Chapter 167 Intrigue
After hearing what Queen Wang and Prince Qi said, Shu Ning pursed her lips, still a little unwilling: "Mother, what about Yan Qing? Are you just going to let her go like this?"
Yan Qing killed her husband.
If it weren't for Yan Qing, she wouldn't be ridiculed by the world. Shu Ning must avenge this!
"she?"
Queen Wang laughed contemptuously and said, "She's just a woman. Even if she's a little smart, what good can it do?"
Shu Ning was delighted: "Does the Queen Mother have a way to deal with her?"
"It's not that I'm targeting her specifically."
Queen Wang took the tea handed to her by the palace maid, took a sip, and then slowly said, "Today I have specially invited the sons of nobles to come here. There are many outstanding ones among them. Please pay attention and see if our Princess Yan has any of her eyes."
Shu Ning was stunned and said, "So what if she likes him? She has already been married to Gu Huaizhou, how can she like someone else?"
Queen Wang raised her eyes and looked at her.
Shu Ning was stunned: "Mother?"
Queen Wang suddenly put down her teacup and said calmly, "No wonder you were deceived by such a fool. With your brain, you still want to seek revenge on Yan Qing?"
Shu Ning said aggrievedly: "Mother, I am not as smart as my brother, but I am also your child..."
Queen Wang said angrily, "If you weren't my child, I would have beaten you to death long ago!"
Shu Ning suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore.
Queen Wang was too lazy to look at her anymore and waved her hand to let her go.
After the eldest princess left, Queen Wang said to Nanny Wang beside her, "Is everything arranged?"
Nanny Wang immediately said, "Don't worry, Madam. Everything has been arranged. We will make sure Yan Qing is destroyed in the palace tonight!"
"Be more efficient and don't do it like last time."
"Don't worry, your majesty, this time it will be absolutely safe."
Queen Wang nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "What did father say?"
Nanny Wang whispered, "The Master said he had united with other forces to put pressure on His Majesty, but His Majesty seems a bit tough this time, actually asking the Fourth Prince to take the retired Mr. Qin as his teacher..."
"Humph!"
Queen Wang snorted coldly, "Mr. Qin was once the tutor of three generations of emperors, and now he is also the tutor of Gu Huaizhou. He wants to announce to the world that Gu Huaizhou is his preferred candidate for the crown prince, so that all the officials in the court can open their eyes!
And he even allowed Gu Huaizhou to take his mother's surname. He really can't let go of that bitch!"
"My Lady, I heard there's some movement in the Moon Palace..."
The Moon Palace was the palace where Concubine Yue lived during her lifetime. Since her death, the palace has been empty.
The emperor does not allow anyone to clean or live there.
It was kept in the palace in this dirty and intact state.
There has been no movement for more than ten years, but I didn’t expect there would be movement on today’s Laba Banquet?
Queen Wang asked, "What's going on?"
Nanny Wang had already found out everything: "I heard that it was the Fourth Prince who ordered the cleaning. No one knows what exactly was done."
Queen Wang narrowed her eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly sneered, "He's going to take Yan Qing to see that bitch..."
Nanny Wang frowned, "It seems that the Fourth Prince is truly affectionate towards Princess Qinghe. If something happens to the Princess, perhaps he won't abandon her."
"Not necessarily."
Queen Wang stroked her delicate yet sharp armor: "Sometimes, no matter how much you love someone, you still have to give them up. His father has already set an example for him in this regard..."
Nanny Wang thought about Concubine Yue’s ending.
His Majesty doted on Concubine Yue in the past, but in the end he couldn't even "protect" the child. He watched Concubine Yue die in front of him with his own eyes, and His Majesty was unable to seek justice for Concubine Yue.
Come to think of it, it is just as the Empress said.
No matter how great the love is, it will be worthless in the face of interests.
Nanny Wang shook her head and asked, "Madam, what should we do?"
This is a great opportunity.
"of course."
Queen Wang smiled and said, "It's rare for the Fourth Prince to be so filial. As the head of the harem, I must fulfill his filial piety..."
She lowered her head and whispered a few words into Nanny Wang's ear, who immediately said excitedly, "Your Majesty, a brilliant idea! I'll get it done right away!"
Nanny Wang hurriedly retreated.
Queen Wang looked at the night outside the window. Winter nights always get dark earlier than usual. After half past the hour of You, the sky outside was as dark as midnight.
Even with the devastating palace lanterns lit everywhere, it still couldn't hide the dirty things going on deep inside this palace that represented supreme power...
……
Xu Shi.
Emperor Yong and the Empress gave Laba porridge to all the royal family members and ate it with everyone.
During the banquet, a palace maid came up to Yan Qing and wanted to pour her tea.
Yan Qing stood up and said, "I'll do it myself."
As he said that, he took the teapot and did it himself.
The palace maid's expression changed instantly.
Over there, Queen Wang suddenly scolded, "You useless people! You actually let the princess do it herself! What use do I have for you? Come, drag him away and behead him!"
The palace maid was already trembling with fear.
Yan Qing, however, had no sympathy at all.
She didn't order tea.
Moreover, the tea cups of other people at the table were empty, but this palace maid didn't add any more, but only came to add tea for her?
There are always the same few kinds of intrigues within the harem.
Seeing Yan Qing remained indifferent, Queen Wang's eyes darkened and she had the maid dragged away.
Although Shu Ning was stupid, she grew up in the palace and naturally understood that the palace maid just now was arranged by her mother.
But I didn't expect that this bitch Yan Qing was so vigilant that she didn't even let the palace maids get close to her.
Seeing the palace maid being dragged away by the imperial guards, Shu Ning suddenly took advantage of everyone's inattention and poured the Laba porridge in her hand towards Yan Qing.
No one expected Shu Ning to be so bold.
Even Yan Qing didn't expect this.
Emperor Yong is still here!
"what!"
Shu Ning exaggeratedly said, "I didn't mean to do that. Princess Qinghe, you won't blame me, right?"
Yan Qing looked at the stains on his arm. The entire sleeve of his arm was dirty.
She immediately stepped forward and knelt in the hall: "Your Majesty, I don't know how Qinghe has offended the eldest princess. She even refused to drink the Laba porridge Your Majesty gave her. Qinghe knows that she is guilty. Please punish Qinghe and let him go home to reflect on his mistakes."
In the eldest princess's expectation, Yan Qing's clothes were soiled, and she would either be angry or hold it in. But no matter which one, she would have to change her clothes, and then whatever the queen mother arranged would be used. But Yan Qing was not angry at all and even asked her father to punish her?
Want to leave? There are no doors!
Shu Ning stood up without thinking and said, "No! You can't leave!"
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Everyone present looked at the eldest princess strangely.
Although everyone's attention was on the palace maid just now, it's not that no one saw Shu Ning's behavior, but most people chose to pretend to be blind.
Of course, not everyone is willing to pretend to be blind.
Prince Li suddenly laughed and said, "Royal sister, do you have a grudge against Princess Qinghe?"
