After rebirth, she was forced to marry by the sickly prince

Chapter 233 233, Offending Concubine Shu

"It's okay. My mother is here!"

She had to protect her child. After softly comforting her, she turned to look at Aunt Chen who was chasing after her, and responded loudly:

"I'm sorry, this aunt, I'm really sorry. The child at home is so willful. I didn't know that it was carefully cultivated by Empress Shufei. It looked beautiful, but she picked it off with just one hand. Yun Jiang would like to express his sincere gratitude to Empress Shufei.

Apologize..."

Aunt Chen was the old man next to Concubine Shu. When she saw it was Mu Yunjiang, she didn't say anything, but stood there as if waiting for someone to come over.

The next moment, someone responded angrily:

"Is this something that can be solved by just apologizing?"

Concubine Shu also came with her.

She stepped forward and snatched the green plum from Huanhuan's hand, caressed the beautiful green flower with her onion fingers, and screamed with heartache in her eyes:

"I have been guarding the palace for three years in order to please Your Majesty. It's a good thing for you that you cut off the best ones as soon as you come up. Come on, Princess Jingbei supervises the urchins in the house and gives me a slap...

…”

For some reason, this concubine Shu was determined to make her life difficult.

In the palace, even if someone is punished, there must be a reason.

You need to know: Mu Yunjiang is a new princess who has been granted the title of County Lord and is married to the royal family for the first time. She is not a cat or a dog with no status in the palace, and she cannot be punished casually.

She saw two maids coming forward to punish her.

Xiao Qizhe suddenly rushed up and shouted: "Shu Fei, my son broke this green plum for Huanhuan to play with. If you want to punish me, then punish me!"

The two maids looked at Xiao Qizhe and stopped immediately.

Without him, only the emperor can decide the rules of the Great Liang and the punishment of the princes. This is because he is afraid that the harem will have too many grievances. If the emperor is not in court one day, and the concubines falsely accuse the underage princes according to their own preferences, then these underage princes will not be able to defend themselves.

Therefore, the emperor must decide the punishment related to the prince. Anyone who maliciously hurts the prince must be held accountable.

Except for the royal daughter-in-law.

Concubine Shu was so angry that she wanted to slap him in the face.

Xiao Qiyu was a scoundrel, and so was Xiao Qizhe. His mother was just an ordinary palace maid, and she gave birth to a son because of the emperor's blessing. The mother could have been more valuable based on the son, but it was a pity that she had a heavy haemorrhage during the birth and died early.

"No, this little girl obviously picked this flower. This matter has nothing to do with the Eighth Prince. This is what I saw with my own eyes."

Aunt Chen next to me testified.

"Xiao Qizhe, okay, how did your mother-in-law teach you, how did you even learn to pretend to be guilty..."

Concubine Shu was furious again.

Mu Yunjiang was very happy to see Xiao Qizhe protecting her in this way. She was afraid that Concubine Shu would be petty and want to harm Qi Zhe in the future, so she pulled him behind her and wanted to reason with Concubine Shu:

"Shu Fei, these green plums are good, but what the emperor wants is peace in the harem and peace in the world. No matter who cut your concubine's plums today, they have all been cut, and they will definitely not be able to be reattached. Otherwise, it's like this

Well, Concubine Shu, I will reward you with a pot of rare jade pomelo, what do you think?"

Yupoluo is a sacred flower. It blooms like jade and is as big as a washbasin. It lasts for a month from the time the flower blooms to the time it fades. It only blooms one or two petals every day, and there are hundreds of double petals...

…

Concubine Shu snorted: "Yupora is a holy flower. Where can you get it? There is no one in the entire Tiandu. I have never heard of Great Liang in so many years."

Yupoluo can be found within the territory.”

"Yes. I can find him."

"Okay, then if you find it for me today, I will forgive this little girl's crime of disrespect..."

Concubine Shu doesn't believe that that dead girl can find Yupoluo.

"It's getting late today, so I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver it. Can I deliver it in two days?" Mu Yunjiang requested.

"No. If there are no flowers to present today, how can I explain to the emperor?"

"But I definitely won't be able to find it today."

"Then let the mother-in-law in charge give the flower thief a good slap on the palm, so that she will remember that when you come to this palace, you must always follow the rules and be cautious in everything. Come on, Xiao Qinghuan damaged the sacred objects and beat her with a ruler.

Ten slaps on the palm of the hand. Princess Jingbei has neglected her duty of discipline and deserves twenty slaps on the palm of the hand. Xiao Qizhe should also be slapped on the palm of his hand. He will go back to the emperor to receive the punishment..."

Concubine Shu is determined to cause trouble.

Xiao Qinghuan was frightened and hurriedly hid behind her mother: This woman is really too fierce.

"Shu Fei, Qing Huan and the Eighth Emperor Brother, please remember all those notes on the palms of your hands to Ji Erchen!"

Mu Yunjiang would not allow his precious daughter to suffer such a crime.

