The fifth princess returned to the Qi Mansion trembling with fear. Qi Xuan had been waiting in her yard for a long time.
Seeing her come in, he quickly stood up and walked towards her with a very elegant smile, "Well, what does the emperor say?"
If he had not been unable to take the higher exams, he would not have asked the fifth princess to beg the emperor.
The fifth princess looked at Qi Xuan with some shame, then quickly lowered her eyes.
"Husband, the emperor didn't agree. It's my incompetence."
Her father's original words were so harsh that she didn't dare tell Qi Xuan, for fear that Qi Xuan would be angry.
"Didn't agree?" The smile on Qi Xuan's face disappeared completely, replaced by a cold expression that frightened the Fifth Princess.
He raised his hand and grabbed the Fifth Princess' wrist, forcing her to look up. "You are truly incompetent, otherwise you wouldn't be unable to handle such a small matter. If you weren't my nemesis, I wouldn't be like this."
Qi Xuan knew that as long as he mentioned this matter and the child, the Fifth Princess would feel guilty.
So what if she's a princess? He sneered in his heart, she's still just a dog that can only wag its tail and beg for mercy.
If you are happy, you coax him; if you are unhappy, you beat him.
Anyway, although he had no official duties, he had a good reputation outside. Everyone knew that he was deeply in love with the Fifth Princess and would certainly not believe that he would dare to disrespect the princess.
…
Yu Yiluo was brought to the Qi Mansion by the Emperor. Minister Qi happened to be on vacation today, so when he saw the Emperor coming in, he hurried forward to greet him.
"Your Majesty has arrived. I am sorry for not coming to greet you. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
[Why did the tyrant suddenly decide to come to the Qi residence? Could it be that he wanted to see if there were any women suitable for the imperial selection?]
[Seeing someone else's memorial asking for a concubine selection, he pretended to be angry. But his body is more honest than anyone else. Isn't Baba coming here?]
emperor:"……"
He just wanted to see with his own eyes how Qi Xuan beat the Fifth Princess.
And whether Minister Qi knew about it.
So they deliberately didn't let anyone pass it on so as not to alert the enemy.
Seeing that the emperor remained silent for a long time, Minister Qi secretly looked at the emperor, wondering why he came.
"Get up, I'm here to see the Fifth Princess."
Upon hearing this, Minister Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He thought something had gone wrong with his mission, but it turned out that he was visiting the princess.
"Now take me to the princess's yard."
Minister Qi was puzzled. Shouldn't he have called the Fifth Princess to the front yard? But he only dared to think about it in his heart and didn't dare to ask more questions.
The emperor saw that Minister Qi looked frank and seemed really unaware of the matter. He raised his eyebrows slightly. If he really didn't know, he would handle it as appropriate.
[Wow, Minister Qi is quite frank, personally taking the tyrant to see how his eldest son beat the fifth princess.]
[I don't know if I'll regret it later.]
When they arrived at the backyard, the emperor indicated that there was no need to inform anyone and walked directly to the house where the fifth princess lived, holding Yu Yiluo in his arms.
Could it be that the Emperor wanted to give the Fifth Princess a surprise, so he deliberately didn't allow the news to be passed on?
The emperor walked to the door and stopped.
[The door was ajar, but unfortunately I couldn't see anyone.]
The fifth princess, who was being dragged into the room, heard this and subconsciously tried to break free from Qi Xuan's shackles.
"Husband, you hurt me."
The little princess couldn't have appeared here for no reason. Someone must have brought her here. If someone in the palace saw this, my husband would definitely be held accountable.
She couldn't let her husband be held accountable.
"You dare to cry out in pain?" Qi Xuan was already unhappy, and when he saw that the person who usually didn't fight back or retaliate dared to resist, his anger reached its peak in an instant.
He raised his hand and slapped the Fifth Princess hard. "How dare you contradict me? Although you are a princess, I am your husband. Is it because I don't have an official position that you look down on me?"
The crisp sound of slapping reached the ears of several people standing outside the door. The emperor's face looked ugly. Minister Qi glanced at him secretly and was so scared that sweat broke out on his forehead.
Minister Qi must have been dumbfounded. He had a mistress and an illegitimate child, and his son wasn't one to be outdone, beating up the princess in the backyard.
The Qi family is truly bizarre. Minister Qi keeps a mistress outside, Mother Qi frames her niece for her son's concubine, and Qi Xuan abuses his fifth sister. Only Aunt Lan is smart.
The emperor glanced at Minister Qi and thought that he was busy with official business and neglected it, but he didn't expect that he was spending all his time on women.
The slapping sounds in the room continued, and Minister Qi was frightened.
Apart from handling official business, he would go to his concubine's house to play with his youngest son. He never expected that this unfilial son would do such a heinous thing.
"I didn't," the fifth princess in the room denied it, her cheeks already covered with slap marks. She raised her hands to cover her face.
The emperor couldn't stand it anymore and kicked the door open.
Qi Xuan was furious. When he heard the noise, he thought it was the servants who didn't know how to speak. Without even turning his head, he angrily shouted, "You stupid guys, did I let you in?"
"Father." The fifth princess was facing the door, so she noticed the emperor when he came in.
"You still want to threaten me with the emperor?" Qi Xuan didn't understand what was going on. He raised his foot and kicked the fifth princess hard, and the foul language he spoke was even more unpleasant than that of a street shrew.
"How dare you scold the emperor."
As soon as Eunuch Cao said this, Qi Xuan seemed to be under a spell, and his body froze in place.
He heard it right, it was the emperor?
[What good would it do if the tyrant saw this? The Fifth Princess would definitely excuse him.]
Sure enough, Qi Xuan was still stiffly facing away from the emperor, and the Fifth Princess fell to her knees with a thud.
"Father, my husband...my son-in-law is playing a game with me."
Qi Xuan also came back to his senses and knelt down with the Fifth Princess, "Your Majesty, everything the Fifth Princess said is true. We are indeed playing a game."
[Tsk tsk, playing games? You two are quite good at it.]
[Even after all this, they are still trying to excuse the domestic violence man. If that's the case, please respect and bless him!]
emperor:"……"
He respects nothing, this is a slap in his face.
"Come here, Qi Xuan assaulted the princess and insulted me. He will be taken to the Heavenly Prison directly. After the matter is thoroughly investigated, appropriate punishment will be given."
"Father, you can't take the Prince Consort away. He didn't hit me."
The emperor snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm blind? Take him away."
When Qi's mother heard that the emperor was brought to the backyard, she thought something was wrong and rushed over in a hurry. However, what she feared happened still happened.
"Your Majesty, how could Xuan'er hit the princess? You must be mistaken. It is well known that they have a deep affection for each other."
"Don't you know best whether your son hit the princess or not? You dare to harass her. Your son has pampered the Fifth Princess to the point of losing his mind, so he's naturally even more fearless."
"Yes, father." The fifth princess echoed, and the emperor almost vomited blood in anger.
"Your Majesty, look, the princess said it herself." Mother Qi was excited, and her dislike for the Fifth Princess was lessened.
Minister Qi stood aside with a look of despair on his face, wondering if he would be implicated, and was completely unconcerned with the conversation between the few people.
He worked diligently for several years and finally became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but it was all ruined by this rebellious son.
