There was a sense of unease in his heart, and Qianjius gaze lingered on Qinggui Fei for a moment before lowering his head, while Xian Fei had been paying attention to Qianjiu all along.
"Hmph! Qianjiu, if I were you, Id surrender first. Otherwise, youll be dragging down the entire Qian family!"
Listening to Xian Feis words, Qian Jiujius mouth corners rose slightly, and suddenly thought of a message she heard from Mu Ye Xiang, today the mother and daughter of the Qian family would also enter the palace.
Qianjias mother and daughter would definitely not want to expose themselves, otherwise Qianjia would be finished and Qianyuge would also be doomed.
I really dont know if this virtuous consort is truly foolish or just pretending to be, suppressing the urge to roll my eyes, I look at the virtuous consort: "Virtuous Consort, I dont know where I have offended you?"
"You must want me dead? My father and mother are not here, you just want me to plead guilty. Fortunately, the Queen and my Empress Mother are both here."
"Otherwise, Im afraid Ill really have to worry about my own safety. Is it because the virtuous imperial concubine has already determined that she cant get the rejuvenating sacred goods from me?"
"At first, they doubted that the beauty product was not made by me, but in fact, they wanted to steal my secret recipe. Now they are framing me as not being the legitimate daughter of the Qian family, and even accusing the Qian family of deceiving the emperor."
"I really cant understand, what have I done to offend you? Or is it because you also asked for the eldest daughter of the Qian family on behalf of the Third Prince and were rejected, so youre framing me?"
The empress was surprised and exclaimed: "Ah, so theres such a thing? Why havent I heard of it before?"
This thing is really true, Qianjiu didnt lie, its just that at that time, because Muyexiao hadnt been injured yet, so Qianshang was still wavering.
She didnt promise the Third Prince, and coincidentally, Qian Shangshu didnt promise the Third Prince either. The Emperor then issued a decree, marrying Qian Yuge to Mu Ye Xiao.
The concubines looked at Xian Fei with some suspicion in their eyes. Could it be that she really wanted to eliminate her opponent just because she couldnt get married?
Xian Fei looked at the gaze of the crowd, which was fixed on her, and couldnt help but feel a little indignant: "Hmph, even if my familys prince came to propose, it wouldnt be for you, but for the legitimate daughter of the esteemed Qian family. Are you that person?"
"How dare you swear that you are the legitimate daughter of a noble family? Shameless, youre obviously an illiterate concubine-born daughter, yet you still dare to argue with me here."
"Shut up, Xian Fei, dont repeatedly and endlessly nag my daughter-in-law."
Qing Guifei had been silent for a while when she suddenly burst out, which startled Xianfei.
Xian Fei looked at Qing Gui Fei: "Whats wrong, are you feeling guilty? Dont tell me you dont want to figure out whether this woman in front of us is really the legitimate daughter of the Qian family?"
Qing Guifei coldly snorted: "Isnt someone already on their way to invite Chancellor Qian? Ive also sent for the Emperor, when they arrive, it will naturally become clear."
"Youre bullying me and my daughter-in-law here, its really unbecoming of you! Dont you think its shameful? I find it even more shameful!"
Xian Feis face stiffened, this matter was indeed true, no matter how you put it, she was considered a senior of Qianjiu, and treating a junior like this, being overbearing and intimidating, was really unbecoming.
Having thought it through, Xianfei let out a cold snort and stopped speaking, silently waiting for the palace maid and eunuchs who went to invite people to return.
Because Qianjia mother and daughter were already in the palace this morning, they came the fastest. As soon as they walked in, Xianfei looked at them with shining eyes.
Qianjiu also watched as the mother and daughter approached, but it was Madam Qian who quickly knelt to the ground: "Your humble servant and daughter pay their respects to Her Majesty the Empress, Consort Qing, Consort Xian, and Consort Yun..."
After seeing all the concubines, Qian Fu Ren finally looked at Qian Jiu Jiu: "The ministers wife has seen Xiang Wang Fei."
Qianjiu burst into laughter and said to Qian Furen: "Mother, please get up quickly."
The imperial consorts looked at the mother and daughter, but didnt notice anything unusual. Xianfei looked at Qian Yuge: "Madam Qian, Id like to ask you, is the woman in front of us, Xiaowangfei, really the eldest daughter of your family?"
Qians wife looked at Xian Fei with some confusion: "According to what you said, Xiao Wangfei is my daughter, naturally the legitimate daughter of our Qian family."
Xianfeis face suddenly looked very ugly, Qianjiu couldnt help but laugh, they all said that Xianfei was a pig brain, didnt even think about it, as long as Madame Qian didnt want the Qian family to be executed for the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Everyone died biting their teeth and said that she was Qian Yuge. Its ridiculous to think that Mrs. Qian would sell herself, and Qianjiu suddenly felt extremely bored.
It seems like this imperial palace is a place where its better to come less often, there isnt a single good person inside.
Thinking of this, Qianjiu couldnt help but think that Muyexiao should appear quickly and take her out of the palace. Compared to the imperial palace, the Wangfu was much quieter.
Honglian and Hongshou, the two of them, have been standing behind Qianjiujiu all along, watching as Qianjiujiu has remained calm from start to finish, and in their hearts, they cant help but admire him a little.
