I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 950 - Chapter 950 Fiasco

Chapter 950: Fiasco Chapter 950: Fiasco Editor: Atlas Studios Seeing the clear gaze in his son’s eyes, Qi Xiuyuan sighed slightly.

It was obvious that he was being considerate of his younger brothers.

In that case, why lift the gauze and let the young children see the darkness so early on?

It was better to let him discover it himself before making arrangements.

At this thought, Qi Xiuyuan rubbed his head and smiled.

“You’re right.

Your brothers are still young.

It’s too early to talk about this.” Though Qi Xiuyuan let the matter of borrowing money pass, the three consorts had different thoughts when they found out that the Crown Prince had borrowed money from their sons.

The Second Prince’s biological mother, Consort Zhao-Shu, gritted her teeth slightly and tugged at her son as she asked, “You lent it to the Crown Prince just because he asked?

Why are you so stupid as to let others spend your money?

You won’t even know if you’re sold in the future.” The Second Prince was unconvinced.

“Brother Crown Prince is my brother.

He’s not just a random person.

It’s not like I have much use for the money anyway.

If Brother Crown Prince wants it, just give it to him.” “You.” Consort Zhao-Shu was so angry that she tapped his forehead.

“How is it useless?

Do you know how much effort your maternal grandfather had to put in to send money into the palace?” The Second Prince was impatient.

“I’m a prince and I don’t need him to raise me.

What does it have to do with me if he sends money in?” The Second Prince was almost four years old and was at his most naughty and disobedient period.

He spoke his mind freely, shouting, “I’ve asked the wet nurse.

My money is given to me by Royal Father and the Imperial Court.

What does it have to do with Grandfather?” When the wet nurse waiting at the side heard this, she knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed repeatedly.

“Your Highness, please spare me.

Your Highness, please spare me.” “Alright, I was wondering why the Second Prince was becoming more and more distant from me.

It turns out that it was all because of you guys.

Men, drag her away.

Give her 20 strokes of the paddle first before sending her to the Office of Punishment.” The Second Prince had spent the most time with the wet nurse since he was born.

When he heard this, he immediately rushed forward and pushed the two palace maids away.

“You’re not allowed to arrest her.

Bad people.

You’re all bad people.

I’ll get Brother Crown Prince to punish you with strokes of the paddle.” When Consort Zhao-Shu heard him mention the Crown Prince, she was so angry that her entire body trembled.

With a finger pointed at him, she screamed, “Do you really think he’s a good person?

He’s just bribing you and turning you into a useless person, but you treat an evil person as a good person!” “Your Highness!” Consort Zhao-Shu’s personal palace maid looked at her with a slightly pale face.

There were some things that could be kept in one’s heart but not said openly.

However, the Second Prince was so immersed in the panic about the fact that his wet nurse was about to be taken away that he didn’t hear what his mother said.

He cried as he went to push away the two palace maids, but he realized that he couldn’t push them away at all.

He could only hug one of the wet nurse’s arms and burst into tears.

The wet nurse’s heart ached and she panicked.

After all, this was the child she had been taking care of since he was a baby.

Seeing him cry so miserably, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

On the other hand, the Empress would definitely not let her stay after seeing how close she was to the Second Prince.

The wet nurse also cried miserably from the bottom of her heart.

Seeing that the Second Prince was frightened, she bit her lip and stopped crying.

Instead, she pushed his hand away and shook her head at him.

The commotion here had long alarmed the outside.

Having just finished his heart-to-heart talk with Little Treasure, Qi Xiuyuan was about to meet the mothers of the three princes to explain to them why the Crown Prince had borrowed money from their sons.

Unexpectedly, when he entered, he heard Consort Zhao-Shu accuse the Crown Prince of being an evil person.

His expression could not help but darken.

The palace maids and eunuchs who were guarding the palace gate for Consort Zhao-Shu had their mouths covered by the eunuchs beside the Emperor and dragged to the side.

They knelt trembling.

Standing at the door, Qi Xiuyuan saw everything.

