Jun Chenyuan felt angry and funny when he saw her like this. Really, how could he put the little girl in danger?
But his face was still full of sadness, he stood up and said, "Accompany me for a walk in the Royal Garden."
This pitiful look of depression and confusion gave Qi Bao'er a rare softening of heart. Before he could react, he had already followed him to the imperial garden.
Qi Baoer: "..."
Damn it, the saying that beauty can mislead people is indeed true, especially when a handsome man who has always been strong suddenly finds himself vulnerable.
The two of them were walking slowly in the garden, not chatting but their hearts were at peace. At some point, a thin layer of snow fell in the sky, and soon their hair and clothes were covered with a light white layer.
Jun Chenyuan looked at the octagonal pavilion in front of him: "It's snowing, let's sit in the pavilion."
"...Okay." Don't think I didn't see the warning look in your eyes when Eunuch Fu whispered to someone to hold an umbrella.
The two of them sat down in the pavilion, and the palace people quickly came over to light the fire and put on the tea sets.
"Is your third sister-in-law okay?"
Um??
Ask her properly what the third sister-in-law is doing?
However, Qi Baoer still answered truthfully: "Third sister-in-law's child can be saved, but she will have to stay in bed for a while."
Jun Chenyuan thought of something and his eyes slightly curled: "I thought you would go find trouble for the An family."
The little girl has not been someone who can tolerate anger since she was a child, and she is extremely protective of others.
Regardless of whether Qi Sanlang and his wife were at fault, it is a fact that the seventh girl of the An family pushed An Yueying and caused the child in her belly to almost miscarry.
According to his understanding of the little girl, it is impossible for the little girl to let An Yue go easily.
Qi Baoer held back his mouth reluctantly, "The Emperor still understands me."
Looking at her little appearance, Jun Chenyuan knew that it was not that she was not looking for trouble for An Jia, but that she had already done so, but outsiders didn't know about it.
In my heart, I have 120,000 sympathy for the seventh girl from the An family.
And An Yue, who was sympathized by Jun Chenyuan, was indeed not living a good life as he guessed. To be precise, the word "bad" is not enough to describe it. It should be said that it was miserable.
It is true that An Yue has always been loved by Mrs. An at the old house of the An family, but the premise of Mrs. An's love for her is that she cannot harm the family or her own wealth and prosperity.
An Yue pushed An Yueying in Ci'an Palace and almost caused An Yueying to have a miscarriage. It seemed that the matter was quite a big deal, but to be honest, it was the Qi family's and An's family's own business.
The emperor deliberately favored the Qi family, but it was not easy for the emperor to interfere in the private conflicts among his ministers unless the matter was serious.
Even if the Imperial Concubine wants to punish her, Qi'an and the An family are already in-laws, so the Imperial Concubine has to worry about Qi Baoer's face.
And An Yueying almost had a miscarriage, and this almost meant a big difference; in this world, once two families are related by marriage, they have a relationship similar to that of a bond, so even Qi Bao'er can't really understand it.
How about An Yue?
Therefore, Qi Baoer did not punish Anyue in any substantial way at that time. He just asked Anyue to bring a message to Anjia after she went back, asking Anjia to give an explanation to the Qi family.
This is also the reason why women in this world are so afraid of their reputation being ruined, because if one person's reputation hinders her, it will affect the same number of women.
But some things are not just fines and penalties. The attitude of the people above determines the direction of the people below.
Qi Baoer did not punish An Yue, but he showed his displeasure towards An Yue to some extent, which was enough to make people think carefully about what kind of attitude they should have towards An Yue.
This fact made him dare to promote others in Cijia Palace, which also made the married women not optimistic about his character.
An Yue is now of marriageable age, and Mrs. An agreed to let her follow Princess Qiaoyue into the palace this time, just to show her face in front of all the married women, so as to find a good marriage.
It can be said that An Yue's trip to Cining Palace did not bring any benefits at all, and it completely eliminated her hope of marrying into a high-ranking family.
Mrs. An is not a selfless person. The reason why she loves An Yue so much is because she is sincere, but the more important reason is that An Yue is beautiful enough, which is a big bargaining chip for the An family to climb high.
Now An Yue's bargaining chip is obviously useless, and offending the King Xian will bring trouble to their entire An family.
An Yue was personally escorted back to the An family by Twelve and Twelve. Twelve also told Qi Bao'er that he wanted to explain to An Jia, which frightened several members of the An family to the point of paralysis, including Mrs. An.
Before Anyue had time to complain to Mrs. An for comfort, Mrs. An had already ordered Anyue to be locked up in the woodshed with a cold face.
As long as the unmarried sister of a family with some status makes a mistake that is not unforgivable, she will be punished by copying the family rules or asking her to meditate to copy scriptures, and even more serious punishments include banning her feet or kneeling for several hours.
Ancestral hall.
The reputation of a daughter's family is the most important. If you want your sister to marry well, this reputation must not be ruined.
How unwelcome does one have to be to be imprisoned in a woodshed like this?
In the eyes of the world, if a girl is so disgusted by the elders in the family, how big of a problem is her character?
Moreover, the woodshed is not a safe place. My sister was imprisoned in the woodshed, and her reputation was also damaged.
In other words, generally a woman who is imprisoned in a woodshed means that this person has been abandoned by her family.
Mrs. An's attitude of not saying anything but already saying everything made the people below follow suit.
An Yue always relied on Mrs. An's influence to show off her power in the house. Now that her backer has fallen, all the masters and servants who have been angry with her are not going to vent their anger one after another.
First, the brothers and sisters who had been bullied by her went to the woodshed to look for trouble. After the brothers and sisters vented their anger, the servants did not dare to express their feelings towards the master, but they did not give her a thick quilt in the cold weather.
Things like "accidental" spilling of water on her clothes, rotten food served, etc. are commonplace.
In just three days, An Yue, who was originally pretty and cute, had lost a lot of weight. Her face was no longer the creamy white jade it used to be, but instead was covered with bruises and purples. There was even a scar as long as a Dow finger on her left cheek.
The scar had obviously not been treated and had become swollen and ulcerated, with water overflowing from it.
A small creak of the door opened. The figure lying on the ground with her head tilted to reveal the injured half of her cheek moved slightly, but it was only slightly. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to notice that she had moved just now.
Looking at the whole person, it looks like...
A person dressed as a maid covered her chest like a thief and rushed in after opening the door a little. Fortunately, she was petite and she didn't have to push the door open too much to squeeze in. The sound of pushing the door was not loud.
.
The little maid quickly closed the door and ran to the woman lying on the ground, sat down directly on the ground, and then carefully lifted the woman up and let her lean in her arms.
"Miss, miss, I brought you some food, and also went to the pharmacy to steal some healing medicine. Miss, please eat something to cushion your stomach."
