Chapter 610: The Foolish Woman Who Fakes Her Death for a Man (7)
This caught the queen off guard. She had to watch helplessly as the eldest princess, who was only fifteen years old, was sent on the journey to marry a foreign prince.
How could the Queen not hate this!
Now with the addition of the Zhongyi Palace, the Queen is even more confident.
He gave the two of them many rewards before letting them leave.
Just as the two were passing through the imperial garden, they suddenly encountered the imperial concubine's guard of honor.
As the younger generation, the couple gave her a junior salute.
Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine would act so recklessly and not let the two of them get up for a long time.
Shuangshuang rolled her eyes and pulled Li Xiangyu up and said something.
"let's go!"
The imperial concubine has always been angry because Shuangshuang would rather marry a fool than her own son.
At this moment, I completely forgot the other person's identity and imagined treating them like other people, giving them a warning.
But who would have thought that Shuangshuang would not accept the challenge at all.
"stop!"
He glanced at his personal maid with displeasure.
The personal palace maid reached out to stop the couple who wanted to go over and turned the blame on them.
"My Lord, Princess, how dare you be so disrespectful to the Imperial Concubine!"
Shuangshuang slapped him twice without saying a word.
"Slut, is there any place for you to speak here?"
As the saying goes, you should look at the owner before beating a dog. Shuangshuang's call of "bitch" instantly made the imperial concubine tremble with anger!
"Princess Jianning is so majestic!"
Since they have fallen out, Shuangshuang will naturally not treat her well.
"Okay, okay, it's not as big as the Imperial Concubine's."
"You, you are such a sharp-tongued Princess Jianning!"
Li Xiangyu was instantly displeased when he saw that the imperial concubine dared to mention Shuangshuang.
"My Lady, a good dog doesn't block the road. What on earth are you doing?"
"You...you are so disrespectful to me!"
Li Xiangyu frowned. "We have already saluted you, what else do you want?"
After saying that, he pulled Shuangshuang away.
Returning to the palace where the couple lived, Shuangshuang quickly gave instructions to Cuilan.
"Hurry up and change this suit for me. It's too heavy."
This is the princess's court dress, and the patterns on it are embroidered with gold and silver threads.
There are nine pieces in total, long and short, and they are both thick and heavy.
The bandage forced Shuangshuang to walk slowly with her head held high and her chest held high, and she really couldn't move freely.
The two had just changed their clothes, and Li Xiangyu was sitting on Shua Shua and acting coquettishly.
A young eunuch from the Qinzheng Hall came in to report.
"Your Majesty, Princess, the Emperor invites you."
Li Xiangyu was so angry that he stamped his feet and complained with a pout.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? We just came back and took a break."
Shuangshuang asked Xiaojuzi, "Is it related to what happened with the imperial concubine just now?"
"Yes, she is crying to the emperor, saying that you two are disrespectful to your stepmother and don't take her seriously.
The emperor was annoyed by her crying and said, "Since that's the case, please go over and ask what's going on."
Shuangshuang didn't delay, got up and took Li Xiangyu to Qinzheng store.
The imperial concubine was crying bitterly at this time, and she looked like she would not stop until the emperor punished the young couple.
The emperor was overwhelmed by her sobbing.
Just when I was feeling extremely upset, I finally saw the couple come in.
He waved his hand to interrupt the two people before they even finished their greetings.
"Alright, alright, get up quickly!"
Li Xiangyu looked unhappy, so his words were harsh.
"Father, I just got home and haven't rested yet. What's the matter?"
The emperor didn't care about Li Xiangyu's tone, and he even lowered his voice to coax him.
"Um, Yu'er, Father asked you to come here because he wants to ask you something.
You have to answer your father's words honestly, understand?"
"Okay, what's the matter? Ask quickly."
"It's like this. Just now, the Imperial Concubine said that you were disrespectful to her and didn't salute her. Is that true?"
When Li Xiangyu saw that the imperial concubine dared to wrongly accuse him, he instantly jumped to his feet in anger.
“We greeted her, but she fell asleep in no time and wouldn’t let Shuangshuang and I get up.
My legs are numb from standing. If I don't get up on my own, do we have to pay our respects to her for the whole day she sleeps?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor looked at the imperial concubine with displeasure.
Li Xiangyu didn't know why the imperial concubine suddenly fell asleep at that time, but of course he knew.
This is just a method used by the high-ranking concubines in the harem to control the lower-ranking concubines.
But the emperor never expected that this imperial concubine would be so bold.
Relying on his favor for her, he even dared to use such means on his own eldest son.
The imperial concubine never expected that this little fool would actually complain to her in front of her.
Didn’t he just focus on having fun before?
When he saw the emperor's cold face again, he suddenly felt panicked.
Just as he was about to explain something, Li Xiangyu continued talking.
"You still have the nerve to say I disrespect her!
Humph, I am the only good and polite kid.
Otherwise, you can go and ask all the civil and military officials in the court.
Which eldest son would show such respect to a concubine?"
This instantly reminded the Imperial Concubine of how she was always inferior to the Empress, and she felt even more wronged and burst into tears.
"Your Majesty, I will not live any longer! So this is how the eldest prince sees me."
Li Xiangyu quit before the emperor could even coax him.
"Then how do you want me to see you? Did I say something wrong?
Do you want me to go to each of my ministers' homes and ask them if I'm wrong?"
The emperor was speechless for a moment. Looking at his son's face full of indignation, he really couldn't say anything.
Even if they are both concubines, the rank in the palace is naturally different from that outside the palace.
In the end, Li Xiangyu angrily dragged Shuangshuang away, who had no room to develop.
The imperial concubine was left feeling ashamed and annoyed, and cried even more sadly.
Only when the emperor agreed to her request and was willing to find two concubines with prominent family backgrounds for the third prince did she stop crying.
After returning, he didn't bother to cause trouble for Shuangshuang and Li Xiangyu.
And he gave orders to the palace maid in a hurry.
"Go and find out about all the unmarried ladies in the capital.
This time, I will personally select two excellent girls from among hundreds of thousands to be concubines for my prince!"
The head maid acted very quickly. In fact, ever since Shuangshuang broke off the engagement with the third prince.
She had been trying to find out which young lady in the capital could be worthy of becoming the consort of her son, the Third Prince.
The head palace maid brought two young eunuchs and brought over a whole box of scrolls.
"Your Majesty, these are what I collected earlier.
Aside from a few engaged girls who were brought out by servants, all the unmarried girls from officials of the third rank and above in the capital are here."
The imperial concubine looked at the head maid with admiration and said something impatiently.
"Open it and take a look!"
The two eunuchs immediately picked up a scroll, opened it and placed it in front of the imperial concubine.
It contains not only the girl's portrait, but also her age, date of birth, her father's official position, her mother's family background, and so on.
The imperial concubine patiently looked through the entire box, and finally picked out the second daughter of the Left Prime Minister and the eldest daughter of the Dingbei Marquis.
