Chapter 191 Can You Take Control of Your Wife?
Ye Qingge was lying on the bed reading a storybook while Qingxia put ice on her knees.
"Crown Princess, please don't be so reckless next time. Your knees are now bruised."
Qingxia said distressedly
Ye Qingge put the storybook aside and said
"Alas, the situation was urgent, so I ran too fast. I'll be more careful next time."
Don't say that I feel much better after applying the ice. Unfortunately, I can only walk around the East Palace today.
Later, I heard the news from the palace that Concubine Zhang was promoted to Concubine Wan, while Concubine Xie was demoted to Concubine Cai.
I have to say that the emperor is really decisive in doing things. Zhang Jieyu, oh, no, now she should be called Wanpin, she has finally had her day.
This Concubine Xie is really tactless. The emperor is in a bad mood with Concubine Wan, but she still bullies her. How stupid!
……
The next morning, Ye Qingge was having breakfast when a little palace maid came to tell her that Concubine Rong wanted to see her.
"Noble Concubine Rong? Why did she invite me?"
Ye Qingge's mind raced. Noble Consort Rong? Prince Rui's mother, they had no connection at all, so why was she suddenly summoned?
The little palace maid said
"Just now, Concubine Wan and Concubine Xie got into a fight. Concubine Rong happened to be passing by and stopped them. She asked what happened and said it was because of the Crown Princess, so she specially asked you to come over."
Ye Qingge was stunned. After all, their fight was because of the Emperor. How could it be because of her? Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and slapped her thigh, thinking, "Oh no!"
She took Qingxia and followed the little palace maid away, and before leaving, she secretly told Xiao Mi
"Go to the Queen and tell her that I am in the hands of Concubine Rong."
"Uh-huh"
Xiaomi nodded
Ye Qingge followed the little palace maid all the way to Jinxiu Palace. In the main hall, Wanpin and Xie Cairen were kneeling on the ground. Their clothes were wrinkled and their hair was messy. It seemed that they had been beaten badly.
Concubine Rong was sitting there drinking tea leisurely. When she saw Ye Qingge coming, she put down her teacup and looked at her sharply.
Ye Qingge swallowed her saliva, but also looked at Concubine Rong. She must not be timid.
"Meet the Imperial Concubine"
Concubine Rong sneered
"I am also your elder, why don't you kneel when you pay your respects?"
"Your Majesty, please allow me to report that my knee is injured and I cannot kneel for the time being. Please forgive me."
Look at this arrogant attitude. If she doesn't want to kneel, then she doesn't have to kneel. She even makes excuses. She thinks she's so great just because she's the Crown Princess.
Concubine Rong was angry when she saw her. Princess Xining actually looked down on her son and insisted on marrying the cripple Crown Prince. She was very unhappy. Now she is still so rude. It seems that she needs to be disciplined.
"What is the Crown Princess's intention in instigating Concubine Wan to provoke others?"
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. I did not instigate Concubine Wan."
"Princess Wan has confessed everything, what else do you have to say? You've only been in the palace for a few days? And you've already started instigating others to cause the concubines in the harem to fight and disrupt the harem. Today, I have to teach you a lesson."
"Come here, hold her down and make her kneel down and admit her mistake."
Wanpin secretly glanced at Ye Qingge. She didn't want to drag her in, but she was very afraid of Rong Guifei, so she could only ask the Crown Princess to take the blame.
After all, she is the Crown Princess, and I think Concubine Rong will not do anything to her, but now things seem a little serious.
Two older maids came over and held Ye Qingge's shoulders. Ye Qingge struggled hard, but they were too strong and she couldn't break free.
They stepped on her knees, forcing her to kneel down.
"Wait!"
"The Queen is here!"
The two maids saw the Queen coming and looked at Concubine Rong nervously, without making any further moves.
Ye Qingge knelt on the ground, watching the queen come in, and quickly hugged her thighs.
"Mother, please save me, I am so scared"
Concubine Rong looked at Ye Qingge and suddenly knelt down and started crying. She was really scheming.
