Zhou Qiongyue only wanted to lie flat and chill—
Instead, she transmigrated into a novel she once read, full of backstabbing household drama.
Worse yet, she wasn’t even the heroine....
The eldest princess Li Shihuan was supported by two maids and knelt in the center of the hall. At this time, the eldest princess looked pale and looked like she was about to faint at any time.
When people looked at the eldest princess like this, they felt no sympathy at all, which shows how unpopular the eldest princess Li Shihuan was.
"Father..." The eldest princess Li Shihuan called out to her father in a tortuous and sad way.
But the emperor no longer felt any remorse at this moment, "Evil girl, do you know what you are doing?"
The emperor felt that the royal family had been disgraced by this evil girl today, and the princess's reputation was particularly damaged.
The emperor has more than one daughter, the eldest princess, and he can imagine the reactions of the court officials when his other daughters seek husbands in the future.
The eldest princess hadn't figured out the situation yet, and was completely lost in the grief of her miscarriage. Her first reaction was to ask the emperor to make the decision for her, "Father, please save my child. I've worked so hard for so many years to get pregnant with this one."
When the emperor heard Li Shihuan dare to say this in front of all the noble ministers, he almost fainted from anger.
It was only after the Queen's gentle words of comfort that the Emperor finally calmed down.
The emperor stared at the pitiful Li Shihuan crying alone below with a cruel look, "Do you know that this is still the mourning period for your royal grandmother?"
This is actually what the emperor cares about most. As for cuckolding the prince consort, it is not a big deal in the emperor's eyes.
It's okay for his daughter to be a little spoiled.
When the eldest princess Li Shihuan heard her father's angry questioning, she was also very angry and felt that her father no longer loved her at all.
The eldest princess looked up and saw the emperor, her eyes full of madness and unwillingness, "So what? When the Empress Dowager was alive, she didn't like me either, and she even publicly issued an imperial decree not allowing me to attend the palace banquet.
After the Empress Dowager passed away, she left none of her jewelry to us. They were all given to the Princess of Fu'an.
In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, we are not the only one, isn't there only the Princess of Fu'an?
The Empress Dowager is not kind, so why should I be filial to her? "
The eldest princess hated the old queen mother so much that she was so happy that she was dead.
If it weren't for the Queen Mother's obstruction, perhaps her husband would have been Yuan Chaokang by now. She had experienced so many men, but she still felt that Yuan Chaokang, whom she had never had, was the most attractive.
The queen sitting upstairs was horrified when she heard the eldest princess' words, and she sneered in her heart at the eldest princess, calling her a fool.
Zhou Qiongyue and Prince Rong also stood up angrily, "How dare you insult the Empress Dowager?"
"Oh, the Princess of Fu'an and Prince Rong are really in sync. Doesn't Prince Fu'an feel like he's a little cheated?"
The eldest princess, Li Shihuan, was about to let herself go. She even scolded the Queen Mother and was not afraid of Princess Fu'an and Prince Rong at all.
Zhou Qiongyue, who had a bad temper, couldn't stand it at all. She grabbed the juice cup next to her and threw it over.
The eldest princess received the same treatment as the Prince Consort Tang just now, and her forehead started bleeding instantly.
If Princess Yongchun and Yuan Bohua had not quickly grabbed Zhou Qiongyue, she would have already rushed forward.
When the emperor saw this scene, he symbolically took a step back, as if he was afraid of being implicated.
The emperor's inner subtext at this time was, my cousin is old, but still as tough as before. She dealt with that bastard Li Shihuan, so she won't deal with me, right?
All the noble ministers present were stunned by Zhou Qiongyue's action. They had only heard that Princess Fu'an was a tough girl, but they had never seen her in person.
This time I finally saw him, and he really took action as soon as he said he would!
Gong Lianyu and Ren Xiyu looked at their mother-in-law like this, their eyes full of envy. Is this the confidence of having a cousin who is the emperor? They also want to have it.
"You dare to hit me?" Li Shihuan covered her head with her hands, her face full of disbelief. If the two maids hadn't held her back, she would have rushed up to fight back.
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will not only beat you, but also kill you." Zhou Qiongyue really didn't think that the emperor would dare to kill her just after the empress dowager left.
As for the future, she is already living a miserable life now, so who would care about it?
The brothers Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang both looked at the eldest princess with unfriendly eyes.
Seeing that she was being held back and couldn't hit Princess Fu'an, the eldest princess turned to the emperor and complained, "Father, look... Princess Fu'an dared to hit me in front of everyone. You have to help me!"
The Emperor... "The princess is the elder, so what's wrong with hitting you, a wicked creature?"
The emperor glanced at the crowd of people watching the excitement in the hall and thought to himself, "Let's destroy it! This royal family's face has been completely lost."
The Emperor quickly announced, "The eldest princess, Li Shihuan, disrespected the Empress Dowager, became pregnant during her mourning period, and slandered her. She will be demoted to a commoner! The former princess residence will be reclaimed."
Li Shihuan was really confused now. Why was it the Princess of Fu'an who beat people, but she was the one who was punished?
"Father...you are partial to me. I don't accept this. I don't accept this." Li Shihuan looked at the emperor with a crazy look in his eyes, as if he was going to rush up and fight with the emperor.
The emperor was completely disappointed with his daughter at this point, and he felt resentful at the slightest dissatisfaction. He had Li Shihuan dragged out.
After the emperor dealt with his daughter, he looked at the prince consort Tang who was kneeling beside him. The emperor was also very displeased with the prince consort Tang. "A man of his stature can't even control a woman."
Moreover, today, the eldest princess Li Shihuan had a miscarriage in public. Although the emperor did not find out who did it, the emperor's first suspect was Prince Consort Tang.
No one could plot against his daughter and get away with it, and the emperor didn't have to rely on evidence to handle matters. "I will allow the divorce of Prince Consort Tang and commoner Li Shihuan, strip Tang Ronglei of his official title, and prohibit his descendants from taking the imperial examinations for three generations."
Tang Ronglei did not struggle, but calmly accepted the order and expressed his gratitude.
While doing all this, he thought he was going to die, and all he wanted was for him not to vent his anger on his relatives.
He didn't expect that he just couldn't pass the imperial examination. Tang Ronglei was already scared by Yuan'an, this den of wolves. He was looking forward to returning to the village to grow crops.
But he still knew where this place was, and he tried hard to act as if he didn't care about anything, like a walking corpse.
The emperor finally looked at his cousin Zhou Qiongyue.
Zhou Qiongyue knelt on the ground very sensibly, took out her handkerchief and began to cry, "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken for the Empress Dowager.
Auntie! Why did you leave?
The more Zhou Qiongyue spoke, the louder she cried. Yuan Bohua was still kneeling beside Zhou Qiongyue, changing her handkerchief from time to time.
Prince Rong, upon seeing this, quickly pleaded, "Royal brother, let's just forget about it! My cousin is already crying, just fine her one or two ounces of silver."
