Chapter 49: Cousin

Several people in the main hall were somewhat surprised when they saw the overly fierce reaction of this princess of the Yu Kingdom.

Emperor Yu is a well-known all-round talent in civil and military affairs, different from the rudeness and brutality of the people of Yu State, although Emperor Yu is not the first emperor of Yu State, but he has been familiar with poetry and the art of war since he was a child, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a civil and military all-rounder. Emperor Yu reigned for a few years, and the country gradually achieved a peaceful and happy scene, and the ministers of Ping Guo also sighed in private, saying that if it were not for the successive natural disasters during this time, Yu's national strength might have been unprecedentedly prosperous.

The eldest princess is the younger sister of Emperor Yu, although she does not necessarily have Emperor Yu's moonlight wind, but she should also have a bit of royal spirit, how can the queen mother scare people like this with just a few words of threat and intimidation?

"The eldest princess is serious, but it's just a trivial matter of a piece of broken jade, where is it worthy of such a big gift from you." The Queen Mother motioned to the grandmother beside her to help up the eldest princess of Yu Guo, suppressed her heart and said softly: "However, such a misunderstanding as colorful broken jade, the mourning family hopes that it will not happen again in the future, and Yu Guo will not stay in Pingzhou for a long time, if the officials of the two countries have a gap because of such a trivial matter, it will not be beautiful." ”

The eldest princess was frightened by the Queen Mother's words and nodded her head again and again to thank her.

The queen mother instructed the palace people to send the eldest princess back to the post house to rest, and after the master and servant left, she looked at Concubine Qin coldly, and the coldness in her eyes was like a sword, which made people feel intimidating. "Concubine Qin, the palace people under your command actually made such a big mistake, how do you admonish the palace maids on weekdays?"

Concubine Qin's eyebrows were still lowered, and she looked respectful and obedient: "It's me who is not effective in training, and if the Queen Mother wants to punish her, I will bear it alone." ”

"You're kind." The Queen Mother snorted strangely: "Don't look at the mourning family, you can't see it, this palace maid is clearly your mother's niece." How? In order to protect his relatives, he didn't even care about his face as a concubine? ”

More than two years ago, there was a rumor in the palace, saying that His Majesty was about to be drafted, and Concubine Qin's mother was worried that her daughter would be a concubine of His Majesty and delay her life, so she begged Concubine Qin to take her niece to the palace to be a palace maid to escape the election. The palace maid can't leave the palace until she is twenty-five years old, and the queen mother is staring at her, and Concubine Qin doesn't dare to do anything on the palace roster for the time being, so she can let her niece stay in Chuqin Palace to serve, and want to find a suitable time to send her out in the future.

I thought that this thing was done carefully, but I didn't want to teach the Queen Mother to find the horse's feet.

Concubine Qin took a deep breath, got up and knelt on the ground, "Qinghui is young and ignorant, and she has no intention of causing such a big disaster for the Queen Mother, this is all the result of my lax discipline, I hope that the Queen Mother will open up and not overly offend her." ”

"Excessive guilt?" The Queen Mother repeated these words carefully between her lips and teeth, and when she raised her head again, her expression was even colder: "In the past, when the emperor favored you, the mourning family just opened his mouth to reprimand a few words, and you had something to say to the former emperor to tell the mourning family, and now you have made a mistake, and the mourning family just said a few words casually, has it become an excessive crime?" ”

"The concubine body doesn't mean that......"

"And what do you mean?" Looking at Concubine Qin's pitiful little face, the Queen Mother couldn't help but think of the past when Concubine Qin was favored by the emperor, she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and swallowed the bitterness in her heart, and when she raised her eyes again, her lips raised a shallow arc: "It's just a lowly slave, the concubine is here to intercede for her like this, it seems how kind and generous you are, and how mean and unrighteous the mourning family is...... Think about it, you have always liked to flaunt how virtuous and elegant you are in front of the world, and then contrast the bitterness and meanness of others, and the mourning family has long been used to it. “

After speaking, the Queen Mother raised her head, staggered her eyes and said sternly: "This palace maid behaves in a way, drag it down and beat thirty boards." Concubine Qin was not strict under the rule and was grounded for three months. She asked, "What does Concubine Qin think of the punishment of the mourning family, is it too vicious and cruel?" ”

Concubine Qin lowered her eyes: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

The Queen Mother stopped looking at her, stood up and brushed her slightly wrinkled cuffs, and caught a glimpse of Yun Qing standing on one side in the afterglow, and paused slightly: "The last time we met, you were a little rude to the mourning family, and the mourning family can not care about you for the emperor's face, this time you will atone for your sins." ”

Yun Qing lowered his head: "Thank you Queen Mother for your leniency." ”

Seeing that she was so knowledgeable, the Queen Mother finally showed her face, stretched her brows and started to leave.

……

After the Queen Mother left, Yun Qing walked up to Fu Mingli, who had been speechless for a long time, and lowered his head and pleaded: "Your Majesty, the concubine is ......."

Fu Mingli looked at her expressionlessly: "Sister Yun, the queen mother has a deep grudge against Concubine Qin, this time she can just be grounded is already merciful, I can't interfere more, do you understand?" ”

Yun Qing's voice stopped, and after a moment, she nodded: "I know." ”

Concubine Qin was helped by the palace maid Qinghui to sit down, and there were two sturdy grandmothers waiting to carry out the queen mother's order, Concubine Qin glanced at the two people, sighed, nodded and said, "You take her down." ”

Harumi was taken aback: "Aunt ......"

"Qinghui, it's time for you to learn a lesson, this time you have caused too much trouble, and the mourning family can't protect you."

Qinghui seemed to want to say something, but the two grandmothers got the promise of Concubine Qin, and without saying a word, they dragged Qinghui out of the main hall of the palace.

Qinghui cried and called out to her aunt, but Concubine Qin closed her eyes with her forehead and didn't want to say a word.

Yun Qing wanted to walk over and comfort Concubine Qin for a few words, but her feet moved, and a scream came from Huo Ran outside the hall, and then Qing Hui shouted in a trilled voice: "Cousin! ”

Fu Mingli looked at Yun Qing, Yun Qing glanced back and walked out to take a look, the two sturdy grandmothers outside the palace gate were held by the guards, and the little girl Qinghui, who was crying like a tearful person just now, curled up in a man's arms at the moment, her hands tightly wrapped around the man's waist, her face was still full of tears, her voice was also trembling, but the corners of her lips were raised.

The man was dressed in a blue cloud brocade robe, and his figure was tall and handsome, and it was Fu Mingda, the king of Ning, who he had only seen not long ago.

Mingda put his hands on Qinghui's arms, as if he noticed something, raised his head and looked in the direction of the palace gate, and looked at Yun Qing who was full of surprise.

Mingda subconsciously pushed Harumi away.

Harumi wiped the tears from her face: "Cousin? ”

Mingda coughed dryly and was about to step forward, but before he took a step, he saw Fu Mingli walking slowly to Yun Qing's side with his hands around his chest, with a malicious smile on his face, and his eyes staring at him with a bad look.
