Pick up a princess

Chapter 42
Royal Palace.

Autumn is getting deeper, and the magnificent pavilions and palaces stand tall, and they are more gloomy and chilling in the rustling autumn wind.At lunch time, the maids and eunuchs shuttled through the harem carrying all kinds of exquisite dishes.

"Is there any movement at the prince's place?" In the bedroom filled with warmth, a pair of wooden chopsticks were put down by the bowl by slender hands.Seeing this, the maid at the side quickly served a cup of tea.

"Go back to your empress, there seems to be no movement from the prince's side, but the emperor just..." Opposite the owner of the jade hand, a man in a dark blue long gown sat with a slightly hesitant expression.

"How about the emperor?"

"The emperor refuted several ministers who asked the prince to take up the position of supervisor of the official department, and he also scolded those ministers bloody. The whole court is discussing this matter. It seems that the emperor is getting more and more dissatisfied with the current prince... ..."

"Well, don't take it lightly, the crown prince has deep thoughts and is difficult to deal with..." The woman in brocade clothes nodded slightly, holding a teacup and asked thoughtfully: "Is there still a vacancy for the supervisory position of the Ministry of Officials?"

"It has been vacant for a long time, but yesterday, the emperor ordered the fifth prince to supervise the official department!"

The beautiful woman paused her hand that was about to pick up the teacup, a pair of beautiful eyes suddenly shone coldly, and even her voice became stern. "Give it to the fifth prince? How could the emperor value him?"

"Holy will is unpredictable..." The man in blue sighed and shook his head, then bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the power of the Prince's party is now stable, so let's not act rashly..."

"You're right..." The beautiful woman's eyes were no longer as sharp as before, and an unknown sneer gradually appeared on the corners of her lips. "It's cheaper than Qing Ming's bastard prince, let him be proud for a few days! Don't forget my order, when it's time to act, you must not be soft-hearted!"

"Yes..." The man nodded respectfully, and was about to leave when he heard a eunuch preaching outside the palace: "The emperor feels that Concubine Gong has been sincerely praying for blessings in the palace, lifting the palace ban, and bestowing Jiangnan dishes..."

The eyes of the beautiful woman called Concubine Gong were tinged with joy, and she quickly straightened her face and said loudly to the eunuch who was passing the imperial meal outside the palace: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness——"

When the steaming Jiangnan side dishes were served, the bedroom, which was originally somewhat chilling, was enveloped in a dark joy. Concubine Gong and the man looked at each other, and understood what the other was thinking, without changing expressions, but It was hard to stop the smiles on the faces of the maids and eunuchs who were serving.

In this harem, who doesn't want their master to gain power?

"It seems that the emperor has dispelled his doubts about you, empress..." The man lowered his voice and said slowly. As soon as he finished speaking, the two people in the bedroom heard cheerful and slightly immature calls one after another.

"Mother concubine, mother concubine... My son just heard that the palace ban has been lifted, so I hurried to see you..." The young and handsome prince who came in was dressed in casual clothes, but he couldn't stop the vigorous vigor. Write with a smile on your face.

"You step back..." Concubine Gong waved her hands, and turned her gaze to her son, unable to conceal her love.The mother is kind and the son is filial, coupled with the imperial meal bestowed by the emperor, the bedroom is filled with warmth.

Outside the palace, the autumn wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the sky that was clear just now was suddenly covered with dark clouds.
