Chapter 639: On the Role of Sesame Oil Money
Everyone was drawn to the crisp sound.
Emperor Jingming saw the little maid kneeling below with her head up, and her eyes on her white face were extremely flexible, and she looked lively.
Emperor Jingming couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yi, and said in his heart that the old seventh daughter-in-law has a good temperament, and the maid is also good.
Emperor Jingming didn't like others to be trembling in front of him, which was very easy for him to think of a son who was not successful and had already finished, and then affected his mood.
And Aman's boldness and refreshment made him look at it much more pleasing to the eye.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Jingming asked, "Are you the maid of the Yan Palace?" β
A Man hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the slave is the eldest maid next to the princess. β
There are too many maids in Yanwang's Mansion, how can she be worthy of her identity as a personal maid. It's a rare opportunity to show your face, but you can't let the emperor misunderstand.
The smugness of the little maid made Emperor Jingming unconscious: "What's your name?" β
Ah Man said crisply: "The slave maid is called Ah Man." β
"Amanβ" Emperor Jingming nodded, "What a good name." Tell me why. β
Speaking of this, Emperor Jingming changed his gentleness just now and his expression became serious.
There is no doubt that Princess Qi harmed people, and he didn't want to delve into why the seventh daughter-in-law was safe and sound, but since the seventh daughter-in-law's maid took the initiative to mention it, he was naturally happy to solve his doubts.
A daughter-in-law with many unpredictable means, although he admires, but occasionally has uneasiness.
This is human nature, and the more superior the person, the more uneasy he is about people or things that he cannot control, and he has the desire to understand the end.
At this time, not only Emperor Jingming, but also the empress in the inner hall, everyone's eyes fell on Ah Man, waiting for her to tell the reason.
How did Princess Yan escape? Why was the murderous Princess Qi left in the carriage? Did Princess Yan do something to Princess Qi at that time?
Only Jiang seemed to be calm, without any apprehension.
She still knows about Aman.
Just listen to Ah Man and say as a matter of course: "Because our princess donated a lot of sesame oil." β
"What?" This answer was so unexpected that Emperor Jing Ming couldn't help leaning forward and blurted out.
The people in the hall were even more stunned.
What does this have to do with sesame oil money?
Ah Man crossed his fingers and explained: "Today, our princess and Princess Qi went to Baiyun Temple to pray for blessings, our princess donated 1,800 taels of sesame oil, and Princess Qi only donated 400 taels, not even a fraction of our princess." The amount of money donated to sesame oil represents the sincerity of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, our princess is so sincere, of course the Buddha and Bodhisattva will bless it......"
The little maid said and looked at everyone, and said confidently: "So it's not strange that our princess is safe and sound, good people have good rewards." β
For such a simple reason, these nobles are still asking over and over again, are they annoying.
The hall was still eerily quiet, but everyone's eyes fell on King Qi.
King Qi's face turned the color of pig liver.
He'd never been so embarrassed in his life!
The two princesses went to offer incense, Princess Yan donated 1,800 taels, while his wife only donated 400 taels, and he couldn't imagine how the Li family survived at that time.
That's fine, he knows what the situation in the palace is, and he also understands the Li family's thoughts, I'm afraid that as long as Princess Yan dies, the matter of donating sesame oil money will pass. But now he was pointed out by a little maid in front of his father.
King Qi seemed to have received countless slaps, and his face was swollen.
Emperor Jingming glanced at King Qi expressionlessly, and asked the queen: "I have always forgotten to ask, why did Princess Qi and Princess Yan go to Baiyun Temple together to offer incense today?" β
The queen faintly had a hint of darkness, and her face did not show any light: "Isn't Concubine Xian sick, the two princesses went to Baiyun Temple to pray for Concubine Xian." β
Emperor Jingming raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and glanced at King Qi again, this time his eyes became more and more displeased.
Concubine Xian sees how the fourth and seventh are in his eyes, if Concubine Xian treats the fourth child as the palm of her hand, then the seventh child is probably the callus on the heel in her heart - such an accurate description appeared in an instant, and Emperor Jingming moved the corners of his mouth.
The calluses on the heels seem to be a little excessive, but Concubine Xian knows about the fourth child's partiality.
But at the critical time, the sesame oil money donated by the fourth daughter-in-law was not even a fraction of the seventh daughter-in-law's, which shows the coldness of her heart.
How a daughter-in-law treats her mother-in-law, in the final analysis, depends on the son's attitude towards her mother, and this truth is the same in ordinary people's homes and in heaven.
Anyway, in Emperor Jingming's simple cognition, this is the truth. Therefore, it is not surprising that he was dissatisfied with King Qi.
King Qi was almost unable to stand at Emperor Jingming's glance, and his heart fell straight down.
He is diligent and self-disciplined, self-denying and courteous, just to make his father look at him differently, but after working hard for so many years, he has not seen his father's blue eyes on him, but he didn't expect dissatisfaction to come so easily.
At this moment, King Qi really felt wronged.
Emperor Jingming didn't care whether King Qi was wronged or not, and instructed Pan Hai: "Let people go and see if the Li family has woken up." β
A "Li family" made the hearts of the people present feel a pang.
What happened to Princess Qi is self-evident.
Pan Hai immediately ordered the chamberlain to run to Kunning Palace to inquire, and after a while, he reported: "Princess Qi has not woken up yet." β
Emperor Jingming frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Fourth, bring people back to the Qi Palace." β
With all the human and material evidence, it doesn't matter if Princess Qi wakes up or not, and Emperor Jingming obviously doesn't want to go deeper.
If Princess Qi was given a chance to speak, Princess Qi pointed out that Princess Yan's counterattack would only make the situation embarrassing.
He can't punish the seventh daughter-in-law just because she uses a little means to protect herself, if so, wouldn't the victim have to be slaughtered?
This is not in line with Emperor Jingming's simple cognition.
Emperor Jingming pondered for a while and said: "Princess Li of Qi was overly frightened by the horse and went insane, so let her recuperate well in the future, and don't see outsiders." β
King Qi was shocked: "Father-"
This surprise is almost all faked, otherwise it seems that he is too unkind.
"Huh?" Emperor Jingming's face was slightly gloomy.
King Qi showed a look of pain on his face, and finally answered in a deep voice.
Emperor Jingming looked at Jiang Yi: "Old seventh daughter-in-law, you are frightened today, go back and have a good rest, and turn around...... Own compensation. β
"The daughter-in-law has caused trouble for the father and the queen mother." Jiang seemed to be polite, and there were no extraneous branches.
She has never been greedy, killing Princess Qi has solved a small goal, and the remaining goals can be taken step by step.
No, Princess Qi is not a small target for her.
Although the difficulty of solving Princess Qi is not as great as that of solving the eldest princess of Rongyang, Princess Qi is different to her.
She died at the hands of Princess Qi in her previous life, and psychologically she naturally fell behind in the face of Princess Qi, and that instinctive fear took great perseverance to overcome.
Emperor Jingming sent everyone away, leaving the queen alone.
"Queen, Concubine Xian, remember to let me know."
