Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 564 The Crown Prince's Concubine 21

Just as Jiang Chunxi had thought, Tang Xiji was really worried after not seeing his children for a few days, so he came to Jiang Chunxi's place in the evening, and the family of five had a warm dinner together.

Of course, Tang Xiji did not stay overnight. After all, it was still the time of mourning for the late emperor. How could Tang Xiji spend the night in the concubine's bedroom?

The next morning, Jiang Chunxi got up early, packed up, and went to pay her respects to Xie Junwen. Although Xie Junwen was not the queen, she was the imperial concubine after all, so the rules of paying her respects still had to be followed.

Of course, I also brought my three children with me. After all, I had to pay my respects to the Queen Mother today.

So not only did Jiang Chunxi bring her three children, but other concubines who had children also brought their children, but they all gave birth to princesses, and this was of course due to Jiang Chunxi's credit.

Haha! If you have a cheat but don't use it, you are a fool, so Tang Xiji's only two sons are both born to Jiang Chunxi.

However, it was time for others to give Tang Xiji another son or two. Jiang Chunxi was not afraid of being suspected, but just wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble. After all, if she was the only one with a son, who knew what dirty water these women in the harem would throw on her.

When Jiang Chunxi brought her three children to Xie Junwen's palace, all the concubines were there except Concubine Du.

This means that everyone is waiting for Concubine Du, which makes Xie Junwen look a little ugly.

"I'm not late, am I?" Concubine Du arrived on time. "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. It's because my fifth princess is still young and she has to wait until her child finishes feeding before she can go out. It's not that I intentionally wanted to be late."

The fifth princess is Concubine Du’s second daughter, and she is only seven months old.

"Noble Consort Du, please remember your words," Xie Junwen said with a dark face, "I am the Imperial Noble Consort, and I was the Crown Princess before. Noble Consort Du calls me "sister" and includes me in the category. Is this an attempt to disobey your superiors?"

"What's more, there is Concubine Jiang?" Xie Junwen looked at Jiang Chunxi, "According to the first-come-first-served rule, Concubine Du should call Concubine Jiang "sister."

"I feel that what the Imperial Concubine said is a little inappropriate. We are all sisters serving the Emperor, so why bother about whether we are the elder sister or the younger sister? I am of humble origins, and it is a great blessing for me to serve the Emperor. Imperial Concubine Du is from a famous family, and General Du is even more loyal to the Emperor in the court."

"Unlike me, I don't have a family that can help the emperor in the court, so I don't have the face to call myself a sister in front of Concubine Du, so please don't say such things in the future, otherwise I don't know how to be ashamed in front of Concubine Du."

Xie Junwen wanted to drag her into the water, but how could Jiang Chunxi let her do as she wished? It is said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Jiang Chunxi certainly would not be foolish enough to confront Concubine Du, so she and Concubine Du seemed to get along well over the years.

"What Imperial Concubine Jiang said is correct," Imperial Concubine Du sneered at Xie Junwen and said, "We are all sisters serving the Emperor, so why bother to worry about whether she should be called elder sister or younger sister? Imperial Concubine is really narrow-minded for caring so much about a title."

Xie Junwen's face turned even darker, but she still suppressed her anger. After all, she still had to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, and she didn't have the time to continue arguing with Concubine Du.

"Okay, it's getting late. Sisters, please follow me to pay your respects to the Queen Mother!" As Xie Junwen's voice fell, everyone followed her to the Queen Mother's palace.

The Queen Mother was actually very happy today. After all, she was finally promoted from Queen to Queen Mother, becoming the most honorable woman in the world. So how could she not be happy?

"First Prince, Second Prince, come here and let Grandmother take a good look at you." The Queen Mother smiled at her two grandsons and said:

As for her other granddaughters...

It's not that the Queen Mother doesn't like her granddaughter, but can a granddaughter be compared to a grandson? No matter how much she likes her granddaughter, there are limits, but it's different for a grandson.

Of course, Jiang Chunxi's daughter is an exception. In any case, the Empress Dowager could not like her eldest granddaughter Tang Baojiao no matter what.

If Jiang Chunxi had not been the only one who had given her two grandsons, the Empress Dowager's love for each grandson would have been greatly reduced.

Jiang Chunxi's two sons came to the empress dowager obediently and were praised by her. In short, the concubines present, especially those with children, were extremely envious and jealous.

"The Emperor has arrived." Just then the eunuch's voice came from outside, and then Tang Xiji was seen walking in from outside.

Everyone immediately saluted Tang Xiji. Tang Xiji asked everyone to stand up and sat down on the chair below the empress dowager. Then he saw his mother holding her two sons in each hand, and then looking at her precious eldest daughter. His brows couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"Jiao'er, come to your father." Tang Xiji gave his beloved eldest daughter a doting smile.

The queen mother was too partial. She only cared about bringing her two grandchildren to her side to show them affection. Wasn't this intentional to make Jiao'er feel bad? After all, children care a lot about the love of their elders.

The concubines present had no idea what Tang Xiji was thinking at the moment, but his behavior had already made them very angry.

Of course, this is aimed at those concubines who have children. As for those concubines who do not have children, although they are somewhat uncomfortable with the emperor's partiality, they did not care about anything in the end. After all, they do not have children, so what is there to care about?

"Dad." Tang Baojiao came to her father and called him "Dad" in a sweet voice.

After so many years, Tang Baojiao's way of addressing her father has not changed, and Tang Xiji has not thought of correcting his daughter. Instead, he is very happy to let his precious daughter call him daddy all the time.

The Queen Mother's face immediately turned cold: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor now. It is not appropriate to let the eldest princess call your father like this!"

"What's wrong with that?" Tang Xiji smiled and touched his precious daughter's head, then looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Mother, although I am the emperor, to my child, I am no different from an ordinary father, so Jiao'er can call me whatever you want! After all, she is my first child, and she should have some privileges."

What Tang Xiji meant by this was almost obvious: only his daughter Jiao'er could call him dad, but other children could not.

It seems as if Tang Baojiao is the only daughter he has, and the other children are adopted. Tang Xiji's partiality is naturally to highlight the uniqueness of his eldest daughter.

You have to know that Jiao'er is the apple of his eye, so naturally she cannot be compared with other princes and princesses, even the two sons he and Chunxi had.
