Chapter 271 Unintentional Collision
People in the courtyard were chattering, and the sound soon reached Song Qingyan.
Just now, Han Xiyue and a few others had gone to other places to entertain guests, and now only Song Qingyan and Jinyu were left together.
There were also a few women chatting with him.
Song Qingyan originally wanted to see the excitement, so she turned her head to look over there: "Jinyu, what's going on over there?"
Pei Chuyan stood beside Song Qingyan the whole time.
Without waiting for Jinyu to make any move, he took the lead and took a few steps towards that direction.
After a pause, he turned around and walked back quickly: "Madam, it seems to be Princess Yong'an."
Song Qingyan frowned when she heard this, and the women sitting next to her looked at her nervously, fearing that she would suddenly get angry the next moment.
She didn't care at all. After all, Jinxin and Wanwan were not the kind of people who would suffer losses.
But she was still curious, so she stood up and looked at the ladies around her with a smile: "Please sit down first, I'm going to go see Yong'an."
After saying this, he walked towards Lu Xingwan with big strides without Jinyu stepping forward to support him.
Seeing Song Qingyan leave, the ladies behind her began to discuss in low voices.
"I didn't expect the Imperial Concubine to be so approachable. I thought she was His Majesty's favorite concubine and would be a bit domineering!"
"That's right! I heard that he had been to the battlefield before. I thought he was a cold-blooded person, but I didn't expect he was also a kind-hearted person."
Yes, that’s right, Song Qingyan wanted to act as a matchmaker for someone again.
He also carefully questioned several of the young men and women from the ladies' families present.
"What's wrong?" Song Qingyan's voice came from behind. Jin Xin quickly turned around and bowed, while Lu Xingwan struggled to look in the direction of Song Qingyan and reached out for a hug.
Song Qingyan took Lu Xingwan very naturally and stuffed her into Pei Chuyan's arms.
Lu Xingwan was stunned.
[Mother, I want you to hug me. If I wanted him to hug me, I would have asked him just now. Why would I ask you?]
[I think mother is getting more and more comfortable with calling Pei Chuyan now.]
After hearing what Lu Xingwan said, Song Qingyan showed a trace of embarrassment. She had indeed done it unintentionally and just handed it over.
Pei Chuyan was a little stunned for a moment, but he took Lu Xingwan over very naturally.
Seeing the Royal Concubine coming, everyone finally had a brazen reason to come up to her.
Mrs. Xing then kowtowed to Song Qingyan and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I accidentally bumped into Princess Yong'an just now. It was really unintentional. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
[Mother, please don't be fooled by her. This was not an accidental mistake. She clearly blocked my way on purpose.]
[Humph, Pei Chuyan must have picked a fight with me because I reprimanded her just now! ]
[If I wasn't Princess Yong'an today, I don't know how she would torture me! ]
Lu Xingwan became more and more angry as she spoke. She pouting in Pei Chuyan's arms, glancing at Xing Niaoniao and her mother.
[Xing Niaoniao is not a very smart person. People always say that every wrong has its perpetrator. If she has the guts, she can go find Pei Chuyan. Why is she looking for me?]
[At such a young age, he is not a good person. At the age of six or seven, he is imitating others in talking about love. ]
Song Qingyan heard Lu Xingwan's grievances and looked back, only to see that she was pouting, which was very cute.
He reached out to hold her back.
Lu Xingwan simply turned around and hugged Pei Chuyan's neck.
[Mother, you should just take care of your business. It's not majestic enough to hold a child in your arms.]
Song Qingyan smiled, then turned around and looked at Xing Niaoniao and Mrs. Xing in front of her.
"Ms. Xing, did you mean it unintentionally?" Song Qingyan spoke again, without the friendly expression she had just now. The coldness in her tone made Xing Niaoniao so scared that she was speechless.
"To...to your Majesty, yes."
"But I clearly heard that you deliberately blocked Princess Yong'an several times."
Jin Xin turned to look at Song Qingyan in surprise. It turned out that the Queen knew.
Ever since Song Qingyan appeared just now, she stood aside and did not speak again. She still remembered what Jinyu taught her a few days ago. It was fine to do whatever she wanted in her own palace, but when she came out, she represented the face of Qingyun Palace.
Of course, we cannot let people think that there are no rules in Qingyun Palace.
Without waiting for Madam Xing and Xing Niaoniao to explain, Song Qingyan spoke up, "Today is the wedding day of Mr. Han and Miss Shen, so it is not appropriate to see blood."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xing suddenly raised her head and looked at Song Qingyan. People outside said that this royal concubine had a very gentle temperament, so why was she now calling for war and killing?
"But since Miss Xing bullied my daughter, I can't let her go."
"Mrs. Xing, ask yourself, if your daughter was bullied by others for no reason, would you easily swallow this?"
As soon as Song Qingyan said this, the ladies around her all looked at her with admiration.
"In that case, Miss Xing will be punished by having to personally provide porridge to the people outside for a month, is that okay?" Although Song Qingyan's tone was negotiating, her eyes left no room for doubt.
Xing Niaoniao almost burst into tears when she heard this.
Provide free porridge for one month.
With her petite body, how could she bear to provide free porridge for a month?
Before Xing Niaoniao could even open her mouth to refute, Madam Xing had already kowtowed to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, it is my honor."
After saying that, he dragged Xing Niaoniao out of the Han Mansion.
Since such a big thing had happened, they naturally could not stay at this banquet any longer.
After getting on the carriage, Xing Niaoniao almost cried and fainted on Madam Xing's body.
Mrs. Xing did not comfort her, but just let her cry.
Only after she had cried enough and felt her tears had dried did Xing Niaoniao sit up straight and look at Madam Xing with tears in her eyes: "Why did mother agree just now?"
Mrs. Xing's face turned cold: "It's okay for you to be arrogant on weekdays, but your father is here, and he won't let you suffer any loss."
"But you actually bullied Princess Yong'an today. Who is Princess Yong'an? Who is the Imperial Concubine? Can you and I mess with her?"
"My daughter is just...just," Xing Niaoniao also felt that she was indeed impulsive today, "I just felt that Master Pei scolded me for the little princess, and I was so angry that..."
"It's because the Imperial Concubine was kind and spared you today. If His Majesty were here, I'm afraid you would have lost your life today!" After hearing what Madam Xing said, Xing Niaoniao finally felt a little scared.
Saying that you are going to lose your life is just a scare tactic.
However, if the Royal Concubine was really angry today, it was not impossible for her to punish Niao Niao with ten or twenty strokes of the cane.
But being beaten with a stick in front of so many people would make it difficult for Niaoniao to get married in the future.
Fortunately, now we are just distributing porridge, which is a good deed that can gain some good reputation.
Although the sun is very strong now and I might get sunburned, it is nothing compared to a woman's reputation.
