Chapter 288 Fighting and Killing
Who could have imagined that the Queen would remain in favor for so many years?
The Fourth Prince was silent for a few breaths. "Queen...didn't Mother say anything else?"
Noble Lady Bai shook her head. "My mother has just exerted her strength, but the Queen has always been gentle and tolerant. I think she will accept it soon."
Concubine Bai was one of the concubines who entered the palace at the same time as Lan Qingwu. Back then, she had secretly complained about the Queen entering the palace beyond the age limit. However, now, the Queen has given birth to three children, but she is still as beautiful and charming as a young girl, without any signs of fatigue, while she herself has become old.
Concubine Bai felt unhappy. Was it because she was the only one favored by the emperor?
The Fourth Prince naturally had no idea what his mother was thinking: "My Queen Mother has always been like this."
He also felt a little complicated. The Queen had done righteous deeds for more than 20 years since she was a child. Most people could never do it.
Noble Lady Bai said, "Indeed, your mother treated all concubines equally, without bias, neither too much nor too little. Everything was just right. She never stopped receiving the necessary treatment, including annual salary, palace servants, rewards... She was not shy about discussing with Your Majesty the age at which to start martial arts training! She even treated us concubines the same way. If Concubine Wen had become Empress, the current situation would never have happened."
It's a pity that her son is growing up, and the little grace and reward that slipped through the fingers of His Majesty the Queen can no longer satisfy them, so they have to reach out, grab and fight for it themselves!
Noble Lady Bai calmed herself down. "Fortunately, the Sixth Prince is still young. From now on, mother will follow the Empress's lead and become her confidant and supporter. After a year or so, I will find an opportunity to recommend my son to the Sixth Prince's side. When you and the Sixth Prince are together, your status will be greatly improved, and your father will notice you. As he sees you more, he will naturally pay more attention to you than the other princes. Then, you can help your father solve his problems and show your talents at the right time. You will surely achieve great things!"
As for the Sixth Prince, he had always been the target of public criticism from both the former and harems. When the struggle became intense, with so many eyes watching and so many enemies, who knew what accidents would happen?
"Wasn't it that the current Queen Mother's eldest son, Prince An, was ambushed and had his right hand crippled? His future was cut short. If it weren't for his younger brother, who came from the same father and mother, ascending the throne, which brother would have been able to accommodate him, the eldest son?"
The Fourth Prince agreed deeply and nodded slightly, with a glint of determination and ambition in his dark eyes.
The mother and son continued talking for a long time until the head maid Bai Mei came in and reported: "Master, the little maid who changed your clothes yesterday..."
The Fourth Prince frowned and said, "What's going on?!
Noble Lady Bai said lightly, "It's nothing serious."
Then he turned to Bai Mei and said, "Let's find a place and kill him!"
He took the life of a little palace maid without even a wink.
After Bai Mei took the order and left, Concubine Bai said to the Fourth Prince, "The other day, Mother was talking to Bai Mei about something, and this little bitch seemed to have heard a word. We can't keep her any longer."
The Fourth Prince didn't take it seriously; she was just a little maid! "Since that's the case, let's deal with it!"
"But mother, you must avoid beating or killing palace maids in the future. If someone with ulterior motives sees you, all your efforts will be wasted.
Concubine Bai's character has changed from being quiet and gentle at the beginning to being a typical palace concubine today.
