Chapter 12: The Wedding Turmoil
The rumors intensified, and finally it actually reached the palace.
In the imperial study, Emperor Qi Shun was playing chess with King Chen. At the end of the game, unexpectedly, Emperor Qi Shun actually lost!
"Hahaha, I actually lost to you, a stinky boy, I haven't lost for many years, alas, it seems that I am really old, hahaha" Emperor Shun said with a loud laugh.
"Father said that he laughed, his father was in good health, and the loss was just because his father let his sons." Xiao Muchen replied.
"I thought the emperor would understand my mind! Could it be that the rumors in Beijing are true? When Emperor Shun said this, he stared at Xiao Muchen directly, for fear of missing the slightest expression on his face.
Xiao Muchen paused, as if he was a little surprised. Then he laughed and said, "What my father said is that it is rumored in Beijing that the son and the lord of Wanqing have already secretly engaged in Chen Cang?" ”
"If it weren't for that, how could you, who have always been cold and cold, happen to save her and her handmaiden? And in order to protect her, she also asked me for this marriage decree on the second day! Emperor! You are a royal person, don't jeopardize your future for the sake of a watery poplar woman! Emperor Shun said bitterly.
I don't know why, when I heard Emperor Shun say that she was a woman with watery poplars, Xiao Muchen was very uncomfortable in her heart, even if she knew that Emperor Shun had misunderstood, but he was just uncomfortable!
Xiao Muchen shook his head and continued, "Father, you misunderstood, I saved her that day only because my guard Mofeng and her maid Qinghe were old acquaintances. They were also rescued by Mo Feng that day, and as for the matter of the dark Chen Cang, it was even more nonsense! Erchen has been secretly sent to the day of departure to recuperate since he was a child, and he will only be in Kyoto in the near future, so how can he secretly Chen Cang with the lord of Qingjun this night? ”
Hearing this, Emperor Shun's face softened, yes, it was the Thorn Ancestor who left the country back then to pick up King Chen from Beijing in person, and Su Wanqing didn't know where he was at that time! Emperor Shun was a little annoyed, why did he listen to a woman's words and almost misunderstood his child!
Thinking of this, Emperor Shun felt a little guilty, he cared too little about the son of King Chen! "Is your illness improving?" Emperor Shun asked cautiously.
It was only at this time that Xiao Muchen thought that maybe someone gave him eye medicine in front of Emperor Shun, so it would be like this. You must know that an immoral prince will be scolded by the world! It's just that his body is already like this, and those people still spare no effort to smear him, it's really rare! Xiao Muchen thought with some self-deprecation.
What he can think of at this time, the emperor may not be unexpected, and the affairs of the harem are not something that Xiao Muchen can manage, so let the old emperor take care of it himself!
"Erchen is still the same, my father doesn't have to care too much, I just want to be able to accompany my father well in my lifetime......"
"What did you say, boy! In the future, these words are not allowed to be said again, but you should go back first! I'm a little tired. ”
"Son's resignation!" Xiao Muchen bowed and withdrew.
A few days later, the news that Chen Guifei was demoted to Chen Guiren because of her lack of virtue and unworthy of being a concubine spread throughout the harem. For a time, everyone in the harem was in danger, after all, it was unprecedented to be demoted from a noble concubine to a nobleman! Of course, that's another story!
In the Pingbohou Mansion, when Su Wanqing heard this rumor, her first reaction was actually happy? This greatly surprised Zi Ling and Qing He!
Isn't it important for ordinary people to be angry when something like this happens? How miss... Don't take the usual path... Isn't it crazy?
Of course Su Wanqing is happy, as soon as this rumor comes out, see how Xiao Muchen marries her! She doesn't want to be tied up with someone who doesn't know why! However, how can she dare to slander her water-based poplar flower!
"Can you find out who spread the rumors?" Su Wanqing asked.
Zi Ling and Qing He breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, it's okay, Miss's brain is fine. Qinghe stepped forward, "According to reliable sources, it is..."Qinghe suddenly hesitated.
"What? Didn't my good sister do it? Seeing this scene, Su Wanqing laughed.
"That's it!" Qinghe replied.
Zi Ling was instantly unhappy, "That slut, last time I slandered Miss for harming the fetus in her womb, Miss didn't care about her, and now she actually slanders my young lady again..." Miss, you can't let her go this time! ”
Su Wanqing smiled when she saw Zi Ling's appearance. Didn't you bother with her? No, she just didn't find the right opportunity. In other words, she was too weak at that time to have the ability to fight back, but this time, once and again, did she really think she was a soft persimmon! But how exactly to do it? You can't just kill her, after all, there's no evidence!
Pregnant!
"Zi Ling, let's go, let's go meet that poor Aunt Yao!" Su Wanqing commanded.
Because of Su Yue's relationship, her biological mother Yao was confined to the most remote cold garden, which was originally only three months, and Yao didn't take it to heart. But with Su Yue and Ping Bohou ignoring him, Yao's life was extremely difficult. After all, there are many masters in the house who praise the high and step on the low.
When Su Wanqing came to Lengyuan, what she saw was Yao's who was fighting for food with dogs, and there were many maids watching the excitement beside her. There was a maid with sharp eyes, and when she saw Su Wanqing who came with money, she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen the county lord!" The maids around him also rushed to salute, only Yao's sat on the ground and looked at Su Wanqing with wide eyes, with a look of resentment.
"You all go down," Su Wanqing waved her hand. The maids withdrew, and as they left, they flattered the tables and chairs, and closed the door.
Su Wanqing sat on the top, and when she saw Yao's appearance, she knew that she couldn't make Yao's turn against the water with normal methods, so she could only try her golden right hand!
"Zi Ling Qinghe, you two have shown me a good look! If half of the rumors of today's events get out, do you two know the consequences? ”
Zi Ling and Qing He didn't understand what was going on, but after a swish, Yao, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly stood up, saluted Su Wanqing respectfully, and said to the master... Now, what else do the two of them not understand! It's all thanks to the young lady! Both of them were very happy, and there was no fear in the end. When Su Wanqing saw this scene, she knew in her heart that she was not looking at the wrong person, and she was also very pleased.
The three of them stayed in the courtyard for a while, during which Su Wanqing interrogated Yao about a lot of things, and the more she asked, the more angry she became, but for the sake of the overall situation, she still endured it, and after a few words, the three of them left......
The next day, another rumor spread in Beijing......
