Chapter 181 Yingying is angry
In the capital city.
Emperor Tianqi was in a trance the whole day. He didn't even review the memorials. He sat in the imperial study, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"emperor!"
Gao Ming came in from outside and called out softly, and Emperor Tianqi came back to his senses.
He glared at Gao Ming with displeasure, picked up the memorial beside him and opened it, saying unhappily, "Speak."
"Your Majesty, the Empress requests an audience."
Gao Ming knew that his emperor was angry, but the queen had already come several times. If he didn't come in to report, the queen might break in.
Emperor Tianqi put down the memorial, frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Let her in."
"Yes."
As soon as Gao Ming left, Queen Shen came in carrying a food box.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Queen Shen bowed slowly.
"No gifts."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Empress Shen stood up and placed the food box on the table beside her, then opened it and said, "I personally made some snacks and sent them here specially for Your Majesty to taste.
"The Queen is interested."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianqi stood up and walked out from behind the imperial desk, then sat down at the table next to Empress Shen.
Empress Shen quickly took out an empty plate from the food box and placed it in front of Emperor Tianqi. She then took a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of lotus crisps and placed it on the empty plate, then handed the chopsticks to Emperor Tianqi.
"Thank you for your hard work, Queen."
Emperor Tianqi took the chopsticks, picked up the lotus crisp and took a bite.
When Empress Shen saw Emperor Tianqi eat it, she smiled and said, "It's not hard. This is what I should do."
"sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Empress Shen sat down below Emperor Tianqi, watching him eat, and said casually, "Your Majesty, please don't work too hard, and take care of yourself."
Hearing Queen Shen's caring words, Emperor Tianqi felt somewhat relieved. After all, Queen Shen was his first wife. However, when he thought about their two sons, one of whom died and the other became a disabled person, he couldn't help feeling sad.
Queen Shen seemed to have thought of something and shed tears.
"Your Majesty, my virtuous concubine is gone, and now only Jun'er is left. Please save Jun'er." As she said this, Queen Shen stood up from the stool and knelt down.
Emperor Tianqi no longer found the lotus crisps tasty.
He put down his chopsticks and sighed, "You get up first."
Empress Shen stood up obediently for fear of angering Emperor Tianqi. Emperor Tianqi said helplessly, "I know you feel bad for Jun'er, and I do too. I asked everyone in the Imperial Hospital to check on Jun'er, but they were helpless. What can I do?"
Queen Shen snorted in her heart.
Of course she knew that the mediocre doctors in the Imperial Hospital could not cure her Jun'er, but just because those mediocre doctors could not cure him did not mean that others could not.
"Your Majesty, isn't Princess Jing also a doctor?" Queen Shen said in tears.
"Girl Yue?" Emperor Tianqi frowned.
Asking Princess Jing to treat another man's genitals? Not to mention whether she could do it or not, that bastard would never agree. Not to mention that Yue was once engaged to Jun'er and they were still grudges, so it was even more impossible for her to do it.
Empress Shen saw the Emperor Tianqi's hesitation and knelt down again. "I beg Your Majesty to issue an imperial decree to allow Princess Jing to show Jun'er."
Jun'er must have been poisoned by that bitch Gu Lingyue. As long as the emperor ordered her to treat Jun'er, she didn't believe that Jun'er would not recover.
This time, Emperor Tianqi did not let Queen Shen stand up, but frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing that Emperor Tianqi didn't say anything, Empress Shen excitedly knelt down beside him and grabbed his sleeve. "Your Majesty, Jun'er's inhumanity is now known to almost everyone in Tianqi. If Jun'er can't be cured, how will he live in the future? I have seen several young ladies for him, but no one is willing to marry Jun'er.
Your Majesty, Jun'er is also your son. Can you bear to see him alone in the future?"
"Please get up first." Emperor Tianqi was a little upset. "Let me think about this. You know that Shang'er and his wife are not easy to talk to. I think they already know that you sent those women to Prince Jing's Mansion last time. Now if you ask Prince Jing's wife to treat Jun'er, I'm afraid they will be even more dissatisfied."
"Your Majesty..." Queen Shen was unwilling.
At that time, she thought that even the many doctors in the Imperial Hospital couldn't cure Jun'er's illness. Who knew those mediocre doctors were so incompetent? Besides, you are the emperor, how dare he disobey your imperial decree? You still feel sorry for the bastard born by that bitch!
