Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge
Chapter 537 The Little Prince's Palace Maid 4
Feng Ke glanced at Qi Ning out of the corner of his eye before replying, "Mother, besides paying my respects to you, I do have another matter to discuss with you today."
“A few days ago, Mother took pity on me and offered to personally raise me. However, I was so grief-stricken because of Mother’s situation that I had no mind to think about anything else and thus failed to live up to Mother’s good intentions.”
"Today, Ning'er, the palace maid by the Empress's side, went to persuade me. Only then did I realize my mistake. Therefore, I came here immediately to apologize to the Empress. I don't know if the Empress is still willing to accept me."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuewu was finally convinced that Feng Ke had truly been persuaded by Qi Ning.
Overjoyed, she smiled and said, "Ke'er, it's good that you've come to your senses. I naturally won't object to you coming to my side."
Feng Ke forced a smile: "Thank you, Mother."
Qi Ning, who was standing to the side, was quite satisfied with the situation. Although Feng Ke was young and stubborn, he could control his emotions and consider the overall situation once he was persuaded.
Liang Yuewu got her wish and was about to instruct Xiangyun to invite the emperor over, but she stopped herself just as she was about to speak.
She looked at Qi Ning: "Ke'er, I'm a little curious. What did my maid tell you that made you understand so quickly?"
Liang Yuewu was still a little worried, worried that Qi Ning might have said something he shouldn't have in front of Feng Ke.
Since there were no outsiders in the hall at the moment, Feng Ke responded directly according to the words he and Qi Ning had discussed beforehand.
"Ning'er told me that Mother Consort made a mistake and almost harmed Consort Chen and her son. Consort Chen is very likely to take revenge on me. Father Emperor favors Consort Chen. In the whole palace, only Mother Empress can protect me."
"Now I understand. I was ungrateful before, so I came to see the Empress Dowager immediately to ask for her protection."
Liang Yuewu and Xiangyun exchanged a glance, and both of them felt relieved.
Hearing Feng Ke's words, he realized that he was unaware of their plot to frame his mother and still regarded Consort Chen as an enemy.
It seems Ning'er is indeed eloquent; no wonder the Second Prince was persuaded by her.
Liang Yuewu was completely free of her worries. She took Feng Ke's hand and said, "Silly child, it's good that you think this way. Your mother has no children, so you will be your mother's child from now on. Your mother will definitely treat you as her own son."
Feng Ke suppressed his hatred and silently recited the three words Qi Ning had told him, barely managing not to pull his hand away.
Liang Yuewu didn't notice Feng Ke's somewhat reluctant expression. She hurriedly instructed Xiangyun, "Quickly, go and invite His Majesty over."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xiangyun immediately ran out.
Not long after, the emperor was invited over by Xiangyun.
On the way here, he had already heard from Xiangyun about the purpose of Liang Yuewu's invitation to come.
When the emperor arrived at Jingyang Palace and saw Feng Ke, he was somewhat surprised.
After all, just a few days ago Feng Ke said that he didn't want to be with any of his concubines and would rather live in Xiyuan Palace by himself.
The reason why the emperor indulged Feng Ke and did not force him was partly because he did not want the empress to raise the prince, and partly out of guilt towards Feng Ke.
Or perhaps it was out of guilt towards Feng Ke and Consort Shu and their son.
That day, when the emperor learned that Consort Chen had been poisoned by Consort Shu and that there was a high possibility that she and her unborn child would die, he was blinded by rage. Without even questioning her or listening to her explanation, he ordered her to be forced to drink poison.
When Feng Ke arrived after receiving the news, he only saw Consort Shu's corpse.
Later, Consort Chen successfully gave birth to the fourth prince, and both mother and child were safe. After calming down and thinking it over, the emperor realized that he had acted impulsively.
Consort Shu had served her for many years and was not a malicious person; she was most likely framed.
But by the time he realized this, Consort Shu had already been executed by him, and it was impossible to verify whether she had been wronged or not.
Therefore, the emperor naturally felt guilty towards Consort Shu and her son.
The emperor looked at Feng Ke: "Ke'er, have you thought it through?"
"Your Majesty, I have made up my mind."
Feng Ke did not hesitate at all.
“Your Majesty, did you hear that? Ke’er is willing,” Liang Yuewu also said.
"Hmm," the emperor murmured.
He had previously said that this matter depended on Feng Ke's own wishes, but now that Feng Ke had voluntarily agreed to be raised by the Empress, the Emperor had no reason to stop him.
Thinking of the deceased Consort Shu again, the emperor rubbed the jade wrench on his finger.
"In that case, Ke'er will be raised by the Empress from now on. Empress, you will have to put in a lot of effort."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!"
When Liang Yuewu saw that the emperor had agreed, she knew that the matter was a done deal, and a smug smile appeared on her face.
Just as Liang Yuewu was discussing with the emperor about changing Feng Ke's imperial genealogy, Qi Ning and Feng Ke exchanged a glance.
Taking the opportunity, Feng Ke spoke up: "Father, Mother, I have a request."
"what?"
The emperor and Liang Yuewu looked at him.
"Your Majesty, I think this palace maid named Ning'er in your palace is very good. I wonder if Your Majesty could arrange for her to serve me?"
"Ke'er, have you taken a fancy to this palace maid?"
Liang Yuewu was quite surprised.
"Yes, Mother, I wish for her to serve me."
"This……"
Liang Yuewu did not agree immediately; she hadn't expected Feng Ke to suddenly ask her for Ning'er.
That Ning'er knew things she shouldn't have known; she shouldn't be alive anymore.
Although she persuaded Feng Ke on her behalf, Liang Yuewu still planned to find an opportunity to deal with her as soon as possible.
Liang Yuewu glanced at Qi Ning, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
On the surface, she didn't show anything unusual and even wore a fake smile.
"Ke'er, if you need a maid to serve you, your mother will arrange a few suitable ones for you later. This Ning'er is not very reliable, and I don't trust her to serve you."
“Mother, it’s not that I lack palace maids to serve me, it’s just that I find Ning’er pleasing to the eye. Is Mother unwilling to part with her?” Feng Ke insisted.
"She's just a palace maid. If Ke'er likes her, then give her to him," the emperor suddenly said.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Since the emperor had said so, and this was the first time Feng Ke had taken the initiative to ask her since becoming her son, Liang Yuewu naturally couldn't refuse again.
She said indifferently, "Ning'er, you will serve the Second Prince from now on."
"Yes, ma'am."
Qi Ning achieved her goal: she could get rid of Liang Yuewu, preventing her from harming her, and also be by Feng Ke's side, spending time with him day and night. She lowered her eyes to hide the smile in them.
The emperor didn't take this little incident to heart and continued talking to Liang Yuewu about Feng Ke.
Feng Ke is neither too old nor too young. He is not Liang Yuewu's biological son, so it seems inappropriate to let him live in the same palace as Liang Yuewu.
Feng Ke naturally didn't want to live with Liang Yuewu either.
“Father, Mother, why don’t I stay at Xiyuan Palace? It’s not far from Mother’s Jingyang Palace, so it will be convenient for me to come and pay my respects every day.”
"Yes, that's right." The Emperor nodded slightly. "Then Ke'er can continue to live in Xiyuan Palace and there's no need to move."
Liang Yuewu had no problem with where Feng Ke lived, as long as the imperial genealogy was changed and he became her rightful son.
However, this means that Qi Ning will have to leave Jingyang Palace and follow Feng Ke to Xiyuan Palace.
