Chapter 233: Picking up soft persimmons
When everyone arrived, Fang Pei was lying on the bed crying.
His face was pale and his eyes were swollen from crying.
The third princess next to her stood in the corner with her head lowered, not daring to show her face. The eldest prince sat on the chair beside the bed, his face dark.
If you look carefully, you can still see a faint slap mark on the face of the third princess.
Not surprisingly, the eldest prince must have been the one to do it.
Emperor Chengjing would naturally not come to deal with this junior matter, but now that the Queen is away, Concubine Chen had to make this trip to deal with the inner chamber.
The rest are the group in the East Palace and the second prince and others. The other concubines of Emperor Chengjing have low status and are not qualified to take care of them.
Concubine Chen entered the room, glanced briefly at everyone in the room, and then asked the imperial doctor about the situation.
The answer I got was of course that Concubine Fang had had a miscarriage and the child was gone.
After she asked this question, Fang Pei was probably stimulated again, and he started crying harder and harder. Looking at it like that, he almost lost his breath.
Fang Yun stood in the crowd and looked at it coldly, only feeling it was funny.
Is this the couple Fang Hongshen and Zhao who made every possible effort to find a good marriage for their legitimate daughter? After more than a year of marriage, they had two miscarriages.
Tsk, it’s okay if you don’t want this blessing.
She would rather be infertile than suffer this fate, Fang Yun thought silently.
"What exactly happened? They got into a quarrel and even moved their hands. Tell me what it looked like." Concubine Chen lifted up her robe and sat down, looking somewhat majestic.
The maid she pointed out was Fang Pei's dowry, Lanzhi.
But at this moment, Lanzhi hesitated and couldn't explain why.
He just kept looking at Fang Pei, who was lying on the couch, asking for help, but Fang Pei was crying so sadly that he didn't even pay attention to what Concubine Chen said.
And why Lanzhi didn't say anything? It was because the content of the quarrel between the sister-in-law and sister-in-law was impossible to explain.
Today the third princess is here to find the eldest prince and discuss matters regarding his upcoming return to the palace.
When she returned to the palace this time, Empress Li's confinement was about to expire in two days. As the aunt of the middle palace, she naturally had to attend the fifth prince's full moon banquet.
The third princess just wanted to discuss with the eldest prince how to take advantage of the fifth prince's full moon banquet to ease the relationship between the queen mother and Emperor Chengjing.
But I didn't expect that when I came over, I didn't see the eldest prince, but I saw Fang Pei who came to bring snacks to the eldest prince.
Because of what happened at the tea banquet last time, the third princess felt that Fang Pei was a useless fool, and now she disliked her very much, so when they met, they were rude in their words.
At first, Fang Pei tolerated a few words, but as the third princess's words became more and more excessive, and she also said that she was not as good as Fang Yue, Fang Pei couldn't bear it anymore.
To put it bluntly, she is still the sister-in-law of the third princess, and the third princess should respect her.
But these words attracted the ridicule of the third princess.
She called Fang Pei a concubine, ungrateful, and dared to call herself her sister-in-law.
First she said she was not as good as Fang Pei, and then she said she was a concubine. The third princess stepped on Fang Pei's two major faults one after another. Then Fang Pei was no longer Fang Pei, she was just letting off steam.
He also criticized the third princess, saying that she was so arrogant and would not be able to marry a successful husband in the future.
In short, the two of them were talking to each other, and the third princess was the first to get angry, thinking that outsiders couldn't do anything, but she couldn't take care of her own?
With this slap, Fang Yoong staggered twice and fell down, making him blush.
When the eldest prince arrived, he saw blood on Fang Pei's skirt. He was so angry that he slapped the third princess on the spot.
After getting into trouble, the third princess didn't dare to say anything. She didn't fight back or say anything back, and huddled in the corner until now.
You said such a process, who would dare to talk about it in front of Concubine Chen?
So the eldest prince had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand up.
"Concubine Chen, what happened today was really an accident. Third sister and Fang had a verbal dispute over some trivial matters, and the words got a little heated. Fang accidentally fell down, which led to a tragic disaster. However, Fang herself did not
I didn’t know I was pregnant, otherwise I wouldn’t have been so careless.”
After hearing this vague explanation, Concubine Chen did not continue to delve deeper.
In fact, she didn't want to care about this matter at first. If he hadn't rushed to her, she wouldn't have paid attention to it.
So when faced with the eldest prince's remarks that even a fool could see were problematic, Concubine Chen just sighed and pretended to scold him.
"The emperor often said that brotherhood should be harmonious. Isn't this the same principle between sisters and sisters? Look at the commotion today. There is no child. It doesn't matter that the third princess didn't mean it after all. Mrs. Fang herself was too careless. What happened now.
Just take good care of it.”
This is considered standard and thin.
But yes, the eldest prince and the third princess were both born to Empress Li, and Concubine Chen took care of her legitimate children as a concubine only when she was overstretched.
But Fang Pei, who had lost his child, was of course unwilling to do so.
But before she could say anything, the eldest prince forced her to swallow her words back.
Fang Yun silently took all this in his eyes and only wanted to say two words, he deserved it.
After everyone left, Fang Pei couldn't help crying anymore and stared at the third princess with hatred on his face.
"Child, you give me back my child, why, why do you do this to me?!"
Looking at the heartbroken Fang Pei who was crying, it turned out that they had been in love for more than a year after all, and the third princess had indeed gone too far today, and the eldest prince was also angry.
He directly ordered people to drive the third princess away, and then sat down by the couch to comfort Fang Pei.
"You are still young. You will definitely have children again. Don't cry. You will be able to go back in a few days. I will ask the imperial doctor to prescribe the best prescription for you and take good care of you."
"What about this child? Did he disappear like this without any reason? Your Highness, if the third princess hadn't pushed me, how could I have fallen down, and how could this child have had a miscarriage? Your Highness, this is your child too.
ah!"
Fang Pei was a little reluctant, clutching the eldest prince's sleeve tightly, trying to get an explanation.
But she overestimated her status and didn't think carefully about how she got into her current situation.
Therefore, the eldest prince was a little impatient with his questioning, but seeing how pitiful she was at this moment, he still patiently tried to coax her a few words.
"What happened today was that Yu'er went too far. I will definitely scold her later. The matter has come to this, and the most important thing is that you take good care of your body."
"Is Your Highness just scolding you?" Fang Pei didn't see the irritation on the eldest prince's face, and still refused to let go, "This is a living life, the flesh and blood of Your Highness and I! It's just gone."
"Then what do you want me to do? That's my biological sister. I've already slapped her. Do I want her to kill the child in your belly?"
"Ms. Fang, if you hadn't been fooling around today, if you had just endured it and not argued with Yu'er, would this have happened?"
"My mother is grounded, I'm already very upset, and you do these things again, you really think I'm very idle, don't you?!"
The eldest prince finally couldn't control the anger in his heart, threw Fang Pei's hand away, stood up and shouted angrily.
Seeing the man in front of him accusing and scolding him, Fang Pei was stunned, at a loss, and even stopped crying.
After stroking the wrinkles on his sleeves, the eldest prince glanced at her. After venting his anger, he felt a little unbearable, and frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, take good care of yourself. I'll come see you when I have time."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
After he walked away, the slaves in the courtyard heard the heartbreaking cry of a woman coming from the back room.
However, such an incident that made Fang Pei devastated did not cause any ripples at all, and it was not even as big as the response when Fang Yun was in danger last time.
