Chapter 268 The Domineering Princess 21
The conflict between the two today was planned by Queen Zheng.
I thought that after seeing Miss Yuan's face, Ah Zhi would be more cautious, but I didn't expect that he would still beat and scold her without mercy.
This made Queen Zheng so angry that her headache came back again.
She couldn't show any dissatisfaction yet, she just nodded towards Ah Zhi and said, "I really thank the princess for her kindness, but it is my duty to discipline the concubines, so I won't need the princess to do it for me next time."
In front of so many concubines, Queen Zheng must of course try to save her situation and absolutely cannot let Azhi lead her by the nose.
Concubine Wang yawned delicately and said, "Your Majesty the Queen is really heartless. The princess is kind enough to help you discipline the unruly newcomers, so why are you so cold in your words?"
Hearing Concubine Wang's voice, Queen Zheng glanced at her with some dissatisfaction, her eyes filled with disgust towards Concubine Wang.
It was Concubine Wang who almost took away her position as queen. If it weren't for her good relationship with the late queen, she probably wouldn't know who would be the queen now.
In recent years, Concubine Wang's second prince has been exceptionally intelligent and often receives praise from Emperor Lingyue.
This made Queen Zheng regard Concubine Wang and the Second Prince as threats, so naturally she was not in a good mood towards them.
Queen Zheng stood up and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Your Highness, please take care of your own affairs. I am the master of the six palaces. I know how to restrain the newcomers. You don't need to worry about it."
"I heard that the Second Prince already has a concubine at this age? Imperial Concubine, please take good care of the Second Prince and don't let him become a playboy."
I didn't expect it to involve the second prince.
The second prince did rescue a little girl outside a few days ago, but for some reason the news got to the palace, and it was also reported that the second prince had taken a concubine in the prince's mansion.
Concubine Wang frowned and sneered, "What are you saying, Queen? Even if the Second Prince took a concubine, he is a prince, born into a royal family, so isn't it okay for him to take a concubine?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is already eighteen years old, and he still has no one close to him. I know a famous doctor. Why don't we let him take a good look at him? Maybe next year, Your Highness the Crown Prince will have a grandson."
This was clearly a sign of concern for Yun Ling's health, but Queen Zheng heard something else behind his words, which seemed more like a mockery of Yun Ling's poor health.
Queen Zheng was just about to start scolding Consort Wei Wang, but unexpectedly Ah Zhi spoke up first, "What Consort Wei Wang said does make sense. We should ask the imperial physician to take a good look at our brother's health. What if there is something wrong with his health?"
"As the crown prince of Lingyue Country, my brother must be more careful."
Looking at the concubines whispering below and seeing that Yun Ling’s own sister was mocking Yun Ling, what else could Queen Zheng say?
At this time, Ah Zhi bowed to Queen Zheng and said, "This princess has already come to pay her respects today, so I won't disturb the Queen and the ladies anymore."
Watching Azhi turn around and leave gracefully, Queen Zheng forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart.
His sight could not help but fall on Yuan Meiren, who was covering her face with a wronged look.
Empress Zheng waved her hands in annoyance, "Forget it, you can all go home today. The weather is getting colder, so I won't keep you in Kunning Palace anymore."
As soon as Ah Zhi left Kunning Palace, she asked where Emperor Lingyue was. When she heard that Emperor Lingyue was in the Yangxin Palace, she immediately took Jiangzhu to the Yangxin Palace.
This time, Azhi walked into the palace without crying or making a fuss. When Emperor Lingyue saw Azhi coming to find him, there was an obvious flash of guilt in his eyes.
Ever since the late Queen visited Concubine Yuan on her birthday, Emperor Lingyue hasn't seen Azhi for a long time.
At first I thought Azhi would come and make a noise, but unexpectedly Azhi just respectfully saluted Emperor Lingyue.
"Your son greets His Majesty, Father."
"Get up." Emperor Lingyue put down what he was doing and asked, "What's wrong? Have you been wronged?"
Ah Zhi stood there obediently and said uneasily, "Father, I beat up Lady Yuan."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and pulled at her handkerchief, looking at her precious daughter who showed a rare look of uneasiness.
Emperor Lingyue stood up and walked in front of her. He personally lifted Ah Zhi's head with his hands and said softly, "You are my princess. Even if you cause a huge disaster, I will not be angry with you."
"Yu'er, I was wrong this time. When I saw Lady Yuan's face that day, I couldn't help but think of your dead mother. She was standing under the moon like this back then. I really miss her so much."
"Although I am the emperor, I am also a mortal. I cannot escape the seven emotions and six desires. I miss your mother too much."
Looking at the tears flashing in Emperor Lingyue's eyes, Azhi raised his handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears for Emperor Lingyue.
"Father, there is something fishy about Lady Yuan's origins. She chose to appear on Mother's birthday. I think you should think carefully about this."
"Your son respects your father's choice, and your mother will also understand your father's difficulties."
Yun Yuyu likes to quarrel on weekdays and wants to compete for victory or defeat in everything.
Now, facing Azhi's understanding and well-behaved appearance, Emperor Lingyue felt distressed.
My precious daughter should be a willful princess and there is no need for her to behave so sensible and obedient.
He immediately took Ah Zhi's words to heart, "Don't worry, Yu'er, your father will never let you suffer in vain."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Azhi took his leave and left the Qinzheng Hall.
On the palace road, Jiangzhu supported Ah Zhi and asked in confusion, "Princess, why didn't you let His Majesty make the decision for you just now? His Majesty should have been informed of what happened in Kunning Palace. What if Concubine Yuan goes to complain?"
"Complain?" Ah Zhi sneered, "As long as the emperor has suspicions, he will naturally investigate thoroughly regardless of the consequences."
"He is just a chess piece sent by someone else. Father values his life very much now. How could he allow someone with ulterior motives to stay by his side?"
Just as Azhi had expected, Concubine Yuan was banished to the cold palace in the afternoon.
She was originally the woman brought by Queen Zheng. Even though Emperor Lingyue was attached to her face, he was still unwilling to keep someone else's chess piece by his side. She could be discarded at will after the novelty wore off.
In the cold palace, Concubine Yuan was being forced to face slaps. She wanted to go and complain while bearing the slap marks, but she did not expect to arouse the disgust of Emperor Lingyue.
This beauty hadn't even had time to warm up to her position when she was thrown into the cold palace to fend for herself.
Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Yuan's fate was caused by Azhi, so no one wanted to offend Azhi anymore.
The next day, Jiangzhu told Azhi that Zhou Linxi's gold had been stolen.
