The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

"It's clearly directed at her."

The emperor finished speaking.

His eyes swept across the Ninth Prince and fell on Lin Qianqian. He saw her kneeling quietly on the ground, neither humble nor arrogant, and not crying out for injustice.

I feel that this woman is extraordinary and calm.

The Ninth Prince quickly lowered his head and said, "Father, I am only telling you about this girl's background. It would be bad if something bad happened to her in the palace."

The emperor looked at the empress dowager and obviously noticed that although she was originally happy, her face turned pale and her smile disappeared immediately after the Ninth Prince spoke.

His mood also became unhappy.

The emperor asked impatiently, "You can't choose the right occasion to speak?"

"Today is the Queen Mother's birthday, and we want her to be happy."

"No matter what her background is, what can she do in the palace? There are so many masters guarding the maids and palace maids inside and outside the palace. Even if she has committed a crime, can't they capture a woman?"

The Queen Mother said sternly, "Old Nine, put down the gift and go out."

"You're such a sensible grandson for spoiling my mood."

The emperor followed suit and said, "You have displeased the Queen Mother so much. I think the etiquette and rules need to be disciplined."

"How did your mother educate you?"

After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at the gorgeously dressed Concubine Zuo, who was wearing pearls and jade. The dignified Concubine Zuo noticed the emperor's gaze and lowered her head slightly.

The emperor suddenly raised his voice and said, "I think you don't have to attend today's banquet."

"Go back now and write a self-review and hand it in later."

"Also, think carefully about what filial piety is. You don't even respect my mother, which really disappoints me."

These words shocked everyone.

The hall suddenly fell silent.

The princess and the prince all lowered their heads at the same time.

The emperor's words were very serious.

It was like a hammer hitting the Ninth Prince hard on the head. He was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and said, "I will follow my father's teachings. I know I was wrong."

He was the first prince to be kicked out of the banquet, which was extremely embarrassing.

The Ninth Prince came to the Imperial Garden in annoyance, thinking back on his words and actions in the palace.

When Concubine Zuo saw her son being driven out, she followed him out silently.

"Ling'er, your father is the most filial. How could you displease the Queen Mother at her banquet and bring bad luck to your father?"

"I... Mother, I don't want a person of unknown origin to be appreciated by the Queen Mother for no reason." The Ninth Prince would naturally not admit that he disliked Lin Qianqian.

Concubine Zuo sighed and said, "You can't say that in an occasion like this."

"Today is the Queen Mother's birthday, so naturally she is the most important. You also know that in this harem, besides the Emperor, the Queen Mother is the most important."

"You must be more respectful to her than your father is, only then can you win his favor."

"You, my child, have been fighting on the battlefield for years. When you return to the palace, don't be too blunt and say whatever you want to say. Before you do anything or say anything, think about whether you will make the emperor unhappy. Do you know this saying: Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger?"

"If he's unhappy, he can even kill his own son. Don't be reckless and do something stupid. This incident should be regarded as a lesson."

The Ninth Prince nodded, "I know I was wrong."

……

Prince Beixuan noticed that the Ninth Prince was kicked out of the Queen Mother's banquet by the Emperor's oral order.

Analyze in your mind what he did wrong, remember the reasons, and tell yourself not to make the same mistake.

Anle was happy about the emperor's action and said, "He really deserves it."

After the emperor asked Lin Qianqian to stand up, he suddenly said, "The name Lin Qianqian sounds familiar."

"I remember now. Anle said before that he was performing the Feihua Order in Beixuan Palace. A group of men were no match for two women, one of whom was Lin Qianqian."

"Anle even used this incident to say that her second brother's academic performance had declined, saying that his poetry accumulation was not even as good as that of a concubine."

King Beixuan lowered his head humbly, "Yes, Father, when you heard about this, you asked Master to supervise me to study hard. I also kept it in mind and never lose to a woman again."

Lin Qianqian was very surprised and looked at Anle.

But she gave him a playful smile.

Why does it feel like a daughter is telling her father about interesting things in her and her classmates' lives?

Although I don’t dislike it, I don’t like it very much either.

Princess Anle hugged the emperor's arm and said, "That's her."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction. "It seems that she is also a woman who likes reading. She can remember so many poems and even surpass King Beixuan. She is also a talented woman. I admire women who read the most."

"However, how can a woman who loves reading say something so against the will of heaven and against moral principles?"

"By the way, Lin Qianqian just said that she wanted to become famous. It seems that she is so smart because of her education. She chose to find a new path. Otherwise, why didn't other prostitutes think of such a path? And she did succeed."

"Yeah, smart."

"I like smart people." The emperor laughed twice and looked at Lin Qianqian with even more appreciation.

The Queen Mother did not forget to teach her children and grandchildren solemnly, "You too, must study hard. If you are outdone by others in important occasions, it would be a disgrace to our royal family."

"If women can be so smart, men should work harder. If people say that I am not as good as women, I would rather lose my face."

After the banquet, the Queen Mother called Lin Qianqian to her side and asked her what "Dream of the Red Chamber" was. She gave her a brief account of it.

After listening to this, the Queen Mother said, "Then tell me the story of Dream of the Red Chamber later."

Lin Qianqian agreed.

……

Cheng Jiayao has been feeling uneasy since she learned that Lin Qianqian moved into the princess's mansion.

She never expected that the princess would learn opera from her, not only that, but also ask her to live in her house.

She sat on the stool depressed, clenched her sleeves, and thought about all the situations that were not favorable to her.

Suddenly, February pulled aside the curtain and came in from outside, and sunlight poured in, illuminating half of the room.

She said, "Miss, the Marquis has returned from the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and guess what? He said that Aunt Lin performed at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet and was praised."

"What? She went to the Queen Mother's birthday party?"

Cheng Jiayao was very surprised.

"Yeah," Er Yue nodded, "I'm also curious about how she did it. The only people who can attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet are the royal family and the ministers in the court. Women are not eligible to attend."

Cheng Jiayao thought about the scene where Lin Qianqian stole the show, and thought that even if the women of the Marquis's residence could attend, the number of places was limited, and she could only bring one person. That person was the Yu family above, and it was not her turn. However, Lin Qianqian, a concubine, actually went and was praised by the Queen Mother.

Queen Mother, she has never even seen the Queen Mother.

I never thought that a girl from a secluded courtyard could meet the empress dowager.
