Chapter 942: The Ungrateful Son 8
"Who knows?" Concubine Xian curled her lips and said, "Alright, let's see what the Queen Mother means by her promise to Chen. Hurry and go to the kitchen to keep an eye on it. The Emperor said he would come over to have dinner with me today, so the meal can't go wrong."
"Yes, I'll go to the small kitchen and keep an eye on it." Dingxiang walked out immediately.
The emperor arrived at Chengguang Hall when it was getting dark, but unexpectedly he went to the back hall where Chen Dan lived.
Because Chen Da Ying's maid rushed to the emperor and knelt down, saying that Chen Da Ying was sick and begged the emperor to go and see Chen Da Ying.
When the emperor heard that Chen Da Ying was ill, he naturally became anxious and no longer cared about the virtuous concubine and the idea of selling her body.
The emperor went to Chen Da Ying's back hall and of course stayed overnight there. Now that he was in Chen Da Ying's room, it was naturally impossible for Chen Da Ying to let the emperor leave.
"Bitch," Xianfei angrily threw a vase. "I originally thought Chen Da Ying was nothing to be afraid of. After all, the Emperor hasn't favored Chen Da Ying once since I entered the palace. But I didn't expect that bitch could still seduce the Emperor."
"Your Majesty, please calm down," Ding Xiang quickly advised. "It's not worth getting yourself hurt over a bitch like Chen Yingda. Besides, if Your Majesty gets hurt from your anger, wouldn't that make Chen Yingda even more proud?"
Ding Xiang then helped Concubine Xian to sit on the couch. "Your Majesty, you must know that Chen Yingying is the most beloved person to the Emperor. Back then, three princes were killed in the palace. Anyone with a discerning eye could see who was responsible, but the Emperor, in order to save Chen Yingying's life, argued with the court officials in court, and that's how Chen Yingying's life was saved."
"From what you said, do you mean to let me do nothing and let Chen agree to that bitch and ride on my head?" Concubine Xian's face was very gloomy. "Chen agreed to that bitch and it was really good. The Queen Mother just gave her a few days of relaxation, and this bitch took over my favor."
"It seems that since I entered the palace, I have given Chen the wrong impression, making her think that I am a kind person," Concubine Xian gritted her teeth and said, "Just wait and see if I don't give this bitch a hard time tomorrow."
The next morning, as soon as the emperor left Chengguang Palace, Concubine Xian sent someone to bring Chen Dan over.
"Let me go, let me go," Chen agreed, kneeling before Concubine Xian, still struggling. Then she looked at Concubine Xian angrily, "My Lady Xian, why do you humiliate me like this? I haven't done anything wrong. Why do you torture me in private?"
"Slap me in the face." Concubine Xian said this in a cold voice, and Dingxiang immediately stepped forward and slapped Chen Daxing a few times.
After being beaten, Chen Da Ying looked at Concubine Xian with even more resentment in his eyes: "Concubine Xian, you humiliate me like this, aren't you afraid that the Emperor will blame you?"
"Ha!" Concubine Xian was so angry that she laughed, "So it was because of the Emperor's favor that you, bitch, dared to intercept my favor last night!"
"Chen promised, you don't still think you are the emperor's favorite! Of course, even if you are still the emperor's favorite, so what? I want to torture you, can you really think that the emperor can punish me for you, a bitch?"
"Here we are! Take that bitch away and bring her to the Empress to pay her respects," the virtuous concubine stood up, "Let the servants of the harem see what will happen to this shameless vixen who seduced the Emperor behind her master's back."
The virtuous concubine lived in Chengguang Palace, so she was naturally the main seat of Chengguang Palace. Chen Da Ying, who lived in Chengguang Palace, was of course under her charge. Before this, she was too lazy to pay attention to Chen Da Ying, which made Chen Da Ying think that he could provoke her by relying on the emperor's favor.
Oh, in that case, there is no need for her to be polite to Chen Cheng. Today, she must make Chen agree to bear her wrath.
"Empress Xianfei, you can't do this," Chen agreed, now truly frightened. "Aren't you afraid of damaging the Emperor's reputation by doing this? If I'm a foxy woman, then what is the Emperor who dotes on me? Is he a tyrant?"
"The Emperor's reputation has long been damaged by you, a vixen," the virtuous concubine sneered. "So, you, a bitch, really don't need to worry about the Emperor's reputation. Instead of worrying about the Emperor's reputation, you might as well die early to atone for your sins and restore the Emperor's reputation that has been damaged because of you."
"It's such a pity! You bitch are so scared of death. Not only are you still alive and well, but you even dared to use your old tricks to seduce the Emperor. I'm going to take you to the Empress's palace to pay your respects. I'm trying to save the Emperor's reputation. I don't want his already damaged reputation to be further damaged by your seduction last night."
As Concubine Xian finished speaking, Chen agreed and was escorted by two eunuchs to follow Concubine Xian to pay his respects to the Queen.
The virtuous concubine naturally rode in a sedan chair, and Chen Da Ying was escorted by two eunuchs and followed behind the virtuous concubine's sedan chair, which attracted the frequent glances of the eunuchs and palace maids along the way.
Chen Da Ying had never felt so humiliated as today. She felt that her dignity was being rubbed to the ground by Concubine Xian. But now, she could only let Concubine Xian manipulate her like a lamb to be slaughtered. She had no power to resist at all.
Of course, Chen promised that while he hated Concubine Xian, he also hated the Emperor.
The days of being tortured by the Empress Dowager in recent years have made Chen resentful of the Emperor.
He said he loved her, but what was the result?
He just let her suffer all kinds of torture without even thinking about protecting her, and this was the emperor's love for her.
It is naturally impossible to say that Chen Ying was unaware of the emperor's difficult situation. After all, the emperor had told her long ago how difficult his situation in the court was, and asked Chen Ying to be considerate of him and endure it for his sake. When he was in power, he would definitely avenge her.
At first, Chen agreed to listen to such words and could understand the emperor's difficulties. However, as she was tortured by the empress dowager day by day, Chen agreed to no longer understand the emperor. The reason why she intercepted the favor of Concubine Xian last night was, on the one hand, to win the emperor's favor and have another child, and on the other hand, to let the emperor give her more money.
In the past two months, without the emperor's subsidy, Chen Da Ying had a very hard time. With the promised allowance, he couldn't even eat good food for three meals a day, let alone bird's nest every day.
After all, the promised portion is there. If you want to eat something good, you have to pay money to the imperial kitchen.
I have to say this, doesn’t Chen agree that there is no money?
Of course there is. The emperor has always doted on her so much, how could he not give her money?
But the problem is that Chen Da Ying doesn't want to use his own money. Given his situation over the past three years and his gradual disappointment with the emperor, Chen Da Ying values his things very much and naturally doesn't want to use his own money to improve his living standards.
