Chapter 58: Testing the Bottom Line
The people of the entire Great Zhou knew that they were the most favored prince and the one with the best chance to inherit the throne, but now they had to suffer such a severe punishment, and they would inevitably become a laughing stock in the palace in the future.
And in the future, where would he dare to continue to be so powerful, so he could only beg for mercy: "Father, you can forgive me this time, my son will never dare to commit it again in the future, please give me a chance." ”
"The more you are like this, I will only feel that you have no responsibility, a man's husband, you can change your mistakes, and you have to take responsibility for what you have done wrong, and you want to ask for mercy, which is really disappointing to me."
The sixth prince couldn't even beg for mercy now, seeing that a guard came in to keep him down, Chen Guifei hurriedly came to stop him: "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry!" ”
The sixth prince finally saw the savior when he saw his mother coming, but because the emperor had scolded him just now, he didn't dare to ask for help.
"Why is Concubine Ai here?" After the emperor saw this Chen Guifei, the anger on his face dissipated slightly.
And Chen Guifei is now the hottest main palace lady in the palace, since there is no queen in the East Palace, she is also the most powerful lady, so the six princes can be so arrogant.
"The concubine heard that the emperor was angry, so she rushed to take a look, but I didn't expect that Mu'er made you unhappy again, now the child is still young, you are grounded, as for the one who should be beaten, it should be the slaves around him, they took the six princes to travel, and they didn't know how to stop him when they saw that he was at fault, this is the reason for the big mistake, the emperor."
Chen Guifei naturally transferred these faults to the minions around the six princes, no matter what, she would not let her son suffer from that flesh and skin.
The sixth prince did not quibble, but after the mother concubine came, he straightened his chest, looking like he was at the disposal of his father, he knew that only by showing this toughness would the emperor be impressed.
"It makes sense for Aifei to say this."
"This time is also Mu'er's first offense, the emperor will ban him for a month, and deduct the silver of Chaoyang Palace immediately."
What Chen Guifei said was also a method of punishment, but it only saved this person from the pain of flesh and skin.
And the emperor also felt reasonable, and nodded: "What the concubine said is also reasonable, the sixth prince, you know that you are wrong!" ”
The sixth prince kowtowed: "The son knows his mistake and is willing to be punished, just ask his father not to be angry." At this time, he also has to show the appearance of a filial son.
After Chen Guifei invited him for him, the emperor also changed the punishment just now, no longer beating him, but instead deducting the silver, which can be regarded as saving face for him.
Chen Guifei naturally will not have this month's case of silver, as long as her emperor is not suffering from flesh and skin.
just thought that this time it was Li Ye who was the obstacle, and he hated it in his heart, and it seemed that he had to find a way to get rid of this stumbling block, so as not to affect his emperor's ascension to the throne in the future.
Li Ye escorted Qi Ning back to the door of the Anguo Mansion and admonished: "Ning'er, if you have something to ask Tinglan to send a letter, don't force it in everything, and remember to avoid the six princes, he is a very vindictive person." ”
Qi Ning was a little ashamed in his heart: "You tear your face for me and the six princes like this, will you blame me?" ”
Although Qi Ning also knew that the two of them would tear their faces in the end, she didn't know if it would have an impact on Li Ye in advance, not to mention that she also knew that Chen Guifei in the palace was not a person to mess with, and she didn't know what she would do after this incident.
"Of course I blame you, blame you for carrying everything by yourself, if there is anything in the future, tell me directly." Li Ye seems to have returned to his original enthusiastic appearance.
But Qi Ning always felt that there were many things hidden behind his smile, and as in the past, there were too many that she couldn't understand.
"I know, thank you really this time, and you have to be careful in the future."
After saying goodbye to Li Ye and returning to the Taoist mansion, since he saw the old woman of the Fang family talking to the Qi family, it made the Qi family look very embarrassed.
"Mother, where did this person come from, what did he tell you?" Qi Ning stepped forward to protect her mother-in-law and prevent the mother-in-law of the Fang family from talking to her.
The old woman saw Qi Ning saluting and said, "The eldest lady doesn't need to be so hostile to the old body, I came this time to bring good news." ”
Qi Ning didn't believe that this Fang family could bring her any good news, and asked coldly: "Then you can tell me, what is the good thing?" ”
"The old lady said, since the dowry will be prepared for the fourth lady this time, it will naturally be prepared for you, so let the eldest lady calm down for a while, and when the old lady prepares, she will naturally prepare it for you."
The old woman's very reasonable appearance made Qi Ning a little convinced, and asked rhetorically: "Then I don't know how much dowry your old lady is going to prepare for your cousin." ”
The old woman was a little embarrassed, but she still said truthfully: "The old lady has already boasted about Haikou, and she must prepare a dowry of twelve cars for the fourth lady, which is indispensable." ”
Qi Ning smiled again: "According to the property of this Fang family, if you are about to prepare these twelve cars for your cousin, I am afraid that you will go bankrupt, where can you still prepare for me, what you mean by this is actually that I can't get anything." ”
"How can you say that, at least the old lady still has this intention."
"If you really have this in mind, then let the old lady prepare the same amount for me, or divide the twelve cars in half." Qi Ning couldn't stop her from saying such a thing perfunctory.
There was an embarrassed look on the old woman's face, and she didn't know that if she responded to this sharp-toothed eldest lady, she was the most talkative person on weekdays, so the old lady would arrange her to be a lobbyist.
As a result, she was speechless by this Qi Ning, which really made her helpless.
Qi Shi was in the circle behind him: "Ning'er, since your grandmother has this intention, she will definitely prepare it for you." ”
Qi Ning smiled: "If I guessed correctly, the purpose of this old woman coming here is to ask for some of my dowry, so that they can make up the dowry they want as soon as possible, so as to make it up." ”
Qi Ning's words made the old woman's face look ugly, and she really said it.
"We're not all here for your good."
"Get out! How far away is it for me to get out, don't come to my Anguo Mansion in the future to make it bad, and you still want to get my dowry, there is no door, and go back to let the old lady die of this heart, I just don't give a penny. ”
Qi Ning rarely gave her any nonsense, and directly asked her to get out of here, only by showing her attitude can the people of this Fang family die and dare not make up their minds again.
However, this old woman came over to test Qi Ning's bottom line and see if she could have this opportunity to get a dowry, if she didn't have them, she could only find another way, and now it seems that there is no hope.
