Chapter 514 Only idiots will be beaten passively
At this point, the nurse handed the Fourth Prince to Shen Zhinian and said respectfully, "Your Highness, look, the Fourth Prince's posterior fontanelle has closed. After a while, the anterior fontanelle should also close."
Shen Zhinian was holding the Fourth Prince... Actually, it was hard to tell, and she didn't dare to reach out and touch him, for fear of hurting the child. In the end, she only dared to touch him carefully.
Fortunately, every time Tang Luochuan came to check on the Fourth Prince's pulse, he said that the Fourth Prince was developing very well.
Nanny Lin smiled and said, "The baby of this month can already recognize your voice from everyone else's. Your Majesty can talk to the Fourth Prince more often."
"really?"
Shen Zhinian found it amazing and asked in surprise, "Ah Xu is less than two and a half months old, and he can recognize my voice?"
Nanny Lin used a more rigorous statement: "It should be... If you hear a familiar voice among a bunch of strangers, you will listen more carefully."
The fourth prince had already woken up, and when everyone was talking, he turned his head unconsciously and looked around. His bright eyes finally looked at Shen Zhinian, and he babbled something.
Handan smiled and said, "It's just like what Nanny Lin said! What is this called? Mother and child are connected by heart."
Shen Zhinian had no makeup on her face. She lowered her head and kissed the Fourth Prince's face: "Our Ah Xu is the best."
Not long after, the Fourth Prince started crying.
The wet nurse stepped forward and said, "My Lady, the Fourth Prince must be hungry."
Shen Zhinian handed him over to the wet nurse and took him away to feed him.
In the afternoon, Xiao Mingzi suddenly strode in from outside: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has sent someone to invite you to the Yongshou Palace."
Shen Zhinian raised his eyes and looked at him: "What happened?"
Handan and the others also became nervous.
Ever since the alliance between Her Majesty and Imperial Concubine became in name only, they have been on guard against the people in Yongshou Palace.
The Imperial Concubine sent someone to invite Your Majesty over at this time. Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?
Xiao Mingzi said, "Not only did the Imperial Concubine send someone to invite you, she also sent someone to the Yangxin Palace to invite His Majesty. All the famous ladies and concubines in the harem were also invited by the Imperial Concubine."
Shen Zhinian stood up and walked to the bronze mirror: "Handan, help me dress up."
"Yes!"
During this process, Shen Zhinian asked, "Have you found out what happened?"
Time was short, and Xiao Mingzi only got a rough idea: "Your Majesty, it is said to be related to Concubine Liang. But the palace servants in Yongshou Palace are unwilling to reveal more details."
After he said that, Shen Zhinian knew what was going on.
Concubine Liu has always been a vengeful person. If she thought that what happened in the court some time ago was caused by the Zhuang family, how could she let Concubine Liang go?
If they fight, she will benefit!
Shen Zhinian never thought that what she did was wrong. In the harem struggle, she didn't make many plans for herself. Would she wait until Concubine Liu or Concubine Liang became the queen and then kill her and A Xu?
Only a fool would passively accept a beating and leave his own life and the lives of his children to be decided by others!
Soon, Handan finished dressing up for Shen Zhinian.
She and Fuqiu, one on each side, helped Shen Zhinian into the warm sedan chair, and the grand procession went all the way to Yongshou Palace.
……
Not only Concubine Liang's uncle and brother, but also many officials of the Zhuang family have been more or less excluded and suppressed in the officialdom in recent days.
If a person's career is not going well, it can be said to be his own problem. But when so many people encounter difficulties at the same time, it is obvious that the banker is being targeted.
Those who targeted them were all officials from the Dingguo Duke's Mansion faction.
Recently, the Zhuang family had not made any grudges with the Duke Dingguo's Mansion in the court. At most, they just followed the trend and sent a few people to ask for the establishment of the Imperial Concubine as the Imperial Concubine, which only increased His Majesty's suspicion of her.
Because of this, he suffered revenge from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion?
But didn’t Duke Dingguo also send someone to petition for Concubine Liang to be made Imperial Noble Consort?
What right does the Duke Dingguo Mansion have to hold a grudge about what happened between you and me?
In the harem, Concubine Liang’s situation was not very good either.
Although she was one of the four concubines, the power of the six palaces had long been returned to Concubine Liu. She couldn't do anything to Concubine Liang openly, but she could still disgust Concubine Liang in some secret ways.
For example, as the weather is getting colder, the quilts that the Ministry of Internal Affairs sends to Changchun Palace are covered with the finest fabrics, but only the surface layer is made of good cotton, while the inner layer is made of inferior cotton.
There are countless things like this...
Ruoli gradually discovered that something was wrong, and complained to Concubine Liu all day long: "Your Majesty, the Concubine is too much! Are you just going to swallow your anger?"
"Your Majesty doesn't like her domineering behavior. Why don't you tell Your Majesty about this?"
Concubine Liang shook her head at her, her face full of gentleness, like a bodhisattva: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, how can I bother him with these trivial matters?"
The most important thing is...she understands His Majesty. The daily political affairs are enough to make His Majesty worry, and the concubines are for the emperor to relax after dealing with state affairs.
If Your Majesty leaves the court, and people still cause so many troubles every day, regardless of the cause and effect, how can Your Majesty be in a good mood?
Even if His Majesty reprimands the Imperial Concubine for this, he will still be dissatisfied with her.
Ruo Li said with pain: "Have you always been bullied by the Imperial Concubine?"
Concubine Liang smiled slightly: "As the saying goes, when the sky is crazy, it will rain, and when people are crazy, there will be disasters. Why should I compete with the imperial concubine for a moment?"
Although Ruoli was not convinced, she didn't dare to say anything.
But there was one thing that Concubine Liang found very strange: "… because of the power of the six palaces and the raising of the third prince, I did have a grudge with the Imperial Concubine. It is normal for the Imperial Concubine to target me."
"But why did the Duke Dingguo Mansion oppose the Zhuang family in every aspect of the court? If it was because of the struggle among the women in the harem, it wouldn't be that serious..."
Concubine Liang always felt that she had overlooked something.
At this time, Xiao Huazi came in from outside and bowed perfunctorily: "Empress Liang, Empress Guifei has something to ask you to go to Yongshou Palace."
"Please go over immediately and don't keep the Imperial Concubine waiting for too long."
Ruoli glared at him in dissatisfaction: "...you!"
How could this eunuch be so rude to Concubine Liang?
"Ruoli."
Concubine Liang shook her head at her and looked at Xiao Huazi, her tone still gentle: "I wonder why the noble concubine asked me to come over?"
Xiao Huazi raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you anything. You will know when you go there."
Ruoli's cheeks puffed up with anger.
A dog fights against human power!
If it weren't for the support of the Imperial Concubine, how could a eunuch dare to be so arrogant in front of the Imperial Concubine? !
Concubine Liang was not angry. She looked at Ruoli and said, "Please help me dress up."
"Yes……"
After entering the inner room, Ruoli combed Concubine Liang's hair while saying, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine usually behaves like that. I'm afraid she has no good intentions this time!"