"I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. If you don't know etiquette and follow the rules of the palace, you will have to be punished. If your child makes a mistake, he will have to suffer..."

Concubine Shu wanted to teach this "mother and daughter" a lesson, but to vent her anger on Luo Xunyang - she and Shen Xinglan were close friends.

Shen Xinglan's death was all caused by Xiao Qiyu. As his wife, she had to bear her anger.

Seeing the two maids holding Xiao Qinghuan, Mu Yunjiang snatched the child away and took control of Concubine Shu in his hands with a smile.

"Mu Yunjiang, what do you want to do?"

Concubine Shu immediately became anxious.

"I don't want to do anything, but I just want to say a few words to Concubine Shu: Everyone else, please wait aside while we chat. If Concubine Shu still wants to deal with our mother and daughter, I won't say any more.

Second words..."

Concubine Shu was so angry that she wanted to resist, but she held her tightly. Just when she was about to say something more, she heard Mu Yunjiang whisper coldly in her ear:

"Empress, Yun Jiang Shandu, if you don't want to die in an unknown situation, you can make the matter bigger... Anyway, we will be unlucky together..."

This momentum of risking one's life frightened Concubine Shu, and her cry for help was swallowed down:

"You...step back."

Those who followed Concubine Shu had no choice but to retreat.

Mu Yunjiang let go and said calmly: "Shu Fei, Qing Huan is the child adopted by the prince. He treats me as his own mother. I also regard her as my own daughter. She is only five years old and does not know the rules.

, which is also excusable.

"If you are willing to let me pay, I will compensate you with a jade plant. If you want to punish me, tonight, I will punish your sixth prince Xiao Qiyan for his good masculinity, condoning his male favorite to kill people and plunder goods, and to keep good farmland privately."

, Quan Shuo and the Emperor know..."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Shu's beauty turned pale and she immediately shouted: "You are talking nonsense. This matter is absolutely impossible..."

"Absolutely impossible? Oh, that means you know too little about your son. Since I have said so, I naturally have evidence in hand. When the time comes, it will be you who are embarrassed, and your son who will fall out of favor.

You are the one who is most angry. This bet is a bit big, do you want to bet?"

Concubine Shu was frightened and did not dare to gamble.

Without him, she thought of her son. There didn't seem to be any maids around him. They were all handsome young men or some bodyguards who were good at martial arts. All of them were very good-looking.

After the New Year, her son will get married. The future bride is a woman with good background. If the woman knows that the sixth prince is such a person, the marriage will definitely not happen.

So, how could she dare to bet?

"Okay, this is the end of Xiao Qinghuan's breaking of the green plum. If you talk about this to the emperor, you and I will be sworn enemies in this life. Get out..."

She could only compromise.

Mu Yunjiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, empress."

She quickly grabbed Qing Huan and Xiao Qizhe and left.

Alas, it's a good thing she knew something about her past life, otherwise, the two of them would have been bullied to death today.

Not far away, there was a woman using a telescope to observe what was happening here.

"This Mu Yunjiang is really awesome..."

The woman sighed and said:

"Concubine Shu was very aggressive at the beginning, but now she has become a coward. I'm really curious. I don't know what she said, but Concubine Shu shrinks her proud neck like this... It's incredible...

"

"Girl, she has snatched away King Jingbei, why are you still praising her?" the maidservant shouted angrily.

The woman said calmly: "The person who can be favored by His Highness King Jingbei is naturally a person. How can he win His Highness's love with only appearance? His Highness has always only had the world in his heart..."

"How can the girl become His Highness's wife..." The maid said dullly, "It feels like Your Highness has been fascinated by this little vixen."

"There will be an opportunity tonight." The woman said so firmly.

*

The New Year's Eve dinner will be held at Dianfeng Terrace.

When night falls, there are lanterns on the phoenix platform, silk and bamboo arrays, tea soup flowing, laughter singing, palace maids standing in large numbers, guards patrolling at night...

After Xiao Qiyu returned from the imperial study, he found Mu Yunjiang in the pavilion of the imperial garden. The couple took Qing Huan and Qi Zhe to Dianfengtai.

Because it is a family banquet, the seats at the palace banquet are:

The Queen Mother's seat faces north and south. If the Queen Mother was present, she would sit side by side with the Queen Mother. But she did not attend, so instead, the Emperor and the Queen sat on the left side of the Queen Mother, and Princess Changping sat on the Queen Mother's side.

The right side of the Queen Mother.

Next, the higher-ranking concubines Shu, Liang, and De are not eligible to participate this year. The reason is because of the previous incident. Although many days have passed, the emperor's anger has not subsided.

There were four other concubines sitting behind Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang.

Immediately following on the left is the Prince of the East Palace, and on the right are Xiao Dalangjun Xiao Qiheng and Xiao Erlangjun Xiao Qihe.

Xiao Qiyu and Mu Yunjiang were sitting under the crown prince's seat in the East Palace.

The first year after Xiao Qiyu was redeemed, he was unable to attend the New Year celebration in the palace.

