Wen Yao accepted the teaching humbly and said very modestly: "Yes, what Concubine Xian taught us is that Wen Yao knew she was wrong."
Being so honest made Concubine Xian speechless.
Unexpectedly, Wen Yao followed up and said: "But I also learned from Concubine Xian. Your Majesty and the Queen are both here. Concubine Xian is such a shouter. Those who don't know think that Concubine Xian of the Qing Dynasty is the best." Woolen cloth."
Concubine Xian: "..."
The queen clenched her hands again and stared at her indifferently: "If it weren't for the pain in my hands, I would slap you twice more and still not wake you up. Who gave you the courage to teach the Crown Princess a lesson?"
The emperor had a big head and said: "Queen, it's unbecoming of you. If you have something to say, how can you hit someone?"
The Queen sat next to him, "Yes, it's my fault. I was just too angry and guilty. If I had raised King Xuan myself, I wouldn't have been crippled by Concubine Xian.
Hey, the royal family has very few heirs to begin with, how can a good child be raised by her?
To seize my cousin's wife by force is without courtesy, justice or shame. When my ancestor is about to leave, even the angry coffin boards can't hold him down.
The reason why people are different from animals is that they respect etiquette, justice, integrity, and know the laws and morals. It is a good thing that this matter has not been spread. Otherwise, the imperial censors in the court would come and remonstrate to death, and the emperor would have the reputation of being incompetent in educating his children. Your Majesty. It’s also embarrassing!”
Emperor Xianqing knew the seriousness of the matter. Those imperial censors had a few strong bones and were dedicated to catching the royal family's mistakes. If they found out, they would be annoyed to death.
Seeing the emperor's silence, the queen raised her hand and said, "Come here, please help Prince Jing and his concubine to stand up and offer them seats."
"Thank you, Queen."
As soon as the queen came, she immediately took control of the situation. Concubine Xian wanted to return to her seat, but the queen scolded: "Who told you to sit down? Kneel down, you almost caused the emperor's reputation to be damaged, and caused King Xuan to be reviled by the world. You still have Sitting on your face?”
Concubine Xian felt aggrieved and looked at the emperor acting coquettishly: "Your Majesty, I am too worried about my son. Your Majesty, please calm down. I know I was wrong!"
"vomit……"
Wen Yao couldn't help it. Now that you are old, would it be disgusting to act like a little girl?
Concubine Xian's face instantly turned ferocious: "Wen Yao, you lost your temper in front of the palace. Queen, you also saw it. What does she look like?"
Wen Yao held her chest and said, "I'm sorry, I'm disgusted. Queen, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Are you still disgusting? Do you think I am disgusting? Your Majesty, look at how brave she is. She dares to humiliate me. You have to make the decision for me!"
The queen scolded Wen Yao with a look. She is the emperor's concubine after all. If you disgust her so much, the emperor can't bear it.
Wen Yao innocently said: "Ms. Concubine Xian, it's okay. I suspect that I am pregnant and making me happy. It's really not because you are disgusting. I really can't hold it back. You are also a woman, can you understand?"
Queen: "..."
Concubine Xian: "..."
Excited? Is Wen Yao pregnant?
The emperor couldn't help but care about her: "Is she really pregnant? Come here, let the hospital take a good look at it. Heirs are the top priority, so there can be no mistakes!"
"Impossible!" Concubine Xian shouted: "She has only been married for a few days? How can she be pregnant? Your Majesty, don't be deceived by her!"
Wen Yao was surprised and said: "You can't be pregnant? I don't know. It's my first time getting married. I really don't understand. I just heard that people can't help but feel sick when they are overjoyed. I just doubted it. I didn't say that I would definitely She’s just pregnant!”
Concubine Xian's face was so angry that she was deformed. She clearly did it on purpose. Who didn't know that she would be so happy after being pregnant for more than a month?
But Wen Yao said she didn't know, what could she do to her?
She just got married and doesn’t understand pregnancy, but she understands!
If you really know everything, like a senior pregnant woman, then you will have a problem.
The queen couldn't help but smile. This narrow-minded person did it on purpose, right?
Wen Yao spreads his hands, I don’t know what’s wrong?
The queen scolded Concubine Xian: "Concubine Xian, you have lost your composure. Please remember that Wen Yao is the eldest concubine of Prince Jing's palace. She is of the same rank as you. You are just a concubine, not a noble concubine. When you see her in the future, be polite."
"
Wen Yao asked in surprise: "Does the Crown Princess have a rank? How many ranks? Forgive me for being ignorant, can I be on an equal footing with Concubine Xian?"
The queen explained her confusion: "Of course the imperial concubine has a rank. Like Concubine Xian, she is of the third rank. This is listed in the Ministry of Etiquette. However, the imperial concubine has no salary and is just a false position.
When Hengyu inherits the throne of the palace, you will be Princess Jing, a rank higher than Concubine Xian."
Wen Yao nodded, feeling that she should understand this knowledge, it was very useful. If she had known that she was on the same level as Concubine Xian, she would not have tolerated her.
The queen continued: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian and Prince Xuan behave badly and bribe other people's maids to exchange marriages. I think they should be severely punished.
Today, King Xuan can ignore etiquette and conspire to rob other people's wives. Will he be even more unscrupulous in the future, bullying men and dominating women, and ignoring moral laws?"
King Xuan knelt down and begged for mercy: "I know I made a mistake. Queen mother and father, please forgive me this time. I will definitely not do it again."
Emperor Xianqing: "The Queen is right, Concubine Xian, you have taught a good son!"
"Come here and announce the decree. Concubine Xian behaves badly and is demoted to the rank of concubine."
Concubine Xian felt like she was struck by lightning: "Your Majesty, you can't..."
The queen immediately scolded her: "Concubine Xian, you are so courageous. How dare you disobey the emperor's will? It seems that I am too indulgent to you. Your Majesty, I am going to rectify the atmosphere in the harem today and punish Concubine Xian to be grounded!"
"
Yes, just a few days after I came out, I was grounded again.
Emperor Xianqing nodded: "The queen makes the decision."
Concubine Xian wanted to cry but had no tears. Not only was she demoted to a concubine, but she was also grounded. She was so miserable!
King Xuan was so frightened that he did not dare to say a word of mercy, otherwise he would be like the concubine Xian, who was banned from entering the palace for the second time.
Emperor Xianqing ignored him intentionally or unintentionally, and said to Wen Yao: "Mrs. Wen, I know you have been wronged, but the overall situation is more important. King Xuan is not in good health, so don't worry about it."
Wen Yao lowered his head: "Wen Yao doesn't dare, the emperor has betrayed Wen Yao."
If she wants to argue, the emperor must be willing!
The last step was to punish Zhihua, and the queen directly said: "This maid dares to betray and frame her master. She is a treasonous person and should be put to death."
Zhihua was shocked and crawled to Wen Yao on his knees to beg for mercy: "Miss, I know I was wrong. I have served you for so many years. Please save my life!"
Yuan Rui kicked her out: "Don't touch Yaoyao with your dirty hands, do you still have the nerve to plead for mercy?"
Wen Yao was equally indifferent, her eyes were cold and calm, "Zhihua, you brought this on yourself. Although I don't know why you betrayed me, it doesn't matter now. You have no right to resent others. It's all your own fault to grow up."
Learn a lesson."
"Miss..."
Zhou Liangyu waved his hand, and the eunuch dragged her away, making a fuss to the emperor. Even if she died several times, it would not be enough.
