Chapter 339 There Will Be a Time when You Will Keep Silent!

"Zhan'er, don't be so presumptuous!"

At this time, amidst a burst of sarcastic laughter, a stern voice sounded.

And the person who spoke was actually Concubine Zhao Shu.

Hearing Concubine Zhao Shu address the third prince, it seemed that she was actually the mother of the third prince.

Li Xuan was immediately very surprised. He looked at the rough-looking third prince, and then looked at Concubine Zhao Shu, who was elegant, dignified and virtuous in the pavilion.

"They don't look like mother and son at all."

Li Xuan could only sigh that the world is so big and full of wonders.

It seems that the third prince did not inherit Concubine Zhao Shu's excellent genes at all.

The third prince was already on the verge of a rage, but as Concubine Zhao Shu spoke, he immediately became honest.

Although his big face was still red, he walked to the pavilion honestly and came to Concubine Zhao Shu to pay respects respectfully.

"The son pays respects to the mother."

The eighth prince, who was hiding behind Concubine Zhao Shu, could not help but stand up straight and followed the salute.

But the Third Prince didn't seem to care much about this, he just cared about Concubine Zhao Shu.

"This guy is big and strong, but he listens to his mother very much."

Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little funny.

In his eyes, the Third Prince was also a person with a distinct personality.

Although he didn't know where he got such a strong hostility towards Princess Ankang and the Eighth Prince, since he listened to Concubine Zhao Shu so much, Li Xuan couldn't help but start to think more.

"Concubine Zhao Shu is a concubine of the nobles. Did Concubine Xiao have conflicts with them before?"

Li Xuan has been in the palace for so long, and it seems that he has not met Concubine Xiao's friends among these nobles.

"It can't be that Concubine Xiao was in a state of being an enemy in the harem before she was banished to the cold palace?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little headache.

Speaking of which, except for the last time he spent with Concubine Xiao in Jingyang Palace, Li Xuan really knew very little about Concubine Xiao's past.

"If I have a chance in the future, I really have to ask about Concubine Xiao's past. Why do so many people in the palace dislike her?"

Because in Li Xuan's impression, Concubine Xiao is a good person.

Gentleness and kindness are her most profound impression of Concubine Xiao.

Princess Ankang has suffered so much injustice since she was a child, but she can still maintain a kind heart and not complain about the world, all thanks to the teaching of her mother.

But such a good person, not many people in the palace like her, it's really too abnormal.

"Zhan'er, you rarely return to the palace, you can't conflict with your brothers and sisters as soon as you come back?"

"Didn't I often tell you that family members should live in harmony."

"You always act so recklessly, everyone will not only laugh at you, but also laugh at me as a mother for not educating you well."

Concubine Zhao Shu educated the third prince in a gentle tone.

But these words made the eighth prince look ugly, and he snorted and walked out of the pavilion.

The third prince felt much better when he saw the eighth prince was driven out of the pavilion. He happily responded to Concubine Zhao's words and humbly accepted his mother's teachings.

While the eighth prince was still not far away, Concubine Zhao said again:

"Okay, my son, you can correct your mistakes, which is a great virtue."

"Come here and let your mother take a good look. I haven't seen you for half a year. You have grown taller."

The third prince immediately stood up and sat next to Concubine Zhao. The mother and son held hands and kept in touch. The relationship between the mother and son looked very harmonious.

Judging from their expressions and behaviors, they didn't seem to be pretending, but they also had a very obvious meaning of showing it to others.

As for who to show it to...

Li Xuan couldn't help but squint slightly and took a good look at Concubine Zhao for the first time.

Looking at the people in the garden again, they had stopped sneering and turned their eyes to the figure who escaped from the pavilion.

It seemed that the third prince finally admitted his mistake and calmed down the matter today, but it was obvious that someone else was injured.

"These people actually use this kind of thing as a weapon to attack others."

Li Xuan felt chilled for these nobles in the harem.

What made Li Xuan even more dissatisfied was that this map cannon also affected Princess Ankang.

The Eighth Prince returned to the three little ones with a somewhat unnatural look, and then said hello:

"It's boring here, I'm leaving first."

"What I said before is still true. If you need something, send someone to me."

The Eighth Prince was about to leave the Imperial Garden.

