Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Xianfei

    All the concubines stood up and bowed to Concubine De. Concubine Xian nodded slightly, smiled and asked her to take a seat next to her.

　　Meng Sangyu helped the fifth prince who was greeting him and touched the top of his soft hair. The fifth prince has just turned four this year. He has a small bun on his head and is tied with a gold rope. His little face is plump and looks like a pink dumpling. His eyes are inherited from Emperor Wu of Zhou Dynasty. They are dark and bright, and the corners of his eyes are slightly swollen. Meng Sangyu's heart trembled when he saw him.

　　"The fifth prince is getting cuter and cuter." She admired sincerely.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu stared directly at the child in front of him, his eyes full of nostalgia. The fifth prince Yuxue is cute, smart and well-behaved, and is one of his most beloved children. Seeing him for the first time in three months, he was a little excited.

　　There was a hint of pride in Concubine Xian's eyes. Before she could speak, the fifth prince bowed to her and said in a sweet voice, "Concubine Xie, thank you for your compliments."

　　Three or four-year-old children, who are still rolling around on the floor in modern times, are ignorant and ignorant at this age, but in this palace, they have been trained to be precise and presentable. Meng Sangyu suddenly felt a little bored, but still smiled and said, "Be good."

　　All the concubines hurriedly echoed, not knowing whether they were flattering Concubine De or flattering Concubine Xian.

　　Concubine Xian smiled and opened her eyes. She was very satisfied with her son's performance and deliberately showed off, "Last night, the emperor tested the emperor's homework. The emperor answered fluently. The emperor is very satisfied." After saying this, she patted the fifth prince on the shoulder and called him. Memorize the Three-Character Sutra for all the empresses to listen to.

　　After hearing Concubine Xian's show off, Emperor Wu of Zhou felt extremely depressed. Not only did he fail to identify the real person next to him, but he actually asked the emperor to recognize his thief as his father. What a blind eye!

　　Because of the anger in his heart, Emperor Zhou Wu's joy at meeting his son faded a lot, and he had no intention of listening to his son's recitation, so he snuggled into Meng Sangyu's arms and stayed out of sight. Meng Sangyu listened attentively. The child's voice was so milky that it blew into the heart like a feather, making people unable to stop feeling happy.

　　After the fifth prince finished reciting it, all the concubines began to praise him. Although Concubine Xian's face was not obvious, her peach blossom eyes were filled with pride and pride. Concubine Li has a son, and she also has a son. Why must Concubine Li be the best candidate to establish a marriage? In terms of qualifications, she is not much inferior to Concubine Li. Moreover, the emperor obviously likes herself and his son better than Concubine Li and her son.

　　Thinking of this, she stroked the dense love marks on her neck and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

　　In the palace, the emperor's pet is the most valuable asset to show off. Not only did Xian Fei not think about hiding it, she also tried to tell the world. The sharp-eyed concubine saw her neck covered with red marks, her eyes flickered for a moment, and she said tentatively, "The emperor has not set foot in the harem in three months. There are rumors inside and outside the palace that the emperor has been seriously injured. Today, these rumors have been put to rest." .”

　　"I don't know where the evil spirits started to spread rumors and cause trouble! The emperor is in the prime of life and is very powerful. How could he be damaged by a small injury?" Concubine Xian lazily leaned on the armrest of the chair and picked up a cup of hot tea. Sipping slowly, she revealed a section of her snow-white neck with mottled red marks, which was really eye-catching and added a bit of color to her already delicate face.

　　Meng Sangyu frowned and tilted his head slightly.

　　The eyes of all the concubines were slightly red.

　　When Abao said the four words "dragon spirit and tiger ferocity", Abao suddenly turned to look at her. He saw the marks between her eyebrows and the marks on her neck, and two clusters of flames ignited in her dark eyes. . It seems that Concubine Xian had a great time last night! ? He squinted his eyes and thought to himself, the rage and depression in his heart intertwined, making the new hairs on his back stand up.

　　As a woman, even her husband couldn't tell them apart, so what else could he expect from them? I'm afraid, in their eyes, he is just a symbol, a symbol of power and status. As long as he is wearing a dragon robe, they will not care who the person under the dragon robe is. Besides Sang Yu, who has tried to understand him? Probably never again!

　　Feeling chills in his heart, Emperor Zhou Wu pulled on Meng Sangyu's open cotton robe and kept digging into her arms, trying to get a little warmth. This is the place he loves most.

　　Meng Sangyu pinched A Bao's little nose, opened his clothes and wrapped him in his arms, leaving only a dog's head exposed. The dog wears a small hat on its head with two wings sewn on it, which looks novel and cute.

　　The fifth prince's round eyes became brighter and he stared at Abao unblinkingly.

　　"Empress De Fei, he has two little wings on his head." The fifth prince pointed at Abao and said with longing, "Can you give me a hug?"

　　"Not now. He has just been injured. If he does something wrong, he will be hurt. When he recovers, I will take him out to play with the fifth prince." Meng Sangyu cruelly refused the fifth prince's request. Children of this age don't know the severity of their hands and feet, and if Po is in his arms, he will probably get more injured.

　　The fifth prince looked sad and wanted to cry, but he had begun to look like a prince and did not cry. He just snuggled pitifully into the concubine's arms. Concubine Xian was a little unhappy. She glanced at Concubine De with a serious look, picked up a fruit plate next to her and said coaxingly, "The puppy is injured. If you bump into him, he will bite you. Let's wait until he recovers." Let’s talk later. Come, eat a longan, your father gave it to you this morning. Lingnan only paid tribute to one basket this year, and they are all here.”

　　While the concubine Xian was coaxing her children, she did not forget to show off her favor to build momentum for herself.

