Although the Empress guessed that the Emperor would be angry, she did not expect him to be so angry. Although she was satisfied in her heart, a somewhat panicked expression appeared on her face. She lowered her head and listened quietly to the Emperor's decision.
Pei Yuanjun was as calm as ever. He raised his handsome eyes to look at the emperor and even smiled.
The emperor looked at him gloomily, and Pei Yuanjun responded with a smile. There was a hint of laziness in his sleeping eyes, and he raised his eyelids, "The queen is saying that my princess didn't want such a scandal to spread in the Qu Mansion, so she attacked Miss Xu and intended to kill her. So this scandal is over?"
Not only is this statement rude, it also contains a hint of ridicule.
The Queen Mother frowned and felt more and more disgusted with Pei Yuanjun. He was really outrageous. Did he know who he was talking to
But if the emperor didn't reprimand her, she couldn't reprimand her either.
"I don't know about that. I think the Princess of England is young and may not understand this kind of thing. It is possible that she has been deceived by others. It's a pity that the Princess of England grew up outside the city since she was a child. No one educated her. Later, she was educated in etiquette, but she still lacked these things. It is possible that she has some bad ideas." The Queen coughed softly.
Of course, she would not directly accuse Qu Moying, as that would be a low profile.
"What does the Queen mean?" Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows and asked meaningfully.
"This matter... I think it's best to make a big deal out of a small matter. Fengyang Bo wants compensation, and we can't let them say bad things about the royal family. Whether the Qu family marries her or takes her as a concubine, we can't let Fengyang Bo's family have more dissatisfaction with the royal family. As for the Yingwang Mansion... Yingwang Concubine should have fewer people around her. The two maids I sent over before can be used by her. They are all selected concubines in the past, and their status is not ordinary."
The Queen had already made a plan before she came, and she made a gentle proposal at this time.
It sounded like he was on Pei Yuanjun's side in everything, and didn't blame Qu Moying too much.
As the principal wife, she is generous and decent; as the mother of a country, she is fully educated and polite.
"Two maids?" The emperor didn't know about this and asked in a cold voice.
This is what the Queen mentioned. She smiled and said, "They are not important maids. At the beginning, the Qu family came to me and said that they were afraid that the Princess of England would not be able to handle the affairs of the Prince of England's mansion after she married there. So I picked two maids with good family backgrounds and sent them there. I thought that they would be good helpers when the Princess of England didn't know much after she married there."
"Where is he now?" the emperor asked.
"This... I really don't know, maybe these two maids are not liked by Princess Ying!" The Queen said helplessly.
She was the queen, and the maid she gave to her was of a noble status. Moreover, she had a clean background and could be considered the daughter of a minor official. Sending her to the Prince of England's palace meant that she could not just be a maid. At the very least, she had to be given the status of a concubine.
Since Qu Moying, the principal wife, had suggested this, the Queen Mother agreed immediately, which saved face for both parties. As for Qu Moying, she was a generous and decent principal wife, and that was how it should be.
As for the Queen, the people she has bestowed should, under such circumstances, be given positions. This is also what everyone agrees on. If they are not given positions, it would be a disrespect to the Queen.
He didn't even give face to the mother of a country. Just for this reason, Qu Moying's behavior seemed arrogant and rude.
The Queen came here today just for Qu Moying, and for another purpose,
It was also for the two maids she had given to her. These two maids were well trained and were specially sent to Pei Yuanjun. As long as these two maids came to Pei Yuanjun and became his concubines, they would always be useful.
"Your Majesty, are you talking about the two maids who offended me?" Pei Yuanjun stopped laughing and thought for a moment, as if he was really recalling something.
"Did you offend the King of England?" The Queen was stunned.
Pei Yuanjun laughed and said, "Two ignorant maids dared to seduce me on the night of my wedding. If I didn't dislike such seductive women, I'm afraid I would have become the same as the prince that night... and become a joke for others after dinner."
He smiled lazily and spoke lazily, but the meaning of his words made the Queen's face turn red, and her anger surged up, almost out of control.
The joke about Pei Luoan was that on the night of his wedding, he actually left Liu Jingyu alone in the new house and he did not spend the night there.
Even though Pei Luoan did not give Liu Jingyu face in this matter, making Liu Jingyu, the Crown Princess, a laughing stock, Pei Luoan himself was no exception.
I don't know what a princess consort was thinking, but she actually left her own princess consort alone in the bridal chamber on her wedding night...
"How dare those two maids seduce you that day?" The Emperor looked at the Queen coldly and asked.
"So I threw the two maids aside. Since they were brought to my palace by the Queen, they must have been carefully selected. Even if they committed a crime, it might not have been intentional. I did not take their lives. I just let them work to atone for their crimes."
