Chapter 226 Women with Their Own Motives
When Concubine Qian heard this, she thought of the Crown Prince's special feelings for Concubine Fang Liangdi, and also realized the worrying situation of the other five women. She asked anxiously,
"Sister Concubine, what do you think we should do?"
Concubine Zhang did not answer. At this moment, she, who was always dignified and elegant, felt her blood boiling and she began to grit her teeth.
He picked up a vase nearby and threw it hard to the ground.
With a "crash", broken porcelain pieces flew everywhere.
Qian Min'er was so frightened that she screamed "Ah" and was hit on the leg by a piece of broken porcelain before she could dodge.
She shivered in pain, and when she raised her eyes she saw Concubine Zhang's dark and distorted face, and was frightened for a moment.
She was so frightened that she didn't dare lift her skirt to check the injury on her leg.
He gritted his teeth and endured the pain without making a sound. His big, round, lively eyes were misty, and his appearance was indescribably pitiful.
Concubine Zhang looked coldly at the pitiful Concubine Qian in front of her. The pair of big watery eyes on her delicate and pretty little face were very charming.
She didn't say anything, just kept staring at Qian Min'er.
Qian Min'er, who was frightened by the stare, touched her face unconsciously, her heart beating wildly.
I couldn't help feeling timid and frightened.
*
After a while,
Zhang Yuying's eyes lit up for a few seconds, and she suddenly answered the question irrelevantly.
"Not long ago, my father sent a message saying that your Qian family donated a lot of silver to the flood in Jiangnan this time."
"Ah? Oh, my father told me this when he sent a letter home. I thought the Emperor would send the Crown Prince to provide disaster relief, so I donated some more silver.
My original intention was also for my own good, I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can take more care of me.
Who would have thought that the emperor would actually send the second prince. Alas! "
Concubine Qian felt a little sad that the money was invested in the wrong place. No matter how rich the family was, it was all earned by my father's hard work!
Concubine Zhang did not comment, and then said,
"Do you know why I ask you this?"
"Ah? Why? I don't know?!"
Concubine Qian secretly moved the leg that was hit by the porcelain piece and felt the injury became more painful.
*
"You know what? Under my father's management, your Qian family has become a royal merchant. So, the money was not wasted."
"Ah? Really? Oh, thank you, Concubine Sister, you are so kind! I knew it must be you who helped."
As a minor concubine in the Eastern Palace, Qian Min'er had restrictions on communications with her family.
Hearing that her family was honored, a sincere and lovely smile appeared on her face.
But I heard Concubine Zhang continue to say,
"But what? I need you to do something?"
"what?"
Concubine Qian was surprised. Concubine Zhang went through such a big circle. Did that mean she wanted to repay her gratitude?
She was not stupid. She suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart and said tremblingly,
"Sister Concubine, what do you want me to do for you? I am timid and I am afraid I can't do it for you."
"Puff" Zhang Yuying laughed out loud.
"Concubine Qian, look at what you said, am I someone that you are afraid of and dare not approach?
Okay, all kidding aside, do you find yourself a little like a human being? "
"Ah? Who does he look like?"
"Fang Liangdi."
*
Zhang Yuying said, stretched out a jade hand and gently lifted Qian Miner's pointed chin, and said seriously,
“Although your face shape is not quite the same, your big, lively eyes and your coquettish demeanor are somewhat similar!
So, during this period of time, you should try to understand Fang Liangdi's behavior and manners, and I will tell you when I need you in the future."
When Concubine Qian heard that Concubine Zhang, whom she had tried to please in every way, actually called herself her sister this time.
She was a little scared and waved her hands hurriedly.
"Sister Concubine, I dare not compete with Fang Liangdi. If something really happens, my life will be gone. I dare not."
"Tsk! Look at your little bit of ability. Don't worry, you won't die. Since the prince can favor Fang Liangdi, it is enough to prove that he likes foxy girls.
But you are just like that. After dressing up carefully, you look like Fang Liangdi, not to mention that you are younger than her.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never seen you before, but now he has started to have sex. We, who were once decorations, still have a chance.
As a man, how can you have such a long-lasting love? !
It's understandable that you are still young and don't understand much.
but,
If you don't want to waste your time, just listen to your sister. Your fortune is in your own hands. Do you understand?"
...
*
I wonder what the two of them talked about?
Anyway, when Qian Min'er was helped back from the East Garden by her own maid, her mind was still in a daze.
There is no need to mention the two people in West Garden and North Garden. Just looking at the broken porcelain pieces on the floor in the house, you can tell that they went hysterical and crazy after returning.
Outsiders have no way of knowing the hustle and bustle in the East Palace and the thoughts of the women with their own ulterior motives.
Fang Qingge and the "recovering" prince closed the door of Yiqiu Courtyard and were sweet and sweet.
**
Let's say,
King Rui woke up after sleeping in the secret room for a whole day. After he was helped to wash and eat something, it was already evening.
"Go home."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As a result, he had a splitting headache and was dazed, so he was helped back to Prince Rui's Palace by his personal guards.
Before I even set foot into the study in the outer courtyard, I was startled by the crying sounds coming from the corner of the hanging flower gate leading to the inner courtyard, which gave me even more headaches.
"who?"
He stroked his forehead impatiently.
A maidservant in the dark under the hanging flower gate heard the prince's voice and poked her head out in surprise.
"The prince is the princess's chief maid." The guard said after seeing the person clearly.
*
The maidservant rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and then rushed out in surprise and joy.
Perhaps because she had been standing for too long, her legs and feet were completely numb. She took a few steps and staggered before falling to the ground with a thump.
He got up, stumbled a few steps, fell down again, and got up again.
Finally, the maidservant no longer cared about her good image and crawled to the front of King Rui.
She cried out in a hoarse voice,
"My Lord, you are finally back, please go and see the princess.
The princess gave birth prematurely, wuwuwuwu...it's been almost a day and the baby hasn't come out yet. I've been waiting here for you, wuwuwuwu...can you go and take a look?"
The maid's crying and begging suddenly made Liang Hengrui's mind sober up a little.
He suddenly shook off the guards' support and strode towards the inner courtyard. His personal eunuch Dongzi also followed in a hurry.
*
In the main courtyard,
Princess Ding Bingcheng was having a difficult labor, and her hoarse moans could be heard outside the delivery room, sometimes high and sometimes low.
The maids and servants in the yard had red eyes as they were busy carrying basins and pouring water under the instructions of the midwife and the female doctor.
King Rui, who had hurried over, stepped into the main courtyard gate when he heard Ding Bingcheng's scream.
