If not abolished

Chapter 219: The Crown Prince is henpecked?

Zhu Zhanji hurried to Rouyi Palace, "Mother."

"Okay, I know you're anxious. Come and see Shanxiang." It was rare for the Crown Princess to see her son like this.

Hu Shanxiang saw Zhu Zhanji coming in and was about to get up, but Zhu Zhanji hurriedly asked her to sit down, "Why are you sitting here? Are you feeling unwell? How do you feel? What do you want to eat?"

"Your Highness asked me so many questions at once. Which one should I answer first?" Hu Shanxiang was also amused by his nervous look.

Zhu Zhanji also felt that he had lost his composure, "Yes, I was just too happy for the moment, I..."

"Don't worry, the imperial physician has just examined her and Shanxiang is fine. You don't have to worry. But she might be tired today, so go back and have a good rest." The Crown Princess replied.

"That's good, that's good." Zhu Zhanji finally felt relieved. When he came here, he heard that the imperial physician had been invited, and he thought something had happened. He ran here before he finished listening to the message from the person who came, and only heard the explanation on the way.

"However, this is Shanxiang's first pregnancy, so you really have to be careful. You don't have any experience, so I'd better arrange a few experienced maids to serve you, otherwise I won't be at ease."

"What the Crown Princess said is right. This is exactly what I meant." Concubine Wang walked in without notifying anyone and continued what the Crown Princess said.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine." Everyone stood up and saluted.

"Oh, get up quickly. Your health is precious now. From now on, you don't have to go through all the formalities and greetings." Concubine Wang said as she asked her to get up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Hu Shanxiang expressed her gratitude.

"Hurry up and sit down so I can take a good look at you. Oh, that's great. But I still say that you are surrounded by young palace servants who have no experience. You still need experienced people to serve you. Only then will I and the Crown Princess feel at ease. I know you don't like the elders to arrange people for you, but you are in a special situation now. If something happens, His Majesty and the Crown Prince will look for me and the Crown Princess."

"Shanxiang understands. The Imperial Concubine and the Crown Princess are doing this for her own good." Hu Shanxiang naturally had no reason to refuse. Besides, these were all for her own good and she was not an ungrateful person.

After hearing what she said, Concubine Wang took her hand and said with a smile, "I knew you understood my intentions. When I came here just now, His Majesty and the Crown Prince were discussing matters together. When they heard the news, they were also very happy, so they let me come and take a look first."

"Shanxiang has been tired after a whole day. Agui should take Shanxiang back to Qingyun Palace to have a good rest first." The Crown Princess suggested.

"Yes, yes, yes, you need to have a good rest now. I have been talking to you for such a long time. Agui, please take the Crown Princess back to have a good rest." Concubine Wang also echoed.

"Yes, grandson, I will obey your command."

Zhu Zhanji carefully helped Hu Shanxiang back all the way. The journey that usually took a cup of tea took Zhu Zhanji a stick of incense. Hu Shanxiang was almost speechless at his cautious look. Finally, she couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, I'm fine. There's no need to be so careful. I'm not a porcelain doll. Besides, my two sisters are still here. It's been such a long time since they arrived. It's really..."

"Okay, I got it. Well, if you two have nothing else to do, you can go back first." Zhu Zhanji said reasonably.

After receiving the pardon order, Cao and Chu bowed and left quickly.

"Okay, now that no one is following us, let's go our own way." Zhu Zhanji continued to hold her hand and said.

Hu Shanxiang glared at Zhu Zhanji, shook off Zhu Zhanji's hand, and walked away on her own.

Zhu Zhanji naturally had no way to deal with her, so he had to follow her and pay attention.

Soon the news of Hu Shanxiang's pregnancy spread throughout the palace, and also the news that Hu Shanxiang had lost her temper with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as she became pregnant.

At that moment, countless people were ready to curry favor with Hu Shanxiang, but they were all stopped by the Crown Princess and others.

After Zhu Zhanji sent Hu Shanxiang back, he watched her fall asleep before returning to Rouyi Palace.

"Why are you back again?" The Crown Princess was puzzled when she saw him coming back.

After Zhu Zhanji sat down, he said, "I have something to tell you."

