Spoiled Wife - C96 Another transcender?
After that, he turned around and saw the Fourth Prince wandering around his older brothers looking for food. This older brother of hers passed him a mouthful of mooncake, one of them handed him a grape, the First Prince even personally helped him unload the crab. The Fourth Prince had a satisfied expression on his face as he ate, as if he was carved out of the same mold as matriarch.
Just from this point, he had already done a better job than his father. Right now, the only ones who had survived through his father’s son were Liu Ze and the King Rui who were causing trouble outside, and the rest of them had all gone through various accidents and disappeared without a trace.
If not for the fact that he was old enough to be on guard and Jing Ze’s guard, Jing Ze and him might not have been able to survive until now. Consort De’s methods were always ruthless, they believed that everything would have been nipped in the bud.
With how the Emperor had expressed his agreement, these consorts naturally did not want to fall behind. They all planned to show their skills in front of the Emperor, and Shen Fei was no exception.
She had always prided herself on being a talented girl, so how could she miss such a chance to show off?
This time, it would be decided by the Emperor himself. It must be known that in the past, the Emperor was also a talented crown prince, skilled in all aspects of the arts. Otherwise, even if he was the legitimate one, he wouldn’t have so many people standing on his side.
At that time, how many girls admired the elegance of the young crown prince, and how many young talents followed him as a role model. The crown prince had allowed himself to achieve perfection, so when the Consort De was able to cover the sky with his hands, there were so many people that were dead set on him, until he was pushed to that position.
At the same time, they recalled the Emperor’s elegant demeanor from back then. Many people had entered the imperial palace because of this, and the women in the imperial harem weren’t only there for the sake of authority. There were also those who sincerely admired the Emperor’s character.
One could not help but sigh. Things change when times change, things change when people change! The thing that cannot be tolerated in the palace is your true love, once you fall into it, you will be doomed to eternal damnation, how many people will perish because of this?!
Because the Emperor’s words reminded everyone of many things from the past, it was hard to avoid sadness in their hearts, so this time’s poems mostly came out with sorrowful works. The Emperor frowned as he looked at them.
Shen Qi ate some fruits as she watched the show. She felt that the palace was bustling with noise and excitement due to the large number of people, even the concubines in the palace could host a banquet for him.
Prince Xian couldn’t help but find it funny when he saw her look at them with relish. “Why didn’t you write one for your consort?”
Shen Qi never thought that she would suddenly ask herself this. After being slightly stunned, he laughed and shook her head, “I do not have that kind of talent, it’s better not to embarrass myself.” It was more accurate to say that she was not interested in this.
However, Shen Qi had the nagging feeling that it was a result of her stealing the work of others, which made her feel awkward and uneasy at the same time. She felt that she didn’t have the qualifications to use the things that others painstakingly wrote to gain her reputation.
King Xian looked at her in surprise, not expecting her to reply. Shen Fei and Shen Jianing, who were also from the Shang Shu Manor, were already famous throughout the capital when they were ten years old.
It wasn’t that she didn’t have that kind of talent, but that she could tell that the wangfei was very smart from their interactions. It could be said that she was the smartest girl in the Shang clan, but now she was openly telling him that she didn’t know how to write poems.
Seeing that the prince was looking at him differently, Shen Qi continued, “But I know how to look.”
The Royal Concubine Yi always spoke in this astonishing and open manner as she squeezed her hand. On the surface, she seemed to be acting serious, but Shen Qi couldn’t help but want to roll his eyes at her.
In such a short time, the results were already decided. What was unexpected was that the champion was not the Tender Consort who came from a scholarly family, nor was it the Shen Fei who prided himself as a talented girl. Instead, it was Qin Xiang, the person who was doted on the most right after entering the palace.
Even the Tender Consort was full of praise for her words. The Emperor also looked at her in astonishment, he never thought that she would actually have this kind of ability.
Qin Xiang’s face was filled with pride. Even though she was secretly suppressing herself to not show it, anyone could still see her pride and confidence in herself.
Shen Fei, who was below, almost tore the kernels to shreds. She glared hatefully at her beautiful face. This time she was the one in the limelight. How could he not hate her in his heart?
Those below were all curious. Just what kind of poem could cause the Emperor and the Tender Consort to praise them endlessly and even want to take a look at it? But since they were facing the Emperor, they didn’t dare to open their mouths and could only look on, hoping that the Emperor would let them have a look.
Tender Consort felt that this kind of good phrase should be known by everyone, so he started to read it out loud, “When does the bright moon appear? “Let us hope that we will live on for a long time, with a distance of a thousand miles between us.”
Everyone present sighed in admiration, but Shen Qi was already shocked when she read the first line of the Tender Consort. She squinted her eyes and looked at Qin Xiang, not thinking that this would be her hometown!
However, she didn’t have any thoughts of tears in her eyes. She was glad that she kept herself low-key, glad that she didn’t take out anything from her previous life, or else just thinking about it would make people shiver.
did not think that they would be able to tolerate such an existence, but as a fellow villager, who knows if Qin Xiang would stab them in the back or not? Even if Qin Xiang didn’t know, who would dare say that there were only two transmigrators?
