Chapter 51: Wisdom and Self-Protection
She had no choice but to pack up the jewelry and let Liuli go out to sell all the jewelry in the name of going out of the palace to purchase.
After Ning Changyuan found out, he told Gu Wanwan the news.
The two hit it off and took the initiative to buy what Concubine Yue had sold.
The Imperial Study.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see you." The eunuch stood beside the emperor and bowed slightly to the emperor and said.
Where was the emperor sitting at this time, there were several stacks of folds in front of him, he was holding the folds in his hand, he didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "Let him come in." ”
Ning Changyuan walked in with a small box in his hand, kneeling on the ground.
"The son visits his father."
Then stood up, the emperor looked at him, put down the fold in his hand, and looked at him with displeasure in his eyes, "Say, come this time, what's the matter." ”
Ning Changyuan was already used to the emperor's attitude towards him, if he hadn't had something good to show him, he wouldn't have entered the palace and taken the initiative to find him.
"Erchen recently bought some top-notch jewelry outside the palace, and some of them are very similar to those that were paid to the palace a few years ago, so Erchen specially bought them for his father to see and debate whether they are true or false."
It is similar to the thing that enters the palace.
The emperor frowned and gave the eunuch next to him a look, and the eunuch next to him immediately stepped forward, took the thing, and put it in front of him.
When he opened the box and saw the contents inside, he picked up a step shake, the pearl carved from the red jade on this step shake was extremely rare, and this was the only one that was paid tribute at the beginning.
He remembered that he had given this step to Concubine Yue.
Look at the material of this step shake is exactly the same as the original one.
He picked up another night pearl instead, a high-quality bracelet, and a whole bunch of them, all of which were only available in the palace, and most of these things he remembered were given to Concubine Yue.
Just now Ning Changyuan said that outside the palace, how could Concubine Yue's things appear outside the palace.
"Say, how these things appeared outside the palace."
The emperor had a calm face, threw the things in his hand back into the box, and forced Ning Changyuan to ask.
Ning Changyuan lowered his head and smiled slightly, then clasped his hands into fists and bowed, "Father should ask Concubine Yue about this matter." ”
"Mother, it's not good!"
A little eunuch hurriedly ran into the palace of Concubine Yue from the outside.
"What's so panicked, didn't you see that Concubine Yue was resting?"
Ruri scolded him angrily.
Concubine Yue sat on the chair and rubbed her temples with one hand, listening to the bad news he said, her eyelids jumped, and then she opened her eyes and looked at him.
"Say."
The little eunuch trembled and knelt on the ground, "Not long ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the palace, holding a box in his hand, and met the emperor, and the box contained it seemed to be your jewelry, Concubine Yue." ”
Concubine Yue stood up violently, her expression was a little flustered, those things were all gifts from the emperor, if the emperor knew that she would sell things...
Before Concubine Yue could think about it, a eunuch walked in at the door and said.
"Concubine Yue, the emperor is invited."
Concubine Yue's strength seemed to be suddenly drained, and she sat on the chair all of a sudden, and it seemed that the emperor already knew.
"Niangniang atoned for her sins, Liuli went out and sold it according to Niangniang, but I didn't expect it to be discovered by His Royal Highness the Prince."
Liuli hurriedly knelt down in front of her, her head hit the ground heavily, and she said anxiously.
The current Concubine Yue still thinks so much, and now that the emperor asks her to go to the imperial study, she must use those jewels to confront her, and when the time comes, she will not be able to tell if she has ten mouths.
Liuli next to her kept talking, and she actually cried as she spoke, which made Concubine Yue have a headache when she heard it.
"Okay, stop crying, what's the use of crying! Isn t it just some jewelry, Ning Changyuan thought that he would be able to trip me in this way, he dreamed. ”
As she spoke, she stood up and walked around Ruri towards the door.
Ning Changyuan stood aside, the emperor looked at the jewelry in front of him, with a straight face, and the air in the entire imperial study was unusually quiet and serious.
Concubine Yue deliberately changed into a plain color dress and came to the imperial study, and the heavy jewelry on her head was also taken off, wearing only an ordinary hairpin, and just walked in, the emperor directly grabbed one of the jewelry and threw it in front of Concubine Yue.
Roar "Say! What's going on with these things! Why does it appear outside the palace. ”
The thing smashed on Concubine Yue's body, and Concubine Yue was so frightened that she knelt directly on the ground, and then began to cry.
"Your Majesty, the concubine body was also forced, the Xie family was cheated of money, and now the family is short of money, ask me for it, although the concubine is the emperor's concubine, but also the daughter of the Xie family, I have no choice but to exchange these things for money."
"The emperor gave the concubine body, and the concubine body is worn every day, if it is not for the accident at home, how can the concubine be willing to have it!"
Concubine Yue said for a moment, the emperor snorted coldly and did not speak, and the expression on his face had loosened a little.
Ning Changyuan, who was next to him, saw this and said, "Concubine Yue's mother's family is also the prime minister's family, how can she be so short of money?" Unexpectedly, we still need our royal stuff to support it. ”
Ning Changyuan's tone was filled with a smile.
"Isn't it the emperor who deducted the prime minister's money?"
Concubine Yue, who was crying so much, took advantage of the emperor's inattention, raised her head to look at Ning Changyuan, her eyes were vicious.
She watched the emperor's originally loose expression change back to what it was just now, she gritted her teeth and shouted, "The concubine is in the palace, everything is passed on by the mother's family, and the concubine doesn't know whether it's true or not." ”
"If Your Majesty doubts the concubine's sincerity to Your Majesty, and thinks that the concubine is an insatiable person, then the concubine swears in front of the emperor that she will never have any dealings with her family in the future, in order to show the concubine's heart!"
There were two tear stains on Concubine Yue's face, Concubine Yue raised her hand, stared at the emperor with a stubborn face, and swore an oath.
I have to say that Concubine Yue's trick Ning Changyuan admired, and threw all the responsibility to her mother's family, not to mention, in order to redeem the trust of her father, she directly cut off relations with the Xie family.
The emperor's expression really softened, looking at her appearance, his face was distressed, he got up from his position and walked in front of her.
Lift her up.
"Okay, look at you like this, your mother's family has made you thin for money, and you still have hairpins, which are too ordinary and not suitable for you."
The emperor personally bent down, picked up a tossed hairpin on the ground, took off the ordinary hairpin on her head, and put it on her personally.
"Look, this is my concubine."
The emperor touched her hair with his hand, his eyes were gentle, and there was still a little angry there.
