Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 443: Turbulence

"Your Majesty, Xiaojiu is still a minor, but Your Majesty thinks highly of him. I am very worried that he has not yet met Your Majesty's expectations and has lost his composure under such heavy pressure."

Shen Ningyue held Qin Zhi's hand and walked slowly on the winding path. The fragrance of osmanthus was rich and floated around them.

"Are you here to sound me out on his behalf?" Qin Zhi stopped and looked down at her.

There's no point in asking for the answer.

You have to make your own decision on how to decide and how to make choices.

At most he would scold her a few times. It didn't matter how the case turned out. The appointment of the crown prince had been decided, and the Imperial Observatory had chosen the date. He had no intention of changing it.

Shen Ningyue raised her head and looked at Qin Zhi with a smile: "Your Majesty, is it not possible?"

"No."

Qin Zhi nodded pretending to be serious.

"As a mother, I have thought about helping Xiaojiu cheat... Well, my children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."

Shen Ningyue looked at Qin Zhi and smiled faintly, then sighed softly.

Qing Zhang accused the eldest prince of poisoning his adoptive mother and her adopted brother, but the evidence could not determine whether the eldest prince's act was an accident due to negligence or was intentional.

Although Shunpin and the twelfth prince suffered, they were able to recover and are not seriously injured.

In this way, the eldest prince's reputation was tarnished and he was forced to leave the court without being imprisoned or demoted to a commoner.

Over in Hanzhang Palace, Concubine Shu Guipin took the lead and worked together with the mothers and concubines of the other princes to weave a net for the Third Prince to kill his adoptive mother and his offspring, and they did so in an intensive and pressing manner.

With their support, lobbying, consolation, or instigation, Concubine Yu seemed to have firmly believed that the Third Prince had harmed him.

The two adopted mother-child pairs in the palace had problems. Who would dare to raise a child without a mother in the future? But these were all minor matters.

How to suppress the adverse effects of the two cases while making the most fair judgment possible is something Xiaojiu cannot ignore when handling his case.

As the queen and the mother of the ninth prince, what she had to consider was that the concubines in the harem who had children were so united in taking advantage of the misfortune of a prince who was neither the legitimate nor the eldest. On the surface, they were just trying to pull the plug, but their hidden ambitions could not be ignored.

Shen Ningyue's hands were covering her lower abdomen. Xiaojiu was about to grow up and become the crown prince. The birth of the boy and phoenix twins in her belly would not only not hinder Xiaojiu's position as the crown prince, but would consolidate the status of her children in the Pepper Palace.

"Your Majesty, I want to help Xiaoji find a husband. Do you have any recommendations? As long as he has a clean family background, good character, and a decent appearance... and is about the same age as Xiaoji, that's fine."

"What? Xiaoji doesn't want to accompany you?" Qin Zhi said with a smile.

"What is your majesty talking about?" Shen Ningyue gently pushed Qin Zhi's chest.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you and find her a good husband to marry her to. She can be a lady or a lord in the future." Qin Zhi held Shen Ningyue's hand and led her to continue walking.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince has been taken to the prison of Zongzheng Temple, is that right..."

Danzhu raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Shu Guipin Bai Liangyu who was looking at herself in the mirror, slowly arranging the pearls and jade on the dressing table with her hands.

"Wait a little longer. Wait until the matter of the eldest prince has fermented naturally, and then spread the matter of the third prince."

Bai Liangyu was fiddling with the hairpin in her hair in front of the mirror, with a faint, almost playful curve at the corner of her mouth.

"What about Concubine Yu..." Danzhu's eyebrows drooped, with a hint of melancholy in his brows.

"Danzhu, do you feel sorry for her? I don't want to either." Bai Liangyu sighed softly.

"If the Third Prince can turn things around, this palace and the Tenth Princess will not have a good ending."

If you hit someone with a blow, he won't have a chance to get back up, otherwise he will live in fear for the rest of his life.
