That purple gold orb was very familiar to Li Xiu and Rong Shi.
That was the tribute that Shen Guo, which was located on the East Sea, had just paid tribute at the beginning of this year.
There are only four in total, and the two big ones are stored in the Treasure Building of the Imperial Palace.
The other two small ones, one was inlaid on Lixiu's Panlong purple gold belt, and the other was taken by Mrs. Rong as a present on the crown prince's birthday and ordered to be inlaid on his purple gold crown. And the purple gold crown was just on Li Qianxiao's head at this moment.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, don't..." Looking at Li Xiu's increasingly ugly face, Rong hurriedly wanted to ask for mercy.
Li Xiu, who always seemed very kind, pulled Rong Shi away with a livid face, and approached Li Qianxiao step by step, and Li Qianxiao was forced to step back step by step.
"Father, father, son... no... not son..." Li Qianxiao opened his mouth in a panic, but he couldn't say a complete sentence. clear.
"You bastard!" Li Xiu yelled and kicked Li Qianxiao's lower abdomen with his foot.
Although Li Xiu is thin, but with the cultivation of a seventh-level swordsman, his strength is still quite strong.
Li Qianxiao groaned when he was kicked, and immediately knelt down on the ground. When Li Xiu raised his foot and wanted to kick him a second time, Rong yelled and rushed forward to protect Li Qianxiao.
"Your Majesty, even if the beads belong to Xiao'er, you still have to give Xiao'er a chance to argue. Are you going to beat him to death like this?"
Li Xiu's face was ashen, his slender eyes suddenly widened, and then narrowed into a line. After a long while, he finally put down his raised foot.
"Late at the flower viewing party, he said he fell asleep in the back garden, plus this bead."
Li Xiu's tone was full of anger and disappointment, "The matter is already clear, I want to see how he will refute it!"
All eyes fell on Li Qianxiao, waiting for him to speak.
"Xiao'er." Rong helped Li Qianxiao up, "Tell your father what happened, did you drop your purple gold beads here because you were just playing around?"
Although the matter was clear, Rong still didn't want to believe that her son was the bastard she wanted to skin.
"Mother...me." Li Qianxiao faltered, wanting to deny it but facing Li Xiu's coercion, he didn't have the courage.
Pei Ziao stood aside, looking at Li Qianxiao coldly, he never thought that he would be the one who plotted against him.
Remembering that his father and son have always offered him like a Buddha, such as delicious and fun things, fine wine and beautiful women, as long as Li Qianxiao wants it, their father and son will do their best to satisfy him.
However, Pei Ziao never expected that Li Qianxiao would stab him in the back, and it was not enough to put a cuckold on him, and he had to put a shit bowl on his head.
"His Royal Highness said just now that a man should be brave, let alone you are still the current prince and the future prince."
Pei Ziao said questioningly: "If you don't give an explanation for what happened today, how can you be an example for all people!"
What he said is not insignificant, if this matter is not handled properly and spread, it will be a royal scandal.
Liguo respects etiquette, and those who rape women among the people will be sentenced to death. If the prince commits a crime, it is not too much to be deposed as the heir apparent.
Rong looked at Pei Ziao sharply, and said, "Mr. Pei's words are too serious. Didn't you say that Miss Yi was poisoned by seductiveness? That means the prince didn't force her... .”
"That's right, I didn't force it."
Only then did Li Qianxiao come to his senses, and hurriedly said: "I didn't force it, she seduced me, she seduced me."
"Xiao'er, don't worry, speak slowly." Seeing Li Qianxiao opened his mouth, Rong said hastily.
"In the evening, I was walking in the garden, and suddenly I heard the sound of someone making love among the flowers."
Li Qianxiao glanced at his mother, settled his mind and continued: "I thought it was the palace guard and the maid who had an affair, so I went up and knocked the man unconscious. Later I found out that the two were actually Pei Ziao and Miss Yi. Just as I was about to call someone, Miss Yi suddenly rushed over and pestered me endlessly. I... I didn't control myself for a while, and I made a big mistake. "
After Li Qianxiao finished speaking, he knelt down in front of Li Xiu again, repenting and said: "I'm wrong, father, you think it's my first offence, please forgive me this time."
Yi Qian sat on the floor like a puppet that had lost its life. She didn't want to believe that the person who took her virginity was not her brother Ziao!
Looking at Pei Ziao's indifferent back, her whole body seemed to have fallen into the abyss of despair.
"Your Majesty, Xiao'er is a young man, and Miss Yi is voluntary. This matter cannot be entirely left to Xiao'er alone." After speaking to Li Xiu, Rong's eyes fell on the kneeling man on the ground. Ichikage is like wood.
A look of disdain could not help appearing in her eyes, how could a good girl be poisoned by that kind of poison for no reason.
Judging by her attitude towards Pei Ziao, could it be that she intentionally wanted to back up Mr. Pei's family, and then designed it for everyone to find out, and in the end, His Majesty bestowed a marriage, so it was a sure thing!
This kind of method is not new in the palace, it just hurt her son and made others a scapegoat for nothing.
Thinking of this, Rong's heart was full of resentment, but he didn't show it on face.
