Chapter 168 Changing clothes
"Royal sister, do you have any grudge against Princess Qinghe?"
Prince Li's words instantly broke the silence in the hall, making the others with strange expressions even more strange.
The princess angrily said, "Prince Li, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I have a grudge against the princess?"
Prince Li smiled and said, "Since my sister has no grudge against the princess, why did she deliberately spill the porridge on her just now? And now she won't let the princess leave. Could it be..."
It couldn't be something, Prince Li stopped at the right time.
But no one here is stupid. What can you do if your clothes get dirty at a banquet? I'm afraid that as soon as Princess Qinghe leaves this hall, someone will follow...
The eldest princess's expression changed slightly.
Queen Wang also spoke up, "Although Shu Ning was mischievous, she knew the seriousness of the matter. This Laba porridge was given to her by Your Majesty and I. She has always been filial, so why would she spill it? She must have accidentally spilled it on Princess Qinghe, right, Princess?"
After saying the last sentence, Queen Wang looked at Yan Qing.
The sharp sense of oppression in his eyes made others afraid to speak.
Even Concubine Xie, who had always been at odds with the Queen, did not speak.
As a result, Concubine Xie accidentally glanced and saw that Prince Jing had put down his bowl of porridge.
Concubine Xie's heart was filled with alarm.
Then she heard her troubled son say, "Empress, you can't ask the princess about this. She doesn't dare to tell you. You have to ask me. I just saw it. It was my sister who deliberately spilled the porridge on the princess. But I can't blame my sister. The porridge this year is really hard to drink. My sister probably couldn't finish it..."
"you shut up!"
Concubine Xie angrily scolded her stupid son and warned him not to talk too much.
Prince Jing complained, "Mother, why did you tell me to shut up? I'm telling the truth. My third brother saw it too. I'm not the only one who saw it..."
Concubine Xie almost fainted from anger.
How could she have given birth to such a stupid son? Didn't you see that the queen's face was as black as ash?
Why is he everywhere? He has no skills but loves to stir up trouble!
If it weren't for the Xie family and her protection, his son would have died countless times with his temper!
Prince Li watched the excitement without a care in the world: "Yes, Third Brother also saw it. Either the Imperial Sister has a grudge against the Princess, or she is dissatisfied with the gift bestowed by the Emperor..."
"King of Ceremony!"
Queen Wang gave Prince Li a warning look and said to Emperor Yong beside her, "Your Majesty, you know Shu Ning's temper. Regardless of how she accidentally soiled the princess's clothes, the most urgent thing is to get the princess downstairs and change into clean clothes. It's freezing cold, and it would be terrible if she got frozen."
At the end, if you didn't know about the worried look on her face, you would think Yan Qing was the Queen's biological daughter.
"Tsk tsk tsk~"
Prince Li spoke again: "If the princess is left to change clothes alone, what will happen if something happens? Don't you think so, Queen..."
"Prince Li, you are so brave!"
Queen Wang suddenly scolded, "Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet, and you have no right to interrupt?"
Prince Li shrugged and said nothing more.
He didn't really care whether Yan Qing would be in danger or not. He just wanted to watch the fun and make things difficult for the Queen.
Prince Li rolled his eyes and suddenly turned to Gu Huaizhou beside him: "Fourth brother, the princess is your fiancée, aren't you worried?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Gu Huaizhou stood up and said, "Qingqing's clothes are dirty. I will go downstairs with her to change clothes."
"How about that?"
Queen Wang said calmly, "Fourth Prince, although His Majesty has granted the marriage, the princess is still a girl, and you haven't gotten married yet. It's not appropriate for you to accompany the princess. Nanny Wang, you can accompany..."
"enough!"
Emperor Yong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted.
He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache, and said, "Wang Shun, you come and take the princess downstairs to change into clean clothes. You must take good care of the princess yourself."
It was just the Laba Festival, but something bad happened. He never had a peaceful day.
"Your Majesty, please let me..."
"Queen, I am tired."
Emperor Yong glanced at the Empress coldly and stood up: "I still have to review the memorials, please do as you please."
After saying this, he left without caring about Queen Wang.
Queen Wang looked at Emperor Yong's back with a gloomy expression.
In the past, His Majesty would give her some face for the sake of the Wang family, but now he regards her even less.
It seems that we really can't wait any longer.
Queen Wang glanced at Prince Li, and finally at Gu Huaizhou. She snorted coldly and left.
Yan Qing was taken away by Eunuch Wang to change clothes.
Eunuch Wang was close to Emperor Yong and was very careful and meticulous in his work.
He took Yan Qing to the changing room to change clothes, but did not let Yan Qing in immediately. Instead, he ordered his men to check the changing room inside and out and replace it with clean incense. Then he said to Yan Qing, "My princess, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Please change your clothes."
Yan Qing gave him an approving look.
As expected, the palace is full of cunning people.
After changing clothes in the dressing room, Eunuch Wang took Yan Qing back to the main hall along the same route.
As a result, halfway through, I met a few young men walking towards this side.
"Eunuch Wang?"
One of the men stepped forward and asked, "Why isn't Eunuch Wang serving His Majesty? Hey, who is this beauty?"
Eunuch Wang frowned. How could Young Master Qin be in the palace?
He stepped forward to block Yan Qing slightly, then replied: "Young Master Qin, this is Princess Qinghe."
"Princess Qinghe?"
Young Master Qin, who had obviously been drinking, asked his companions, "When did a Princess Qinghe appear in Kyoto? Who is she?"
The young men who were traveling with them all shook their heads, looking confused.
Instead, the young eunuch who followed them stepped forward and said, "Young Master Qin, Princess Qinghe is the legitimate daughter of the former Minister Yan Junyuan..."
"Oh, is that the woman who married Lu Qiaonan?"
"The princess had already divorced Prince Lu, and Prince Lu has passed away..."
"what?"
Qin Yu was half sober. He suddenly grabbed the young eunuch by the collar and shouted angrily, "How could Lu Qiaonan die? How did he die?"
"This……"
The young eunuch hesitated and looked at Yan Qing meaningfully.
Yan Qing's eyes darkened slightly. She thought that she had avoided the trap of changing clothes and everything would be fine, but she didn't expect that there was another trap waiting for her.
Your surname is Qin?
Can I still come and go freely in the palace?
After thinking about it, Yan Qing roughly guessed who the other person was.
Queen Wang is really full of tricks.
She stepped forward and said, "Prince Lu was drowned."
Qin Yu's attention was immediately drawn. He looked at Yan Qing and asked, "Do you know how Brother Lu died?"
Yan Qing said slowly, "Young Master, I guess you don't stay in Kyoto often, do you? If you ask around, you'll know what happened between Prince Lu and Princess Wang. Princess Wang is still at the Lu family, keeping her chastity for Prince Lu."
Hearing this, Qin Yu immediately left everyone behind and said, "No, I have to find out how Brother Lu died!"
