Chapter 129:
Xiao Junzhan lowered his eyes and said, "After tonight, not a single snake will appear in the palace again."
“No!”
"Tomorrow you will go back to the capital in person to investigate this matter thoroughly. No matter who is involved, there is no need to be merciful." Xiao Junzhan said in a calm tone, "Since they dare to take action, I must let them know what it means to be timid."
Xie Li knelt down on one knee and accepted the order: "Yes, I will obey the order."
…………
Several ministers witnessed the snake encounter in the back garden of the inner city, and Xiao Junzhan did not specifically block the news. Therefore, the news spread to the outer city soon, and all the ministers and their families heard the news.
There was a lot of speculation at the moment.
The residence of the Duke of Qi.
“How can that person be so lucky?” Qi Yuxiao slapped his hand on the table and snorted angrily: “How could he escape unscathed in such a dangerous situation when being chased by a group of snakes?”
“Yes, I heard that some people in this world have great blessings and have luck that others don’t have.”
Liu Wanning looked calm and sighed: "I think Miss Wei must be the blessed person in the legend."
"Hmph, she is not a lucky person." Qi Yuxiao said with disdain, "She is charming and coaxed into favoring her for a while. It won't take long for Uncle Huang to see through her true face and see how good you are, Sister Liu." ”
Liu Wanning smiled faintly and said nothing. She only raised her hand to pour her a cup of tea. Her movements were elegant and quiet, and she looked good. When Qi Yuxiao saw her, she felt sorry for the handkerchief.
What a beautiful woman, as beautiful as a flower. She has been lovingly waiting for the emperor's uncle for many years, and her heart is as strong as iron. Now, she has been robbed of everything by a country girl who doesn't know where she came from!
Thinking of myself again...it is even more sad.
They are two sisters who share the same problem. They fall into the hands of the same woman and let her steal their sweetheart.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, Sister Liu. Knowing that the man was almost bitten by a snake, my husband, who has always been a good-natured man, changed his face because of his anxiety." Qi Yuxiao sneered: "You are younger than me, but your skills are amazing. Could it be? You’ve been learning this since you were born? If she gives a class, I will come and learn.”
These days, Liu Wanning has become accustomed to hearing her sarcastic words. She looked worried when she heard her words and said, "Young Master of the Gu family, haven't you..."
"Don't mention him! I get annoyed when I mention him. Why did I fall in love with him so much in the first place!" Qi Yuxiao's eyes turned red and she almost shed tears: "Since the day we got married, I haven't been married. When he came to my room, he didn’t know who he was guarding.”
"...This," Liu Wanning frowned, not knowing how to comfort her. He handed her a handkerchief and asked softly, "Don't you know, Your Highness the Princess?"
“My mother-in-law didn’t approve of me marrying into the Gu family at first, but later she agreed to it for some reason, but she also annoyed me a little... How can I tell her about this kind of thing?”
Should she go and tell her mother to force Gu Yunran to consummate the marriage with her?
No matter how overbearing Qi Yuxiao is, he cannot do such a thing.
It’s so embarrassing.
The more embarrassed she felt, the more she hated the person who caused her such humiliation.
Thinking of what happened to Wei Hanzhang today, Qi Yuxiao's face showed a hint of coldness: "I'll just say that she is too poor to bear the great favor of the emperor. I don't know how many people can't stand her."
She picked up the teacup and took a sip, then laughed and said, "I almost died laughing when I thought about the scene of her being chased by a snake and being so frightened."
"Chengyi," Liu Wanning shook her head in disapproval and advised: "You should be careful what you say. After all, she is the princess who has received the imperial edict. If you let others listen, you will be punished again."
"I'm afraid she will do nothing but be a coquettish girl who only knows how to blow pillows!"
There was fear on Qi Yuxiao's face, but she said firmly: "I heard from my mother-in-law that the imperial uncle promised to restore me to the title of princess when I get married, but he didn't mention it later. She must have been the one who got it. "Making trouble." As she said this, she slapped the table angrily: "Why didn't those snakes bite her to death?"
If she is really bitten to death, she will be pure.
"No matter what, she is a confirmed Crown Princess, and we will never allow us to make sarcastic remarks." Liu Wanning looked serious and said, "She was in danger when she first came to the palace. His Highness the Crown Prince did not cover up the news, and he must also have the intention of beating others up."
Qi Yuxiao was startled and asked, "What did Sister Liu mean?"
"The future Crown Princess is frightened. It's okay if she doesn't know about it. Now that we have the news, the ministers and their families will definitely go to pay their respects." Liu Wanning smiled lightly: "Your Highness thinks that the imperial edict is not fair enough, and he can't wait to sit down immediately. It’s better to confirm her identity.”
"What?" Qi Yuxiao slammed the table and said angrily: "I won't go!"
Those who can accompany the other palaces are all important officials of the court, and all their family members are imperial wives. The visit of these court ladies is beyond what a boudoir girl can afford.
I'm really not afraid of losing my life if I have bad luck.
Hearing this, Liu Wanning smiled gently and did not persuade her.
On the contrary, Qi Yuxiao saw her demure and gentle look and couldn't bear to say: "Why don't you go? I want to ask her what her plans are for you. Since the emperor's uncle has set a precedent for welcoming a concubine, she can be the first choice in the East Palace." If you are a palace concubine, there will definitely be a second one soon. Let’s see if she is more sensible and takes the initiative to give you a title.”
“She can’t be the only one in my uncle’s harem anyway.”
After saying that, Qi Yuxiao sneered and said: "She is still young, and they say that young girls are not easy to entertain. When you enter the East Palace and give birth to the emperor's eldest son first, it is not certain who will win by then." Woolen cloth."
"I don't have that big ambition, and I won't compete with her for anything." Liu Wanning smiled lightly and harmlessly said, "As long as there is room for me in the East Palace, that's enough."
The position of the Crown Princess was transferred to another family. Although she was angry, it was not that difficult to accept.
Even, deep down, I felt a little relieved.
That man's hard heart was finally shaken.
She can't be the big dish that impresses him, so it might as well be an embellishment in her spare time.
Although Qi Yuxiao is stupid, she is right. As long as she can enter the East Palace, even if she is just a small concubine, it will be better than waiting hopelessly day after day.
As for the fact that His Royal Highness the Prince has only one woman in his harem, neither of them has ever thought about it.
That’s ridiculous.
It would be fine if the East Palace never welcomes people, but since it is an exception, once His Highness has a taste of love, he will definitely fall in love with all kinds of beauties in the world like other men in the world.
After all, no matter how much you love a dish, there will always be a time when you get tired of the taste, and no matter how much a person loves it, there will be a time when it tastes boring.
As long as she can enter his backyard, it will all depend on her ability. No matter how hard she tries, she still has to be looked after by him.
Even if the starting lines are different, the one who laughs at the end is the winner.
She, Liu Wanning, has never given up.
What does it mean if you can’t be the love of your heart for a while? (End of chapter)
