Chapter 17: The Imperial Complaint

Concubine De saw her face clearly and gasped, "My son, what's going on?" You are the princess, and no one dares to beat you? Concubine De carefully held her face and looked left and right.

Xia's eyes overflowed with tears, he wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, and said aggrievedly: "Don't ask, Niangniang, Wan'er is fine." ”

How can you not ask if your own child is being bullied? Seeing that she didn't dare to be angry and didn't dare to speak, Concubine De understood a little in her heart, "Don't be afraid, your aunt will make the decision for you in everything, you honestly tell your aunt, is it the hand of King Qin?" ”

Xia didn't speak, just lowered his head and secretly wiped his tears, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Concubine De helped her sit on the side, asked the palace maid to take the medicine and help her with her own hands, and said angrily: "What is this called? He is a dignified prince, how can he beat the princess? ”

Xia's face did not change and pretended to be pitiful, "The prince has been in a bad mood since he fell from the horse, so he ......"

Concubine De interrupted her angrily, "He didn't get angry with you when he was in a bad mood, let's go to see the emperor after taking the medicine, King Qin is really too much this time." ”

"No need," Xia pulled Concubine De's clothes, "Niangniang, it's a trivial matter in the palace, don't make trouble with the emperor." And the prince has recently got a new favorite, and it is estimated that he will not beat me again. ”

Xia's virtuous and generous nature was full of knives, and before he could say a few words, he first sued Zhou Shuxuan.

Concubine De poked her head in hatred, "You kid, you don't tell the truth to your aunt." I don't think he has a bad temper, I guess it was instigated by that slut. What a new favorite, it's all a fox that charms the master. ”

In her own palace, there are close people on the left and right, Concubine De scolded when she opened her mouth, she has been fighting in the palace for so many years, and she is used to seeing those things.

Xia Shi saw that it was almost over, and threw herself into Concubine De's arms and cried bitterly, "Niangniang, Wan'er doesn't dare to say it." For the sake of that woman, the prince wants to divorce me. I'm afraid that if I pester, he will kill me directly. Yesterday, he didn't know what anyone said, saying that I was greedy for the money and silver in the house, and withheld the money of the side concubine, so he let people beat me and let people raid my courtyard. Niangniang, Wan'er is really wronged. ”

didn't dare to say anything about gunpowder, but Zhou Shuxuan had to have another reason to be angry, so Xia had to make up a nonsense, and Miao Li was connected to the words.

When Concubine De heard this, she was angry and said to the palace maid beside her with a dark face: "Go and invite the emperor to come over." Then he turned back to wipe his tears for Xia, "You are the princess, you are the housewife, and you will deduct their silver." And why don't they find you for them? Don't cry, what's the use of crying, let those sluts bully to the top of their heads. When the emperor comes, we will let him comment. ”

In the Qinzheng Hall over there, Father Xia said a lot of good things about Zhou Shuxuan in front of the emperor, paving the way for Xia's complaint later. Let the emperor know that his Xia family treats Zhou Shuxuan wholeheartedly, but Zhou Shuxuan treats his daughter like this, and the emperor will definitely have another idea in his heart when he arrives.

When the palace maid from Concubine De's side came, Father Xia praised Zhou Shuxuan a few more words, saying that he was talented and virtuous, and the emperor's face was not very good and he didn't speak, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, the palace maid came in and kowtowed, "The slave and maid see the emperor, and Concubine De asks the emperor to come over." ”

The emperor glanced at Father Xia and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it seems to be for Princess Qin."

The emperor's eyebrows were furrowed, and he asked Father Xia, "Princess Qin has also entered the palace?" Xia Qing, do you know why? ”

Father Xia stood up and bowed and said, "Back to the emperor, it seems that the prince and the princess had a little awkwardness, and it is not a big deal." ”

"Princess Qin has always been obedient and sensible, if she hadn't suffered any grievances, she wouldn't have gone to the palace to complain. As a father, why don't you care about your children at all? ”

The emperor remembered that Father Xia was the father of Princess Qin, but he didn't seem to remember that he was the father of King Qin.

The emperor pointed to Father Xia and said, "Let's go, I actually asked someone to come and invite, I will go over and take a look, you kneel down first." ”

Father Xia was still praising Zhou Shuxuan just now, and now his daughter has come to sue, which is really a slap in the face. There was a little more imperceptible smile on the emperor's face, he knew that Zhou Shuxuan was the best among his sons, but he was destined to not like him with such a biological mother.

The Qinzheng Palace is very close to Yuqing Palace, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to arrive.

"The emperor has arrived!"

Hearing the eunuch shouting outside, Concubine De took Xia to kneel down in the house and greeted him with a big salute. Xia clenched his handkerchief, whether he lived or died today depends on the emperor's words.

"Get up, what's the matter with me?"

Concubine De pulled up Xia Shi and pointed at her face and said: "Your Majesty, this is all beaten by King Qin, King Qin's favorite concubine and wife have reached this point, if it weren't for this child entering the palace to see the concubine, I don't know how many grievances he would have suffered." The emperor wants to call the shots for her. ”

Anyone who sees that bruise can't bear it, the emperor's face is not very good-looking. But he still knows a little bit about Zhou Shuxuan, although his temper is not very good, he is reasonable, and it is impossible to beat people for no reason.

Xia stole a glance at the emperor, ordinary people still help their sons at home, not to mention that Zhou Shuxuan is still a prince, if the emperor wants to help Zhou Shuxuan a little, it will not be easy to do. The emperor didn't speak for a long time, Xia's heart was pounding, and cold sweat kept breaking out in his palms.
