"yes!"
Xu Shu slowly raised her head. It was a familiar face that the eldest prince had, but those eyes were particularly different.
"You are..." The eldest prince suddenly remembered, and suddenly remembered that the name "Xu Shu" could not be seen, so he swallowed the name that was about to say.
Xu Shu lowered her head again, and Madam Yuan had already gotten up and knelt down, "The eldest prince forgives the crime, the eldest prince forgives the crime..."
Recognizing the person in front of him, the eldest prince couldn't help but rub his hands again, and his attitude turned a big turn, "Forget it! Miss Zheng Jiu didn't mean it! I just don't care about villains, so I'll spare her this time! Why are you kneeling on your knees? Get up!"
"Thank you, the eldest prince!" Madam Yuan kowtowed and thanked, "The eldest prince also wants to cut branches for the Empress Dowager. I will not disturb the eldest prince! Miss Jiu, let's go!"
"Wait!" The eldest prince called Xu Shu, "Miss Zheng Jiu... isn't it?"
Xu Shufu nodded, "Yes!"
"Miss Zheng Jiu came to the palace today to attend the moon-watching banquet?"
"Yes!" Xu Shu answered yes again. But after answering, she raised her head and looked at the eldest prince timidly.
At this glance, the eldest prince rubbed his hands more and more impatiently, and wanted to ask Xu Shu, but seeing that Madam Yuan followed Xu Shu in an endless step, she was about to take the person away, so she was afraid it would be difficult to speak, so she said to Madam Fang, "You, go and bring the pot of chrysanthemums over there to the prince!"
"Ah?" Madam Yuan was surprised. Seeing that the eldest prince was about to get angry when she stared at her, she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I will go now!"
Madam Yuan went to move the flowerpot. The eldest prince took the opportunity to lower his voice and asked Xu Shu, "Are you Xu Shu?"
Xu Shu nodded almost invisible.
The eldest prince was overjoyed and didn't bother to ask so much, and kept saying, "It's you! It's you!"
Xu Shu whispered, "Thank you for your concern for the eldest prince. Although the young lady fell into the hands of the Empress, she did not say half of the words that were not good for the eldest prince. The Empress did not know about coming to Yigong!"
"So what if I know? I'm afraid she will succeed!" The eldest prince hummed and dissatisfied.
"Now the Empress is pregnant, even the Empress Dowager is afraid of it. The eldest prince, you are the pride of heaven, so you are naturally not afraid. Even if the Empress gives birth to a prince, you are still the eldest son of the emperor and have a unique status!"
Unique...but not the only one...and he is just the eldest son, just the eldest son of a concubine, how can he be as precious as the legitimate prince?
The eldest prince clenched his fists in anger, "Birth of a prince? Haha! Is the prince born from the legitimate one?"
Over the years, even if the eldest prince is not good, he understands that as the only prince of the emperor, he has not been appointed as the crown prince for a long time. Isn’t it just waiting for another prince who is born? Just because he is a concubine and because the queen is pregnant, should he be despised?
Xu Shu nodded, "The Empress is the emperor's first wife. The Empress was enthroned on the day the emperor ascended the throne. Of course, the prince born to the Empress is the legitimate prince, and it is more noble than the prince born to other concubines!"
"Be more noble? Are you saying that this prince is not noble enough?"
The eldest prince has a weak temper, and Xu Shu hurriedly apologized, "I dare not. You are the emperor's eldest son and the only prince of the emperor for so many years, so you are naturally noble!"
"It's also noble, but it's still not as noble as the legitimate prince, right?" The eldest prince sneered, obviously hearing what Xu Shu said.
Xu Shu lowered her head and did not deny it, which means she was the default.
The eldest prince snorted, "No need to say that I know this too! Since the queen is pregnant, my treatment has been declining day by day. Although the emperor's grandmother still treats me like before, I can see that the emperor's grandmother is also looking forward to the queen's belly! If the queen gives birth to a legitimate prince, my eldest son will not be much more noble!"
"The eldest prince is at ease. The queen gave birth to a princess in her previous child. This time, she may also be a princess!" Xu Shu said comfortingly.
"Maybe? Or maybe it's a prince?" The eldest prince was very irritated when he thought that the queen might give birth to a prince that threatened his status.
Just as he was about to say something to Xu Shu, Xu Shu took a step back without a trace, "Big Prince, now the folk girl is no longer the same folk girl he used to be. Just now, I am grateful to the eldest prince for taking in that day. If the Queen knows that the folk girl is too close to you, the Queen will be unhappy!"
"She is unhappy? Is this prince still unhappy! Why? Now that I have the queen as my backer, do you disdain for me?"
Xu Shu shook her head repeatedly, "The young lady dares not, but the young lady is now by the queen, and the queen is a little disagreeing with the eldest prince again... The young lady can no longer implicate the eldest prince!"
The eldest prince then remembered and asked Xu Shu how she had been in the hands of the Queen since Yi Palace, "Why did you get into the hands of the Queen?"
"Minister girl..." Xu Shu's voice became even lower, "When the Miracle Liang entered the palace that day, Miracle Liang somehow exposed her feet and was discovered by the Queen. So when the eldest prince, you are not here, you came to Yi Palace to take the Miracle Wang away... In fact..." Xu Shu stopped talking.
The eldest prince said curiously, "What actually?"
"Actually...in fact...the Queen has known for a long time that you are gambling in the palace, but she only took away the Queen's Queen, but she did not ask about it. She just kept the Queen's daughter strictly in charge, as if she had some plans to come. After these days of observation, the Queen's daughter thought that the Queen was planning to expose the matter after she gave birth to a prince and then lose her holy heart, so that the prince born to the Queen is the only qualified..."
"I think beautiful!" The eldest prince said angrily, his voice a little loud, which attracted people on the side to look at each other. The eldest prince lowered his voice after realizing it, "She can't imagine..." She can't give birth to a prince...
Madam Yuan finally moved the flower pot over panting, "Big Prince, the flowers you want!"
The eldest prince seemed to be in no mood to care about Xu Shu anymore. His mind was full of the queen's plan that Xu Shu had just told him. Besides, moving flowers was just an excuse for him to save Madam Yuan. He didn't care about the pot of flowers. He said to Xu Shu casually, "I'll give it to you!" Then he took Wu Yang and Wu Yang and a group of people away.
After the person left, Madam Yuan asked, "Is it done?"
Xu Shu shook her head, "Not sure!" She had already lit the fire, and it was not something she could decide whether she could burn it or not.
The eldest prince was moody and irritable, but the anger came quickly and went quickly. She was not sure how long the hatred of the eldest prince she had just provoked against the queen could last.
"What should I do?" asked Madam Yuan.
