Princess Duan: Of course I am afraid, but I cannot admit that it is not the case.
At least not in front of Prince Xian.
He forced out a flattering smile and said, "Prince Xian is joking. This is the first time that I and Prince Xian have met. How can I say that I'm afraid?"
Princess Binghua: Then don’t shake your legs.
Prince Xian above smiled, but that smile seemed a bit off, and everyone only heard her lazy voice coming out again.
"Although I, Prince Duan, are of different rank, Prince Duan is a relative of the emperor, so there is no need for Princess Duan to call herself that."
The first wife calls herself "concubine" to others. This is the modesty that a person with a higher status than her husband should have.
But in the era of imperial power, the royal family was ultimately more dominant than others. At least in terms of obvious status, royal relatives were ultimately more powerful/noble than ordinary people.
If Princess Duan didn't have some evil intentions in her heart, there would be no need for her to call herself "concubine" in front of Qi Bao'er, whose surname is Wang.
What's the difference between this and not asking for help?!
Princess Duan's expression froze, and she could not reply for a moment.
She was not stupid, but as soon as Qi Baoer finished speaking, she immediately realized that she seemed to have done something stupid.
Although Prince Duan usually ignored her, he cared about face the most. If Prince Duan knew that Princess Duan not only knelt in front of the wise king to pay his respects, but also derogated herself and called herself "concubine" in front of the wise king.
?
Princess Duan suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Qi Baoer saw the fear in Princess Duan's eyes and understood that she was trying to figure out what stupid thing she had done today.
Without giving Princess Duan more time to think, she added, "I passed by the door just now and heard that the princess seemed to be preparing to help Jun Jingyang divorce his wife?"
As expected, Princess Duan was still a bit confused [from this we can also see how much of a threat Prince Duan is to her], she nodded and said almost without thinking: "Ms. Liu has been married to the prince for seven years and has nothing to do.
Come on, we in charge of the Prince's Mansion didn't even think about divorcing her until now, and we have already given the Liu Mansion enough face."
After she finished speaking, she realized what she had said and in front of whom. Her expression suddenly changed again. She raised her eyes and looked at Qi Bao'er with a worried look, but not fear.
That's right, Liu Minmin really had nothing to do for seven years. This is an ironclad fact. Princess Duan used this reason to divorce the Liu family as her legitimate mother. It can be said that no one said she was wrong wherever she went.
Qi Bao'er also nodded in agreement, "Prince Duan's Mansion is really benevolent and righteous."
Princess Duan looked relaxed, and her eyes couldn't help but look in Liu Minmin's direction. There was a hint of pride in her eyes, but when she looked again, there was only unbearable and distressed expression on her face.
Just looking at her like this, who can help but say that Princess Duan is not a good mother-in-law.
Liu Minmin's whole body was tense and her face was tense. She almost jumped up and went up to have a few rounds with Princess Duan again.
It was Princess Binghua who quickly held her down, shook her head towards her, and mouthed two words: 'Peace of mind.'
Due to the angle, Princess Binghua did not see the action of Princess Binghua holding down Liu Minmin. From her position, she could only see that Liu Minmin was anxious and seemed to want to stand up, and then she forced herself to sit back down as if she had some scruples.
.
With Liu Minmin's madness just now, Princess Duan was really afraid that Liu Minmin would shame her in front of Prince Xian and Princess Binghua. Now that Liu Minmin can calm down, all Princess Duan can think of is Xian who is sitting on the throne.
Prince.
Although Prince Xian has never formed any political parties or selfish interests, she holds so many rights and things that she can be said to be the most powerful official in the court without forming any political alliances; and Liu Minmin’s father
Taking a job in a worker's household, presumably he was afraid of offending the wise king and causing disadvantage to Mr. Liu.
It's okay if you have any concerns.
Princess Duan doesn't care what Liu Minmin knows, as long as she doesn't yell outside now, she will wait until she returns to the house...
What is there to fear about those who are about to die?
At this time, Qi Baoer suddenly stood up and took a step forward to help Princess Duan himself, and continued to hold her to sit on the opposite side.
The whole incident not only confused Princess Duan, but also the people around her were confused.
Didn't you just look like you were asking for guilt? Why are you so polite all of a sudden?
Liu Minmin's expression did not change, but the two hands shrunk in her wide sleeves were tightly clenched, and she seemed to be unconscious even when her nails dug deep into her palms.
It seemed like she was really going to die today.
I just hope that my father will not be implicated by her.
Qi Baoer propped up her chin and looked at Princess Duan with a troubled expression, "Princess, don't look at the fact that this king is in charge of the Ministry of War and there are still soldiers in his hands. He seems to be very prosperous, but she doesn't know the difficulty of this king."
The jade-like little hand stretched out and handed it to Princess Duan. She opened her paws and started to point one by one. "In charge of the Ministry of War, I have to be responsible for the soldiers everywhere. I should make them sacrifice as little as possible."
Sacrifice, the less injured you can be, the less injured you will be, and also their food, drink, clothing, use, transportation, etc."
"People have carried their burdens forward for us, hitting arrows and hitting swords. That's why we can live our own little life so peacefully in Beijing."
"Princess Duan, you are also a kind-hearted person. You said that it is unreasonable and ungrateful for us not to do our best to protect our people."
Princess Duan: "..."
No, what does this have to do with her?
Those people joined the army, shouldn't they have to guard the border and serve the country?!
But with Qi Bao'er's heavy burdens and kind intentions in front of him, and the ungratefulness at the end; if Princess Duan said 'of course' now, wouldn't she be taking the ungratefulness that Prince Xian said in reality?!
He could only smile and nod, and also prayed for the treasure: "The wise prince is benevolent and virtuous. If the Ministry of War has the wise prince and you are in charge, the soldiers of the world will be blessed."
Qi Baoer waved his hands very humbly, "This is not worthy of praise from the princess. It is what I should do. I think Prince Duan understands these things."
These words made Princess Duan lose her temper again.
First of all, the two of them are not familiar with each other at all, so they can't talk about it, not to mention the topic is very sensitive;
Secondly, we have to talk about the injustice to women in the inner house in this era; these women who are destined to live in the inner house for the rest of their lives are not allowed or allowed to have even the slightest contact with these things and the affairs of the court since they were young.
Regarding relationships, it’s not that they are stupid, it’s that they have never been exposed to it, so how can they possibly understand it?
So what Qi Baoer mentioned about the Ministry of War, what happened with swords and swords, especially when it came to King Duan; although what Qi Baoer said was just plain language and had no hidden meaning at all, but for someone who has only been for the whole life,
For Princess Duan, who was fighting in the inner house, it was nothing but talk of the day.
If you don’t understand me at all, how can you let someone answer the call?
Qi Baoer also saw the circles in the eyes of Princess Duan and Princess Duan. She was silent and said directly without going around any more:
"I heard that Dr. Liu has recently been researching a sleeve arrow that can be fired continuously. I have seen the drawings submitted by Mr. Liu and have high hopes for him.
I hope that Liu Liangzhong can make the sleeve arrow as soon as possible without any distractions, so that all the soldiers of Qilin Kingdom can have one in their hands as soon as possible."
She looked at Princess Duan with a smile and asked, "I don't know what the king means, but does the princess understand?"
Princess Duan doesn’t understand what the sleeve arrow is.
But she was not a fool, so she naturally understood the meaning of what Prince Xian said.
Prince Xian, you are trying to protect Liu Minmin, a traitor, because of Dr. Liu!!
How can that work?
She has even said that she wants to divorce Liu Minmin. If she doesn't divorce, how can she maintain her dignity as a princess?