Pei Yuanjun said.
The Queen carefully selected her and asked the Princess of England to bring her to the Prince of England's Palace. Why didn't she send her directly to the Prince of England's Palace? The Emperor knew about this and she had never been sent there to stay before.
Now instead of giving it directly, you are giving it under the name of the Princess of England? The Emperor's expression became colder, and the Empress's hand became longer.
He knew about the previous gift and agreed to it, so he didn't say much. But he was not aware of this matter now.
When the Empress heard the Emperor's cold snort, she knew something was wrong. She just hated Pei Yuanjun's sharp tongue and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, I have told you about this before. You said at that time that you could do anything. I thought that since Princess Ying was short of people, I sent her to her."
She did mention this at the time. If she hadn't mentioned it, she really wouldn't have dared to go to Qu Moying.
But this was really just a deliberate small mention. The emperor mistakenly thought that he wanted to use a gentler method to send it over, so as to prevent the person who sent it from losing his life, so he agreed without thinking.
Now that I think about it, it’s true!
Seeing the Queen's explanation, Pei Yuanjun smiled even more brightly: "Since Your Majesty knows about the two maids, I will explain to Your Majesty how these two maids seduced me that day."
"No need to say more, I understand." The emperor hurriedly stopped him.
Seeing him smiling like that, seemingly with joy, the emperor could sense some annoyance in him. He knew that this boy might be angry and might say something unpleasant soon.
They are just two maids who have made no progress. If you don't like them, just throw them aside. As for the Empress's face, for the Emperor, his own son's mood is more important.
This matter is over now.
Is this going to be picked up high and dropped low again? The Queen was annoyed and secretly gritted her teeth. She didn't expect these two maids to be so disappointing. Why did they have to seduce each other on the wedding day? If Pei Yuanjun really threw Qu Moying aside for these two maids, the Emperor would also hold her accountable.
But is this true? Why doesn't she believe it
"Empress, the Miss Xu you mentioned, her way of making big things small and small things disappear..." Pei Yuanjun's smile became more and more charming, and his sleeping phoenix eyes were not as gentle as before, revealing a bit of darkness that made the Empress palpitate, "I am really not worried about Miss Xu and Miss Wang."
"A woman who has done something shameful and disobeyed the rules of the boudoir still wants to touch my wife? It would be fine if the queen didn't reprimand such a woman, but she threw the royal family's reputation to the ground and let such a woman trample on it. I really don't know where the royal etiquette is, and where is the royal face that the queen has been maintaining?"
"King of England... why do you say that about a lady from an aristocratic family?" The Queen's face flushed, this was too rude.
"If the Queen doesn't believe it, you can ask someone to investigate. Now everyone outside knows that this matter was caused by Miss Xu herself, and now she has voluntarily entered the Qu Mansion as a concubine because of the scandal she committed. But the Queen is still asking for a position as the main wife for her?" Pei Yuanjun narrowed his eyes and said.
"What?" The Queen was shocked and could hardly believe her ears.
"The Queen doesn't know about this?" Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows when he met the Queen's shocked gaze.
"This palace... This palace really doesn't know. When Madam Fengyangbo came to talk to me before, she was still talking about this matter to me... How come Miss Xu became a concubine in just a short while? This... Did someone do something here?" The Queen asked anxiously.
This happened so fast that she didn't want to believe it.
Mrs. Feng Yangbo had just left the palace not long ago, and things had turned out like this? She was already in a hurry, could it be that she still fell behind
But...how is this possible
"If you don't believe me, you can check. Before I entered the palace, I heard that the matter was over. As for what happened before that... You don't really need to complain to the emperor. Even if a woman like this is really killed, my wife can afford it."
Pei Yuanjun raised the corners of his thin lips and smiled, but these words were like an ice-cold sword, piercing the Queen's heart.
As soon as these words came out, the Queen knew that something bad was going to happen.
"Empress, Princess Ying did nothing wrong in this matter. You don't need to report this to me. If you can't find out about this kind of trivial matter in the future, and you still waste my time, I can ask Concubine He to help you handle the affairs in the future, so that you don't have to misunderstand or believe the wrong thing."
"Come here, let Concubine He help the Queen to handle the affairs of the palace from now on." After the emperor said this, without even looking at the Queen's face which turned pale instantly, he instructed Li Quan.
"Yes, I will go and announce the decree right away!" Li Quan responded with a smile. He looked at the pale and unbelievable face of the Queen and felt that this person... was really not smart. Even if he wanted to make a false accusation, he had to understand the matter clearly first. Besides, the Princess of England was easy to mess with, but the King of England was not...
Why would a queen of a country come to complain? This shows that she lacks magnanimity...