With the existence of Qin Xiang, Shen Qi felt that she had to be even more careful in the future, because if she accidentally exposed her weak point, it was very likely that others would attack you. She didn’t want to die so early in her second life!
Duke Wei was such a sensitive person, even if Shen Qi could immediately adjust her expression and mentality, she could not avoid her eyes during that moment of change, “What do you think is wrong, Princess?”
Shen Qi tried her best to act like how she usually does, smiling as she shook her head, “No, I just didn’t expect that such an amazing phrase would be written by a teenage girl, I was just sighing a little.”
This was an excuse that Shen Qi had come up with for herself, but it made Duke Xian think deeply. That’s right, the person who could make such a good excuse must be someone who knew his place, but there was no news that the Prime Minister’s Palace had a talented girl like this.
If something abnormal happened, then it meant that the person was a demon, so Duke Xian decided to go back and thoroughly investigate this Qin Xiang.
If there was anything abnormal about her, it would be that her personality had changed a little after she got sick, but no suspicious personnel had gotten close to her during this period of time. Thus, although Duke Xian could only understand this, because he was about to set off for the front lines.
Before leaving, he still informed the emperor of his doubts, telling him to pay attention to the people around him. The emperor only nodded his head to express his understanding, then began to worry for him.
King Xian nodded in response to his worry. “Don’t worry, Imperial Brother. I, your servant, will know what to do.”
The emperor was still very worried. “How about This Emperor give you a few beauties to serve you when you leave?” No matter who it was, at least they left a descendant, so he wasn’t that worried.
“There’s no need. Your servant’s future son can only come from an imperial concubine.”
When the emperor saw his resolute expression, he knew that whatever he said would be useless. He really wanted to ask if the wangfei’s stomach was moving, but he felt that asking his sister-in-law if she was pregnant wasn’t appropriate, so he was a bit conflicted.
On the other hand, Prince Xian understood his imperial brother and directly explained the situation to him. “Princess Consort is still young, this subject isn’t in a hurry.”
The emperor finally couldn’t help himself anymore. “She’s young, but what about you?” You’re not young anymore, right? ”
“Your servant brother can wait.” King Xian directly said this.
The Emperor felt that he was about to choke to death from his words, and said in the end, as if he was about to compromise, “If you are worried that her age is too young and that giving birth too early is bad for her health, you can marry a lateral consort and let him give birth to you.”
“Chendi said that it can only be an imperial concubine.” King Xian was exceptionally determined.
The emperor felt that he originally had some good feelings towards this wangfei. He felt that she could change his mind and make him feel more human. But now, he couldn’t help but think that this wangfei had too much of an impact on his heart.
Is it really good to have someone like that to influence King Duan? Jing Ze had always been on the edge of danger. Was there a fatal flaw that would harm him in the future?
The emperor understood King Duanren, and King Duanren also understood the emperor. Seeing him like this, he knew he was dissatisfied with his imperial concubine. Actually, he didn’t want to do this either, but his imperial brother always thought it was better for him to give up on this idea by giving him a woman.
“No one is allowed except the princess consort.” At this moment, King Xian’s face was cold as he spoke seriously. This was to tell the emperor not to think of doing anything bad to the imperial concubine. If the imperial concubine was no longer around, then no one was allowed!
Was this a threat? When the emperor was angry, he was also more certain that this wangfei’s methods were extraordinary. He thought that as a wangfei who had rushed to marry into the palace, she would only be able to live by her own name for the rest of her life. However, he didn’t expect that she had used a year of time to firmly control Prince Xian’s heart and prevent anyone from harming her.
He did not think Jing Ze was joking with him. He was certain that if he did something to the Queen’s Consort, even if he did not express his hatred for him, he would not be able to live in peace with him like he did now. Furthermore, he might really protect the Princess and not touch any other women in her life.
Others might not be able to do it, but the Emperor knew that Jing Ze could. He was a stubborn child when he was young, and if his mother ignored him, he could do it without getting close to her. If someone wanted his life, he would do his best to strengthen himself and then take the lives of others.
This was how stubborn he was. He gritted his teeth and persevered until he finally fulfilled his oath and pushed him onto the throne. Afterwards, he did it to the point where no one dared to look down on him.
The emperor felt helpless and powerless towards him as he waved his hand. “Alright, alright, royal brother won’t do anything. Hurry up and go see Imperial Mother.” The empress dowager knew that King Duan was about to enter the battlefield. She had already cried several times to the emperor.
“Why is Jingze personally supervising the battle at this time? Is there no one else in the court? ” The empress dowager was very dissatisfied with the emperor’s actions, and felt that there was no need to force King Duanren onto the battlefield.
The emperor didn’t make sense to her. She didn’t even dare go to the Tzu Ning Palace now, so she could only hand this hot potato over to King Duan to deal with.
Although King Xian knew the reason, he had to bid farewell to his Imperial Mother before going to the battlefield. Even if he knew that his Imperial Brother had used him as a shield, he could only go.
