The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

After Xie Zhichan finished looking at the mace, Li Youzhi took it back and hung it on the wall. As if he had some obsessive-compulsive disorder, he adjusted it to make sure it was hung on a vertical line.

Xie Zhichan guessed that among all the things on the wall, her favorite was probably the mace.

The third princess has a baby face, but she likes such aggressive things. This is probably a silent way for her to vent in the palace.

Li Youzhi hung up the mace, returned to sit in front of Xie Zhichan, and said, "Crown Princess, we agreed to act well. There are ears everywhere in this palace. If Crown Princess doesn't scream in pain today and is almost tortured to death by the Third Princess, today's performance will not be considered a success."

When Xie Zhichan learned the truth, he felt that the third princess was actually a master at surviving in the palace. She had played the role of a naive and vicious princess under the noses of so many shrewd people, and she acted quite well.

Then, Xie Zhichan's screams of pain were heard coming from the house. The palace maids guarding outside were trembling, fearing that the torture instruments on the wall would fall on them at any time.

-

On this side, after Pei Yi guessed the reason why Xie Zhichan entered the palace, he hurried to the palace gate, got off the carriage, handed his badge to the palace guarding the gate, then pushed his wheelchair into the palace and went directly to the Taiji Hall.

At that time, Emperor Jingde was looking at the official arrangements for the Jinshi after the adjustment. He was very satisfied to see that the sheep were locked among the wolves.

Suddenly, he heard Eunuch Fu report that the Prince of Yan had entered the palace again. Emperor Jingde's brows jumped. It seemed that it had been not long since he brought the Prince's Consort into the palace last time. How come Pei Yi was so free after he stopped going to the battlefield?

Emperor Jingde recalled the scenes of Pei Yi's previous two visits to the palace, and he had a premonition that this time, it would definitely not be a good thing.

Sure enough, as soon as Pei Yi entered the hall, he began to kneel on the ground again. Fortunately, Emperor Jingde had informed Eunuch Fu in advance and asked him to watch over him and not let him kneel down again. Otherwise, if the news got out, the Prince of Yan who was paralyzed on duty would not receive the emperor's favor. Who would be willing to go to the battlefield in the northern border to kill the enemy?

Emperor Jingde said, "Don't kneel, my lord. Just tell me what you want to say."

Pei Yi said, "My Crown Prince's Consort was invited into the palace by the Queen Mother. For some reason, the Queen Mother seemed to suspect that the Crown Prince's confinement was related to the Crown Prince's Consort. I also found out that the Crown Prince sent someone to cut off the tongue of a failed candidate, saying that he was the one spreading rumors everywhere. I am worried that if the news of the failed candidate's tongue being cut off spreads, it will probably cause a huge disturbance. For example, the imperial examination fraud case during the Ruilong period, I only heard about it from my father, and I am still scared.

Please understand, Your Majesty, I know nothing about the Crown Prince's affairs or the imperial examinations."

When Emperor Jingde heard about the Ruilong period, his heart began to beat fast. The prince was really good-for-nothing. He was confined to his room for reflection, but he still had the mind to cause trouble. Didn't the prince really understand that this matter must not be made a big deal and must not be brought to the surface?

And what about the Queen Mother and the Empress? He had finally suppressed the matter and it seemed to be resolved satisfactorily, but he insisted on dragging the Prince and Princess of the Prince's Mansion into it. Was he afraid that he could not stir up the matter again?

Emperor Jingde's face darkened, and he said to Eunuch Fu, "Go to Shoukang Palace."

Eunuch Fu agreed and went to arrange a sedan chair. The emperor went to Shoukang Palace, and Pei Yi followed in the team, pushing a wheelchair.

When they arrived at Shoukang Palace and entered Xuande Hall, they saw the empress was also there, discussing the selection of a concubine for the prince with the empress dowager. The two were discussing Cao Shuyuan, the granddaughter of the Cao family and the prince's cousin. They quickly reached a consensus and seemed to want to pass the Cao family's throne down from generation to generation.

Then a young eunuch's voice said, "The Emperor has arrived."

