face, he knew that Chen Guifei would definitely help him with this.
In front of everyone at the banquet, the identity and status of the three imperial concubines of Mu Qing were affirmed.
This is what he wants to see, and this is what Mu Qing needs.
