Chapter 184 Twins
When Qin Jinzhi went to court, memorials impeaching the Thousand Birds Bureau were as numerous as fish crossing a river.
For the first time, His Majesty reprimanded Qin Jinzhi in the main hall.
Confined to one's home for seven days.
The officials who were passionately recounting Chidori's crimes were all silenced by His Majesty's serious expression.
It wasn't until after the court session that everyone realized what had happened.
After so many impeachments, His Majesty finally confined Qin Jinzhi for seven days.
Qin Jinzhi lay leisurely in the Jiaofang Palace.
If these adults knew that she was being confined in the Empress's palace...
I'm afraid I'll be so angry that I won't be able to eat for three days.
Upon hearing that the princess was confined to the palace, Fei Yan disregarded Yun Jin.
He immediately packed his small bag and returned to the palace.
In the evening, Qin Jinzhi led the palace maids and eunuchs in playing Cuju (ancient Chinese football).
One of them kicked the football out of the door with force.
She stood inside the door, waiting for the palace maids to pick it up.
After all, we're under lockdown, so we can't go out.
But we didn't hear the little palace maid return.
A small head suddenly popped out from the doorway.
Soon, another little head was stacked on top of the first.
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "Whose child is this?"
Feiyan tilted her head and looked out, "These are the little prince and the little princess!"
Qin Jinzhi blinked. "Fang, Fang Mei's twins?"
Feiyan nodded. "She's no longer Consort Fang, she's now Imperial Concubine Fang."
Two little heads walked out of the door, hand in hand.
She wasn't afraid at all, and just looked at Qin Jinzhi with bright, sparkling eyes.
Qin Jinzhi raised her chin, "Go find Consort Fang's people. The prince and princess have disappeared and nobody's looking for them?"
Feiyan immediately sent someone to find Consort Fang.
Qin Jinzhi looked at the two little devils and said, "Come in."
The two of them only stepped inside after hearing Qin Jinzhi's words.
Despite his young age, he knows how to behave appropriately.
Qin Jinzhi sat down at a nearby table and asked, "Where is the nanny who takes care of you?"
The two little heads shook their heads.
Qin Jinzhi frowned. "Who brought you here?"
The two little heads shook their heads again.
Qin Jinzhi crossed her legs, looking somewhat helpless. "Hungry?"
The two little heads blinked and nodded.
"Give them two pieces of sweet cake."
Feiyan brought out the sweet cakes from the small kitchen.
Two little heads looked at Qin Jinzhi.
Qin Jinzhi chuckled lightly, "You guys know how to read the room. Eat up."
The two little people immediately laughed and each took a piece of sugar cake.
Then they stood on either side of Qin Jinzhi like little doormen.
Holding a sugar cake in one hand and pulling on Qin Jinzhi's clothes with the other.
Qin Jinzhi pinched the little princess's cheek, "Can't you talk?"
Feiyan was also shocked. "Princess, you've seen them? Why are they so attached to you?"
Qin Jinzhi shrugged. "Maybe my face appeals to all ages."
Feiyan squatted to the side, but the two little people didn't even glance at her.
She focused on eating her sweet cakes, and if anyone got close, she would stick them to Qin Jinzhi.
"Jingyao, Jingyi!"
When Consort Fang rushed over, she saw Qin Jinzhi sitting in the middle of the courtyard.
Her two children were nestled on either side of her.
Qin Jinzhi looked up at her with a somewhat cold expression, "The prince and princess have been missing for so long, what are the people in your palace doing?"
Upon hearing Qin Jinzhi's words, the people in Consort Fang's palace immediately knelt down.
Their rank was not high, so they didn't have many opportunities to see this young princess.
But everyone in the palace knew how formidable this little devil was.
Qin Jinzhi's tone turned slightly cold, and the palace servants trembled.
Consort Fang then recalled that she had witnessed Qin Jinzhi kill a palace concubine a few years ago.
He immediately collapsed to the ground.
Qin Jinzhi's expression was somewhat displeased. "You are now a concubine, how can you still be so reckless?"
At this moment, the little princess suddenly spoke up, "Fairy sister, don't be angry. My mother is just a little timid."
Qin Jinzhi suddenly burst out laughing as she looked at the two men who still hadn't let go of her clothes.
"Did Consort Fang send you to find me?"
The little princess shook her head. "We came of our own volition."
The young prince nodded in agreement.
Qin Jinzhi pulled the two of them in front of her. "Then why did you want to come find me?"
The little princess pointed to the whip at Qin Jinzhi's waist.
"Grandma said that only the most powerful person can protect us."
The young prince then pointed at Consort Fang, "When someone bullies us, Mother always cries."
Qin Jinzhi raised one eyebrow and paused for a moment.
Then he started laughing.
Consort Fang was so frightened by Qin Jinzhi's laughter that she almost fainted!
Qin Jinzhi stood up and came to Consort Fang. "I've always heard that things will turn around when they reach their extremes, and now it seems that it's true."
These two little devils have come looking for a powerful backer.
Qin Jinzhi glanced at the palace servants kneeling on the ground.
Then he looked down at the little princess and asked, "Which nanny told you that?"
The little princess pointed to an old nanny kneeling at the very front.
Qin Jinzhi's voice rang out above her head, "You certainly know how to come up with ideas."
The old woman's gaze fell on Qin Jinzhi's gold-embroidered boots, her eyes filled with a sense of resignation.
"Please, Princess, grant me your protection."
Qin Jinzhi returned to her chair.
"Someone, help Consort Fang up."
The two little figures stuck to Qin Jinzhi like little shadows.
Qin Jinzhi was also somewhat helpless, "Bring two chairs for the two of them."
She leaned against the table and said to the old woman, "Tell me, what happened?"
No sooner had Qin Jinzhi been placed under house arrest than people came looking for her.
They had their eye on her from the very beginning.
The old woman knelt on the ground and said, "Her Highness the Consort Xian wishes to take the little princess and the little prince back to her palace to raise them."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "Why would she need your child when she already has her own children?"
Upon hearing this, Consort Fang burst into tears.
Qin Jinzhi frowned. "If you cry again, I'll send them to Consort Xian right now."
Consort Fang covered her mouth tightly and began to sob.
The nanny quickly explained, "The Consort Xian consulted a fortune teller who predicted that the Sixth Prince possesses the potential for twins to soar to great heights. Therefore, she intends to register the younger prince and princess under her own name, using their fortunes to nourish the Sixth Prince's."
Qin Jinzhi squinted, "A sorcerer?"
The old nanny said repeatedly, "I heard that the sorcerer is very skilled. If the young prince and princess are taken back by the Consort Xian, they may not live long!"
Since when, there have been many sorcerers in the world.
They call themselves reclusive masters.
To enter the world and assist a wise ruler.
But most of them are swindlers and fraudsters.
Using dubious techniques to achieve one's own goals.
Unexpectedly, this trend has now spread even to the palace.
If these sorcerers' methods are truly that sophisticated.
So many people want to kill her, how come she's still alive?
Qin Jinzhi has always believed that human will can overcome nature.
However, what the old woman said is true. If this pair of dragon and phoenix phoenixes falls into the hands of Consort Xian.
It seems the odds are really against them.
Consort Fang's father was just a minor official; he probably reached such a high position because of the auspicious birth of this dragon and phoenix.
She has been able to survive in the harem until now thanks to this nanny who gave her advice.
"You are Consort Fang's dowry attendant?"
The nanny immediately replied, "I am Her Highness's wet nurse."
Qin Jinzhi said as if pondering, "You are indeed clever. If you can do something for me, I will help Consort Fang resolve this trouble."
