"Cousin, you'd better keep your word. Otherwise, if you don't let me have a good life, I'll flip the table. Not only will I teach you a lesson, I'll also beat up your Xin'er and Miss Duan for fun. Anyway, I'm not afraid of death."
When the Second Prince heard his cousin say this, he felt even more pain. This little ancestor was truly untouchable. She still had the Queen Mother to protect her. She would probably give him a beating, and the Queen Mother would just punish her cousin by making her copy the rules for women or something.
Xin'er and Miss Duan are both authentic ladies and are no match for my cousin. The more I think about it, the more I feel that he must have lost his mind just now.
"Cousin, please don't be angry with me. I was just confused. How can my position as a concubine be worthy of such a good cousin like mine? I was just joking. Seriously, I was just joking."
As reckless as the Second Prince was just now, he will admit defeat just as quickly.
When Zhou Qiongyue heard the Second Prince say this, she strode over, put on her shoes, adjusted her hairpin, and straightened her clothes. Then she smiled softly again, "Let's go!"
The Second Prince looked at his cousin's changed expression, swallowed his saliva in fear, and asked, "Where are we going?"
"I went to the palace to apologize to the Emperor and Empress. No matter what, I shouldn't have hit the prince. If the prince humiliated me, I should have banged my head against the pillar on the spot and not caused trouble for my family."
The more serious Zhou Qiongyue's words were, the more confused the Second Prince was. How could his cousin feel wronged when he got beaten up?
But he was not stupid. This matter must not be known to his father, the emperor, and the queen, especially to his uncle and cousin, otherwise he might get beaten.
"Cousin, no ancestor, little ancestor, it's all my fault, please forgive me this time! I promise I won't do it again, really."
The second prince was almost about to swear to heaven at this time.
"I don't think my second cousin is sincere!" Zhou Qiongyue said as she acted as if she was about to leave.
"Sincerity, yes, yes." The second prince expressed his opinion while reluctantly taking out a silver note of one thousand taels from his arms and carefully placing it on the desk in front of Zhou Qiongyue.
The second prince was very distressed. He had saved up the one thousand taels for several months. He had originally planned to buy a gift for Xin'er to appease her. After all, the position of the principal wife promised to her might be lost. Although Xin'er was sensible, he was also prepared to use his private money to appease Xin'er.
Xie Zixin: I am so unlucky.
Zhou Qiongyue took the banknote and put it neatly into her sleeve, saying magnanimously, "I'm your cousin after all! Let it go this time, but if it happens again, don't blame me for going crazy."
The second prince, Li Jingchen, quickly assured, "There won't be a next time. There absolutely won't be a next time."
The second prince thought that he was not crazy, so he beat him again.
When the second prince came back from outside, he was limping, which made Marquis Cheng'en and the Crown Prince feel a little strange.
Crown Prince Zhou Wencan couldn't help but look at the Second Prince's back as he walked away, and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the Second Prince's injuries haven't healed yet? Logically, his injuries shouldn't be as severe as ours! And someone helped him block the most fatal blow."
"The prince! After all, he is different from us." Marquis Cheng'en knew what his son meant, but he didn't think much about it. Apart from the emperor and the queen, who would dare to attack the second prince!
Marquis Cheng'en never imagined that the person with such a bold heart was right next to him.
After the second prince returned to the palace, the queen immediately sent someone to ask for him. The queen was mainly worried about Miss Duan's injury, as well as the injuries of her father and eldest brother.
But when the second prince came in, the queen knew something was wrong. Although Li Jingchen tried his best to endure it, he was adding new injuries to old ones and it really hurt.
"My son, what's wrong with you?" The queen immediately walked over worriedly and wanted to check it out herself.
The second prince hid while asking everyone in the hall to leave. For a moment, only the queen, the second prince, and the fifth prince were left in the hall.
The Second Prince kept dodging until the Queen finally gave up and sat back down, asking seriously, "Tell me! Who hit him? Did the Left Prime Minister do it?"
When the Queen said this, she had already thought about how to deal with the Left Prime Minister and how to report him to the Emperor.
When the second prince saw that his mother put the blame on the left prime minister, he was ready to confess. Miss Duan was only half dead, and he couldn't let him cheat their family anymore.
The fifth prince also stared at the second prince with a fierce look, as if he wanted to vent his anger for him.
The Second Prince felt even more pain at this moment. "Mother, Fifth Brother, it was my cousin who beat him."
"Impossible!" The Queen immediately expressed her disbelief.
The Fifth Prince and the Queen were in perfect tacit understanding at this moment. "Absolutely impossible, Second Brother, you can't just take advantage of your cousin's kindness and let her take all the blame!"
The second prince was helpless, he knew it would be like this.
The Second Prince touched the spot where he was hit and said embarrassedly, "I was just confused and said some bad words, which made my cousin angry. So she hit me."
"Zi, my cousin is such a good-tempered person, but she was so angry that she started to fight. Second brother, tell me, what did you say?" At this time, the fifth prince was very curious and circled around the second prince several times.
"That's not necessary!" The second prince really didn't want to say it. He didn't have that kind of shit in his mind at the moment. He also knew that what he said was indeed a bit shameless.
"Speak!" The queen only said one word, but her attitude was one that could not be refused.
Seeing that he really couldn't escape, the Second Prince gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and whispered, "I will tell my cousin that the position of my concubine is still vacant, and ask her to be my concubine."
As soon as the Second Prince finished speaking, the Queen and the Fifth Prince were stunned. For a moment, the palace was extremely quiet.
"How's Yue'er? You didn't fight back, did you?" The queen was more worried about her niece at this time.
When the fifth prince heard his mother say this, he turned and stared at the second prince.
"No, I am not that kind of person!" The second prince almost said again and again that his cousin had not lost a single hair.
The Queen and the Fifth Prince breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Zhou Qiongyue was fine.
"Why didn't your cousin beat you to death?" The fifth prince said this, bowed to the queen, and took his leave.
The fifth prince was afraid that he would not leave, so he could not help but beat his second brother again. How shameless must he be to say such words.
"Get out!" The queen didn't want to see this brat at this moment. It was really infuriating.
Seeing that his mother would not beat him, the second prince bowed and left in one go, fearing that if he left a little later, his mother would beat him again.
The Queen watched her son's hasty escape and chuckled. She wasn't really angry. She knew her son was the one who knew him best. Chen'er liked gentleness. After Yue'er's incident, her son would definitely never have any thoughts of his own.
This was a good thing for Yue'er, and the Queen thought it was normal for children to fight with each other, so why was she angry? Seeing that Yue'er didn't hit him in the face, it was clear that the child had a sense of propriety.
Second Prince: Mother, look at what you are saying. I am being beaten, not fighting.
Queen: All the same, all the same.
