After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen
Chapter 268 Concubinage
Qin Zehai smiled proudly, "Okay, then I look forward to working with Miss Nian Er."
He left the West Wing and sank into the darkness. His smile disappeared in an instant, replaced by disdain and ridicule. He snorted coldly, and the sarcasm on his face became even stronger when he thought of Nian Qiaoyue's self-righteous and arrogant look.
It was a blessing for a little concubine's daughter to be given the opportunity to work for herself, but she was so ignorant that she dared to covet the position of queen.
Those words are just said to coax children. If she really believes them, it only shows that she is stupid.
Qin Zehai disliked stupid people the most, stupid people always do bad things and make people angry. But stupidity also has its advantages, like Nian Qiaoyue, who is stupid but a little bad, if you control her well, she is like a top-notch crossbow, she will shoot wherever you point her, and every arrow is poisoned and deadly.
……
A man rushed into the prime minister's residence at the speed of a lightning speed. Even though he knew there were people guarding the door, he did not slow down at all, as if he knew they dared not stop him.
He was walking very fast, and the guard, who didn't see him clearly, subconsciously wanted to draw his sword to stop him. It was not until he saw his face clearly when he was five steps away that the guard immediately held down his hands and retracted his head. Fortunately, he drew his sword too slowly, otherwise he would have chopped off his own head.
"Prince's Palace..."
Due to his duty, the guard had to ask, but before he could say three words, the man had already gone towards the east wing, leaving only a trace of his shadow.
Qin Junyu frowned as he hurried over. His cloak was filled with cold wind and the soles of his boots were about to catch fire.
Zhihua, who was making a paper kite in the yard, was the first to be startled. From the corner of her eye she saw a big black rat rushing in. She wondered if she had seen it wrong, for it was really big and moving very fast.
She turned around and looked behind her, and recognized the big black rat as Qin Junyu, and hurriedly let go of the kite to chase him.
"His Royal Highness!"
"His Royal Highness!"
Qin Junyu stood in the corridor in front of her room, glanced at Zhihua who was running over in a hurry, half out of breath, and said impatiently, "Hurry up and call your young lady out."
Zhihua had never seen the Crown Prince appear in the East Wing in such an inappropriate manner. Gradually she realized the seriousness of the matter. She did not dare to delay and went in to call for help.
As soon as she went in, she brought Nian Susu out.
Nian Susu was only wearing winter clothes, without a cloak. "What's wrong, Your Highness? Did something happen that made you rush here so quickly?"
He was so anxious when he came here, but when he really saw him, he was hesitant to speak.
Qin Junyu clenched his fists and told her in a deep voice: "Father wants Jian Ting to take Miss Li as his concubine, and she will enter the palace on the same day as Miss Wang."
“What?!” Nian Susu was struck by lightning, his eyes were bloodshot.
My pupils trembled and my heart was in a mess.
"What is going on?" She tried to remain calm and figure out what was going on.
A few days ago, Xiao Jianting swore to himself that he would marry Li Yaoyuan. Was this the way he meant? It would be better not to!
Nian Susu became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, thinking that Xiao Jianting was insulting Li Yaoyuan.
Qin Junyu couldn't explain it clearly in a few words, and only told her that Li Yaoyuan should have known about it.
Nian Susu thought something was wrong, so he asked Zhihua to get the cloak and rushed to Li's house with Qin Junyu.
On the way, Qin Junyu told her the general situation.
Xiao Jianting intended to marry Li Yaoyuan as his wife, and asked the emperor several times about this matter. Considering Li Yaoyuan's contribution in pacifying the Hui bandits in Jiuhua Mountain, the emperor did not get angry, but he did not agree to cancel the marriage between Xiao and Wang's families either.
The stalemate lasted for several days. Some people in the court were dissatisfied with the Xiao family's taking advantage of the situation and thought that Xiao Jianting was too arrogant and ungrateful, marrying Miss Wang and still wanting a Miss Li.
They thought Xiao Jianting wanted both, but they didn't know that he wanted to cancel the engagement with the Wang family first and then marry Li Yaoyuan.
It was this incident that gave the emperor inspiration. Since Xiao Jianting was determined to marry Li Yaoyuan, he might as well fulfill his wish.
Li Yaoyuan's reputation was ruined. If she were allowed to marry into the Xiao family as the main wife, she would probably be criticized for not valuing loyal ministers and good generals.
A way to have the best of both worlds is to let Li Yaoyuan be a concubine. Although it is somewhat derogatory to the Li family, things have come to this point and Li Yaoyuan will not be able to marry into a good family in the future. It is better for her to be a concubine to Xiao Jianting.
At least... Xiao Jianting really likes her.
When this proposal was put forward, people in the court were talking about it and it was difficult to satisfy everyone.
Li Zhiyi never expressed his opinion from beginning to end, as if the person they were talking about was not his daughter.
The emperor made the decision and no one dared to object.
Of course, there is no need to issue an imperial decree to grant marriage for taking a concubine. It can be considered a done deal if it is issued in front of all the civil and military officials.
Xiao Jianting was in a trance and did not recover until the end of the court. He did not respond when people spoke to him.
Several ministers who wanted to watch the fun were turned down and left in disappointment.
Qin Junyu hurriedly changed his clothes as soon as he got out of the court, and went straight to the prime minister's residence out of the palace.
So there was the scene where the guard drew his sword to stop him.
After listening to the general outline, Nian Susu had a general idea of what was going on.
It wasn't Xiao Jianting's idea to take Li Yaoyuan as a concubine, so it wasn't too bad. What she was worried about was that Li Yaoyuan would misunderstand that it was Xiao Jianting who proposed it, and that he was undoubtedly insulting her and looking down on her.
To put it seriously, even if Li Yaoyuan died, she would never marry Xiao Jianting as a concubine.
What you fear will come true. Before the two of them reached the prime minister's residence, they met Wan Tao on the way.
Wan Tao ran and cried all the way, her eyes were swollen. When she saw Nian Susu, a glimmer of hope appeared in her sad eyes. She ran faster and faster, and finally knelt down in front of Nian Susu.
She kowtowed and slammed her head on the ground three times, not giving Nian Susu any chance to stop her.
After these three hits, my forehead was swollen.
Wan Tao cried till her voice became hoarse. She clutched the hem of Nian Susu's skirt, "Miss Nian! Please! Save my young lady! Please, Miss Nian!"
Wan Tao is about the same age as Zhi Hua, and she was crying like a tearful child. Nian Su Su felt distressed, "Wan Tao, get up and talk."
"If Miss Nian doesn't agree, I won't get up."
Nian Susu said hurriedly: "I'm worried that your young lady wants to go find her, you should get up quickly and lead the way, don't waste time!"
Wan Tao thought about her young lady's current situation and felt that what she said made sense, so she immediately got up and led the two of them to Li's house.
"Two hours ago, the young lady heard that the emperor wanted to give her to Master Xiao as a concubine. Her face changed immediately. When the master came back from court, the young lady said something to him in the study. When she came back, she was not in a good state. She said she wanted to be alone and sent everyone in the yard away."
"As a result...as a result, I heard the maid cleaning the lotus pond shouting for help, saying that the young lady had fallen into the water. When the guards fished her out, she was already unconscious."
"The master refused to ask a doctor to treat the young lady, and even said... even said, if she wants to die, I will grant her wish! Anyway, the one who is lost alive is mine! It's better to die!"
Wan Tao spoke these words tremblingly.
