Chapter 978 The Queen shows affection

"I really don't understand what the Third Prince Concubine said. Why can't the Third Prince Concubine give it to me? If he does the same thing, it would be imitating others. Then when others eat and drink water, the Third Prince Concubine will be treated as a gift." What, do you want to stay hungry or stay thirsty?" Fan Qingyao asked with a smile.

Guan Pan'er shivered angrily, "You are obviously using strong words to make excuses!"

Fan Qingyao's smile became even more beautiful, "It's just some gadgets. Anyway, Qingnangzhai has a lot of them. If the third prince likes to give them away, I can buy some more."

Guan Pan'er gritted her teeth and said, "Princess, there is no need to scare me. I can still afford some small things."

Fan Qingyao said with a smile, "The third prince and concubine are so supportive of my sister's business. It's not too late for me to thank the third prince and concubine."

 Guan Pan'er, "…"

What's the meaning?

“The third princess doesn’t know, but the head of Qingnangzhai is the princess’ sister,” Han Jingchen reminded.

Hearing this, Guan Pan'er's face turned even uglier. It didn't matter whether she really wanted to buy it or not.

Seeing that Guan Pan'er stopped talking, Fan Qingyao turned his eyes to one side and looked at the surrounding scenery with the others.

Today's cavalry and shooting event was held in an open space in the palace. The places where the masters sat were all temporarily set up. There was one place for the princes and concubines, another place for the ministers, and another place for the other female family members. They were clearly divided.

Not long after, the emperor arrived at the open space accompanied by the queen and his concubines.

While everyone knelt down to pay their respects, the emperor and the queen sat on the main seat, while Concubine Yu sat on the other side slightly behind, and the other concubines were placed on both sides.

 “Sit down.” Emperor Yongchang waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get up.

Fan Qingyao followed everyone back to his seat and looked at the emperor in the distance. Because the distance was too far, he could not clearly see the changes in the emperor's face, but the tired look on the emperor's body was difficult to hide.

On the host's side, Concubine Han Xian's voice never stopped since she sat down, "Your Majesty, for this competition, the Second Prince has been practicing day and night. He just doesn't want to disappoint the Emperor..."

Emperor Yongchang was not very interested. He even frowned slightly and felt it was a bit noisy.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Yu handed over a cup of tea from behind and said, "Your Majesty, please take a sip of tea to quench your thirst."

Emperor Yongchang took the tea cup and hummed indistinguishably.

How could Concubine Han Xian not know that Concubine Yu was secretly mocking her for being too talkative? Even though she was still a little unwilling to do so, she could only keep her mouth shut.

Concubine Liu Shu looked at Concubine Han Xian trying hard to please the emperor, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the Queen. She saw the Queen looking at the empty space with a calm expression, as if she hadn't heard anything. She couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or confusion. eyes.

Of course Empress Zhen Xi was aware of Concubine Liu Shu’s gaze, but so what?

Even a fool like Concubine Han Xian knew that she had to work hard to please Concubine Deyu if she wanted her blessing, but Concubine Liu Shu wanted to pretend to be a good person and get benefits at the same time. How could she get so many benefits prepared for her.

Bai Tu looked at the emperor's forlorn expression, then walked over and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's time to begin."

Emperor Yongchang waved his hand weakly and said in a gentle and gentle voice, "Let's get started."

As the horn blew on the side of the clearing, King Pinglai pushed the wooden cart to the clearing. Even if he was not riding on horseback, King Pinglai was disabled after all. No one would really take this as an excuse. A difficult excuse. In the end, Ten Arrows and Five Crowds were quite satisfactory.

“Reward.” Emperor Yongchang waved his hand meaningfully.

 King Pinglai quickly knelt down to thank him, "My son, I thank my father for the reward."

After King Pinglai went down, the prince walked into the open space. Seeing this, other people around him stared at it with wide eyes. After all, the prince has been in the limelight recently. Since many ministers have stood in line, naturally they are I hope His Royal Highness can perform well.

Fan Qingyao looked at the excitement of the ministers and felt funny in his heart, fearing that he would disappoint them.

Sure enough, out of ten arrows shot by a hundred-mile phoenix, only three were missed.

 This result is not a good result for the prince who is blessed by nature.

Concubine Yu said unhurriedly, "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has been very valued by the emperor recently, so I thought that he would live up to the expectations and put in some effort, but I didn't expect that it would be so unsatisfactory."

When Queen Zhen Xi heard this, she glanced at Concubine Yu from the corner of her eye and said, "Practice martial arts is a small matter. The prince has been in poor health since he was a child. At the beginning, I also said that I should strengthen my martial arts skills, and maybe it can strengthen the prince's health." To keep fit, I didn’t expect that the emperor cared too much for the prince and simply exempted him from martial arts.”

After hearing this, Emperor Yongchang's thoughts wandered a little far.

I still remember that the prince's health was not very good when he was a child, and the queen did tell him that she wanted the prince to practice martial arts diligently to improve his body. But what was his answer at the time?

Oh, he thought about it. At that time, he was more partial to the third prince than he is now. Then he thought about Concubine Yu saying that the newly born seventh prince had caught a weapon by drawing lots, so he simply used it to let the prince take care of himself and cut off the prince's ability to practice martial arts. idea.

Since the queen is not favored anyway, it doesn't matter if the prince is really abandoned. It was not his wish to establish the prince in the first place, but it was just to block the mouth of Youyou in the court.

But now that he heard what the queen said, Emperor Yongchang could only echo, "The prince's body was indeed not suitable for martial arts practice at that time. It's so old that I didn't expect the queen to be able to remember it."

After hearing this, Queen Zhen Xi wanted to reach out and strangle this old scumbag to death.

But in front of a concubine, especially Concubine Yu, Queen Zhen Xi not only couldn't be angry, but also had to show a grateful expression, "It's all my fault, I didn't give the prince a good body, which made the emperor worried. "

Although Emperor Yongchang could not be said to have any guilty conscience, the prince had indeed behaved well during this period and had been working hard to help him with things. After thinking about it, he still held the queen's hand.

Concubine Yu’s face changed and she gritted her teeth in anger.

Who in the harem didn't know that the emperor didn't care about the life or death of the prince at all, so he didn't care whether the prince practiced martial arts. The result was such a secret that everyone knew, but the queen took advantage of it to show off her affection.

When everyone was talking, the second prince had already finished the competition. Seeing that the emperor didn't even look at him, Concubine Han Xian felt very uncomfortable, but she couldn't show it.

 Shortly afterwards, Baili Rongze came to the open space.

Wearing a riding and shooting outfit, carrying a bow and arrow on his back, and holding a horse rope in his hand, he shocked the young ladies around him as soon as he came on stage from Baili Rongze.

Especially when Baili Rongze hit every shot, the stands became excited.
