However, Yuan Qingling only drank millet porridge and did not eat osmanthus cake. She usually does not eat sweet things in the morning.
The sweet-scented osmanthus cake was brought up just like this and hung there, untouched.
After drinking the millet porridge, Yuan Qingling stood up and said, "Second Madam, I'm sorry!"
The second old lady said kindly, "Go quickly, your father is waiting for you."
Yuan Qingling nodded and walked out.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she heard Luan's sarcastic voice, "Why are you showing off your prestige? It's not like we don't know what her situation is like in the palace. Without the support from our palace, she might not even be able to drink millet porridge."
I have heard about it. The prince beat and scolded her. Did you see her forehead? There are still wounds. They must have been beaten by Prince Chu. It has been a year since the marriage and the marriage has not been consummated.
, and I’m not afraid of people’s jokes.”
Yuan Lunwen's daughter-in-law Cui Shi said: "I heard that the marriage was consummated. However, I heard that it was due to pressure from the Queen Mother that King Chu took medicine to consummate the marriage. It shows that King Chu is really not interested in her."
"Okay, stop talking. It's just what the people outside say. Why are we still following the booing? Let's all disperse." The second old lady said justice, but there was a bit of happiness on her face.
She had to take medicine to consummate the marriage, which shows how much the King of Chu didn't want to see her.
The funny thing is that she thought she had consummated her marriage with the King of Chu, so the King of Chu looked at her differently and came back to pretend to be a princess.
Superficial and ignorant, stupid and vulgar.
Yuan Qing had just reached the hairpin level and knew a little about what was going on in the boudoir. Hearing these words, he frowned and immediately chased after her.
She stopped Yuan Qingling immediately and tugged on her sleeve roughly, "Why are you so useless? You are already a princess, and you are not liked by the prince. Everyone is laughing at you."
Yuan Qingling shook her off, her eyes dim, "What does my joke have to do with you?"
"Of course it does matter. Everyone knows that my eldest sister is so useless. When I laugh at you, I am also laughing at me. Can't you try to live up to your expectations?" Yuan Qingping said angrily.
Yuan Qingling looked at the girl who was only fifteen years old. She still didn't know that things in the world were not entirely up to her. Will she definitely get what she wants if she strives for it?
She didn't say anything and just walked past her.
Yuan Qing stomped his feet in anger. He had never seen such a useless person.
Yuan Qingling went to the door of the study and waited patiently. The boy beside her was already waiting. When he saw her coming, he bowed and said: "The Marquis is waiting for the princess inside. Princess, please come in."
Yuan Qingling nodded, told Lu Ya to stay outside, and then pushed the door open and went in.
The light in the room was not very bright, and a whole row of bookshelves stood against the east wall of the room. A middle-aged man wearing black satin clothes stood in front of the bookshelf, holding a book in his hand, with an expression on his face.
Very impatient.
His eyes were sharp and fierce, his brows were furrowed, his chin was slightly raised, the arcs on his face were very clear and cold, the bags under his eyes were droopy, and the whole person looked old and cold.
Seeing her come in, he quickly put the book on the bookshelf and said coldly: "Why did it take so long?"
He quickly walked to the official hat chair behind the desk and sat down, placing his hands on the table, as if he was asking questions.
"Drinking some porridge outside!" Yuan Qingling said, walking over slowly. It seemed that since she entered the gate of the Hou Mansion, he had been waiting for her to come over.
Jingwai looked very impatient, "What kind of porridge are you drinking? I wonder if I have something important to do with you? Let me ask you, have you ever been in the palace?"
Yuan Qingling didn't like this tone very much. He frowned slightly, but still said patiently: "Yes."
"Who summoned you to the palace?" Jinghou asked. He knew that no one in the palace liked Yuan Qingling. Even the Queen Mother was looking at King Chu's face to avoid giving her a cold face, but generally no one would
She was specially summoned.
"Your Majesty!" Yuan Qing said.
Jinghou stood up suddenly and asked, "The Supreme Emperor?"
He looked quite shocked. This was almost the last person to summon her. The Supreme Emperor didn't care about the matter at all.
"Why did he summon you to the palace?"
"Attendance!"
Jingwai's expression changed slightly and became a little more relaxed, "The Emperor actually asked you to serve on the sick? Then you have to seize the opportunity and behave well in front of the Emperor to make him like you."
Yuan Qingling felt uncomfortable seeing the way his anger subsided and then immediately started scheming, and said: "I can't be sure, I offended the Supreme Emperor, and the Supreme Emperor kicked me out of the palace."
Quietly, he slapped the table and said angrily: "Why are you so worthless? You have ruined this rare opportunity. What use do you think you have? Why did you offend the Supreme Emperor? Did you arrange the assignment in front of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor?
Princess Qi?"
"That's right!" Yuan Qingling didn't want to explain too much, she was already heartbroken. This family was cold and mean everywhere, and she didn't want to stay for a long time.
Jinghou said angrily: "You dared to get into trouble with Princess Qi because you had the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. I really believed you wrong. If you hadn't said that you were sure that King Chu would love you, how could I have planned a marriage for you?"
Entering the palace? You still offended the Chu family."
Yuan Qingling reminded, "I came back with Lu Ya. Lu Ya has received instructions from the prince. Everything I say and do in my parents' home, or everything my parents say and do to me, must be reported to the prince. It's better for my father to be cautious in what he says.
, she’s right outside.”
"You..." Jinghou really wanted to spit a mouthful of blood on her face. She invested her capital wrongly and regretted it too late. Now she has offended Princess Qi in the palace. Doesn't the Chu family regard him as a thorn in their side?
He said he was seeking the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. In fact, he knew in his heart that it would be good if he could keep the position of Minister of War. But now it seems that he cannot keep it.
"You will go to Prince Qi's Mansion immediately tomorrow to apologize to Princess Qi." Jingwai ordered. Because Lu Ya was outside, he lowered his voice a little.
Yuan Qingling shook her head, "I can't possibly apologize to her."
Waiting for the anger to come up slowly, his eyes almost burst into flames, "Do you still want to live? Do you know the consequences of offending the Chu family? Don't say that you are just a disgraced princess now, forget it.
The Chu family is not something you can afford to offend because of King Chu's favor."
Yuan Qingling didn't want to hear any more and bowed and said: "I'm going to see my grandmother first. When I come out this time, I told the prince that I'm going to check on my grandmother's condition."
After saying that, she turned around and went out.
Jinghou was furious, "Stop!"
Yuan Qingling seemed not to hear it, and walked out of the door and said to Luya: "Let's go, I want to visit my grandmother."
Lu Ya looked inside. The roar just now was frightening. Looking at the princess's face, she seemed not to care about anything.
Luya accompanied Yuan Qingling back to Jinghou Mansion several times, and she knew that her attitude towards the people in the palace was very respectful, because the Hou Mansion would support her and give her money to improve her status in the palace and win people's hearts.
But why does the princess not care today?
Yuan Qingling followed the memory of the original owner and came to the old lady's yard.
This is the area closest to the wall in the backyard. It is the cleanest and most remote place in the entire Hou Mansion.
The old lady who was once the head of the county with a prominent family background and had a decisive and decisive approach to killing could now only sit in a corner and wait quietly for death.