Now no matter who is right or who is wrong, Li Qianxiao's ruin of people's innocence has become a fact. If he wants to appease the emperor's anger and stop Youyou's mouth, he has to smash his teeth and swallow it.
Mrs. Rong made up her mind silently in her heart, then turned her gaze to Yun Ruoyao, and said, "Miss Yun help Miss Yi up quickly, the ground is too cold. Since the crown prince did this, we will definitely take responsibility for it." In the next few days, the Japanese Palace will send people to the Yun family and the Yi family to propose marriage, and marry Miss Yi as the crown prince and concubine as soon as possible."
Li Qianxiao straightened up abruptly, and looked at Rong Shi, with every kind of reluctance in his eyes.
Thinking of Yi Qianying's intimacy with Pei Ziao in the flowers, Li Qianxiao felt extremely disgusted. When he played with Yi Qianying, he felt no different from the prostitutes in the land of fireworks. His mother actually let him take her For the concubine? !
He hasn't married yet, and the position of crown princess has been vacant all the time. Is it because of this trivial matter that he wants to marry a daughter of a small clan as his concubine? That is the woman who will be the queen in the future and be worshiped by all peoples with him!
"Mother, I don't..."
"Shut up!" Rong Shi turned her head and glared at him.
"Queen!" Li Qianxiao was in a hurry.
"Why, are you still unwilling?" Li Xiu said coldly, "If you can't be responsible for your actions, I really have to consider whether there is a more suitable candidate for the crown prince!"
This sentence was like a magic spell that tightly bound Li Qianxiao.
Li Qianxiao's reluctance turned into one sentence: "My son, my son is willing."
Things have developed to this point, which is completely beyond Yun Ruoyao's expectations, and it is obviously more beneficial to the Yun family than marrying into the Pei family and marrying the royal family.
What a blessing in disguise!
"Empress Xie is the master of sister Qianying, and it is her blessing that Qianying can marry the prince."
At this moment, Yi Qianying's mind was confused by the repeated shocks. She seemed to wake up suddenly from a dream, she broke away from Yun Ruoyao's support, and rushed towards Pei Ziao, crying "Brother Ziao, Qianying just wants to stay by your side, even if it's just to be a concubine or a maid."
Pei Ziao hurriedly moved away, and said: "Miss Yi, why should you belittle yourself, I, Pei Ziao, don't have that kind of blessing. Your Highness the Crown Prince is like dragon and phoenix, and it's the best choice for you to follow His Highness."
"Brother Ziao, don't you really have the slightest affection for me?" Yi Qianying looked at him and asked unwillingly.
As soon as Pei Ziao raised his head, he saw the bruises on her neck, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed.
"Miss Yi and I have always been friends. If there was any misunderstanding in the past, I would like to apologize to Miss."
Pei Ziao respectfully bowed to Yi Qianying, expressing his attitude clearly, "From now on, I hope Miss will cherish it."
Yi Qianying suddenly smiled miserably, yes, she is no longer perfect, and she is so worthy of Pei Ziao.
In fact, she knew in her heart that even if she was intact, she might not be able to join the Pei family. The single heir of the three generations of the Pei family must marry someone of the right family. Why should she be delusional as an abandoned daughter of a small clan.
It's just her wishful thinking all this time, so why did Pei Ziao give her a clear promise? !
"Hehe, hehe." Yi Qianying suddenly laughed, describing it rather strangely.
At this time, Rong's judged his previous judgment, and felt even more shameless towards Yi Qianying in his heart. Thinking that this woman would become his first daughter-in-law, he panicked.
But for the sake of Li Qianxiao's position as the crown prince, she still restrained herself from saying a word. Even if she becomes the crown princess, so what, the queen can be deposed, she has a hundred ways to make Yi Qianying unstable as the crown princess, everything will be long in the future.
Just when everyone was surprised by Yi Qianying's weird behavior, she suppressed her weird smile and gradually replaced it with a calm smile.
Yi Qianying turned around with a smile and walked in front of Li Xiu and Rong Shi, knelt down slowly, prostrated herself on the ground and said, "Qianying thanked His Majesty and Empress for their kindness, Qianying knew that her status was low, and her appearance and cultivation were not worthy of her." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he is willing to be a side concubine. I hope that His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress will be successful."
Both the empress and the emperor were taken aback. No matter what, the prince was at fault for this matter. Although Yi Qianying's status is not noble enough, but under such circumstances, she has an absolute advantage in public opinion when she loses her dignity to the prince.
In addition, she has the Yun family as her backing.
Yun Lan, the head of the Yun family, is cautious and polite, respectful and humble to his superiors, and courteous to his inferiors, which makes the Yun family enjoy a good reputation in the imperial city and even the entire Li country.
But Yun Lan is the most face-saving person, if it arouses his dissatisfaction, it will definitely cause waves.
The Rong family also took this into consideration, so they agreed to be the crown princess as soon as they opened their mouths. Unexpectedly, Yi Qianying took the initiative to ask to be a side concubine.
It seems that this child can still be fucked, the smirk on Rong's face finally showed a trace of sincerity.
