Chapter 220: Taunts at the Banquet
When the third prince heard this, he hurried back from other places, but he didn't expect that the news was no longer what he heard.
The third prince, who was originally running around, saw that his mother had a very bad life in the palace, and even entered the cold palace, but when he came back, he found that the news had changed.
His maternal ancestors, both of them died tragically in the palace, not to mention, and now his mother has also fallen out of favor and even miscarried.
This is how people should accept it, so the third prince rushed back to the capital non-stop, and then hurried to the study to find the emperor.
"Father, the son is back."
The third prince knelt at the door of the study at this time, knowing that the emperor did not want to see him, so he could only kneel at the door at this time, although he knelt on the ground, he was still very straight.
"Naturally, I don't want to see you, and you should know why in your own heart." The emperor originally didn't plan to come out to see the third prince, but this person had already knelt at his door for an afternoon, so he reluctantly came out to take a look at the people outside.
The third prince was originally very expensive outside, but now when he heard the emperor's voice, he quickly raised his head and wanted to intercede for his mother.
"Father......... Mother she ......"
The third prince also wanted to ask for mercy now, but seeing that the emperor's face was not so good, so the words he just said were about to speak and stopped, what happened between the father and the mother concubine, he has no way of knowing now, but now the miscarriage has not been treated in the courtyard, and they have all fallen ill, but no one cares, and this matter has stayed in his heart.
"There are some things you don't have to mention again, if you continue to talk about it, then you don't have to see me."
The emperor looked at the third prince kneeling on the ground at this time, knowing that the purpose of the person in front of him was for autumn, so he was in a very unhappy mood now, and he didn't want to meet that woman again at all.
So I also had a little disgust for the three princes in front of me, although the three princes looked like Baili Qiao'er, but the shadow on their bodies did not have half of themselves.
Suddenly, when this idea flashed in the emperor's mind, he was also wondering in his heart, whether the third prince was his own son?
But after taking a closer look, I found that the face was indeed the same as when I was a child, and I was relieved in my heart, at least this son was indeed his own.
"There are some things that you don't need to say, but there are some people she doesn't want to talk about, and it's none of my business."
After the emperor said this, he directly called the three princes on the ground into the house and discussed with him about sending the three princes out before.
However, he didn't expect that when the third prince just walked into the study with the emperor, he heard an emergency military situation from outside.
"Newspaper—"
The dusty soldiers rushed into the study, and directly handed the news in their hands to the eunuch in front of them, and then the eunuch handed it to the emperor.
The emperor glanced at the soldier, it should be 800 miles of urgent news, but there was some expectation in his heart, this is the news of victory, I don't want to hear any other accidents, so when he just opened the letter, he immediately threw the letter on the ground.
"Lost again!"
When the emperor gritted his teeth and said these three words, he thought in his heart that the hundred miles of clouds on the battlefield were nothing more than deliberate.
"Baili Yunzheng, this is clearly deliberate!" The emperor was very angry and pinched the thing on the side of the table, and it grew directly on the ground.
The soldiers who were originally kneeling on the ground were also inadvertently affected, but they did not dare to act rashly, so the emperor looked at the letter lying on the ground, with the word defeat written on it, and was very angry in his heart.
When the third prince stood beside him, he naturally saw the scene in front of him in his eyes, thought about it in his heart, and thought about the pros and cons of this matter, so he stood up directly and walked in front of the emperor.
"Father! The son is willing to go to the front line to supervise the army on behalf of his father! ”
After the third prince knelt on the ground at this time and said his wish, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, afraid that the emperor would not agree, after all, if he went to the front line, maybe the situation would improve, but now that he is still alive, he is still angry, and he doesn't know what decision he will make, so it is better to take the lead himself.
However, the emperor sitting next to him did not speak, he glanced at the person kneeling on the ground, his eyelashes trembled, then closed his eyes, waved his hand, and said to the person in front of him:
"Naturally, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing, I will naturally send the crown prince."
"Father!"
The third prince really didn't expect that the emperor would snub him because of his mother, and even released the prince directly.
When the mother-in-law looked at this person and wanted to say something, she directly asked the eunuch around her to drive the person out, she was very irritable in her heart, and while rubbing her forehead, she still thought in her heart, since Baili Yunzheng is so ignorant, it is better to let the prince go to the front line to take a look.
