Chapter 417 Everyone noticed the abnormality of the third prince
Hearing Shen Zhinian's praise, Xuepin didn't say anything, but her ears turned red.
After today, the second princess should follow her.
With the child, her life has new hope.
Moreover...she had no interest in the emperor's favor before because she was disheartened. From now on, even for the sake of the second princess, she had to cheer up!
Otherwise, what good future could a princess who is not favored by His Majesty have?
Someone asked in confusion: "Today is the Second Princess's full moon ceremony, why hasn't Concubine Zhou come out yet?"
When the third prince's full-month birthday came, Concubine De dressed up in her best attire and stole the show.
Someone covered their mouth and laughed.
With that look on her face, Concubine Zhou must be too embarrassed to show her face in public.
Of course, even if she thought so in her heart, she would not say it out loud in such an occasion.
Concubine Xue was worried and said, "Madam Concubine Rou, I will go in and take a look."
Shen Zhinian nodded slightly, but she was not feeling well and did not follow.
Inner room.
Concubine Zhou had not yet dressed up. She just hugged the Second Princess and kept crying: "My daughter...from today on, mother can no longer be with you. You must listen to Concubine Xue's words in the future."
"Empress Xuepin is your biological mother. From now on, just pretend that I don't exist..."
Caiyi wiped her tears and said, "My young lady..."
"Didn't Concubine Xue say that she raised the Second Princess, and you will always be the Second Princess's biological mother? Why are you so sad?"
Concubine Zhou did not answer, but just said: "Caiyi, after today, you will follow the second princess to the Yanxi Palace and take good care of her."
"When I'm not around the Second Princess, you have to do your best for me..."
Caiyi asked in surprise: "My lord, what are you going to do?"
At this time, a young palace maid came in and urged: "My lady, all the ladies in the palace have arrived, you have to go out."
Concubine Zhou shook her head and said, "Today is the day when the Second Princess will embark on a beautiful life. Why should I, a cripple, go out and embarrass her?"
"Just say I'm sick and won't be attending. Leave the Second Princess to Concubine Xue..."
Xuepin came in from outside and sighed when she heard this.
But she also understood that since her arm was broken, Concubine Zhou no longer liked to see people.
It may not be a good thing to force her to go out at this time and let her endure so many strange looks.
outside.
"Empress Defei is here!!"
Today, Concubine De was wearing an apricot-red Tianhua brocade palace dress and slowly walked in. The color was bright but not vulgar, and the patterns embroidered on the hem were intricate but not messy.
With her gentle and graceful temperament, she is such a beauty!
Everyone bowed at the same time: "Your humble servant/concubine greets Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine. May Your Majesty be blessed with good fortune and peace!"
Concubine De said in a gentle voice: "Sisters, there is no need to be polite. Please stand up."
"Thank you, Madam Defei!"
After she stood up, many people's eyes first fell on Concubine De's nose.
Some lower-ranking palace concubines who rarely had the opportunity to see Concubine De were filled with curiosity.
I have heard that Concubine De fell off the sedan chair and broke her nose, but I don't know whether it is true or not.
When they saw it today, everyone was surprised!
Empress Defei's face is like a work carefully carved by God, it is so beautiful beyond words!
Especially the small nose, which is straight and delicate, and doesn’t look crooked at all!
At this time, Concubine Liu and Concubine Liang also arrived.
After everyone finished greeting each other, Concubine Liu glanced at Concubine De, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes: "Oh, Concubine De's nose has healed?"
"Be careful next time you ride in a sedan chair, otherwise if you fall off again, I don't know if the imperial doctors still have such good medical skills."
Sure enough, Concubine Liu is still the same Concubine Liu. Even if she is humble in front of the emperor, she cannot change her arrogant and hot-tempered nature at other times.
To this day, Concubine De still believes that the sedan chair incident was done by people from Yongshou Palace.
Hearing Concubine Liu's words, her face was gloomy for a moment, but soon replaced with an impeccable smile: "Thank you for your concern, Concubine. I will be careful!"
There is no way she would fall in the same place twice!
Shen Zhinian was a little confused.
Because Tang Luochuan had told her privately that Nangong Xuanyu was dissatisfied with what Defei had done and had instructed the Imperial Hospital not to put much effort into treating Defei.
The imperial physicians said that Concubine De's nose would be difficult to recover, so how come it suddenly got better after not seeing her for a while?
Although today is the second princess's full moon ceremony, how can a sick princess compare to the dignity of your majesty's eldest son? Many people gathered around the nurse holding the third prince, and kept complimenting her.
However, gradually, some people noticed something was wrong...
"Children change every day. Before I entered the palace, I saw my sister-in-law taking care of children. My nephew grew a lot in just a few months. The third prince is already more than five months old, but why does he look so much thinner than a normal five-month-old child?"
"Also... don't you think that the Third Prince's head is a little small compared to his body? And his appearance seems different from the other children..."
"It seems a little bit... The Third Prince's eyes are a little small, his eyes are far apart, and his nose is low..."
"..."
When Concubine De heard these words, she could hardly maintain the gentle smile on her face.
Of course, she had already discovered what they were talking about.
Moreover, every time the third prince drank milk, he sucked weakly, and it usually took several wet nurses a long time to feed him.
However, it was not just her. His Majesty also sent imperial physicians to examine the Third Prince several times.
Although the imperial doctors also noticed that the third prince was a little different from ordinary babies, they had never seen such a situation before and did not dare to jump to conclusions. They only said that perhaps every child has a different constitution, so they should take good care of him and wait and see.
Concubine De has always placed high hopes on the Third Prince and cannot bear to hear anyone say anything bad about him.
Her son will inherit the throne in the future, how can these ignorant concubines discuss it? !
Seeing Concubine De's expression, some lower-ranking concubines who wanted to curry favor with her said, "What do you know? The Imperial Hospital didn't even say that the Third Prince had any problems. Are you better than the Imperial Physician?"
"Since ancient times, which extraordinary man didn't have a face that was different from that of an ordinary person?"
"Yes! I've heard that the founder of a certain dynasty had a face that looked like a shoe horn!"
"Our Third Prince was born different from ordinary people. He will definitely be extraordinary in the future!"
"..."
Concubine De felt much more comfortable, with a gentle smile on her face, and said modestly: "I just hope that the Third Prince will live a happy life, that's enough!"
Concubine Liu stood in the distance and watched this scene. She sneered, "What are you so proud of? It's like she's the only one who can give birth to a son!"
Soon, the emperor and Empress Dowager Liu arrived, and everyone quickly stood up and saluted.
After sitting down, Empress Dowager Liu looked at Shen Zhinian gently and asked with concern: "Concubine Rou should be giving birth in more than a month, right?"
