Chapter 140: Persuasion
Liuli frowned and endured it, but she still didn't hold back, and persuaded her: "Queen Mother, it's a bit inappropriate to ask Concubine An to do this, and please think twice." ”
The queen ignored the glass, waved her hand at the jade, and said, "Okay, you go, hurry up." ”
"Yes, Queen."
Jade answered, glanced at Liuli mockingly, and shook her head out of the prince's bedroom.
In Funing Palace, Concubine An had just finished copying a scripture, and heard the personal palace maid Yang Liuyu report that it was the jade of Fengyi Palace, and the pen in her hand that had not yet been put down paused, and the ink on the tip of the pen that had not dried dripped on the scripture she had just copied.
An Concubine looked at the stained scriptures, shook her head, put down her pen and said, "It's a pity that a good scripture was ruined like this." But since it's ruined, throw it away, and I'll go see the Jade Girl. ”
"Yes, sissy." Yang Liu lowered his head and answered, stepped forward to put away the ink-stained scripture, and took it outside to dispose of it.
An Concubine came to the main hall, smiled softly at Jade, and said, "How can Jade Girl have time to come to my Funing Palace today?" ”
Jade told An Concubine about her intentions.
After hearing this, Concubine An said worriedly: "How could such a thing happen?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be fine, right? ”
Jade shook her head and said, "This slave can't say well now, so I have to ask Concubine An to try her best." ”
Concubine An nodded and said, "Don't worry, Miss Jade, I'll go to the small kitchen to make pastries and personally send them to Fengyi Palace in a while." ”
Seeing that An Concubine agreed, Jade smiled and said: "Then it's hard work for An Concubine, and the slave will go back and wait for An Concubine Niangniang first." ”
"Emerald Girl, walk slowly."
After Jade left, An Concubine sat on the chair for a long time without making a sound, and she didn't know what to think again, Yang Liu called An Concubine with some worry, "Niangniang? ”
"It's fine." Concubine An replied, stood up and said, "Let's go, follow me to make pastries for His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Yang Liu followed behind An Concubine and asked puzzledly, "Niangniang, do you really want to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince make pastries?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now doing this kind of sin done by the queen mother herself, why should the mother help her? ”
Wouldn't it be good if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was completely abolished from now on?
An Concubine shook her head and said, "It's too early." ”
When Yang Liu heard this, he stopped talking.
Concubine An picked up the prince's favorite pastries and made four kinds, and then packed all the hot pastries into the carved mahogany food box, and personally carried the food box to Fengyi Palace.
When the queen heard the palace maid report that An Concubine was coming with pastries, she hurriedly called An Concubine in, and said unceremoniously to An Concubine: "Quickly take out the finished pastries and try to persuade the prince." ”
Concubine An respectfully saluted the queen and said, "Yes, the queen's mother, the concubine is ordered." ”
An Concubine opened the food box and took out a plate of chestnut cakes from the food box, and the chestnut cakes with hot air suddenly floated out of a sweet taste.
An Concubine walked to the prince's bed with a chestnut cake, took out a piece of chestnut cake and shook it under the prince's nose, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the prince, I made your favorite chestnut cake, do you smell the fragrance?" ”
"In addition to chestnut cake, I also made hazelnut cake, jujube paste yam cake and almond cake, isn't it true that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will try it?"
Seeing that the prince still didn't react, Concubine An was not in a hurry, but continued: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, like this, the queen mother, I and the emperor, we are all very worried, can you bear to watch us worry about you, anxious?" ”
"I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most filial and sensible, and he must be reluctant to worry about the queen and us, and he is reluctant to give up those delicious pastries, right?"
"I promise, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can get better, I will make any pastries for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future."
An Concubine was not impatient at all and talked for a long time in front of the prince's bed, and the queen felt that it might not work, so she said to An Concubine: "Forget it, this palace will think of other ways." ”
Concubine An didn't give up, and said: "Don't get in the way, the queen mother will think of another way first, and the concubine will try again." ”
The queen glanced at Concubine An and said, "Then you can try again." ”
An Concubine nodded, and continued to speak softly to the prince, until An Concubine's voice became hoarse, and the prince lying on the bed finally had a little reaction.
His eyes rolled, his eyes looked at Concubine An on the side, and he said in a dumb voice: "Concubine Niangniang, I want to eat chestnut cake." ”
An Concubine replied with joy on her face: "Alas, good, eat." ”
Seeing that the prince finally had a reaction, the queen hurriedly stepped forward and pushed aside Concubine An, and said excitedly: "Cong'er, you finally have a reaction, you are really anxious to kill the queen mother, you can't do this next time, you know?" ”
The crown prince looked at the queen and did not respond.
Seeing this, the expression on the queen's face turned cold a little.
An Concubine on the side hurriedly spoke: "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be hungry and thirsty after not eating or drinking for so long, you can give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince some water first." ”
As she spoke, Concubine An handed the poured water to the queen, and said to the prince: "Your Royal Highness the prince, your throat is dumb, drink some water to moisten your throat first, and then I will give you chestnut cake to eat." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Concubine An and nodded, not refusing the warm water that the queen fed to his mouth.
The queen's face looked a little better.
Concubine An has been staying in the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince, watching His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drink water, eat a few mouthfuls of pastries, and persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to use some easy-to-use porridge, and wait for the Imperial Doctor to see it and make sure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is okay before leaving His Royal Highness the Prince's bedroom.
After Concubine An left, the queen wanted to talk to the prince again, but no matter what she said, the prince didn't say a word.
The queen looked at the prince like this, and she was angry.
"What the hell are you going to do? I am your mother, what is your attitude towards me? What am I sorry for you? How many things have I done for you over the years, but now I have such an attitude from you, you really chill me, you are closer to An Concubine, an outsider, than to me, the queen mother, do you know who is the one who gave birth to you and raised you? “
The prince waited for the queen to finish with an expressionless face before he said lightly: "If you can, Erchen hopes that Concubine An is the one who gave birth to me and raised me." ”
"You ......" the queen's hands trembled: "You rebel!" ”
Liuli glanced at Jadeite, meaning to persuade Jadeite, but Jadeite shrank aside and didn't see it.
Liuli was helpless, so she could only persuade herself: "The queen mother is angry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not well yet, and he was confused for a while before talking nonsense, he must be respecting the Queen Mother in his heart, if it were not for the Queen Mother, how could His Royal Highness the Prince have today's status?" ”
