The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

Emperor Chengde sighed, saying that it was inconvenient to have no empress in the harem. Concubine Shu was not up to the responsibility of being the vice empress, and the empress dowager was tired of personally managing the harem.

It is the Queen's duty to reprimand female relatives for such things.

Like today, Emperor Chengde did not want to disturb the empress dowager again, so he had to give an oral order in the name of the empress dowager.

Establish a queen, establish a queen! The court has been talking about this for who knows how many years. Do they think he doesn't want to establish a queen?

He wanted to make her the queen more than anyone else, but he couldn't!

When she entered the palace that year, he only pampered her unscrupulously for a few months, but she was poisoned several times.

Several times he thought he was going to lose her, but fortunately God had mercy on him and he escaped unharmed.

How could he dare to push her to the front or the back again? Wouldn't that be a clear target?

But he would not be willing to accept another concubine!

It would be fine if there was only one legitimate son like the Crown Prince standing in the way, but if there was another legitimate son, the path to succession to the throne for him and her children would only be more difficult.

Well, let's leave it at that for now. Fortunately, he is in good health and can clear some more obstacles for the emperor.

Thinking about the oral order just issued and thinking about the Duke of Lu, the Northern Di would at least be safe until the winter, and the Duke of Lu could return to the court.

I don't know how the things I asked him to do are going.

And the Duke of Lu's mansion was as quiet as a chicken after Eunuch Sun delivered his instructions and left.

Shen Yan knelt on the ground with a big belly, blood boiling all over her body.

She had only scolded Wang Erniang, but how could the emperor find out and punish her by making her copy books and being confined to her house?

Even if she was released from house arrest in the future, how would she have the face to walk among the noble ladies?

Wang Sanniang was trembling with fear as she tried to go forward and help Shen Yan up, but when Shen Yan stood firm, she slapped Wang Sanniang in the face again.

The force of Shen Yan's slap was particularly strong, even stronger than in Changchun Tower.

Wang Sanniang felt a burning pain on her left cheek, and could feel it was swollen.

Shen Yan had no place to vent her anger, so she just scolded Wang Sanniang: "Bitch! Are you very happy and proud to see me being scolded by the emperor?

I tell you, even if I am punished, your Wang family is still like an ant in my hand."

Chen Ke's younger brother, the third young master Chen Qi, was also at home today. When he saw Wang Sanniang in tears, he felt sorry for her.

He persuaded her, "Second sister-in-law, this maid didn't do anything wrong. Why are you taking it out on her?"

When Shen Yan saw Chen Qi speaking for Wang Sanniang, she also felt that she was getting a little impatient.

Why did he have to deal with Wang Sanniang in front of everyone? He glared at Wang Sanniang fiercely and said, "Qingping, help me into the room."

He held Wang Sanniang's hand and walked slowly.

It was fine on normal days, but today Shen Yan really didn't dare to offend Chen Qi. Gu was currently at her mother's house, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and had not returned yet.

If she came back and knew what happened today, she would be scolded again. She didn't want to cause any more trouble.

After entering the courtyard, Shen Yan stopped pretending and looked at Wang Sanniang with disdain: "Qingping, you look so weak that even the Third Young Master feels sorry for you."

Wang Sanniang naturally begged for mercy: "Madam, Qingping is wrong."

"Wrong? Since you know you're wrong, then just kneel here and keep doing it until I calm down!"

After Shen Yan finished speaking, she didn't even look at Wang Sanniang again and went back to her room.

Ever since she married into the Duke of Lu's mansion and was diagnosed with pregnancy, she has always slept in a separate room from Chen Ke.

So after Chen Ke called Qingping's name eight hundred times, a maid finally came to report that the prince had gone to the bathroom and asked Qingping to make the bed.

Shen Yan didn't care. She waved her hand and asked Wang Sanniang to serve Chen Ke.

Wang Sanniang did not put on makeup again, but walked into Chen Ke's room with her face slapped twice by Shen Yan.

Chen Ke became more and more dependent on her, and he didn't ask anyone else to do many things, only Wang Sanniang.

But today, he felt something was wrong. Wang Sanniang came two quarters of an hour later than usual.

Could it be that even she was beginning to dislike him? If so, let's see how he would deal with her!

After Chen Ke broke his leg, he became more and more inferior and violent.

He couldn't stand being neglected or looked down upon. He knew Shen Yan looked down on him, but he endured it because Shen Yan was pregnant with his child.

But he originally thought that Wang Sanniang was different from other people and that she truly loved him.

I didn't expect that it would reveal its true face in such a short time.

Seeing Wang Sanniang dawdling at the door and not coming in, Chen Ke couldn't help but feel angry.

He yelled, "Come in quickly! Do you still want me to treat you?"

Wang Sanniang walked in hurriedly, but before she reached the bed, Chen Ke threw a pillow at her.

"How dare you, a little bitch, look down on me?" Veins popped out on Chen Ke's forehead and he was extremely angry.

Wang Sanniang picked up the pillow thrown aside and ran towards the bed.

Pulling Chen Ke's hand, tears flowed down again, "Sir, Sanniang doesn't have it. How could Sanniang look down on the prince?

"Don't you know how devoted Sanniang is to the prince?"

After saying that, she started to cry.

Chen Ke then turned to look at Wang Sanniang, and his eyes darkened when he saw the clear slap mark on her face.

Wang Sanniang pretended to cover her face with her hands, but Chen Ke pulled her hands down.

"Who beat him? Tell me and I'll skin him alive!"

Wang Sanniang shook her head and advised, "Master, don't blame the wife. It's Sanniang who is ignorant. She knew that the wife was angry, but she still went forward.

Blame Sanniang herself, not the Crown Prince's wife."

"The Crown Prince's wife has also been wronged today. The Emperor has issued an oral order to reprimand her. If beating up Sanniang can calm the Crown Prince's wife down, then it is worth it."

Shen Yan? Why was she reprimanded for no reason? Chen Ke was puzzled.

"Sanniang, tell me everything that happened today!"

Wang Sanniang told Chen Ke everything that happened in Changchun Restaurant today, including the oral instructions brought by Eunuch Sun, and did not miss the part about how she was beaten.

Of course, she was openly speaking for Shen Yan, but every word she said was wrong because of Chen Ke's fault.

"What a wicked woman! She made a mistake herself and yet she is punishing you for no reason."

Chen Ke's former admiration for Shen Yan had already vanished into thin air during these few months of getting along.

He knew that she looked down on him, and he had sworn long ago that if his foot could be healed, he would divorce Shen Yan, this heartless and ungrateful woman, immediately.

"Sanniang, have someone call Shen Yan to me. Today, this prince will definitely avenge you!"

Wang Sanniang's meticulous care over the past month has been very effective, and Chen Ke has long been devoted to her.

"My Lord, Sanniang doesn't want you to have a conflict with the Lord's wife over Sanniang's affairs.

After all, she is pregnant with your child. Although she was pregnant before entering the mansion, fortunately, it is the prince's.

For the sake of the child, if the Crown Prince's wife comes, please have a good talk with her. Do not argue with her."

Chen Ke listened to Wang Sanniang's gentle words, thinking of him in every word, even at the cost of herself.

He was very moved and patted Wang Sanniang's hand, "Sanniang, don't worry, I know what's going on."

He must seek justice for Sanniang!

Shen Yan needs to be warned not to treat Sanniang as an ordinary servant, otherwise don't blame him for being rude!
