Chapter 233: The Waves of Nan are Solved
My first reaction was that Shi Rongyue had lost weight. Wasn’t she pregnant? Why did she lose weight instead?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, the prince clenched his hands violently, and a feeling of shame and anger instantly surged into his heart. He wished that frivolous and vicious woman would have a more miserable end; that was the result he wanted.
However, even though he thought so in his heart, the prince's eyes still involuntarily fell on Shi Rongyue. His eyes were so deep that it was difficult to tell his emotions.
The eldest prince hated the fact that the crown prince always took the lead by relying on his status. He was obviously the eldest son of the emperor, and therefore he paid the most attention to the crown prince. So he was the first to notice the crown prince's strange look when he looked at Shi Rongyue.
At first, I was surprised. Could it be that the prince was still thinking about the former eldest princess of the Shi family? She was now the concubine of the fourth prince!
What followed was sarcasm and ridicule. She was just a woman. Who would have thought that his noble brother, the Crown Prince, was such a romantic man!
With a roll of his eyes, the eldest prince smiled evilly and asked deliberately:
"Why doesn't the second prince leave?"
As he spoke, he seemed to have just realized something, then looked at Shi Rongyue and exclaimed:
"Isn't this Princess Shi?"
Just after he finished speaking, he quickly slapped his mouth:
"Look at my memory. Princess Shi has married the fourth brother as his concubine. I heard she is pregnant. Congratulations to my fourth brother!"
Shi Rongyue was still immersed in her confusion as to why Shi Nanxi suddenly became so close to the Empress Dowager. She didn't even react when Kangxi and the others arrived. It was not until she heard the words of the eldest prince that she subconsciously looked up.
As a result, she met the prince's delicate and romantic peach blossom eyes, she was startled and quickly turned her head away.
She still felt a little guilty about the fact that the Crown Prince was willing to help her and the Fourth Prince get together under the circumstances in the Fairy Tower. You know, she has never cheated on a man in modern times.
It would have been fine if they had not met, and she deliberately put the matter behind her and did not think about it. However, she did not expect that the eldest prince would mention it in public. After turning her head away, she became angry and embarrassed and immediately looked at the eldest prince.
"I didn't expect that big brother has such a bad memory at such a young age. It seems that I have to talk to big sister-in-law and ask her to help big brother improve his brain."
There was a sudden silence all around.
The eldest prince did not expect that Shi Rongyue would dare to ridicule him in public. He was immediately furious and looked at the fourth prince behind him.
"Fourth Brother, this is how you discipline your concubine. How can a concubine like her interrupt when the master is talking? You really don't know the rules. When I go back, ask your eldest sister-in-law to send someone to teach you, the concubine, the rules, so that you won't offend the noble lady without knowing it in the future."
The Fourth Prince had a cold face and looked at Shi Rongyue with frosty eyes, then looked at the Eldest Prince. He was about to speak but was interrupted by Shi Rongyue.
She was seen holding her belly with one hand and holding the table with the other, looking at the eldest prince with a sneer on her face:
"Brother, what are you talking about? If there is anything wrong with me, I will let the Fourth Master deal with it. There is no need for you to interfere!"
These words once again caused everyone to fall silent. No one had expected Concubine Shi to be so bold as to contradict the eldest prince in public. However, what she said made sense. Concubine Shi was the Fourth Prince's concubine. Whether she made mistakes or not, and how to deal with her was not the eldest prince's turn to intervene.
The eldest prince was so angry that his body was shaking, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of disbelief.
The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince were also looking at Shi Rongyue. Their eyes looked a little dazed, as if they had returned to the re-election period, when Shi Rongyue was bold and creative.
Shi Rongyue touched her belly and rolled her eyes secretly. She had nothing to be afraid of now that she was pregnant. Besides, although the Eldest Prince seemed very powerful now, he would still be imprisoned by the Fourth Prince for the rest of his life. She was not afraid of offending him at all.
Nanny Gu was so frightened that her calves were shaking. She never expected that the concubine would argue with the eldest prince in public.
The commotion here has attracted the attention of Kangxi and others. Kangxi frowned, and the empress dowager was angry and distressed. She was angry at the eldest prince, wondering how could she use Shi Rongyue to provoke the prince, and she felt distressed for the prince.
Shi Nanxi naturally noticed it as well. She pursed her lips into a straight line and glanced at the Crown Prince and others before her eyes fell on the seats of the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince. She had clearly had their seats separated, so why were they now connected?
When Nanny Yang received the look from the empress, her heart tightened and she quickly stepped forward and lowered her body. After hearing the empress's order, she immediately turned around and led people to move the tables and chairs.
While Shi Nanxi was instructing Madam Yang, Imperial Concubine Niu Hulu took the opportunity to speak:
"Hey, what's going on with the prince? The concert is about to start, why don't you sit down quickly? Is there something wrong with the seating arrangement?"
After she finished speaking, she held up a handkerchief to hide the smile on her lips and glanced at Shi Nanxi. When she had someone arrange it, she had guessed that this would be the effect, but she didn't expect the actual effect to be even better.
Concubine Hui looked at Concubine Nianhulu who was speaking with gloomy eyes. Nianhulu, it must be this person who did something. She believed that Concubine Xian would not make such a small mistake.
Then he looked at the eldest prince with concern. Is Nianhulu using the eldest prince as a weapon?
Kangxi and the Empress Dowager looked even uglier when they heard Concubine Nianhulu's words.
Just as the Empress Dowager was about to speak, Shi Nanxi stood up and pleaded guilty:
"It's all my fault. This is my first time organizing a banquet. I'm inexperienced and have made some mistakes. Your Highness the Crown Prince should be seated below the Emperor. Please move. Please forgive me, the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and Your Highness the Crown Prince for my lack of ability."
The next moment, Nanny Yang and the palace servants carefully carried a seat and placed it below Kangxi.
Kangxi's complexion improved a little. He glanced at Shi Nanxi soothingly, then spoke in a deep voice:
"Baocheng, come here."
The Queen Mother also hurriedly said:
"I haven't been close to Baocheng for a while. If you sit closer, we can have some intimacy."
The prince, who was originally looking at Shi Rongyue in a trance, suddenly came back to his senses when Concubine Nianhulu spoke. He quickly looked away and quietly clenched his hands.
He was feeling disgusted and annoyed when he suddenly heard Concubine Xian's words of relief. He quickly suppressed his chaotic thoughts, let go of her hand, turned around and bowed, saying:
"Mother Xian, you are too kind." Then he said, "Father Huang, Madam Huang, Baocheng will be here soon."
Watching the prince leave the group of princes and walk towards Kangxi, Shi Nanxi looked at Concubine Nianhulu who had an unhappy expression, curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and turned to the eldest prince and others.
"It's getting late, the show is about to start, eldest brother, please lead your brothers to their seats!"
The eldest prince looked unhappy. At this time, Kangxi's voice came out in a neither light nor heavy voice:
"Yinzhi, didn't you hear what your mother Xian said? Why don't you take your brothers to their seats?"
The eldest prince, who looked unhappy, was startled and quickly calmed down, leading the princes behind him to take their seats.
After they took their seats, Shi Nanxi retracted her gaze and gave a wink. The next moment, the troupe went on stage and started singing.
"[Dong Weng, this is the crazy guy...]"
