The news that Fu Lingling caught a cold after getting wet in the rain soon reached Shen Qingwan's ears. When Xiaoman told her about it, she couldn't help but frown. The prince was being too tactless.
"The Crown Prince has really been spoiled by the Queen. The Emperor sent him out to study for two years but he hasn't made any progress." Xiao Man didn't like the Queen, so she didn't think highly of Fu Mochen either.
Shen Qingwan's eyes flashed fiercely when she heard this, but she didn't say anything in the end. She stood up and said, "Let's go to Concubine De's courtyard."
Considering his friendship with Zhao Yuanrong in the palace, he should go over to see if Fu Lingling got into trouble.
When she walked into Zhao Yuanrong's courtyard, she was busy instructing the palace maids to boil medicine. Her tone was slightly anxious and helpless, "First, boil a bowl of ginger soup for the third princess to drive away the cold."
"I understand." The palace maid dutifully took off her clothes and went about her business.
At this time, Shen Qingwan happened to walk into the palace and saw that the palace maids were all anxious. They bowed respectfully when they saw her, and she just calmly asked them to exempt themselves from the ceremony.
Zhao Yuanrong, who was a little annoyed, felt much more at ease when he saw her, "My sister is here."
"I heard that the third princess had caught a cold, so I came to see her." He scanned her face carefully, and I guess she was unhappy about this matter. "Is the third princess in a serious condition?"
The health of children is not easy to be determined. If they are not strong, even a cold can harm their bodies, let alone a six-year-old girl.
Zhao Yuanrong waved his hand and asked the maids in the palace to wait outside. When they were the only ones left in the palace, he sighed, "It's not serious, but I'm afraid he's got some underlying disease."
It is not auspicious for a woman to get sick.
"Ask the imperial physician to take a good look and prescribe some more medicine to regulate your body." Her tone was always calm and peaceful, and one could not hear any emotion from it.
Zhao Yuanrong nodded and agreed with her opinion, but she couldn't help but feel resentful. "The prince is really going too far." Sitting at the table, she looked resentful. "Even if it's just a quarrel between children, Lingling shouldn't be left outside in the rain!"
But Fu Mochen was a prince with a noble status, which was not something that ordinary people could talk about. Even if Fu Lingling caught a cold, who would dare to provoke him without the order of Fu Yuheng or Xiao Shushen
"I am also incompetent. The prince is too spoiled and the queen dotes on him. Even if I am dissatisfied, I have to swallow my anger with Lingling." Her voice was filled with reluctance, but also helplessness.
She had no way to change this fact and could only accept her fate.
But how could she not hate it? She was not favored in the palace, and even the third princess didn't favor her much. She was bullied by the prince for no reason!
Listening to Zhao Yuanrong's complaints and dissatisfaction, Shen Qingwan just glanced at her indifferently and did not say anything. She did not want to comment.
But Zhao Yuanrong wanted to say a few more words since he had started talking. After all, there were not many people he could complain to. "The emperor might not know about this yet. If the queen stops this, I will just have to suffer in silence!"
Seeing her increasingly negative mood, her eyes reddened with grievance and helplessness, Shen Qingwan frowned slightly, and finally couldn't bear it, and said softly, "Sister Defei, there is no need to be so self-deprecating." She said word by word firmly, "The third princess will not be wronged for nothing. If sister sheds these tears, they will not know, but it will hurt her body."
Zhao Yuanrong was a little surprised at her comfort. Normally, she had a calm look and a cold voice, but today she seemed a little more humane.
She wiped her tears and nodded gratefully, finally feeling better. "Thank you, sister. I was talkative today."
"It's okay." Her lips slightly wrinkled, and her voice became a little colder.
After chatting with her for a few more words, Shen Qingwan left. On the way, she couldn't help but think of Fu Mochen.
With his personality, even if his biological mother is the queen, he will never be able to sit firmly on the throne of crown prince, and she is also waiting for the day when he falls from the throne of crown prince.
Shen Qingwan knew that Fu Lingling had caught a cold, and Fu Mochen naturally knew it too, feeling a little regretful.
If she hadn't been locked outside, she wouldn't have been caught in the rain and caught a cold, but who made her argue with him!
As the crown prince, everyone around him obeys him in everything, even his mother obeys him. How could he tolerate anyone provoking him
Seeing him walking around the hall anxiously, Xiao Shushen went up to him and touched his head, "Chen'er, what's wrong with you?" There was a hint of teasing in her voice, and she looked at him and asked with a slight smile on her lips.
Fu Mochen frowned in confusion, "Mother, I heard that the third princess has caught a cold."
Xiao Shushen had naturally heard about this matter, and raised her eyebrows indifferently, "So what?"
"Isn't the Queen Mother worried?"
Xiao Shushen smiled, "It's not my child, why should I worry?" She said it so matter-of-factly that Fu Mochen was dazed for a moment, and he looked at her with curious eyes.
"Chen'er, there's no need to worry about irrelevant people." There was a hint of severity in her eyes, which made him retreat a little.
His eyes were a little vague, and he stuttered, "But...but Third Princess...it's because of me that I..."
Her silly son! Xiao Shushen touched his head again, her eyes were extremely firm, "Chen'er, you must remember that you are the prince, the future ruler of a country, and they shouldn't have offended you."
"But..." Fu Mochen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by her again.
"No buts!" Her voice became a little colder as her eyes matched hers. "Not to mention the Third Princess, even anyone in the harem shouldn't go against you. They should bow down to you. If you feel sorry for those who have offended you, they will only laugh at you behind your back, and won't respect you at all."
"My son..."
"Chen'er, you just need to remember that you are the crown prince, and only the emperor can punish you. But you are the emperor's only prince, how could he be willing to punish you? So you don't have to feel guilty or regretful towards the third princess. If she dares to talk back to you, you should show your dignity as the crown prince. So what if you have a cold?" There was a trace of sarcasm and contempt in Xiao Shushen's eyes. A mere princess of Consort De dared to compete with the crown prince
After being instilled with such thoughts by Xiao Shushen, the slight regret in Fu Mochen's heart disappeared without a trace, and he became even more arrogant.
The queen mother is right, he is the crown prince, the future king of a country, and no one can offend him!
A relieved smile appeared on his face, his chin raised arrogantly, and there was a smug look in his eyes.
Xiao Shushen was very satisfied when she saw this, and a sinister look flashed across her eyes for a moment, "Chen'er, do you understand?"
He nodded heavily, "I understand, son! I will never let anyone provoke me easily in the future, and I will never feel sorry for them!"
