29 - You feel guilty?With an uneasy feeling in his heart, Qian Jiujiu"s gaze lingered on Qing Guifei for a while before he lowered his head. Consort Xian, on the other hand, had always been paying attention to Qian Jiujiu.
"Humph!" Qian Jiujiu, if I were you, I would have admitted it, otherwise, this will implicate the entire thousand! "
Hearing Consort Xian"s words, Qian Jiujiu"s mouth raised, suddenly thinking of the news she had heard from Mu Yexiao, that the mother and daughter of thousand would also be entering the palace today.Presumably, the mother and daughter of the thousand were not willing to expose him, otherwise, the thousand would not be able to take the consequences and Qian Yuge himself would be finished.
I really don"t know if this Consort Xian is really dumb, or just faking it. I resisted the impulse to roll my eyes, and looked at Consort Xian: "Empress, I wonder, just how did I offend you?"
"Are you sure you want to kill me? Since neither of my parents are here, you kept on asking me to plead guilty. Fortunately, the empress and my Concubine Mother are here. "
"Otherwise, I"m afraid I really would have to worry about my own safety. Could it be because the Consort Xian Empress has already determined that she will not be able to obtain the Beauty Sacred Artifact from me? ""First of all, I suspect that I wasn"t the one who used the Yin-Yang Sacred Artifact. In reality, I"m actually trying to steal my secret recipe. Now, you are accusing me of being direct daughter, and even accusing me of lying to you. "
"I really don"t understand, where did I offend you from? Or did you wrongly accuse me because you also asked for the thousand to be rejected on behalf of the third prince? "
The empress exclaimed, "Ah, so there was such a thing? Why haven"t I heard of it? "
Qian Jiujiu did not lie. It was just that at that time, Qian Shang Shu swayed left and right because Mu Yexiao was not injured.He did not agree to the third prince"s request, and coincidentally, Qian Shang Shu did not agree to the third prince"s request.
All the consorts looked at Consort Xian with suspicion. Was it really because they couldn"t get married that they wanted to eliminate him?
Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Consort Xian spun around her body and could not help but be angry: "Pfft, even if my royal son requests to marry, it is not to ask for you, but the honorable thousand instead, is that you?"
"Do you dare to swear that you are thousand? You are clearly a concubinage who doesn"t recognize a single word, yet you still dare to talk back to me here. "
"The one who should shut up is you, Consort Xian. Don"t keep talking about my daughter-in-law again and again."
Qing Guifei had been silent for a while, but suddenly exploded out, startling Consort Xian.Consort Xian looked at Qing Guifei: "What, are you guilty? Don"t tell me you don"t want to know whether the woman in front of you is a thousand or not? "
Qing Guifei coldly snorted, "Didn"t they already send for the Qian Shang Shu? I"ve also sent someone to invite the Emperor. When the time comes, he"ll naturally know. "
"You are bullying the weak and bullying my daughter-in-law. You really don"t look like one. You don"t think it"s ugly, but I do!"
Consort Xian"s face stiffened. This was all true, no matter what, she could still be considered Qian Jiujiu"s elder. Facing a junior like this, being so overbearing was really too unsightly.
After coming to this conclusion, the Consort Xian snorted coldly and stopped talking. She then waited silently to invite the maids and eunuchs back.Because the mother and daughter thousand were already in the palace this morning, they came the fastest. The moment they walked in, Consort Xian"s eyes lit up as she looked at them.
Qian Jiujiu also looked at the mother and daughter duo. However, Madame Qian very quickly kneeled on the ground, "This subject greets the Empress, Empress, Queen of Consort Xian, and Queen of Yunfei."
After seeing all the consorts, Madame Qian looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "This subject greets Princess Xiao."
Qian Jiujiu smiled at Madame Qian: "Mother, please get up."All of the consorts looked at the mother and daughter but could not tell what was going on. Consort Xian looked at Qian Yuge and asked, "Madame Qian, I would like to ask you this: is the Princess Xiao in front of you a direct daughter?"
Madame Qian looked at Consort Xian in confusion. "In reply to the Empress, Princess Xiao is my daughter, so she is naturally our thousand"s direct daughter."
Consort Xian"s expression instantly turned ugly. Qian Jiujiu was a bit amused, she had already said that Consort Xian was a pig brain, she had even thought that as long as Madame Qian didn"t want to be executed by her family for the crime of deceiving the monarch.
He would even grind his teeth and say that she was Qian Yuge. was immediately bored to death when he thought that the Madame Qian was trying to sell him out.
It seemed that it would be best to save less of this palace in the future. There were no good people in this palace.
Thinking about it this way, Qian Jiujiu couldn"t help but think that Mu Yexiao would hurriedly appear and bring her out of the palace. Compared to the palace, the palace was much quieter.Hong Ling and Hong Chou had been standing behind Qian Jiujiu the entire time. Seeing how calm Qian Jiujiu had been from the start to now, they felt a little admiration towards him in their hearts.
Only, he didn"t know that Qian Jiujiu"s calmness from start to finish, came from Mu Yexiao. If the Great Zhou Empire"s emperor really took Mu Yexiao as his crown prince.
