Chapter 194 Bellyband
Chapter 194 Bellyband
It was hot in the summer and it was a bit stuffy to stay in the palace, so Jiang Lanzhi ordered the palace servants to spread mats on the long corridor under the eaves in front of the rear hall of Yilan Palace, so that the Eighth Prince, who had just learned to crawl, could move around on the mats.
"Mother's little Ba is so adorable!" Facing the adorable appearance of the baby she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy, Jiang Lanzhi's maternal love surged in her heart.
Dolls made of gold and silver threads and jade ornaments were scattered on the mat to attract the children's attention.
Jiang Lanzhi sat sideways on the steps in front of the palace gate with a smile on her face and a relaxed brow, one hand resting on a low table. She looked with soft eyes at a child wearing a red bellyband and with his bare bottom, who was arching his back and forth on a mat not far away.
The palace maids and eunuchs around were standing near or far away, some holding fruits, tea, snacks, or gently waving fans.
The morning sun is soft and the breeze is gentle.
"This red bellyband with a Qilin pattern is so well embroidered. The Qilin is so vivid. No wonder I fell in love with it at first sight. It is very suitable for our Xiao Ba."
"My dear, this Qilin red bellyband was not made by us at the Shangfu Bureau. You just snatched it away like that. Aren't you afraid that the Imperial Concubine Yi will cause trouble for you?"
Luzhu knelt in front of a small table beside Jiang Lanzhi, making tea as smoothly as flowing water.
"It's just a red bellyband. No matter how exquisitely it is embroidered, how difficult is it for the Fashion Bureau to make another one within the deadline?
Even if I can't complete the task and I am betrayed, although Imperial Concubine Yi holds a high position, she is just a paper tiger. I am not afraid of her.
Look at Concubine Hui, who had a deep grudge against her. The Fourth Prince she gave birth to is now old enough to go to school. He is often praised by His Majesty for being extremely smart and clever. The mother and son are becoming more and more proud.
I heard that the next time the six palaces are promoted to concubines, it is certain that Concubine Hui will be promoted to a concubine.
If I offend you for such a trivial matter as taking away a bellyband, then so be it. What can Concubine Yi do to me?
If she wants to be tolerant, generous, decent and gentle, she can't blame me casually, otherwise she will be hypocritical and fake. "
Jiang Lanzhi said softly.
If Meng Wuyue had been the one who poisoned Meng Xinghe and the Fourth Prince, she might have looked up to Meng Wuyue. However, that was not the case. Meng Wuyue was just someone's target.
She was also demoted from beauty to consort and was put in solitary confinement for three months. If it hadn't been for the demotion, she would have become an empress by now. How could she still be a noble without a title?
It makes me furious just thinking about it.
Jiang Lanzhi took a deep breath, closed her eyes and calmed down.
If someone killed her child, she would do everything she could to tear off the other person's flesh and blood, even if it meant a one-for-one exchange. No matter whether Meng Wu Yue was truly magnanimous or just pretending to be tolerant and unwilling to vent her anger on others, she would look down on such a person.
Prince Zhaohui, although he was only posthumously named prince, it's a pity.
"Is there any way to get me promoted? How can I make His Majesty like me more? And my father is the same, he is not motivated at all. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, all departments have been working hard and making contributions, but my father has no idea of making progress."
Jiang Lanzhi suddenly sighed and said in distress.
Luzhu lowered her head and didn't dare to respond to her. Jiang Lanzhi was just talking and didn't expect Luzhu to really share the same hatred with her. She would be angry if Luzhu followed her words and scolded her father to speak up for her.
“Although the eldest prince’s adoptive mother Shi Qingzhang was only a beauty, his biological mother was posthumously conferred the title of Imperial Consort Rou by His Majesty. After entering school, she even got in touch with the Liu family.
It’s better not to mention the third prince’s mother. She was an unlucky person like me who was implicated, demoted, and imprisoned for three months.
The fourth prince’s mother is Concubine Hui, the fifth prince’s mother is Concubine Zhi, the sixth prince’s mother is Concubine Zhen, and the seventh prince’s mother is Concubine Yi. They are all called Concubine, but I am just a small noble lady.
Later, Xiao Ba went to school and moved to Qilin Palace. However, because his mother was of low status, Xiao Ba was ostracized by his brothers. What should he do? "
Jiang Lanzhi looked at her son with a frown, filled with worry.
