239, the palace is happy(2/2)
Queen Ruan held a cup of tea in her hand, raised her fingers of orchids, gently scraped the tea leaves with her fingertips, took a sip of her gracefully and calmly, then put it down, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a veil.
"I understand the meaning of the imperial concubine, but the palace must ultimately pay attention to the difference between superiority and inferiority. Duanmin is already the eldest princess. In terms of identity as Qin concubine, Qin concubine accuses him in public, where does Bei Jin's superiority and inferiority be placed?"
Queen Ruan's voice was very light and light, but her eyes were very sharp. She glanced at Concubine Qin. Concubine Qin couldn't sit still, and stood up with a embarrassed expression.
Concubine Liu took a deep breath and sneered repeatedly, "The Empress means that Concubine Qin was wrong today. Which Concubine Qin said wrongly? Which one was not born to the eldest princess?"
Now it is no longer a question of who is right or wrong, but a contest between Concubine Liu and Empress Ruan.
"The mother is the mother of a country. Concubine Liu, you are so arrogant, and you dare to shout at the mother. What kind of morality is it?"
Princess Duanmin criticized Concubine Liu and always reminded Concubine Liu that although she was a concubine, she was just a concubine, and she still had to behave properly in front of Queen Ruan!
Concubine Liu's face changed slightly.
"My mother is in charge of the six palaces. It was the father's personal instructions, Princess, why bother to provoke mother and queen? The mother has never been disrespectful to her mother. This matter is nothing today. The princess is not upset, so why should she vent her anger on others?"
Princess Xinyang saw that her mother was wronged, so she couldn't bear it and wanted to come forward to tear Princess Duanmin.
The ladies present looked at each other in a glance. The harem that had been quiet for more than ten years was suddenly torn apart. Empress Ruan and Concubine Liu actually got into the fight. It was incredible.
Concubine Qin was a little embarrassed when she stood there. She was neither standing nor standing. She had known that she would have provoked Queen Ruan, so she should have shut up just now.
Queen Ruan squinted her eyes at Princess Xinyang. Princess Xinyang had no respect at all, and she didn't even have a ritual. She stood directly beside Concubine Liu.
The Liu family was arrogant for a moment, and Queen Ruan sneered, "Go and invite the emperor. I want to see if your mother has the final say in this harem or whether it is your mother who has the final say in it!"
Princess Xinyang's eyelids twitched. What happened to Queen Ruan today? She was pressing her step by step, not as gentle and generous as before.
Concubine Liu also noticed something was wrong and squinted her eyes at Princess Xinyang. Princess Xinyang stepped forward with a thorn in the air, "Mother, my son-in-law did not intend to collide with her mother, but was so angry that the eldest princess disrespected her mother. She made a mistake for a moment. Please forgive me."
"I can't bear the apology from Princess Xinyang, so I dare not take it!"
Princess Xinyang looked embarrassed and touched a nail that was neither soft nor hard. Her face was a little uneasy. She dared not embarrass Queen Ruan in public, so she dared to quarrel with Princess Duanmin in private.
No one knows why Princess Duanmin is like taking the wrong medicine today. She is very angry and talks about it. She is very different from her previous personality.
Could it be that because he became the eldest princess, his back was straight?
Not entirely, it was like a different person. The inner hall was as quiet as a chicken, and no one spoke, for fear that one side would harm the fish in the pond and be punished.
Soon Emperor Beijin arrived and listened to the maid next to Empress Ruan saying what had just happened. Emperor Beijin frowned, first squinted his eyes to Princess Duanmin, and then looked at Concubine Liu and others.
"Your Majesty, Duan Min is already the legitimate princess of my concubine, and she has a noble status. It is inappropriate for Concubine Qin to mention it in public. It is not a big deal for Duan Min to be angry. There are so many wives present, Concubine Qin clearly doesn't take the royal family's face to heart."
As soon as Queen Ruan spoke, Concubine Qin did not expect to be labeled as a big hat to despise the royal family. When her legs were weak, she immediately knelt on the ground, "I... I deserve to die. I didn't intend to offend the eldest princess, so I beg the emperor to forgive me."
Emperor Bei Jin took a deep breath and glanced at Concubine Qin. Concubine Qin felt a cool breeze coming out from her back, and it was chilly, and subconsciously looked at Concubine Liu.
Concubine Liu's little face is not good-looking. Who doesn't know that Concubine Qin is her Concubine Liu's person? If Emperor Beijin punished Concubine Qin, he would beat her up in her own face!
"Emperor, Concubine Qin is unintentional, not maliciously slandered, but also a kind reminder. I don't want to be misunderstood by the Empress. Please spare Concubine Qin this time." Concubine Liu smiled charmingly at Emperor Beijin, with a soft voice, and her eyes were full of prayers, "I will scold Concubine Qin hard when I look back, and I will tell her not to say more in the future."
