Chapter 222 I hope Zhou Mu will inherit the throne
"Zhou Mu, you are so brave, how dare you do the following!" Princess Duanqing was angry and wanted to start a fight again.
But she remembered in time that Emperor Cheng De was at the scene, and her arrogance suddenly weakened again.
"What I'm telling you is true. It's not because Her Royal Highness the Princess is from the royal family. Some truths can't be told." Zhou Mu's cold eyes met Princess Shang Duanqing's.
Princess Duanqing is the beloved daughter of the Queen Mother. Zhou Mu ridiculed Princess Duanqing in front of her. How could the Queen Mother endure it?
She slapped her palm on the sandalwood table and said, "Presumptuous!!"
Zhou Mu looked at the Queen Mother and saw her angry face. His expression was frank: "What I said is the truth. How can I be so presumptuous? Just because Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is the Queen Mother's daughter, I can't tell the truth." The Queen Mother was so angry that her throat was filled with smoke. In all the years she had been immersed in the harem, she had never seen someone as ignorant as Zhou Mu.
Didn't Zhou Mu point at her nose and say that she, the queen mother, is also incapable of educating her daughter?
He is just a third-grade official, but he dares to commit the following crimes
Even if the emperor valued Zhou Mu, there was no way the emperor would give her face for Zhou Mu.
"Come here, take Zhou Mu and shut his mouth for Aijia!!" The Queen Mother shouted loudly.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Chengde suddenly spoke: "In my opinion, although Zimo's words may not sound good, they are also true. Yongjia is indeed a bit arrogant. Otherwise, he would not have wanted to ruin the evening with hot water at the food festival.
Yan's appearance. This kind of behavior is not only arrogant and willful, but also vicious and vicious!"
As he spoke, his eyes swept over the Queen Mother and Princess Duanqing.
The expressions of Princess Duanqing and the Queen Mother changed at the same time. They didn't know that this was happening.
Furthermore, how did Emperor Chengde know that this happened at the food festival?
"Impossible, Yongjia would not do such a thing!" Princess Duanqing subconsciously defended Princess Yongjia.
The Queen Mother agreed: "Yes, how could Yongjia do such a thing? Someone must have spread rumors. The emperor must not listen to greedy rumors."
"There was evidence that Hu Die was outside at that time. Please call Hu Die in, and you will know after asking." Gu Xiyan said, and added: "Your Majesty might as well invite Princess Yongjia to come and question her, and then you will know who Princess Yongjia was on that day.
Do you want to use hot water to ruin the appearance of a civilian girl?"
Emperor Chengde immediately agreed to Gu Xiyan's request and not only brought in Hu Die, but also invited Princess Yongjia who was wearing a curtain hat.
After Hu Die entered, he told everything about the situation at that time.
Emperor Chengde looked at Princess Yongjia and asked: "Yongjia, are Hu Die's words true?"
Princess Yongjia clenched her fists. She wanted to say it was not true, but lying in front of the emperor was deceiving the emperor. She did not have the courage.
She stammered and replied: "I, I was just confused at the time..."
"A moment of confusion can ruin a girl's appearance! Isn't Princess Yongjia's behavior vicious and lacking in tutoring? If Hu Die hadn't reacted quickly and poured the cup of hot water on Xi Yan's face, Princess Yongjia would have
You can easily get over it with just one sentence, 'I was confused'!" Zhou Mu interrupted Princess Yongjia's defense.
Thinking that Gu Xiyan's face was almost ruined by Princess Yongjia, he felt burned inside and wished he could cut Princess Yongjia into pieces with a thousand knives.
Princess Duanqing was slapped in the face again by Zhou Mu's words "I don't have a tutor", but she couldn't refute even though Emperor Shengde was here.
The Queen Mother did not expect this to happen. Originally, they wanted to cause trouble for Gu Xiyan, but this time, they were the ones who were wronged by Gu Xiyan and General Zhou Mu.
Princess Yongjia was so angry that Zhou Mu said "vicious" that she burst into tears.
