I took over after the heroine of the abusive novel ran away

Chapter 116 I Want to Be the Queen Mother (9)

Concubine Hui had a good eye. I don’t know if she was afraid that Fang Qingci would deliberately pick ugly people, but the people she chose were all very beautiful. They were pretty little beauties and very pleasing to the eye.

Fang Qingci was in a good mood. It didn't matter who she took a concubine to. Since Concubine Hui was so generous, she accepted her with a smile.

When leaving the palace, Fang Qingci met the third prince's wife, Princess Ping.

"Third sister-in-law is also coming to the palace today to pay respects to Concubine Yun!" Fang Qingci greeted with a smile.

"Yeah! Fourth sister-in-law, um~ what is this?"

Princess Ping looked at the group of palace maids behind Fang Qingci with a puzzled expression.

"Oh, mother is worried that my prince has no one to serve the people he has been bestowed with."

"This, so many?" Princess Ping was a little shocked. If she remembered correctly, it hadn't been a month since Prince Huai got married, and Concubine Hui had already sent ten palace maids to the Prince Huai's Mansion. How dissatisfied must she be with Princess Huai!

Princess Ping looked at Fang Qingci with eyes filled with sympathy.

She suddenly felt that compared with Fang Qingci, Concubine Yun was much better. Well, although Concubine Yun also induced labor, at least she was not in a hurry to give birth to a child when she just got married to Prince Heping.

"Not many, not many, just ten." Fang Qingci waved his hand and said indifferently.

Princess Ping:......

Princess Ping swallowed the words of comfort that were about to come out of her mouth.

Looking at Princess Huai's appearance, it seems that she does not need comfort.

"Fourth brother's wife, you are so generous." Princess Ping said dryly.

It's amazing that she can still laugh.

Is this the demeanor of the most noble lady in the capital?

"No, no, it's just average." Fang Qingci said modestly.

After saying that, Fang Qingci carefully pulled Princess Ping over and whispered in her ear, "I'm telling you something in secret. In fact, it was Concubine Hui who was worried that my prince would not be able to have children, so she gave him so many palace maids."

Princess Ping was stunned. Prince Huai couldn't have children? Did she know something terrible?

Fang Qingci, accompanied by the palace maids, slowly left the palace. Whenever she met someone during the trip, Fang Qingci would enthusiastically tell them about Concubine Hui's worry that Prince Huai would not be able to give birth, and her eagerness to have a grandson.

Not long after Fang Qing resigned, everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Hui was worried that Prince Huai would not be able to have children, so she specially gave ten palace maids so that she could have a grandson as soon as possible.

Some people sympathized with Fang Qingci, while others felt sorry for King Huai.

Not being able to have children is not only a pain for women, but also for men.

When the news reached Shufang Palace, Concubine Hui was so angry that she smashed a set of her favorite teacups.

Fang Qingci! This bitch, she was wondering why she was so obedient and took the person back. It turned out that he was waiting for her here.

Here, Fang Ruoyan was trembling with fear for several days because of Fang Qingci's words. Instead of waiting for Qin Yu to come and question her, she waited for Princess Changning to punish her first.

Princess Changning hired several maids to teach Fang Ruoyan the rules, and they tortured her to the point of being miserable.

These governesses have many ways of torturing people secretly, but they cannot seem to make mistakes on the surface.

Fang Ruoyan knew that this was Princess Changning venting her anger on behalf of Fang Qingci. She couldn't stand it anymore after a few days, so she found an opportunity to run to the study to complain to Fang's father.

Facing Mr. Fang's accusation, Princess Changning remained calm.

"Master, you are being unkind in saying this. I sacrificed my dignity to invite these maids from the palace. They all have the best manners and etiquette. Didn't Master ask me to find her a wife? She is not like Cici. She has a different social status. If she wants to find a good family, she has to work hard on herself. I am doing this for her own good."

This directly left Mr. Fang speechless.

