Consort Xian was the happiest for Xiao Zhonghua to be appointed as the crown prince.
In the past year, because Xiao Zhonghua had always made Emperor Jing Xuan unhappy, even Qixiang Palace had suffered a cold reception.
She was ostracized in the harem, and the Internal Affairs Department did not work well for her. Even the silver charcoal used by Qixiang Palace was sent in by Xiao Zhonghua from outside the palace.
Now that the news of the crown prince was out, the concubines who came to Qi Xiang Palace to congratulate him almost broke the threshold.
Consort Xian held her head high. “Now you know how to curry favor with me? What were you doing long ago?
Eunuch Liu asked, “Your Highness, do you want to see them?” Consort Xian snorted coldly. “I’m tired. I’m not seeing guests!”
Eunuch Liu walked out with a smile and sent the concubines away.
Not long after, the steward of the Internal Affairs Department came over. Eunuch Liu said with a fake smile, “Yo, what brings Eunuch Zhang here?”
Eunuch Zhang said with a smile, “Isn’t this Lingnan’s new lychee? I’m sending them to Consort Xian to try it.”
“Hmph.”
Eunuch Liu glanced at him disdainfully and went in to report to Consort Xian. Several batches of lychees had come to the palace, but Qi Xiang Palace did not get a single one.
Consort Xian had been craving it for a long time.
She dusted her handkerchief neutrally.
Eunuch Liu understood and led Eunuch Zhang in.
Eunuch Liu smiled obsequiously. “Your Highness, the largest and best lychees are all here.”
Consort Xian lay on the chaise longue while the palace maid fanned her gently.
She said casually, “I heard that Imperial Concubine Zhao and Imperial Concubine Yu already have one box each. It can’t be that it’s my turn because these are the leftovers, right?”
Eunuch Liu smiled and said, “How can that be? The color of the lychees a few days ago was not good, so they can’t enter your mouth. Look, as soon as the good ones arrive, I’m sending them to you immediately!”
Consort Xian smiled coldly. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll spread these words and let you offend them?”
Eunuch Liu said, “I only follow Consort Xian’s lead!” “Call the princess over,” Consort Xian instructed.
“Yes.”
A little palace maid went to invite Princess Hui An over.
Princess Hui An also liked to eat lychees.
The palace maid washed her hands, peeled the fresh lychees, and placed them on the ice.
Consort Xian fed the first one to her daughter. “Is it delicious?”
“Delicious.” Princess Hui An nodded.
Eunuch Liu couldn’t stop smiling.
“Is there one at Jingning’s?” Princess Hui An ate another one.
The two princesses had been fighting. Eunuch Liu looked at the arrogant Consort Xian and smiled.
“I haven’t sent it to Kunning Palace yet. Princess, don’t worry. As long as you like it, there are more!”
When Princess Hui An heard this, her face immediately darkened. “How does the Internal Affairs Department do your job? How dare you neglect the princess!”
Eunuch Liu finally stood up and fell to his knees in fear.
At this moment, Xiao Zhonghua came over.
He frowned at the untouched lychees in the basket and said to Eunuch Liu,
“Send them to Kunning Palace.”
Eunuch Liu carefully glanced at Consort Xian. Seeing that Consort Xian did not object, he quickly picked up the basket. “Yes, Your Highness!”
The palace maid only had time to peel a small plate.
Consort Xian couldn’t bear to eat it and let her son and daughter eat it.
Xiao Zhonghua didn’t eat. “The Internal Affairs Department will not neglect mine. Mother, eat. I’ll get someone to send it over later.”
Consort Xian said in pain, “There’s such a big basket. Forget it, my son is the crown prince. Mother is happy!”
Xiao Zhonghua sat down beside her. “Mother, I have just become the crown prince. Eldest Brother and Second Brother must be indignant. There are also many people in the court waiting for me to make a mistake. I’ll have to trouble you.”
Consort Xian sighed. “I know. I won’t steal the limelight from Kunning Palace.
As long as you’re fine, so what if I kowtow to the Empress every day?”
To be honest, Consort Xian had never thought of targeting the Empress.
The Empress was considered a virtuous person and never fought with the concubines in the harem for favor. She would not be jealous that they had given birth to a son.
During the year when Qixiang Palace was neglected, Jingning had always protected Hui An in Kunning Palace. The Empress did not say anything.
She was not an ungrateful person.
“I’m going to Jingning’s to eat lychees!”
Princess Hui An went to Kunning Palace to freeload on lychees with a clear conscience.
The news of the Great Zhou Crown Prince quickly spread throughout the capital.
Cheng Sang and Zongzheng Wei had no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the Great Zhou. Moreover, this was the result of the encouragement by the Qin, Wei, and Su families.
Su Xiaoxiao brought Cheng Sang and Zongzheng Wei to see her shop as well as Ergou’s.
Physician Fu and Manager Sun were so excited to see Su Xiaoxiao that they were about to cry.
Su Xiaoxiao told the two of them that her mother was from the Cheng family and introduced her grandmother and…