　　Meng Sangyu sighed inwardly, raised his hand to catch the longan that Concubine Xian handed to the fifth prince's mouth, and spoke carefully, "The flesh of longan is thin and has a large core, and the texture is slippery. It is not suitable for children like the fifth prince to eat. If the core gets stuck in the throat, it may cause serious harm to children." If his life is in danger, it’s better to pick off the pulp and feed it to him. Don’t eat too much, longan is warm and tonic, and even adults can’t bear it if they eat too much.”

　　Because longan is an extremely rare tribute, even high-ranking concubines could not eat it even once a year, so they asked the emperor to transfer it to the Queen Mother of Qianfo Mountain. Concubine Xian had never eaten it before, so she naturally didn't know about these claims, so she was a little unhappy at the moment. But for the sake of her children, she did not stuff the longan into the fifth prince's mouth.

　　The fifth prince had been rejected once before, and now he had nothing good to eat. As soon as he blinked his eyes, tears came down. He pulled on Concubine Xian's sleeves and begged, "Concubine, the child wants to eat longan! The child wants to eat longan." Eat longan!"

　　Concubine Xian was madly in love with her son. The most unbearable thing was her son's tears. She immediately forgot Concubine De's warning and hurriedly peeled off a longan and stuffed it into his mouth. She told him softly, "Spit out the core." Come out, you know?”

　　The fifth prince smiled through tears while holding the longan in his mouth, rolled the longan meat clean with his tongue, and spit out the longan core into the hand of the palace maid on the side. Seeing that he was eating well, Concubine Xian was relieved and signaled the palace maid to continue skinning her son, but she didn't agree with Concubine De's words just now.

　　All the concubines cast mocking glances at Concubine De, thinking that her actions just now were because they were jealous of Concubine Xian and deliberately caused trouble for Concubine Xian.

　　Meng Sangyu smiled nonchalantly, lowered his head and stroked Ah Bao's ears, receiving a hum of comfort from Ah Bao. Anyway, she has already said what needs to be said, so they can just be careful.

　　But she didn't expect that it was too early for her to be relieved. Longan meat is smooth and tender, juicy and sweet, and has an excellent taste that makes people salivate and want to stop eating it. The fifth prince became interested after eating two or three pills, and his movements became eager. When he took the fifth pill, he rolled his tongue and swallowed the whole longan.

　　The esophagus of a three- or four-year-old child is very narrow, and it is impossible for the longan to pass smoothly, so it gets stuck at the junction of the larynx and the trachea and cannot move up or down. The fifth prince was speechless and his face immediately turned purple.

　　"Ah! Your Majesty is in trouble, the fifth prince is stuck!" The maid was so frightened that she knocked over the fruit plate and screamed while patting the fifth prince on the back.

　　Concubine Xian, who was chatting and laughing with the concubines, was stunned for a moment, then stood up, grabbed the fifth prince and slapped him hard on the back. The fifth prince's face had turned blue-white, his eyes rolled back and forth, and he could only breathe out, not in.

　　All the concubines stood up from their respective positions in shock and took a few steps back for fear of causing trouble. Although there were worried and anxious expressions on their faces, many people's eyes clearly shone with gloating.

　　Concubine Xian looked at her son who slowly fell limp in her arms, feeling a burst of despair in her heart. Her delicate makeup was messed up with tears and sweat. She yelled hoarsely, "Go, call the doctor! Hurry!"

　　"Get out of the way and let me come." Meng Sangyu couldn't stand it any longer. He stuffed the screaming Abao into Nanny Feng's arms, pulled Xian Fei away, and placed the fifth prince who was about to faint into his lap. , head down, feet up, slapped his shoulder blades hard, five times. Seeing that the longan still didn't come out, he laid him flat on the ground, pressed his sternum hard with his index and middle fingers, repeated ten times. After the visit, there was a popping sound, and the longan in the fifth prince's throat finally came out.

　　Seeing that although her son was unconscious, his bruised face had returned to rosy, and his intermittent breathing had become even, Concubine Xian's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. The maids on the side called the empress repeatedly, and helped her to sit on the chair with all their hands.

　　Meng Sangyu squatted on the ground holding the fifth prince, breathing heavily. Yincui and Bishui walked forward distressedly, took the fifth prince from her arms, and helped her sit down on the chair.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu stopped barking and breathed a sigh of relief. At critical moments, Sang Yu is still the most reliable. Concubine Xian can't even take care of herself, how can she take good care of her children! ?

　　The imperial doctor arrived late and ordered the maids to take the unconscious fifth prince and the dying concubine back to Jiangzi Palace for diagnosis and treatment. Meng Sangyu was worried and quickly followed A Bao. The concubines didn't want to leave first and walked toward Jiangzi Palace in a mighty manner.

　　In Zhongcui Palace, Shen Huiru only smiled coldly after hearing the news and had no intention of rushing to visit. She doesn't take any of the concubines, princes, and princesses in the palace now. No matter whether they are dead or alive, they can't hinder her in anything. Anyway, they are just toys that she can knead and play with at will. Even Meng Sangyu, whom she once hated the most, can no longer stir up a ripple in her heart, because she has already stood in a place that is out of reach of him.

　　In Fengluan Palace, Concubine Li waved away the maid who came to report the news, and sighed, "I didn't expect Concubine De to come to the rescue. What a pity! It would be great to die!"

　　"Just because you can't have your own children, you must be very soft-hearted towards other people's children. Concubine De is also pitiful." Concubine Li's confidant said with emotion. No one else would have bothered with this kind of thing, but I didn't expect that Concubine De, who was always known for her ruthlessness, would actually lend a helping hand.

　　"Well, Concubine De never takes action against children, and I respect her for this. Come on, let's go see the fifth prince." Concubine Li picked out some gifts and headed to Jiangzi Palace with all the palace attendants. Go.
