Chapter 109: Jealous to the point of fainting
Yan Xiwei didn't just blush, she was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die. The gazes of everyone on her made her wish she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and hide herself.
Today's embarrassment and shame were almost beyond her endurance.
Even when she was a concubine, she had never been humiliated like this.
Yan Xiwei's body was shaky and tears were pouring out like a broken dam, "My son and I deserve to die..."
"You really deserve to die. You actually dared to play tricks in front of me. If I hadn't been considering the Grand Princess today, I... forget it. You should go back and reflect on your mistakes.
You must kneel in your own yard for two hours every day, not a moment less. In addition, you must copy the female precepts a hundred times every day. You are on your own.
If you still refuse to repent, I will punish you severely..."
Although the emperor seemed to have given her a light punishment, his words were merciless enough.
"Yes, thank you for your grace, father..." Yan Xiwei trembled in her shoulders and choked with sobs as she thanked him.
Hatred surged in her heart. She would take revenge for all the humiliation she suffered today one day. Just wait!
Yan Qingning watched Yan Xiwei get up and leave. She narrowed her eyes. Is this the end? Yan Xiwei was dreaming, "Your Majesty..."
"Hmm, I almost forgot," the Emperor of Chu spoke first, "Yan Qingning has made great contributions in saving Princess Jia today. She will be promoted to the position of concubine of King Qing, and will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and two jade ruyis..."
Yan Qingning froze, eyes wide open, staring at Emperor Chu in disbelief, "Your Majesty, I..."
"That's enough. No need to thank me. This is what you deserve." The Emperor of Chu waved his hand disapprovingly. "You can leave as well..."
Yan Qingning shook her head, "Not the Emperor..."
"Congratulations, Concubine Ning." The Queen couldn't help laughing and said, "Seeing that you are so happy that you can't speak, I will also add icing on the cake. Later, I will send my thoughts to Prince Qing's Palace along with the imperial edict.
Today, I am indeed grateful to Concubine Ning, but I don’t know when you learned the acupuncture technique. This is a good thing, you hid it very well..."
Yan Qingning could see that the emperor and the empress were singing the same tune, and it was obvious that the matter between her and Yan Xiwei was over.
She knew very well that the emperor was taking the Grand Princess into consideration, so he decided to give Yan Xiwei a break.
Yan Qingning smiled bitterly in her heart. Power is indeed a good thing. It completely depends on the will of the superior.
Although she looked down upon and did not care about the position of concubine, she would not go against the one thousand taels of silver and other rewards, so she still made a note of Lu Ying and others in her heart.
However, Yan Xiwei could not accept the reality that Yan Qingning was promoted to concubine.
Listening to the empress dowager's pleasant voice and the emperor's words that were clearly trying to comfort Yan Qingning, they all seemed to have turned into swords that would torture her to death. Yan Xiwei only felt that all the voices were getting farther and farther away from her...
She fell to the ground with a thud and Yan Xiwei fainted.
The Chu Emperor seemed to be very disgusted and waved his hand and said, "Send her back to the palace!"
No one reacted.
Yan Qingning could tell that Yan Xiwei was not pretending to faint, but had really fainted.
She snorted in her heart, maybe he fainted from jealousy?
At this time, the Emperor of Chu also waved to Chu Beiqing: "There is nothing for you to do now, you can go back to the palace first..."
But Chu Beiqing did not move. His bony hands rested on his knees, and his dark eyes stared at Emperor Chu who had his back to him.
The eldest princess' heart was about to calm down when her heart suddenly became tense. She was worried that Chu Beiqing would object.
She was even more worried that Chu Beiqing would take the opportunity to divorce Yan Xiwei.
Then it's not just Yan Xiwei who is embarrassed.
As a result, she also lost all her face.
Regardless of whether she, the Grand Princess, likes Yan Xiwei or not, she is still her granddaughter.
Because the matter of his daughter He'an and Hun Yao's legitimate and illegitimate daughters caused a sensation in the capital, he had become a laughing stock in the capital.
If Yan Xiwei was divorced again, then her Grand Princess Mansion would surely become a laughing stock in the world.
Chen Dajian, who was standing by, received the Queen Mother's signal and immediately walked to Chu Beiqing with a smile on his face, "Your Highness Prince Qing, I will escort you and Concubine Ning out..."
Chu Beiqing finally withdrew his gaze, bowed to the Queen Mother's predecessor, and turned his wheelchair.
Not only did the Queen Mother breathe a sigh of relief, but even the tense body of the Emperor of Chu relaxed.
……
As soon as Yan Qingning pushed Chu Beiqing out, King Jin solemnly clasped his hands towards Chu Beiqing and said, "Today, it is all thanks to Sixth Brother's wife."
Princess Jin also bowed to Yan Qingning with gratitude, "Qingning, from now on, you are my sister. If anyone dares to say anything bad about you again, it will be the same as saying something about me. If I hear it, I will tear their mouth to pieces."
The Princess of Jin is plump and looks like someone who is not easy to mess with. She is also known to be a powerful person.
Especially Lu Ying and the other girls standing aside bit their lips after hearing what Princess Jin said, but this time no one dared to jump out and say another word.
As far as I can remember, there has never been any conflict between Princess Jin and the original owner. For me now, one more friend means one more way forward.
She walked out from behind Chu Beiqing and returned the greeting, "That's great, Qingning will have a sister from now on."
Princess Jin smiled and said, "That's right, I like Qing Ning's straightforward personality the most."
Then, Princess Jin seemed to remember something.
"Jiaer, Jiaer?"
Princess Jin called her daughter's name twice, but she didn't respond. She turned her head curiously and saw that her daughter was looking straight at Chu Beiqing.
Princess Jin found it a little funny and asked, "Why are you looking at your Sixth Uncle like that?"
Then he teased, "Girl, even though your Sixth Uncle is a famous handsome man in Chujing, he doesn't look at you like this. Be careful not to make your Sixth Uncle shy."
Chu Beiqing did not respond to Princess Jin's words, but his eyes softened a little.
"Mother..." Chu Jia stretched out her voice coquettishly, grabbing her mother's sleeve and shaking it unwillingly.
Princess Jin lowered her eyes and looked at her daughter lovingly, "Okay, I won't say any more."
She had been married to the Prince of Jin for several years and they only had this one daughter. Unfortunately, her daughter had always been very weak, so the Prince doted on her even more and almost always complied with her requests.
Today, they were really frightened.
So her gratitude to Yan Qingning came from the bottom of her heart. If anything happened to her daughter, she would really not be able to survive.
"Mother..." Chu Jia called out to her mother and went to look at Yan Qingning as a hint.
Princess Jin understood and said, "Aning, I don't know what's wrong with this girl. She has been begging me for a long time, saying that she likes you, the Sixth Emperor's Aunt. I tell you, if she really comes to find you in the future, Aning, you just have to be perfunctory with her..."
How could Yan Qingning agree with what Princess Jin said?
He raised his hand and touched the top of Princess Jia's head, smiling and saying, "Jia'er is so cute, I like her very much too."
Then he looked at Jiaer and said, "Qingwang Mansion welcomes Jiaer at any time. Jiaer can go and play anytime..."
Jiaer was immediately delighted, "That's great..."
While they were talking, Chen Dajian called the Duan Wang family and the Jin Wang family into the hall at the same time.
Yan Qingning saw it all. Some curiosity needs to be hidden in one's heart. Although she really wanted to know the inside story here, she couldn't show it.