Queen Ruan squinted her eyes and then smiled faintly, "Leave the matter in the palace to Concubine Liu. Concubine Liu is in charge of the palace. She made a mistake and laughed it off. Even the legitimate princess dared to arrange it at will."
"Empress..." Concubine Liu gritted her teeth, thinking that she was afraid that this matter would not be good, so she gritted her teeth and slapped her eyes. Concubine Qin understood and slapped herself twice. "I deserve to die, I didn't mean it. I would like to ask the Empress and the Princess to calm down."
"The mother also relieves her anger. She is not worth it if she is angry. The son is not seriously injured." Princess Duanmin approached Queen Ruan, and was well-behaved and gentle, completely different from what she looked like just now.
Seeing this, Emperor Bei Jin couldn't help but look at Princess Duanmin more, "Have your legs been done?"
"Thank you for your concern. As the legitimate princess of Beijin, I dare not slacken. I practice hard every day, and I don't want my father to be criticized, but I don't want my son's past..." Princess Duanmin's eyes turned red and sniffed, but she didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Emperor Beijin heard other meanings.
Concubine Qin's eyelids were twitching. Who knew why Princess Duanmin took the wrong medicine today and grabbed her and kept holding her.
"The eldest princess, I am confused for a while, so I ask the eldest princess to be kind to you."
Concubine Qin kept kowtowing to Princess Duanmin. Unfortunately, Emperor Beijin's anger had been raised, and Concubine Qin still made a taboo. In front of so many people, she exposed Princess Duanmin's past, which undoubtedly put the royal face on the ground and allowed others to trample on it.
Emperor Beijin could not swallow this tone no matter what.
"From now on, Concubine Qin will be demoted to Guiren Qin and will be suspended for three months!"
Qin Fei almost fainted when she heard this. She finally climbed to the position of concubine. In a blink of an eye, she became a little nobleman. She was really unwilling to give up and couldn't help crying, "Emperor..."
"I dare to say something more and I will immediately go to the cold palace!" Emperor Bei Jin scolded angrily. Concubine Qin shrank her neck and did not dare to say another word, and retreated with tactfulness.
At this moment, Concubine Liu's face looked extremely ugly. She tightened her lips and punished Concubine Qin, which was like telling everyone that the central palace was still the central palace after all, and that no one could trample on it.
Concubine Liu couldn't swallow this tone.
"vomit!"
Queen Ruan loosened her hands, and the cup in her hand fell to the ground, and several petals were broken with a bang. Queen Ruan's body softened and she was in poor spirits.
"Mother!" Princess Duanmin shouted anxiously, "Hurry, please ask the imperial physician!"
Emperor Beijin was also frightened and hurried to help Empress Ruan. Empress Ruan shook her head, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Concubine Liu curled her lips and could still pretend when she was old.
The imperial physician came soon and took the pulse for Queen Ruan. After a while, the imperial physician knelt on the ground. Emperor Bei Jin hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Queen?"
"Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Empress, the Empress is happy, it has been more than three months."
A huge wave was shocked by a sentence, and the people present were stunned and could hardly believe their ears.
Is Queen Ruan happy?
The most unacceptable thing is Concubine Liu. It seemed like a thunder exploded in her mind, and the central palace was actually happy!
Queen Ruan lowered her head shyly and put one hand on her lower abdomen. "I was also surprised. This child is hard-won. I dare not tell the emperor within three months. Since I raised Duanmin, my body has improved and I am pregnant. Emperor, Duanmin is my lucky star."
Princess Duanmin lowered her head, "It was the mother who was kind-hearted. God gave her a little prince. The son-in-law soon had a little brother. The mother should not be angry in the future. It is the most important thing to keep a good body."
Listening to Princess Duanmin's mouth a little prince, Concubine Liu wished she could tear Princess Duanmin's mouth apart.
Once the little prince is born, what's wrong with King Heng? Who doesn't know that Emperor Beijin has been looking forward to having a legitimate son for so many years. Emperor Beijin is the legitimate son and has never liked the concubine's son very much. Every day on the 15th day of the lunar month, he can't go to Fengqi Palace.
But so many years have passed, Queen Ruan’s body has not moved at all, and Concubine Liu has already determined that she cannot give birth to it.
At this critical moment, Empress Ruan was actually happy, which was incredible.
"Empress..." Emperor Bei Jin was very excited, holding Queen Ruan's hand tightly, and glanced at Princess Duanmin again, and his eyes immediately changed, "Duanmin is indeed my lucky star!"
One sentence undoubtedly tells everyone that Princess Duanmin will soon be favored!
"Imperial Doctor, what's the big deal about the Queen's body?" asked Emperor Bei Jin.
"Back to the emperor, the empress has been well maintained over the years, and the fetus in her abdomen is very stable."
