Chapter 996 Waiting for Opportunity
"It seems that the prince has a big plan this time. Let me guess how he plans to use it."
Ripple's lips curved slightly, he opened his bright eyes and said with a smile.
"Master, take a guess."
"Since it is a plan, it is to wait for the second prince and the third prince to kill in front of the emperor, and then he, the prince, will jump out to protect them. When the time comes, it will be more justified to kill his two younger brothers. After all, he wants to protect his father.
As for me and my three children, the prince will never let the three children be harmed in the slightest. After all, the children are also the bargaining chips for him to ascend the throne. But it is different for me. I am such a sick man. If this palace change happens, It's probably normal for something to happen.
The prince has probably even thought about my posthumous title. As for the queen, she must be eager for me, a sick man, to give up the throne and marry a healthy and noble woman for his son, so that she can win over the civil servants for the prince.
Is my guess right? "
Ripple asked calmly.
After listening to Ripple's words, Xuanfeng kept nodding his head, with an expression that said Master, you are so awesome, you can guess this, and his cat eyes narrowed.
"Master, what are you going to do?"
"Since they've included me, I can't live up to their hard work. It's still unclear who will win!"
Lianyi had already gotten out of the bathtub, put on her brocade lining, held Xuanfeng in her arms, walked out of the shower room, sat in front of the dressing mirror, and asked Lanzhi to help her wet her hair.
Lanzhi saw the little kitten in Lianyi's arms and said with some surprise:
"Princess, I haven't seen Whirlwind much in the past two days. I don't know where he went to play. He came back so late."
Ripple stroked the whirlwind's fur and said with a smile:
"The whirlwind caught all the rats in the East Palace, so I went to other palaces to catch rats. I only came back after being wild enough."
"The whirlwind is so powerful. Since he came, I have never heard the sound of a mouse again."
Lanzhi carefully wiped Ripple's wet hair while chatting.
"That's natural. Our whirlwind is very powerful. I'm not in good health and can't walk around the palace, so don't restrain him."
After turning off the lights, Lianyi lay on the Babu bed, and then asked Duoduo to do something. The next day, Lianyi led a large number of people to Fengqi Palace to pay respects to the queen.
The queen looked at the ripples for a while and then said:
"You child, your face looks better now. Why did you come here to pay my respects to me? The imperial doctor said that you should take good care of yourself. It won't be a good thing if you get wind when you go out for a walk."
Lianyi bowed respectfully, and then said a little embarrassedly:
"Mother is worried. Lianyi's health is getting better, but she just misses her child so much."
After saying that, he looked at the queen with hope.
The queen naturally understood what Lianyi meant, so she waved her hand to the nanny beside her and said:
"Go and bring the children and show them to the Crown Princess. As the royal grandmother, I have not treated them badly."
"The Queen Mother's words are serious. It's too late for the Queen Mother to love the three of them. How could she treat them badly? It's because I miss them so much."
Ripple immediately complimented.
After a while, the children were carried out by three clean and decent nannies. Lianyi touched the children's little hands and faces one by one, and then asked the nannies to send the children to the inner hall.
"Don't worry now!"
The queen asked with raised eyebrows.
"With my mother here, I will naturally feel at ease."
"Lianyi, I know you want to have a child. It's not that I won't let you see the child. It's just that you have just recovered from a serious illness and your body is still weak. Furthermore, the place where you live needs to be thoroughly cleaned and you need to provide all the necessary items for recuperation. All need to be replaced.
The child is too young. If your illness is over, you will still be the one who suffers. Once you have made arrangements, I will send the three children back to the East Palace. It is better for the children to stay with their mother. "
The queen's words were reasonable and well-founded. Everything was for the sake of the children and for the sake of Lianyi's body. Naturally, Lianyi would not refute, but instead smiled and praised the queen for her thoughtfulness.
"They are both mothers. The prince was raised by me, so he is naturally more experienced than you."
The queen saw that Lianyi was not entangled and would not take the child away now, so her expression became more kind.
After chatting for a while, Lianyi took the servants back to the East Palace, and then said to Lanzhi and Grandma Sun beside him:
"Did you all hear what the Queen said just now?"
"Yes, Crown Princess, all the servants have heard it."
"Then you should arrange manpower to clean the East Palace thoroughly so that my three babies can be brought back."
"yes!"
Because they wanted to welcome the three young princes back, no one dared to neglect them after the order was passed down. The maids and eunuchs of the East Palace took action that day.
After the news reached the queen, she expressed that she was very satisfied. This was the effect she wanted. If those people believed that the three children were with her, wouldn't they have to attack Fengqi Palace? Who would guarantee her safety then?
It's better to throw the hot potato out before anything happens. Although that is her grandson, as long as his son secures that position, she will naturally not be short of grandchildren.
The empress's approach was naturally discussed with her son. Although the prince was a little unhappy, this was his mother after all. When he ascended to that position, he would have to rely on his mother to control the harem. Besides, there was also Meng Lianyi to deal with. In the end, he nodded in agreement.
Lianyi spent three days cleaning up the East Palace and even changed the furnishings in the East Palace. On the fourth day, he finally got all three children back as he wished.
The three nannies were all arranged by the Queen, so they looked a little arrogant. However, they were not rude when facing Lianyi, but they were just unwilling to let Lanzhi and Nanny Sun take care of the children.
"Princess, they are bullying others too much."
Lanzhi was the first to say unhappily.
"It doesn't matter. The child has just changed places and needs two days to adapt. It is better to stay with someone familiar. If anything goes wrong with the child, I will settle the account with them. You don't have to worry about not having the chance to take care of the child."
Ripple's words were vague, but the meaning was also very clear, telling them not to be anxious.
The three nannies saw that Lianyi did not attack them, and each of them was assigned a palace maid to help them take care of the child. After they looked at each other, they became more and more interested in the child.
That night, the prince rarely came over to communicate with Ripple in a soft voice, and talked about the three children's 100-day banquet.
"The children's baptisms were simply done in the East Palace. Mainly because you were still in bed and recuperating at that time, and I also had to deal with those people who attacked you and the children when you gave birth, so I wronged the children.
This time I went to ask my father specifically, thinking of giving my child a lively 100-day banquet. "
Lianyi was leaning in the prince's arms at this time. After listening to the other party's words, the corner of his lips curved with a hint of irony. It was fake to give the child a hundred-day banquet, but it was true to create opportunities for the second and third princes to take action.
