Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me

Chapter 76: The Concubines' Ways of Dealing with the World

Concubine Qi turned her head to look at Shen Xiyue and slowly reproached her: "Look at you, you can't hide your thoughts anymore, can you?"

Shen Xiyue was shocked. Her thoughts... her thoughts were to use Qi Xun as bait at the snow viewing banquet to lure Gu Zhilan out, and finally bring down the Minister of Works Gu...

How come Concubine Qi actually found out?

"Oh, you were young and impetuous at that time and insisted on getting a divorce. Do you regret it now?"

Concubine Qi glanced at her self-righteously and chuckled, "Girl, I've seen that you didn't come to the palace to see me today. Well, well, since you still have Xun'er in your heart and you've come to me for help, I'll help you this time!"

She didn't care about or know anything about the previous dynasty, but King Yao had told her about wanting to win over the Shen family's military power... She couldn't think of any other way, but since Princess Huayang still had feelings for Xun'er, she had to try to win her over for Yao'er!

"Um... yes, your Majesty has a keen eye..." Shen Xiyue immediately breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her eyes to hide all her emotions: "Thank you for your concern, your Majesty."

When Concubine Qi saw that she didn't even raise her head, she was even more certain that Shen Xiyue must be regretting her divorce from Qi Xun. In addition to trying to gain military power for her son, she immediately felt a sense of righteousness, as if "it is better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage."

He even became a backer for Shen Xiyue:

"Xiyue, since you are going to hold a snow-viewing banquet, make it grand! Invite all the young men and women of some status in the capital to come and have them be witnesses for you and Xun'er. Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to gossip about you behind your back. I will definitely ask them all to come and support you!"

Shen Xiyue was even more overjoyed. She had wanted the scene to be as lively as possible. With the big statue of Concubine Qi, it was like having a stage. All the actors would come, and there would be even more people watching the show.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Xiyue thanked her again, with just the right amount of joy in her tone.

Concubine Qi giggled again, and as she laughed she suddenly remembered something. Her expression suddenly changed, and she sighed, "Xun'er is also a miserable child. He died at such a young age."

"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences." Shen Xiyue followed Concubine Qi's words and gave a gentle advice.

She knew that the Imperial Concubine must be feeling bitter about the fact that the Marquis of Qi took the blame for the Prince of Yao. But no matter how bitter it was, what could she do? The Prince of Yao had caused such a terrible disaster, and if he wanted to save himself and get out of it, he would have to push everyone around him out to take the blame.

"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about it." Fortunately, Concubine Qi also knew that these words should not be said too deeply, and she quickly stopped crying. Her eyes became slightly more eager: "Xiyue, you have to treat Xun'er well in the future, understand?"

Shen Xiyue was sarcastic in her heart. What Concubine Qi said was really interesting. Qi Xun's misery was his own fault. It was not caused by her, Shen Xiyue. Why was it her turn to make up for it?

But now, no matter what Concubine Qi said, she agreed to it all: "Yes."

After Concubine Qi finished speaking, she seemed to relax all of a sudden, with a look of innocence like a little girl: "I knew you were a sensible person."

Afterwards, Concubine Qi took Shen Xiyue aside and talked for a long time, giving her many instructions, telling her that the next time she enters the Qi family, she must be obedient, regard her husband as her God, and be filial to her mother-in-law... before she asked someone to send her out of the palace.

......

When Shen Xiyue walked out of Yiku Palace, Concubine Fang was still kneeling at the gate.

Even though his whole body was on the verge of collapse, there was not a trace of resentment on his face, and he looked extremely pious.

Shen Xiyue felt a little sorry for him, so she turned around and asked the maid who sent her out, "How long will Concubine Fang kneel?"

The nanny said in a gentle voice: "In reply to the princess, the imperial concubine did not punish Concubine Fang to kneel."

As she spoke, the nanny lowered her head and looked at Concubine Fang, and said impatiently, "Concubine Fang, you should go back to the palace."

When Concubine Fang heard this, she quickly responded, "No, no, no, I am the one who kneels down to reflect on my mistakes. The Imperial Concubine is kind-hearted and treats me sincerely. I will be here, so it will be more convenient for me to serve the Imperial Concubine."

The maid raised her chin high and reminded condescendingly: "Madam Fang, the princess has good intentions."

"Yes, yes, the princess is kind, I appreciate it." Concubine Fang responded without changing her expression. She was quite respectful to the servants of Yikun Palace, and she did not insist after the nanny spoke.

She just insisted on bowing her head towards Yikun Palace and raised her voice: "Your Highness, I will withdraw now."

Naturally, no one paid any attention to her.

Fang Fei stood up with the help of the wall. Perhaps she had been kneeling for too long, and her body staggered a little, but she still stood steadily and never kneeled down again.

She looked at Shen Xiyue lovingly, but her tone was full of blame:

"Princess Huayang, I know you are a kind-hearted child, but it is only natural for me to serve the Imperial Concubine. As a person, you should know how to repay a favor. If it weren't for the Imperial Concubine, I wouldn't be where I am today! Don't you agree?"

Shen Xiyue: "......"

She looked at Concubine Fang with complicated eyes, and didn't know what to say for a moment. She felt deeply for Concubine Fang's way of survival as a noble concubine, but she always felt that something was wrong...

In her previous life, she did not have a very deep impression of Concubine Fang. She only vaguely remembered that after King Yao ascended the throne, she left the palace and went to the fiefdom of the Second Prince. She was lucky enough to survive to the end.

It is better not to make enemies with people like this who can endure to the extreme.

Shen Xiyue smiled at Concubine Fang and said, "What Concubine Fang said is right. Concubine Gui is kind and benevolent. We should be grateful for her."

Concubine Fang finally found the step, and after sighing a few more times, she took small steps and moved towards her own palace bit by bit.

Shen Xiyue didn't want anyone to follow her anymore, so she said to the maid, "The Imperial Concubine needs someone to follow her, so there's no need for you to see her off. Xiyue knows the way out of the palace."

The nanny didn't insist and agreed naturally: "Have a safe journey, Princess."

Shen Xiyue took Shuang Ye and walked a few quick steps towards the exit of the palace along the same route they came from. She had just performed such a big scene in front of Concubine Qi in Yikun Palace, and then she ran into Concubine Fang, such an incredible character, at the door. She was really a little tired.

She took a few quick steps until she saw the palace gate, and then she felt a lot more relaxed.

Before she could completely relax, a woman's delicate and proud voice came from behind her: "Princess Huayang, you finally made it to the palace, don't be in such a hurry to leave, okay?"