After Concubine Jing heard the news reported by the palace maid beside her, she laughed directly, although her face was slightly confused, but her heart was very happy.
"The slave maid just saw the third prince being driven out by the emperor." The palace maid standing next to her was also very flattering at this time, reporting the news she had learned to the person in front of her.
Concubine Jing didn't expect that the emperor would not only lose patience with Baili Qiao'er, but even the three princes would be snubbed, "Oh? How could there be such a thing? ”
"Yes, the third prince was very sad at that time, and left the palace directly after coming out."
After the palace maid finished speaking, she hurriedly nodded to the person in front of her and went up to beat her legs.
While Concubine Jing was enjoying the service of the person in front of her, she was also thinking in her heart that since the three princes were no longer reused, and the crown prince was also released by the emperor, and she didn't even care about what happened before, it meant that her good days were coming again.
"Since the prince is going to the front line, the palace naturally wants to entertain everyone in the palace."
Concubine Jing was very happy, and after saying this, she directly asked the palace maids and eunuchs under her to prepare a grand banquet, after all, if you want to celebrate the prince, then you must be open and honest to express your happiness in front of everyone.
So on the second day, all the people in the harem received an invitation from Concubine Jing to attend the banquet.
Li Chuxia was very reluctant to take Chu Yunxiao to the banquet together, because Baili Qiao'er didn't have the strength to go after receiving the invitation, so he just counted it and let Li Chuxia go on his behalf.
"I'm afraid that Concubine Jing wrote the word happy directly on her face." Li Chuxia is very angry now, and while speaking, he also has some consideration for the feelings of the people around him, because of the things that happened before, I don't know if the person around him still cares about these things.
Chu Yunxiao's expression was slightly light, and there was less smile than usual, although he was holding his stomach now, but there was no happy expression on his face.
While Li Chuxia deliberately said some other words to adjust the atmosphere at this time, he was also worried about whether the person in front of him would be angry when he went to the banquet.
The two of them went all the way to Concubine Jing's palace, and because of the grand banquet held at this time, a lot of people came, and those who had seen and had not seen on weekdays chatted and talked in this palace.
Chu Yunxiao didn't like to stand with others because of her reputation like Jinhua, and stayed in the crowd, so she stood in the corner with Li Chuxia at this time, and many people around recognized her.
Because Concubine Jing held the banquet and also gathered many famous and noble women in the capital, many of the people who participated in the banquet knew Chu Yunxiao before, so everyone turned from talking about Concubine Jing to talking about Chu Yunxiao at the beginning.
"Look at her belly, she hasn't shown her arms yet, but the whole person is magnificent."
One of the women was very disdainful, and after saying this, she turned around and chatted with the other women.
"Don't talk like that, someone else is also the second princess." The other woman followed.
So several other women joined in the discussion, and several people said a lot of things, although Li Chuxia couldn't hear them clearly, but he also knew that it was not a good thing.
Finally, when the banquet began, Concubine Jing stood in front of everyone and said a lot of things, and many people began to compliment her.
After Concubine Jing invited everyone to drink, her eyes fell on Li Chuxia's side, and then she said slightly: "The second princess heard that she is pregnant again, how many months has it been?" ”
Chu Yunxiao was very angry when she heard Jin Fei mention that she was very angry in her heart, but now she could only stand up with an expressionless face and answer the question, "Back to Niangniang, three months." ”
"Oh? That's right. Concubine Jing nodded thoughtfully, and then pretended to be very innocent and asked.
"Then this child is the second prince?"
After these words were spoken, the audience was silent, and everyone didn't dare to gasp, although they knew what happened to Chu Yunxiao before, but everyone didn't dare to mention it openly, but now they admire, and when they dared to say it so openly, the expression on their faces seemed to be very proud.
"Yes, sis." After Chu Yunxiao answered this question expressionlessly, he sat back in his place directly.
Li Chuxia couldn't be angry now, she really didn't expect Concubine Jing to be so deceitful and mention this matter in front of everyone, and this matter was obviously her hand, she was embarrassed to mention it?
"Although this identity is the second princess, but what kind of woman it is, who knows?"
"The original incident was spread all over the city."
"I heard that the first child is not actually the second prince's ......"
Everyone lowered their heads and whispered about this matter, and the more Li Chuxia listened, the more he listened, the more he changed, but the expressionless appearance of the people around him angered him even more.
