"In order to find you, your father goes looking for you every day after leaving court, fearing that something bad might happen to you."
After Prime Minister Xu finished speaking, he wanted to go up and get acquainted with Xu Jinyi.
But he was stopped by Aunt Qiu beside Xu Jinyi: "Prime Minister, today is different from the past. You should use respectful titles when addressing Her Majesty."
Prime Minister Xu's face suddenly turned purple as he looked at Xu Jinyi, who had an expressionless face.
He could only purse his lips in frustration and bowed to Xu Jinyi: "I have overstepped my bounds. I hope the Queen will forgive me."
"I naturally know that my father treats me very well, otherwise why would he marry me off to the Wu family as a concubine?"
"Fortunately, I escaped and was saved by the Emperor before I was caught."
"I have to thank my father for his kindness. If not, I would not have met the Emperor."
The audience stared with wide eyes, unable to believe what they heard.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Prime Minister Xu was full of contempt. Wu Ziqian of the Wu family had eighteen wives and concubines in total.
The queen is a legitimate daughter, yet she wants to marry her beautiful daughter off as a concubine.
This prime minister must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!
This was the first time Prime Minister Xu was so embarrassed, and it was because of his own daughter.
"Misunderstanding, Your Majesty, you misunderstood. You are my legitimate daughter, more than qualified to be my wife. How could I marry you off as a concubine?"
"It's all a misunderstanding."
Xu Jinyi looked at him coldly: "Whether it's a misunderstanding or the truth, I still have three days left and I won't continue to bother you in the mansion."
Prime Minister Xu lowered his head with a gloomy look, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
In Xu Youran's room, the maid was carefully applying medicine to her. Outside, Mrs. Wu was crying as she listened to her daughter's cries.
Prime Minister Xu, who was upset by the crying, slapped her again and said through gritted teeth, "Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry!"
"If you had known that this would happen to that girl, what would you have done? Now that girl is clearly holding a grudge against us."
"If you hadn't insisted on marrying her off as a concubine, would we be where we are today? Are you really going to destroy your true identity just for your nephew?"
Wu covered her face, unable to believe that the man next to her had hit her again.
He clearly agreed to marry that bitch Xu Jinyi as a concubine. Would she dare to do this if he didn't agree?
How could Prime Minister Xu not know what she was thinking from the way he looked at her? He was so angry that he kicked her in the stomach: "If it weren't for your stupid idea, would things have turned out like this?"
Mrs. Wu gasped in pain, curled up on the ground, holding her stomach, with a gloomy look in her eyes.
But now that things are like this, they shouldn't start a civil war, otherwise that little bitch will succeed.
Wu cried and said, "It's all my fault. What should we do now, my Lord? She is the Queen now. What if she turns against us?"
Prime Minister Xu glared at her and left with a flick of his sleeves.
After taking the medicine, Xu Youran lay on the bed, the strong hatred in her eyes seemed to be about to overflow.
"Mom, I want her to die, I want her to die!"
Xu Youran gritted her teeth and gripped the pillow, her fingertips turning white from pinching.
As soon as he moved, the wound on his back was affected, and the pain was so severe that he almost fainted again.
It is already a cold winter, and even if you don’t have any injuries on your body, your hands will sometimes crack due to the cold.
Even the slightest injury will magnify the pain several times.
Not to mention the pain of the flesh bursting.
She will definitely take revenge for this.
must!
"Of course, don't worry, don't worry. Maybe your aunt has a way. That bitch won't have an easy life after entering the palace. Your aunt will definitely not let her go."
Xu Youran also remembered her aunt's ruthless methods: "Mom, go to the palace and see what my aunt is planning."
"We must not let that bitch gain a foothold in this position, otherwise there will be no chance for us to succeed."
"Don't worry, she took your aunt's position, and your aunt won't let her go."
——
In the imperial concubine's palace.
Concubine Wu sat at the front, and below her were more than twenty concubines who came to pay their respects. Everyone had different expressions today.
Some had frowns on their faces, some were gloating, and some were just watching the show.
The only thing in common was that everyone was staring at the imperial concubine's face.
Everyone knows that in the past few years, the imperial concubine has become the king of the mountain in the harem with no regard for others.
Now a queen suddenly appeared and weighed on her head. No one could accept it.
The imperial concubine glanced at the people in the palace and spoke in a grave tone, "Why do some sisters seem to be missing today? Are they all so weak that they've fallen ill?"
Since the beginning of winter, there are always one or two concubines absent from the daily greetings.
Either you catch a cold, or have a fever, or you have a stomachache due to period.
But today, half of the people in the huge palace are missing.
"In reply to the Imperial Concubine, the sisters who did not come have all sent people to report illness." One of them stood up.
The imperial concubine's eyes flashed, and she slammed her beautiful hands on the table: "How outrageous! Are there any rules in this harem? Everyone is not taking me seriously."
"It's cold, and I've postponed the time for your greetings, but you've been so kind as to come up with so many excuses and make excuses."
"Akui, take note of all the concubines who are not here today. Each of them will be punished by copying a Buddhist scripture and kneeling at the palace gate for an hour."
The concubines present took a deep breath and were glad that they did not join in the commotion and did not come to pay their respects.
In such cold weather, my hands are not flexible enough. How can I finish copying such a thick Buddhist scripture in one day?
Not to mention having to kneel in the snow for an hour, his legs would probably be in trouble.
This imperial concubine was clearly taking her anger out on others.
When someone took away her position as queen, she took her anger out on them.
The maid A Kui is the imperial concubine's right-hand man, and she often relies on the imperial concubine's power to bully others.
As for the concubines whose wives wanted to punish him, he immediately took people with a smile and carried out the punishment one by one.
All the punished concubines gathered outside the palace and knelt down, snow falling on their bodies, and more than twenty of them were shivering with cold.
If the masters are punished, their maids will also be punished.
At a glance, there were people kneeling down.
"Miss Akui, my young mistress is really having her period today. The pain is unbearable and she hasn't slept all night. Could you please ask the Imperial Concubine for some mercy?"
One of the maids spoke while supporting Concubine Wan, who was about to fall down.
Seeing this, someone also spoke up: "My young lady had a high fever last night, and the imperial physician came to knock on the door, and there are records. It's not that he deliberately didn't come to pay his respects."
"My young master is the same. Ten days ago, she accidentally fell into an icy lake. She has caught a cold and is still coughing."
Ah Kui looked at the group with disdain, and raised her head proudly: "The Imperial Concubine is usually so kind to you, and she even postponed the time of paying respects to you until almost noon, and you are so good, giving so many excuses."
