Chapter 276
Qingying was silent.
She naturally wouldn't think that the Queen Mother's words were really meant to punish her.
The Empress Dowager has spies throughout the six palaces, and she must have a grasp of today's events.
The more embarrassed Qingying is at this moment, the more Hongli will dislike Jingse more.
She knelt down slowly and said, "Yes, it's all my fault. Please punish me, Queen Mother."
"Queen Mother."
Concubine Chun stepped forward and knelt down. "Empress Dowager, I dare to say that what happened today was not the Empress' fault. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy and investigate."
The Queen Mother swept her eyes over the few people and turned around. "It's always a mess to make such a commotion in the South Third Courtyard. Jingni's injuries need to be examined by the imperial physician. Your Majesty, please lead the people to Shoukang Palace."
No one dared to disobey the Queen Mother's order.
The group came in a mighty procession and left in a mighty procession.
By the time everyone was seated in Shoukang Palace, a cup of tea had already passed.
This journey is enough for the subordinates to report today's events clearly.
At this moment, the two princesses were kneeling below, and the queen mother's face was ashen, obviously very dissatisfied.
"A legitimate princess, yet she speaks and acts without any rules, no different from a street shrew, she is simply too presumptuous!"
From the time Hongli had the honor of meeting the Empress Dowager until today, this was the first time he saw her so angry.
Just as I was thinking about how to start comforting her, the Queen Mother spoke again.
"Queen, kneel down!"
Qingying muttered in her heart.
The Queen Mother was truly flawless in her acting.
He grumbled in his heart, but his movements were not slow.
Qingying knelt down, and Concubine Chun dared not continue sitting.
He quickly stood up and knelt down.
The Queen Mother continued, "You are the Empress, the Queen Mother. The children in the harem are all your children. Jing Se behaved like this today. No matter who instigated it, it is ultimately your fault. Do you have any objection to what I say?"
"The Empress Dowager is teaching me this, and my daughter-in-law has no objection."
The Queen Mother's expression softened slightly when she heard this. "But there are many children in the palace, and you have to take care of Yonghu yourself, so it's inevitable that you will miss something."
"But the princesses' education cannot be delayed any further. I have nothing to do in Shoukang Palace. From today on, Jingse will live in Shoukang Palace and I will teach her personally."
"I just don't believe it. A legitimate princess is so good, can't she be taught well?!"
"In this case, does the Emperor have any objection?"
How could Hongli have any objection?
"It is naturally a blessing for Jingse that the Empress Dowager is willing to take the trouble. I have no objection."
"No, I don't want to live in Shoukang Palace!"
As soon as Hongli finished speaking, Jingse suddenly objected loudly.
Such an unruly behavior made Hongli's face darken even more.
"How dare you! It's your blessing that the Queen Mother is willing to teach you, and you dare to refute me!"
"Your Majesty, my daughter's mother was not blessed. She passed away right after you ascended the throne. Everyone says she was unlucky, but Your Majesty, was there really no reason for my mother's death?"
Jingse burst into tears, but every word she spoke was extremely clear.
"Mammy told me that my mother was murdered!"
Qingying couldn't help but raise her head slightly and glance at the empress dowager.
But no emotion could be seen on the other person's face.
He lowered his head and Hongli's voice sounded again.
"I know exactly why your mother passed away. I don't need you to remind me."
"You act recklessly and unbecomingly, totally unlike a princess of a certain country. If you are not properly disciplined, you will definitely bring disgrace to the royal family in the future."
"The Queen Mother is willing to teach you because she still thinks you have room for improvement. I don't want to hear another word of rebuttal. Otherwise, I wouldn't care whether I have you as my daughter or not."
Hongli's voice grew colder as he spoke.
At the end of the day, only indifference remained.
Jingse seemed to have forgotten to shed tears after hearing this.
He just stared at the ground, speechless for a long time.
The Queen Mother looked at the other party and waved her hand, "Jianqiu, have someone take the princess away. Queen, you two can get up."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
After taking a sip of tea, the Queen Mother continued, "Royal Princess, in the future, there will be no shortage of opportunities for marriage between the Mongols and the Qing. If you raise a princess who harbors resentment towards the Qing, I'm afraid this marriage will not end well."
