Fengyi Palace finally became completely quiet again. After seeing off the annoying Princess Changying and Consort De, who was even more of a headache for Empress Fang, Aunt Xiao had some free time and asked her softly, "Your Majesty, then we... ..."
Should I go to His Majesty and plead for Princess Changying
When Concubine De first arrived, she hinted to Queen Fang to treat Princess Changying with gentleness.
When did the Peng family become involved with Princess Changying’s Mansion
Empress Fang frowned under the lamp, and after a while she ordered someone, "Go and help me check what's going on in the Imperial Study."
The matter of Puci Temple had been going on for a whole day, and she originally didn't want to get involved - the marriage of Princess Changying's Li Gui Niang was decided after she discussed it with Emperor Longqing.
But Princess Changying always got into trouble again and again.
Previously, the person chosen was Li Gui Niang, who was satisfactory to both Princess Changying and Li Gui Niang. However, Li Gui Niang was a hopeless case and was of no use at all. Instead, she made everyone lose face because of the trouble she caused.
Later on, even the title of lucky star they had arranged for her was of no use - this idiot was actually so stupid as to use her family's influence to oppress others and take human lives lightly.
It's really stupid.
Even so, she gave Li Gui Niang another way - letting her marry Chu Jingzong.
Now she can't even marry Chu Jingzong.
He actually colluded with the vassal kings, what an idiot!
Faced with such a crime, you still want her to help plead for mercy
The Empress De is really...
Not only did she think that Concubine De had made a stupid move, even Chongying, who was beside Concubine De, did not understand why Concubine De would go to Queen Fang and ask her to speak for Princess Changying.
"We have no friendship with Princess Changying's family..." Chongying hesitated, but still tried to persuade them: "And this time Princess Changying almost harmed someone in our family..."
She looked up at Concubine De in confusion: "Why are you helping them?"
Not to mention that Princess Changying's Mansion is now basically a dead end and has no use at all.
The weather was hot, so Defei returned to the palace and drank tea before going to see her son.
Chu Jingyuan grew very fast, and the milk of one wet nurse was not enough for him to drink. Whenever Emperor Longqing saw him, he would praise him for his good looks.
He was indeed good-looking, round and plump, with an almost invisible neck, and very chubby and endearing.
He was particularly fond of laughing, and Emperor Longqing came to the Lanyue Palace more and more frequently for him.
Concubine De held her son in her arms and couldn't let him go. She teased him for a long time before she was willing to let him go. She pinched his face with her hands and then turned back to suppress the smile on her face: "That Queen... will she beg for mercy if I ask her to?"
Queen Fang has always been a suspicious person, and she is even more suspicious of Princess Changying. When she went to Queen Fang to plead for mercy, Queen Fang would only think that Princess Changying was two-timing and would not care about her affairs.
And as long as she does not interfere, Emperor Longqing will never tolerate Princess Changying any longer this time.
The curtains were lowered, and the temperature in the palace was just right. Concubine De found a comfortable position to lean against, and then she laughed coldly again: "Send some rewards to Awei tomorrow, and tell her that she has been wronged."
After a pause, he said, "Send one copy to Princess Shouning as well."
When you do good things, you always leave your name behind.
Otherwise, how can you get rewards
We have to thank Princess Changying for making such a fuss. From now on, the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion will have to owe the Peng family a favor, and showing kindness to Wei An, isn't that showing kindness to Wei An
Shigekura responded in a low voice, "I obey your orders."
The shadow cast by the lantern in Haitang Palace was cast on the ground, a flickering shadow. The matter had finally been reviewed and confirmed to be free of mistakes and omissions.
Emperor Longqing looked confused.
King Zheng couldn't bear it any longer. He looked at Li Gui Niang, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, with indignation. He then looked coldly at Chu Jingzong, who looked like a lump of meat even when kneeling. He couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "Can't you tolerate the fact that I have a daughter?!"
He was confused and angry: "What on earth are you dissatisfied with?! She is just a twelve-year-old girl. How did she offend you that you have to plot against her to the death?!"
He was so angry that he started to speak without thinking: "Royal brother! Did you find me a daughter or a trouble?! Because of her, I can't even eat in peace. Who knows when she will be targeted again! Royal brother, you and the Royal sister-in-law..."
He muttered, "You and the Empress's wife are really bad at finding people..."
Emperor Longqing shouted angrily, "Nonsense!" He picked up the memorial beside him and threw it at him, saying angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
He looked at Princess Changying and Li Gui Niang with complicated eyes and said, "What else do you have to say?"
The calmer he was, the more frightened Princess Changying became. It was no use to defend herself at this moment. She made up her mind and simply admitted it. She finally burst into tears: "Your Majesty! It's all because of that Wei An...! It's all because of that Wei An... If it weren't for her, my son wouldn't have died! Gui Niang wouldn't have ended up like this..."
Princess Duan hung her head and dared not utter a word. She was so frightened that she almost knocked her lips with her teeth. She hated Princess Changying in her heart.
She never thought that Princess Changying clearly said that the arrangement was flawless, but in the end the truth was revealed. She never expected that Princess Changying would say that.
What kind of poor person is Li Gui Niang? She even looks down on her son!
If she hadn't hated Li Gui Niang and agreed to Princess Chang Ying's proposal, thinking that it would be best if she could replace her with a Fairy Princess, she would have agreed to be Princess Chang Ying's accomplice. Now she and Prince Duan's Mansion wouldn't have fallen into this embarrassing situation... ...
Prince Zheng's face was livid. "Gui Niang was the one who provoked me first! It wasn't Wei An holding a knife behind her back and forcing her to instigate my brother to kill someone! It wasn't Wei An forcing your son to disobey the imperial decree and return to the capital secretly! Who can you blame? You don't blame yourself for not educating your son well, and you don't blame yourself for doting on your child too much. Now you blame others instead. You really refuse to repent!"
Prince Zheng finished what Emperor Longqing wanted to say. Emperor Longqing took his hands off the table and looked at them coldly as he made his decision: "Changying, as a princess, you have repeatedly done such immoral things..."
These four words "immoral and corrupt" made Princess Changying slap her face so hard that it hurt.
She had never lost so much face in her life.
She had lived a respectable life all her life, but in the end, she was criticized by the emperor over matters concerning her children. How could she continue to live with dignity
What dignity does she have
Even if Emperor Longqing could spare her, Li Gui Niang would have lived a life worse than death.
When she thought of this, she fell to the ground in frustration and disappointment, her face pale, unable to utter a word.
