Chapter 258
Author: Qing Yunmo
The original thought was actually a casual thought and was not taken seriously.
But now the emperor is getting serious.
Wanmei cannot raise children.
Even if the child's health is fine, problems will arise after being tortured like this over and over again.
But if the eighth prince is given up to other concubines, who is the suitable candidate?
The emperor thought for a long time and first thought it would be best to give it to Yongning Palace.
He thought so, and casually asked Shou'an, "What do you think of carrying the Eighth Prince to Yongning Palace? The Eighth Prince is also well-behaved, and he might be able to please the Queen when he is there."
Shou'an's smile suddenly froze.
He is just a slave, why should you tell him this?
"The Crown Princess often takes the young master to Yongning Palace." Shou'an said.
When the emperor thought about it, it was inappropriate.
The queen already has a child, and having another one will inevitably lead to more troubles.
He thought about it one after another.
If the queen can't do it, what about Concubine Zheng?
Thinking that he didn't want to stand here anymore, he turned around and went to Cuiwei Palace.
Concubine Zheng raised a lot of snow-white koi carps in the pond in the yard. At this time, she ordered someone to move a small stool, and she sat by the pond and watched the fish.
After watching for a while, I was about to stand up with the help of the maid next to me and go back to the room to lie down for a while, when I heard someone shouting at the door, saying that Your Majesty is here.
Concubine Zheng could only go over to greet him. She actually didn't believe that His Majesty would come, she just thought he was passing by to take a look.
Unexpectedly, the emperor actually walked in.
The emperor had already had some iced drinks and snacks at Lin Guiren's place. At this time, he just waved his hand and said, "No need to serve tea. I just want to say a few words."
When Concubine Zheng heard this, she asked several palace officials to go down.
"What do you think about me bringing the Eighth Prince to you?" the emperor said.
Concubine Zheng was startled. Was it too windy just now? Did she hear wrongly?
"What did you say, Your Majesty?"
The emperor glanced at Shou'an, and Shou'an said, "Your Majesty thinks that Concubine Zheng is kind and that she can raise the eighth prince."
Concubine Zheng: "..." Damn it, how could she not know her reputation for being kind? There were many people in the harem who said she was arrogant and difficult to get along with, and there were even a lot of people who said she was domineering.
But the focus now is not on being friendly or not, the focus is on why she wants to raise the eighth prince?
It’s not like she doesn’t have a son herself, she already has a grandson, and it’s not like Wan Meiren is dead, so she’s raising Wan Meiren’s child?
Besides, even if Wan Meiren is really dead, she doesn't want it.
She is fine in the harem, eating and sleeping well all day without any worries, why can't she think about taking care of a child, a child that has nothing to do with her.
Concubine Zheng was unwilling and said directly, "I don't want it."
"Concubine Zheng." The emperor's voice turned cold obviously.
Concubine Zheng hummed in her heart, even if she was angry, she would say that if she really held an eighth prince here, she would cry to death.
The emperor was angry at first, thinking that Concubine Zheng was disobedient, but soon he realized something else.
Compared with Wanmei, Concubine Zheng's temperament is only a little better, but not much better.
As for the Seventh Prince not growing crooked, he attributed it to himself.
After all, among these sons, only the seventh prince spent the most time with him, and he was personally involved in all aspects.
But if it were the eighth prince, he would definitely not care too much, and the only one who would care about it would be Concubine Zheng.
The emperor looked embarrassed and looked at Concubine Zheng with a dark look. If the eighth prince and Concubine Zheng learned their temper, he would be angry to death.
Before Concubine Zheng could think of a reason, she saw the emperor sighing, "Forget it, just don't want it if you don't want it."
Concubine Zheng was very suspicious, but the most important thing now was not to take over this matter.
As for what the emperor was thinking, she had no control over it.
In fact, the emperor had not seen Concubine Zheng for many days. After all, she was a woman he had loved for more than ten years. After not seeing her for so long, he found that her appearance was not much different from that of more than ten years ago, so he said, "You will come to me tomorrow."
Let’s have lunch there.”
Concubine Zheng’s eyes widened. She had lunch? Then she must have indigestion?
But Concubine Zheng couldn't refuse, so she could only say yes happily.
After leaving Fuying Tower, the emperor stood not far from the door and began to think about who else was qualified to raise the eighth prince.
From Concubine Zheng, we can see clearly that concubines with children are not suitable to raise.
The biological ones are all married and have wives, and I don’t know how many grandchildren there are, but the ones who have no heirs... this is not enough.
After much deliberation, the emperor didn't have any rules.
Shou'an was still talking at the side, "The Queen Mother is very lonely in the palace. In the past, she often asked the girls at home to come into the palace to keep her company."
When the emperor heard this, he understood that the queen mother asked these girls to come to the palace to accompany her, not because she was lonely and wanted company.
Instead, he wanted to stuff these girls into the harem.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, not saying whether Shou'an's opinion was good or not. Anyway, the place he was walking was Guangming Palace.
In the evening, Shou'an took several young eunuchs to Cuiwei Palace.
They picked up the Eighth Prince from Cuiwei Palace and sent him to the Queen Mother without any delay.
The Queen Mother looked at the child in front of her blankly, not understanding.
…
Listening to Su Xi's words, Yun Zhao was also startled, "The Eighth Prince went to the Queen Mother?"
Didn't Wanmei make a fuss?
Su Xi nodded, "They say the Queen Mother is not very happy."
Yun Zhaoxin said, if this can make you happy, it will be like seeing a ghost.
The emperor thought that he could send the eighth prince to the queen mother today, and he could send the eighth prince from the queen mother to another place tomorrow.
Still haven't quite decided yet.
Therefore, the Queen Mother raised the Eighth Prince, but it was only temporary, and she would not get much benefit. How could she be willing to do so?
But what can she do if she doesn't want to? The Queen Mother can't throw the Eighth Prince out.
"Where's Wanmei?"
There was a subtle expression on Su Xi's face, "Your Majesty lifted Wan Mei's ban yesterday, and Wan Mei immediately went to the Queen Mother to start a quarrel."
Yun Zhao's hand holding the tea cup hung in the air, "Are you starting to argue?"
"Yes, it was quite noisy. Wanmei was very rude in her words."
Yun Zhao: "..."
If you're not polite, don't be polite. Anyway, it has nothing to do with her.
Xiao Yandi played on the swing outside for a while, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He trotted over, and a group of palace servants behind him shouted to the young master to slow down and don't fall.
Yun Zhao lowered his head and looked at Yi Yi holding his legs. He reached for a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and asked softly, "Are you having fun?"
Xiao Yandi blinked and nodded with a blushing face, "Happy."
Yun Zhao touched his back and found that his clothes were quite wet, so he asked Su Xi to take people to the side hall to change into clean clothes.
Just then Qiuyue came over from outside, holding a cat in her hand.
The gray civet flower looks like a plump sea cucumber at first glance because it is so well maintained.
