When Concubine Xian saw that Concubine Qing suddenly started to take it seriously, she was also stunned for a moment. She was just having a routine quarrel with Concubine Qing as usual every morning.
Why is she so serious today? Could it be that she likes this Princess Xiao so much? Her son told her that this Princess Xiao was the nemesis he had specially found for Mu Yexiao.
Something is not right. Concubine Xian finally discovered something was wrong. If he was his nemesis, why hasn’t he killed Mu Yexiao in several days
Instead, it was Princess Xiao herself who was favored by Imperial Concubine Qing. Thinking of this, Concubine Xian couldn't help but sneer, not knowing that Imperial Concubine Qing knew of Princess Xiao's identity.
Will he still cherish such a concubine princess? Thinking of this, Concubine Xian suddenly felt very confident. Yes, she was just a concubine, raised in a farm in the countryside since she was a child.
How could he, who can't read a single word and doesn't know anything, make such a beauty product? He must have bought it from somewhere else and is now using it to deceive Concubine Qing.
If she was really exposed, wouldn't Concubine Qing be embarrassed? When Concubine Xian thought about Concubine Qing being embarrassed, she was so happy.
She straightened her face and snorted, "Sister, what you said is not right. I just want Princess Xiao to prove that she made this thing."
"Since you can make the first one, you can naturally make the others. If there is no problem, why is she crying?"
After saying this, all the concubines turned their eyes to Qian Jiujiu, as if what Concubine Xian said made sense.
Seeing this situation, Qian Jiujiu decided to continue playing the role of a weak one since she had to do so anyway. She glanced cautiously at Concubine Xian, and then at Concubine Qing.
Imperial Concubine Qing naturally received Qian Jiujiu's tone and coughed twice: "Jiu'er, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Today, mother will leave it to you."
"You are my daughter-in-law. Whoever makes things difficult for you is making things difficult for me."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Concubine Xian with some embarrassment, with hesitation on her face, but finally she gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Mother, it's not that I don't want to do it here. I'm just worried that the amount of medicine needed to make this mask is fixed, and it's not something you can learn just by watching it once or twice."
"If the mask is not made according to the dosage of medicinal materials, it may not be a beauty product, and it may even cause skin ulcers. And the mask you need, mother, your daughter-in-law has already prepared it."
"If we make it now, we won't be able to use it when the time comes. As we all know, things will go bad if they are left for a long time, and the same goes for beauty products."
After listening to Qian Jiujiu's words, Concubine Qing became more and more satisfied. She nodded and looked at Concubine Xian.
"Sister Xianfei, did you hear me? Not everyone can succeed if they want to learn by stealing."
Qian Jiujiu's words just now were all about Concubine Xian asking her to make a facial mask on the spot, and she was planning to learn it secretly. And now Concubine Qing pointed it out directly in one sentence.
Concubine Xian wanted to secretly learn Qian Jiujiu's technique of making facial mask. Although most of the concubines here thought so, they were all scared after hearing Qian Jiujiu's words.
Fortunately, I didn't do that. Otherwise, if my skin was ulcerated after using it, it would not only be embarrassing, but also ruin my face. If someone in the harem ruins their appearance, it will ruin their life.
Xian Fei was so angry that she pointed at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Princess Xiao, please tell me clearly, when did I want to secretly learn your recipe for beauty products?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at Empress Xianfei with an aggrieved look on her face: "You misunderstood, Empress Xianfei. I was just worried. I didn't say that you were secretly learning."
"I'm just giving you a heads up. After all, you're doing it so openly and honestly, and everything is in front of everyone. It's normal for someone with bad intentions to learn secretly, but I'm not talking about you, my lady."
Imperial Concubine Qing also snorted coldly: "That's right, Sister Xianfei, what do you mean by this? I said you stole the skills from me, why do you have to bully my daughter-in-law?"
The virtuous concubine was extremely angry when she saw the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law working in unison to bully her.
But she couldn't win the argument with just two people, and all the concubines present wanted the beauty product in Qian Jiujiu's hand, so they would not speak up for Concubine Xian at this time.
Imperial Concubine Qing looked at Concubine Xian happily and said, "That's right, Concubine Xian, you know that you can't get the beauty products, so you want to learn my daughter-in-law's skills."
"It's a pity that even if I learn it secretly, it may not be useful. You don't know this, but my daughter-in-law agreed to prepare this mask for my skin."
"You stole my facial mask, and it has no effect on your skin. You don't deserve to use such a good thing."
Concubine Xian was so angry at Concubine Qing that her face turned pale. How come she was now the target of public criticism? This was simply outrageous!
Concubine Qing is not the kind of person who would let others off easily even if she is right. On the contrary, she is an extremely unruly and difficult person. Today was the first day she showed up with her daughter-in-law, and she was frightened.
She even bullied her daughter-in-law until she cried, so she would naturally not let it go so easily. What's more, this person is her long-time enemy, Concubine Xian!
