Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty First Fooling Around

Xiao Qiner entered the palace to greet him, like a purgatory.

Queen Pei was not polite to her and attacked her on the spot.

Even Gu Jiu and Ouyang Fu, who went to the palace together to ask for safety, became the pond fish that were affected.

"What kind of character is Bengong? How dare Xiao Zhaoyi's sister enter the palace on time to be safe. Wouldn't it be good to stay at her parents' house for the first six months? Just stay and go back to the palace!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Qin'er was trembling and was about to cry.

She knew that she would be implicated by her family.

No choice but to kneel down and plead guilty.

"My daughter-in-law was unwell before and was recuperating at her mother's house. It's not that she didn't deliberately not enter the palace to ask for peace, but that she didn't dare to enter the palace until her body was healed, for fear of getting sick."

Empress Pei snorted coldly, "I dare to say that this palace is sensible, do I still want to reward you?"

"Daughter-in-law dare not."

"What are you afraid of? When you were in the palace, you dared to follow the yin.

"Daughter-in-law is guilty, please calm down your anger."

That's all for now, what should I do?

Gu Jiu and Ouyang Fu could only kneel down together and apologize.

I don't know how much anger Queen Pei has held back, but this time, all of them vented at them.

Ouyang Fu is okay, she will go to Concubine Shen Xian to greet her in a while, so she can take the opportunity to escape.

Gu Jiu and Xiao Qin'er could only suffer.

Empress Pei waved her hand, "Second daughter-in-law, leave first. I don't dare to stay with you for too long, or else the virtuous concubine should come to your majesty and cry, saying that this palace treats you harshly."

"Daughter-in-law dare not." Ouyang Fu bowed her head and apologized.

"Let's go, let's go. I also want to talk to my two daughters-in-law."

Ouyang Fu bowed and said goodbye.

As soon as Ouyang Fu left, the hall became quiet.

Empress Pei didn't speak, and Gu Jiu and Xiao Qin'er didn't speak either.

The atmosphere was tense.

After nearly a cup of tea, Queen Pei said aloud, "Everyone get up and sit and talk."

"Thank you mother."

The two helped each other up and sat on the chairs.

Empress Pei snorted coldly, her anger still lingering in her heart.

She stared at Xiao Qin'er, "What on earth do your Xiao family think? Will you send someone into the palace to create a block for this palace?"

"The queen mother misunderstood, the Xiao family never meant to block the mother." Xiao Qin'er answered cautiously.

Empress Pei looked at her with a half-smile, "Then tell me what happened to Xiao Zhaoyi? What if she gave birth to a boy and a girl?"

Xiao Qin'er gritted her teeth and said, "No one can threaten the status of the queen mother. Not even if there is a little prince."

However, Xiao Qin'er had another idea in her heart.

Emperor Wende had many women, but over the years, no woman had ever given birth to a man and a woman. It is very likely that Emperor Wende was in poor health and could not allow a woman to conceive.

As a result, this harem will naturally not have a little prince or a little princess born.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qin'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Xiao Qin'er only knew one of them, but did not know the other.

She didn't know that Emperor Wende's body had already been taken care of.

In the past, no woman in the backyard of the palace was pregnant, and that was because Emperor Wende did not need those women to be pregnant.

Emperor Wende wanted to deceive the late emperor with the illusion of infertility, making the late emperor feel guilty about him.

Now, the emperor has passed away.

Emperor Wende has no worries.

He can make the harem concubines pregnant at any time.

Empress Pei sneered, "What did your parents tell you?"

Xiao Qin'er hesitated for a while before saying, "My mother said that other honorable people have sent their daughters to the palace draft, and the Xiao family can only make the same decision as everyone else."

"There is no truth." Queen Pei did not give Xiao Qin'er any face.

Xiao Qiner was wronged and could only endure it.

Empress Pei smiled, "Okay, let's go and see Xiao Zhaoyi of your family, this palace will not keep you."

Xiao Qin'er was speechless, and it took a long time to find her voice, "Daughter-in-law won't visit Xiao Zhaoyi."

Empress Pei didn't appreciate it. "It's up to you to see it or not. Ben Gong has no control. Ben Gong wants to talk to the eldest daughter-in-law now, so you step down."

Xiao Qin'er bit her thin lips lightly, tears rolling in her eyes.

Queen Pei issued an expulsion order, what can she do?

She could only get up and retire, planning to go to the Cining Palace.

As soon as Xiao Qin'er left, Gu Jiu was the only one left.

Queen Pei stared at her.

Gu Jiu's face was calm, "I don't know what the mother has ordered?"

"You are the eldest daughter-in-law. You should pay more attention to the situation of the palace."

Gu Jiu was surprised, "But what happened?"

Empress Pei said: "The third, fifth, and sixth are not married yet. Your Majesty intends to designate the marriage for the three of them. You will keep an eye on the three of them for this palace."

Huh?

Did Emperor Wende get rich? Even willing to take out the money to arrange marriages for several sons.

Gu Jiu asked, "Has Your Majesty selected the target of the marriage?"

