Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Just as the Second Prince lifted the little palace maid's chin and looked at her carefully, Concubine Sheng spoke.

"Hong'er, you need to change your temper."

"Mother, I know. I'll take this little maid away."

The second prince stood up, said something to Concubine Sheng, then took the little palace maid and walked out.

Concubine Sheng felt helpless seeing her son like this.

She is helping her son pave the way for himself, but what is her son doing? He just eats, drinks and has fun every day.

She didn't know if she could really help her son get the position of crown prince. With her son's personality, she was not sure whether he could keep it.

While Concubine Sheng was worried about her son, the Second Prince, being incompetent, other things were also happening in Jingren Palace.

Concubine Rou was sitting on the main seat, and in front of her was a woman in luxurious clothes kneeling and crying to her.

"Sister, please help my master!"

"Sister, you get up first."

"No, if my sister doesn't agree, I will keep kneeling here."

After the woman said this, Concubine Rou's face suddenly turned bad.

Ever since she entered the palace, because her father was the King of Yue who guarded the southern border, not only other concubines but even the queen would be courteous to her and exempted her from the rule of paying respects to the queen's palace every day. She only had to go once on the first and fifteenth day of the month to show respect to the queen.

Before she got married, she was the eldest daughter of a family with outstanding appearance and was highly regarded by her family. She was trained to be the queen.

However, due to various reasons, she was only granted the title of Imperial Concubine when she entered the palace. Even so, except for the Queen, no one in the harem dared to oppose her opinion.

After living smoothly for so many years, Concubine Rou could no longer tolerate being rejected, even by her own sister.

Seeing her sister still kneeling there, Concubine Rou felt very unhappy. When the two of them talked next, she no longer mentioned the matter of asking people to stand up.

"Sister, you said that your brother-in-law's position as prefect was taken away by Prince Chen."

"That's right, sister, you may not know that Prince Chen also beat your nephew severely."

"Oh, Guangqing did something to offend Prince Chen."

"This……"

"Why, is there something you can't tell me?"

"Sister, no, no, there is nothing I can't tell you."

Although this woman's status is not as noble as Concubine Rou's, she is still the boss at home, and even her husband Song He has to listen to her.

Even though Song He held a high position and was in charge of all government affairs, she would still beat and scold him if he made her unhappy.

It can be said that she is the one who has the final say in her own home. Her master coaxes her and she lives a good life.

Over the years, she had never knelt before anyone else, but this time, not only did she kneel, she also knelt for such a long time. Her knees were numb and painful, and she regretted not following her sister's instructions and getting up.

But she can't do that now. She has been kneeling for so long, and her sister has not yet agreed to help her husband get his job back.

To be honest, she didn't want her husband to return to Beijing. Being a small official in Beijing was not as good as being a local tyrant in other places.

At least outside, she doesn't have to kneel down and instead people have to fawn on her.

When her husband was dismissed from his official position by Prince Chen, what she thought of was not going to the southern border to find her father, the King of Yue, but coming to the capital to find her sister.

Although her father is a king of a different surname and has a large army under his command, the distance is too far and she does not want to make the long journey. Besides, even if she finds her father, so what? Her father will not help her.

After much thought, she decided that it would be more reliable to come to the capital. After all, if the eldest prince wanted to ascend to the throne, he could not do without her help.

She knew that even if she didn't come to her sister for help, her sister would find a way to help Song He get another official position, but she really didn't want to stay in the capital and wanted to go to other places, preferably Qingshan Prefecture.

But to achieve all these, money alone is not enough, and her sister needs to persuade the emperor.

Therefore, she could not hide anything from her sister, so she told her that Prince Chen had removed Song He's official hat on the grounds that he was not successful in dealing with the locust plague.

"Sister, do you think your sister is easy to fool? That's why you don't want to tell me the truth."

The fact that Concubine Rou was able to survive in the cannibalistic harem and give birth to the eldest and fourth princes was not only due to her family background, but also her wisdom and means.

She could tell at a glance whether her sister was telling her the truth or not.

The failure in controlling the locust plague was definitely not the reason why Prince Chen took action. There must be other hidden reasons.

At this time, the woman kneeling on the ground heard from her sister's tone that her sister was angry. If she still concealed something, the consequences would be unbearable for her.

"Sister, don't be angry. I'll tell you what she said. Then she told you about how Song He accepted bribes and how his son bullied men and women, which caused a lot of public outcry."

After hearing this, Concubine Rou was furious. If she didn't have that ability, she could just tell her subordinates to do it. But how could she accept bribes and bully men and women?

The Prince of Chen holds the power to supervise all officials. No matter where he is, as long as he finds that an official has done something similar, he can deal with it directly without reporting it to the emperor.

The Emperor gave Prince Chen such great power. It was not that no one opposed it, but the opposition was ineffective, and Prince Chen took the opportunity to deal with many people.

Song He and Song Guangqing ran into the hands of Prince Chen for this reason, and they deserved to be punished.

But she couldn't just ignore it. She didn't know what was wrong with the emperor to issue such an imperial decree.

Although she didn't believe that the Prince of Chen could properly resettle the victims in the two prefectures, there are always unexpected events in the world.

What if, what if Prince Chen really did it, wouldn’t he be able to directly sit on the throne of the Crown Prince?

Although the Prince of Chen was poisoned, which affected that area and made it difficult for women to conceive, it would affect his offspring.

Even if Prince Chen becomes the crown prince, he will face considerable resistance if he has no offspring.

But so what? When Prince Chen really ascends the throne and becomes the ruler of a country, it won't be difficult to pick a boy from the royal family to train.

But she believed that once Prince Chen became emperor, she and her two sons would never have a good ending.

Therefore, no matter what, she had to find good help for her son.

Her sister is doing very well, but Song He is incompetent. Even the position of prefect was obtained by her by begging the emperor shamelessly.

But Song He and his son were courting death and ran into the hands of Prince Chen, so they deserved to be taken down.

Although she thought so in her heart, she would not say it in front of her sister. Instead, she would comfort her.

"Sister, don't be anxious. This won't happen overnight. I still need to find an opportunity."

"Sister, I know I'm making things difficult for you."

Just as Concubine Rou was talking to her sister, a palace maid came to report that the eldest prince had arrived.

Concubine Rou immediately stopped talking with her sister.

"Sister, I remember what you said. So you go back first and wait for my letter."

Mrs. Song saw that her goal had not been achieved and wanted to beg, but she also knew that she couldn't go too far, even if Concubine Rou was her biological sister. She had no choice but to continue with the conversation.

"Okay, sister, I haven't seen the eldest prince for many years. How about letting me stay and see my nephew?"