She impulsively wanted to ruin Gu Xiyan's appearance, wasn't it because of him Zhou Mu
"Master Zhou, I, I love you so much, how can you be so cruel to me!"
As soon as Princess Yongjia opened her mouth, Zhou Mu immediately stayed away from her. His evasive movements were very eye-catching.
"I, Zhou Mu, only like Xiyan in my life, and I have no luck with other women. Furthermore, my marriage to Xiyan was personally gifted by His Majesty, but Princess Yongjia is spreading rumors that Your Majesty wants the Princess to be my equal wife."
, This not only harms my reputation, but also disregards His Majesty’s holy decree, which is a crime of great disrespect!!”
As soon as Zhou Mu said this, Princess Duanqing was greatly frightened. She quickly stood up and pleaded with the unpredictable Emperor Chengde: "Brother, Yongjia is still young and acted recklessly. She knows she is wrong. Please ask the emperor."
Brother, please be patient and spare her."
The Queen Mother also spoke up: "Yes, Yongjia is still just a child. If a child makes a mistake, we adults should be more tolerant..."
"Yongjia is not young. He has already reached the hairpin age. He has reached the age to discuss marriage. He cannot reveal this matter by saying that he is still young." Emperor Chengde looked at Princess Yongjia: "Yongjia listens to the order!"
Princess Yongjia trembled and knelt down slightly, knowing that she was going to be punished.
"Starting from today, Princess Yongjia will be banned for three months, and her salary and food will be deducted for one year."
Emperor Chengde gave a verbal instruction, and Princess Duanqing breathed a sigh of relief.
The Queen Mother's expression also softened slightly.
Both the Queen Mother and her daughter knew that Emperor Chengde was ruthless, but this time they only imposed a grounding and a fine, which is already a great kindness from the emperor.
Fortunately, the title was not revoked, otherwise Yongjia would have become the first person since the founding of the Jin Dynasty.
This is the blessing among misfortunes.
In fact, Duan Qingchang's worry was not without reason. Emperor Chengde did have such thoughts for a moment, but when the words came to his lips, he still came around.
It's not that he is soft-hearted, but that he has higher expectations for Zi Mo.
Zhou Mu's true identity must be announced by February next year at the latest. He doesn't want to make too many enemies before Zi Mo reveals his true identity.
Behind the Queen Mother is the Wang family. The Wang family has become quite powerful in recent years. He does not want the Wang family to become a hindrance to Zimo's progress.
He has higher requirements for Zi Mo. If possible, he would like Zi Mo to be the prince and inherit the throne.
Therefore, it is not good for Zimo to have too many enemies now.
Princess Yongjia also breathed a sigh of relief and stood up after thanking her.
The Queen Mother did not expect that she would leave the palace because she wanted to cause trouble for Gu Xiyan, but in the end she was defeated by Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu.
Looking at the friendly way Emperor Cheng De treated Zhou Mu, she knew that Emperor Cheng De valued Zhou Mu very much.
When the Queen Mother saw Emperor Cheng De getting up, she thought he was going back to the palace, so she asked, "Aijia, please go back to the palace with the emperor."
"My son is going to Zimo's house to sit for a while, and he can't stay with his mother." Emperor Chengde did not hide his whereabouts.
The Queen Mother was secretly frightened, but she did not show it on her face.
She knew before that Emperor Cheng De valued Zhou Mu, but she didn't expect that Emperor Cheng De liked Zhou Mu more than she thought.
After Zhou Mu followed Emperor Chengde and left the Xuanchanghou Mansion, Princess Duanqing said to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother also saw it, and the royal brother values Zhou Mu very much."
She has never seen the emperor's brother rely so much on a person, and even Wan Qinghou, a close minister, has never been so favored by Emperor Chengde.
"Who is Zhou Mu? We have to find out the details of Zhou Mu." The Queen Mother felt heavy.
She knew that Emperor Chengde was still merciful today, but Zhou Mu was a great threat, but they didn't even know who Zhou Mu was.
I took medicine and slept for more than ten hours yesterday. My fever went away today and I feel a lot better. I feel that if you are sick, you should sleep well. If you sleep well, you will recover faster.
