Because of the emperor's order, the news that the imperial concubine of Yonghe Palace had given birth to a son was naturally spread quickly to all the palaces, and some were happy while others were sad. The happy concubines thought that if others could give birth, they could also give birth, and whether it was a son or a daughter, they would always have someone to rely on in the future. As for the worries... it was not about the future of their children, because most of them did not have children.
What they were worried about was that the imperial concubine, who originally had only one daughter, now had a son. The emperor even went there in person and reportedly even went into the delivery room. Wouldn't she really dominate the harem in the future, and would no one else have a chance? Today's imperial concubine is not the queen of the past. She doesn't care about anything and doesn't compete for favor!
Apart from her, who can suppress Concubine Yu who has become a noble concubine
However, the emperor was so happy that he overlooked one place, that is, the third prince in Ciqing Palace. He did not send anyone to deliver the news. It was not that he deliberately forgot, but he was so excited that he only thought about telling the empress dowager and other concubines in the harem. He did not think that the news needed to be sent to inform the prince who was studying.
Therefore, not only the Ciqing Palace, but also the entire eastern area of the palace where the Ciqing Palace is located, is in good order. The three cabinet ministers, the other cabinet secretaries and other assistants, and the eunuchs who serve here, all have no idea that there is another prince in the palace.
As for the Crown Prince, tutors and lecturers in Ciqing Palace, they should study harder and make progress every day.
Because under Zhu Ying's alliance, although the lecturers and the attendants did not write a joint letter, they all sent fierce memorials, complaining about how diligent the prince was in studying. Moreover, the lecturers praised the attendants for their diligence, and the attendants praised the lecturers for their diligence. Anyway, they praised each other a lot. The core meaning is only one, the Eastern Palace is a united whole!
Even the lecturers from the Hanlin Academy, after learning that Zhu Ying personally visited Yue Shanzhang and others and that they were put on record, had to make the same choice, even though they also wanted to drive Zhang Shou away. Because of this, the attendant scholar from the Hanlin Academy who came to Ciqing Palace to lecture after Zhang Shou today wanted to stare at the prince carefully.
However, since he had skipped class once, the Third Prince was very focused throughout the whole day. Even if the tutor wanted to teach him, he didn't have the chance. When the two classes were over and it was almost time for lunch, he didn't expect that the Third Prince would politely ask him to stay and have lunch together.
For such an honor, under normal circumstances, one would certainly appear to be humble, but in fact be overjoyed and want to refuse it, but now that there are so many rumors outside because of the Crown Prince's truancy, one has to reluctantly decline. When he said goodbye and left, he even couldn't help but give the Third Prince a few words of advice.
"No matter what the Crown Prince thinks, you must know that everyone is watching you. Even though you are the de facto eldest son and have a good reputation, you can't stand being corrupted by villains. You know, it's hard to build a reputation, but it's too easy to destroy it."
