Xiao Junzhan lowered his eyes and said: "After tonight, not a single snake will appear in the palace again."
"promise!"
"Tomorrow you will go back to the capital in person to investigate this matter thoroughly. No matter who is involved, there is no need to show mercy." Xiao Junzhan said in a calm tone, "Since they dare to take action, I must let them know what it means to be timid."
Xie Li knelt down on one knee and accepted the order: "Yes, I will obey the order."
………………
Several ministers witnessed the snake encounter in the back garden of the inner city, and Xiao Junzhan did not specifically block the news. Therefore, the news soon spread to the outer city, and all the ministers and their families heard the news.
There was a lot of speculation at the moment.
The residence of the Duke of Qi.
"How could that person be so lucky?" Qi Yuxiao slapped his hand on the table and snorted angrily: "How could he escape unscathed in such a dangerous situation when being chased by a group of snakes?"
"Yes, I heard that some people in this world have great blessings and have luck that others don't have."
Liu Wanning looked calm and sighed: "I think Miss Wei must be the blessed person in the legend."
"Hmph, she is not a lucky person." Qi Yuxiao said with disdain, "She is charming and coaxed into favoring her for a while. It won't take long for Uncle Huang to see through her true face and see how good you are, Sister Liu." .”
Liu Wanning smiled faintly and said nothing. She only raised her hand to pour her a cup of tea. Her movements were elegant and quiet, and she looked good. When Qi Yuxiao saw her, she felt sorry for the handkerchief.
What a beautiful woman, as beautiful as a flower. She has been lovingly waiting for the emperor's uncle for many years. She has a strong heart, but now she has been robbed of everything by a country girl who doesn't know where she came from!
Thinking of myself again... I was even more sad.
The two sisters really had the same problem, and they fell into the hands of the same woman and had her steal their sweetheart.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, Sister Liu. Knowing that the man was almost bitten by a snake, my husband, who has always been a good-natured man, changed his face because of his anxiety." Qi Yuxiao sneered: "You are younger than me, but your skills are amazing. Could it be? You've been learning to be charming since you were born? If she starts teaching in class, I will definitely come and learn from her."
These days, Liu Wanning has become accustomed to hearing her sarcastic words. She looked worried when she heard her words and said, "Young Master Gu, haven't you..."
"Don't mention him! I get annoyed when I mention him. Why did I fall in love with him so much in the first place!" Qi Yuxiao's eyes turned red and she almost shed tears: "Since the day we got married, I haven't been married. When he came to my room, people who didn’t know yet thought he was guarding someone.”
"...This," Liu Wanning frowned, not knowing how to comfort her. She handed her a handkerchief and asked softly, "Don't you know, Your Highness the Princess?"
"My mother-in-law didn't approve of me marrying into the Gu family at first, but she agreed later for some reason, but she also made me a little annoyed... How can I tell her about this kind of thing?"
Should she tell her mother and ask her to force Gu Yunran to consummate the marriage with her?
No matter how overbearing Qi Yuxiao is, he can't do such a thing.
So embarrassing.
The more embarrassed she felt, the more she hated the person who made her suffer such humiliation.
Thinking of what happened to Wei Hanzhang today, a hint of coldness appeared on Qi Yuxiao's face: "Let me just say that she is too poor to bear the great favor of the emperor. I don't know how many people can't stand her."
She picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then laughed and said, "I almost died laughing when I thought about the scene of her being chased by a snake and being scared out of her wits."
"Cheng Yi," Liu Wanning shook her head in disapproval and advised, "You should be careful what you say. After all, she is the princess who has received the imperial edict. If others listen, you will be punished again."
"I'm afraid she will do nothing but be a coquettish girl who only knows how to blow pillows!"
There was fear on Qi Yuxiao's face, but she said firmly: "I heard from my mother-in-law that the imperial uncle promised to restore me to the title of princess when I get married, but he didn't mention it later. She must have been the one who got it. It's a hindrance." As she said this, she slapped the table angrily: "Why didn't those snakes bite her to death?"
If she is really bitten to death, she will be pure.
"No matter what, she is definitely the Crown Princess and will never allow us to make sarcastic remarks." Liu Wanning said with a serious face, "She was in danger when she first came to the palace. His Highness the Crown Prince did not cover up the news. He must also have the intention of beating others up."
Qi Yuxiao was startled and asked, "What did Sister Liu mean?"
"The future Crown Princess is frightened. It's okay if she doesn't know about it. Now that we have the news, the ministers and their families will definitely go to pay their respects." Liu Wanning smiled lightly: "Your Highness thinks that the imperial edict is not fair enough, and he can't wait to sit down immediately. It’s better to confirm her identity.”
"What?" Qi Yuxiao slammed the table and said angrily: "I won't go!"
Those who can accompany the other palaces are all important officials of the court, and all their family members are the wives of Gaoming. It is beyond what a boudoir girl like her can afford to pay homage to these court ladies.
I'm really not afraid of having bad luck and losing my life.
Hearing this, Liu Wanning smiled gently and did not persuade her.
On the contrary, Qi Yuxiao saw her demure and gentle look and couldn't bear to say: "Why don't you go? I want to ask her what her plans are for you. Since the emperor's uncle has set a precedent for welcoming a concubine, she can be the first in the East Palace." If you are a palace concubine, there will definitely be a second one soon, let’s see if she is more sensible and takes the initiative to give you a title.”
"She can't be the only one in my uncle's harem anyway."
After saying that, Qi Yuxiao sneered and said: "She is still young, and they say that young girls are not easy to entertain. When you enter the East Palace and give birth to the emperor's eldest son first, it is not certain who will win by then." Woolen cloth."
"I don't have that big ambition, and I won't compete with her for anything." Liu Wanning smiled lightly and said harmlessly: "As long as there is a place for me in the East Palace, that's enough."
Although she was angry that the position of the Crown Princess had fallen to another family, it was not that hard to accept.
Even, deep down, I felt a little relieved.
That man's hard-hearted heart was finally shaken.
If she can't become the big dish that impresses him, then it might as well be an embellishment in her spare time.
Although Qi Yuxiao was stupid, she was right. As long as she could enter the East Palace, even if she was just a small concubine, it would be better than waiting hopelessly day after day.
As for the fact that His Royal Highness has only one wife in his harem, neither of them has ever thought about it.
It’s ridiculous.
It would be fine if the East Palace never welcomes people, but since it is an exception, once His Highness has a taste of love, he will definitely fall in love with all the beauties in the world like other men in the world.
After all, no matter how much you love a dish, you will always get tired of the taste, and no matter how much you love a person, there will be a time when it becomes dull.
As long as she can enter his backyard, it will all depend on her ability. No matter how hard she tries, she still has to be looked after by him.
Even if the starting line is different, the winner is the one who laughs at the end.
She, Liu Wanning, has never given up.
If you can't be the love of your heart for a while, what does it matter? (End of chapter)