When Emperor Tianqi saw that Queen Shen had not woken up, he raised his eyes and his deep black pupils fell on Queen Shen's face.
When Empress Shen met the deep black pupils of Emperor Tianqi, she suddenly had the illusion that her inner thoughts were seen through. She lowered her eyelids to hide the emotions in her eyes and stood up.
"You go back first. We'll discuss this matter after they come back."
"Yes, the concubine is retiring."
Empress Shen left with the food box. Emperor Tianqi was in no mood to review the memorials. He stood up and walked out of the imperial study. He said to Gao Ming at the door, "Accompany me to the imperial garden for a walk."
"Yes."
At the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion at this time.
Gu Chenrui and Qin Lan were about to take Wei Yingying out of the house to play when they were stopped by Dong Jinyu who had just returned from outside and her maid Mingxia.
"Can't you even pay your respects to our concubine when you see her? Is this the upbringing of the Marquis of Zhenbei?" Ming Xia accused arrogantly.
The person in front of her is the younger brother of Princess Jing. Princess Jing is the enemy of her young lady, so he is also the enemy of her young lady.
Gu Chenrui frowned when he heard this.
Logically speaking, the emperor had issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage, so the person in front of him must be Prince Jing's concubine. However, Prince Jing had promised him that he would not take a concubine. Now Prince Jing has not returned yet, and he does not know Prince Jing's choice, so he is unwilling to admit that the person in front of him is Prince Jing's concubine, otherwise it would be equivalent to his sister's family agreeing to Prince Jing marrying a concubine.
If Prince Jing and his sister come back, and Prince Jing agrees to the emperor's arranged marriage, and his sister also agrees, he won't say anything. If his sister disagrees, the worst that can happen is a divorce. He will work hard to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar. His sister doesn't need to rely on others, and just has him.
So Gu Chenrui didn't say anything for a while.
Wei Yingying looked unhappy when she saw Gu Chenrui being scolded.
She pouted, put her hands on her hips, and said to Ming Xia, "Why do you scold Brother Rui? Why do you ask us to pay our respects to her? Big Daddy hasn't come back yet, and it's not certain whether she can become his concubine."
"You..." Ming Xia pointed at Wei Yingying, too angry to speak.
Dong Jinyu didn't care.
She felt that arguing with a five or six-year-old child was beneath her dignity. Moreover, she was the concubine bestowed upon Prince Jing by the Emperor, and a few words from a child could not change her situation.
So she ignored Wei Yingying and looked at Gu Chenrui, saying sarcastically, "Master Gu, don't you have a place to live? Do you want me to send you to live in the courtyard?"
"No need." Gu Chenrui said in a cold voice.
"That's not necessary—" Dong Jinyu's voice was drawn out, with a rising tone at the end, full of mockery, "I thought Mr. Gu had no place to live, otherwise why would he stay in the palace so stubbornly?"
Wei Yingying was furious and shouted at Dong Jinyu: "Shut up, you woman, you are..."
"Yingying!" Gu Chenrui didn't let Wei Yingying continue. After calling Wei Yingying, he looked at Dong Jinyu and said indifferently, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Dong. But this is my sister's house. It's natural for me to live here.
"Miss Dong, although the Emperor has granted you marriage, the Prince hasn't come to pick you up yet, and you've moved in here on your own, calling yourself 'this concubine'. What are you trying to do?"
Dong Jinyu was choked and her face instantly became extremely ugly. She glared at Gu Chenrui angrily.
She was the legitimate granddaughter of the Taifu Mansion. Even if she entered the palace to be a concubine, the emperor would have given her some face. But now that the emperor had granted her marriage to Prince Jing as a concubine, not only was there no bridal sedan chair to marry her, there was no betrothal gifts, and there was not even a sedan chair. She came in a carriage with the queen's people.
Her grandfather was so angry about this that he became sick.
So she can't retreat, she must gain a foothold in Prince Jing's Mansion, she must become Prince Jing's Consort in the future, and she must surpass that bitch Gu Lingyue.
Gu Chenrui was not afraid of Dong Jinyu at all and met her gaze.
In the end, Dong Jinyu was defeated. He gritted his teeth, glared at Gu Chenrui fiercely, flicked his sleeves and turned to enter Prince Jing's Mansion. Ming Xia snorted coldly at Gu Chenrui and quickly chased after her master.
"Brother Rui, what you just said was really satisfying!"
