Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 422 Reporting

The Eighth Princess went crazy again after today's stimulation. Concubine Meng, who had finally comforted her daughter, complained to Emperor Ming in annoyance: "The Ninth Princess is such a big person. She knows Qingyuan has such a problem, but she still behaves like this." After trying to stimulate her, the child finally recovered for a few days, but now she is making her sick again."

Emperor Ming was partial to Zilai. Hearing this, he replied: "This Qingluan Zilai has a weird mind. I have already punished her for today's incident. I will order her to be sent back to the palace in the next half of the day."

Concubine Meng said reluctantly: "She is not only weird in temperament, she is simply vicious. Didn't you hear the palace people's report that when she was arguing with Qing Yuan today, she actually used the inkstone to hit Qing Yuan. Fortunately, the palace people stopped her. Otherwise, our daughter will not survive this time."

As she spoke, Concubine Meng shed tears.

Emperor Ming slapped the case in anger and said angrily: "I have always been kind, how could I give birth to a daughter with such a perverse temperament? Hey! What an enemy. When this time is over, I will send her away as soon as possible. Don't do it again. She causes trouble in the palace, and I really get a headache when I see her."

Although Concubine Meng protected her daughter, she was not confused about the importance. Now that Zhao Bi was deposed, it was the beginning of their career. She did not mention her daughter's faults, but only picked out the important ones.

"Your Majesty wants to support Jin'er to rise to power, but the Cao family is so powerful that he may not be willing to do so. I am afraid that they will be detrimental to Jin'er."

Emperor Ming replied: "In the past, I was indeed afraid of the Cao family, but it is different now."

Concubine Meng looked at Emperor Ming Yingying, gently tugged on his sleeves, and said with a smile: "What's different now? Your Majesty is still trying to get away with me. I'm really worried. Please tell me quickly." come on."

Although Meng is a mature woman, she is still very good at charming people by acting coquettishly and inviting favors.

Emperor Ming liked Concubine Meng the most. He stretched out his arms to take her into his arms and replied: "It was the eldest sister who proposed to depose the prince. Since the eldest sister does not intend to support Bi'er, she naturally acquiesces to Jin'er's succession to the throne." President, although the eldest sister has not been involved in worldly affairs for many years, her weight in the hearts of the veterans in the court has not diminished. With the support of the eldest sister and the Duke of Zhenguo, the Cao family is nothing."

Emperor Ming sighed slightly and continued: "Although the palms and backs of my hands are all flesh, I don't want to treat Bi'er like this, but he really disappointed me. It doesn't matter that he has no ability. If he can win over me, He will be able to secure the throne in the future, but he has offended people like Bo Yue. If Da Qi is handed over to him, it will probably not take three to five years for Da Qi to be crushed by foreigners. Oh! Da Qi has been in power for more than 300 years. Even if I have no merit, I cannot let this foundation be ruined in the hands of my son."

Different Emperor Ming and Concubine Meng were talking here. The palace servants came in and reported back, saying that it was the princess of Prince Jian's palace who wanted to see them.

 Zhao Yuan'er is a daughter of the royal family, and Emperor Ming is also her cousin, so Emperor Ming naturally knows about her.

After hearing Zhao Yuan'er's request for an audience, Emperor Ming looked at Concubine Meng in confusion and asked: "I remember that the princess of Prince Jian's Mansion was the matchmaker who pointed her out to Zhou Yi. I heard the queen say a while ago that she had a quarrel with Zhou Yi." It was so unpleasant that Zhou Yi divorced her, is there such a thing?"

Zhao Yuan'er was mediocre in appearance and had no talent or virtue. After word spread that she missed Li Ling, all the noble ladies in the capital laughed at her. At a tea party, Concubine Meng's niece Meng Zhenzhen took the lead in ridiculing her. Zhao Yuan'er was so angry that she killed Meng Zhen. She really pushed her into the water, thus offending Concubine Meng, who pointed her out to Zhou Yi in anger.

When Concubine Meng heard Emperor Ming mention this, she sneered and replied: "This Zhao Yuan'er was indeed pointed out to General Zhou by my concubine. Since marrying General Zhou, General Zhou has treated her kindly. It's because she is restless. That’s why he was abandoned.”

Speaking, Concubine Meng pretended to sigh: "If I had known that they were not a good match, I should not have gotten involved in this matter in the first place."

Why would Emperor Ming care about the fate of a clan girl? He just asked casually on a whim. Hearing this, he teased Concubine Meng and said: "This Zhao Yuan'er suddenly asked for a meeting while we were here. Most likely she still wants you to make the decision for her." , another good match."

Concubine Meng was surprised and said: "Your Majesty said this, you are promoting a concubine. When you pointed her out to Zhou Yi, it was not a good thing. She doesn't hate me. It is already a great kindness. How can you let a concubine marry me again?" The emperor can meet anyone anywhere, but he has nothing to do at the moment. With curiosity in his heart, he said to Concubine Meng: "Then I will make a bet with my beloved concubine to see if Mrs. Zhao is here to beg for help." You decide."

Emperor Ming was so interested, and Concubine Meng had no reason not to cooperate. She said happily: "Okay, I'll let her in. I'm also curious about what Zhao Yuan'er wants."

After a while, the palace maid brought Zhao Yuan'er in. Concubine Meng asked anxiously: "Why did the princess meet with me?"

Zhao Yuan'er hated Concubine Meng so much that she raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Meng, then turned to Emperor Ming and said, "I have something important to report to the emperor's uncle."

Emperor Ming and Concubine Meng looked puzzled when they heard this. Emperor Ming laughed dryly and asked, "Why did Yuan'er meet me?"

Zhao Yuan'er didn't say a word, but presented the picked up inkstone that Qingluan had thrown away to Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming glanced at the inkstone and asked doubtfully, "Why are you showing me this?"

Zhao Yuan'er replied: "Uncle Huang, does he know where this inkstone comes from?"

Emperor Ming shook his head and said, "How could I know this?"

Zhao Yuan'er suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and said slowly: "This square inkstone belongs to the Ninth Princess. The Ninth Princess had an argument with the Eighth Princess in the back garden today and threw this inkstone at the Eighth Princess. It was left outside and happened to be I found it."

Emperor Ming said solemnly: "I have already punished Qingluan for this. Why do you come to tell me this?"

Zhao Yuan'er continued: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess's square inkstones are a pair. One piece is here with the Ninth Princess. Uncle Huang, where is the other one?"

Emperor Ming said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't keep showing off here."

Zhao Yuan'er quickly replied: "The other piece is at Zhou Yi's place."

Seeing that Emperor Ming hadn't reacted for a while, Zhao Yuan'er said directly: "The one on Qingluan's inkstone says 'Stick to the green mountains and never let go', and the one on Zhou Yi's says 'the original roots stand in the cliffs'. Uncle Emperor, you Haven’t you figured it out yet?”

Saying that, Zhao Yuan'er insisted: "Uncle Huang, that Zhou Yi had an affair with the deceased Concubine Li, and this Qingluan is their illegitimate daughter. Zhou Yi and the Zhenguo Duke's government deceived the emperor and ignored him. I can't bear the emperor's uncle being deceived by these treacherous people, so I came here to inform you."
