Chapter 634: I Just Feel Sorry for the Princess

After Hao Fu's wife made many arrangements, Hao Fu and Yang Xiangdie were finally released by the government after being detained for a few days.

Yang Xiangdie was Hao Fu's concubine, and Hao Fu's wife hated her so much that she went up to her and slapped Yang Xiangdie's face several times.

Hao Fu was in a very bad mood at the moment, and was full of resentment towards Yang Xiangdie. He felt that Yang Xiangdie had offended someone who should not be offended, which led to this trouble.

Hao Fu didn't even look at the crying Yang Xiangdie, and walked away with a wave of his sleeves.

Mrs. Hao Fu did not follow him immediately. She snorted coldly and looked at Yang Xiangdie with contempt: "I don't know what kind of filthy place this bastard crawled out of. She rushed to be someone's mistress in such a shameful way, and she even had the nerve to bring her little bastard to other people's homes to cause trouble! Bah!"

Yang Xiangdie's expression changed again: "... Yingying, where is my Yingying!?"

Mrs. Hao Fu thought of something and narrowed her eyes: "You, the little bastard born from a concubine, are in the house of the Earl of Qishan! Be sensible and take the little bastard away quickly, otherwise..."

Mrs. Haofu sneered grimly.

Yang Xiangdie gritted her teeth and didn't care about anything else for the moment. She stumbled back to the small house that Hao Fu bought for her, planning to wash up first and then go to pick up Hao Yingying.

As a result, before I even entered the house, I found that the door of the exquisite two-story house had been smashed and was crooked.

The inside of the house was in a complete mess.

All the servants who had been in the house had also left.

All her jewelry was gone, and her clothes were cut clean.

Yang Xiangdie's legs went limp and she sat paralyzed on the ground, bursting into tears.

…

Xingxing has been quite busy these days.

Empress Nie was overly tired from preparing for Emperor Jiazheng's birthday celebration and was not feeling well. Emperor Jiazheng was quite worried and called Xingxing to Zhaoyang Palace to accompany Empress Nie every few days.

Empress Nie felt sorry for Xingxing running back and forth every day, but Emperor Jiazheng was very concerned about Empress Nie's health and insisted that Xingxing stay by her side. Empress Nie then had the side hall cleaned up and let Xingxing live there.

Queen Nie was the mother of a country and the mother of all the princes and princesses in the palace. When Queen Nie fell ill, not to mention the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince all came to take care of her. Even Concubine Rougui came over holding the Seventh Prince in her arms for a walk.

Several princesses were brought by their respective mothers to Queen Nie's bedside to perform acts of filial piety.

Queen Nie was fine at first. She sat leaning on the big pillow, chatting with people, and seemed to be in good spirits.

But people came more and more frequently, and Xingxing couldn't stand it anymore.

When the two little princesses were playing and fighting in front of Queen Nie's bed, Xing Xing advised them, "The Queen's illness should be treated with rest."

Li Xiurong wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "My Lord, the Empress hasn't said anything yet. Aren't you overstepping your authority? The Empress has always loved princesses. Princesses are innocent and lively. She is also worried that the Empress will be bored during her illness. Her filial piety has fallen into the hands of my Lord."

After that, Li Xiurong said to Princess Mingyi in a joking tone: "Mingyi, ask the Queen if she dislikes your noise?"

The mother of the other little princess, Lady Qing, lowered her head and said nothing.

Empress Nie looked indifferent, smiling as she looked at Li Xiurong: "Your Majesty specially invited Xiangjun to help me with my medical treatment. Disrespecting Xiangjun is a disrespect to Your Majesty. Li Xiurong, do you have any opinion about Your Majesty?"

Li Xiurong's face turned pale. She didn't expect that Queen Nie would support Lord Fusui in this way.

She was a flexible person, and she immediately forced out a smile: "Don't blame me, Your Majesty, I just feel sorry for the princess..."

Queen Nie said calmly, "Yes, Mingyi has you as her mother who loves her. Fusui Xiangjun is not much older than Mingyi, and she came to the palace alone to help me with my medical treatment, but she was still ridiculed by you. If I don't make the decision for her, who will love her?"

Li Xiurong's face turned pale, and he quickly stood up from the chair and knelt down: "My Queen..."

Princess Mingyi and another princess Mingqiong were so frightened that they dared not say a word.

Queen Nie had a hint of anger on her face. "Li Xiurong, I said a few words to you and you deliberately knelt in front of Mingyi. What's the matter? Are you trying to put me in a position of power? Have I ever told you that in front of the princes and princesses, you mothers must be cautious in every move you make?"

As she spoke, Queen Nie began to cough violently out of anger.

Xing Xing hurried forward and helped pat Queen Nie's back gently.

Emperor Jiazheng happened to be in Zhaoyang Palace. When he heard Empress Nie coughing, he hurried in and asked, "Empress! What happened?"

Queen Nie waved her hands and slowed down for a moment, her face showing a bit of fatigue: "It's okay."

Although Queen Nie said it was okay, Li Xiurong was still kneeling on the ground at this moment.

Emperor Jiazheng's face looked gloomy as if he was going to kill someone.

Li Xiurong was so scared that she knelt on the ground and trembled.

The two younger ones, Mingyi and Mingqiong, were so frightened that they dared not utter a word.

Emperor Jiazheng looked around and pointed at a maid in the palace: "Tell me! What happened?"

The nanny looked at the man's nose and heart, and recounted in a serious manner what had just happened.

It starts from Xingxing's first words and goes all the way to the conversation between Queen Nie and Li Xiurong.

After Emperor Jiazheng finished speaking, he fixed Li Xiurong with a cold gaze.

Li Xiurong was trembling all over.

"Li Xiurong offended the empress and was demoted to a beauty." Emperor Jiazheng said coldly, "You should reflect on your mistakes in your own palace these days. Mingyi will be taught by Beauty Qing for the time being."

Concubine Li never thought that just because she said a few extra words, she was directly demoted from a beauty to a beauty by Emperor Jiazheng. What scared her the most was that Ming Yi was assigned to someone else by Emperor Jiazheng!

Concubine Li crawled over on her knees, crying like a wolf, and grabbed the dragon robe of Emperor Jiazheng: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, you can punish me in any way you want, Mingyi is my life, please don't take Mingyi away!"

Ming Yi also knelt down and cried along with Concubine Li, calling for his father.

Empress Nie couldn't bear to watch this. In fact, she just wanted to criticize Concubine Li a few words, but she didn't expect that Emperor Jiazheng happened to come over and saw it.

Emperor Jiazheng was indeed a little too nervous about her illness.

"Your Majesty," Empress Nie said with a frown, "You can demote Lady Li. Mingyi is grown up and feels sorry for her mother. Why should the child suffer when the mother and daughter are separated?"

Concubine Li's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked gratefully at Empress Nie who spoke for her.

Emperor Jiazheng could not bear to offend Empress Nie, and reprimanded Concubine Li with a cold face: "Since the Empress is speaking for you, then Mingyi should stay in your palace! As a mother, you must always be careful in your words and deeds, restrain yourself and be polite!"
