Chapter 251: Pressing forward step by step, surpassing the master
"My Lady, you are so considerate of the overall situation. If the prince takes a fancy to a young lady from the Luo family, should he be brought to the Huaiyang Palace to be his concubine?" the princess asked calmly.
Before Concubine Luo could react, the princess added, "The prince can raise as many girls as he likes. Even if we raise all the girls of the Luo family to the Huaiyang Palace, we can afford it."
This is simply a naked humiliation!
Concubine Luo choked. Seeing that she was about to lose the argument with the princess, she felt anxious, and suddenly an idea came to her mind, and she looked at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, you just said that you would reward Liao Yunfei well. This is the only small wish she has. Your Majesty is not joking."
With just one word, Concubine Luo dragged the emperor into this.
She has lost her mind!
Today, even if I risk being punished by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, I must disgust the Princess and let Liao Yunfei, this restless woman, enter the Prince's backyard!
"Enough!" The Queen Mother suddenly shouted angrily in a serious tone.
The few people who were originally standing knelt down one after another.
"Liao Yunfei was summoned into the palace by me, and her affairs are decided by me. Your Majesty, what do you think?" The empress dowager asked for the emperor's opinion.
"It's all up to you, mother." The emperor had no objection.
Liao Yunfei suddenly became nervous, not knowing what the outcome would be.
Concubine Luo couldn't guess the Queen Mother's thoughts and was a little worried that all her hard work would be in vain.
She also didn't expect that for such a small matter, the attitude of the Duke's Mansion and the Huaiyang Prince's Mansion would be so firm!
Liao Yunfei is not an outsider, she is a relative of the Duke's Mansion, and I have raised her for more than two years. What is there to disagree with!
Aren’t you afraid of offending the emperor?
The two instigators were secretly worried, but the person being plotted against had calmed down and even guessed the final outcome.
Today, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, who are truly holding the key, will not let them get away with it!
"Where is the Crown Prince's wife?" the Queen Mother suddenly asked.
Ji Chuhe immediately stood up and went to the inner hall to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
"Your Highness greets the Empress Dowager and His Majesty."
"Ji Chuhe, what do you think about this matter? I want to hear your opinion." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.
"To reply to the Empress Dowager, I have already expressed my attitude on the issue of the Crown Prince taking a concubine. If the Crown Prince is interested and the woman has no ulterior motives and behaves herself after entering the mansion, she will be the most respected among the ten or eight wives. However, Miss Liao has none of these, so naturally I am unwilling to let such a person in." Ji Chuhe responded indifferently.
Liao Yunfei turned pale after hearing Ji Chuhe's words.
She couldn't help but look at the old lady of the Duke's Mansion beside her.
On weekdays, didn't the old lady of the Duke's Mansion love her very much? How could she suddenly become so strange? It was as if she didn't know her.
Before she decided to do this, she had bet that the people in the Duke's Mansion still had some affection for her and would not make things too embarrassing. Now it seems that she was wrong, very wrong.
The kindness that the people in the Duke's Mansion showed her was all superficial, just to coax her!
When it really comes to a critical moment, they can all come over and step on her hard!
Even her own aunt didn't care about her life or death.
Ji Chuhe's words made the empress dowager feel a little embarrassed.
But this answer was flawless and didn't even give her the chance to lecture her as a mistress about not being jealous.
"Empress Dowager, first of all, the Crown Prince doesn't like Miss Liao. Secondly, Miss Liao's character is also questionable. Since she has the Crown Prince in her heart, she can no longer discuss marriage with Lord Luo. She knows what she has done, but she still asks for rewards at your birthday banquet. It's simply lawless! How can a little commoner girl have the face to dare to ask for such a thing? Whose influence does she rely on?"
Ji Chuhe's voice suddenly became sharp, and when he said the words "whose power are you relying on", his eyes were looking at Concubine Luo.
Obviously, it was the emperor and the empress dowager who indulged.
Concubine Luo is just a knife sharpened to an extremely sharp level by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. In fact, not only Concubine Luo, but the entire Luo family is the knife of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
Ji Chuhe's words seemed to be questioning the Imperial Concubine, but in fact, they were questioning the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
Even the emperor and the empress dowager could not do anything to Ji Chuhe with this kind of questioning.
Ji Chuhe's move made the Queen Mother a little confused.
"Empress Dowager, I think that Liao Yunfei should be dragged down and severely punished for deliberately disrupting your birthday banquet! Otherwise, anyone will dare to have wild ideas in the future! If Liao Yunfei is not punished, I am afraid that in the future, more people will take advantage of the Empress Dowager's kindness and make all kinds of demands if they show a little favor to her." Ji Chuhe added.
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment.
She knew that Princess Huaiyang was not an easy person to deal with, but she didn't expect that Ji Chuhe would be even better than her!
The princess felt nervous, fearing that the Queen Mother would find a reason to kill Ji Chuhe.
There is no room for maneuver in this statement, and I am afraid that the emperor and the empress dowager will be forced into a dilemma.
By doing this, she put herself in danger!
"Madam, I understand what you said. You are worried that Liao Yunfei has bad intentions, so you are unwilling to accept her. I have had some contact with her in the past two days. I think she is just a simple girl who is blinded by love. Things have come to this point, and there must be a result." The Queen's voice suddenly sounded.
The princess secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, only the queen can save the situation.
"Empress Dowager, for a girl who has come to this point, if she cannot achieve her wish, there is only one way left for her. How can she have the dignity to live in this world? God is merciful. Considering that she has been by your side every day and played the piano for you during this period of time, I beg you, Empress Dowager, to reward her." The queen persuaded softly.
These words just gave the Queen Mother a way out.
Concubine Luo was a little surprised and couldn't understand why the queen suddenly stood on her side!
Liao Yunfei was also secretly happy.
The Queen Mother has pleaded for her, she will definitely get what she wants!
"Empress Dowager, I'm not very good at speaking. In fact, I mean what the Empress said." Concubine Luo quickly interjected.
"Empress Dowager, I know that because of this incident, Princess Huaiyang, the Crown Prince's wife, and the people in the Duke's Mansion have developed a strong prejudice against me. I don't want to defend myself. I just hope that a journey of a thousand miles can tell a person's true character, and time will tell if he has a true character." After Liao Yunfei finished speaking, she bowed deeply again.
"Time reveals a person's true character. Princess Huaiyang, the Duke's wife, the Crown Prince's wife, today I will make the decision to give Liao Yunfei to the Crown Prince. This girl has been in front of me these days, and I don't think she has bad intentions. She just loves the Crown Prince so much that her behavior is a little inappropriate."
