Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 283 5 The Prince Asked the Queen for Help

Qiyun Hall.

Huang Ye picked up the prince and let the Fifth Prince touch his feathers. She didn't care what others called her, as long as she knew that they were calling her.

When the fifth prince's little hand rested on the prince's body, the prince couldn't help but tremble. The dead child's hand was really cold, but considering that the master liked him so much, he reluctantly let him touch it.

The Fifth Prince instantly fell in love with the eagle prince: "Prince, I like you." He said as he touched the prince's shiny feathers. Because he grew up in such an environment, the Fifth Prince could only use "like" to express his love.

Looking at the jealous eyes of his unfilial son, the retired emperor had nothing to understand: "Well, it's getting late, Concubine Huang, you should hurry back to Ningyuxuan." It would be best to pack up this unfilial son and take him back with him.

"Then..." Huang Ye also knew that it was getting late. She looked at the Fifth Prince's reluctant eyes and said, "Tomorrow, I will come to see you. You must listen to the imperial physician, take the medicine well, and don't be afraid of the bitterness..." She kept nagging like an old mother who was worried about her child.

"Alright, alright, you little kid, why are you so slow?"

Seeing that unfilial son's face was turning greener and greener, the retired emperor hurriedly drove Huang Ye out. This kid didn't know how to read people's faces... His unfilial son would have a hard time winning people's hearts.

Huang Ye asked the prince to stay and accompany the child for a while. She walked out with the emperor. When they reached the gate, Huang Ye waved and said goodbye to the emperor happily: "Your Majesty, take care. See you next time."

The emperor just watched his Huang YeZhu and her maid Hong Dou skipping away.

The two of them kept fighting as they walked, just like two children who have not grown up yet. The emperor was worried and wondered when this yellow leaf would grow up.

Ningyuxuan.

Walking into the gate of Ningyuxuan, Huang Ye looked back furtively. Fortunately, the emperor did not follow.

Huang Ye is very smart. The playfulness she had with Hongdou just now was just for the emperor to see, so that the emperor would think she is still young. For some reason, she just doesn't want the emperor to come to her Ningyuxuan.

Fanghua told Luodou to cook quickly. An Ning couldn't wait for Huang Ye and had already eaten dinner and left. Fanghua didn't know when she would come back, so she had to tell Luodou to prepare some food and cook for her as soon as the queen came back.

"Aunt, I have something to ask you." Huang Ye felt that she was not hungry, so she instructed Hongdou to send some snacks to the Fifth Prince, and then she started to talk about business.

"Why does Concubine Gui hate the Fifth Prince so much?" She told Fanghua what happened today.

"I was wondering why the child was so thin. The people in Concubine Gui's palace also said that he was born without a mother and suffered harm in the womb. Bah, they are such black-hearted and rotten things. They died without giving in." Fanghua said hatefully.

"Aunt, I heard that the fifth prince's biological mother was Concubine Gui's personal maid before she entered the palace?" Huang Ye asked.

"Yes, after Xiao Ru entered the palace, she became the maid of Concubine Gui, and I am familiar with her." Fang Hua was a little sad: "She is a simple-minded person, who only cares about her master..."

It turned out that Concubine Gui was selected into the palace. Her father was just a minor official and could not help her much in the harem. She herself was a dull and boring person. The emperor visited her a few times, but gradually he went less and less.

More than ten years passed in a flash. Seeing that other concubines had children one by one, but her own queen was still alone, Xiao Ruo had the idea of ​​giving birth to a child for her queen.

Xiao Ruo told her master about her idea, and Concubine Gui did not express her unwillingness. She just pretended to be sick when the emperor at that time, now the emperor emeritus, came occasionally, and personally sent Xiao Ruo to the emperor emeritus' bed.

Xiao Ruo was also very hardworking. The emperor only went there a few times and she became pregnant. Concubine Gui also seemed very happy.

Although Xiaoruo was promoted to a talented person because she was pregnant with the royal heir, Concubine Gui was only a concubine at that time, so Xiaoruo did not move out and always lived with Concubine Gui.

When Xiaoruo was about to give birth after ten months of pregnancy, she fell down for unknown reasons. When the imperial physician arrived, she was already dead.

However, the child she gave birth to with all her might was still alive. Seeing that Concubine Gui was sad and feeling sorry for her for having no children, the retired emperor placed the fifth prince at her lap and let her raise him, thinking that having a child would give her someone to rely on when she was old.

"Now it seems that Xiao Ruo may not have had a difficult delivery due to an accident. Concubine Gui must have had her hand in this. But what I can't understand is, since she killed the mother and took the child away, why didn't she cherish the child?" Fanghua also found it hard to understand.

"Maybe... Concubine Gui loves the retired emperor too much. She is jealous of Xiao Ruo for being favored by the retired emperor, so when she sees the fifth prince she thinks of his mother..." Huang Ye said.

"This is a typical person with a dark mentality. He behaves in a low-key manner outside, but becomes arrogant when he returns to his own territory..."

She suspected that Concubine Gui was suffering from an extremely low self-esteem, which was a mental illness. She felt that her life was not as favored as that of a palace maid. Her dark emotions accumulated to a peak, and she could only vent her anger on her child.

Hongdou came back from Qiyun Palace and said that the Fifth Prince had already gone to bed. Huang Ye did not think too much about these things. What worried her most now was how to get Ludou to leave the palace and train a few good chefs for her.

Kunning Palace.

The Queen listened expressionlessly as Nanny Yang told her about the Fifth Prince. In fact, her heart was already in turmoil at that time. She had not expected that Concubine Huang would reveal this matter not long after entering the palace.

She still remembered that a few years ago, it seemed that the emperor had just ascended the throne not long ago, she met the fifth prince who had been waiting there on the road.

The fifth prince seemed to be only three or four years old at the time, hiding behind a tree pitifully. When he saw her coming, he ran out from behind the tree, shouting, "Sister-in-law, help me, sister-in-law, help me..."

However, Concubine Gui's people immediately discovered him and dragged him away.

The queen didn't know what she was thinking at the time. She didn't make it public, nor did she tell the emperor, and she just suppressed the matter.

Subconsciously, she probably thought that this child would be a rival to the emperor for the throne when he grew up, and thought it would be better for Concubine Gui to torture him to death so that she wouldn't have to do it herself in the future.

"Madam, do you think the Fifth Prince still remembers what happened back then? Will he tell the Emperor?" Now the Queen doesn't hide anything from Madam Yang. She just told Madam Yang what happened a few years ago.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be afraid. That happened several years ago. If the Fifth Prince still remembers to tell you about it, you just have to deny it. As long as you deny it, the Emperor can't do anything to you."

Nanny Yang comforted the Queen, saying that she had been in low spirits recently and she needed to take good care of her.
