In Ci'an Palace, Tang Fu had been kneeling in the main hall for an hour. The Queen Mother ordered her to kneel for four hours before she could get up.
After hearing what happened at the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion, the Queen Mother knew that she could not protect her niece, and she would also have to punish her severely before the Emperor knew about it.
After kneeling on the gravel road for three hours, my knees would be bruised and purple when I got up. It was extremely hot at the end of the day, and the weather turned cooler in the evening. This alternation of cold and hot was very annoying.
As the sun set, Tang Fu's face was already pale. Apart from some porridge for breakfast, Tang Fu, who had not drank a sip of water all day, finally couldn't help but fainted.
"Did someone faint?"
Concubine Xi leaned on the couch. When she heard the maid report that Miss Tang got up and fainted after kneeling for four hours and asked the imperial doctor, Liu Yemei raised her eyebrows slightly and her tone was a bit optimistic.
"Yes, I heard that Eunuch Lin, who was with the Emperor, went to Ci'an Palace. He saw Miss Tang kneeling at the door and left."
Concubine Xi snorted coldly, if the Queen Mother did not punish Tang Fu, and now Tang Fu is punished by the emperor's order, she will only lose face even more.
"Tang Fu is also stupid. Why is she going to Prince Jing's Mansion to look for trouble at this time?"
Concubine Xi's confidants were all in the room, and they spoke more casually. She didn't think that Tang Fu was being plotted by the weak Princess Jing, but she only thought that Tang Fu was relying on the power of the Queen Mother to bully others.
People outside said that Miss Tang had a good temper and a sweet heart, but she could see clearly that the little girl had a lot of evil intentions!
Just as the master and servant were saying this, the servant outside reported that the second prince had arrived. Seeing his son coming, Concubine Xi talked to the second prince about the affairs of Ci'an Palace. She explained: "The emperor must not show up for the business of the shop, otherwise If they make a fuss and accuse you of bullying Princess Jing, it will harm your reputation and your father will not be happy."
The second prince was a little impatient. After telling his mother and concubine that he wanted to use the shop to deal with Princess Jing, he had told her over and over again several times.
"My son knows. Concubine, don't worry. My son will definitely not show up."
This was his goal to pit Hengtong Gambling House against Princess Jing.
"Then the matter of Miss Tang's family is over like this?" The second prince took a sip of tea and brought up the matter of Princess Jing being knocked unconscious. The discussion was now very lively.
"The Empress Dowager Ming'er summons Princess Jing into the palace, comforts her, and then the story ends."
It is impossible for the Emperor to stand up for Princess Jing in everything. Today, the Tang family lady made her mad and the Emperor took care of it. Tomorrow, he had a quarrel with another lady and she was made mad. The Emperor will take care of it again?
Today, the Holy One is in charge of major affairs in the world. How can these girls handle trivial matters personally? When Eunuch Lin went to Ci'an Palace, he probably gave a few words of warning. It was unrealistic to really support Princess Jing to relieve her anger.
"Princess Jing won't be arrogant for a few more days, just watch."
What Concubine Xi said was profound, if Prince Jing is dead, what kind of protection can the woman who marries him expect? If there are so many benefits, the nobles have long been thinking about it!
The second prince thought to himself that he had to step on Princess Jing's stepping stone while it was hot! He has a good reputation for loving the people like his own son, but his prestige among the officials is a bit low. If he overpowers Princess Jing this time, the officials will treat him differently when they see his sharpness.
The second prince didn't look very good, which he thought was a good idea. The mother and son's words were filled with contempt and disdain for Jian Yu, and they felt that Princess Jing was not a great person.
However, they could see through Jian Yu so easily. The next day, she received the Queen Mother's oral instructions and came to Ci'an Palace. From then on, her thoughts were completely different from those of Concubine Xi.
"Princess Jing was wronged yesterday. Fu'er acted recklessly but she had no bad intentions. I have already punished her heavily..."
What the Empress Dowager meant implicitly was that I had already punished you for this matter, so you should not mention it again if you are sensible.
When others heard what the Queen Mother meant, they would definitely come down the steps, settle the matter and leave the palace quietly. Of course not Jian Yu. She said she wanted to meet Miss Tang and make it clear if there was any misunderstanding in front of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother thought about it and realized that this was reasonable. When the two of them talked about it, the rumors outside would naturally disappear.
She led Jian Yu to Tang Fu's bedroom. On the way, she also told Jian Yu that Tang Fu, who had been kneeling for four hours yesterday, couldn't get out of bed, trying her best to show her selflessness.
Entering Tang Fu's bedroom, Jian Yu looked around without leaving a trace. As the Queen Mother's favorite niece, all the furnishings in the room were valuables, and the paintings on the walls were all by famous artists.
Her eyes fell on the purple jade cup placed on the table, and Jian Yu immediately thought of the description in the article that Tang Fu lost her favorite purple jade cup, and finally framed Jian Rao for stealing it.
Jian Rao is the daughter of the second master of the Taifu Mansion. At that time, Tang Fu wanted to deal with the Jian family, so this was a random excuse.
A beloved thing?
Jian Yu snorted in her heart, then raised her hand to touch her forehead and shook it. She fell down and sat on the couch. She scratched the purple jade cup on the ground and broke it. The crisp voice made everyone turn their heads. Tang Fu, who had wanted to pretend to be sick and not salute Jian Yu, sat up in excitement.
Her purple jade cup! Tang Fu, who felt sorry for her cup, didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and the Queen Mother's expression suddenly changed.
Nothing else, Princess Jing fainted again.
Princess Jing came to Shengjing from the south of the Yangtze River and stayed in the Taifu's Mansion for so many days without any problems. How come she fainted every time she saw the Queen Mother after getting married?
Jian Yu's fainting alarmed the emperor.
"Mother, what on earth is going on?"
After hearing the imperial doctor's diagnosis that Princess Jing fainted due to anger, the emperor's voice became deeper. Although it was not obvious, the queen mother could hear the dissatisfaction in it.
"Yesterday," the Queen Mother paused as soon as she said two words. How could she say that she asked Jian Yu to come to appease yesterday? Then she said she wanted to see Fu'er, and she fainted when she entered the room...
This sounds like an excuse!
The emperor's attitude was clearly that he was causing trouble for Princess Jing, so he reprimanded her and asked her to come see Tang Fu, so she fainted.
Her eyes fell on the fainted Jian Yu. The Queen Mother's eyes were dark. Was this what Princess Jing had expected all along? What a little vixen, she underestimated him.
Jian Yu herself was sick and weak. Seeing Ziyu Bei and thinking about her cannon fodder life in the original plot, she could not help but feel a little agitated. How could she have imagined that after pretending to be unconscious, she actually fell asleep in bed and received such a diagnosis from the imperial doctor.
"See the Emperor."
Jian Yu pretended to wake up, and then asked Hongmei to help her weakly walk to the hall. She explained to the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, I was so weak that I fainted, thus disturbing the Queen Mother. It is really difficult for me to escape death." Blame cough cough cough."
As she said these words, Jian Yu's face became paler as she coughed.
Jian Yu's behavior made her look like a pitiful little bully to death in the eyes of the emperor.
Then he saw the jade pendant on Jian Yu's waist, and remembered that it was his brother's favorite piece when he was studying. The soft part in the emperor's heart was slightly touched. This was his brother's daughter-in-law, and he could be buried with him after his death. princess!
If the younger brother was still here, how could he be so cautious and look at the face of a court lady, only to be knocked out by the other party again and again.
The emperor looked at Tang Fu who was kneeling on the ground, and the temperature in his eyes dropped again and again.
