Chapter 307
“It’s all because of you!”
Changning rushed towards Yingluo and wrestled with her as she shouted hysterically, “You’ve caused me harm!”
Yes, it’s all because of Yingluo.
If it wasn’t for Yingluo’s instigation, how could she have gotten into trouble with Qin Jiu, and could she have offended the empress!
She made a mistake on her first step, so her next step was also a mistake and the outcome end up like this today!
Changning vented all her resentment on Yingluo as she grabbed and bit her.
“Princess!”
“Her Royal Highness Third Princess!”
Tai Qin Wang Fei’s maidservants as well as the maidservants brought by Meiren Xu were in a mess as they tried to separate them.
The servants in Fengluan Palace who escorted Meiren Xu out as well as other servants who were working either, continued their work or watch while others move some valuable vases far away to avoid the scramble.
There was a commotion in the main hall so naturally, this noise reached the east side of the hall where the empress was, a palace maid immediately went to report the incident to Empress Wei.
Empress Wei looked calm as she slowly removed the floating stem on the tea with the tea lid, and said with half a smile, “Let them be.”
“They have a lifetime to fight later!” Empress Wei hooked her lips meaningfully.
Qin Jiu nodded approvingly, thinking that Changning and Yingluo’s brains weren’t probably very good, or that their brain lacked supplements and needs repair. It was obviously clear that no one needs to get married but, in the end, they have to make a fuss, who could they blame?
Empress Wei put down the teacup and turned to look at Qin Jiu, “What did we just talk about?”
Qin Jiu woke up from her thoughts and in high spirits picked up the book as she continued to chat with Empress Wei, “Aunt, I think this book plot should be changed into the heroine suing her husband and son, how can she indulge her unfilial son?”
“And here….”
Qin Jiu turned two more pages, pointing to another plot with excitement.
One of the two was happily talking while the other one was happily listening and before they knew it the hall outside fell into silence once again, and when You Bai came in, she said. “Your Majesty, the empress, Tai Qin Wang Fei request for an audience.”
“Finished fighting?” Empress Wei asked casually.
“It’s over.” You Bai said with a suppressed smile, “The third princess scratched Princess Yingluo’s face. Princess Yingluo kicked the third princess a few times causing the third princess to roll on the ground and cried out in pain.” The third princess pretended to be sick and always has tricks behind her sleeves, these people have long been used to it.
“The maidservant asked someone for the imperial physician and sent away the third princess and Meiren Xu.”
Empress Wei said casually, “Tell Tai Qin Wang Fei that this empress will not see her, and instead ask her daughter, Yingluo what she did. Don’t let them bother Empress dowager either.”
You Bai accepted the order before retreating back.
The two, aunt and niece, talk once again about the book for a while. Empress Wei said in a good mood, “This empress will ask Zhong Gusi to change the plot of the story and then arrange it into a play.”
Qin Jiu’s eyes lit up and got excited, clapping her hands, she said. “Good, that’s good.”
Empress Wei looked at Qin Jiu with a smile on her face and was about to order someone to go to the Library Division when a young maidservant in green hurriedly came in and out of breath said, “Empress, it’s not good, the emperor just fainted!”
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold and the air condensed.
Empress Wei’s face visibly turned pale as she stood up and said, “Take this empress to see the emperor quickly!”
The young maidservant in green hurriedly responded, and walked ahead to lead the way for Empress Wei, and the maidservants including You Bai also hurriedly followed while Qin Jiu was left alone.
Qin Jiu stayed where she was and did not follow. She knew there was nothing she could do to help so she didn’t follow Empress Wei and caused inconvenience instead.
The rest of the servants in Fengluan Palace had a heavy expressions on their faces, and the whole palace seems to be shrouded in a layer of gloomy clouds.
Empress Wei did not return to Fengluan Palace all night.
Although Qin Jiu was now staying in the palace she couldn’t just inquire about the emperor’s affairs and that night she didn’t sleep well. The next morning, she was woken up by a rustling sound outside, so she simply got up early.
After getting up, she learned from a maidservant that the empress’s puppy named Shuangyu, had gone somewhere.
So, Qin Jiu also helped them find the little puppy from Fengluan Palace all the way to the imperial garden.
“Shuangyu, Shuangyu…”
A rustling sound could be heard in the hydrangea bushes in front of her when suddenly a white jade-like dumpling ran out of the bushes, its butt facing her and it started running forward.
“Shuangyu!”
Qin Jiu went around the flower bed and chased after the puppy, and two feet away the chubby body was bouncing up and down, looking extremely agile.
Slightly bending, Qin Jiu wanted to grab the puppy when she saw a slender hand from the side grabbing the puppy’s neck and lifting it up.
The white chubby puppy whose neck was held struggled with his short and fat limbs midair as it “whimpers” and his watery eyes seemed to be covered with a thin mist looking pitiful.
However, the owner of the right hand was as stable as Mount Tai, and the hand holding its chubby neck didn’t even flinch.
The corner of Qin Jiu’s lips curled up as her gaze fell on slender knuckles.
She straightened up as she slowly moved her gaze from the hand and met a pair of warm eyes, smiling she said sweetly, “Big Brother.”
