The regent's words did not surprise everyone present at all.
If he had a little respect for the so-called rules of the royal family, he would not be so alone long ago.
On the other hand, Concubine Xiao Shu was so choked that her pretty face turned pale.
Seeing that her daughter was about to get angry again, she took the lead and said before Xunjiuer exploded:
"I... will not embarrass a junior, but if the regent puts this useless person in the same position as Princess Jiu, wouldn't he be embarrassing Princess Jiu?"
After all, the fact that Qin Jiaoxi was banned from the Qin Prime Minister's Palace for several years without learning or skills was not done by her, Concubine Xiao Shu, nor was it done by Xun Jiu'er.
The Holy One wanted to bestow Qin Jiaoxi with a title, and she had nothing to say, but if the regent wanted Qin Jiaoxi to sit with Xunjiu'er, he would be embarrassing a junior.
How could Meng Yinqin not know the real reason why Qin Jiaoxi was banned for five years?
At this moment, it is even more impossible for anyone to embarrass Qin Jiaoxi.
Then he glanced at Concubine Xiao Shu and said coldly: "What if I want to embarrass her?"
Concubine Xiao Shu immediately said angrily: "Meng Yinqin, don't go too far! The royal rules are not made for you alone!"
Meng Yinqin's eyes were calm: "Since Concubine Shu must discuss the rules with me, okay!"
"Princess Jiu ignored my order a few days ago and acted willfully and injured Duwei Chen, barging into the guest room of the side courtyard and hurting others. After being ordered by my king to place Lengxiangyuan under house arrest, she violated the rules of the mansion and left privately, and even came here
Participate in the Summer Solstice Palace Banquet!”
"I dare to ask Concubine Shu, how should I respond to Princess Jiu's behavior?"
"You keep saying royal rules and regulations, but this is what Concubine Shu calls the rules? Are my royal rules set for you alone?"
This is the first time in more than ten years that the ministers have heard the regent say so many words in one breath.
Moreover, he asked the Holy Emperor's most beloved concubine three sharp questions in a row plus the original rhetorical question.
The air in the entire Ming Pavilion instantly froze, and no one dared to take a deep breath.
At this moment, the voice of the little eunuch suddenly came from outside singing: "The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"
When Meng Yinxun came in, he saw Concubine Xiao Shu and Xun Jiu'er standing aside. He was stunned: "What is this, Concubine Ai?"
Concubine Liu, who held her chin and watched a good show, was still not satisfied. She clapped her hands and said with a sweet smile: "Your Majesty, you came just in time. Just now, Concubine Shu and the regent were about to fight... Tsk, no, it's just for a seat, really.
!”
The queen's sharp eyes saw the veiled girl next to the regent, who was about the same height as Qin Jiaoyue. Then she thought about Concubine Xiao Shu's strange behavior before leaving, and she instantly understood something.
Seeing Concubine Xiao Shu's beautiful eyes filled with tears, she knelt down on the pilgrimage with aggrievedness and forbearance: "Your Majesty, I have offended the regent by talking too much today! I will punish myself with three cups of wine!"
Naturally, Meng Yinqin would not lose his own face in public.
Then, he raised his chin towards Xunjiu'er and said, "Why don't you come over and sit down?"
After entering the government for more than a year, this was the first time that Xunjiuer faced such a cold attitude from the regent.
A stream of air rushed from her feet to her forehead: "No need! This princess never likes to fight with others!"
"What the imperial concubine said just now is right. It's just a seat. Since Princess Meng'an wants it, I will let it go!"
After saying this, Xunjiu'er turned around and strode towards the eighth princess's seat.
She didn't believe that the regent, who was quite fond of her character at the beginning, would be indifferent to this.