Father Fang's suggestion didn't work, and Fang Ruoyan was detained in the mansion by Princess Changning, leaving her no chance to go out.

Fang Ruoyan had no choice. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to take the risk and write a letter to Qin Yu for help.

The pearl flower was still in her hand. When Fang Qingci saved Qin Yu, no one else saw it except her. Even if Fang Qingci said that the pearl flowers were hers, she could also say that Fang Qingci gave them to her. It all depends on who Qin Yu believes.

Thinking about the suffering she had endured during this period, Fang Ruoyan decided to take a gamble.

Anyway, she has completely offended Princess Changning and her daughter now. Princess Changning and Fang Qingci will not let her go. She might as well hold on to the Fourth Prince tightly and make things difficult for Fang Qingci.

After figuring it out, Fang Ruoyan had someone secretly deliver a letter to Qin Yu. In the letter, she tested Qin Yu's attitude towards her while complaining to Qin Yu, openly and secretly complaining to him to please Fang Qingci.

However, she didn't know that Qin Yu did not receive the letter because the letter fell into Fang Qingci's hands.

Princess Changning didn't take Fang Ruoyan seriously before, which is why Fang Ruoyan did such a small trick and made Fang Ruoyan think she was so powerful.

Princess Changning is the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion and has the final say. If she really takes Fang Ruoyan seriously, she will have no chance to send the letter out.

After Princess Changning intercepted Fang Ruoyan's letter, she did not deal with her immediately, but came to Prince Huai's Mansion to find Fang Qingci.

"Ci Ci, what are you going to do?"

Fang Qingci put down the letter in his hand, thought for a moment, and whispered an idea into Princess Changning's ear.

Princess Changning had a strange look on her face after hearing this. "Your trick... What if the Fourth Prince doesn't go?"

Fang Qingci promised solemnly, "Mom, don't worry, he will go."

Fang Qingci actually admired Fang Ruoyan's methods. Or maybe it was because all men liked green tea girls and little white flowers. In the early stage, Qin Yu always responded to Fang Ruoyan's requests.

Rather than saying that Qin Yu likes Fang Ruoyan because of her life-saving grace, it is better to say that Qin Yu himself likes Fang Ruoyan as a person.

Qin Yu received Fang Ruoyan's letter and felt very sorry for her situation.

Fang Ruoyan was detained in the mansion by Princess Changning, and Qin Yu had not contacted her for a long time.

Now that he knew Fang Ruoyan's situation, he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Fang Ruoyan that night without any hesitation.

As soon as the two met, Fang Ruoyan had only spoken halfway through her heartfelt confession when torches suddenly lit up outside the house.

It turned out that Fang's father had learned that a thief had broken into the house and had gone to Fang Ruoyan's room, so he hurriedly brought people to catch the thief.

Qin Yu's face turned dark and he quickly jumped out of the window to leave.

Although he was not afraid of the prime minister, he was the Prince of Huai. If it were to be known that he visited a noble lady's boudoir at night, where would he save his face?

Qin Yu jumped off the windowsill and felt a pain on his foot. A mousetrap had caught his foot. Fortunately, he didn't cry out. Listening to the footsteps getting closer, Qin Yu gritted his teeth and ran away with the mousetrap.

The next day, the news that a flower thief had entered the Prime Minister's residence spread like wildfire in the capital.

Qin Yu did not go to court, but stayed in his house recuperating with a stern face.

However, the days of recuperating in the mansion were not very pleasant.

Qin Yu, leaning on a cane, saw from afar in the pavilion that Fang Qingci was leaning on the chaise longue, listening to tunes and enjoying the singing and dancing. A beauty was sitting next to her, massaging her and feeding her fruits, looking like she was enjoying herself to the fullest.

Qin Yu:......

No, he remembered that these people seemed to be concubines given to him by his mother!

Why does it feel like it was accepted by Fang Qingci?

Seeing Fang Qingci enjoying himself, Qin Yu inexplicably felt like he was being cuckolded.
