Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 366 Confusion

"Mother, I am wronged!"

"That eunuch An Shengbo must be holding a grudge against me, that's why, that's why..."

"I punished him earlier this year because he offended my twelfth brother. He almost died, so how could he still work for me?"

"I really don't know who ordered him to do this. Now that he has died without any evidence, will the suspicion against me ever be cleared?"

The fifth princess, Qin Jingshu, knelt on the ground, sniffed, her voice choked with sobs, tears swirling in her slightly red eye sockets.

"Hurry up and get up. Seeing you look so wronged and pitiful, the Queen Mother and your mother are heartbroken."

Queen Shen Ningyue said gently and waved to Qin Jingshu.

Qin Jingshu raised her hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve. She was helped up by Xiaoji beside her. She happily trotted forward and skillfully hugged Shen Ningyue's arm.

"I haven't said anything yet, but our Fifth Princess is already complaining.

It's hard for you to think so much at such a young age. Yesterday, I asked your mother to comfort you after she returned. Was she too lazy to do so, or did you not listen to me?"

Shen Ningyue curved her eyebrows, stretched out her index finger, and gently poked Qin Jingshu's forehead, seemingly reproaching her, but actually full of doting.

"If I wanted to question you, I would have summoned you to the Pepper Room yesterday to confront you in front of Imperial Concubine Yi. Why would I wait until today to question you in private?"

"Mother, you are the best."

There were still tiny tears on Qin Jingshu's eyelashes, and her rosy face looked delicate and adorable. She stretched out two fingers to pinch the hem of Shen Ningyue's sleeve and shook it gently.

"What about your mother-in-law?"

"Mother~"

Qin Jingshu pouted and stomped her feet softly.

"Why are you still competing with my mother for the position of my son? My mother carried me for ten months and gave birth to me. If we were to choose first or second, she would definitely be the first son.

Can't the word 'most' contain several people? My heart is big enough to accommodate many people!"

Qin Jingshu covered her heart with her hands, pretending to hold her heart, and glanced at Shunpin Shi Qingzhang beside her with a smile, blinked at her, then squatted down, hugged Shen Ningyue's legs, and put her head on Shen Ningyue's knees affectionately.

"You!"

Shen Ningyue gently stroked Qin Jingshu's soft cheek and sighed.

Her two daughters, the second princess Qin Mingyue and the third princess Qin Lingyi, are not as charming, cute, and coquettish as the fifth princess Qin Jingshu, born to Shunpin.

"whee."

Qin Jingshu cooperated and rubbed Shen Ningyue's hand, with a shallow dimple under her lips and her cute smile bright and beautiful.

She didn't understand why the second sister wanted to solve it alone? Why didn't she tell her mother and let her do it?

The Queen Mother is not her honest and timid mother. As the master of the harem, wouldn't it be easier for her to do whatever she wants?

There was no need for her to direct suspicion onto the eldest royal brother, let the eldest royal brother bear the blame for spreading rumors against the seventh royal brother, and then guide the palace to find out that the eldest royal brother was the culprit who burned the concubine to death.

But it is probably not necessary now. In order to clear the reputation of her seventh brother, Imperial Concubine Yi has found a solution.

The poor beauty Huang Zhongling became a seductress who was burned to death by heavenly fire in broad daylight. The heavenly fire was an accident, not man-made, so there was naturally no one behind it who needed to be investigated.

However, this frame-up was not aimed at the second princess at the beginning, but at the ninth princess.

The eldest son's wife's background was not as good as that of the seventh prince's wife, who was Imperial Concubine Yi, so the ninth prince burned the seventh prince's wife to death in the palace.

Because of the Second Imperial Sister's actions, this matter didn't cause any waves. The Second Imperial Sister is very powerful, but...

Wouldn't it be better to let my mother do this?

Ninth brother and second sister are born from the same mother, so why do they need such a favor? I don't know if Ninth brother will appreciate it.

Do not understand.

Don't understand it at all.

Is it because he wants to shift the blame onto his eldest brother and is worried that the Queen Mother will object?

It is true that the Queen Mother is kind and usually cares for the eldest prince. But when it comes to choosing between her own Ninth Prince and the Eldest Prince born to another concubine, is there any objection?

Although Qin Jingshu was full of confusion, she did not reveal it at all.
