Quick Wear: The female supporting role makes a comeback by giving birth to a child

Ci'an Palace.

Not long after Concubine Wu left, Xin Guoguo asked Cuizhu to call the Fourth Prince over.

Judging from the temperament of Concubine De in the original owner's memory, if she knew that the original owner had agreed to let Concubine Wu look at Xiao Si, she would probably make things difficult for Xiao Si again.

But now in the palace, the emperor is busy with government affairs, the empress is devoted to worshipping Buddha, and she is the only one left. If she intervenes, I am afraid that the other princes will make a fuss.

Therefore, Xiaosi’s affairs can only be left to his mother.

Concubine De is stupid and very short-sighted.

In the end, they had no choice but to agree to let Concubine Wu take charge.

But no matter how you consider it, Xiao Si is the most innocent.

Xin Guoguo looked at the young man in front of her and felt a little distressed.

Qi Zhen is 13 years old this year and is already a handsome young man.

But there was no smile on his face, instead he looked very indifferent.

"Greetings to the Royal Grandmother."

As soon as Qi Zhen came in, he bowed to Xin Guoguo and saluted.

Xin Guoguo hurriedly asked him to stand up.

She waved for him to come to her.

Holding his hand, she chatted with him: "How are you doing in the Prince's Residence recently? Are you getting along well with your brothers? Is anyone bullying you?"

Then he asked, "How is the schoolwork? Do you find it difficult?"

Qi Zhen answered all the questions obediently.

After asking these questions, Xin Guoguo talked about Concubine Wu's visit:

"Your mother, Concubine Wu, came here earlier and begged me to allow her to arrange your marriage. Do you have any ideas?"

Qi Zhen is smart.

Even though he is still just a teenager now.

He knew very well that once his marriage was put on the agenda, the best choice to organize it, apart from the three giants in the palace, would be Concubine Wu.

He cupped his hands and replied, "I will leave it to the Imperial Grandmother to decide."

Xin Guoguo pinched his chubby little face:

"This is your own marriage, how can you not have any ideas? Although I agree to your mother Wu's request, her body will still require my help in the end. Of course, I hope that our little fourth will marry someone who suits her heart and give her a warm home."

The Empress Dowager's words stunned Qi Zhen for a moment.

He raised his head and looked at the Empress Dowager.

The Royal Grandmother's eyes were full of kindness and sincerity, just like an ordinary grandmother who sincerely hoped that her grandson could have a good home.

Qi Zhen's heart moved, and he pursed his lips: "My grandson has not seen many women, really..."

"It doesn't matter. You haven't seen it now, but you will see it in the future. But you are still young now, so don't be anxious. We will see each other slowly."

"Yes. Grandson obeys."

Qi Zhen didn't care about it.

He is still young and not the kind of person who is impatient.

It really doesn't matter to him whether he gets married or not.

Xin Guoguo patted his little head and said, "Be good. Come, sit down and talk with the Royal Grandmother."

Then he called Cuizhu, "Go and bring some cakes to Xiao Si. Especially the jujube paste cakes made this morning."

Cuizhu responded with "Yes" and stepped back.

After a while, he came back with a few palace maids.

Each of them held a tray in their hands.

There were exquisite pastries on the tray.

After placing the cakes one by one on the table next to the Fourth Prince, the palace servants retreated again.

Xin Guoguo greeted Qi Zhen: "These cakes are newly developed by the kitchen of my family. Try them and see if they suit your taste."

Qi Zhen didn't act pretentiously: "Yes."

After answering, he picked up a piece of cake with his fingers.

The pastry was small, almost the width of a finger joint.

Even little Qi Zhen can eat them one by one.

He has always loved sweets.

I feel particularly satisfied eating now.

He had never eaten so many pastries that suited his taste and made him feel refreshed!

Xin Guoguo watched him eat happily with a smile.

At this time, Cuizhu stepped forward and whispered to Xin Guoguo:

"Master, the people from Yanxi Palace just went to the prince's residence."

Xin Guoguo's eyes turned cold, but soon returned to normal:

"Tell Concubine Rong that in the future, if anyone in the palace needs something beyond their quota, they will have to pay for it themselves."

The Queen is no longer in charge of the palace affairs, and Concubine Wu is in poor health, so the palace affairs are handed over to Concubine Rong to manage.

Cuizhu thought of what she had just heard and a sneer flashed across her eyes.

He responded respectfully and then walked out.

After thinking about it, she decided to go to Rong Fei in person.

After Cuizhu left, Xin Guoguo asked Qi Zhen, "How is it? Is it to your liking?"

Qi Zhen swallowed the food in his mouth and bowed respectfully: "It's delicious. Thank you, Grandmother, for caring about me."

His two mothers never knew that he liked sweet things.

Xin Guoguo had kind eyes and looked at Qi Zhen like an ordinary grandmother looking at her grandson:

"As long as you like it. Bring a few more plates back and enjoy them slowly."

"Thank you, Grandma Royal."

A rare smile appeared on Qi Zhen's face.

When he had almost finished eating, Cuizhu came back.

Only then did Xin Guoguo ask Cuizhu to pack a food box with pastries for him and send him away.

Yanxi Palace.

Concubine De finally calmed down and asked her maids to add more food.

She sat down by herself and waited for Qi Zhen to come over.

Before Qi Zhen came over, the person who went to get the things came back first.

They knelt on the ground one by one with embarrassed looks on their faces, empty-handed.

Concubine De's face became uglier and uglier: "What's going on? Didn't I tell you to go get the things? Why are you all coming back empty-handed?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rong said that you have exceeded your quota for this year's supplies and asked you to pay the difference. If you want more, you have to pay for it yourself."

The more the maid spoke, the lower her head hung.

She was very scared.

Why did she think this was a good job just now?

In the past, when the sisters were there, there wasn’t so much trouble!

"What does she mean?! Are all the things in this palace hers?!"

Defei was so angry that her face turned red, and she wished she could sweep everything at hand to the ground.

But when she thought about having to pay for it herself, she held back.

The maid's head dropped even lower:

"Your Highness, Concubine Rong said that this is the decree of the Empress Dowager. She will pursue all the palaces that have exceeded their quotas."

"It's her again!" Concubine De stared towards Ci'an Palace, "Why hasn't this bitch died yet?! This old immortal thing has been against me all day long!"

All the servants in the palace were so frightened that they all knelt down and wished they could cover their ears.

Is this something they can listen to?

Seeing these people crawling at her feet, trembling with fear, Concubine De felt a little relieved.

"Princess Virtue, be careful with your words."

Defei's mood had just improved a bit, but it instantly sank again.

Looking at the handsome young man who walked in from outside, her eyes were full of disgust, and she did not hide it:

"I am your mother, how can I be called a virtuous mother?! Is this what Concubine Wu taught you?!"

Qi Zhen bowed to her and stood up: "I wonder why the Empress Dowager asked me to come here?"

Looking at her son's cold face, Concubine De became even more angry.

"Snapped!"

She slammed the table and stood up, glaring at the son she disliked:

"What's with your attitude?! I'm your biological mother, is that how you talk to me?!"