If she knew that he could cure Mu Yexiao, then nothing would happen to her. He would even protect her, which was why she was able to remain so calm.In the arena, Madame Qian was still at a loss as she looked at Consort Xian, "What does the Consort Xian Empress mean by this? My Yu Ge is married to the Xiao Prince because of the Imperial Decree."
"What is Consort Xian suspecting, that she has entered the royal jade b.u.t.terfly"s first rank consort?"
Consort Xian had been blocked several times by Qing Guifei today, but now, even a late wife dared to criticize him. She instantly slapped Madame Qian"s face in anger.
"How dare you! You dare to question my words?"
In Consort Xian"s heart, she was even thinking if this was a trap that Qian Shang Shu had set for her, to make her lose face today.Qing Guifei looked at Consort Xian"s actions and coldly snorted, "What"s wrong, Sister Consort Xian? Was she angry out of embarra.s.sment? You can"t frame my daughter-in-law, so you"re planning to use her as an excuse? "
"Unfortunately, have you forgotten how great motherly love is? With just a single slap, you made Madame Qian not recognize your daughter. I"m afraid that it"s going to be difficult."
Consort Xian was angered to death by Qing Guifei"s words. She pointed at Qing Guifei and said, "You, don"t get c.o.c.ky too early, I won"t let you off."
As soon as he said that, a man"s voice was heard, "You won"t let anyone off, will you? "Speaking of which, I still don"t know why my Consort Xian is so powerful.""You dare to threaten the wife of the Minister in public? Tell me, who will you not let go of?"
The sudden appearance of the emperor"s voice caused all the imperial concubines to be stunned for a moment before they all saluted in unison. "Greetings, your majesty."
"Get up, which one of you is my daughter-in-law?"
Qian Jiujiu stood out and sized the person in front of him up. She looked to be around thirty to forty years old, and was in her prime. But her sons were growing up one by one.He wondered if this emperor would feel suffocated, of course Qian Jiujiu only took a glance before lowering his head. He walked out and looked at the emperor.
"My daughter-in-law pays her respects to Imperial Father. Long live Imperial Father!""Come on, what were you talking about just now? It seems to be very lively? "
As the Emperor spoke, he glanced at Consort Xian, but Consort Xian was still kneeling on the ground without moving at all. She started to worry in her heart.This time, he would be punished for sure, and it would be embarra.s.sing for him.
Qian Jiujiu also looked at Consort Xian who was kneeling on the ground, then looked at the Emperor, then looked at Qing Guifei, seemingly wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he could only lower his head.
No matter what, the Consort Xian is still an elder. Your daughter-in-law won"t dare to say it. "The emperor suddenly laughed and chuckled twice. "He"s a good child and a filial child. But don"t worry, Zhen won"t let a filial child be bullied."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Qing Guifei and said, "Qing Guifei, tell me, what were you discussing just now? Could it be that you have contributed to threatening the Madame Minister as well? "
These words were a little too serious, Qing Guifei was dumbstruck. He knew that this must be because the emperor was dissatisfied with her. That"s right, this matter, if she hadn"t tacitly agreed to it.If the thousand mother and daughter did not go up on stage, they would have been settled. But the current situation, in other words, Qing Guifei wanted something to happen.
Unfortunately, the emperor had arrived too promptly, so it hadn"t happened yet. The unease in Qian Jiujiu"s heart disappeared after she saw Mu Yexiao, who had followed the emperor in.On the contrary, replacing it was a type of safety. Qian Jiujiu was a little puzzled, why would she be sure that Mu Yexiao would definitely protect her safety?
From time to time, he would look at Mu Yexiao with some suspicion. After hearing the emperor"s words, Qian Jiujiu immediately understood. Her unease came from somewhere, from Qing Guifei.
She thought that the relationship between her and Qing Guifei had been calculated already, but she never expected that Qing Guifei would actually be prepared to abandon her at any time.From the looks of it, Qing Guifei was not a person worth making friends with. With how many benefits he had obtained from her, when he truly needed to sacrifice her, he would not even blink.
Therefore, right now, Qian Jiujiu did not say a single word, and only silently waited for Qing Guifei"s reply.
Qing Guifei looked at the emperor with a bit of grievance, "Your Majesty, is chenqie such a person in your heart? The one who suffered today was chenqie. ""I wonder what"s going on with little sister Consort Xian today. First, I wanted the secret recipe for the beauty saint artifact in Princess Xiao, but I couldn"t steal a teacher. Then, I said that Princess Xiao is an unrecognizable concubinage …"
Qing Guifei used a wronged voice and finally told the emperor everything that had just happened, then looked at the emperor. "Your majesty, do you think that little sister is dissatisfied with me, a big sister?"
"This is the first time chenqie has shown up with her daughter-in-law, and she"s just slapping chenqie"s face like this. Your majesty, chenqie is feeling wronged."
Looking at Qing Guifei"s tear-stained appearance and today"s makeup, the current Qing Guifei did not have much of an charm, but the Consort Xian was so angry that he died.The Emperor, however, looked at Consort Xian. "Consort Xian, is what Qing Guifei said true?"
