Chapter 593: Killing King Ping
Chapter 593: Killing King Ping
When Concubine Xu heard that Ji Chuhe wanted to register a child born to a concubine under her own name.
Also guessed.
Ji Chuhe has not yet won the favor of the prince!
Ji Chuhe wanted to snatch the concubine's child.
Ji Chuhe really uses all means to consolidate his position.
Now it seems that those were all her imagination!
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The princess held You'er in her arms, took out a small gold lock from her body, and put it on You'er herself.
"You'er, this was specially made for you by your grandmother, and I finally put it on you with my own hands."
"Thank you, grandma." You'er thanked her obediently.
The princess couldn't help but kiss You'er on the cheek, "When I see You'er, I think of Yan'an when he was a child. The comparison makes me want to beat him even more!"
Ji Chuhe couldn't help but smile and waved to Dong Ling again.
"Auntie Dong, bring Xin'er over here for Mother to see."
"Yes." Dong Ling immediately stepped forward and saluted the princess while holding the child.
The princess took a look at the child and said, "She is very cute. Dong Ling is a good child. She gave birth to a pair of children for the prince. She should be rewarded."
"Your Highness, I have already rewarded the ladies who deserved the rewards. The lady has been so kind to me, and it is my honor to give birth to a pair of children for her."
The princess felt a little strange when she heard this, but she couldn't find any fault with it.
Concubine Xu was shocked.
This is really because I am old and I can see everything.
When a concubine gave birth to a child, she actually said that the child was born by the mistress.
She didn’t understand. Could it be that Ji Chuhe couldn’t give birth to a child herself?
The princess still prepared a gift for Dong Ling and her daughter.
Dong Ling happily accepted it.
"Yun'er, come here." Ji Qingyuan waved to Yun'er again.
Yun'er immediately walked up to Ji Chuhe.
"Mother, this is Yun'er. I have already recognized her as my daughter and changed her name to Xiao Yun'er." After Ji Chuhe introduced her, he gently said to Yun'er, "Go and pay your respects to your grandmother."
Yun'er walked forward with her back straight, and the little girl actually had some of the grace and elegance of a lady from a noble family.
"Yun'er greets grandma."
"Get up quickly, your grandmother has also prepared a gift for you." The princess even acknowledged this child who was not related to her by blood.
Lin Siyou was a little shocked.
Doesn’t the princess care about the royal bloodline at all?
Prince Huaiyang was a king, of royal blood.
It doesn’t matter if she’s a concubine’s child, she’s still the prince’s flesh and blood.
However, such a little girl of unknown origin could actually become the eldest daughter of the prince!
Not worried at all. Is the bloodline mixed up?
How could the princess be so indulgent to Ji Chuhe?
She realized that Concubine Xu was just a figurehead and the princess was the one who actually held power in the Huaiyang Palace.
"Aunt Lin, come and pay your respects to mother too." Ji Chuhe suddenly called out to Lin Siyou.
Lin Siyou was startled and quickly forced herself to calm down and walked forward slowly.
"I pay my respects to the princess."
"You...why do you look so much like..." Concubine Xu was a little surprised and pointed at Lin Siyou, but she didn't dare to say the name Xu Yan'er.
How did Xu Yan'er die?
She knew it too.
She actually went to assassinate Ji Chuhe. Even if the old lady of the Duke of Rong's Mansion did not beat Xu Yan'er to death, she knew that the princess would not let Xu Yan'er go, and Xu Yan'er would not be able to escape death.
That's why she didn't call out Xu Yan'er's name.
The princess didn't like Xu Yan'er in the first place, and Lin Siyou was somewhat similar to her. She had to calmly distinguish between the two so as not to force Lin Siyou to bear her dislike.
However, Lin Siyou is not an easy person to deal with either!
In order to gain favor, she actually hurt the baby in her belly.
The princess did not let Lin Siyou stand up immediately.
Lin Siyou raised her head nervously, but when she met the princess's gaze, she shrank back in fear and quickly lowered her head.
"Mrs. Lin, you hurt the heir of the prince, and the prince's wife was kind enough to forgive you this time. If you do something stupid like this again next time, no one can save you! I know you didn't sign a death contract, but a good concubine, but I will drive you out of the house. I want to see how you can live the rest of your life."
Lin Siyou was so frightened that her face turned pale. She kowtowed to the princess quickly, "Princess, please calm down. I will never do such stupid things again. I already know I am wrong."
"Get up." The princess still didn't give Lin Siyou a good look.
Concubine Xu didn't say anything, but just looked at Lin Siyou's face, feeling a surge of emotion in her heart.
After meeting the new people in the mansion, Ji Chuhe accompanied Concubine Xu and the princess around the mansion before sending them back to the palace.
Not long after, Prince Huaiyang and Xiao Yan'an also returned to the palace.
Both of them smelled of alcohol.
"Go get a basin of water and wash the faces of the prince and the prince." The princess ordered.
The maid immediately went to prepare.
After washing their faces, the smell of alcohol on both of them dissipated a lot.
"Yan'an, it's getting late. He'er has been tired after a whole day. You should take He'er back to have some rest." Xiao Yan'an from the Huaiyang Dynasty ordered.
"Yes, father, we'll take our leave first." Xiao Yan'an and Ji Chuhe stood up and left.
After the two left, the princess personally wrung out a handkerchief and placed it on Prince Huaiyang's forehead.
"It's okay. I just drank a little too much today, but I'm not drunk." Prince Huaiyang held the princess's hand tightly. "How are you guys in the harem? Nothing happened, right?"
"It's nothing. I was worried that the Queen Mother would keep the Concubine Dowager in the palace, but this time she didn't." The princess responded softly.
"My Lord, how are you guys doing?"
"Today the Emperor held a family dinner and invited us to reminisce about the past. However, he called Prince Ping."
"Prince Ping?" The princess was a little surprised.
"Yeah, he just can't tolerate me, and he wants to use this method to ruin my reputation."
"Your Majesty, we have our own countermeasures. How could we allow him to frame you with such dirty accusations?"
"That's right." Prince Huaiyang's eyes were firm. "If the emperor fails to frame me, no matter what other means he uses, I will send you and your two children back to Huaiyang safely!"
"Your Majesty, we will all leave the capital safely. Today I went to the Prince's Mansion and met the three children. Although they are not He'er's biological children, they were all raised very well by her, especially You'er. At first glance, I had an illusion that this child was like He'er's biological child."
"I can see that you like this child very much, too."
"How bad can a child that He'er likes be? Your Majesty, what I want to tell you is that no matter what happens, our family must be fine. We can't lose anyone."
The princess knew that in this situation, her idea was a bit unrealistic.
However, everything depends on human efforts.
……
Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an returned to the Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Yanan's face remained gloomy.
"Madam, why don't we just kill King Ping directly!" Xiao Yan'an suddenly said.