He saw that the Second Prince’s face was red and his voice was hoarse from crying, yet Consort Zhao-Shu did not show any pity.

Instead, she got a servant to drag him away, and her expression became even uglier.

When he pushed open the slightly closed palace door and strode in, Consort Zhao-Shu was fuming.

Seeing him enter, she was slightly stunned.

Then, her expression changed drastically and she hurriedly knelt on the ground to welcome him.

“Your Majesty, I didn’t know that you had arrived.

Sorry for not welcoming youaEUR|” Qi Xiuyuan ignored her and hugged his second son, who was crying so hard that he was out of breath.

Then, he looked at her coldly before turning to the Second Prince’s wet nurse.

“Follow me.” Feeling as if she had been granted amnesty, the wet nurse hurriedly got up and stumbled after him.

Seeing that the Emperor ignored her the entire time, Consort Zhao-Shu’s body went limp.

She took a step forward slightly and wanted to explain herself.

The palace maid beside her quickly grabbed her and said in a low voice, “Your Highness, His Majesty is furious.

It’s better to let the Second Prince spend some time with His Majesty for now.” The palace maid felt that Consort Zhao-Shu was really stupid.

His Majesty was clearly in a rage.

If it weren’t for the Second Prince, he would have punished her long ago.

And instead of hiding, she was provoking the Emperor further?

Consort Zhao-Shu watched helplessly as the Emperor carried the Second Prince away.

Her body went limp and she sat on the ground, crying, “It’s over, it’s over, it’s all over.

His Majesty must have heard what I said about the Crown PrinceaEUR|” Everyone knew how much the Emperor doted on the Crown Prince.

Just because the Crown Prince wanted to play with his younger brothers, the Emperor handed the three princes to him to play with.

Just because the Crown Prince wanted to have dinner with the entire family at night, the three princes were brought to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility every night for dinner.

On what grounds?

She was the Second Prince’s biological mother, yet she spent the least time with him!

While Consort Zhao-Shu’s side was in a mess, the other two princes were in a different situation.

When the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince’s biological mothers heard that the Crown Prince had borrowed money from their son, although they were surprised and doubtful, they did not object.

If their sons could get close to the Crown Prince, it would only be beneficial to them in the future.

With how much His Majesty valued the Crown Prince, there was an 80% chance that the Crown Prince would succeed the throne.

In addition, they didn’t have prominent family backgrounds, so they weren’t so ambitious as to covet the throne.

If their sons were close to the Crown Prince, it could only mean good things for their future.

Therefore, although they did not know why the Crown Prince was short of money, they still praised their sons.

The Third and Fourth Princes did not completely understand the adults’ words, but they could tell that the adults were praising them, so they were very happy.

When they heard the commotion coming from Consort Zhao-Shu’s palace, they fell silent and said to the palace maids beside them, “Consort Zhao-Shu is too delusional.

She thinks that her Second Prince is different from the rest just because he’s the son born right after the Crown Prince.

She should take a look at herself.” Meanwhile, Qi Xiuyuan, who was carrying the Second Prince back to the palace, was filled with anger.

After suppressing his anger, he comforted the Second Prince softly.

Then, he handed him to Little Treasure, who had rushed over.

With a wave of his hand, he said, “Bring him away to play first.

Coax him and don’t make him cry again.” The Second Prince kept looking at his wet nurse.

Frowning slightly, Qi Xiuyuan felt that his son was a tad too dependent on this wet nurse.

His eyes darkened slightly as he said to the wet nurse, “You can go away too.

Continue to stay by the Second Prince’s side and take care of him.” The wet nurse heaved a sigh of relief after receiving the Holy Decree.

She kowtowed respectfully to the Emperor before retreating.

Seeing that the children had left, Qi Xiuyuan no longer hid the anger on his face.

He issued a decree to Eunuch Wan and said, “Consort Zhao-Shu has shown disrespect before the Emperor and will thus be stripped of her position as a concubine.

On account of her contribution in giving birth to a prince, she will be conferred the title of Concubine Zhao.

Let her reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors for three months.

Other than the Second Prince, no one is allowed to visit her.”
