Chapter 120 I Want to Be the Queen Mother (13)

Fang Qingci said, "Oh, they are concubines given to the prince by my mother. They are not mine, so I can't give them to you. If you want them, go ask my mother for them!"

"Are they all the prince's concubines?" Chen Yao pointed at the women next to her in surprise and said in disbelief.

How could she not know? She thought the prince only had a few of them.

Fang Qingci nodded and said affirmatively, "That's right!"

Concubine Hui did say at that time that it was given to Qin Yu.

Chen Yao's mouth twitched. The prince's concubine? Why did she feel that these people were more like Fang Qingci's concubines?

Chen Yao walked away in a daze.

After Chen Yao left, Fang Qingci's face darkened. He waved his hand, gave them some rewards and let them go back, then asked He Yue to check on Su Su.

With Chen Yao's intelligence, she would not have thought of asking her to make the decision. Most likely, she was instigated by someone behind the scenes.

If nothing unexpected happens, that person should be Su Su.

She used Chen Yao to deal with Qin Yu's new favorite Yunniang, and then she sat back and reaped the benefits. This calm and composed woman like Sister Ju is also a person who can use her brain.

Unfortunately, she is not a fool.

He Yue came back soon and told Fang Qingci that Chen Yao had indeed met Su Su before looking for her.

Fang Qingci sneered, want to use her as a knife! Tsk, very brave.

Fang Qingci directly grounded Su Su on the grounds that she gave Chen Yao birth control pills.

This is true. In order to give birth to a child earlier, Su Su did give Chen Yao contraceptive pills.

Fang Qingci didn't care about the open and secret fights between the two before, but if Su Su uses her tricks on her, don't blame her for chopping off her hands.

On the surface, Fang Qingci's punishment for Su Su seemed not very severe, just house arrest. It would be the same as usual after a while.

But the problem is that Chen Yao is the niece of Concubine Hui, and Concubine Hui is counting on Chen Yao to give birth to a grandson with Chen blood. When Qin Yu inherits the throne in the future, this grandson will be a prince. They even want the next emperor and the next emperor to have Chen blood.

Su Su gave Chen Yao an infertility drug, which touched Concubine Hui's sore spot.

Fang Qingci did not hide it. After the news reached the palace, Concubine Hui immediately sent several maids to the palace to teach Concubine Su the rules.

The next day, Chen Yao asked Fang Qing for permission and went to the palace to pay her respects to Concubine Hui.

After reporting the complaint to Concubine Hui, Chen Yao hesitated for a while and then asked Concubine Hui for the person she wanted.

He also specifically asked for those who could dance and sing.

Concubine Hui looked at her strangely and asked, "What do you want the palace maid to sing for?"

Could it be that she wanted to use palace maids to secure her favor? Concubine Hui frowned, not understanding Chen Yao's approach. She was not pregnant, so why did she need palace maids to secure her favor? Just as she was about to have a good talk with her, Chen Yao spoke.

"I also want to be like Fang Qingci and listen to some music when I have nothing to do. I stay in the mansion every day and can't go out. It's really boring. Aunt, please give me a few palace maids to kill time. You can give people to Fang Qingci, why can't you give a few to me!" Thinking that Concubine Hui would not agree, Chen Yao hurriedly hugged her arm and said coquettishly.

Concubine Hui was stunned for a moment. "You said that Fang Qingci had nothing to do and asked those people to sing for her?"

Chen Yao nodded, pouted, and said enviously, "Yes, two are dancing, two are playing music, one is singing, one is massaging her head, one is massaging her feet, one is feeding her fruit, and one is fanning her. She is so comfortable."

Concubine Hui was silent.

It turns out that she was really given to Fang Qingci in the first place.

Chen Yao begged repeatedly, "Aunt, I want it too!"

Although she had no shortage of maids to serve her, how could she be so thoughtful!

Concubine Hui: ...

What kind of magic power does Fang Qingci have? She has even led her decent niece astray.

Concubine Hui was annoyed by Chen Yao and had no choice but to choose some people for her. In the end, Chen Yao left the palace contentedly with the six palace maids.

Of course, in name, these people were still concubines given to Qin Yu by Concubine Hui.

I don’t know what Concubine Hui thinks, but Chen Yao tells everyone this.

Just now, Concubine Hui gave ten concubines to the wife of Prince Huai to take back with her. Then, the concubine of Prince Huai went to the palace and brought back six more palace maids.

After all, the concubine of Prince Huai was her niece, but he was still so ruthless. Now everyone in the palace knows how eager Concubine Hui is to have a grandson.

Some people even doubted whether Prince Huai was really incompetent, otherwise why would Concubine Hui be so eager to send people in?

Qin Yu:......

He got the title, but he didn't enjoy any of the blessings, okay?

Fang Qingci was also stunned by Chen Yao's bold move.

She really just said it casually at the time, and she never thought that Chen Yao would actually go to Concubine Hui to ask for the person.

I don’t know what Concubine Hui’s mood is now.

Concubine Hui was in a very complicated mood. After Chen Yao went back, she summoned Fang Qingci to the palace the next day.

Fang Qingci thought that Concubine Hui was going to cause trouble for her, but then Concubine Hui just stared at her for a long time with a meaningful look, said nothing, sighed, and let her go back.

This made Fang Qingci confused.

Concubine Hui: She really couldn’t understand Fang Qingci’s approach.

Although her son's wife and concubines seemed to be living in harmony in the backyard, she always felt something was strange.

There are quite a few people in Qin Yu's backyard at present. Before Qin Yu got married, Concubine Hui gave him four palace maids to teach him how to handle human affairs. Later, Qin Yu and Fang Qingci got married and brought back ten palace maids. Then there were Chen Yao and Su Su, two concubines. Qin Yu married Yunniang, a good girl from outside. Now, with the addition of the six palace maids that Chen Yao brought back from Concubine Hui, more than twenty women are considered a lot compared to other princes' mansions.

However, these people are nominally Qin Yu's women.

But in fact, Qin Yu's women were only Yunniang, Chen Yao, Su Su, and the four palace maids who taught him human affairs.

Qin Yu had never touched the ten palace maids that Fang Qingci brought back, mainly because he had driven them out on the first day. Later, when he saw them trying so hard to please Fang Qingci, he always felt something was wrong.

As for the person Chen Yao brought back, Qin Yu had never seen him at all.

Chen Yao was smart. If she asked someone to serve her, then they would serve her.

She didn't let them see Qin Yu at all, because she didn't want to find a love rival for herself.

However, apart from not allowing them to serve Qin Yu, Chen Yao was still nice to them and was very generous in rewarding them every time.

As for whether those people think it is good or not, it all depends on what they think.

Su Su was under house arrest, Chen Yao was unable to win the favor, and Yunniang was almost the only one favored by Qin Yu in the palace.

Such days continued until the Double Ninth Festival.

On the day of Double Ninth Festival, a banquet was held in the palace. The princes brought their families to the palace to attend the banquet.

The prince's concubines also have ranks and can go to the palace to attend banquets. Fang Qingci took Chen Yao with him. As for Su Su, she was still under house arrest. She would only be released when the nanny sent by Concubine Hui returned to the palace.
