Chapter 435 Entering the Palace
Princess Wei's Mansion.
"Prepare the carriage. This princess needs to go to the palace." The eldest princess Qin Ronglu wore a moon-white long skirt embroidered with silver thread patterns, a light blue ribbon around her waist, and a white deerskin cloak. Although it was not bright in color, it could not conceal her noble air.
"Yes, Your Highness."
As soon as she entered the palace, the eldest princess Qin Ronglu went straight to the Pepper Palace, but did not see the Queen Shen Ningyue. She hurriedly bowed outside the door and rushed to the Luanyi Palace.
"Where is the concubine?"
Without waiting for the palace servants to inform him, Qin Ronglu stepped over the threshold, her feet making the wind as she passed by, her skirt swaying like clear water.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the Queen is not in the palace!"
"Where is my mother?" Qin Ronglu paused and turned around.
Staring at the eunuch's sweaty forehead, she said softly, "Well, go and ask the Seventh Princess to come over."
The seventh princess, Qin Rongyao, her troublesome younger sister.
"Your Highness, your servant, your servant..." the eunuch stammered.
"Did the Seventh Princess go to the Suzaku Palace to show her courtesy again?" Qin Ronglu was filled with anger and his face suddenly darkened.
Among all the empresses, brothers and sisters in the palace, the ones she hated the most were Concubine Hui Meng Xinghe of the Suzaku Palace and the fourth prince Qin Mingyun, and she was also disgusted with the eighth princess Qin Lingwei.
If she wasn't Concubine Hui's biological mother, her mother wouldn't have given birth prematurely. If her mother hadn't given birth prematurely, how could her older brother, Prince Zhaohui Qin Mingheng, have died so early?
Twenty years have passed. Does anyone still remember the eldest son of Concubine Yi in the palace?
The seventh brother was fine, so why did he become so rebellious when it came to his own sister? Why couldn't he love what she and the mother loved, and hate what she and the mother hated, and be in step with her and the mother and share the same hatred against the enemy?
She calls me "Auntie" all the time, and her voice is so sweet that it's annoying to listen to.
"If I didn't know, I would have thought that Concubine Hui gave birth to twins and my mother raised one for her." Qin Ronglu snorted lightly, the anger between his brows obvious.
"Your Highness, you are here."
Qinghe hurried forward and bowed slightly, "Meet Her Royal Highness Princess Wei, may Your Highness be blessed with good health."
"Aunt Qinghe, where is my mother?"
"Empress Yi has gone to Hanzhang Palace. Judging from the time, she will be back soon." Qinghe led the eldest princess Qin Ronglu into the palace, took her cloak, and ordered the palace servants to prepare tea, and asked about her well-being.
"Speaking of which, why did mother go to Hanzhang Palace again? It would be fine if she went there once, but why did she go there every day? We are not close friends, and mother is not the kind of person who likes to watch the fun. So, is Concubine Yu really upset, or is she just pretending? Did the Queen go there?"
"Princess, what you said is true. The ladies are all His Majesty's wives and concubines. We will live together for the rest of our lives. Your Majesty, please go and talk to Concubine Yu, give her some advice, and help her relieve her depression. This will just show how kind and tolerant our lady is."
Qinghe took the tea offered by the palace maid, picked up a cup and handed it to Qin Ronglu.
"Her Majesty went with Consort Hui, Consort Min, Consort Xian, Consort Zhen, and Consort Shu. Her Majesty is a noble concubine, and unlike the Empress, she is not pregnant. She was worried that it would upset Consort Yu, so she couldn't be absent."
The palace maid served tea and was then sent away by Qinghe.
"Oh, right, it was Concubine Shu Gui who asked several other ladies to go to Hanzhang Palace every day. As you know, Concubine Shu Gui has always been considerate and generous. She is nice to everyone. She only has one princess, so all the ladies in the palace are happy to interact with her."
"Although the Empress did not leave, she instructed the Third Princess of Shu to come to the palace every day to accompany Concubine Yu."
"I really can't get over it, I can't get over it... I heard that when the ladies went there on the first day, they were so angry that Concubine Yu fainted with their words, and they drove the Third Prince and his wife out of Hanzhang Palace.
Later, His Majesty came and the ladies were reprimanded by His Majesty. They were then ordered to coax Concubine Yu into good shape.
Qin Ronglu listened and asked in doubt, "Why is Shunpin not there? Shunpin has always been honest and cautious, and she is not pregnant."
"I heard that Shunpin has been in poor health recently and can't get up." Qinghe frowned. "Normally, Shunpin is in the best health. She goes to the Pepper Room to pay respects to the Queen every day, rain or shine, and has never felt any discomfort. She suddenly fell ill, and she is so seriously ill. I find it very strange."
After Qin Ronglu drank two cups of tea, Concubine Yi Meng Wuyue finally returned to Luanyi Palace.
"Mother, why are you so late? I have something to report to you." Qin Ronglu came forward, hugged Concubine Yi's arm, and said coquettishly.
"What's the matter?" Concubine Yi gently tapped Qin Ronglu's forehead and said softly.
"The prince consort discovered that the imperial physician Yu who was robbed and killed might have been intercepted and killed. The second princess's guards had left the capital on that day under the pretext of hunting." Qin Ronglu leaned close to Concubine Yi's ear and whispered, his voice full of excitement.