“You say.” Seeing how serious he was, the Crown Princess also became serious in an instant.

"The palace servant you sent here last time was kicked out by my son. I just want to tell you that I have enough manpower and we are not short of anyone. You don't need to arrange any more."

The Crown Princess didn’t know about this. “What happened to that palace maid? Why was she kicked out for no reason?” The Crown Princess knew her son a little bit, and she wouldn’t punish the palace maid easily unless something happened.

"I heard that the palace maid used to serve my father's concubine?"

The Crown Princess nodded, "Is that so? Is there any connection between them?"

"Others don't know, but mother should know how that concubine came about. A few days ago, that palace maid was about to follow the example of that concubine and drug her son. Fortunately, she was discovered in time. Now think about it, if she had succeeded at that time, and if Shanxiang knew about it, and if she had a miscarriage, what would happen if something happened?" Zhu Zhanji still feels a little scared when he thinks about it now. Fortunately, he didn't do anything to let Shanxiang down.

The Crown Princess frowned more and more as she listened. As a woman, how could she not understand? "I really didn't know about this. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have done it. In this case, let's do what you say. Now everything is for Shanxiang's sake."

"Besides this, even though Shanxiang is pregnant, mother and elders should not arrange anyone else for their son..."

"Are you... so afraid that Shanxiang will be angry?" The Crown Princess thought that Zhu Zhanji was afraid that Hu Shanxiang would be angry.

"It's not that I'm afraid of Shanxiang being angry. She is very generous. She often tells her son about the other two ladies and asks me to treat them well. It's just that my son doesn't want to, so he came here in advance to tell his mother. If mother still insists... then don't blame me for not thinking about the mother-son relationship." Zhu Zhanji was not lying. Even in his previous life, he was stubborn in deposing the queen, and even his mother disagreed, there was nothing she could do about it.

The Crown Princess was so speechless that she was speechless. “When did I say I would send someone to you? It’s really... Okay, okay, don’t worry. As long as His Majesty and the Crown Prince don’t say anything, I won’t care about you. Just live a good life with Shanxiang. When the baby is born next year, I will hold my grandson in my arms and play with him. Oh, I will finally hold my grandson in my arms.” The Crown Princess smiled at the thought.

“We don’t even know whether it’s a boy or a girl. Don’t keep talking about grandchildren in front of Shanxiang. It puts pressure on her. Don’t you like your granddaughter?” Based on Zhu Zhanji’s experience in his previous life, it was very likely that this time it was his eldest princess, Princess Shunde.

The Crown Princess looked at his protective look and said, "I know, I know. I'm sure I'll love all my grandchildren. Really."

"That's good. There's nothing else to do. I'll leave first. I have to accompany Shanxiang for dinner." Zhu Zhanji said and was about to leave.

The Crown Princess waved her hand and let him go. She really didn't want to keep him.

As soon as Zhu Zhanji left, Yun Jin walked to the side of the Crown Princess and asked, "Will what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done make His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince angry? If this gets out, people will probably say that our His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is henpecked and that the Crown Princess is jealous." Yun Jin asked with some concern.

"Your Majesty, what can Your Majesty say? He did the same thing in the past. What can you say? As for the Crown Prince, he is busy with official duties and will not care about this matter at all. So there is nothing to worry about." The Crown Princess said indifferently.

"So that's it."

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. Go check what happened to that palace maid. It's so abominable that she actually plotted against my son." The Crown Princess was surprised when the Crown Prince was plotted against last time, but this time it was her own son. It seems that the atmosphere in the palace needs to be corrected, otherwise such things will happen again and again.

"Yes, slave, I'll do it now."

Yikun Palace

After Zhu Di finished dealing with government affairs, he hurried to the Yiku Palace to find out the situation.

"My beloved concubine, have you gone to see it? How is it? What did the prince say?" Zhu Di hurried in and asked.

"Your Majesty, please sit down first. I will tell you one by one. The imperial physician said that Shanxiang is doing well. In the blink of an eye, Agui is going to be a father, and we are going to be great grandfathers and great grandmothers. When the child is born next year, the palace will be lively."

"We've grown old in the blink of an eye."

"No."
