Chapter 206: Resolving Internal Conflict and Gaining Admiration
As for the incident at the palace, she dared to fight back at first because she thought that she was a member of the Huaiyang Palace, and this was under the feet of the emperor. If they could frame her like this, the truth would definitely be found out and she would be cleared of all charges.
However, what happened next made her feel scared.
It really doesn’t matter whether you check the truth or not.
The death of a person is just as important as the death of an ant.
Her life was saved by Ji Chuhe.
Now, she really has no desire to be a mistress anymore.
There's nothing wrong with being a concubine! You don't have to worry about so many things.
However, she must give birth to a child! Otherwise, her status will be even lower than Dong Ling!
Seeing that Xu Yan'er didn't speak for a long time, Ji Chuhe thought that she was still frightened.
"Aunt Xu, I can tell you clearly that my mother and I will not abandon the people in our Huaiyang Palace. You don't have to worry too much about the other party's identity. Even if the sky falls, my mother and I will hold it up." Ji Chuhe said softly again.
"Yes! Madam has said so, what are you afraid of? Aunt Xu, aren't you very powerful? Why are you scared all of a sudden?" Dong Ling walked forward and poked Xu Yan'er's shoulder.
Xu Yan'er pushed Dong Ling's hand away, looking angry.
"I know, you're just a bully."
Xu Yan'er did not retort, but turned to Ji Chuhe.
"Madam, I understand." This was the first time Xu Yan'er's attitude was so soft.
Ji Chuhe walked forward and patted Xu Yaner on the shoulder.
"No matter what conflicts we may have in the future, let's write them off. I am the prince's legal wife, and you are his concubines. We are a family, and we should live a good life. Harmony is better than anything else."
Dong Ling was so moved that her eyes turned red.
Xu Yan'er also choked up a little.
"Madam, if the Imperial Concubine attacks us again, how are Aunt Xu and I going to protect ourselves?" Dong Ling wanted to learn some tricks from the Madam.
Xu Yan'er also opened her eyes wide and waited for Ji Chuhe to speak.
"You did a great job this time. You refused to admit it and had the courage to risk it all and end up hurting both sides. Even if you encounter other things in the future, you should do the same and protect yourselves to the greatest extent possible." Ji Chuhe said to the two of them earnestly.
"Yes! We remember it!" Dong Ling nodded vigorously.
Ji Chuhe lowered her head to look at her bulging belly, raised her hand to touch it, and immediately, the baby responded to her.
"Is the baby good?"
"Good boy, so good boy!"
Xu Yan'er looked envious, "Dong Ling, can I touch it?"
"Touch it." Dong Ling responded generously.
Xu Yan'er put her hand down, and the child immediately had no reaction, but she was also very happy and excited.
"Aunt Xu, don't worry, you will have a child." Ji Chuhe comforted.
"Yeah." Xu Yan'er nodded.
"Let's go back first and let Madam rest early."
"it is good."
The two men immediately bowed and left.
Ji Chuhe looked at the two people's leaving backs and let out a sigh.
"Madam, you really worry about this family." Mianzhu looked at his master with heartache.
During this journey, everyone lost weight.
"Solving internal conflicts is equivalent to solving a major worry. I am so happy that I can't contain myself." Ji Chuhe responded softly.
"Madam, how can you be so kind! You are kind to us servants and to my aunt."
Ji Chuhe held Mianzhu's hand and said, "Silly girl, you and Aunt Ji are both my relatives."
"Madame Ji and I have said before that we are Madam's people in life and Madam's ghosts in death! In the next life, we will serve Madam and accompany Madam!"
"Go prepare the bath water. The old lady specifically told us not to get up early tomorrow so that we can have a good rest. I will respectfully obey your orders."
"Yes, I'll get ready right now."
However, things don't always go as planned.
Ji Chuhe was woken up before dawn.
She sat on the bed in a daze and couldn't help rubbing her aching head.
"Madam, Aunt Qingluo just came to pass on a message, saying that the Queen has summoned you and the Princess to the palace."
"The Queen summoned my mother and I to the palace? Didn't we just meet yesterday?"
"Who knows! The princess may not have gotten enough rest last night, so she's up now."
"Please help me to do my makeup." Ji Chuhe had to force herself to get up.
It would take an hour just to wash, dress and get dressed, and it would be late by the time I got back to the palace.
It’s not too early to get up at this time.
Ji Chuhe took a nap while dressing up, and after she woke up a little, her mind started working uncontrollably again.
It is impossible that the Queen summoned them into the palace without a purpose.
But what is this purpose?
She searched her mind for memories of her past life.
In her previous life, she was the wife of a minister and her status was relatively low, not as high as her current status as the wife of the Crown Prince of Huaiyang Palace. She had only entered the palace twice in total.
Besides, in her previous life, for the sake of Shen Chengjing's career, she was mostly trying to figure out the emperor's will and paid more attention to the affairs of the court, but didn't pay much attention to the harem.
Until her death, the emperor had not yet appointed a crown prince.
The queen has a son, two daughters, the eldest princess and the third prince, and a seventh princess.
The eldest princess is married.
The third prince is of mediocre talent, not as versatile as the fourth prince.
However, everyone in the court knew that the Third Prince was full of respect and admiration for the Emperor, almost to the point of being insane.
He only has his father in his heart.
On the other hand, the Fourth Prince also went to court with the Third Prince to attend government affairs.
Sometimes the emperor would ask him a few questions and he would be able to discuss state affairs. Sometimes, he would speak very clearly and some old ministers would praise him.
When the emperor asked the third prince the same question, the third prince always hesitated and could not answer.
The court officials were more or less disappointed with him.
However, the emperor was in his prime, and no one dared to mention the issue of appointing a crown prince.
No matter how much he likes the Fourth Prince, he dare not show it.
In his previous life, Shen Chengjing had wanted to join the Fourth Prince.
She felt that it was not appropriate to make a decision so early and that she needed to observe the situation further.
So, she secretly kept an eye on the Third Prince, and she actually discovered some unknown secrets.
The third prince is no simple person.
She was certain that the position of crown prince would belong to the third prince in the future.
In this life, for the sake of Huaiyang Palace, she must plan carefully.
Xiao Yan'an was also going to enter the palace, but he was going to meet a different person, so he waited to enter the palace with the princess and Ji Chuhe.
This time, the princess and Ji Chuhe each rode in a carriage, and Xiao Yanan followed on horseback.
He did not follow Ji Chuhe's carriage, but walked close to the princess's carriage.
The princess felt that he seemed to have something to say to her, but he did not take the initiative to say it.
As soon as he arrived in the imperial capital, something happened. He was no longer the child he was the last time he came. He had eyes to see, a heart to think, and the ability to judge.
It's time for him to grow up.
"Mother." Xiao Yan'an finally couldn't help but speak.
"What's the matter?" The princess responded calmly.
"Mother, I'm sorry." Xiao Yan'an apologized softly.
The princess was stunned. She didn't expect him to apologize so suddenly.
"Mother, I was ignorant before. I didn't understand your and father's painstaking efforts, and I kept contradicting you."
"You can understand the painstaking efforts of your father and mother, that's enough. Was it He'er who gave you the advice you gave to Concubine Luo yesterday in the palace?"
"Madam told me to put aside my pride and learn how to disguise myself."
"You did very well."
"Mother, I will never let you down again."
"Mother has never been truly disappointed in you."