"Xianfei, I'm telling you, if you don't come up with a plan for today's incident, I'm going to complain to the Emperor and ask him to give justice to my daughter-in-law."
After hearing this, Concubine Xian rolled her eyes. What was going on? Was she being asked to apologize to a concubine? That was impossible. She would lose all face.
Yes, the person in front of him is a concubine’s daughter. As long as her identity is exposed, wouldn’t Qian Jiujiu be guilty of deceiving the emperor
Then it would not be her who would be embarrassed, but the hateful mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of her. Thinking of this, Concubine Xian regained her confidence.
With a cold snort, she looked at Concubine Qing and said, "I wonder what kind of rules Concubine Qing wants? Tell me and see if I can do it."
Concubine Qing was a little puzzled when she saw Concubine Xian's sudden confidence, while Qian Jiujiu's eyes were moving back and forth between the Queen and Concubine Xian, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"It's very simple. Since you want to steal my daughter-in-law's beauty products, then you just need to apologize to her. This request should not be too much."
The emperor's concubine was apologizing like a princess, and a junior at that. If Concubine Xian really apologized here, I'm afraid she would not be able to raise her face in front of Qian Jiujiu in the future.
What's more, the fate of apologizing is to steal the master's skills. When Concubine Xian heard this request, her face turned pale with anger: "Sister Concubine, don't you think you are going too far?"
Concubine Qing rolled her eyes at Concubine Xian and said, "You bullied my daughter-in-law until she cried. Isn't this too much bullying?"
Concubine Xian reached out her hand again and pointed at Qian Jiujiu: "Then do you know who this so-called daughter-in-law of yours is? A concubine's daughter, a disaster who grew up in the countryside, and she actually wanted me to apologize to her?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the concubines were shocked. How could Princess Xiao be a concubine's daughter
Isn't it said that Princess Xiao is the legitimate daughter of Qian Shangshu's family? She is also known as the most beautiful woman in Kyoto and the most talented woman in Kyoto. How could she be a concubine's daughter
Considering Prince Xiao's injury and the fact that this marriage was, to put it bluntly, just for the purpose of bringing good fortune, the Qian family is so bold to say that, exchanging a concubine's daughter for a legitimate daughter to get married
This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. The Qian family shouldn't be so bold, right? Thinking of this, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Qian Jiujiu.
Judging from her demeanor, she doesn't seem like a concubine's daughter. However, Concubine Xian would definitely not dare to say anything about such a big matter. Concubine Xian looked at the concubines and they all fell silent.
Thinking that it was his boast that intimidated these people, he couldn't help but look at Concubine Qing smugly: "What's wrong, Concubine sister, you may not know the true identity of your daughter-in-law yet."
"Then let me tell you, she is the second daughter of the Qian family. Because she was born a disaster, she was sent to a farm in the countryside by the Qian family."
"This time, I guess he saw that King Xiao was doomed, so he pushed out a scapegoat. He saved you and treated a concubine's daughter as a treasure."
Concubine Qing had an unhappy expression on her face. Concubine Xian knew about this matter, which meant that Concubine Xian knew everything the Qian family had done. Minister Qian was the Third Prince's man.
This realization made Concubine Qing feel not very good, and Qian Jiujiu's identity was exposed in front of so many people. What should she do now
Even though she had been favored in the harem for so many years, she had never encountered such a situation. She couldn't help but look at Qian Jiujiu, but Qian Jiujiu was standing there with a calm face.
It was as if everyone here was not talking about her.
This made Concubine Qing stunned for a moment. Does Qian Jiujiu have a corresponding plan, or does he intend to plead guilty just like that
Seeing Concubine Qing looking at Qian Jiujiu, the concubines who were talking suddenly became quiet and looked at Qian Jiujiu together.
Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but be puzzled. Why was she so beautiful? Everyone was looking at her, so she had to look up at Concubine Xian.
"Does the Concubine Xian dislike me so much? She even made up such a thing. Do you want to label Minister Qian's family as deceiving the emperor?"
Qian Jiujiu came to Concubine Qing and knelt down, "Mother, although my daughter-in-law is already a member of the royal family, I don't want my family to bear such a heavy crime."
"I also hope that you, my mother, will allow my father and mother to come to the palace right now to verify whether I am the legitimate daughter of the Qian family."
This is a good idea. Thinking of this, Concubine Qing glanced at Concubine Xian. This Concubine Xian was indeed an idiot.
For the sake of Qian Jiujiu, the entire Qian family has to be sacrificed. In this way, San Huangzi is equivalent to losing an arm. It is much more cost-effective than getting a concubine's daughter to be her son's princess.
Thinking of this, Concubine Qing has already begun to think that it would be better to prove the guilt of the Qian family: "I will go and invite the emperor and Minister Qian's family now."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Concubine Qing's actions and couldn't help but tremble in her heart, as if she had lost her track. What did Concubine Qing want to do
If her identity was revealed, she would probably be dead.
