Chapter 250: Slapped in the face in public
"Oh, the Emperor and the Empress are here too!" Nanny Gui said in a panic.
She was so flustered just now that she only saw Miss Rong Er in a light red skirt, but ignored the Emperor and Empress standing opposite Rong Er.
"This old servant pays respects to the Emperor and Empress!" Nanny Gui hurriedly took two little palace maids to pay their respects to the Emperor and Empress.
"Nanny Gui, are you here to find Miss Rong Er?" The Empress asked coldly.
Nanny Gui explained, "That's right. Just now, this old servant took Miss Rong Er to the Imperial Hospital, but halfway through the journey, Miss Rong Er disappeared. This old servant was so worried that he couldn't find her."
[Hahaha! Nanny Gui also concealed some details. She was clearly pretending to go to the official room, and then took the opportunity to slip away, deliberately running to the Yu Garden.]
At this time, Xia Miaoyuan stood beside the Emperor and Empress, and the Emperor and Empress clearly heard their daughter's voice.
They all felt nervous.
What? After entering the palace, she deliberately got rid of the nanny and came to Yu Garden!
What is she doing?
"Our Concubine Rong has sent more than ten eunuchs and palace maids to look for the second young lady."
"Huh?" Nanny Gui was suddenly stunned.
"Second young lady, why are you in Yu Garden?"
Rong Er's face flushed purple: "I... I got lost"
"I don't know how I got to Yu Garden."
Xia Miaoyuan said at the right time: "Why didn't you ask for directions after you got lost? Instead, you sang and danced in Yu Garden?"
The fifth prince suppressed his laughter and said: "Can singing and dancing improve road madness?"
Nanny Gui was stunned, what? Singing and dancing in Yu Garden?
Hearing this, the emperor and empress already understood everything.
In Daxia, the most noble and supreme man is naturally Emperor Mingxi.
There are countless women who dream of entering the palace and becoming the woman of Emperor Mingxi.
To accompany the prince and become the favorite concubine of Emperor Mingxi, and enjoy unlimited honor and grace.
If they can give birth to a child for Emperor Mingxi, not only will their second half of life be stable, but even their entire family will prosper.
During the years that Xia Zhengqi was the emperor, he met many women who tried their best to seduce him.
Some took the elegant route and seduced him secretly, while others took the despicable route, being straightforward and even raw.
After Xia Miaoyuan and the fifth prince's revelations, as well as Nanny Gui's brief narration, the empress and queen saw through Miss Rong Er's tricks at once.
Xia Zhengqi rolled his eyes at Rong Er in disgust.
Rong Er happened to look up and secretly observe the expressions of the emperor and empress, and just happened to see Xia Zhengqi's complete eye roll.
Her heart skipped a beat.
It's over, it's all over now. Her carefully designed plan to seduce Emperor Mingxi has completely failed.
At this moment, Rongpin hurried over.
"Your Majesty, Empress, you are all here!" Rongpin saluted them.
"I am here to look for my niece from my natal family. I just heard from the palace maid that she seemed to have come to Yu Garden."
Rongpin explained while glancing at Rong Er who was kneeling beside her.
"Xinyue, how did you get yourself into this state?" Rongpin stepped forward and exclaimed.
Xia Miaoyuan looked at Rongpin's ignorant look and couldn't help but feel pity.
[Ah, Concubine Rong is really miserable. She was warmly entertaining her family, but she never expected that her niece would stab her in the back. ]
[She didn't care about the palace rules, didn't care about her aunt's situation, and secretly ran to Yu Garden to seduce the emperor. ]
[It's so straightforward. I hold my niece in my hands and love her, but my niece actually wants to snatch my man! ]
"Ah!" The queen sighed heavily.
"Concubine Rong, take your niece home and clean her up. There were some accidents just now."
The queen originally wanted to teach Concubine Rong a lesson in public, but then she thought that she also wanted Concubine Rong's eldest niece to be her daughter-in-law, and it would be embarrassing for Concubine Rong in public.
Unexpectedly, Xia Zhengqi said coldly: "Rongpin, you take her back today and discipline her well!"
"The Rong family is a clean family. I also know the character of the three generations of Rong family officials. They are all upright, upright and sensible people."
"The Rong family's family style can also be ranked in this huge capital."
"A daughter raised in such a family should also be sensible and know how to advance and retreat. She should not do things that disgrace the family."
[Good, good, good! Dad is really awesome! ]
[For such a woman with evil intentions and no sense of shame, she should be slapped in the face. ]
Xia Miaoyuan was very happy to see Emperor Mingxi reprimand Rong Er so harshly.
Miss Rong Er's face turned pale and red, which was extremely ugly.
She really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into immediately.
Being reprimanded by the emperor in public without mercy is hundreds of times more painful than being slapped in the face.
Rongpin was panic-stricken. She was so frightened that she didn't know how to respond to Xia Zhengqi.
Didn't her niece just get lost in the palace? Was it necessary to say such ugly words?
But she only dared to complain in her heart and didn't dare to show it.
"I understand. I will follow the emperor's instructions."
Xia Zhengqi heard Rongpin's respectful agreement, and then he pulled the queen away with a cold face. As
soon as Xia Zhengqi left, Rongpin's legs softened and she almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the palace maid beside her was quick to support her.
"What happened? What did you just do? Why is the emperor so angry?" Rongpin asked her niece in astonishment.
She was completely disgraced today.
She had been in the palace for more than ten years, and although she was not considered a favorite concubine, the Mingxi Emperor always respected her because she was tactful, gentle and virtuous.
In the past ten years, the Mingxi Emperor had never said such harsh words to her.
Today, Rong Er got lost in the palace, and he actually angered the emperor. Rong Er must have done something excessive.
Rong Er's face was covered with tears. He raised his head and said aggrievedly, "Aunt, I just got lost and came to Yu Garden by mistake, and then met a crazy old eunuch."
"The old eunuch bullied me...but...the emperor and empress not only did not punish the old eunuch, but also reprimanded you..."
"Aunt, Xinyue feels wronged!"
Rong Er's tears fell like beads from a broken string.
[What a scheming woman, she is so good at turning the tables and confusing right and wrong! ]
Xia Miaoyuan was furious when she heard Rong Er's cunning excuses.
"Empress Rong, this sister was singing and dancing in Yu Garden after she got lost!" Xia Miaoyuan walked to Rong Bin with Hua Ni'er and said in a baby voice.
The fifth prince immediately chimed in, "Yes. When my sister and I arrived at Yu Garden, this elder sister was dancing in the garden, singing something like "My Love for You" while dancing."
"Then while she was singing and dancing, that crazy eunuch Xia Shi ran out."
"Madam Rong, you know that eunuch Xia Shi, right? He was the eunuch who served the emperor back then. Because of his meritorious service in saving the emperor, he was given the surname of the emperor. After he went crazy
, my father ordered him to be kept in the palace." "Eunuch Xia Shi went crazy because his beloved maid died suddenly. When he saw this elder sister was so beautiful, singing and dancing, he probably thought of his sweetheart."
"Then he regarded this sister as his sweetheart..." The fifth prince finished speaking and stuck out his tongue.
Rongpin's face was as ugly as pig liver.
"Thank you, I know." Rongpin said to Xia Miaoyuan and the fifth prince with a smile.
"Help the second girl up and send her back to Cuixi Palace." Rongpin suppressed the anger in her chest and ordered in a cold voice.
