Chapter 115 No wonder that guy likes it
A middle-aged man sitting in the front row slowly raised his head.
The man was wearing a dark green robe and a jade crown on his head. Although he was old and had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his facial features were still sharp and angular. It was obvious that he was very handsome when he was young.
When he saw his daughter looking at him, he stood up from his chair and saluted the Emperor of Southern Yan above him.
"Royal brother, I failed to discipline my daughter. I have spoiled her character. All those things before were just misunderstandings between them. I will ask her to apologize to Miss Qin right now."
Prince Lian turned around slowly, narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Mingzhu deeply.
He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman in the harem would have such courage to use her eloquence to fight against the imperial power in an occasion like today.
Qin Mingzhu smiled and said, "Your Highness is right. I hit the princess just as a joke. Don't you agree?"
Prince Lian narrowed his eyes, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to be overflowing.
"Madam Qin, Yuan'er is a princess after all. Her status is clear. You are committing insubordination by attacking her like this."
Qin Mingzhu raised the corners of her lips and said, "As a princess, I am indeed a delicate and noble woman, but I am now the wife of a first-rank minister in the court. Although we haven't officially held a wedding banquet, the imperial decree is here."
She asked Chunhua to bring the box she was carrying.
When she came to the palace today, she knew it would not be quiet, so she was prepared.
Qin Mingzhu unfolded the imperial edict granting marriage written by the Emperor of Southern Yan without hesitation. This was the first time that this imperial edict was shown to everyone.
Before, everyone had only heard about it but had not seen it with their own eyes. Now, after seeing the imperial edict, their expressions have changed slightly.
With the imperial decree granting the marriage, Qin Mingzhu is Yan Fengxiao's future wife.
Prince Lian's expression also changed.
"Yuan'er, why don't you apologize quickly for being rude to Madam Yan before!"
His voice was deep. Qin Mingzhu's defiance made him look unhappy. Prince Lian obviously felt that he had lost face at today's banquet.
Yan Qingyuan's eyes were filled with resentment when he heard this.
But she still got up from the ground, then turned around a little reluctantly and said to Qin Mingzhu: "I'm sorry for what happened before..."
There was a very obvious slap mark on her cheek.
Qin Mingzhu saw that the father and daughter just didn't want to offend the Emperor of Southern Yan, so they took the initiative to find a way out.
But... she didn't want to either.
"Princess Yuan just wanted to have me arrested. Let me think about what you plan to do to me after you arrest me."
Yan Qingyuan's eyes widened a little.
She had already backed off, but she didn't expect Qin Mingzhu to be so ungrateful.
She lowered her voice and whispered to Qin Mingzhu, "I advise Madam Qin to be more sensible and not to push her too far!"
Qin Mingzhu narrowed her eyes and spoke again in front of the ministers and everyone present at the banquet, "Your Majesty, please help me. Just because you are a royal relative, does that mean you can humiliate and oppress the families of meritorious officials at will? Moreover, today is the celebration banquet held by the Emperor specifically for the victory report from the border. If this matter is not explained and word gets out, what will the soldiers of the three border armies think? Even their commander's family is left in the capital to be bullied, so what about their families?"
This time, she is just taking advantage of the situation.
Now that he had taken action, he had to suppress Princess Yuan so that she would never dare to come in front of him again and tell her how serious the consequences would be if she offended him.
Yan Qingyuan was stunned. Hearing the righteous words from Qin Mingzhu's mouth, he felt dizzy and even his body shook involuntarily.
She deserves to die!
If she hadn't come to provoke this crazy woman, she wouldn't have been verbally irritated by this crazy woman like she is now.
She was usually arrogant and it was difficult for her to apologize. Now it seemed that Qin Mingzhu had no intention of letting her go.
“You…you…”
Qin Mingzhu stood aside.
He looked at Yan Qingyuan with a wary look.
"Princess Yuan's apology isn't sincere. She must be trying to get away with it in front of the Emperor and then seek revenge later. I'm just a weak woman, and my husband isn't home. I'm truly terrified of a royal relative like you. If I get hurt or die after returning, it will definitely be Princess Yuan's fault!"
"I……"
Princess Yuan was speechless at this moment.
She had indeed thought so before.
But now that Qin Mingzhu said it in front of the emperor, it was not a good thing.
After listening to Qin Mingzhu's long speech, the Emperor of Southern Yan had some understanding of Yan Fengxiao's new wife.
It seems that all the good behavior before was fake.
This girl is obviously not a pushover, she won't take any loss.
There was a look of helplessness in his eyes, but he secretly praised her in his heart. No wonder that boy liked her...
"Today's banquet is indeed to celebrate the victory of Commander Yan's army, and since you are Commander Yan's fiancée, you are half the host of this banquet."
His words were an affirmation of Qin Mingzhu's status and position.
It was also said to the ministers around him.
Many people looked at Qin Mingzhu with different eyes.
Before, everyone thought that Qin Mingzhu was just lucky and had benefited a little from Yan Fengxiao, so they didn't take her seriously.
Now everyone understands that this governor's wife is not a good person.
Even the princess was under her control, and Prince Lian couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
Because what Qin Mingzhu said makes sense and is the general trend.
"Yan Qingyuan, although you are a princess, you are the first to humiliate the wife of a meritorious official. You are guilty. Do you think what I said is right?"
"Uncle Huang, I was just a little jealous, so I went to ask her a few questions. It might be that Qingyuan's attitude was a little bad. Qingyuan was wrong, and I will definitely change in the future! But, she just scolded me, saying that I was ugly, and also said that I... said I was throwing myself at her. Governor Yan even thought I was unlucky. That's why I was so angry and almost hit her. After all, it's not just Qingyuan's fault!"
Qin Mingzhu said that sentence in a voice that only she and Princess Yuan could hear.
Deliberately suppressed.
At that time, there was still music in the hall, and there was no one else around her except Wen Wanning.
Of course Qin Mingzhu didn't admit it.
"The princess is really something. To escape punishment, she's willing to tell any lie."
"I didn't lie, I really didn't lie, Uncle Huang..."
However, the Emperor of Southern Yan ignored Yan Qingyuan's pleas for mercy.
He was of course very clear about who his niece was. Since she had taken the initiative to provoke him, she would have to pay the price.
"Come here, slap her in the face until... Madam Yan is satisfied."
The title of Madam Yan made Qin Mingzhu feel very comfortable.
She turned her head to look at Yan Qingyuan, whose eyes were red, and slowly raised the corners of her lips. Then she said to the nanny who came over to carry out the execution: "Beat him."
