Chapter 505: I haven't said anything about humiliation yet
Doctor Miao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your Highness is still thinking long-term. Then I know what to do."
Anyway, he was sent by the Emperor to check the rash for His Highness, so he can ignore everyone else. If you want to know about His Highness' condition, just ask the Emperor yourself.
After saying that, Doctor Miao stood up and left. Before leaving, he suddenly stopped and turned back to Sheng Xian and said, "The Cantonese food we had last time was good. Ask the chef to make more soup for me. I'm old and need to take care of my health."
Sheng Xian looked at Doctor Miao, who was only in his early forties and walked very fast: "..."
Three days later, Chu Pan'er brought her husband Ji Chong into the palace.
The two first went to the Cining Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager. After sitting for a while, they stood up and went to the Jingren Palace to kowtow to the Queen.
Shufei, Yifei, Liangfei and Xianpin were sitting on either side of Empress Song's assistants. When Chu Pan'er and Ji Chong came out of Cining Palace, someone came to Jingren Palace to pass on a message.
Following the loud singing of the eunuchs outside the hall, the two men came in together.
Chu Pan'er was wearing a cross-collared top with a light red crabapple flower embroidered on it, and a moon-shaped skirt of the same color. Her slender waist was shown off by a satin belt, which highlighted her curvaceous figure. She had a pretty smile, and compared to the resentment that she couldn't control on the day of her wedding, her smile today seemed much more sincere, with a hint of charm between her eyebrows.
There were two cushions placed in front of Queen Song.
When Chu Pan'er knelt down, Ji Chong beside her carefully helped her up. Chu Pan'er turned her head and smiled at him.
After Ji Chong knelt down, the two of them kowtowed to Queen Song together.
After bowing, Chu Pan'er offered tea to Queen Song: "Mother, please have some tea."
Queen Song took a sip, and her dignified and beautiful face showed no emotion. She handed the gift she had prepared to Chu Pan'er and said calmly, "Now that you are married, live a good life."
Chu Pan'er took it, lowered her eyes and replied, "Thank you, mother. I will follow your instructions."
Queen Song: "Get up."
Then, Chu Pan'er offered tea to other people in the hall one by one, without having to kneel again.
Concubine Shu, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Liang each presented a gift.
"Sister Liang Fei, are you short of money? Why is the gift so shabby?"
When Concubine Shu saw the Chaoyang Five Phoenix Golden Ring presented by Concubine Liang, she covered her mouth and chuckled, her face full of sneer.
Concubine Liang's face froze slightly, and she forced a smile, looking at Concubine Shu and said, "My family is poor, so naturally I am not as rich as Sister Shu."
"Concubine Shu, you are so generous. Why did you only give me a set of headgear? I remember that you have a lot of fine things in your palace. In comparison, this is too shabby. Do you look down on Concubine Xian or the Ninth Princess?" Concubine Yi looked at Concubine Shu with a smile, but she choked her to death when she opened her mouth.
Concubine Shu glared at Concubine Yi and said, "Concubine Yi, what does it have to do with you when I talk to Concubine Liang? You have a lot of gifts, why don't you give me one more?"
Concubine Yi blinked and sighed: "Alas, it's my fault that my family is not as well off as yours, we are so poor." Then, she smiled apologetically at Concubine Xian and the Ninth Princess: "Next time, I will definitely prepare an extra gift next time."
Concubine Xian was so angry that her face turned green.
This Concubine Yi is so wicked. Is she cursing Pan'er to divorce and remarry?
If Concubine Yi knew what Concubine Shu was thinking, she would probably roll her eyes in silence.
What she meant clearly was that next time Chu Paner had another happy event, she would prepare generous gifts for her.
Chu Pan'er's expression froze, and she resisted the urge to throw things. She gritted her teeth and said to Concubine Yi, "Thank you for your kindness, Mother Yi. It's not necessary."
So infuriating!
"Stop talking." Queen Song scolded, looking at Concubine Shu coldly, "You can make trouble even when I give you a gift. Have you been too idle lately? The soldiers at the border are fighting bravely. If Concubine Shu has nothing to do, you might as well copy a few more Buddhist scriptures so that the Buddha can bless the Great Wei to drive away the enemy and protect the country."
Concubine Shu was so angry that her blood boiled. She sneered: "Are you deliberately trying to pick a fight with me, your Majesty?"
Queen Song: "You have been making irresponsible remarks in my palace, mocking Concubine Liang and deliberately stirring up trouble. If I don't fight you, how can I fight against a ghost? You still have the nerve to ask me, Concubine Shu, where is your face?"
Concubine Shu was furious and stood up from her chair suddenly. Because of her big movements, the hairpin on her head was shaking violently: "Empress, even if I am wrong, you should just tell me the truth. Why do you want to humiliate me?"
Queen Song glanced at Concubine Shu calmly and said, "Is this what you call humiliation? I haven't said the real humiliation yet. If you want to hear it, I can tell you now."
"Empress, you are really going too far." Concubine Shu said angrily, and then left in anger.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense and solemn.
Queen Song looked at Concubine Shu who was leaving, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed. She just sat there quietly, exuding an intimidating aura of power without anger.
Ji Chong stood aside and didn't dare to breathe.
"If you feel you are in the wrong, just say that Your Majesty is going too far. People who don't know would think she is the master of the six palaces." Concubine Yi rolled her eyes at Concubine Shu's departing back and ridiculed her without any politeness.
Well……
Concubine Liang wanted to step forward and cover Concubine Yi's mouth.
I know you always speak your mind, but this analogy is really inappropriate.
If the Queen was a petty person, she would have dragged her out and beaten her.
Concubine Yi obviously thought of her inappropriate remarks just now and immediately shut her mouth guiltily.
Queen Song didn't care about what Concubine Yi said. She was the emperor's third empress, so naturally she was not as noble as Queen Yuan, nor as noble as the second Queen Yao. After all, Queen Yao was the emperor's favorite person. Even though she was the empress, she was very strong and the emperor would never let her suffer any grievances. At that time, no one among Concubine Shu and others dared to bully her. They would take a detour when they saw Queen Yao, for fear that the emperor would lose his temper for her.
As for her, she was not favored and had no son. Relying on the fact that she followed the emperor from the palace and had an extraordinary status, Shufei always felt very proud. Over time, she became more and more presumptuous.
"I am tired, you can leave." Queen Song said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian stood up and bowed: "I'll take my leave."
Chu Paner and Ji Chong also followed suit and saluted.
"I'll take my leave."
"I will take my leave."
Queen Song nodded indifferently.
Concubine Xian took the two of them away.
After leaving Jingren Palace, a hint of gloom suddenly flashed across Chu Paner's innocent and pretty face. She turned her head to look at Jingren Palace behind her, but quickly retracted her gaze, took Concubine Xian's hand with a well-behaved look, and walked towards Tongxin Palace.
Today is her return home day, but the princesses of the royal family are different from the girls of the common people. However, after meeting the Queen Mother and the Queen, she can stay in Concubine Xian’s palace until night before leaving the palace.
