Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 364 The eldest prince moved to Ningyuxuan

royal palace.

As the New Year approached, two major events occurred in the palace.

The first thing was that the deposed queen who was imprisoned in Heyuan was sent to the Ministry of Punishment for some unknown reason.

It seems that she may have to spend this New Year with Concubine Lin who is already imprisoned there.

The second thing was that the eldest prince moved out of Linhua Palace and moved into Ningyuxuan.

The official statement was that the eldest prince cried and made a fuss, wanting to live in Ningyuxuan, and the emperor and Concubine Yi agreed to his request out of pity for his frail health.

But this argument does not hold water.

Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Yi protected the eldest prince like the apple of her eye and would never allow anyone to take the eldest prince away from her.

So everyone was speculating that Concubine Yi might have done something wrong regarding the eldest prince.

The emperor punished her and forbade her to raise the eldest prince.

Yes, if the eldest prince is raised like that, no matter how much Concubine Yi cares about him, the emperor will definitely not be satisfied.

Autumn Dance Pavilion.

After returning from the Yangxin Palace that day, Shi Yaoyao has been in a state of panic.

Although she still went to the Cining Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager every day, the Empress Dowager was angry in the Cining Palace every day because Concubine Ye was not punished.

Despite her consolation, the empress dowager was still very angry, and she continued to be angry until Concubine Lin was arrested and taken to the Ministry of Punishment. Only then did the empress dowager calm down.

Although she was also responsible for the capture of Concubine Shu, she was caught off guard by the capture of Concubine Lin at the same time.

She regretted it now. She regretted that she had impulsively joined the name of Concubine Lin and was dragged into the quagmire of Concubine Shu by Concubine Lin.

The Emperor has not yet dealt with Concubine Lin, perhaps because the New Year is approaching.

After the Chinese New Year, we still don’t know what the rules will be?

Will Concubine Lin betray her?

She didn't dare to bet that Concubine Lin would protect her.

Her selfishness and cruelty can be seen from the fact that she was brought to Concubine Shu.

These days she has been thinking, if the emperor knew that she was involved in this, would she also be sent to the Ministry of Punishment.

Fortunately, she had planned ahead and hugged the Queen Mother's thigh tightly. Even if something happened, the Queen Mother could protect her.

After all, no matter how bad it is, the empress dowager is still the emperor's biological mother.

"Lian'er, let's go to the Cining Palace."

Shi Yaoyao stood up and gave orders.

Lian'er obediently took out a large fur cloak and put it on her.

It’s too cold outside, and going to the Cining Palace every day is a torture.

Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother lifted the house arrest and looked much more energetic. When she saw Shi Yaoyao come in, she didn't ask her to bow.

"We are all family, please sit down."

Shi Yaoyao insisted on performing the ceremony in a complete manner, and then saluted Xu Rou, who was sitting there with a pout on her face.

"Get up."

Xu Rou came to Cining Palace today to talk to the Queen Mother about the eldest prince.

She was a little confused as to why the emperor had brought the eldest prince to Ning Yuxuan.

This matter spread throughout the entire harem last night, and almost everyone who knew the news was thinking about this question.

"Aunt, is it possible that the Emperor asked that bitch Ye Jieyu to raise the eldest prince in order to take this opportunity to promote her position?"

This was the conclusion she came to after thinking about it for half the night.

She was really worried that Concubine Ye would continue to be promoted to the position of queen.

When the empress dowager heard her mention Concubine Ye, her face fell. She had been thinking about this issue last night.

It has to be said that her thoughts were similar to Xu Rou's. She also believed that the emperor was trying to give face to Concubine Ye and let her take the opportunity to ascend to the throne.

"What did Shi Cairen say?"

Xu Rou asked Shi Cairen.

Sometimes she had to admit that this talented historian was a man with his own ideas.

"My younger sister thinks differently from my older sister."

"Tell me."

The Queen Mother looked at Shi Yaoyao and spoke gently.

The Queen Mother was always kind to Shi Yaoyao, and the child always stayed with her when she was in the most difficult and helpless times.

Now that she is released from house arrest, if she wants to take back the management rights of the harem from Concubine Du in the future, she will need this child to help make decisions.

"I feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Everyone knows how much Concubine Yi protects the eldest prince."

"This Yipin is very attentive to Gao'er."

Even the Queen Mother would not erase Concubine Yi's contributions.

"But this time the eldest prince was taken away from Linhua Palace, and I heard that Concubine Yi didn't cry or make a fuss. This is a bit unreasonable."

Shi Yaoyao continued her analysis.

"Hearing you put it that way, it does make sense, but...what is this for?"

Xu Rou felt that her brain was not enough again.

"I guess that Concubine Yi might have made a big mistake. I heard that she went to the Yangxin Palace yesterday."

"That makes sense. She angered the emperor, and the emperor was angry, so he didn't allow her to raise the eldest prince."

Xu Rou felt that this must be the reason.

"But it doesn't make sense to hand over the eldest prince to Ning Yuxuan."

After all, the Queen Mother has been in the harem for so many years, and her thoughts must be deeper than Xu Rou's.

"Maybe... I mean maybe, maybe that Concubine Ye deliberately framed Concubine Yi, and then raised the eldest prince under her lap..."

Shi Yaoyao was just guessing, she said hesitantly.

"I knew it, it must be like this. Auntie forgot that on the day of the Little New Year, Concubine Ye hugged the eldest prince and refused to let go. She must have had the idea at that time."

Xu Rou yelled.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but glare at her impatient niece and successfully made Xu Rou shut up.

"That doesn't make sense. Concubine Ye is still young and hasn't even started serving the emperor yet. She will have her own children in the future."

I have to say that the Queen Mother's IQ was online at this time.

"She wouldn't raise a prince who could die at any time and cause trouble for herself. This doesn't make sense..."

The Queen Mother showed no sympathy when she spoke of the eldest prince.

It’s like...she is not the eldest prince’s biological grandmother.

And now she is talking about a random person, as if he has nothing to do with her.

The empress dowager's coldness made Shi Yaoyao look at her more.

"Let's think about it the other way around. If she raises the eldest prince well, wouldn't that be a great achievement? When the emperor wants to promote her..."

"Impossible. The eldest prince could die at any time. How could she possibly take good care of him?"

Xu Rou also knew that she couldn't say this loudly, so she could only lower her voice and refute Shi Yaoyao's words.

"How is it impossible? Wasn't the eldest princess nursed back to health in Ning Yuxuan?"

Shi Yaoyao boldly refuted Xu Rou.

"Ting'er is different."

The Queen Mother waved her hand to stop them from arguing.

"Ting'er is weak because she has been picky about food since she was a child. When she grew up, she knew that only by eating well can she be healthy."

The Queen Mother knows best about these two children.

"Gao'er is different. He was poisoned when he was in the womb. He can't eat anything. He will feel unbearable pain if he eats one more bite."

"He's getting weaker now because his body has to grow bigger and taller as he gets older."

"But he couldn't eat, and his body couldn't get enough nutrients..."
