Chapter 501: Degraded to a Beauty

Xingxing and Yang Ruyuan ended up parting ways on bad terms.

Princess Qing'an solemnly assured Xingxing: "Yang Ruyuan is my guest. Don't worry, I will give you an explanation for what she did."

Xing Xing said, "Don't worry, Princess. This is between me and Miss Yang. I will take care of it."

Princess Qing'an didn't listen, but made up her mind.

The next day, Huya stayed with Daxi Sipo to continue the scar removal, while Xingxing returned to the Zhenxi General's Mansion.

Xingxing went to find Old Lady Liu and told her about how Yang Ruyuan had asked the guards to pretend to be thieves and bandits in order to bully them.

"Grandpa, a lady told me that the Yang family's status in the civil service camp may affect my third brother's future." Xingxing frowned and said, "I don't think it should be like this."

When Old Lady Liu heard this, she was so angry that she blew her beard and glared: "You are right! If Yang Jujing dares to grab Liu Ge'er's neck because of his daughter's trivial matter, then all his years of studying sage books will be in vain!"

Old lady Liu gave a loud scolding!

Only now did Xingxing realize that the Minister of Rites Yang Jujing was actually a student of Old Lady Liu.

"Wait, I'm going to write a letter to scold him!" said Old Lady Liu angrily.

However, before Old Lady Liu finished writing the letter, something happened in the palace.

Yang Ruyuan's elder sister, Empress Wanyi, who was pregnant with her prince fetus, was punished with house arrest because she offended Concubine Rougui.

It shouldn't be a big deal.

Yang Wanyi was pregnant with her dragon fetus, and she would probably be released from house arrest in a few days - at this time, the Yang family was still very calm and not panicking.

However, at this time, news reached the palace that Yang Ruyuan had his guards disguised as thieves in an attempt to kidnap Boksu Hyang-gun.

Emperor Jiazheng and Empress Nie were furious.

Empress Nie immediately gave an oral instruction to the Yang family, asking them to teach their daughter well.

That was the title of Xiangjun that she and Emperor Jiazheng personally conferred upon him! Yang Ruyuan was so reckless and disregarded the rules of the royal family, and directly accused Yang Jujing of not being a good parent!

On the day when the Empress Nie's oral order was received, everyone in the Yang family was in a panic.

This was the first time in Yang Ruyuan's life that she was slapped in the face by her father.

Mother Yang hugged her daughter and cried.

The eldest daughter was confined to her house because she was pregnant with a dragon fetus, and the youngest daughter was reprimanded by the Empress for a trivial matter. I wonder if there will be any good family who dares to marry her in the future!

At this moment, Yang's mother is resentful towards that Fusui Xiangjun!

Yang Jujing was so angry that he scolded her: "A loving mother often spoils her children! Why don't you think about this: if it wasn't your daughter who did such a vicious thing first, how could she have received the order from the Empress?!"

Mother Yang could only hug her daughter and cry loudly: "My poor child!"

Yang Jujing's head was buzzing and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

Yang Wanyi, who was under house arrest in the palace, heard about her sister's situation and immediately took off her hairpins and rings in plain clothes to apologize. Because she was still under house arrest, she knelt at the door of her own palace, looking very pitiful.

After hearing this, Concubine Rou Gui played with the pearl hairpin in her hand and sneered lazily: "I heard all about Yang Wanyi's abacus beads in Fengjiang Palace."

Yang Wanyi violated the palace rules and offended her, but she did not defend herself, but admitted her mistake; but at this moment, she knelt at the palace gate to apologize for her sister's mistake, and became a good sister who cared for her sister.

Yang Wanyi knew that Emperor Jiazheng liked a harmonious family, and she bet that Emperor Jiazheng would most likely spare her and her sisters this time for the sake of the royal heir in her belly.

It's a pity that this idiot probably hasn't understood how much Emperor Jiazheng and Empress Nie valued the Prince of Fusui.

Concubine Rou smiled sarcastically, called for a sedan chair, and went to the gate of Yang Wanyi's palace to watch the hustle and bustle for a while, which made her happy that evening and she ate an extra bowl of rice.

There were also people who spoke up for Yang Wanyi. Li Xiurong, who had a princess in the palace, took the princess to sit for a while in Empress Nie's Zhaoyang Palace.

Li Xiurong saw Queen Nie holding the little princess's hand and asked her what she had learned recently.

The little princess answered all the questions one by one, and Queen Nie seemed to be in a good mood.

Li Xiurong then spoke cautiously: "…Madam, when I came here, I saw Sister Wanyi still kneeling there, her body swaying, looking so pitiful."

Queen Nie paused for a moment, and her smile faded a little: "Alright, I understand."

She looked at the obedient little princess sitting beside her and suddenly said, "Li Xiurong, if one day someone sees that Mingyi is unhappy and is going to have someone tie Mingyi up to teach her a lesson, what will you do?"

Li Xiurong's expression changed. She probably understood what Queen Nie meant, but she just nodded a few times and didn't say anything concrete.

How could Queen Nie not understand Li Xiurong's silence.

Li Xiurong must have thought that her Ming Yi was a member of a royal family and had guards of honor to protect him whenever he went out, so it was unlikely that he would encounter such a thing.

I can't empathize with him at all.

If Mingyi was just a little girl from an ordinary family, what kind of disaster would she have suffered?

Li Xiurong finally said hesitantly: "I was just thinking that no matter what mistakes Wanyi's family made, she is still pregnant with an heir..."

Queen Nie smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She only said coldly: "Yes, Li Xiurong reminded you that Yang Wanyi is pregnant with the heir, and it is really wrong for her to act so recklessly. As the head of the six palaces, I have to teach her some rules."

Li Xiurong was really speechless this time.

She just thought that Yang Wanyi was pregnant with a golden ticket to immunity from death, so she brought the little princess here to speak well of Yang Wanyi and to do her a good job, which was an investment without any risk.

But she never thought that she would end up making things worse!

Soon, Empress Nie issued an imperial decree, saying that Yang Wanyi was pregnant with a prince, but she was still acting recklessly and was not worthy of her position.

Empress Nie decisively demoted Yang Wanyi from one of the nine concubines to a beauty!

If it weren't for the fact that Empress Nie had always disliked the practice of higher-ranking concubines raising children for lower-ranking concubines in the palace, this beauty wouldn't even be qualified to raise her own children!

At this moment, Yang Wanyi, no, Yang Meiren, was completely panicked.

She had been under the care of the imperial physician ever since she became pregnant, and she was in very good health. When she received the imperial decree, she was so shocked that she almost fainted.

When Emperor Jiazheng learned about this, he just smiled and said that the Empress always knew her limits.

When the news reached the palace, Concubine Yang did not faint, but her mother did.

Her father almost fainted.

It was not that they cared about Wanyi's demotion from a beauty, but from this demotion, the Yang family saw the resolute attitude of Emperor Jiazheng and Empress Nie towards this matter.

The conclusion is, that Fukusui Xiangjun cannot be touched at all!

Yang Ruyuan was a little panicked, but she was still reluctant to bow down and apologize to Fusui Xiangjun.

The Minister of Rites hit Yang Ruyuan for the first time.
