Chapter 454: The Imperial Concubine Apologizes and is Grounded
Normally they shouldn't offend the Emperor by looking directly at him, but at this moment they really couldn't help it.
Some of the brave ones secretly looked at the emperor and Xiao Ying, and then an idea came to their mind.
I felt like I might have discovered some secret, and my heart was about to jump out of my throat.
The emperor protects Princess Yingfeng so much, could it be that he has taken a fancy to her and wants to take her into his harem?
Princess Yingfeng is outstanding in appearance, even better than the Imperial Concubine and the Shufei. It is not surprising that the Emperor falls in love with her.
However, Princess Yingfeng is a widow after all, and she has four children.
If she really enters the harem, what will happen to the children?
For a moment, the noble ladies who thought they had seen through the truth were in a mess and thinking about far away things.
The imperial concubine also thought of this because she had had such an idea before.
Now that she saw the emperor publicly defending Princess Yingfeng and scolding her, she thought so even more.
She gritted her teeth and clenched her hand tightly, wishing she could tear Xiao Ying into pieces.
"Your Majesty, I am at least a noble concubine in the palace. Don't you think I don't even have the qualifications to punish a princess who committed treason?"
Her eyes turned red and she was about to cry, she felt extremely aggrieved.
"I don't understand what I did wrong. I hope Your Majesty can explain it clearly."
She doesn't accept it!
It was clearly Princess Yingfeng's fault, why did the emperor say that to her?
He actually scolded her in public and humiliated her in front of outsiders. How could she face the families of these foreign officials in the future?
And that bitch Shufei must be gloating and laughing at her, right?
The emperor was so angry that he laughed.
"My dear concubine, you still don't know where you are wrong? It seems that what Princess Yingfeng said is indeed right. You are really used to being high and mighty."
"Don't think I don't know what happened before. You keep mocking Princess Yingfeng's life experience."
"By saying she's from the countryside and uneducated, isn't that just an attempt to belittle her and make people think she's unworthy of being here?"
"Princess Yingfeng was personally appointed by me. She has repeatedly contributed gifts that benefit the country and the people, and is deeply loved by court officials and the people."
"But now, when she comes to you, she is ridiculed and mocked just because she comes from the countryside and can't write poetry?"
"Oh, I want to ask you, what contributions have you made to the Moon Kingdom and the people of the world?"
"How dare you treat Princess Yingfeng like this?!"
Not to mention that Xiao Ying is an unfathomable cultivator and is on good terms with the Yu family.
Even without this background, she should be treated with respect based on the contributions she has made.
The imperial concubine actually dared to rely on her status to suppress her like this, and she still doesn't repent. She is really stupid.
Take the telescope and magnifying glass for example, he still needs help from Princess Yingfeng, so first of all he has to get the glass from Princess Yingfeng.
What’s more, there are today’s longevity pills and beauty pills.
As soon as these two pills came out, he and Yu Qianli were shocked. These were clearly weakened versions of the longevity pill and the beauty pill!
Princess Yingfeng actually sold such a precious thing to these ordinary people. What was she thinking?
The two of them instantly realized that she must have a large number of pills, and definitely more than just these two.
At that moment, the two of them were shamefully moved.
So he rushed over impatiently, and ended up seeing the imperial concubine mocking Xiao Ying.
The emperor was so angry that he was about to die. He was really worried that the stupid imperial concubine would offend someone and make Princess Yingfeng angry, so that she would no longer give him good things in the future.
With every extra word he spoke, the imperial concubine's face grew paler, and finally her body softened and she staggered.
It’s over. It turns out that the emperor had come here a long time ago and saw everything.
No wonder the Dragon Guards didn’t show up. It must be that the Emperor didn’t allow them to show up.
Therefore, the emperor must have known about Princess Yingfeng's identity as a monk for a long time, which is why he is so partial to her.
Haha, haha…
She suddenly laughed at herself, feeling extremely ironic.
She gave birth to the eldest prince for the emperor, but in the emperor's eyes, she was not as good as Princess Yingfeng.
She felt that everything was just an excuse from the emperor. The emperor clearly had a crush on that woman, so he deliberately protected her.
But no matter how many complaints she had in her heart, she didn't dare to say them out loud at this moment. The emperor was already angry, and there was no benefit in angering him further at this time.
After all, she has been in the palace for so many years, and she knows the principle of being able to bend and stretch. A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him.
Her knees immediately gave way and she fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, it was my fault. Please forgive me!"
Seeing her admit her mistake, no matter whether it was true or false, the emperor's anger was greatly reduced.
"Since you know you're wrong, why don't you apologize to Princess Yingfeng?"
A fierce look flashed across the imperial concubine's eyes, but fortunately she lowered her eyes so no one noticed.
The emperor actually asked her to apologize to a princess. He really didn't care about her dignity and stepped on her face again and again.
She lost. She remembered the humiliation today and would definitely return it one day!
"Princess Yingfeng, I shouldn't have said that to you today. I hope you can forgive me."
She forced a smile and said with a grim expression.
The onlookers were already numb, and the imperial concubine actually apologized to Princess Yingfeng.
This, this is really something new and unheard of.
At the same time, everyone also realized the position of Princess Yingfeng in the emperor's heart. The emperor really loved Princess Yingfeng!
The person involved in the incident, Xiao Ying, just looked at the imperial concubine coldly, which made the imperial concubine's scalp tingle and she cursed in her heart.
Then Xiao Ying said calmly:
"Although the Imperial Concubine's apology is not sincere, I will forgive you today for the Emperor's sake."
"I also hope that the Imperial Concubine will be more careful with her words and actions in the future, and go out more often to see the common people and experience their suffering."
She sat there dignifiedly, while the imperial concubine stood with her eyes lowered, listening to her lecture.
This scene was seen by everyone as funny and weird.
It seems that Xiao Ying is the Imperial Concubine, and the Imperial Concubine is Princess Yingfeng.
Princess Yingfeng is so bold!
The imperial concubine was extremely angry, but she could do nothing about Xiao Ying.
The emperor didn't think there was anything wrong, as Princess Yingfeng was a master in the late stage of Qi Refining.
Not to mention scolding the imperial concubine, it wouldn't be surprising if he wasn't given face.
But looking at the situation, the matter was resolved, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Yu Qianli just stood there watching, and it seemed that only Xiao Ying was in his eyes.
"Your Highness has behaved inappropriately today and is under house arrest for a month."
Then the emperor suddenly gave an order.
When the imperial concubine heard this, her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
She had already apologized, but the emperor still punished her with house arrest? Was he so biased towards Princess Yingfeng?
"emperor……"
She was about to cry and wanted to beg for mercy, but she found that the emperor had a cold expression, and her words of plea were stuck in her throat.
"Your Majesty, please be merciful. I understand."
She suppressed the hatred in her heart, looked at Xiao Ying deeply before leaving, and then turned away.
After taking a few steps, he heard the emperor say again: "Today's flower viewing banquet continues, and Concubine Shu is in charge."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Concubine Shu immediately nodded in thanks with a faint smile.
The imperial concubine tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her face as gloomy as water.
"Princess Yingfeng, would you please have a chat in Tai'an Palace?"
The emperor looked at Xiao Ying again with anticipation in his eyes and actually invited him in public.
