Chapter 617 The Emperor Wants the Concubine to Raise the Three Princes (3 Bonus Points)
As she stuffed the meat into her mouth, she said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I will treat you to some meat."
"After eating the meat, you can only favor me, your concubine, and you can no longer turn over the cards of these vixen..."
These lunatics were all stronger than each other, and Liu Shiqing was being held by so many people, so there was no way he could struggle free.
She could only watch helplessly as the other party stuffed the lice into her mouth...
"vomit--!!!"
This time, Liu Shiqing was really disgusted to the point of vomiting!
In the end, Cuizhu came back and drove away all those crazy women.
"Master, are you okay?"
Liu Shiqing gritted his teeth, his face full of stubbornness, refusing to show any weakness: "...It's okay!"
She would never be defeated by this setback!
"Aren't you going to find something to eat?"
Cuizhu lowered her head: "Master, I am incompetent..."
The palace is full of slaves who flatter the powerful and bully the weak, and the cold palace is even worse.
Now that she has even been kicked out of the cold palace, and Chu Xiyan is deliberately making things difficult for her, how can she ever find a clean time?
Liu Shiqing walked inside: "I don't believe they dare to starve me to death here!"
The next day.
The person who delivered the meal was still Chu Xiyan, not to mention the food in the lunch box.
Cuizhu asked angrily, "Why is it rotten again?!"
"My master is the eldest princess' biological mother after all. If you treat her like this, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will chop off your head after he finds out?!"
Chu Xiyan sneered: "Your Majesty is now obsessed with the virtuous concubine. How can he still remember a sinner?"
“Eat it if you like it!”
After she finished speaking, she put down the food, turned around and left.
She really couldn't kill Liu Shiqing openly, but if he starved herself to death, it would be none of her business.
"……you!"
Cuizhu and Liu Shiqing looked at Chu Xiyan's back angrily, but could do nothing.
On the first day, both the master and the servant were unwilling to eat the rotten food.
Same thing the next day.
The same goes for the third day.
On the fourth day, both of them were so hungry that they were dizzy and weak. When they saw the rotten food, they swallowed their saliva subconsciously...
Day ...
Cuizhu was so hungry that she grabbed the food on the table and stuffed it into her mouth!
After eating and regaining some strength, Cuizhu picked up a rotten-smelling steamed bun and fed it to Liu Shiqing's mouth.
"Master, if this continues, we will really starve to death."
"No matter what, let's survive first..."
Liu Shiqing leaned weakly in Cuizhu's arms and opened his mouth in grievance...
Suddenly, there was a noise at the door and those crazy women came in again.
In the past, the rations for the cold palace were withheld by the palace servants, and all the food delivered to them was rotten and not filling enough.
Ever since Shen Zhinian took over here, he has done his job well and no one dares to withhold anything.
These crazy women have already eaten normal meals and are no longer hungry, so they naturally look down on rotten food.
As soon as they came in, they overturned the table, stepped on Cuizhu and Liu Shiqing's unfinished food, and rushed towards her: "Your Majesty, come and play..."
……
Zhongcui Palace.
After Shen Zhinian finished handling the palace affairs, he casually asked, "How is Liu's situation these days?"
Little Zhouzi said in a daze: "…My lady, she has become the emperor in the cold palace."
Shen Zhinian: "..."
After understanding the situation, she gently rocked the Fourth Prince's cradle and paid no more attention to the matter.
The retribution Liu Shiqing is getting now is all the result of the evil deeds she had done in the past.
She deserves to bear any revenge Chu Xiyan takes on her.
Before dinner, Xiao Huizi came to Zhongcui Palace, performed his greetings and said respectfully: "… Lady Xianfei, His Majesty sent me here to tell you that he will be coming over for dinner tonight."
Shen Zhinian nodded slightly: "Got it."
Xiao Huizi bowed again and left with the reward.
Nanny Xiao has already ordered the small kitchen to prepare it.
As expected, Nangong Xuanyu arrived on time.
After dinner, the emperor and his concubine sat on the soft couch by the window and chatted.
Tang Luochuan said that the wound on Shen Zhinian's arm was very deep and it would take two to three months to fully recover.
It will take longer to lighten scars.
So now, it is Nangong Xuanyu who holds the Fourth Prince, and his movements are becoming more and more skillful.
The two of them teased the Fourth Prince for a long time before letting the wet nurse take him away to rest.
After chatting for a while, Nangong Xuanyu talked about another matter: "... Nian Nian thinks, who in the palace is suitable to raise the eldest princess and the third prince now?"
More than half a month has passed since Liu Shiqing was banished to the cold palace.
During this period, the eldest princess and the third prince lived in a side hall of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, and were cared for by a wet nurse and a nanny.
But this is not a long-term solution after all.
Even in the palace, there were some bad rumors——
Not long after the third prince was born, his biological mother, Xiao Yueying, was demoted to a commoner and executed by His Majesty.
Later, Concubine Shu became his adoptive mother. She also became a commoner and was banished to the cold palace.
Whoever supports him will be unlucky. Isn't this the fate of a star born from misfortune?
In the end, it was Shen Zhinian and Concubine Liang who dealt with the matter seriously and punished a group of palace servants who gossiped behind the back, thus preventing the rumors from escalating.
Having said that, the emperor still heard of it.
He already felt pity for the Third Prince because he was an idiot. How could he bear to see him being slandered by rumors?
Therefore, the emperor wanted to find a adoptive mother with great fortune for the third prince to dispel the rumors.
Nian Nian is undoubtedly the best choice.
Seeing Nangong Xuanyu's intention, Shen Zhinian was silent...
She is not without her own children, nor is she incapable of having children. She is not a saint with selfless love. So why should she raise someone else's child?
Moreover…Although the imperial physician did not clearly point out that there was anything wrong with the Third Prince, as he gradually grew up, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was different from ordinary people.
If anything happened to the Third Prince in the future, she would be accused of failing to take good care of him.
The emperor's offspring are already few and each one is extremely precious. How can she have a good ending then?
Shen Zhinian said that she would not harm any fetus or child. But this does not mean that she would sacrifice her own and Ah Xu's interests to fulfill others.
Shen Zhinian lowered his eyes, as if he didn't understand the emperor's hint, and analyzed: "The only people in the harem who are qualified to raise the royal heir are Concubine Liang and Concubine Xue."
"If Your Majesty feels that they are not suitable, there are many concubines in the palace who do not have children. It is reasonable for Your Majesty to promote them to the position of concubines in order to let them raise the heirs."
With Shen Zhinian's current identity and status, she no longer needs to take a small concubine position seriously.
Nangong Xuanyu naturally heard Shen Zhinian's refusal, but he was not angry.
Taking care of a baby is the most exhausting thing.
Nian Nian has to take care of Ah Xu and handle palace affairs every day, and her injuries have not healed yet, so it is indeed not appropriate for her to raise the third prince.
It's because he didn't think carefully.