The queen helped Ye Qingge up and comforted her
"Don't be afraid"
She turned to look at Concubine Rong and said coldly
"Noble Concubine Rong is so powerful. If you don't know me, you might think you are in charge of the harem."
Concubine Rong instantly put on a smiling face
"Your Highness, you're joking. If Concubine Wan and Concubine Xie had a fight, it would spread that the Queen is failing to govern the six palaces, which would be a joke. I was just trying to help the Queen and warn them."
"Oh? Then why bring the Crown Princess into this?"
"The Crown Princess instigated Wanpin to provoke others and not take the concubines in the harem seriously. I am just teaching her the rules."
Ye Qingge shook her head at the Queen
The Queen looked at Wanpin
"Tell me, how did the Crown Princess instigate you to provoke others?"
Wanpin quickly knelt before the Queen and said hesitantly
"The Crown Princess taught me a few words."
"Say"
The queen showed her majesty, and Concubine Wan was frightened and said quickly
"This is what the Crown Princess taught me. Ever since I entered the palace, I have been the only one favored by the Emperor. So I advised the Emperor to treat everyone equally, but the Emperor refused to listen. The Emperor just kept favoring me, favoring me, favoring me..."
Ye Qingge had to admire Wanpin's intelligence. Concubine Xie had just been demoted two levels, and she went to show off in front of others. Wouldn't she be beaten?
I really blamed myself for being too talkative yesterday.
After hearing this, the queen was stunned.
Concubine Rong said with a smile
"Your Majesty, did you hear that? Wanpin's words show that she doesn't take all the concubines in the harem seriously, and these are all taught by the Crown Princess."
"So what if it was the Crown Princess who taught her? Yesterday, Wanpin almost fainted while kneeling in the Imperial Garden. The Crown Princess helped her out of kindness, but she didn't expect to be bitten back. Humph..."
The Queen glared at Wanpin fiercely, and Wanpin was so frightened that she didn't dare to raise her head.
"The Crown Princess had just entered the palace and was kindhearted, so she helped Wanpin and taught her to say this. Wanpin has been in the palace for so long, doesn't she still know the rules of the harem? Weren't you the one who took the initiative to show off to Concubine Xie?!"
Wanpin's face flushed red, and she dared not utter a word.
The Queen immediately talked about the key point of the matter and diverted the focus of the problem. Ye Qingge admired her very much and she respected her mother who protected her even more.
"And Xie Cairen was the first to attack someone. You two really need to be disciplined."
"Come here, bring them away to me. Wanpin will be slapped thirty times, and Xie Cairen will be given thirty lashes. They will learn their lesson well."
When they heard they were going to be punished, they quickly begged the queen for mercy.
"My Queen, spare my life"
"My Queen, spare my life"
……
The queen shook her sleeves and ignored them. Several maids came up and dragged the two away.
The Queen wants to take Ye Qingge away
"Wait, the Queen seems to have forgotten that the culprit has not been punished yet."
Concubine Rong said unwillingly
The queen sneered
"I've made it very clear just now. This is all Concubine Wan's own fault. As for the Crown Princess, I will take her back and teach her a lesson. It's not Concubine Rong's turn to interfere with the discipline of my daughter-in-law!"
After the Queen finished speaking, she took Ye Qingge out of Jinxiu Palace. Concubine Rong was so angry that she gnashed her teeth behind them. It was such a miserable life without power!
Ye Qingge followed the Queen. She knew that the Queen was angry, but she still walked up to her and knelt down and said
"I'm sorry, mother. I know I was wrong."
The queen helped her up
"You have just entered the palace and are not familiar with many things. You must be careful in what you say and do in this harem. If someone catches you, they will hold you to account. I know you are helping Concubine Wan, but she is using you as a shield. In this harem, everyone will do anything to protect themselves. Never do this again in the future."
"Mother, I understand. I will never meddle in other people's affairs again."
"Um"
The queen nodded and took her back to Weiyang Palace.
This matter caused a great uproar and reached the ears of the emperor.
"Go and call the prince."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
……
"What does your Majesty want to see me for?"
"How dare you ask?"
The emperor put down the memorial and looked at him angrily.
"Can you take care of your wife?"
