The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!
Chapter 153 Full Moon Banquet
I don’t know what Lu Junze was thinking. The previous dynasty handled the matter swiftly and decisively, but there was no movement in the harem, and those rumors were still spreading quietly.
Previously, because of the fire in Ningyu Pavilion, the emperor and empress had severely punished Concubine Song, and said that the second prince would be sent to Xiefang Palace when he grew up. However, Lu Junze did not say how old he was. The second prince was weak, so there was more room for maneuver.
This was also what Concubine Song thought about clearly after she calmed down during her house arrest.
So Concubine Song has been very well-behaved recently because she doesn't want the emperor to remember this matter.
Song Jieyu hadn't figured out why the imperial concubine framed her. Judging from the situation in Fengyi Palace that day, the imperial concubine was really pregnant and it was not a fake pregnancy to win favor. Then why did the imperial concubine use her own child to frame her?
"My Lord, it's time to eat."
Although Concubine Song seems to be neglected by the emperor now, she still has the Second Prince here. The emperor will occasionally come over to sit and see the Second Prince, so the people below dare not neglect Concubine Song. Her life is not much different from before, and the emperor did not visit her much before.
Concubine Song was very lucky to be pregnant with the second prince. She got pregnant the first time the emperor favored her, and it was a boy.
"Where is the second prince?" asked Concubine Song.
"My lady, the second prince is still reading in the study."
Concubine Song had extremely high expectations for the Second Prince. It could be said that she placed all her hopes on him. Therefore, even before the Second Prince went to the Shangshufang, Concubine Song had already started to let him study some books.
Concubine Song stood up and said, "Let's go to the study to see the Second Prince first."
"Yes."
As soon as he walked outside the study, he heard a recitation coming from the room. The second prince didn't know many words, and his reading was not very fluent, but the child still read word by word and did not give up.
Song Jieyu's eyes suddenly became red. If possible, she also hoped that her child would grow up without worries and become a wealthy person.
But being born in a royal family, there are too many things that are beyond one’s control.
"An'er." Concubine Song calmed herself down and walked in with a smile on her face.
When the Second Prince saw Concubine Song coming, he put down his book, stood up, ran over, and said, "Mother."
The second prince is still young, and no matter how sensible he is, he still depends on his mother.
Concubine Song hugged the Second Prince and helped him straighten his clothes. "An'er, you've worked hard."
The second prince shook his head. He actually liked reading very much and did not think that studying every day was a difficult thing.
"An'er, you should also pay attention to the time when you study." Concubine Song touched the second prince's head, took his hand, and said as they walked: "It's time for lunch. You can't forget to eat and sleep when reading."
I have to say that Concubine Song did a pretty good job as a mother.
After the two of them had lunch, Concubine Song accompanied the Second Prince to take a nap.
Concubine Song was not unaware of the rumors about the imperial concubine, but the matter of the crown prince was not something that could be settled by just a few rumors in the harem. More importantly, she didn't dare to intervene now. The emperor had not yet made a decision on the imperial concubine's miscarriage, and she was really afraid that the emperor would give the second prince to someone else to raise.
The Second Prince is her life, and she will never allow anyone else to take the Second Prince away from her.
When the news of Concubine Song's reaction reached the Imperial Concubine, she became very angry. She did not expect Concubine Song to be so cowardly and incompetent. She did not dare to make a fuss after receiving only a little punishment.
The imperial concubine was really wrong. Concubine Song was not a coward, it’s just that the emperor hit her hardest.
"What about Concubine Rong? No response either?" The Imperial Concubine still didn't believe it, and everyone in the harem became innocent.
"My lady, the people in Yufu Palace are very tight-lipped and haven't found out anything. Besides, Concubine Rong hasn't been going out much recently." Su Yi said.
The atmosphere in the palace has been really strange lately, with a feeling that everyone is in danger.
……
Gu Shijin didn't take this matter to heart. It wasn't that she didn't care about her two children, but she believed that Lu Junze had his own plans.
Tomorrow is the full moon banquet for the two cubs. Although Gu Shijin told Lu Junze that there is no need to make a big fuss and just have a casual meal, in the palace, no matter how small the banquet is, it cannot be without preparation, not to mention that the other concubines will definitely send gifts tomorrow.
"Xingzhu, how are the preparations for tomorrow's banquet going?" Gu Shijin asked.
Although most of the work is done by his subordinates and Gu Shijin only needs to make arrangements with his mouth, he still needs to pay attention to the things that should be cared about.
"My lady, everything is ready. The menu has been sent to the imperial kitchen." Xingzhu said.
Gu Shijin did not allow the imperial kitchen to have free rein in the preparation of dishes for this banquet, but wrote the menu herself.
"Okay, pay more attention tomorrow." Gu Shijin instructed.
When there are too many people, things tend to get chaotic, and Gu Shijin can't keep an eye on it, so he can only ask the subordinates to take care of it.
"The servant understands."
"My lady, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has delivered clothes for the two little princes." Xingyue came in and said.
Tomorrow will be the full moon of the two princes, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has prepared a lot of clothes for them. Gu Shijin took a look at each piece and found them all very good, with high-quality fabrics, exquisite workmanship, and beautiful embroidery, which showed great care.
"Leave it to me." Although Gu Shijin didn't plan to let the two little princes wear these tomorrow, they could still wear them at other times.
During the time she was pregnant, Gu Shijin made a lot of small clothes for the child. Since she didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl, she made clothes for both boys and girls, and more than one, just in time for the child to wear at the full moon banquet tomorrow.
"You can wear the clothes inside that my mother and my second sister brought into the palace." Gu Shijin said.
Anyway, no one else can see the clothes inside, so you can wear whatever you want.
"My lady, I'm ready." Xingzhu held two small shirts. The weather was gradually getting warmer, but newborn babies still needed to be dressed warmly, otherwise they would easily catch a cold.
"I trust you to do the job." With Xingzhu around, Gu Shijin has to worry less.
As she spoke, Gu Shijin packed up the small clothes she had made some time ago. She didn't notice it when she was making them, but looking at it now, she realized that she had made quite a lot of them.
Not counting girls', there are more than a dozen small clothes for boys alone.
"Put these away." Gu Shijin folded the girl's clothes and handed them to Xingyue.
Xingyue: "Okay, I'll give it to the little princess when she gives birth next time."
"You..." Gu Shijin shook his head.
"hey-hey."
Ever since the family issues were resolved, Xingyue has returned to her former liveliness, and Chenhua Palace seems to have become a lot more lively.
"Look, which one would you like to give the two brothers to wear tomorrow?" Gu Shijin just thought that every piece looked good and he couldn't pick one out.
"What are you talking about so happily?" At this time, Lu Junze walked in.
"emperor."
Lu Junze held Gu Shijin down and asked her to stay on the bed.
"Your Majesty, I am looking at what to wear for our children tomorrow." Gu Shijin picked up two small yellow clothes and said, "Your Majesty, do these two look good? They are like brother clothes when they are worn."
Lu Junze looked at it seriously and said, "I think it's very suitable."
