Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1155 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 81

The Third Prince and Concubine Qi were naturally jealous of such wealth, but Concubine Qi knew that she had no face in front of Big Fatty, so she went to Jingren Palace again.

Jiang Xinxin knew why Concubine Qi came, and without waiting for Concubine Qi to speak, she directly refused: "Go back, I will not help the Third Prince."

Concubine Qi was unwilling to give up Jiang Xinxin's only hope, and knelt down and begged, "Empress, when you were in the palace, you also watched the Third Prince grow up. Besides, he has now married your niece as his wife, which is a close relationship. Please help the Third Prince."

Jiang Xinxin winked at Jianqiu and said, "Send Concubine Qi out."

Jianqiu responded with a "yes" and was about to go forward to pull Concubine Qi up and take her out. Concubine Qi quickly crawled a few steps on her knees and tried to pull Jiang Xinxin's clothes or sleeves, but Jiang Xinxin would not give her this opportunity. Jianqiu went straight to Concubine Qi, and together with Xiuxia, they helped Concubine Qi up and took her out.

Concubine Qi wanted to make more trouble, but Jiang Xinxin turned cold and scolded her, "Concubine Qi! There should be a limit to how much nonsense you can make."

"I no longer care about how you secretly admonished the Third Prince for making profits for the Li family and asked him to stay away from Jingren Palace. I cannot be as shameless as you."

"If you continue to be stubborn, I won't have to save face for you as a concubine with a prince. I will just throw you out."

Unfortunately, Jiang Xinxin underestimated Concubine Qi's determination. She even yelled in Jingren Palace. Jiang Xinxin had just returned from the Old Summer Palace and had just packed her things. She was just about to take a break, but Concubine Qi did this. Jiang Xinxin was so angry that she didn't give Concubine Qi any face, and even rejected the Third Prince's face.

"Jiang Fuhai, go inform the Third Prince to come over and take his mother to the Yangxin Palace!"

"I want to see, since I have no children, will I be troubled by a concubine and a bastard?!"

Concubine Qi did not expect Jiang Xinxin's attitude to be so tough. Not to mention that Jiang Xinxin did not go to the Yangxin Palace to make a scene, even if these words were accidentally spread out today, her Hongshi would be labeled as an unfilial mother. How could he have a good future?

Concubine Qi was really regretting it. She thought she could use the evidence that Jiang Xinxin had used to train the Third Prince to make her continue to help Hongshi, but she didn't expect that she could easily control them mother and son with her status as the legal mother.

Concubine Qi came and caused such a scene, Jiang Xinxin would not help her cover up, and Concubine Shun and Concubine Qi both had princes as their own children, and they now had a tacit understanding with each other. They used this incident to completely characterize the Third Prince Hongshi as a stupid person, but then framed the Fourth Prince, making it seem as if the Third Prince had been instigated by the Fourth Prince to do so, trying to bring both the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince down to dust.

Rumors were spreading in the palace for a while. Jiang Xinxin was no pushover and she quickly investigated the methods of Shunpin and Qipin. Jingfei and Shenpin also tried their best to stop them and beat up a few people who were spreading the rumors. Finally, the rumors were controlled in the palace and did not spread out.

When Fat Ju saw that the harem was in chaos, he immediately reprimanded the Third and Fourth Princes, and also punished Concubine Qi by confining her to her house for a month.

The Third Prince didn't know what was going on. He just kept crying out for injustice and was somewhat dissatisfied with the treatment given by Da Pangju. When he pleaded with Da Pangju, he remembered that Concubine Qi was his biological mother, and did not mention a word about Concubine Qi's offense against Queen Jiang Xinxin.

The Fourth Prince couldn't help but feel sorry for his stepmother Jiang Xinxin when he heard this. Even though Jiang Xinxin had given up on him, her third brother, after entering the palace, in his opinion, it was a wise move for Jiang Xinxin to give up on her third brother, because the Third Prince himself was incompetent and could not take on the responsibility of governing this vast empire.

It's normal for the Third Prince to feel resentful about being abandoned, but he must never express it publicly. Firstly, he is a junior and it is easy for him to be criticized for harboring resentment towards his elders. Secondly, his stepmother Jiang Xinxin just doesn't support him to ascend to the throne, which is not a big deal.

After listening to his third son's words, Fat Orange felt that life was unpredictable. He thought that he had been a hero in his life, but in the end he raised a son like this!

Seeing that the Fourth Prince beside him vaguely showed his disapproval towards the Third Prince, Big Fat Orange pointed to the Fourth Prince and said, "Fourth Prince, tell me, there were rumors in the palace that you instigated the Third Prince to go to Jingren Palace to cause trouble. What's going on?"

The Fourth Prince had also heard the rumor and had already come up with a countermeasure. He was about to speak when the Third Prince spoke first.

"You are such a good Fourth Brother! I was wondering why you kept saying things like I would be more respectable in front of the Empress Dowager if I married her niece. It turns out you had planned that I would complain to Mother, so you were instigating her to go to the Empress Dowager and make trouble!"

The Third Prince thought that by pushing this matter out to the Fourth Prince to take the blame, not only could he avoid his mother, Concubine Qi, from being confined to her house, but he could also take advantage of the situation to accuse the popular Fourth Prince of being unfilial. However, he did not notice that Fatty Orange and the Fourth Prince looked at each other with helpless expressions.

After being disturbed by the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince felt that he didn't need to say the words he had prepared before, so he simply knelt down and admitted his fault: "Father, I was wrong. I shouldn't have used the relationship between Third Sister-in-law and Empress Dowager to talk about it. This matter was caused by my careless words. Please punish me, Father."

The Fourth Prince had thought it through long ago. It would not be good if there was discord among the princes in the palace or if the princes did not know filial piety and brotherly love, so he guessed that many people must know the truth of the matter. Therefore, he planned to take a light charge on himself early on and put an end to the matter first. He would definitely reap the rewards in the future.

The Fourth Prince really didn't expect that the Third Prince would be so brainless. When everyone wanted to cover their mouths and let the matter pass quickly, he insisted on doing so, fearing that the matter would become a big deal!

Now the Fourth Prince felt that his previous vigilance and attention towards his Third Brother, who grew up with his biological father, was simply a joke.

Big Fat Orange sighed and casually punished the Fourth Prince to copy "The Analects of Confucius" ten times. The Third Prince did not understand the situation clearly and was still unwilling to give in. He asked Big Fat Orange why he did not punish the Fourth Prince more severely, since the Fourth Prince had clearly made such a big mistake.

Big Fat Ju had completely lost his patience with the Third Prince. He simply scolded him and told him to go back to study. The previously scheduled court hearing was postponed again.

The Third Prince was upset and went back to scold Qingying.

Qingying had already found out everything, and naturally understood that the whole thing was caused by Concubine Qi and the Third Prince, and they would be unhappy if others did not take action. However, the concubines in the harem saw that the Third Prince and Concubine Qi had revealed such a big flaw, and of course they were unwilling to miss this opportunity easily.

However, Qingying also knew that the Third Prince was not someone who would listen to advice, so she just put on a dying look and was distracted, not paying any attention to the Third Prince's words that explicitly hinted at her to go to Jingren Palace to plead for mercy.