At this time, Princess Ankang suddenly called the Eighth Prince.

"My dear brother."

The Eighth Prince turned around and looked at Princess Ankang.

"It's rare for me to go out today. I wonder if it's convenient for me to visit you and let me pick a horse by the way?"

The Eighth Prince's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that this was the first time that Princess Ankang called him like this. In the past, she always called him the emperor brother politely.

Then, the Eighth Prince looked up at everyone in the Imperial Garden, nodded, and agreed directly.

"Okay, Ankang, just come back with me."

The Eighth Prince rarely felt that he was not alone facing everyone's gaze.

This feeling has not been felt for a long time since he lost his mother.

The Eighth Prince walked back a few steps, came to Yu'er's side, and said to her:

"Let me do it."

"I haven't tried to push Ankang for a walk in the palace yet."

The Eighth Prince smiled, as if the previous unhappiness had been forgotten by him.

At this time, the untimely voice of the Third Prince sounded again.

"Old Eight, don't hurt her."

The Third Prince paused meaningfully for a moment, and then continued:

"Ankang is so weak, how can she ride a horse?"

"Not to mention riding a horse to participate in the autumn hunt."

"Ankang, Old Eight is confused, are you confused too?"

"Don't be stupid with him, or you will end up losing your life."

"You can live longer if you stay in Jingyang Palace peacefully, right?"

The Third Prince's words seemed to be concerned, but every word was meaningful.

Li Xuan also discovered that this guy was not as reckless as he looked on the outside, at least he had the right sense of proportion in his words.

His seemingly reckless appearance allowed him to say excessive words without restraint.

But this excessiveness was also controlled to a certain degree, and would not be used by others to make a fuss.

Even if someone wanted to use this to attack him, his own personality was a good excuse.

Li Xuan couldn't help but turn his eyes to Concubine Zhao Shu, thinking silently in his heart:

"You have taught a good son."

Princess Ankang listened quietly to the third prince's words, then smiled slightly, and even her eyes narrowed into a beautiful crescent shape.

"Thank you for your concern, third brother. Ankang must pay attention to safety."

Princess Ankang said, and suddenly stood up from the wheelchair and bowed properly.

As Princess Ankang suddenly stood up, the imperial garden suddenly fell into silence, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on Princess Ankang.

Watching her stand up from the wheelchair so easily, these nobles felt completely unfamiliar, and some of them didn't dare to recognize that the smiling girl in front of them was the famous sick princess in the palace.

They had naturally heard the rumor that Doctor Xue treated Princess Ankang and made progress.

But hearing rumors is one thing, and seeing it with your own eyes is another.

From the moment Princess Ankang stood up in public, many things would become different.

This was something that everyone knew.

Li Xuan was held in Princess Ankang's arms, and looking at everyone's wonderful expressions, he couldn't help but feel happy.

"Wait, there will be many times in the future when you dare not say anything again!"

After Princess Ankang bowed to the Third Prince, she glanced at the silent Imperial Garden, then turned to the Eighth Prince and said:

"My dear, let's go."

Princess Ankang stood up, so the Eighth Prince naturally had no need to continue pushing the wheelchair.

"Oh, oh..."

The Eighth Prince agreed, and then he left the Imperial Garden with Princess Ankang and a group of attendants.

It was not until their figures completely disappeared at the entrance of the Imperial Garden that the hustle and bustle resumed here.

A buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the Imperial Garden, and they were all talking about Princess Ankang.

The third prince looked even more gloomy, and asked Zhao Shufei beside him:

"Mother, is her health really good?" Zhao Shufei shook her head, picked up the tea in front of her and sipped it, and then said slowly:

"Who knows, anyway, it's just the news that has been reported recently."

"I heard that Doctor Xue has made new progress in Princess Ankang's condition, which is why she can walk on the ground."

"It is said that the disease cannot be cured, but it is like this now, and it is uncertain in the future."

The third prince sneered and took over the conversation:

"There will be autumn hunting this month, and she will be able to walk on the ground. How can it be such a coincidence."

As soon as these words came out, the pavilion became quiet.

The third prince and Zhao Shufei did not speak, and the other concubines in the pavilion pretended not to hear.

