C320 The crown prince is present in this court (2/2)
Rong'er turned around and saw that it was the Imperial Concubine Wen that had entered the buddhist hall.
”Your concubine greets Imperial Concubine your highness.” Rong'er hurriedly stood up and bowed.
”Imperial Concubine Rong, what did you mean by that? What kind of trouble did the imperial harem have? ” Imperial Concubine Wen looked at Rong'er and asked coldly.
”This …” Rong'er hesitated, not knowing whether or not this matter should be said, but thinking about it without any proof, why make Imperial Concubine Wen angry? He lightly shook his head, ”Nothing much, just that chenqie hopes that the palace will be at peace.”
The Imperial Concubine Wen nodded, he did not have the intention to ask too many questions, and took the incense from the palace maid, preparing to offer it to the Buddha.
Seeing this, Rong'er softly said, ”Chenqie has already passed. I'll take my leave first.”
Imperial Concubine Wen slightly nodded his head and did not say another word. Seeing this, Rong'er left the buddhist hall.
The Imperial Concubine Wen's personal palace maid brought the incense for the Imperial Concubine Wen and faced the Buddha while softly muttering, ”Although Ze Ying has missed it, she has changed it with all her heart. However, she has had nightmares for so long that it is hard for her to find peace, so I hope that the Buddha can give Ze Ying a way out. The sun is rising, and my heart is on the Buddha! ”
After exiting the buddhist hall, Xiao Qing couldn't help but start chatting with Rong'er, ”Master, you said that Imperial Concubine Wen didn't believe in buddhism that much in the past, but today, you heard that … Every day, she would go to the buddhist hall to burn some incense.
”Xiao Qing, why are you blabbering about these words? Buddhist comprehension is often an epiphany, and in one night, will cause one to wholeheartedly worship the Buddha. It is not strange for Imperial Concubine Wen to do this.” Rong'er said softly.
”Mistress, this servant has spoken too much. Are we going back to the palace?” Xiao Qing hurriedly replied.
”En, let's go to the Yu Qing Palace. The child of the Crown Prince, Li Jiayin, is about to be born, but in a few days, the Crown Prince will officially bestow the title of the prince's wife upon Guar Jiajia. She will definitely be unhappy, so I will go and console her.” Rong'er instructed softly.
”Mistress, the crown prince is the sole Crown Prince, Li Jiaxing. Everyone believes that Li Jiayi will eventually be conferred the title of Crown Prince's Wife, but why is the emperor giving the title of Crown Prince to Guar Jiajia?” Xiao Qing asked, puzzled.
”The Emperor has his own plans, right?” Rong'er sighed lightly as she thought about the unhappy events that had transpired recently.
Back then, the crown prince was fond of the zither master Wang Jiami, and the empress arranged the marriage for him and included him in the two prince's consort s, among them was Li Jiaxin, who was beautiful, humble, and deeply doted on by the crown prince, but the emperor had always wanted her to be his Crown Prince's Wife, but the emperor had never allowed it. This year, after their trip to the North, in order to pacify General Fu Prefecture, Lieutenant Shi Wen Bing, and to make his daughter the crown prince's Crown Prince's Wife, Yin Reng did not want to argue with the emperor, so even though Rong'er had to mediate and scold him, he could still feel the unhappiness in Yin Reng's heart.
Sometimes, Rong'er also didn't understand why the emperor would treat Yin Reng in such a manner. He was strict with him, and everything was according to his wishes. Sometimes, it could be said that the emperor didn't care about Yin Reng, but he would send all the good stuff in the palace to the crown prince. The palace continuously raised the crown prince's etiquette; however, the emperor often doted on the crown prince and wouldn't let him get what he wanted.
According to the royal doctors, the beginning of next month was the day the child would be born. But these days, the crown prince's wedding ceremony was being prepared, it was an extremely cruel thing for Li Jiayi.
The palanquin was already facing the crown prince. After the palace left, Rong'er let out a light sigh. In fact, Duan Jing marrying to the north was the Emperor's goal, but for the Crown Prince to bring in his concubines, wasn't that the way the Emperor gathered his subjects? The Emperor was no longer a reckless youth like when he was a teenager, he had his own plans for every step of the way.
