Chapter 46 The Crown Princess is a Trickster
Concubine Wen didn't dare to throw the handkerchief again, but she was still anxious: "The Crown Princess said that I am whiter than a white lotus, and I grew up drinking Biluochun, so my mouth is fresh..."
What happened next, Concubine Wen couldn’t say anything.
Emperor Shengzong listened to this and looked up at Bai Taotao: "I hear the Crown Princess is praising you, isn't she?"
Bai Lianhua and Biluochun are insulting in the storybook "Chasing the Escaped Pregnant Princess".
That’s right, the Crown Princess and he share the same love for reading storybooks.
I also put what I learned into practice. I learned it, I learned it.
Next time, he can also scold civil and military officials in the court like this and still maintain his image as a wise and powerful emperor!
Bai Taotao looked up at Emperor Shengzong:???
What's with the look in my father's eyes as if he has finally found a like-minded person?
Concubine Wen was anxious: "The Crown Princess said something else, every word was unpleasant to the ears, I can't say it."
Emperor Shengzong's face darkened. "My beloved concubine, whatever you say is fine. If you say anything, I will punish the Crown Princess without any bias."
Concubine Wen refused to say anything because she would not scold herself unless she was scolded openly.
Empress Zhou was happy to see Bai Taotao punished, and at the same time she could have a legitimate reason to scold Concubine Wen.
A two-pronged approach.
So, Empress Zhou said, "Your Majesty, please let me speak."
Emperor Shengzong glanced at Empress Zhou with dignity and said, "The one being scolded isn't the Empress. What are you talking about? If it were the Empress, would she also want to be scolded?"
Empress Zhou immediately wilted: "I dare not."
Emperor Shengzong specifically asked Concubine Wen, "Concubine Wen, speak!"
Concubine Wen burst into tears again. She didn't want to say it, but Emperor Shengzong's attitude forced her to say it.
Concubine Wen could only repeat everything Bai Taotao said with a wronged look on her face.
After hearing this, Emperor Shengzong almost lost his image as a dignified emperor. In order to hold back his laughter, he raised his hand to cover his mouth: "Ahem."
The Crown Princess is very powerful. Every word she says is both a compliment and a curse.
Take a small notebook and write it down. I’ve learned it. I’ve learned it.
Lu Jiuyuan couldn't help but twitch his lips:...
Should he be thankful that she only talked nonsense and misled him with her dirty talk, and never scolded him?
It seemed that she was still kind to him.
Bai Taotao innocently asked Emperor Shengzong, "My daughter-in-law said Concubine Wen looks very rational. Is that a compliment?"
Emperor Shengzong: "Yes."
Only those who are ugly need motivation.
Bai Taotao: "Among the Eighteen Weapons, she ranks third. Concubine Wen fits her position perfectly in the palace. Isn't that a compliment?"
Emperor Shengzong: "Yes."
Well, Sword comes in third, which is pretty good!
Bai Taotao: "Scholars love plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. My daughter-in-law praised Concubine Wen's lips as beautiful as chrysanthemums. Isn't that a compliment?"
Emperor Shengzong suppressed his laughter and said, "Yes."
In the movie "Chasing the Pregnant Princess", there is an explanation about the chrysanthemum, a person's anus.
He could never look directly into Concubine Wen's mouth again.
Concubine Wen blushed with anger: "But the Crown Princess said that I... can put..."
Can fart!
Only the anus can fart!
Emperor Shengzong pinched his thigh, then swallowed his smile and put on a cold face.
He looked at Concubine Wen: "In terms of status, the Crown Princess is above you. What gives you the right to let her praise you?" Concubine Wen choked: "Your humble concubine..."
Bai Taotao weakly raised her hand, but her voice was resounding: "Because General Wen is not going to fight, I feel that Concubine Wen is being confined and demoted, and cannot sleep with him. This is an injustice done to Concubine Wen by her daughter-in-law."
After saying this, Bai Taotao said aggrievedly: "It was clearly the emperor's order, why does he want his daughter-in-law to submit and apologize?"
Lu Jiuyuan shouted in a deep voice: "Crown Princess!"
Is she seeking death by confronting her father like this?
Bai Taotao knew that Emperor Shengzong was a majestic emperor in appearance but a kind and amiable old man in private, so she was not afraid of him.
