Marriage Princess: The Alluring Concubine of the Evil Emperor

Chapter 12
All the people present put down their chopsticks because of this matter. It is not a big deal to watch the excitement. The family banquet in the palace is very boring. It is rare to have something lively, and it is another matter caused by a nobleman who has never been on the stage. Everyone is waiting to see what happens next.

Chu Jinyu was the only one, who drank slowly from a glass of Lihuabai, the corners of his lips curled up, and there was some strong interest in his eyes, staring at Qinghe who was kneeling on the ground.

The blood wolf in his arms was also very quiet, raising a pair of blood red eyes, looking at Qinghe.

"Su Guiren, you are so courageous!" Concubine Qi said angrily, "You still kowtow to apologize?"

Su Guiren's body was limp and paralyzed. Although this incident was expected, she still felt terrified when confronted with it. She prostrated herself on the ground and said incoherently: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, The concubine did not..."

When the emperor slapped the table, the celadon white plate with painted patterns on the table rose from the table and fell back down again, making a ping-pong sound.

"Come on, detain her and send her to the violence room to wait for the queen's punishment." The emperor said angrily.

The emperor and empress have always respected each other as guests, so the emperor could have ordered Concubine Qi to dispose of Su Guiren first, but out of respect, he left Su Guiren to the queen to dispose of.

When Su Guiren heard that he was escorted to the violence room, his whole face turned pale with fright. The violence room is a place dedicated to detaining wrongdoers and concubines with low status. It is dark inside, and the doors are closed heavily. .

Immediately, two guards stepped forward, and the two nuns backed away, allowing the guards to support Su Guiren's limp body.

But Qinghe said: "Wait!"

Her voice is not high, but it has enough intimidating power to make people feel that this "slow down" is not from the mouth of the always cowardly Princess Yili.

The emperor looked displeased, "Yi'er, are you sure you want to intercede for her?" The emperor's words were very threatening, meaning that if you interceded for her, you would be punished.

Qinghe kowtowed, then slowly raised his head and looked around the crowd, "Royal father, please allow your nobleman to take off the outer veil and see the pattern of the outer garment clearly. Although your nobleman is ignorant, he respects his queen very much and will never Disrespectful to the queen mother."

Concubine Shang Gui sneered, "The facts are right in front of you, how dare you argue? Bengong's eyes are not blind, and you can tell at a glance whether it is the pattern of phoenix and peony."

Even Concubine Qi couldn't help saying: "Yili, you go back and sit, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Qinghe still calmly said: "Mother Concubine Qi, I am sorry for Concubine Qi to move down, so I can see clearly."

Concubine Qi hesitated for a moment, then looked at Concubine Shang's expression, she understood in her heart, who was more threatening to her, Su Guiren or Concubine Shang, she naturally knew in her heart.

She turned her head to look at the angry emperor, and persuaded in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. If it spreads, it will damage the royal dignity. It is better to let the concubines go down and make a clear distinction."

The emperor squinted his eyes and saw the embroidered peony pattern on Su Guiren's clothes in the shadow of the bonfire. He remembered that Su Guiren was always timid and cowardly, so he would not dare to commit such a serious crime. After one incident, he said to Concubine Qi: "You go."

The court lady helped Concubine Qi get up, and walked down the five stone steps step by step. The long peach red palace skirt trailed behind, and the skirt swept the clean floor, making people feel noble and dignified, quite like a queen.

Qinghe stood up, repelled the two guards, and gently removed Su Guiren's outer veil, revealing the palace skirt.

Strange to say, after the outer veil is taken off, the pattern on the outer dress is not a peony pattern, but a flower similar to rose but more graceful and majestic.

Besides the pattern of this flower, the whole dress is also dotted with many pomegranate flowers, and the pattern embroidered on the back is just a willow with soft branches. Under the shadow of the bonfire, the lines are mottled, giving people the illusion that it looks like a phoenix about to fly.

Concubine Shang's eyes were almost protruding, and she blurted out subconsciously, "This is impossible, the clothes are clearly embroidered with peonies and dark-patterned phoenixes." After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and shut up immediately.

However, Qinghe grasped her words, "How did Concubine Shangmu know it was a dark-patterned phoenix? Just now, even if I looked at it with the double shadow of the firelight, I couldn't tell it was a dark-patterned pattern."

Concubine Shang Gui had already calmed down, "I stand here and look at the past, I have an illusion that it is a dark pattern."

Qinghe smiled slightly, "The eyes of Concubine Shangmu are really sharp."

Concubine Qi knows well, and understands why Concubine Shang Gui did this, she can't help shaking her head secretly, this Concubine Shang Gui is really not forgiving, this Su Guiren comes from a low family background, even if her daughter marries a relative far away, she will be promoted to her position How high can the score be?

"Your Majesty," Concubine Qi smiled slightly, "This is just an illusion of vision, and the embroidered clothes are not peonies. If the concubine's guess is correct, it should be the rose of Nanchu, which is similar to roses, but more majestic than roses. "

Hearing this, the emperor looked at Chu Jinyu, "Jinyu, you are from Southern Chu, go and see if it is a rose from your Southern Chu?"

Chu Jinyu smiled slightly, did not get up, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said: "Go back to the emperor, Xiao Wang has already seen that this is not a peony, but a rose."

Everyone was relieved, but they couldn't help being a little discouraged. They thought there would be a lot of fun to watch, but they didn't expect it to be a misunderstanding.

Concubine Shang said coldly: "Even if it's an illusion, is there no one around her who mentions her? Whether it was intentional or unintentional, I'm afraid only she will know."

Qinghe paused for a moment, then stood up abruptly and turned around to look at Concubine Shang, with a mournful tone but as if unable to let go, half sorrowful and half sad, he said: "Mother and Concubine Shang, what did this minister and nobleman Su offend you for?" ? You want to make things difficult for us again and again? If it is said that the son is blocking your eyes, the son is going to get married soon, if the nobleman is disturbing your heart, but the nobleman has never been with the world in Suhe Palace Wu Zheng, why do you embarrass us like this?"

Concubine Shang Gui took a deep breath and looked at Qinghe in astonishment. She absolutely could not believe that Qinghe would say such words in front of so many people, especially in the presence of the emperor.

"What do you mean? When did I make things difficult for you again and again? If you didn't make mistakes first and damage the reputation of my Su and Gong, would I care about you? It's you, in front of you." What do you mean by saying this in front of the emperor? Are you trying to frame me?"

Qinghe sighed, tears welled up in his eyelashes, "Concubine Shangmu, you know that the nobleman is a vegetarian and you don't eat meat, and you also know that she has never attended a big occasion, so it would be a loss of etiquette, but you let her go in front of so many people. She ate the lamb chops, she did something wrong, and she deserved to be punished, but you are standing so close to the nobleman, can't you see clearly that the embroidered clothes on her clothes are not peonies and phoenixes? I understand, the nobleman is afraid that this time it will be difficult to escape the punishment in the violent room."
