Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 223 Breaking the situation?

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much." Huai Xu brought a basin of goat's milk and handed it to Concubine Hui Meng Xinghe, who was staring at the rustling bamboo leaves outside the window in a daze.

Meng Xinghe looked up in surprise, and she just cleared her mind for a moment.

"What are you worried about? Is the Fourth Prince in trouble again?"

Meng Xinghe felt that since Qin Mingyun went to Shangxiang Palace to study, he had become as naughty as Monkey King who had escaped from the Five Finger Mountain.

After school, he was reluctant to go back to Suzaku Palace. He played until dark and then reluctantly returned to the palace.

Normally, he loved to instigate his two elder brothers, the eldest prince and the third prince, to make trouble with him and share the responsibility. However, he was the youngest among the three brothers who got into trouble, so he had the least responsibility.

A few days ago, he took away all the shoes that his father's ministers took off outside the court and hid them. Not long after, he stole the lion cat raised by Concubine Yu in Hanzhang Palace.

She was fed up with the endless apologies all day long.

She said it all and scolded her, but Qin Mingyun had better reasons than her. No, they were all fallacies and excuses, or it was just a "misunderstanding", and she completely shirked her responsibility.

Although Meng Xinghe had thought that her child might have his own ideas in the future when the fourth prince Qin Mingyun was still blowing bubbles in his cradle, this was too much. How old was he? It was not the time for him to make a decision yet. And was getting into trouble an idea? He was just being naughty.

This child is really hard to manage. He is too smart. She is no longer able to control this kid. His Majesty doesn't care either and even has an indulgent attitude towards him. What a spoiled son a loving father may have!

There were still too few homework assignments. One day, she would go to His Majesty to ask for changes to the rules of Shangxiang Palace. The study system of the Qing Dynasty princes that she had come across by chance in her previous life was very good.

No matter what book it is, they have to memorize it 10 times, study it day and night, and study for hours a day. Five days off a year is very suitable for these energetic princes.

Now, Chen enters and Shen exits, and we have a rest every five days. It's too easy.

Old mother is angry ╰_╯

"Your Majesty, this is not the Fourth Prince's business." Huai Xu lowered his eyes and said.

"What's that?"

Meng Xinghe pushed the basin of milk in front of her and asked the palace servant to give her the panda cub that Qin Zhi had given her last month.

"Your brother, Master Meng, had an affair with the Princess of Qi without a matchmaker and was imprisoned."

Meng Xinghe was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.

Although she was not a native of ancient times, she has been there for so many years that even a fool can feel the emphasis that feudal society placed on rituals and filial piety. Rituals and filial piety were the political correctness of ancient feudal society.

How should she do this?

Ask His Majesty to find out the truth and clear Meng Xingye's name? Ask for mercy? Don't ask for mercy? It seems both are wrong.

It’s not just that she’s worried about Meng Xingye. If she doesn’t handle it well, she’ll be in trouble too.

"Aunt Huaixu, what should I do?" Meng Xinghe was a little at a loss.

"What should I do? Mother, I'm back. Did you miss me? I miss you!"

The fourth prince Qin Mingyun rushed to Meng Xinghe, who was sitting there in a daze, like a small cannonball, easily snatched the panda cub away and held it in front of him.

He was about to run away, but he found that his mother had a dazed look on her face and had no intention of catching him, so he stopped.

"Mother, if you have any troubles, please tell me."

The panda cub was like a doll, being locked tightly against the chest of the Fourth Prince Qin Mingyun with no restraint, and struggling with its limbs.

"Your uncle is in trouble."

"What happened? Never mind. I'll go to my father and act like a spoiled child and ask for mercy later. My father dotes on me the most." Qin Mingyun raised his little face with pride and confidence.

Huai Xu nodded, full of agreement.

As for who His Majesty favors the most, it depends on who says it. But ignoring the Fourth Prince's insignificant boast, in Huai Xu's opinion, letting the young Fourth Prince plead for his maternal uncle is the best choice to break the impasse for Concubine Hui.

Regardless of whether the Fourth Prince's plea succeeds or not, it shows that Concubine Hui is not ruthless towards her brother and that she upholds propriety and filial piety. This happens to be the best way to resolve Concubine Hui's current dilemma.

Save yourself first. As for Master Meng, it all depends on fate. Huai Xu was a little pessimistic.

Now we can only hope that Concubine Hui will focus on herself first and let the young Fourth Prince plead with His Majesty on her behalf, instead of forcing herself to step in to rescue him.