Queen Pei shook her head, "I'm choosing. You stare at the three of them for Ben Gong."

"Could the queen be specific about how to keep an eye on them? Is it to prevent them from going out and mess around, or not to intervene?"

Queen Pei smiled softly, "You have to take care of it when you should, and don't interfere when you shouldn't. Do you know the proportions here?"

Gu Jiu is naturally clear.

The third prince, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince are all descendants.

Empress Pei naturally took more precautions than cared for the prince born from the concubine.

Gu Jiu bowed to take orders, "Daughter-in-law understands. Daughter-in-law will arrange to keep an eye on them."

"It's so good. This time Xiao Qin'er returned to the palace, did she have a quarrel with the fourth child?"

"There is no noise. Looking at the appearance of the four younger siblings, the body should be taken care of."

"It's been raised for so long, it's long overdue." Queen Pei leaned on the soft pillow, "Go back."

"Daughter-in-law retire."

Gu Jiu was ready to leave the palace directly after he left the palace.

In the Cining Palace, today is not the first day of the new year, so she doesn't bother to go over to greet her.

At any time, the Queen Mother Xiao was not very pleasing to her eyes.

She didn't go over there to make fun of herself.

Moreover, Xiao Qin'er went to the Queen Mother Xiao's place and might have a dispute with Xiao Zhaoyi.

Regarding the affairs of the Xiao family, she naturally avoided as far as an outsider.

I just didn't expect that when I left the palace, I would meet Ouyang Fu.

"What a coincidence. The second brother and sister are really fast."

Ouyang Fu smiled bitterly, "Concubine Xian is in a bad mood, I didn't dare to sit for long."

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "In the palace recently, many people are in a bad mood."

"Yeah! There are new people and forget the old people. The concubines who came out of the palace are almost out of favor. Now in this palace, I only see the new people laughing, but the old people cry."

Ouyang Fu said with deep feeling.

Gu Jiu smiled, "It goes back and forth, the harem has always been like this. We don't have to worry about the ladies, they are fine."

Ouyang Fu was amused, "With glory, wealth, and status, you also have status. Thinking about it this way, the concubines are indeed doing well. Both of us are worrying about nothing."

Gu Jiu nodded, "That's right. Anyway, we don't have any sisters in the palace. We are better than the four younger siblings, so we don't need to be so embarrassed."

Ouyang Fu said: "Before at Weiyang Palace, I felt uncomfortable for the fourth siblings. How embarrassing that scene was."

Gu Jiu smiled and said nothing. There will be more embarrassing times to come.

When Xiao Zhaoyi gives birth to the little prince, let's see, there will be more trouble.

The two went out of the palace together, got into the carriage, and set off back to the palace.

After returning to the palace, the first thing Gu Jiu did was to call Qian Fu for questioning.

"His Royal Highness Third, His Royal Highness Fifth, and His Highness Six, what have you been busy with recently?"

Qian Fu bowed slightly and said, "Mrs. Qi, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is busy with errands all day, and he is very appreciated by the peak. The courtiers all say that His Royal Highness works steadily and steadily."

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, and said insincerely, "It's really gratifying. The third highness has finally begun to emerge."

Qian Fu added: "As for the Fifth and Sixth Highnesses, because they have no errands, except for studying, they spend the rest of their time messing around outside."

"Where did the money come from?"

It takes money to be a dummy, okay.

Just the pitiful amount of the prince's wealth is not enough for a month's expenses.

Qian Fu considered it for a while before saying, "Someone offered to the two Highnesses, and neither of them refused."

The so-called dedication means that the property is nominally linked to the names of the two Highnesses. In fact, they just gave some money to support the two highnesses and made an early investment.

As the so-called short-handed, cannibalism is soft.

Others spend money to support you, provide you with all kinds of extravagant expenses. Then when others are in need, shouldn't they also give back one or two?

If you spend other people's money, then others will act in the name of princes outside, and when they gossip, naturally don't hold grudges.

If people don't use the prince's name to make a fool of themselves, where does the money come from to support the prince?

In this way, it is indeed easy for the prince to come to the money.

The premise is that you can bear the consequences.

Hearing this, Gu Jiu couldn't help frowning, "Your Highness Fifth and Sixth, have you accepted donations from others?"

"Exactly."

"Does your Highness know about this?"

Qian Fu nodded, "His Royal Highness knew from the beginning, and he beat two His Royal Highnesses in private. After that, he didn't care about it. His Highness said that he couldn't control it."

This is indeed Liu Zhao's temper.

Hit it once, listen or not.

If something goes wrong, don't look for him.

If he doesn't fall into the trap, even if he is worthy of his brother.

Gu Jiu pondered for a while, did Empress Pei also know about this and wanted to take the opportunity to attack the two Highnesses?

She instructed Qian Fu, "Find out the person who contributed to the two His Royal Highnesses and give me a copy of the document."

Qian Fu was surprised, "Madam wants to take care of this?"

"It depends on the situation. But you have to understand. You just bring the information, and don't bother about other things."

"Old slave obeys."
