Chapter 222: Grow up safely and protect the princess
"Your Majesty and I have the same idea. We both hope that by handing the princess over to you, she will grow up safely and healthily."
"The emperor originally wanted to issue an order directly, but I was worried that if you had concerns and were unwilling to accept Wen Yi, it would be bad, so I asked the emperor to ask you."
"But before the emperor asks you, I decided to come here in person so that you can know about this matter in advance. Then, whether you are willing or not, you can be prepared in advance and will not be caught off guard by the emperor."
Fu Cha Zhixi explained why he had come to find her on his own initiative.
Fu Cha Zhixi's words quickly improved Jingpin's impression of her. She didn't expect that this person who looked cold and aloof could have such a delicate and considerate mind.
No wonder the emperor dotes on Concubine Xuan so much. She also likes such considerate people.
"Thank you for your kindness, ma'am."
"Your Majesty, you may not know that this Xianfu Palace has a total of 326 bricks. I have touched them over and over again during this long night."
"Your Highness has only been in the palace for a short time, and you are deeply favored by the Emperor. Naturally, you cannot understand how lonely it is for someone like me to live in this harem."
"If I could have a child by my side, I could watch her grow up day by day, and then I would have something to look forward to in my life, and not be as boring as a rotten dead tree every day."
As Jingpin talked about the torment she had endured over the years, tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes.
"But now, I never thought that I would actually have a child one day. This is as beautiful as a dream for me."
"Your Majesty, you may not know that I have taken a lot of medicine to regulate my body, but I have not been able to have my own child for so many years. Now I am not young anymore. If I can raise Princess Wen Yi by my side, it will be the fulfillment of my lifelong dream."
As she spoke, Jingpin took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears. After calming down a little, she continued.
"I understand your concerns, madam. Don't worry, I will leave the princess to me. I will protect her at all costs. No one should think of bullying her again."
Jingpin's eyes were filled with hatred. She could be humiliated by Concubine Nian, but if Concubine Nian refused to let the princess go, she would fight to the death with Concubine Nian even if it cost her everything.
"Okay, I believe you. With your words, I am more certain that my choice is the right one."
"The princess will be handed over to you in the future. Whether you can keep her by your side forever depends on whether you can make the emperor trust you and raise her healthily."
"The emperor loves Wen Yi."
Fu Cha Zhixi's words pointed out Jingpin's future course of action.
"Thank you for your guidance, my lady. I understand."
Jingpin looked at Fucha Zhixi with great gratitude and said.
"I would like to ask if you are willing to raise Princess Wen Yi?"
The emperor was worried about Wen Yi and wanted to find a suitable adoptive mother for her as soon as possible, so he came to Jingpin's palace at night.
"I am willing, Your Majesty. When the princess comes to my side in the future, I will definitely treat her as my own daughter and will never let anyone hurt her in the slightest!"
Jingpin naturally did not hesitate. She stood up and knelt in front of the emperor, speaking in a firm tone.
Although Concubine Xuan swore that the Emperor had chosen her, she could never completely let go of her worries until the Emperor told her in person.
Now that she had heard such words from the emperor, her excitement was self-evident.
"Get up, get up."
"In that case, I will leave the princess to you. I hope you can raise her wholeheartedly."
The emperor naturally didn't think that Concubine Jing would reject him, but asking this question was also a way of expressing his feelings for Wen Yi.
Seeing Jingpin's rare excitement, he couldn't help but relax his brows and took the initiative to reach out and help Jingpin up.
"Your Majesty, I will order my servants to clean up the house and prepare the most suitable room for the princess."
Having said that, Concubine Jing turned around and gave instructions to Ruyi who was standing beside her.
"My lady, don't worry, I will go right away."
As Jingpin's personal maid, Ruyi naturally understood how happy her majesty was. She knew how much her majesty was looking forward to raising a child with her, so now that her majesty had finally got her wish, she was naturally happy for her.
The emperor smiled helplessly when he saw this.
"You, I know you feel sorry for the princess, but you don't have to be so anxious."
"Your Majesty, I am going to say something that I shouldn't say. I have always hoped to have a child. Now that my wish has finally come true, I can't wait to hold the princess by my side and take good care of her."
Jingpin sighed and said to the emperor with red eyes.
"I know everything."
The emperor also had some speculation about why Concubine Jing had not had a child for many years. He suspected that it was because she had smelled too much Huanyi incense around Concubine Nian when she was in the palace in the past, which was why she had not been able to get pregnant for many years.
Although he was not too fond of Concubine Jing, she had been with him for many years, so he had some affection for her.
So when he saw that the other party was so anxious, he could understand the other party's feelings.
On the one hand, Jingpin was indeed worried that things would get more complicated if things went on for too long, and wanted to get this matter done as soon as possible to avoid any complications. On the other hand, she was also worried that Wen Yi would become a tool for Concubine Nian to vent her anger, so she said these words in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to let me go and bring the princess here right now."
When Concubine Jing thought of Wen Yi's adorable appearance at her first birthday party, she made up her mind, stood up and knelt in front of the emperor to beg.
"Isn't this a bit too hasty?"
The emperor didn't expect that Jingpin would be so anxious that he couldn't wait for a whole day.
"Your Majesty, I am really worried about the princess."
Jingpin knelt on the ground and looked up at the emperor, saying with pleading eyes.
The emperor naturally understood the meaning of the other party's words, which made him feel a little dissatisfied.
Did Jingpin say this because she felt that she, as the father, did not love the princess enough, and that was why she handed the princess over to Concubine Nian?
The emperor looked at Jingpin with a serious look and did not answer.
"Your Majesty, I know a little about what happened yesterday. The princess is weak, and Concubine Nian is young and energetic. I'm afraid she doesn't have much experience in raising children, so I want to bring the princess to my side as soon as possible."
The implication of Jingpin's words was almost obvious: she was worried that Concubine Nian would vent her anger on the princess.
"Concubine Nian is indeed a bit rash. In that case, Su Peisheng, bring the princess here with you."
After hearing what Concubine Jing said, the emperor was silent for a long time.
Now his impression of Concubine Nian has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and he really can't say that she will not attack the princess.