The queen was delighted. She had never expected to run into the emperor today. The queen mother smiled and greeted Emperor Jingde, saying, "Why are you here, my son? I was just talking to your wife about the selection of the crown princess. It's a good opportunity for you to come and listen. What do you think of Shu Yuan?"

Emperor Jingde frowned when he heard this. Why does the Cao family have to sit on the throne for as long as the Li family sits on the throne?

The Cao family now occupies the two most honorable queen positions in the harem of the Great Jin Dynasty. Do they want to hold the future queen position in their hands as well?

His mother and the Queen only consider the Cao family as their home, so don’t they consider the Li family’s kingdom as their home?

Emperor Jingde was very unhappy and said, "Shu Yuan is good, but it depends on the Crown Prince's intention. Why don't the Queen hold a palace banquet and invite more noble ladies from Kyoto to come and have a look? The King of Qin is about to get married, so we can arrange it together. The maids from the Pei family, the Zhang family, and the Zhao family will be returning to the capital soon, and they are all worthy of the Crown Prince and the King of Qin."

When the Empress Dowager and the Queen heard this, it was clear that the Cao family was not the only one with good daughters in the capital. They knew that Emperor Jingde was on guard against the Cao family, so although they were unhappy, they did not say anything more.

When Emperor Jingde saw that Xie Zhichan was not there, he asked Empress Dowager Cao, "I heard that your mother invited the Crown Prince's Consort from the Prince of Yan's Mansion to the palace today. Why is she not here?"

Empress Dowager Cao glanced at Pei Yi and saw him sitting in a wheelchair, following behind Emperor Jingde. She knew that it was he who summoned Emperor Jingde for the sake of his Crown Prince's Consort.

It seemed that Pei Yi really cared about his Crown Prince's Consort. He couldn't help but look at Qin Baiwei again, feeling a little dissatisfied. The girl's words that she had promised to relieve her worries were still fresh in his mind, but the result was disappointing.

However, the emperor just mentioned the maid in the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Since Pei Yi's path is not feasible, he can try the path of Prince of Yan Pei Yuan. It is not impossible to give the position of the Crown Prince's concubine to someone from the Pei family.

But after the prince ascends to the high position, the Pei family can no longer be retained, otherwise the grandson of the Pei family will compete with the grandson of the Cao family for the kingdom of the Li family?

She had already thought about a lot in her mind before she replied to the emperor: "Well, San'er came over and invited people to her palace as guests."

Emperor Jingde's face turned pale when he heard this. He knew San'er's character, but this girl was very naive and not afraid of him. Moreover, there were strange signs in the sky when she was born. Even the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said that she was a lucky star for the Jin Dynasty. On weekdays, she just messed around with a few palace maids in his palace, so he let her go.

But Pei Yi’s Crown Princess is no ordinary palace maid.

Pei Yi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, but pretended to be panicked: "What? The Crown Prince's Consort was taken away by the Third Princess?"

He turned around and said to Emperor Jingde: "Your Majesty, although I am disabled now, the Prince of Yan's Mansion and the Pei Army are not for show. The Crown Prince's Concubine is very kind to Pei Yi. If something happens to the Crown Prince's Concubine this time, I will definitely ask the Queen Mother for justice."

The Queen Mother's face darkened instantly after hearing Pei Yi's words: "Why? What kind of justice do you want from me, Prince Pei? Your Prince's Consort was disrespectful to me, and I can't punish her?"

Pei Yi said: "Since the emperor has given Ah Yuan to me as the Crown Prince's Consort, he must think that her character is worthy of me. I believe that the Crown Prince's Consort will not act without purpose and disrespect the Queen Mother."

This really left Emperor Jingde speechless. He couldn't just say that he had just granted the marriage casually and the Crown Prince's Concubine's character might not be outstanding. This would be too disrespectful to the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

Emperor Jingde said to Pei Yi, "Prince, please be patient. Although San'er has a bit of an impatient temper, he won't necessarily do anything to the Crown Prince's Consort. Come with me to Yunmeng Palace and take a look."

So the group hurried to Yunmeng Palace again.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she had another headache, so the Queen naturally stayed in Shoukang Palace to take care of her.
