Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 402 I Will Definitely Die After You

Reluctantly, Prince Zhongshun took his son and daughter-in-law to Yeongja Palace.

In the Ganlu Palace, the young eunuch wiped his tears and complained to the emperor: "Prince Zhongshun is rude and forced me to reveal the emperor's health condition!"

The emperor leaned back on the couch, reading a book in his hand with great interest: "Don't worry, the emperor will take care of him."

He glanced at the young eunuch and asked, "Didn't Prince Zhongshun even give you a purse?"

The young eunuch was at a loss for a moment before he reacted, his face becoming more aggrieved and angry: "No!"

"Haha! It seems that your official title is still too low, and he looks down on you!" The Supreme laughed, rolled up the book casually, and said, "Wait until your eunuch Dai comes back, and ask him to choose a prestigious position for you to be promoted, and that will be all."

The young eunuch said angrily: "Okay! I will file a complaint when the old man comes back!"

Tai Shang smiled and lowered his head to read a book.

He was not good at offending people or dealing with them, but he had a son who was the best at doing these things, so he let his son do it.

Prince Zhongshun and his entourage arrived at the Yanjia Palace.

The gate was opened, and a message was passed inside for them to come in: "His Majesty is talking to the Queen Mother, the Prince, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince's Consort, please come in."

This attitude is both gentle and intimate.

The anger of King Zhongshun was slightly relieved, and he walked in, and smiled and chatted with the messenger who came to tell him the truth:

"Are your Majesty and the Queen here?"

The guide just smiled and held out his hand, "Please, my lord, be careful where you step."

She didn't even give an answer to such a normal question of his!

Prince Zhongshun's face suddenly darkened.

what is this! ?

It seems that you are being polite and respectful, but in fact you are despising yourself!

Xue Baochai walked behind the prince. She raised her eyes slightly and saw the expression on Prince Zhongshun's face. She felt more and more annoyed.

Even the Empress Dowager, with her own intelligence, has suffered many losses!

I told the father and son when I got home. Why did they treat it as nothing?

He's just a prince of the royal family. He did a dirty job for the emperor in his early years. Do you think he's treated as a guest of honor?

They must not forget that King Zhongshun is the descendant of the one who fought with the Supreme Lord. He can be a mascot for the Supreme Lord's favor, but he will also be someone others secretly fear!

Since you have been kneeling for half your life, you might as well kneel down obediently!

You insist on standing up in front of the young and strong new emperor. What does this mean? Are you tired of living?!

Xue Baochai lowered her eyes to hide her complaints.

She didn't want to marry a royal family, especially someone with a muddled mind.

Her uncle had already returned to Beijing and had sent a message for her to come over.

It was probably because the entrance guard of Prince Zhongshun's mansion was too strict. Otherwise, I would have to go to the Wang family and ask in person:

Back then, he sent a niece into the palace as a concubine, which was a great advantage.

Now he has repeated the same trick and sent another niece to be someone else's daughter-in-law. May I ask how he is going to take advantage of this time?

It's not like his Wang family doesn't have girls, and it's not like Wang Ziteng doesn't have a daughter, so why doesn't he send his daughter away, but instead sends someone else's daughter? !

Xue Baochai was just daydreaming when the guide in front of her said with a warm smile, "Since several princesses and county ladies are here, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for the prince and the young master.

"Please wait here for a moment. I will go and inform them."

Xue Baochai raised her head again and saw that it was the outer door of the rear hall of Yanjia Palace. She thought to herself: The Queen Mother is really very sad, so she fell ill and could not dress up and sit in the main hall.

At one point, a message came from inside: "Your Majesty, please come in."

Prince Zhongshun, the Crown Prince and Xue Baochai then filed in.

The empress dowager was simply dressed, wearing a leather skirt, soft boots, and a cloak. She was sitting warmly on the couch, talking in a low voice to Emperor Zhaoming who was sitting on the chair below.

The three of them entered, knelt down and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager first, then to Emperor Zhaoming. After the ceremony was over, the Empress Dowager's kind voice sounded:

"Forget it, stop praying, and get up.

"Zhongshun is old too, someone come and give him a hand."

The eunuch who had led the way came up and diligently lifted up King Zhongshun's arm.

Prince Zhongshun suddenly froze half of his body.

He lowered his head to endure the anger, and when Prince Zhongshun looked up again, he had a sad and concerned look on his face: "Is the Queen Mother okay?

"I am very sad to hear the bad news about Aunt Cheng. Please take care of yourself."

All good words.

But after saying it all together, it more or less sounded like a curse on the Queen Mother to follow in Cheng Qian's footsteps.

Daiyu and the other two who were hiding behind the screen suddenly looked cold.

Hongchang rolled his eyes without caring and whispered to the two of them, "Our uncle Zhongshun is the first person in the world who can be deserted by his friends and relatives just by talking."

"Enough!" Daiyu also rolled her eyes and snorted softly, "He just bullies the weak and fears the strong! Just let him say this to the Supreme Lord and see how he does it!"

Tanchun agreed with this, but she said nothing. She just listened attentively to the movements of the Empress Dowager outside.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I am an old monster, the most heartless. Don't worry, I will live a long and happy life and die after you.

"This matter of Cheng Qian is not over yet. Sooner or later, I will find out the mastermind behind this and skin him alive."

After a pause, she laughed again, "Actually, I'm just a woman in the palace, how could I have that ability?

"I am glad that I have a good son who will surely bless me with everything I want and turn adversity into luck!"

As he spoke, he looked at Emperor Zhaoming lovingly.

Emperor Zhaoming also looked at the Empress Dowager with a smile: "My son is a complete man only with his father, the Emperor, and his mother, the Empress Dowager. My son is willing to be supported by the whole world, and I only hope that my father and mother are healthy and happy."

The mother and son showed off their loving kindness and filial piety in front of King Zhongshun.

Prince Chungshun's parents died miserably and a long time ago.

The mother of Prince Zhongshun was also buried in a low-key manner a few years ago with the posthumous title of Prince's Consort.

As for Xue Baochai, losing her father at a young age was a lifelong pain.

The family of three all looked disfigured.

However, after Emperor Zhaoming and the Queen Mother finished speaking with a smile, they both looked at Prince Zhongshun, and the embarrassing state of these three people was clearly visible.

Emperor Zhaoming stood up and said, "It just so happens that I have an errand that I would like to assign to my nephew. Brother Wang, please come and listen."

Without even looking at Xue Baochai, he spoke in a slightly colder voice, "I heard that Xue is very talented in writing.

"It just so happens that the Queen sent over the scriptures she copied for the Queen Mother.

"Ms. Xue can also make a copy outside here and pray for the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother said nothing, her smile faded, and her eyes turned away.

It was the first time that Prince Zhongshun saw with his own eyes the Queen Mother and Emperor Zhaoming's attitude towards Xue Baochai, and he could not help but be stunned.

Xue Baochai's mind raced, and she instantly thought of a way to save herself. She bowed her head, knelt down, and respectfully agreed, but at the same time she added:

"I miss Princess Zhaoqing and Princess Yimin. Can I spend some time with them?"

"They don't have time to see you." The Queen Mother refused.

Prince Zhongshun's expression relaxed.

It turned out that it was because of those two maids that Xue earned the dislike of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

That's a small matter.
