Empress Fenghua

Chapter 222
Madam Si was sitting in the main hall of the Prince's Mansion, drinking tea with a smile on her face, feeling extremely happy.But Wanrong Chenghui, who was standing by the side, was not so happy, the smile hanging on the corner of her mouth was already stiff, and fine beads of sweat emerged from her palms.

"I haven't been to the prince's mansion for a long time. The last time I came was the year before last when the prince was in poor health. Now three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and His Royal Highness already has several wives and concubines, and Wanrong Chenghui seems to be It hasn't changed at all, but it's more dignified and beautiful than before!" Madam Si raised her eyebrows and smiled with a bit of coquettishness.

Wanrong bowed and said, "Madam Si is just joking! How can Wanrong compare to Madam Si who is as beautiful as Madam Si? Now everyone knows that Madam Si was a great beauty when she was young, but now she is the mother of King Heng, but only Adds a dignified, grown-up touch without taking away from the charm!"

Mrs. Si sighed, "It's as beautiful as a flower, like the years like water. No matter how beautiful you are when you are young, it can't be compared to the rush of time!" With a smile, "Look at Bengong, really! Why am I sighing in front of you, what a joke!"

"What's the matter Madam Si!" Wan Rong hurriedly responded, "Madam Si is a noble person in the imperial court, and being able to visit the Prince's Mansion in person will also make the Prince's Mansion flourish! It's just that His Royal Highness is sick and cannot contact Madam Si. Forgive me, ma'am!"

Mrs. Si smiled charmingly, "Wanrong Chenghui is being polite, but this time I came here to check on the illness of the Crown Princess! Today, I said that she is also the concubine of the Crown Princess. How could she not come? What's more, the Crown Princess left her hometown Marrying into Ling Kingdom, how can our sisters in the palace ignore it?"

"But..." Wanrong frowned. It would be fine if she was a concubine of Jingxin, but Mrs. Si is famous for her eloquent tongue, not to mention her different status, and she is quite favored by the emperor...

"Why is Wanrong Chenghui so condescending? Could it be that this palace has said all the things for this, and the crown princess is disgusted?" Mrs. Si's face was cold, and she lowered her face. The palace has repeatedly asked Concubine Jingxin to greet the Crown Princess on my behalf, and it's fine if Wanrong Chenghui refuses to let her see you, but I have come here in person, so why do you still have to push back?"

"Wanrong didn't mean that..." Wanrong Chenghui frowned, but didn't know what to say.

Madam Si smiled like a flower, "It doesn't mean that, or I think too much, oops! I've always been like this recently, don't forget Wanrong Chenghui!"

This woman can turn her face faster than a book!
"How could it be!" Wanrong Chenghui raised the corners of her lips.

"It just so happens that today is His Highness the Crown Prince's birthday. Although His Highness the Crown Prince is not at the residence, we must not lose our courtesy!" Mrs. Si waved her hand, "Yu Rong!"

Yu Rong bowed, and handed the brocade box in her hand to Wanrong respectfully, "Wanrong Chenghui, this is a birthday gift from Madam Si to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but it took Madam Si a long time to choose it, and it took a lot of time." A lot of thought!"

"Presumptuous!" Madam Si angrily reprimanded, "Still not backing down!"

Yu Rong hastily retreated behind Madam Si in aggrieved manner.

Mrs. Si smiled enchantingly, "This servant is ignorant, making Wanrong Chenghui laugh at me. It is my honor to present His Highness the Crown Prince with a birthday gift! What's more, today is the first time I see the Crown Princess, so how can I be rude? You say Isn't that right, Cheng Hui?"

"The empress is here..."

Empress Zhuo walked into the Prince's Mansion quickly, Madam Si and others hurried forward to salute, Wan Rong also heaved a sigh of relief, with a relieved smile on her face, "I have seen the empress!"

"Exemption!" Empress Zhuo sat on the seat of Mrs. Si just now, with a graceful smile on her face, "The Prince's Mansion is so lively today! Wanrong, the Crown Princess is still ill, why are you so noisy? It makes people think that the people in the Prince's Mansion don't understand the rules!"

Wan Rong hurriedly bowed her body, "It's my concubine's negligence!"

Madam Si smiled and sat aside, "Sister Empress, don't blame Cheng Hui, it's the concubine who wants to visit the Crown Princess, not to mention that today is also the Crown Prince's birthday!"

