Chapter 472 Undercurrent
"Qingqing, do you think your methods are so clever? Do you want to kill our entire Miao family?"
"Mother, what are you talking about? My daughter just gave birth to the little prince and is still in confinement. You are accusing her for no reason. Aren't you afraid that she will get so angry that she will have a hemorrhage?"
"Even after entering the palace, you still can't change your outspokenness. What am I saying, talented person, please stop pretending to be confused. Do you really want me to explain everything to you?"
Miao Heqing lowered her head slightly, bit her lower lip, and stammered, "Mom, how can I understand what you are talking about?"
As she spoke, her voice grew louder and louder, her eyes glaring with dissatisfaction that was about to overflow.
"As soon as you entered the palace, you went to see Miao Yueji first, and then came to your daughter last. That would be fine, but as soon as you came in, you blamed your daughter. It seems that after your daughter entered the palace for a few years, you had your granddaughter by your side and took care of her for a few more years, and you completely forgot about her."
"My mother was fine last time she came to the palace. Is it because she said something bad about my daughter when you went to her this time that made you scold her like this?"
"Humph! Mother doesn't understand you yet. The more guilty you are, the more you talk and the louder your voice becomes. Mother went to please herself first because she is a concubine, and you are just a talented woman. Forget it, mother won't mess around with you, little prince..."
Old Madam Miao looked at her daughter Miao Heqing meaningfully.
"What's wrong with Concubine Zhen? I gave birth to a little prince. His Majesty is so happy that he might even make me a noble concubine!" Miao Heqing turned her face away, tears falling.
Old Madam Miao patted her back gently and wiped away Miao Heqing's tears tenderly.
"You grew up with Yueji. It's fine if you make a scene in the mansion, but you dare to do it again after entering the palace. Do you think you can do it perfectly? When the imperial concubine gives birth, there are so many eyes in the delivery room. Do you think you can bribe them all?"
"Mom, you believe what Miao Yueji says? How can I be so brave?"
"Alright, stop quibbling with your mother. Yueji will plead for you this time. Just be obedient to me and be thankful that you are not convicted. You don't have to worry about the little prince anymore."
"mother!"

"The Imperial Observatory said that if the little prince and princess are raised separately before the age of six, there is a risk of them dying, so your majesty ordered the concubine to raise the little prince and princess together."
"Miao Cairen didn't make a fuss?"
Palace maid Chun Hui shook her head and frowned, saying, "Miao Cairen didn't say a word, she looked like she had done something wrong and was feeling guilty. Your Majesty, could it be..."
"Could it be something?"
"She was the one who caused Concubine Meng to give birth prematurely!"
"Oh, just take a shower and go to bed!" Shunpin Shi Qingzhang looked at Chunhui helplessly.
Sitting on the bed, Shi Qingzhang was silent for a long time, and then asked softly: "The eldest prince... is he still unwilling to accept the relief that I sent?"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the First Prince will understand your good intentions sooner or later."
When Shi Qingzhang heard Chun Gu's words that were roundabout and did not give a direct answer, he sighed deeply.
"Your Majesty, it is said that sincerity can move mountains and open up new horizons, Your Highness..." Chunhui stammered, trying to find words to say.
"Okay, I know you're not good at talking, just get out." Shi Qingzhang rubbed his brows.
Is the princess born prematurely by Miao Yueji really your Majesty’s?
The little princess doesn't look like she was born prematurely at all.
Something happened to the eldest prince. Miao Yueji, who was supposed to marry him but accidentally entered the palace and became his stepmother, didn't even have time to avoid suspicion. Why would she secretly send money to her and ask her to give it to the eldest prince?
"Wait, Chunhui, is the embroidered handkerchief that Concubine Man gave me before she participated in the selection still there?"
At the palace banquet that year, she was looking for a girl from the Miao family as a concubine for the eldest prince. On the grounds that they got along well, she gave Miao Yueji a hairpin, and Miao Yueji presented her with a hand-embroidered handkerchief.
"My queen, they are here. The things that you didn't ask me to throw away are all well kept."
"Bring that handkerchief here, and ask Qiu Cheng to make it into a purse. Make it bigger, and I will use it to hold the gold bars."
"Yes, ma'am."
