The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong
Chapter 18 First Meeting with the 4th Prince
After a moment, Liu Bin came to a conclusion.
"Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that the young lady is pregnant." Liu Bin was extremely terrified, fearing that someone would find out.
After all, he was working for Concubine Hua, and deceiving the emperor was punishable by death. If he was a nameless and powerless imperial physician, no one would plead for him if something happened to him.
"That's wonderful! Concubine Shen is so lucky to be able to bear a child for the Emperor and expand the royal family."
The queen looked very happy as she spoke.
"It is indeed good news, Concubine Shen. You must take good care of yourself and take care of your health in the future." The emperor was in a good mood at this time.
"I would like to ask the emperor for permission to let Doctor Liu help me with my pregnancy." Mei Zhuang said softly.
"These are all trivial matters. Of course you can do it if you are willing."
After a lively moment, everyone went back.
In the evening, the emperor went to the queen's place for dinner.
After dinner, the Emperor spoke first: "Empress, I intend to promote Concubine Shen to Concubine Hui, since she is pregnant. What do you think?"
"It's naturally good for Concubine Shen to be promoted since she's pregnant. But if she gives birth to a prince, it would be even more joyous if she were promoted again."
"What does the Emperor think?"
"You're right. Let's do this first. The Queen will make the decision."
When paying respects to the Queen this morning, the Queen mentioned that Princess Wen Yi was one year old. The Emperor originally wanted to promote Concubine Cao.
However, due to the war on the front, the title could not be conferred until it was over. Although Cao Qinmo was unhappy in her heart, she did not dare to show it on her face, and could only say those empty words that she did not seek any title.
She was just a small noble who depended on Concubine Hua. If she hadn't relied on Concubine Hua to gain favor, there would be no Princess Wen Yi.
In my previous life, I was of little influence and had no favor, so I was not brought with me when I came to the Old Summer Palace.
Later, it was Sister Mei who was diagnosed with pregnancy and mentioned me to the emperor, and I was fortunate enough to be taken in.
I still remember clearly that the weather was extremely hot that day. When I got off the carriage, I saw Sister Wan and Liuzhu waiting there.
I was so happy at that time. My sister really still thought of me. It was such a hot day, but she didn't send Jinxi to pick me up, but came by herself.
After some pleasantries, my sister took me to see the Emperor. He was preoccupied with state affairs and didn't see us, so I just wanted to get away.
The Fourth Prince, who was being raised in the Old Summer Palace at the time, wanted to pay his respects to the Emperor but was not summoned.
The weather was hot, and out of compassion, the elder sister asked Su Peisheng to send lily and lotus seed porridge to the Fourth Prince to relieve the heat. This prince was very smart.
He immediately came to thank his sister and spoke to us.
I don’t know where the Fourth Prince is now, and many things have changed because of my plan.
The Fourth Prince is the future Crown Prince, and my sister will need him in the future. Although I have no desire for power or the position of Queen, for my sister, I have to give it a try.
I asked Baojuan to find out about the Fourth Prince and make sure no one noticed.
My lady, I have already inquired. Since we arrived at the Old Summer Palace, the Fourth Prince has been paying his respects to the Emperor every two days.
But the emperor has never met the Fourth Prince. Sometimes he is too busy with government affairs. Besides, the emperor has never liked the Fourth Prince. Who would dare to report to him again and again?
How could others dare to speak up when even Su Peisheng was embarrassed?
When the Fourth Prince went to pay his respects to the Empress, the Empress always avoided him. The Empress believed that the Emperor disliked the Fourth Prince's mother because of her low status, and that even if she raised him, the Emperor would not be pleased.
Every day when I have free time, I will find my sister and find an excuse to take her out for a walk. Who knows, I might meet the Fourth Prince.
It's not for anything else, just to win each other's favor. It's beneficial for both my sister and the Fourth Prince.
Not long after my sister and I came out that day, we met the Fourth Prince on the road. Following behind him was his personal nanny. It seemed that they were going to pay their respects to the Emperor.
The Fourth Prince was walking in front. He was still young and looked thin, but if you looked closely, you could see that there was a bit of heroism between his brows and he had an extraordinary temperament.
In a moment, he came forward.
"Empress Wan is well, Empress An is well!"
The Fourth Prince bowed and greeted us, appearing confident, generous, polite, and mature and steady.
Although he was not a child who grew up in the palace, he was brought up very well. It can be seen that the Fourth Prince was working hard to improve himself, and the nanny who raised him also put a lot of effort into it.
"I have never met you, how does you know my identity?" Hearing what the Fourth Prince said, the elder sister also became curious.
Not to mention my sister, I am also a little curious that the Fourth Prince also knows my identity.
"When I came to pay my respects to the Emperor on ordinary days, I heard privately from the guards around him that the Emperor loved the two Empresses the most. Seeing the two Empresses today, I felt particularly cordial."
"Is Fourth Prince going to pay his respects to the Emperor?" I asked first.
"I just wanted to pay my respects to the Emperor Father, recite to him the new poems I learned, and take a good look at him. But the Emperor Father doesn't seem to like me. He never has time to see me." The Fourth Prince sounded quite sad.
"Don't be discouraged, brother. The emperor is just too busy. When he is free, he will naturally see you." The sister comforted the fourth prince.
"Is it true? Empress Wan, please don't lie to me." The Fourth Prince's eyes were full of loneliness.
"I know why the Emperor has always disliked me. I often hear the young eunuchs in the Old Summer Palace discussing my identity in private..."
"Fourth Prince, it is important to respect yourself. You are the Emperor's child. No matter when or where you are, you are still a prince, a member of the royal family. You don't need to care about what the rumors say. Just make yourself excellent."
"Don't pay too much attention to those rumors. They are just gossips from some bored people." I couldn't help but speak.
"Thank you, my Lords. I understand. I will study harder and practice diligently in the future."
"Your son is taking his leave!" The Fourth Prince bowed and was about to leave.
"Mammy, it's very hot today. When you go back, remember to prepare a bowl of lily and lotus seed porridge for the Fourth Prince to cool him down."
"If Fourth Prince needs anything, just come to me and get it." The elder sister instructed the nanny beside her.
The nanny had not expected this either, and she quickly bowed to express her gratitude, her eyes filled with emotion.
"I'm here on behalf of the Fourth Prince. Thank you both young ladies for your concern." She knelt down as she said this.
The Fourth Prince was raised in the Old Summer Palace by servants. He was a very sensible child, diligent and studious, and worked tirelessly, year after year.
"This servant will definitely remember the kindness of the two young masters."
"Mammy, please get up quickly. Just take good care of the Fourth Prince. Don't be polite." I reached out and helped the mammy up.
"Sister, it's getting late. We should go back."
"Okay, let's go quickly. If we go back late, Liuzhu will nag me again. I'm afraid she will annoy me." My sister smiled dotingly.