"My daughter-in-law has shared my father's worries, so I'm willing to take the blame. But even though I've given in to Concubine Wen, she's still not satisfied. Do you think she feels wronged?"
Emperor Shengzong nodded: "I feel wronged!"
Bai Taotao clenched her fists and said, "And General Wen, you're not going into battle despite being ill. Without the warrior spirit, you're not a good general!"
Emperor Shengzong glanced at Bai Taotao and said, "Crown Princess, please be careful with your words."
This silly daughter-in-law is always bringing hatred to her.
She's not afraid that General Wen will come back to settle the score with her!
Bai Taotao sat down obediently and added, "In short, a master shouldn't be spoiled if he's too successful. Anyway, a daughter-in-law won't be spoiled."
Concubine Wen was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and lowered her head: "Father has not achieved such great success that he would threaten the emperor. Your Majesty will know this."
Emperor Shengzong's face darkened.
Empress Zhou also knelt down with the other concubines, saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
Bai Taotao refused to kneel, she just sat down obediently.
Lu Jiuyuan: ...
This damn woman is so ignorant of the world.
I don’t know how much hatred this incident today has caused.
Emperor Shengzong was silent for a long while. "Concubine Wen was too outspoken to address the Crown Princess by her name. This is an offense against your superiors. You will be demoted to the ninth concubine and given a minor punishment and a major warning."
Concubine Wen looked up suddenly, shocked: "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Shengzong asked coldly, "What do you mean, my beloved concubine?"
Concubine Wen...
No, now she is Concubine Wen. She lowered her head and said, "I thank you for your grace."
Empress Zhou said worriedly, "Your Majesty, the war in the northern border is tense right now. If..."
Emperor Shengzong tilted his head and asked Empress Zhou quietly, "Why, does the Empress also think that I should show some courtesy to General Wen?"
As soon as these words came out, Queen Zhou felt a chill on her back and immediately knelt down: "I dare not."
Emperor Shengzong snorted coldly: "The queen is poorly managed. She stayed in the palace and copied scriptures and chanted Buddha for three days to pray for the war in the northern border."
Queen Zhou's expression changed, and she could only lower her eyebrows and say: "Yes."
Pray for the war in the northern border?
Living in the palace copying scriptures and chanting Buddha's name?
This means she is confined to her house for three days as punishment!
Bai Taotao looked at Emperor Shengzong obediently: "Father, can your daughter-in-law plead for Concubine Wen?"
Emperor Shengzong looked at her and asked, "Crown Princess, do you still want to plead for her?"
Bai Taotao displayed an expression of national justice: "Yes, the war in the northern border is urgent. It's right for General Wen to feel sorry for his daughter, so his daughter-in-law shouldn't be stingy."
Emperor Shengzong: "You say."
He could also give her a way out.
Bai Taotao pleaded sincerely, "How about this? Give Concubine Wen a title. Since Concubine Wen doesn't like chrysanthemums, why not give her the plum blossom, the first of the Four Gentlemen, the title of Mei Wenpin?"
Emperor Shengzong: "Ahem!"
Mei Wenpin?
No diploma?
The Crown Princess made very good use of the curse words in that storybook.
Emperor Shengzong also took out a small notebook and wrote it down.
He nodded approvingly: "The Crown Princess is righteous, so I will grant her the title of Wenpin, Mei."
Emperor Shengzong looked at the newly appointed Consort Mei Wenpin and said, "My beloved Consort Mei Wenpin, why don't you thank the Crown Princess for her plea?"
Cough cough.
Hold it in, don't laugh!
Mei Wenpin always felt that this title was strange. In history, she had never seen any concubine's title include a surname.
This is her first case!
Come to think of it, this is also a kind of honor.
It's good enough that the emperor didn't get angry and punish my father because his achievements were so great that they threatened the emperor.
Mei Wenpin was instantly satisfied and stopped making a fuss: "I thank the Crown Princess."
Bai Taotao smiled and said, "You're welcome, Mei Wenpin. Just don't let your father get angry again. If you come back to the capital, you can find fault with me, the little Crown Princess."
Mei Wenpin: "Father is definitely not that kind of person, Crown Princess, don't worry."
Lu Jiuyuan: ...
Damn woman, she cheated three people in one trip to the palace!