In the second year, he accompanied the prince to the last seat.

Later, he went to the border for training and had almost no chance to attend. He participated once three years ago and sat at the bottom.

Today, this is the first time that he has sat beside the prince.

The order of seating for guests at banquets in the palace is very particular. The specific way to sit must be designated by the emperor or the queen. Therefore, Xiao Qiyu was quite surprised when faced with such a position.

Prince Xiao Qizhou was very dissatisfied with this seating arrangement. He didn't understand how his mother arranged such a position. When he learned about this arrangement, he went to the palace to ask his mother.

The queen sighed and said, "The emperor changed it himself. If you want to know the reason, ask your father."

Xiao Qizhou was suddenly confused: "Don't you hate this scoundrel the most, my father? Why do you favor him so much recently? Among all the princes, he was the only one who made him the king and gave him Mu Yunjiang in marriage. Even more so now.

Given such a place of companionship? Mother, are my father disappointed in me? Do you want to destroy me?"

"Don't talk nonsense. No matter how disappointed you are, the emperor will not change him to be the prince. The emperor is just using him to embarrass all the princes - if anyone does stupid things again, the humblest prince will be able to do it to them.

.”

…

Xiao Qizhou secretly glanced at the loving couple. If it weren't for the existence of this scoundrel, he should have been the eldest son of the emperor. Now, this person is always weighing on him:

Since he was the eldest son of the emperor and had military merits, he had even reached out to himself before, causing such a big fight in the East Palace.

This hatred was too unforgettable for him.

At this time, Gao Huan shouted outside: "The Empress Dowager is here, the Emperor is here, the Queen is here..."

So everyone stood up and saluted: "Meet the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the Queen..."

Emperor Liang helped his grandmother sit on the throne.

The ancestor smiled and waved his hand: "Get up, everyone... It's the Chinese New Year and it's a family dinner. Don't be too formal. It's good to eat, drink and have fun. Everyone has to be happy. It won't be until next year.

A good sign…”

After everyone thanked them, they sat down in their seats, and the emperor began to pass the meal around.

Xiao Qinghuan and Xiao Qizhe sat behind Xiao Qiyu and his wife. There was a small table set up here. They sat together, one was an older child, and the other was still a child of five or six years old.

Xiao Qizhe grew up in the palace and was very considerate in his etiquette. As for Xiao Qinghuan, his etiquette was quite decent, but it was too difficult for her to just sit there obediently.

Mu Yunjiang once quietly looked back and saw that she had been secretly eating the delicacies on the dining table, while Xiao Qizhe was helping her cover up. The two children were very united.

"Eat more, A Zhe can take good care of Qing Huan..."

Xiao Qiyu saw her turning her head frequently to look at Qing Huan and laid out dishes for her: "The dishes in the imperial dining room are quite good."

"I know the level of Yang Yuchu's cooking. He is naturally famous in Tiandu City. I have tasted it before."

Mu Yunjiang eats it with a little fish meat. It is fresh but not fishy and melts in your mouth. It is indeed difficult to eat at this level.

"Fine wine and delicious food are in front of you, and of course it must be accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo to be considered a joy in life. Your Majesty, don't you think so..." After drinking two glasses of wine, the eldest princess Changping suddenly spoke with a smile.

"I have heard about it a long time ago. Sister Huang has prepared a song and dance. If you are happy today, let's have a good time together..."

Emperor Liang was also very happy, with a relaxed expression on his face.

"yes."

Princess Changping agreed, and with a wink, the people around her went down to spread the song and dance.

The sound of silk and bamboo music suddenly changed from melodious and gentle to lively and festive. Then one by one the dancers came in shyly, fanning their faces.

The dancers were beautifully dressed and looked very beautiful. Each of them wore dance clothes embroidered with silver fish scales. They surrounded a woman in red and started a lively song and dance.

Mu Yunjiang was thinking about what happened in the palace on this day in his previous life - Xiao Qiyu in his previous life had no chance to enter the palace for the banquet. There should be nothing important happening in the palace.

wrong.

She suddenly thought of something. Something happened on this day in her previous life.

There was a woman named "Tong Xueshang" beside the eldest princess. She performed a dance and danced a neon dress, which won the emperor's favor. Then, the emperor asked the woman her name and found out that she was the emperor's old woman.

The dead general's daughter.

None of these are important. What is important is that this woman said in the Dianfeng Palace: "This little girl was once rescued by His Highness Meng Third Highness on the frontier fortress. I am always grateful in my heart. Today I have the honor to dance in front of His Majesty. If Your Majesty has

As a reward, please Your Majesty, please give this servant to the Third Prince as a maid!"

The emperor is right.

The next day, Tong Xueshang was sent to His Highness the Third Prince.

This girl is the first maid Xiao Qiyu accepted after he came of age.

She is said to be a maid, but she is not here to serve tea or water, but to warm the bed.

In other words, this should be the first nameless concubine around Xiao Qiyu.
