Chapter 126 Punishing Evil and Promoting Good
As everyone knows, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not good at studying and is a person who likes to be extravagant and debauched. He does not have a very good reputation outside.
In the past, people didn't dare to discuss the prince, but now that he has gradually fallen out of favor in the past two years, everyone obviously thinks that the emperor is going to give up this crown prince, so they dare to discuss it in private. As for what they are discussing, the Crown Princess has heard it a few times, but she has never gone up to explain.
Now, the prince spent all day in the backyard of the mansion, hanging out with beauties. He almost got syphilis last month. She didn't care about the prince. The third prince had already promised her that if the prince was deposed and he ascended the throne in the future, he would change his identity and take him into the harem.
But now, Xu Qingyan spoke so loudly that many eyes around immediately fell on the Crown Princess, especially the women's eyes were full of curiosity.
Because they had seen the Crown Princess pretend not to hear someone talking bad about the Crown Prince. Now, the Crown Princess was arguing with Xu Qingyan over the Third Prince's matter, and they all felt it was a bit strange.
At this moment, the Crown Princess felt her face burning, and she blushed and cursed, "I... I just think you are a bit of a bad luck star, and whoever comes into contact with you will be unlucky. I am not questioning the Emperor's decision at all, so don't talk nonsense here!"
"Really? Then why did you come to find me? Aren't you afraid of bad luck, Princess?" Xu Qingyan said with a joking smile.
"What's going on?" At this moment, a gentle female voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Xu Qingyan and the others looked in the direction of the voice and saw a dignified woman in a green brocade dress with a faint smile on her face. There were two maids in front of her, slowly walking towards them.
"Sixth Prince's Concubine, you've come at the right time. They are bullying me here." Before Xu Qingyan could say anything, the Crown Princess complained first, looking like she was acting coquettishly towards the Sixth Prince's Concubine.
Pei Jinyu was a little angry, and immediately said unconvinced: "Sixth Prince's Consort, it was the Crown Princess who came to trouble us first, saying that we shouldn't have discovered the secret of the secret room in the Third Prince's Mansion and told it out, saying that we harmed the Third Prince."
"Really? Crown Princess, you are wrong. The Third Prince's wife did such a vicious thing, and the Crown Prince's wife and others were only trying to punish the evil and promote the good, and saved many innocent women. If you want to blame someone, you should blame the Third Prince's wife. It was she who implicated the Third Prince. How can you blame the Crown Prince's wife and others? Aren't you questioning your father?" The Sixth Prince's wife was a little surprised when she heard this, and then she said to the Crown Princess with a reproachful tone.
The Crown Princess looked at the Sixth Prince's Consort with some surprise and said, "Sixth Prince's Consort, you...how can you speak for outsiders?"
She was the Crown Princess, and she and the Sixth Prince's wife were both royal daughters-in-law. They could at least be considered a family! Besides, she had never had any conflicts with her, and their relationship was quite harmonious. Under such circumstances, the Sixth Prince's wife actually didn't protect her? This was something the Crown Princess had not expected.
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince's wife looked very fair and said in surprise: "The Crown Princess, the Heir Princess and the others are guests of our house today just like you. How can they be outsiders? I am only standing on the side of justice and not relatives. No matter who you say this to today, I will teach you a lesson. Well, the banquet is about to begin. Please go over there. Thank you!" As she said that, she asked the maid behind her to take the Crown Princess away.
The Sixth Prince's wife looked at Xu Qingyan and the others with an apologetic look on her face, and said, "I'm sorry! Crown Prince's wife, I didn't entertain you well and made you feel wronged. Come, follow me to the seat over there. The Duke's wife is chatting with my mother and the others there! I'll take you there."
Pei Jinyu was a little surprised by the Sixth Prince's wife's attitude, but she was more delighted. They followed behind the Sixth Prince's wife, and she couldn't help but whispered to Xu's ear: "Sister-in-law, this Sixth Prince's wife is quite nice, much better than the Third Prince's wife."
Hearing this, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but sigh in her heart: [Good? She is a hypocrite! She is much more hypocritical than the Third Prince's Concubine! The Third Prince's Concubine has bad words written on her face, but this one hides it deeply! Why does the Sixth Prince have several concubines in the backyard, but he still hasn't given birth to a son? It's all because of her! She has aborted so many concubines' children without telling the Sixth Prince! The Sixth Prince has taken a fancy to the daughter of a fifth-rank official and wants to take her as a concubine, but the Sixth Prince's Concubine finds that the woman is beautiful and is afraid that it will affect her status, so she arranges for the beggar to ruin her innocence! The Sixth Prince's Concubine's mind is extremely vicious. We still have to keep our distance. When I go back, I have to remind Jin Yu. ]
Pei Jinyu was shocked when he heard this, and thought: Is the Sixth Prince's wife really so vicious?
At this time, the Sixth Prince's wife was standing not far in front, so Xu Qingyan didn't say anything. She just said something else to Pei Jinyu, "I seem to have seen my mother."
Pei Jinyu lowered her head to hide the horror in her eyes, and silently kept some distance from the Sixth Prince's wife, thinking: Sister-in-law, you don't need to remind me again when we go back, I have already started to keep my distance.
After walking to the side of the Duchess's wife, she quietly asked them about what had just happened. Only after learning that they were fine did she feel relieved.
Today, Concubine Ru's mind was not on them, so she just responded indifferently to their greetings.
After the banquet began, Concubine Ru deliberately called a group of unmarried women of appropriate age to stand by, and asked someone to call King Qin and others over as well.
"Prince Qin, your mother was on good terms with me when she was alive, and I always treated you as my own son. This year, you are sixteen years old, right? You see, your sixth brother had already had his first daughter when he was your age." Concubine Ru looked at the King of Qin with a meaningful smile.
The King of Qin stood there respectfully, his thin lips tightly pursed, his expression could not be seen. In response to Concubine Ru's words, he just replied coldly: "Yes!"
Seeing that he was pretending not to understand, Concubine Ru laughed awkwardly and continued, "Today, taking advantage of your sixth brother's birthday, so many noble ladies have come. I will take charge and call some unmarried women of marriageable age. I will have someone introduce them to you one by one. See if you like any of them."
As soon as Concubine Ru finished speaking, the group of women standing nearby couldn't help but blush and looked towards the King of Qin shyly.
Suddenly, Pei Jinyu's heart skipped a beat. What her sister-in-law said was true. This Concubine Ru really wanted to get married to the King of Qin! Would the King of Qin agree? So, Pei Jinyu subconsciously looked towards the King of Qin.
The King of Qin lowered his eyes to hide the complex light in them and did not express his opinion for the time being.
Imperial Concubine Ru signaled the maids around her to let the noble ladies come forward one by one to greet the King of Qin. These were all young ladies with different postures, but they were undoubtedly all good-looking. The other men beside her couldn't help but envy the King of Qin.
