Chapter 204 Queen, Please Tell Me
Cining Palace.
"Madame Yingchun, right?" Little Prince Fu was not one to tolerate this: "You are the head madam of the Cining Palace. You don't even know how to arrange seats for a prince and a prince's son who came to the Cining Palace. Queen Mother, I think her position as head madam has reached the end of its limit. Please let someone else take the seat."
Seeing Nanny Yingchun kneeling on the ground in fear, the empress dowager could not help it: "This is my Cining Palace, not your Prince Fu's Mansion. It is not your turn to give orders here. If you feel uncomfortable standing here, then go out. No one invited you in." Although she really wanted to say get out, the emperor was still sitting here, so she didn't dare to say anything too harsh.
Prince Fu was not happy with this. "Your Majesty, please judge for yourself. Is this how the Cining Palace treats guests? Not only do they not give guests a seat, they also chase them away. If you don't care, I will go to my uncle and talk to him."
The Queen Mother scoffed at his threats. She was not afraid of him even if he tried to scare her with the Emperor Retired. That old man had never set foot in the Cining Palace. If the Emperor Retired really came to her for this matter, she would have to thank him.
The third prince also felt embarrassed. After all, he was a prince, but when he came to his mother's place, he couldn't even get a seat. Where would he put his face in front of so many concubines?
"Madam Yingchun, have someone bring two chairs over." The Third Prince frowned and looked at Yingchun who was kneeling on the ground, his princely style fully revealed.
"No." The Queen Mother started to act savagely again. She didn't believe that the third son would dare to cause trouble in her Cining Palace.
The Third Prince's face flushed. A fifteen-year-old boy was at the age of rebellion. Seeing his mother humiliating him in front of so many people, he also got angry for a moment: "Mother, do you really have to go this far?"
The emperor saw that things were not going well, and without waiting for the empress dowager to speak, he ordered Eunuch Yu: "Old Yu, have someone bring two chairs over for Prince Fu and the third son to sit on."
Eunuch Yu quickly agreed and asked someone to move the chair. He became Old Yu again. It seemed that the emperor was angry again. This empress dowager was really a troublemaker. She was never at ease.
Only when a chair was brought over and he sat down did the young Prince Fu feel satisfied. He looked at the Queen Mother with an indignant look on her face with an arrogant look, swinging his legs smugly. "If you have the guts, say a few more words. He just doesn't believe that even the Emperor can't control her."
Seeing that everyone was settled, the concubines came forward together to pay their respects: "Greetings to the Emperor, greetings to the Third Prince, greetings to the Prince of Fu." Huang Ye was still standing where she had just answered the Queen Mother. Once the concubines came over, everything was fine and they were all in line.
"Everyone, sit down." The emperor raised his hand, and everyone bowed and left. Huang Ye was not polite and left with everyone else. Anyway, the emperor did not mention her name separately to ask her to stay, and she was not a fool to stand there and be conspicuous.
The Emperor chatted with the Queen Mother: "My concubines are here to pay their respects to the Queen Mother. Is the Queen Mother satisfied?"
The Queen Mother was dissatisfied, very dissatisfied. Just now, the Emperor asked Eunuch Yu to arrange a seat for the Prince of Fu, which was clearly a slap in her face in front of so many people. Now he was hypocritically asking her if she was satisfied or not, which was simply a poke in her lungs.
"You've come at the right time. It was that Concubine Huang just now..." The Queen Mother pointed at Huang Ye and said, "She actually laughed at me in public. I was just about to punish her." If that Concubine Huang wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, it depended on whether she agreed or not.
"Oh." The emperor's expression was unrecognizable: "I wonder how that Huangpin mocked my mother? It made my mother angry."
"Your Majesty, I know the reason." Before the Queen Mother could speak, Xu Rou stood up and answered tenderly. The Emperor's cousin was getting more and more handsome. She really loved him more and more, and she wished she could have him right away.
The emperor didn't look at her, but the talkative little Prince Fu spoke up: "Xu Pin, right? If I remember correctly, you are the niece of the Empress Dowager, right?"
"That's right, Prince Fu." Xu Rou, like the Queen Mother, hated the Prince Fu so much. Why did he come out to interrupt the conversation when they were discussing serious matters?
"No wonder." Little Prince Fu suddenly realized: "I thought so. We have the empress dowager and the queen here. At the very least, there are two concubines and two beauties. How can it be the turn of a concubine to interrupt? If it's because you are from the empress dowager's family, then it makes sense." Little Prince Fu was the one who understood sarcasm the most.
Everyone present was convinced. This young Prince Fu didn't even give them, his aunt and niece, any face. With his arrogant look, people who didn't know would think that Concubine Huang was his relative.
In fact, everyone guessed correctly. The young Prince Fu treated Huang Ye as a relative. To Brother Huang, Huang Ye was his adopted sister, and after entering the palace, she became his brother's concubine. It would be unreasonable to say that she was not his relative.
"You..." Xu Rou was speechless. This Prince of Fu was simply her nemesis. Nothing good would happen to her whenever she met him.
"Your Majesty, look at him..." Xu Rou turned sideways and looked at the emperor, calling out in a delicate voice. She had looked at this side of her face in the mirror countless times, and she thought it was the best-looking side. The emperor would definitely be fascinated when he saw it.
The emperor, who Xu Rou thought would be fascinated, did not even bother to look at her. He said to the queen, who saw him come in and said nothing except paying her respects, "Queen, please tell me what's going on. I have handed the harem over to you. All affairs in the harem are under your jurisdiction. You have been the one to coordinate any problems. What kind of thing could make my mother come out personally to solve it?" He was complaining about the queen.
The emperor was also angry. He had been eavesdropping outside for such a long time. Even when the empress dowager wanted to have someone slap Huang Ye Zi's mouth, the queen didn't say a word. This queen was not as useless as he had imagined.
