Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 532

"Cousin!" Pei Fang scrambled to her feet and ran after him for a while in the Imperial Garden, but she couldn't find Murong Yu anywhere.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has ordered that you should hurry back to Fanghua Palace to copy the palace rules!"

Leng Yan stopped her.

Pei Fang's eyes reddened as she grabbed Leng Yan's arm. "Brother Yan, please help me. If you don't help me, I'll... I'll be scared... I'm afraid of implicating my older brother and the others."

"Your Majesty!" Leng Yan hurriedly withdrew her hand and then gestured for someone to pull her away.

"Brother Yan, even you won't help me?" Pei Fang stomped her feet in anger, crying and making a scene. "Yan... please help me, please help me, I beg you..."

Leng Yan clenched his fists tightly and resolutely turned his head away from looking at her.

"take away!"

......

Upon receiving the news, Pei Shang went to the palace.

Murong Yu said unhappily, "You want to plead for her? Fangfang is in this state because you all indulged her. Do you only start to reflect on your actions when she commits a heinous crime?"

Pei Shang knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I have come to beg for forgiveness. This matter was my fault; I inadvertently revealed my guilt."

Murong Yu knew perfectly well that he was trying to exonerate Prime Minister Pei.

"Alright, you're getting married soon, so be more careful in your actions from now on."

"The Imperial Concubine is too spoiled and willful. I punished her by making her copy the palace rules in order to temper her temperament."

Pei Shang nodded, knowing what kind of person his sister was, and dared not say much. As long as the emperor didn't strip her of her title of Imperial Concubine, a minor punishment would suffice.

The main reason for this trip to the palace was fear that my cousin, the emperor, might become suspicious and dissatisfied with my father.

Prime Minister Pei has indeed become somewhat arrogant over the years, especially after becoming regent, he has tasted the power and wants more and greater power.

Pei Shang couldn't persuade him either, and didn't know what to do.

"What are His Majesty's plans regarding the empty treasury? Will the victory celebration banquet still be held?"

As he spoke, he took out 50,000 taels of silver notes and gave them to him.

"This is some money I raised, which I use to apologize to His Majesty on behalf of the Imperial Concubine."

The 30,000 taels were given by Qi Yuyan, and the 20,000 taels were his own.

Fu Rui Lou was opened by him and Qi Yuyan, and they received a certain amount of money every month.

In addition, Gong Shu offered him 50,000 taels of silver, but he refused it. Pei Shang would never do something like taking money from a woman before even getting married.

Fifty thousand taels is just a drop in the bucket.

Murong Yu accepted the gift and had it delivered to Yun Xiyue. "The celebration banquet is being held. This can't go on forever. I've discussed it with A-Yue. She will be in charge of the business and making money."

If you don't have money, you can earn it. Ah Yue is right.

Even if we don't have money now, we can overcome the difficulties as long as we work together.

"Regarding the affairs of the harem, if Fangfang wants to hold the Phoenix Seal, then give it to her. Ayue wants to do business and make money, and has no interest in managing the harem. However, you should also advise her not to do anything she shouldn't."

"If she comes to her senses, she can leave the palace at any time and choose to marry a man who loves her."

Pei Shang glanced at Leng Yan subconsciously, "I will try to persuade him."

Leng Yan lowered his eyes and didn't dare to speak.

......

The Empress Dowager summoned Yun Xiyue early in the morning.

This morning was the day Zeng Rou served tea to the Empress.

We also had to serve tea to the Empress Dowager, so we went to Funing Palace together.

Pei Fang did not attend because she was under house arrest.

"Last night, the Emperor punished the Consort and then stayed overnight at Qinghuan Palace. Why didn't the Empress stop him?" Before anything even started, the Empress Dowager began to reprimand Yun Xiyue.

Yun Xiyue had anticipated that the Empress Dowager would inquire about this, so she calmly replied, "Your Majesty, please calm down. His Majesty made it very clear that day, and Consort Shu was also present. I dare not disobey His Majesty's wishes!"

"Humph!"

Zeng Rou felt ashamed when she thought about last night. "Then why did you come to Qinghuan Palace with the Emperor? It was because of you that the Emperor refused to stay overnight at Qinghuan Palace."

"For this, the Imperial Concubine was also punished."
