Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 48

"I just wanted to come and see the Queen." Concubine De said with a laugh.

"But I am not satisfied with the two concubines I found for the eldest prince." The queen asked with a smile.

The two concubines she arranged for the eldest prince were all enchanting beauties, but they were also skinny horses from Yangzhou that were presented as tribute by envoys.

I heard that the concubines on both sides were pestering the eldest prince in the palace and he had not left his room for several days.

"I would also like to thank the Queen for thinking about Kuan'er," Concubine De said gritting her teeth.

She was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that the Queen sent two concubines to the eldest prince's mansion.

But the queen is the eldest prince's biological mother after all, so she couldn't question it. Besides, this matter was the emperor's idea.

"As long as the eldest prince likes it." The queen took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

The Queen naturally noticed the dissatisfaction in Concubine De's eyes.

But this was not her intention, it was the emperor's intention.

If Concubine De is angry, she should be angry with the Emperor.

"I heard that Concubine Xian came to the Queen today to ask for permission to leave the palace. I am so envious." Concubine De wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with tears that did not exist.

"The Defei is quite well-informed." Then, she asked why the Defei came to her.

It turned out to be because of Concubine Xian's departure from the palace.

"Sister Queen. It has been a long time since I left the palace to visit the eldest prince's mansion. I wonder if you can ask for a favor." Concubine De asked the Queen with an expectant look on her face.

"Defei, Concubine Xian has already left the palace today. It would be inappropriate for you to leave the palace as well. Besides, it's getting late..." the Queen refused.

Defei's face turned pale instantly. She didn't expect the Queen to refuse her request. Why could Concubine Xian leave the palace but she couldn't?

"Does Queen know? My sister, Concubine Xian, went to the Second Prince's residence with the Emperor today. I wonder if there is any happy event in the Second Prince's residence? Tell us so that we can go and congratulate him." Concubine De said to the Queen curiously.

The Queen didn't expect that the Emperor also went to the Second Prince's Mansion today. She thought that the Second Prince's Mansion would be quite lively today.

But she didn't want to join in the fun, since the Crown Prince was also there. If anything really happened, he would definitely tell her when he returned.

"I think the second prince's wedding day is approaching, and it is only right for the emperor and Concubine Xian to go and help with the arrangements." The queen said with a smile.

She was not jealous that the Emperor and Concubine Xian both went to the Second Prince's Mansion, but she did not think that the Emperor and Concubine Xian went together. If they really left the palace together, why would Concubine Xian have to come to her to ask for permission?

Besides, the emperor has many concubines. Even if she wanted to be jealous, she couldn't be jealous enough. Anyway, if it wasn't Concubine Xian today, there would also be Concubine De, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Hui, but so what?

As long as she was not dead, those people could only be concubines. Besides, her son was the crown prince.

Those people could not surpass him and his son.

As long as he and the prince don't make any big mistakes.

Then her son will be the emperor in the future.

She is the queen mother, what else can she not be satisfied with?

Of course, if the concubines were obedient, she wouldn't mind giving them some face.

In the future, she will be the only one who can be buried next to the emperor.

What's the point of worrying so much? You'll only get yourself upset.

She might as well enjoy her present life and try to live a few more years.

Concubine De twisted her handkerchief in disbelief. She had never expected that the Queen really didn't care at all. She didn't know if the Queen really didn't care or was just pretending?

"Her Majesty the Queen, Her Majesty Huifei, request an audience." The eunuch came in again and said.

"Please come in, Concubine Hui." The Queen didn't know what day it was today, and even Concubine Hui came.

The Queen felt that her Kunning Palace was quite lively today.

"Your servant pays homage to Her Majesty the Empress. Greetings to Sister Defei." The imperial concubine didn't expect that Defei was also in Kunning Palace.

"I wonder what business it is that Concubine Hui has come to my Kunning Palace?" asked the Queen.

"Only the Empress knows that I would not come here without a reason." Concubine Hui did not hide anything. She came here for something. She came to find the Fifth Prince.

"I wonder what the Imperial Concubine wants to talk to me about?" The Queen thought that Concubine Hui rarely visited her on weekdays, but she came here today. Could she be looking for the Fifth Prince?

"Empress, I would like to ask, do you know where Heng'er went today? I heard that Heng'er went out of the palace with the prince. He promised to have dinner with me today!" Concubine Hui received it quickly.

"He hasn't come back yet at this time. I guess he won't come back to the palace for dinner today. I heard that the fifth prince and the crown prince went to the second prince's mansion together." The queen said with a smile.

"He went to the Second Prince's Mansion." Concubine Hui was stunned for a moment when she heard that her son went to the Second Prince's Mansion. After all, the Fifth Prince and the Second Prince had no interaction on weekdays.

"Don't worry, sister Huifei. The Emperor and sister Xianfei also went to the Second Prince's Mansion today, and the Crown Prince also went there. I guess something happened in the Second Prince's Mansion?" said the Queen.

"In that case, I will take my leave." After Concubine Hui found out where her son had gone, she no longer wanted to stay here. Anyway, her son probably wouldn't be back for a while.

"I don't know what good news is going on in the Second Prince's Mansion. He only secretly called the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince to go." Defei felt that it must be a good thing if the Emperor could go, even if it would just be to show her face in front of the Emperor more often.

At this moment, the jealousy in my heart became more and more intense.

"What Defei said is not right. Maybe it's just a coincidence that everyone went to the Second Prince's house today." Huifei replied without thinking.

Concubine Hui knew her son's character well and would never go to someone else's house for no reason.

Besides, the second prince is usually busy with military affairs and may not have time to entertain them.

"Of course you say that." Defei thought to herself, your son has gone, and it's just a coincidence now. Why didn't I see them taking the eldest prince with them?

"Okay, I don't know anything about this. Now that the emperor is back, why don't you ask him?" The queen wanted to put all the blame on the emperor.

Anyway, this person is the emperor's concubine, not his own. He is too lazy to deal with her.

In the Second Prince's Mansion.

The emperor returned to the Second Royal Family's residence, his face still showing an expression of being unsatisfied.

However, Empress Xian's legs were still shaking a little at this time.

Qiao An looked at Concubine Xian who was stumbling as she walked, and felt a little guilty.

It seems like I may have played a bit too much of a joke on my future mother-in-law.

"Empress Xian, let me support you." Qiao Anan stepped forward to support Empress Xian and said with a smile.

"Hmph, you're pretending to be kind." Empress Xian didn't forget who was the one who harmed her like this?

"Empress Xian, please forgive me. It's all my fault." Qiao Anan didn't feel wronged. She had indeed gone a little too far.

Empress Xian turned her head and didn't want to talk to Qiao Anan. No matter what she said, it was wrong.

Even if An An was wrong, this thing did benefit the Chu Yuan Kingdom, and she still understood this principle.
