Chapter 139: Interlocking, Unable to Escape the Scheme
Dong Ling turned around and rolled her eyes at Xu Yan'er, "Aunt Xu, you are really diligent. Why? Are you the one who empties all the chamber pots in the palace?"
"You!" Xu Yan'er was so angry that her face turned blue, but she couldn't refute.
"What are you talking about? Why don't you bow to the Madam when you see her?" Dong Ling said again.
Xu Yan'er suppressed her anger and bowed to Ji Chuhe, "My concubine greets the Madam."
"Oh, why is it so lively?" Concubine Gao's voice suddenly sounded. She walked straight to the front of the few people and her eyes fell on Dong Ling.
"Madam Dong is so arrogant that she even dares to scold Madam Xu. Is she thinking of climbing over Madam Xu's head just because she served the prince for a night?"
"I have absolutely no such intention." Dong Ling responded immediately.
"You have no such intention? I think you are showing off your power as the Crown Prince's wife!" Concubine Gao shouted sternly.
Dong Ling was about to kneel down, but Ji Chuhe raised her hand to stop her and held her hand tightly.
"Concubine Gao, you are too polite." Ji Chuhe continued, looking at Concubine Gao calmly.
"Madam, I am teaching her a lesson for you, lest she gets too high and climbs over your head!"
"Please don't bother Concubine Gao with my people." Ji Chuhe blocked her and sent Dong Ling away. "Dong Ling, go to Nanny Si and see how the dishes are prepared."
"Yes." Dong Ling immediately retreated.
Concubine Gao looked at Dong Ling's back, her eyes seemed to be filled with poison!
This little bitch has done a lot for Ji Chuhe in Yunze Mountain!
If she couldn't touch Ji Chuhe, could she not touch a little concubine?
"He'er, what are you talking about?" The princess' voice came from not far away.
Ji Chuhe turned around and found Prince Huaiyang and the Princess coming together.
"Greetings, Father, Mother." She immediately knelt down and saluted.
When Concubine Gao saw Prince Huaiyang, she was panicked for a moment and hurriedly bowed, "I greet the prince and princess."
"No need to be so polite. What are you standing outside for? Come in." The princess said to the few people.
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
After entering the palace, Concubine Gao discovered one thing. Except for Xiao Yanan and Xiao Jincheng, the rest of the young masters and young ladies did not show up at the family dinner. However, all the concubines in each room came.
It seems that what we are going to discuss is not suitable for children to be present.
She was not sure what the princess and the prince had said.
After the prince returned home, she couldn't even see him!
After everyone was seated, the prince did not say anything and ordered the banquet to begin directly.
Concubine Xu, who was sitting in the upper seat, glanced at everyone one by one. Even though she didn't know what had happened specifically, she could feel that a storm was about to come.
Just as she thought, there was a good show today.
Ji Chuhe lowered his head and drank the soup.
Dong Ling, who was sitting behind her, suddenly retched.
This sound was particularly abrupt in the silent hall.
Dong Ling quickly covered her mouth and explained in a low voice, "I ate in a hurry just now."
Xu Yan'er looked at Dong Ling with disdain and whispered sarcastically, "You are not worthy of the table. You have never eaten these delicious things in your life, right?"
Dong Ling glanced at Xu Yan'er and didn't respond.
Concubine Gao looked at Ji Chuhe from time to time, but Ji Chuhe never spoke.
She remained silent.
Let’s see who can outlast whom!
After the meal, the servants cleared away the dishes. The prince and princess sat upright in their seats, and no one dared to move.
"Concubine Gao, are you planning to take a concubine for Cheng'er? Have you set the date?" The voice of Prince Huaiyang suddenly sounded.
Concubine Gao never expected that the prince would speak directly!
"Your Highness, please listen to my explanation. There is some misunderstanding about this matter." Concubine Gao responded immediately.
"What misunderstanding?"
Concubine Gao hesitated, not knowing how to start.
She secretly looked at Prince Huaiyang, trying to guess some emotions from his expression.
"Your Highness, you are Cheng'er's father. I cannot make the decision on his taking a concubine. I have to listen to your opinion." Concubine Gao made up her mind and went for it!
This was also a test for her.
Test the position of her son in the prince's heart and how much inside information the prince knows about this matter.
Xiao Jincheng also raised his head and looked at Prince Huaiyang, with earnest hope in his eyes.
"He knows what he did in Yunze Mountain! Since he dared to do it, he must dare to take responsibility." Prince Huaiyang made his attitude clear.
Concubine Gao was slightly startled.
What the prince knew was actually the same as what was spread outside?
Didn’t the princess and Ji Chuhe say anything in front of the prince?
This caught her off guard!
"Your Highness, there is still room for maneuver in this matter. It is not necessary to take Ming'er as a concubine. If Cheng'er takes a concubine before he gets married, it will affect his marriage proposal."
"Now that you know this kind of thing will affect his marriage proposal, how did you educate him?"
"Your Majesty, I know that I have an unshirkable responsibility, but Ming'er is obviously a person with evil intentions. I heard that she also had an entanglement with the prince, and then she got involved with Cheng'er. This kind of woman is fickle. Even if Cheng'er is a bastard, he is still the second son of the prince's mansion. How can Ming'er be worthy of entering the palace?" Concubine Gao continued to quibble.
"Concubine Gao, I have spent a few days with Ming'er and have some understanding of her." Ji Chuhe continued.
Since Concubine Gao wanted to avoid the issue, she would set things right.
"Ms. Ming'er grew up in Qinglian Temple and has only left Qinglian Temple twice. She is a simple girl who knows almost nothing about this world! Qinglian Temple once took in refugees during the disaster years. The prince took extra care of Ming'er for the sake of Qinglian Temple. As soon as I arrived at Yunze Mountain, the prince immediately explained the situation to me. After that, he has maintained a relationship with Ming'er and Ming'er has always been by my side. The people of Yunze Mountain have witnessed this."
"As for the rumors about the prince and Miss Ming'er that Concubine Gao told, it was just a misunderstanding. Besides, the misunderstanding has been resolved. If you don't believe it, Concubine Gao can just find a commoner who farms in Yunze Mountain. They will definitely tell Concubine the real situation at that time. As for the matter between Ming'er and the second young master, everyone has seen it, and there is no room for any sophistry."
Concubine Gao was so angry that her chest ached, and her voice became anxious. "Madam, where is Master Huijing? Why did Master Huijing disappear after the prince sent someone to treat her? Did you use Master Huijing to force Ming'er to seduce the second young master? You clearly said that you sent Ming'er to Qinglian Temple, so why did this Ming'er appear in a farmer's house in the town?"
The prince's face suddenly darkened.
"Master Huijing is not in Qinglian Temple?" Ji Chuhe was surprised. "I sent Ming'er back to Qinglian Temple, but who knew that she would end up with the Second Young Master? Everyone in Yunze Mountain can see that Ming'er seems to have been wronged, but when I asked her carefully, she said that she and the Second Young Master were in love. I was worried that she was coerced!"
This one sentence is very effective.
Concubine Gao was speechless!
What a sharp-tongued Ji Chuhe!
"Xiao Jincheng, what is your attitude?" The prince looked at Xiao Jincheng.
Xiao Jincheng's heart tightened immediately, and he quickly stood up and knelt, "Father, your son... is willing to take responsibility."
Concubine Gao was so angry that she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Prince Huaiyang was just about to speak when Concubine Gao suddenly stood up!