Beside Zhao Shufei were concubines who depended on her, most of whom belonged to the same noble party, and they were all considered her own people.

Among them were Feng Zhaoyuan and Wang Suyue.

Wang Suyue has left Yanqu Hall and officially became one of Emperor Yongyuan's concubines, but her rank is still low, so she can only sit on the edge near the entrance of the pavilion.

She looked at the direction where Princess Ankang left, wondering what she was thinking.

Today was her first time to attend a party in the Imperial Garden.

Logically speaking, she had no children yet, so she didn't have to care about this competition at all.

But as a newly promoted concubine and a member of the nobles, she had to meet others.

Especially Concubine Zhao Shu, who was an existence that she could not avoid in her future career as a concubine.

But what she saw and heard today overturned her cognition.

Wang Suyue never thought that these nobles in the palace would make things so difficult for two children who had lost their mother.

Even the princes and princesses would be treated like this, which made Wang Suyue a little unacceptable.

But she still remembered Feng Zhaoyuan's reminder to her before attending the party: listen more and talk less, and don't say anything if you can.

But Wang Suyue is now a little afraid to even listen.

"Even if Beiliang disappeared in the cold wave, she is still a threat." The third prince said abruptly. The other concubines immediately lowered their heads. Concubine Zhao Shu saw the reactions of everyone in the pavilion, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. She was conveying her message to them through the mouth of the third prince. There were some things that Concubine Zhao Shu could not say herself, but she had to let the concubines under her know clearly what she meant. "Ankang is also a poor child."

Concubine Zhao Shu said so, and put down the teacup that she had been playing with for a long time.

"It's rare for you to come back, so you should perform well in this autumn hunt and let your father see your progress."

As she spoke, Concubine Zhao Shu gave the third prince a subtle wink.

The third prince immediately understood that the fire was enough, and he didn't need to continue to add fuel to the fire.

He glanced at the concubines in the pavilion. Although many of them were the first time he saw them, he could still match them in his mind.

Because behind each concubine was a noble family.

These were his capital and the cooperative relationship that needed to be maintained.

He would not allow anyone to betray him and turn to others.

"Got it, mother."

The third prince agreed, picked up a piece of cake on the table and threw it into his mouth, swallowing it whole like a cow chewing a peony.

"By the way, did you have a smooth trip with Lan Ruo in the army this time?"

"Ninth sister beheaded thirty people and made military achievements, which have been recorded."

The third prince smiled proudly and raised his hand to greet.

Looking in the direction of his greeting, he saw that in a corner of the imperial garden, the girl who had followed him back earlier was standing obediently in front of a concubine, as if she was being taught a lesson.

The third prince and Concubine Zhao Shu looked over there together, and both of them couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, as long as Lan Ruo is still willing to go, you continue to take her."

The third prince naturally nodded in response to Concubine Zhao Shu's order.

After saying this, the third prince and Concubine Zhao Shu started chatting about family matters, and stopped talking about those sensitive topics, which made the atmosphere in the pavilion lively.

Other concubines could also interject a few words, but most of them were praising the third prince.

Wang Suyue had just arrived, so she watched, listened and learned more.

Feng Zhaoyuan was relieved to see that her cousin had controlled her temper and stopped talking nonsense.

…

On the other side.

Princess Ankang and the Eighth Prince left the Imperial Garden and headed for the Eighth Prince's residence, Xiaoyao Villa.

"Ankang, you are walking so well now."

The Eighth Prince was amazed, watching Princess Ankang's long legs take vigorous steps, and she didn't look like she was in a wheelchair all year round.

"It's all thanks to Doctor Xue's medical skills."

Princess Ankang lied without blushing or panting.

"It's always good to be in better health, otherwise you won't be able to stick to this autumn hunt."

"The environment of the Forbidden Garden is not as good as the Imperial Garden, not to mention the fast-running prey."

"You will definitely not be able to catch up with them in a wheelchair."

The Eighth Prince seemed to have a lot of hunting experience, and he spoke very well.

But compared to these, Princess Ankang wanted to know why the Third Prince had such great malice towards the Eighth Prince.

"My dear brother, what's the matter between you and the third prince?"

"We just don't like each other, what else could it be."

The eighth prince snorted, obviously getting angry when the third prince was mentioned.
