Chapter 386 It turns out to be the 4th Prince
A ceremony to confer a title on a noble concubine resulted in the involvement of a eunuch and a maid. This matter did not cause any waves in the harem.
This little thing didn't even reach the emperor's ears.
The Queen originally wanted to use Xiao Bazi's life to send the Emperor a plate of mung bean cakes to relieve the heat, and to explain to the Emperor that Concubine Hua had been treating her servants harshly since she became a noble concubine.
But it happened that when the emperor picked up the mung bean cake and was about to put it in his mouth, and the queen was looking at the mung bean cake made by her husband with a smile, Xiao Xiazi came from outside the door to report that General Nian Gengyao wanted to see him.
The Queen naturally couldn't stay for too long. Before she could even warm up the stool in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she had to stand up and take her leave.
This kind of gossip also requires the right time, and just when he was planning to do so with a plate of mung bean cakes, Nian Gengyao interrupted him.
The Queen held her breath as she came out of the Yangxin Palace and returned to the Jingren Palace. On the way, Jianqiu was still trying to make the Queen happy.
"If Your Majesty wishes to report the affairs of the harem to His Majesty, why don't you invite His Majesty to Jingren Palace for dinner tonight?"
"Many things are most natural when done in one go. Repeating them three or four times would seem deliberate. Let's forget about this one. Concubine Hua is so arrogant and domineering anyway, so there will always be omissions in the future."
"Yes, but it's a pity that the auspicious attire this time..."
Before Jianqiu could finish her words, the Queen turned slightly to the side and gave her a look, and Jianqiu shut up in disappointment.
Now they were in the Imperial Garden, and some words were indeed afraid of being heard through the walls. This time it was Jianqiu who failed to be careful with her words and actions.
The matter of the auspicious attire was given to Concubine Li, and there was Ling Xiang in the palace who could be used as a target. However, the Queen took the trouble to hint at it, but Concubine Li, with her pig brain, still ended up doing it like this.
Fortunately, I took an extra step and let Ling Xiang take the blame.
Even if Concubine Hua finds out something now, it still can't be traced back to her.
But how could Concubine Li be so stupid as to directly arrange a greasy-haired and powdered eunuch to instigate Concubine Hua? She thought that everyone was like her and would fall into the trap once instigated.
The queen was already very angry after the enfeoffment ceremony, and her anger had finally subsided a lot. But after Jianqiu's reminder, the anger that had subsided surged from her chest again.
What a stupid teammate! What a stupid teammate!
The Queen's mind suddenly popped up the words that Concubine Qi had said to Concubine Li before. They were really accurate.
It was just that the master and servant stopped for a moment in the imperial garden, and their eyes met for a split second, so the queen was not afraid that others would hear it.
But just by chance, as soon as Jianqiu closed her mouth, they heard the sound of reading coming from the other side of the rockery.
The queen was a little panicked, as there really was someone else around.
But the queen did not show it on her face. She gave Jiang Fuhai a look and asked him to go up and take a look at the situation.
The sound of reading was loud and continuous, and it didn't even stop because of their passing by. The queen felt relieved.
Jiang Fuhai walked to the back of the rockery and looked over. He shouted, "Fourth Prince, why are you reading by the lake alone? It's so dangerous! Where are your maids?"
It turned out to be the Fourth Prince.
This child is quiet and his presence is almost zero in daily life. The queen almost forgot that the Fourth Prince had moved from the Old Summer Palace to the Forbidden City.
Jiang Fuhai was a thoughtful and smart man. Seeing that the Fourth Prince was alone by the lake, he asked him to get down from the rock by the lake without saying a word.
"Don't worry, Eunuch Jiang. I can handle it on my own. My nanny has gone to get the mung bean soup, so I'll just recite the book here by myself."
"Your son pays his respects to the Empress Dowager." The Fourth Prince was so excited when he saw the Empress that he closed his book and ran over. He knelt on the cobblestone path and bowed to the Empress.