But it was unknown that Qianjius calmness from head to toe came from Muyexiao. If the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty really intended to make Muyexiao the crown prince.
Knowing she can cure Mu Yes illness, nothing will happen to her. In fact, shell even be protected, thats why she can remain so calm.
In the scene, Qian Furen still looked bewildered, looking at Xian Fei: "What do you mean by this, my familys Yu Ge is married to Wang Xi because of the imperial edict."
"Having entered as the Imperial Butterflys First-Rank Consort, what is Xian Fei suspecting?"
Xian Fei was blocked by Qing Gui Fei several times today, and now a Shangshu Fu Ren even dared to come and accuse her, suddenly a slap of anger landed on Qian Fu Rens face.
"How dare you question what I say?"
In Xianfeis heart, she was even thinking that this might be a trick set up by Qianshang Shu to humiliate her today.
Qing Guifei looked at Xian Feis actions and coldly snorted: "Whats wrong, Xian Fei sister? Are you getting angry because of shame? You cant frame my daughter-in-law, are you planning to force a confession?"
"Its a pity that youve forgotten how great a mothers love is. With just one slap, you think you can make a thousand wives disown their daughters? Im afraid it wont be that easy."
Xian Fei was infuriated by Qing Gui Feis words and pointed at her, "You, dont be too smug, I wont let you off."
As soon as the words came out, a mans voice was heard: "Who wont you let go of? Tell me about it, I didnt know that my virtuous consort was so formidable."
"You dare to threaten the wife of a minister in public? Tell me, who will you spare?"
The emperors voice suddenly appeared, which made all the concubines stunned for a moment, and then they all bowed to the emperor: "We have seen the emperor."
"Get up, all of you! Which one is my daughter-in-law?"
At this time, Qianjiu stood up and took a look at the person in front of him. He looked like he was only in his thirties or forties, still in his prime. But his sons were all grown up.
I wonder if this emperor will feel suffocated. Of course, Qianjiu only took a glance and lowered his head. He walked out and looked at the emperor.
"The daughter-in-law has met with the Emperor Father, long live the Emperor Father"
"Hey, whats going on? You guys seem to be in a heated discussion!"
The emperor said and looked at Xian Fei again, but Xian Fei was kneeling on the ground motionless, yet her heart had begun to worry, how come she was heard by the emperor.
This time is finished, will definitely be punished, and its a loss of face.
Qianjiu also took a look at Xianfei, who was kneeling on the ground, then looked at the Emperor, and finally glanced at Qing Guifei, with an expression of wanting to speak but stopping herself, before lowering her head in the end.
"A child does not speak of their mothers mistakes. No matter what, Empress Xian is still a senior, and as her daughter-in-law, I dare not speak."
The emperor suddenly laughed and said with a smile: "Hes a good kid, has filial piety. But dont worry, I wont let someone with filial piety be bullied."
After finishing speaking, she glanced at Qing Gui Fei: "Qing Gui Fei, you say it, what were you just discussing? Could it be that threatening the ministers wife in public also has your contribution?"
This remark was a bit too severe, and Consort Qing was taken aback. She knew that the Emperor must be somewhat dissatisfied with her, and indeed, this matter wouldnt have happened if she hadnt tacitly agreed to it.
The mother and daughter of the Qian family would never have appeared on stage, but now this scene is all about what Consort Qing wants to happen.
Its just a pity that the emperor arrived too promptly, so nothing had happened yet. The unease in Qianjius heart disappeared as soon as he saw Mu Ye Xiang following the emperor into the room.
On the contrary, she was replaced by a kind of stability. Qianjiu was puzzled, why could she be sure that Muyexiao would protect her safety?
Occasionally looking at Mu Ye Xiao with some confusion, Qianjiujiu suddenly understood after listening to the emperors words. Her unease came from Xing Gui Fei.
She couldnt help but frown slightly, thinking that she had already figured out her relationship with Consort Qing, only to realize that Consort Qing was still prepared to abandon her at any time.
It seems that this Qing Guifei is also not a person worthy of being trusted, having taken so many benefits from her, and when the time comes to truly sacrifice her, she wont even bat an eyelid.
So now Qianjiu didnt say a word, but quietly waited for Consort Qingguis response.
The Empress Qing looked at the Emperor with a hint of grievance: "Your Majesty, am I this kind of person in your heart? It was clearly me who suffered injustice today."
"I dont know whats wrong with Xian Feis sister today, first she wanted the secret recipe for Wangfeis nourishing and beauty product, then she failed to steal it and said that Wangfei is an illiterate concubine..."
Qing Guifei spoke in a wronged tone, finally recounting the events from earlier. She then looked at the Emperor and said: "Your Majesty, do you think my sister is dissatisfied with me as her older sister?"
"My concubine and daughter-in-law made their first appearance together, but ended up slapping me in the face. Your Majesty, I am wronged."
Looking at Qing Guifeis appearance with pear flowers in the rain, combined with todays makeup, Qing Guifei is indeed charming. Xianfei was furious.
The Emperor looked at Xian Fei: "Xian Fei, are all the things that Qing Gui Fei said true?"
