Chapter 383 Deliberate Argument
Chu Pan'er looked at Yuchai being dragged away, and she was shaking with shock and anger.
Lu Xiang... Lu Xiang...
"Hu Qian, go back to Chengqian Palace." Emperor Chengde lost the intention to go to the harem and gave the order in a deep voice.
"Yeah." Hu Qian replied.
The eunuchs carrying the sedan chair immediately turned around.
"Farewell to the Emperor." Queen Song took the lead and led everyone to see him off.
Emperor Chengde turned around and looked at Empress Song, gnashing his teeth secretly.
Song Nanyue is now increasingly disregarding him as the emperor. Not only does she go against him, she also dares to turn her face away from him. In the end, she doesn't even give him a chance to speak.
Where is the queen who used to put him first and was as gentle as water?
Queen Song had no idea that Emperor Chengde was filled with grief and anger, but when she saw him glaring at her before leaving, she glared back at him, not wanting to be outdone.
Emperor Chengde: "..."
Oh, he's so mad.
Hu Qian only felt an extremely cold air spreading around him, which froze him so much that he shuddered and subconsciously looked towards Emperor Chengde. He saw that the emperor had a dark face, as if others owed him millions of taels of gold.
Only when the emperor's procession had gone far away did everyone look away.
"Are you okay?" Concubine Zhen held Lu Xiang's shoulders with lingering fear and looked her up and down. She wanted to say a few words of comfort, but found that her little niece looked calm and not panicked at all, while she, an outsider, was the one who experienced a terrifying experience.
"Aunt, I'm fine." Lu Xiang said with a smile.
Queen Song heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that she didn't seem to be forcing herself. Then she looked at Chu Pan'er with a stern gaze, as sharp as any blade in the world.
Chu Pan'er subconsciously felt a sense of fear in her heart.
"Pass on my decree that Concubine Xian has mismanaged her daughter. She must kneel at the gate of Changchun Palace for an hour to reflect on her actions. Move to Tongxin Palace and find a tutor for the Ninth Princess. From tomorrow on, she will be taught the rules and etiquette. She must not lose face for the royal family or the dignity of the princess."
Chu Pan'er was horrified when she heard this: "Why do you want my mother to move out? My mother is deliberately trying to pick a fight with my mother."
Queen Song sneered, "So what? Now is not the time for you to deliberately go against Lu Xiang? I am the queen, and I have the final say in this palace. If you continue to live with Concubine Xian, you will only learn some crooked ways. Since Concubine Xian can't teach her daughter well, I, as her mother, will teach her well for her."
The tone was arrogant and overbearing.
Are you dissatisfied?
That's no use. Just keep it to yourself. In this harem, she has the final say.
Even the Queen Mother doesn't have the power to interfere.
The Queen Mother held a high position but had no power, because there could only be one mistress in the harem, and that was the Queen.
Chu Paner was so angry that her eyebrows raised and she felt dizziness in front of her eyes, but she didn't dare to refute.
"Shaohua, send the Ninth Princess back to Changchun Palace." Queen Song said.
"Yes, your majesty." Shaohua responded, then looked at Chu Pan'er: "Ninth Princess, please."
Let's go quickly. I still have to go to Changchun Palace to convey the Empress's instructions to Concubine Xian.
Chu Pan'er clenched her fists in hatred and left in shame.
Chu Ying'er stood aside helplessly, and said weakly: "Mother, I will take my leave as well."
When Queen Song heard this, she turned her head and looked at Chu Ying'er with a gentle smile: "Well, go ahead."
Chu Ying'er was stunned for a moment. Where was her mother who had an aura of eight meters and was so terrifying?
"I've caused trouble for Her Majesty again." Lu Xiang said.
"Nonsense, when have you ever caused trouble to me?" Queen Song retorted. It was obvious that this girl would rather take the thirty boards to avoid embarrassing her. "It's getting late. I'll let Yunlu take you out of the palace."
"No……"
Before Lu Xiang could finish his words, Queen Song interrupted him: "Be careful to prevent others from bumping into us."
She had just dealt with a palace maid and punished Chu Pan'er. No one else would come to trouble her again at this time.
Lu Xiang thought to himself.
In the end, Yunlu sent her to the palace gate.
Shaohua sent Chu Pan'er back to Changchun Palace.
Concubine Xian knelt down and listened to the Queen's instructions. After Shaohua finished speaking, her face turned pale and her body shook violently, as if she was about to fall.
"Your Majesty." Jinghua supported Concubine Xian in panic.
"Your Majesty's order is obeyed by your servant." Concubine Xian calmed herself down and kowtowed to accept the order.
Then she stood up with the help of Jinghua, walked towards the gate of Changchun Palace, and knelt down.
"Mother..." Chu Pan'er bit her lip and called out with red eyes.
Seeing her biological mother being punished to kneel and endure such humiliation, Chu Pan'er felt as if someone was cutting her flesh with a knife.
Concubine Xian did not respond to Chu Paner's call.
Jinghua couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Chu Pan'er.
The Queen had just been demoted and should not have acted rashly, but the Ninth Princess took it upon herself to plot against Lu Xiang. Now, not only did she fail, but she also implicated the Queen.
The coming and going of people in front of the palace is simply a joke.
I'm afraid the whole palace will know about it in less than a cup of tea.
She had already been demoted from a concubine to a concubine, and now she could not even live in Changchun Palace, so she had to move to the remote Tongxin Palace.
Is there any princess who is as deceitful as the Ninth Princess?
Jinghua's inner complaints were as turbid as the river water, and she felt extremely sorry for Concubine Xian.
After Shaohua conveyed Queen Song's order, she turned and left.
Chu Pan'er couldn't help but run to Concubine Xian and pulled her up while crying: "Mother, please get up."
Xianpin gently pushed Chu Paner's hand away. Although her expression was gentle, she was actually cold and indifferent. "It's sunny. Princess Nine, please go in. If I get up, the Queen will be furious."
There are so many eyes in the palace, if she stands up, it will not be as simple as kneeling as punishment.
She didn't blame her daughter. Queen Song was just using Pan'er's matter to humiliate her.
Concubine Xian suppressed the resentment that was rising in her heart and knelt upright under the scorching sun.
"Jinghua, take someone to pack up."
Jinghua reluctantly replied, "Yes, Madam."
Then he pulled Chu Paner in.
Yuhe Hall.
"Mother, mother..." Chu Ying'er ran into the palace in a hurry, sweating profusely, not sure if it was because of fear or because she ran too fast.
The main seat in Yuhe Hall is Concubine Liang, who lives in the main hall, while Concubine Rong and Chu Ying'er live in the east hall.
Liangpin had been accompanying Emperor Chengde since he was still a prince. Although he had no children, he was already an old lady from the imperial palace, so he was given the title of concubine when he entered the palace, but that was all.
She had neither the emperor's favor nor stunning beauty, but the emperor did not treat her badly out of affection for her.
Liangpin was also open-minded and took good care of Rong Guiren in her palace, so she treated Rong Guiren's only daughter as her own.
There were only two of them living in Yuhe Hall, and they lived in harmony.
"What's wrong? Why are you running in such a hurry?" Liangpin heard her voice and came out. Seeing Chu Ying'er covered in sweat, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat and pulled her into the main hall to cool down.
