Chapter 179: Removing the hairpin and treating the sin
"Come on, send the side concubine back."
"Your Highness!"
Mu Qingyan's smile froze on his face, today is the New Year, what's wrong with the prince?
The woman is the one who pleases herself, she just wants to dress up beautiful to please him, why should he be angry?
"Do you know that my father ordered that even the palace should save money, let alone me!"
The prince really hates iron and steel.
Today was supposed to be a good opportunity for him to perform, but he was ruined by Mu Qingyan.
He just indulges Mu Qingyan too much on weekdays, so she always does some stupid things!
"Your Highness is angry, and my sister is also unintentional, so you can spare her this time."
This is already the end of the year, and Wang Qifu didn't want the prince to be angry, so he persuaded a few words next to him, but Mu Qingyan was reprimanded by the prince and felt very faceless, so he directly confronted Wang Qifu.
"You don't need to pretend to talk to me here, if you really want to help me, you should remind me before my father comes!"
Wang Qifu was also very aggrieved, she wanted to remind her to come, but she didn't have time to open her mouth before the emperor came.
In the past, even if Mu Qingyan was disrespectful to Wang Qifu, the prince only made a point, but today she made a big mistake and is still chattering here, and the prince is also very angry, and ordered his subordinates to take Mu Qingyan back and lock him up, take off the hairpin and treat the crime, and wait for the New Year.
The crime of taking off the hairpin is a very heavy punishment for a woman, which means that she is only wearing plain clothes, and she cannot wear any hairpin rings on her body.
Since marrying into the prince's mansion, the prince has not punished anyone so severely, and even Wang Qifu feels that the prince is a bit too severely punished.
But the prince had already made up his mind, and asked his subordinates to drag Mu Qingyan down directly.
Mu Qingyan had caused trouble so many times before, and the prince didn't do anything to her, but this time she was punished so heavily, she was so angry that she pushed Wang Qifu by mistake.
The road was slippery in the snow, and Wang Qifu fell straight down the steps with an unstable center of gravity.
When Mu Qingyan came back to her senses, Wang Qifu was already lying in a pool of blood.
Only then did she realize that she had done something wrong, and she was stunned and at a loss.
After the emperor left the prince's mansion, he came to Jing Qicheng, Meng combs his eyebrows and wears a rusty red dress, which is not at all ostentatious in terms of identity, and has a very New Year's feeling.
The palace of King Chen is not extravagant, hanging the red lanterns of ordinary people, the maids have a pair of red beaded flowers on their heads, and the little girls have a red belt around their waists.
"Father, please try the pastries made by your daughter-in-law."
Meng Combbing naturally prepared the feast as carefully as Wang Qifu, but they were all common dishes, but they were a little more sumptuous, and they were all made by herself.
"Today, I am also like an ordinary old man, eating the food made by my daughter-in-law."
It can be seen that the emperor is very happy, and the concubine next to him also praises Meng for her good skill in combing her eyebrows.
"My father has won the award, in fact, the sons and daughters are also chasing ducks to the shelves, you and your mother don't dislike it."
Meng combed his eyebrows and stood aside obediently to give them vegetables, and the emperor said that since it was a micro-service patrol today, there was no need to be formal, and the family could sit down and have a meal.
The emperor said so, Meng Combrow did not refuse, sat down obediently, and sandwiched a piece of rabbit meat that he loved to eat for Jing Qicheng by the way.
Concubine Xian looked at their husband and wife with a kind face, and said to the emperor that she could be regarded as having an explanation for Concubine Jing.
After accompanying the emperor to dinner, Meng combed his eyebrows and came over with greasy tea, saying that the tea was sent from Binzhou, although it was not a precious variety, but it was also a little bit of the heart of the people of Limin.
"Binzhou?"
The emperor took a sip of tea, which was indeed not as good as what he drank on weekdays, but half a year ago, the people of Binzhou could not fill their stomachs, and now they can drink tea, which is enough to show that the people's lives are getting better and better.
"Cheng'er, the Zhang Ji you recommended is indeed a talent, but it's a pity to be a prefect, there are vacant positions in the capital, so let's transfer him to the capital."
Hearing this, Meng Combrow hurriedly got up and said that they were discussing state affairs, and as a harem woman, she couldn't interfere in politics, so she went out with Concubine Xian Niangniang to avoid it.
"Haha, I said that there is no need to be formal, so I won't talk about state affairs today."
The emperor admired Meng Comb's eyebrows so well, he really felt that this daughter-in-law had found the right one.
The charcoal in the brazier was burning, and the sound of firecrackers came from the street outside, Meng combed his eyebrows and saw that the emperor was itchy, so he said that he had prepared the firecrackers, and the emperor was blessed by dragon energy, and she also wanted to get some blessings, so it was better to ask the emperor to light the firecrackers himself.
"Look at me, my daughter-in-law can talk a lot."
If you don't wear thousands of sycophants, it's always right to praise people, Meng Combs knows this well.
For the sake of safety, Meng Combrow specially ordered his subordinates to make the fuse a lot longer, so as not to accidentally blow up the emperor and it would be self-defeating.
The sound of firecrackers was deafening, and Jing Qicheng gently hugged Meng to comb his eyebrows, covering her eyes with his hands to avoid being blown up by the cannonballs.
I don't know if next year will be a good year.
Today, the emperor had a lot of fun, and he rewarded them with a lot of things before leaving.
What is appreciated is not the most important thing, the most important thing is this face, it is estimated that the news that the emperor will appreciate Jing Qicheng again tomorrow morning will spread throughout the capital.
was about to send the emperor back to the palace, when suddenly the little servant in the porter walked over quickly and said something in Jing Qicheng's ear.
Seeing this, the emperor asked Jing Qicheng if there was anything urgent.
"Back to my father, I heard that the crown princess was injured in a fall, and the prince wanted to invite Mei'er to come over and take a look."
"How could a good person fall and get hurt."
The emperor was also worried about Wang Qifu, so he asked Meng to comb his eyebrows and go over quickly.
Meng Combrow took Chunxing to the Prince's Mansion, and saw Mu Qingyan kneeling in the snow and being frozen so much that his teeth trembled.
"Yo, Sister Mu, what's wrong?"
At a glance, it was clear that Wang Qifu's injury must have something to do with Mu Qingyan.
"Don't be cynical here, you're something!"
Mu Qingyan can be regarded as out of the way, anyway, the prince is moved, and he doesn't know if he can keep the position of the side concubine, so naturally he doesn't care about scolding Meng for combing his eyebrows.
"Don't be angry, concubine, be careful if you get angry, you won't lose more than you gain."
Meng combed her eyebrows and smiled slightly, although she was so quick to speak here.
The imperial doctor has already come to see him, but the prince is not at ease, so he invited Meng to comb his eyebrows.
After all, Wang Qifu is the crown prince's concubine or the daughter of the right minister, if she really has any disability, it is difficult to explain whether it is the emperor or the right minister.
Wang Qifu was lying on the bed, the wounds on her body had been bandaged by the imperial doctor, and the others were all minor injuries, but her legs were a little badly injured.
"Crown Princess, can you hear me?"
