My beloved wife is reborn, let's get divorced, Mr. Prime Minister
Chapter 29: Reputation is damaged!
As soon as Queen Zheng came in, everyone greeted her and bowed.
Empress Zheng wore a dark red floor-length dress embroidered with a lifelike phoenix with wings spread, her hair was tied into a five-phoenix bun, and her temples were slanted with phoenix-shaped gold hairpins with kingfisher feather tassels and emerald green studs, which made her look even more dignified, noble, graceful, and yet awe-inspiring.
The palace maid helped Queen Zheng to sit on the throne in the middle of the flower hall. Queen Zheng looked around and her eyes fell on Song Qingcheng. She paused for a moment, revealing a hint of surprise before looking away again.
"No need to be polite! Please take a seat!"
Queen Zheng said.
Everyone then stood up and sat on the seats on both sides of the flower hall. Most of those who came today were unmarried women among the officials and nobles in the capital. In fact, there were very few who were already married like Song Qingcheng.
"There's no need to be restrained. The flowers in the palace are in full bloom. I'm sure you girls will like them. Go and enjoy them yourselves."
Queen Zheng's intention was just to select a princess and concubines for the prince. If everyone just sat there, it would be hard to tell what kind of person they were. As soon as Queen Zheng finished speaking, the women began to sing, "Thank you, Queen."
Having said that, the girls did not dare to be too casual, and only admired the Imperial Garden from a distance, being very cautious, fearing that something might go wrong.
Zheng Biyun was much more relaxed than the others. She sat intimately beside Queen Zheng and chatted about family matters, showing her difference from other noble ladies in the capital. She was in a unique position.
Song Qingcheng sat on a brocade stool on the outside of the flower hall. The view here was broad and the high eaves provided shade, making it an excellent place to enjoy the flowers. The imperial garden was full of flowers, which made people feel good. After paying her respects to Queen Zheng, Pei Huairu left her seat and went somewhere. She thought she went to the garden with the other girls. Song Qingcheng did not think much about it.
She was lost in thought as she stared at the flowers and plants in the garden. In the distance, she heard the gentle voice of Queen Zheng from the main seat. "Are there any flowers in this imperial garden that Madam Pei likes?"
The queen asked, but Song Qingcheng seemed not to hear it.
Afterwards, the eunuch beside the queen called Song Qingcheng several times in a row, but Song Qingcheng did not turn back at all.
This makes people wonder whether Song Qingcheng no longer takes the current queen seriously.
At this time, Queen Zheng's face was already filled with displeasure.
At first, Song Qingcheng didn't realize that it was her who was being called. The main reason was that few people called her that. In her previous life, she was just called Song by others.
The eunuch who served beside Queen Zheng had a duck-like voice and an impatient tone in his voice. "Madam Pei, the Queen is asking you a question?"
The Queen was talking, and she was stunned for a moment, which made her seem like she didn't know the rules. She was misbehaving in front of the palace and was very disrespectful to the Queen.
Zheng Biyun smiled and said, "Lord Pei is an important official in the court. Eunuch Wang, please don't scare the lady. If you scare her, Lord Pei will come after you, Eunuch!"
Although Zheng Biyun appeared to be reprimanding the eunuch Wang, the eunuch was a man close to the Queen. One should look at the owner before beating a dog, not to mention that the eunuch was a close confidant of the Queen. How could he settle accounts at will? Wasn't she implying that Pei Huaizhi was arrogant and powerful? This was to create hatred for Pei Huaizhi, and also implying that she was relying on her husband's favor in the previous dynasty to dare to look down on even the Queen in the harem.
Song Qingcheng was shocked by what she said. Pei Huaizhi was going to Jiangnan to take up his post as he was implementing new policies. It would be better if he was not criticized for her affairs.
In fact, Song Qingcheng's father was a great general who held military power and had unbridled power. However, Song Qingcheng knew the fate of the general's mansion in her previous life, which made her realize the coldness and ruthlessness of imperial power. When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. People in the world are nothing but grass in front of these nobles. She had to be cautious and careful.
"Aunt Zheng is joking. I am loyal to my master. If my husband knew that I was disrespectful in front of the queen, he would definitely reprimand and punish me severely when he returns."
Song Qingcheng looked extremely distressed, her soft and timid voice trembled a little, and her pretty face seemed to be terrified as if she had thought of something terrible. Anyone who saw her would believe that what Song Qingcheng said was true.
"It's just that just now I saw that the crabapple flowers in the Queen's imperial garden were blooming exceptionally gorgeously, even more brilliantly than the crabapple flowers elsewhere. I have never seen such a sight before, and I was inadvertently mesmerized by them. I beg the Queen to forgive me."
Do the whole show!
Song Qingcheng was about to cry, looking extremely pitiful.
——Do you think what Mrs. Pei said is true or false? Is Lord Pei so scary?
——Mrs. Pei is as delicate and lovely as the flowers in the imperial garden, how could Lord Pei be willing to let her go?
——He won’t hit anyone, right? Yes, yes, Lord Pei definitely doesn’t like women. If it weren’t for His Majesty’s permission for the marriage, they might not have gotten married.
——Who knows? It doesn't look fake. I heard from my father that although Lord Pei looks gentle and elegant, he acts in a swift and decisive manner. He is even more distant and cold in private. He is definitely not a person who knows how to feel warm or cold. It would be very scary to think of him as a husband.
Nan Shengsheng frowned and said, "Let's not talk nonsense."
Although the girls lowered their voices deliberately, they still reached Song Qingcheng's ears. She thought in her heart, "I'm sorry Pei Huaizhi, she couldn't think of any other excuses, so she could only make the best of it."
The Queen Mother naturally heard what was said. At this point, it seemed like she was deliberately making things difficult. Biyu was right about one thing. Pei Huaizhi was indeed His Majesty's confidant now, and she had to win him over. Whether the Crown Prince could sit firmly on the throne might depend on this favorite of His Majesty.
Thinking of this, there is no reason to blame Song Qingcheng. On the contrary, I should comfort her and remember her kindness.
"It's okay. If Madam Pei likes this crabapple, you can pick a few branches and take them back with you when you leave the palace."
"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your reward!"
Zheng Biyu didn't expect that she would be fooled by Song Qingcheng like this. In her opinion, Song Qingcheng must be pretending, and there was an inexplicable hatred in her eyes.
She admired Pei Huaizhi. Others didn't know that this was her deepest secret. Even her parents at home didn't know what she was thinking. She had admired him since she was very young. Although they were destined not to be together because she was the candidate for the Crown Princess chosen by her aunt, she was still very jealous when she saw Pei Huaizhi marrying Song Qingcheng. What she couldn't get, no one else could get.
And the fat, greasy, and useless Crown Prince Wei Chan is a brainless fool who is not in her eyes at all. Only the most talented and best man in Wei can be a match for her, and that man is Pei Huaizhi.
Besides, this Crown Prince Wei Shao is not his aunt’s biological son at all, and his future is still uncertain, but she did not dare to resist.
So he became more and more jealous of Song Qingcheng!
Why is it her!
Why can Song Qingcheng easily get what she can't get!
She was so jealous that she was going crazy and wished she could destroy Song Qingcheng's peerless beauty.
She would not allow it! She must become the queen. When she becomes the master of Kunning Palace, as long as she can control that idiot Wei Chan and have supreme power, she can get rid of Song Qingcheng and recruit Pei Huaizhi as her subordinate.
Song Qingcheng lowered his head slightly and naturally did not notice Zheng Biyu's strange look.