"It's hard for Mrs. Si to remember! It's just that the prince is not at the house. You are so tired after traveling all the way. Why don't you just ask the servants to bring this gift! What's more, even if you don't give it, Wu Yan will I know your intentions as a concubine!" Empress Zhuo waved at Wanrong, "Come here and ask me to ask Mrs. Si to give me some good gifts!"

Empress Zhuo fiddled with the brocade box with her armored fingers, and exchanged glances with Wanrong.As soon as the two of them opened and hid, the exquisite brocade box fell to the ground, and the Songzi Guanyin inside fell to the ground with a slap, smashing to pieces...

"Oh!" Wanrong looked at the fragments on the ground in feigned surprise, her face flushed, "What should I do? It's all about Wanrong's fault, Madam Si please forgive me!"

Empress Zhuo smiled awkwardly, "I accidentally broke it. It's a pity that Mrs. Si's love is in vain. Sister, I'm so sorry!"

Madam Si's face was red and white, but she pretended to be generous with a smile, "What did my sister say? The Crown Princess will recover soon, and she will spread the word for the royal family!" Madam Si frowned, and glanced worriedly at Empress Zhuo, "I don't know if this is a good omen, but it's really worrying!"

Empress Zhuo pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister, don't worry, as the saying goes, every year is safe! But I'm afraid we are too noisy here, the princess is still ill, I will tell my sister's thoughts with Wanrong, it's getting late, Your Majesty Still waiting for my sister to accompany me!"

Mrs. Si's eyebrows were sharp and her eyes were full of cunning, "Don't worry! The emperor is probably tired of looking at the old face of his concubines every day. He should give the young concubines some opportunities to make the heirs more prosperous. Today's concubines I came here specially to see the Crown Princess, and I also asked the queen sister to give me a thin noodle!"

"I have said it before, and I will pass it on..."

"Sister!" Madam Si interrupted the Empress, "Elder Sister Empress thinks that concubines are not worthy to see the Crown Princess, or there may be something hidden behind the Crown Princess' illness!"

Empress Zhuo was startled, "What does my sister mean by this? What is another secret? Could it be that the Crown Princess deliberately deceived everyone?"

Madam Si sneered, "I didn't think so, but it's inevitable that people are always suspicious now, not to mention that there have been rumors that the Crown Princess appeared in Suiye City. Doesn't the empress want to confirm it?"

"You!" Empress Zhuo was about to accuse Madam Si when she heard Emperor Ling step into the room and said in a majestic voice, "Madam Si is right!"

"Your Majesty!" Empress Zhuo saluted quickly and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you notify me when the Emperor came? The concubine was startled."

"I'm afraid that I'll disturb the concubine's illness!" Emperor Ling glanced at Empress Zhuo and Mrs. Si with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, "The concubine has also been ill for a long time, I should have come to see her a long time ago, after all The Crown Princess has a high status and has come from a long way, so she must be missing her hometown to get sick. If no one pays attention, it will make her feel even more chilling!"

Empress Zhuo forced a smile, "It's really a blessing for the Crown Princess to think about the Crown Princess so much! It's just that the Emperor is busy with the affairs of the day, so he can let his concubines do the work for him. Why do you have to go there in person? If the Crown Princess knows that the Emperor is here in person, I'm afraid it will take another toss..."

"Sister!" Mrs. Si smiled, adding fuel to the flames, "The emperor will come in person to show the sincerity of our Mausoleum and the preciousness of the Crown Princess! Let's quietly take a look at the Crown Princess, how can we disturb the Crown Princess? I'm afraid the Crown Princess Knowing that the emperor loves her so much, it warms my heart, and the illness will be cured faster!"

Emperor Ling smiled slightly, "My concubine is right! She is speechless and sensible. The princess is also a dignified and virtuous person who understands righteousness, so I don't have to worry about unknown future emperors and empresses!" Emperor Ling laughed, and then slowly restrained his smile. "It's just Yuheng—it's really a bit out of control! I don't know where he has gone these days!"

Emperor Ling stood up and walked to Mrs. Si, "I still need to discipline my concubine properly!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Madam Si bowed forward.

"Go and take me to see the Crown Princess!" Emperor Ling glanced at Wanrong with a cold look.

Wanrong's heart trembled, her scalp went numb, her legs bent weakly, "Yes!"

Empress Zhuo's face was pale, and her hands in her wide sleeves were tightly clenched into fists...
