Chapter 1106: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (two hundred and twenty-eight)
When the emperor was furious and everyone knelt on the ground, no one dared to speak. Even the queen just lowered her head helplessly and admitted her mistake, saying that she was negligent for a moment. She was worried about her mother's health and neglected to discipline the ninth princess.
The Emperor's questioning of the Empress wasn't just about the Ninth Princess's pregnancy, but also about what had happened today. Why had the two suddenly started arguing? How did the Eleventh Princess know that the Ninth Princess had consulted the Emperor? Was the Empress behind this?
Although the emperor could not say these words directly, he believed that the queen understood what he meant. However, the queen did not admit it. He stared at everyone in the hall with disappointment.
Children are a debt. For the sake of her daughter, Concubine Shu can only bow to Concubine Jia. She can't really beat her daughter in public.
After some witty remarks, the matter was finally settled.
The purpose was to pray for the empress dowager and keep vigil, but something like this happened. After announcing all the decrees, the emperor carried the unconscious little Fifteenth from the side and left with Concubine Jia.
Princess Eleven fell to the ground, crying uncontrollably. She was so embarrassed today.
Concubine Shu couldn't believe that the emperor had left like that. She sneered at the empress, "Sister Queen is so calculating."
The Queen, however, said frankly, "I don't understand what you're talking about, sister. I couldn't have anticipated what happened today. Who would have thought the Royal Princess would be so presumptuous? Sister, you must take good care of the Eleventh Princess from now on. Fifteenth Princess is different. His Majesty loves Fifteenth Princess the most. If anything were to happen to Fifteenth Princess, and if Concubine Jia insisted on demanding her life... well, sister, you should really be grateful to Madam Wei for stepping forward."
What could Qingli say? She didn't need to speak on royal affairs. Of course, she smiled humbly. It was a tiring day. She really didn't want to get involved, but everyone was just giving up.
Others acted badly because they felt that they could not shake Concubine Shu's foundation. Even if something really happened to the Fifteenth Princess, the Emperor would not blame those present too much.
She was different. She knew that there was a huge difference between the princess and the prince, especially the only two princes.
If Zhao Jing died in front of everyone, the emperor would really settle accounts with him.
……
When Qingli left the palace, Wei Ying was waiting for her at the gate. They boarded the carriage together, and Qingli rested her head gently on Wei Ying's chest, taking a short, exhausted nap.
When they returned to the palace, the rewards from the emperor, empress, Concubine Jia and Concubine Shu had arrived.
Wei Yingcai asked in detail what had happened, and Qingli then told him everything that happened in the palace.
The palace incident centered around a fight between the Eleventh and Ninth Princesses, which resulted in the accidental injury of the Fifteenth Princess. The Queen Mother's funeral hadn't even concluded, but the palace was already in turmoil. The Ninth Princess was to be married in three days, the Fifteenth Princess was injured and unconscious, and the Eleventh Princess was confined to reflect on her actions.
"In that situation, if you suddenly stepped forward and the situation didn't deteriorate further, I'm afraid the person behind it wouldn't be happy. By the way, does the Emperor really value the Fifteenth Princess that much? Would he rather turn against Concubine Shu in public?"
Wei Ying's question made Qingli feel a little strange. She suddenly remembered that she seemed not to have mentioned Zhao Jing's identity.
Now that they were the only two in the room, she motioned Wei Ying to come closer and whispered something.
"Are you sure? That's impossible. What kind of place is that? How could something like this go wrong?"
Qingli nodded, and looking at Wei Ying's shocked and disbelieving expression, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. The emperor's bold move would shock everyone.
"Was this intentional? Concubine Jia? No, no, no, she couldn't have done it alone." Wei Ying quickly figured it out, but still couldn't understand: "Why would Your Majesty do this?"
These outsiders were just shocked, but the concubines in the palace were filled with hatred.
But people's hatred will also change in the face of interests.
For example, if she was bored today, she activated a voice eavesdropping tool from the system, and the queen's mind changed.
