Chapter 760 Princess's Revenge 8
The news that the emperor had given the princess two concubines spread quickly.
During the morning court the next day, some ministers requested the emperor to revoke the order and quickly deal with the two concubines. They said that doting on the princess would damage the reputation of the royal family, and they also listed several possible dangers that might arise if the princess kept concubines.
Then the emperor dealt with the ministers who shouted the loudest. He directly dismissed them from their official posts and gave them twenty lashes with the cane. This immediately silenced all the ministers in the court and they dared not say anything more.
"My legitimate princess is the most noble person in the world besides me. It's no big deal to just keep a few concubines," the emperor said in a cold voice filled with murderous intent. "If anyone dares to bring this matter of the princess keeping concubines to the court again, don't blame me for killing them without mercy."
"I dare not." The ministers in the court knelt down quickly, and at the same time asked them to re-evaluate the princess's favor.
It’s fortunate that the princess is a girl, otherwise if it was a son, then there would be no chance for other princes to take the position of crown prince.
After the court was dismissed, the Third Prince came to Concubine Shu's palace with a grim look on his face.
"Mother, the emperor really dotes on that bitch Jiang Chunxi!" After letting the palace maids leave, the third prince gritted his teeth and said with a gloomy face, "At the morning court today, the emperor punished several court officials because of that bitch Jiang Chunxi."
"You are not unaware of your father's love for that bastard Jiang Chunxi, so why are you so angry?" Concubine Shu said, "I asked you to come here mainly to tell you that that bastard Jiang Chunxi seems to have realized something."
As she spoke, Concubine Shu recounted what happened in the imperial study yesterday.
"What went wrong? Could it be that Cui Junyu revealed something to Jiang Chunxi?" Concubine Shu said with a serious expression, "Otherwise, why would that bastard Jiang Chunxi target me like that yesterday?"
The Third Prince's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. "Great! So it was Cui Junyu who did this. I knew it. Yesterday, that bitch Jiang Chunxi spoke to me like she was holding a gun and a stick. Not only did she mock me, but she also set traps for me. If I hadn't reacted in time, I would have been led into the trap by her and had her slander me in front of my father."
"What's going on? Tell me in detail," Concubine Shu asked anxiously. After listening to her son's detailed explanation, Concubine Shu's expression became more serious. "It seems that the bastard Jiang Chunxi really suspected something. Cui Junyu is a useless man who can't do anything, but always makes trouble. If it weren't for..."
If Cui Junyu could not be touched at the moment, Concubine Shu would definitely find someone to kill Cui Junyu.
The emperor demoted Cui Junyu to a lover in the princess's mansion. It is said that the eunuch who went to Cui's mansion to convey the emperor's order had specifically instructed that after Cui Junyu and Dai Yinyin recovered from their injuries, the princess's mansion would send someone to pick them up.
What does this mean? It means that Jiang Chunxi is still angry. Concubine Shu knows Jiang Chunxi's temper very well. Jiang Chunxi clearly wants to torture Cui Junyu slowly. If she sends someone to kill Cui Junyu at this time, Jiang Chunxi will go crazy.
If Jiang Chunxi goes crazy, it means that the emperor has gone crazy. Once the emperor goes crazy, how can he not thoroughly investigate the cause of Cui Junyu's death?
Therefore, to touch Cui Junyu at this time would be tantamount to seeking one's own death. After all, there is nothing that the emperor cannot thoroughly investigate.
The Third Prince: "Mother, what should we do next? We can't let all these years of hard work go to waste!"
"Don't worry! Even if Cui Junyu accidentally reveals something in front of Jiang Chunxi, it's nothing," Concubine Shu sneered with contempt, "Jiang Chunxi is just a fool. We mother and son have been able to deceive her for so many years. Are we still afraid that she can turn over our palms?"
When the Third Prince heard his mother's words, his expression immediately became much better: "That's right, Jiang Chunxi is a fool. Even if she suspects something, so what? Just coax her a little more and that'll be all."
As he spoke, the Third Prince stood up and said, "Mother, I have official duties to attend to, so I will leave first."
"Go!" Concubine Shu looked at her son with a loving face as he turned and left, and immediately asked someone to prepare the clothes.
It has been said that Concubine Shu put a lot of effort into pleasing the original owner, so it was not just cooking. She also often made clothes, handkerchiefs, and sachets for Jiang Chunxi.
Concubine Shu planned to make a set of clothes and send it to Jiang Chunxi as soon as possible.
Two days later, Jiang Chunxi received the clothes sent by Concubine Shu, but she was asked to send them back intact, which made Concubine Shu laugh in the harem.
However, Concubine Shu did not take it seriously. After all, she had been ridiculed for her low status towards Jiang Chunxi over the years.
In the following period of time, Concubine Shu persisted in sending things to Jiang Chunxi. Whether it was food or daily necessities, they were all made by Concubine Shu herself.
As for valuables, there were certainly none, after all, Concubine Shu was reluctant to give them away. It was just that the original owner foolishly thought that the things Concubine Shu gave her were all given with sincerity and were not comparable to those valuable things at all.
Since Concubine Shu was so persistent in trying to please her, Jiang Chunxi naturally had to go to the palace to show her face.
Of course, after entering the palace, Jiang Chunxi first went to the emperor to make her presence felt, and then came to the Imperial Garden. There was no need for her to go to the Concubine Shu's Palace specifically.
Because she knew very well that Concubine Shu would soon find out that she was in the Imperial Garden and would come to her on her own initiative.
Jiang Chunxi's prediction was correct. Not long after she arrived at the Imperial Garden, Concubine Shu appeared.
"I salute the princess," Concubine Shu came to Jiang Chunxi and immediately saluted her respectfully, "The peonies in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom this year. The princess came to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers today. The spring scenery in the garden makes the princess, a flower of wealth and honor, even more beautiful."
"Shufei is so bold," Jiang Chunxi plucked a peony flower, put it to her nose and smelled it, without even giving Shufei a glance, "You dare to compare me with the flower. It seems that I have indulged you too much over the years, so you dare to slander me like this."
"Princess, you are really wronging me," Concubine Shu said hurriedly, "I am praising you, how can I be disparaging you?"
"Oh! Concubine Shu is flattering the horse's legs," the imperial concubine came over with a dozen palace maids and eunuchs behind her. "Tsk tsk! This is really a wonder of the world. I didn't expect that Concubine Shu, as a flatterer, would not be effective sometimes. She flattered the horse's legs. It seems that Concubine Shu still needs to learn more about flattery."
"Otherwise, if you flatter the horse again and end up hitting the horse's leg, I'm afraid the princess won't let you off easily!"
The original owner was the emperor's first daughter, but not the first child. The eldest prince and the second prince were born earlier than the original owner. As the emperor's first daughter, she was naturally the eldest princess.
