The first person to learn the news was King Qi.
"The seventh brother is willful. I didn't expect that his wife is also willful." In front of his confidant, King Qi was less cautious and said with a smile.
The staff echoed: "The Princess of Yan is naturally not as virtuous and decent as our Princess."
The King of Qi did not show it on his face, but he felt disgusted in his heart.
It is forgivable that a beautiful woman is a little willful. His wife is plain-looking, so she must have some other advantages. And how many women don't have the advantage of being virtuous and decent?
These thoughts flashed through the mind of the King of Qi, but he said, "Sir, you are right. It is my fortune to have such a wife."
The staff were excited and praised King Qi several times.
The prince does not value beauty, so he must be very lucky. And since he can follow such a master, his future will naturally rise...
King Qi was accustomed to hearing such compliments, so he smiled faintly and spoke a few humble words.
The staff member's eyes flashed, and he said, "My Lord, the Princess of Yan is so rude, do you think you should--"
The King of Qi stroked the jade ring on his thumb and shook his head: "The King of Yan and I are brothers from the same mother. The King of Yan and his wife are ignorant. I will find an opportunity to remind them privately. There is no need to make a big fuss."
The staff hurriedly complimented him, "Your Majesty is truly kind-hearted..."
"Thank you, sir."
After the staff left, the small study suddenly became deserted, leaving only Prince Qi to sit quietly for a while, then stand up from the low couch and walk to the window.
When I opened the window, I saw the late autumn scenery, bleak and cold.
King Qi curled his lips and smiled.
There is no need for him to take action to deal with the seventh brother, as his brothers will do it for him.
For example, the impatient fifth brother, the sixth brother who was always outdone by the seventh brother and his wife because of their similar wedding dates, and the stupid prince...
When Lao Qi falls into a situation where everyone wants him to be punished, he will come forward to help him. Why should he worry that Lao Qi will not be grateful and work for him from then on?
As King Qi thought about this, his smile deepened.
In Prince Lu's mansion, Prince Lu was very excited after hearing the news. He slammed the table and said, "That's great. Old Seven will finally get into trouble this time!"
"What's going on?" Princess Lu heard this as she stepped over the threshold.
Prince Lu frowned: "Why did you come into my study without knocking?"
This tigress is becoming more and more unruly.
Princess Lu glanced at the staff in the study, politely asked them to leave, and then said lightly: "Surprise inspection."
Upon hearing this, Prince Lu's face immediately darkened and he rolled up his sleeves to have a good talk about life.
It's really unbearable to live with such a daughter-in-law. It would be fine if he kept a close eye on her at ordinary times, but he just touched the little maid secretly in the small study room, and this evil woman kicked the door open with a kitchen knife.
From then on, the fragrant little maid was replaced by an old man with wrinkles all over his face, and he wouldn't even let him order a handsome boy around.
Thinking of this, King Lu gritted his teeth in anger and said with a dark face: "Don't go too far!"
Princess Lu silently took out a kitchen knife from her bosom, held it in her hand, and asked with a smile: "Did the prince say I was too much?"
King Lu jumped up and his arrogance disappeared immediately: "Just talk, why do you have to pick up a kitchen knife?"
This woman really dared to chase him with a kitchen knife. It would be such a disgrace if the news got out.
Princess Lu put away the kitchen knife and asked, "Who did your Highness just say was going to be unlucky?"
"I'm talking about the seventh brother." Prince Lu told Princess Lu the news he had heard.
Princess Lu murmured, "Princess Yan really has a strong personality."
King Lu sneered, "That bastard, Old Seven, has always been against me, and now it's finally his turn to suffer!"
"What does your Highness want to do?" Princess Lu asked vigilantly.
"Of course, we should find a censor to impeach the Seventh Prince and his wife." Prince Lu was ready to fight. He could already imagine the miserable look on Prince Yan's face after being impeached by the censor.
Princess Lu glared at Prince Lu and said, "Your Highness, we should stay out of this kind of thing."
King Lu glared back in dissatisfaction.
Princess Lu softened her tone for once: "Even if the Prince of Yan and his wife are unlucky, it won't benefit us at all. Why would Your Majesty do something that would hurt others and not benefit yourself?"
"Who said there are no benefits? I am happy to see Old Seven suffer."
"Anyway, Your Majesty, please don't mix this up. Who knows, Princess Yan might have some hidden agenda behind her actions."
"What inside story could there be? It's just that he has become so successful that he doesn't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is." Prince Lu disagreed with what the Princess Lu said.
Princess Lu silently took out a kitchen knife.
Staring at the shiny kitchen knife, Prince Lu was silent for a moment, then stood up impatiently: "Forget it, women are always nosy!"
He pushed the door open angrily and went out, then turned back: "This is my study!"
Princess Lu put the kitchen knife in her pocket and stood up, smiling and saying, "I'll go back to my room now. Your Majesty, remember to come over for dinner."
As soon as Princess Lu left, Prince Lu kicked the stool several times before he calmed down.
Forget it, Lao Qi is lucky this time. I will deal with him someday.
When the King of Shu heard the news, he felt relieved.
Ever since the marriage proposal last year, I have been outshined by the Seventh Brother in every way because the wedding date is only a month away. Now the chance to vent my anger has finally come.
"Wait and see if anyone else makes any moves. If they do, help them out. Be careful not to let anyone target us."
After giving the order, the King of Shu began to look forward to what was about to happen.
In the East Palace, the prince wanted to laugh out loud.
Finally got the handle on Old Seven!
Ever since Lao Qi returned to the capital, he always got scolded every time he caused trouble. He has been holding this grudge for a long time.
Damn you, Old Seven, let’s see how you can escape punishment this time.
"Find the censors to severely impeach the Prince of Yan and his wife!"
Soon, memorials impeaching the Prince of Yan and his wife flew onto the imperial case like snowflakes. The next day, several censors came out to denounce the Princess of Yan for undermining the dignity of the royal family, and then impeached the Prince of Yan for being too indulgent and lenient with the Princess of Yan.
Emperor Jingming listened expressionlessly, feeling very unhappy.
These old guys could have just impeached the seventh prince's wife for not knowing the rules, but why are they talking about the Prince of Yan being indulging in beauty?
Is this what being obsessed with beauty is used for?
Keeping concubines and sleeping with prostitutes is called indulging in beauty, but how can loving one's own wife be called indulging in beauty? It is obviously called harmony between husband and wife.
Emperor Jingming silently retorted in his heart, then turned his eyes to Yu Jin who was kneeling beside him.
According to the rules, anyone who is impeached, regardless of status or guilt or not, needs to kneel down to be questioned.
This is the prevailing argument at this time: If you are doing everything right, why would others impeach you? Since you are impeached, it must be that you have done something wrong. Even if there is nothing wrong, then you should correct it if there is, and try to improve if there is nothing wrong. In short, you should kneel down first.
Yu Jin thought that Jiang Si would be impeached for not going to mourn Youshi, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people impeaching him. His knees were almost swollen from kneeling.
As a result, he could no longer maintain a good expression and felt extremely cold.
The ministers standing near Yu Jin silently moved aside.
The King of Yan even dares to attack his own brothers, so it is safer for them to stay away.
When Emperor Jingming saw Yu Jin's gloomy face, he became angry: "Seventh Brother, do you admit your guilt?"
