"Sikong Qingying, a civilian girl, has met the Queen Mother."
As soon as she entered Changle Palace, Sikong Qingying noticed that several eyes were falling on her, and there was even a small amount of discussion around her.
Some are curious, some are watching the show, and some are resentful.
She had stood for a long time, and her legs were extremely sore. Now that she was doing a big salute, her bent legs began to tremble a little. However, the Queen Mother did not even say that she was flat, so she just let him stand like that. It was only two blinks of an eye.
As soon as his knees softened, he fell to his knees.
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, as if she had just seen her and said, "Is this from General Yin's house? Since you like kneeling so much, just kneel down and answer."
I don't know if it was because she knelt down too hard and didn't eat lunch, but Sikong Qingying felt her stomach became more and more uncomfortable.
There was an indescribable pain, a downward pain, which made her face turn pale and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
Faced with the Queen Mother's difficulty, she could only reply: "Yes."
The Queen Mother looked at Princess Mingfang, and saw that Princess Mingfang was looking at Sikong Qingying with hatred, clutching the handkerchief in her hand with both hands, and even the delicate handkerchief was almost torn by her.
"Raise your head and let Aijia see what the famous person in Beijing looks like who can confuse the prince-in-law and the charming general?"
"What the Queen Mother said is wrong."
Sikong Qingying endured the discomfort in her body, raised her head, her brows were calm, and she slowly said: "Most of the rumors in the market are false but not true, and they are difficult to reach into the palace of elegance. The Queen Mother's honor to the world is beyond words. This should not be allowed to happen."
Such rumors have polluted my ears."
Her appearance was somewhat beyond the Queen Mother's expectations. The Queen Mother thought she would see a woman who was too charming to be seen on stage, but she did not expect to see a girl with a face as pure as ice and snow, with clear eyes and a calm expression.
The Queen Mother had been fighting in the palace for so many years, so her judgment on people was very accurate. She also believed in Sikong Qingying a little bit in her heart. However, it was also true that Sikong Qingying offended her beloved granddaughter.
"By saying that, do you mean that those rumors are just groundless rumors? You did not have an affair with the consort, nor did you seduce the general and the sixth prince?"
Sikong Qingying bit her lip. It was a fact that she had an affair with Yuchi Weiran, and it was also a fact that she had a physical relationship with Yin Ziheng. She could not refute it.
But...how can this matter still be related to Mr. Liu?
If you really want to inflict a crime, why bother?
She remained silent.
Seeing her like this, the Queen Mother snorted coldly, and the slightest favorable impression of her that she had before disappeared immediately.
"According to our laws in the capital, promiscuous women must be dipped in pig cages or given dove wine as a warning." The Queen Mother wanted to scare Sikong Qingying, but the pain in Sikong Qingying's stomach and legs got worse.
The Queen Mother thought that Sikong Qingying was scared, so she raised her voice and said: "However, for the sake of General Yin, I will spare you this time."
Hui, if you do it again next time, Aijia will definitely kill you, do you hear me?"
"The daughter of the people heard it." Sikong Qingying kowtowed. It was true that she had never been hungry before, but this time she felt particularly uncomfortable. She hoped that the Queen Mother would let her go as soon as possible.
"Grandma Huang, don't be angry. This kind of person is not worthy of your anger, Grandma Huang." There was a pretty, young-looking girl in pink attire, holding the Queen Mother's arm and acting coquettishly towards the Queen Mother at Princess Mingfang's signal.
Let's talk.
After she spoke, Princess Mingfang also responded: "Yes, Imperial Grandma, didn't Sister-in-law Mei say that she had a scented tea and plum blossom banquet in Changxin Palace? We don't want to keep Sister-in-law Mei waiting for too long."
The Queen Mother held Princess Mingfang's hand and patted the back of her hand: "My little Fang'er still knows how to love people. You are just too easy to bully. No matter how low-minded people can step on you, this
But no, we have to be tough. If anyone bullies you in the future, you must tell the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will not spare her." The Queen Mother had something to say, speaking to Princess Mingfang, but she stared at Sikong sharply.
Clear shadow.
Sikong Qingying breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Has this matter been revealed like this? Just being forced to stand and kneel, the situation was already much better than she had expected.
For the rest of the time, the Queen Mother ignored her and let her kneel. After talking to Mingfang and the others for a while, she planned to go to Concubine Mei's palace.
Everyone left as soon as they were told. Mingfang supported the Queen Mother and was surrounded by the maids and left Changle Palace.
Just after walking out of Changle Palace, Mingfang suddenly said: "Grandma Huang, this is Mrs. Yin's first time entering the palace. We can't neglect her. Why don't we also take her to Mei Fei's sister-in-law to see her?"
The Queen Mother nodded and smiled: "You are really kind-hearted." Then she ordered the maid next to her to call Sikong Qingying.
