Chapter 33: The Desireless Prince vs. the Scheming Concubine in the Buddhist Temple 9
"Emperor? Emperor!"
Pei Jinye came back to his senses and heard his mother's gradually rising voice. He put down his chopsticks and replied calmly,
"Mother, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? I'm going to ask you what's wrong? Why are you so absent-minded during dinner today?"
The emperor couldn't help but have some gossip. His son was usually humble and polite, but he knew that he was a man with a heart as black as black, and his temperament was even colder. He never took things to heart easily.
"My dear mother, I am fine. I just haven't figured out some things yet. It's nothing serious."
Hearing this, the emperor lost interest and turned his attention back to the meal. He knew that he would definitely not tell it.
Pei Jinye was a little speechless when he saw that the two had almost finished eating, so he spoke.
"Father, I went to Guanchan Temple to meditate the other day and met a woman who is dignified and quiet. I want to take her into the East Palace as a concubine."
"Ahem~" The queen patted the emperor on the back and handed him the water from the maid.
"Why are you so anxious? I'm not going to marry you a concubine, huh? What are you talking about, my prince? What do you want to marry?"
Pei Jinye took a deep breath. Although he thought that his words would surprise the two of them, he did not expect such a big reaction.
"Mother, I want to take a concubine."
The queen pushed the coughing emperor away.
"Whose? Qingqing from the Prime Minister's family? Wanwan from the General's Mansion? Hurry up and tell me!"
Pei Jinye rubbed his brows.
"Mother, no, she is the concubine's daughter of the Shangshu Bai family."
After the words fell, the queen turned the question around in her mind for a few times, but she couldn't think of who it was. It was all because Meng Jiao had always been a dull and timid person, and she really didn't leave any impression on others.
The emperor finally calmed down and spoke.
"A concubine's daughter? How can a concubine's daughter be taken as a concubine? If you like her, just give her a good concubine and take her back."
Pei Jinye frowned. Although he knew that this was a test from the emperor, he did not hide his thoughts.
"I am pleased with your son. Please give your order, Father."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and rolled his eyes. After all, this was the first time Pei Jinye asked him for permission because of a woman. However, the woman's status was indeed lower. After thinking about it, he spoke.
"Then I'll make her a Liang Di. You can give her a title yourself. I promise you that if she can give birth to a prince for you, I will immediately make her a concubine. Is that okay?"
Pei Jinye knew very well that the emperor was crazy about having a grandson, so he was hinting wildly when he found a condition that he could negotiate with him.
Never mind, his backyard is just for decoration anyway, he will protect her.
"My son, I obey your orders."
In the courtyard of Bai Mansion, Bai Menglian, who had dined with Du Yu, returned to the mansion. With an unpleasant look on her face, she went straight to Meng Jiao's Chao Shi Yuan.
Early in the morning, she received a letter from the Duke's Mansion. She happily opened it and saw that it was indeed Du Yu who invited her to dinner. The letter clearly stated that she should also bring Bai Mengjiao.
Thinking of Meng Jiao's beautiful little face, she gritted her teeth and pretended not to see it. She dressed herself up angrily and went out.
During the meal, she kept hinting to Du Yu about his previous promise to marry her, but Du Yu lost interest when he saw Bai Mengjiao didn't accept the invitation.
After eating a few bites of food, he sent her back.
This successfully broke Bai Menglian's defense, and she came towards Chao Shiyuan with a large group of servants and maids.
At the same time, after Pei Jinye received the report from the secret guard, he entered the Bai Mansion with his trusted nanny and two maids. With him came the eunuch sent by the emperor to announce the decree.
Bai Zhanxiong didn't expect Pei Jinye to actually come to Bai's house to see Bai Mengjiao. Thinking of the unpleasantness with Mengjiao yesterday, he could only smile and try to cover up the matter.
Unexpectedly, before the eunuch sent by the emperor to announce the decree opened his mouth, Pei Jinye heard the secret guard report that Meng Jiao was being bullied again. He glared at Bai Zhanxiong fiercely and strode towards Meng Jiao's Chaoshiyuan.
The eunuch who announced the imperial edict saw a group of people following the Crown Prince away, so he simply took the box of the imperial edict and trotted after them with a group of eunuchs.
Going to the courtyard, Bai Menglian ordered the maid to kick open the wooden door of the courtyard. The door was half-old and half-new, and it was kicked so hard that it was directly broken.
Meng Jiao learned everything from the system and continued to embroider a purse for Pei Jinye calmly. Although she had the memories of her original body, she still pierced her fingers with small holes several times.
The moment the wooden door fell, Meng Jiao, who had expected it, still pretended to be shocked. The embroidery needle directly pierced her delicate fingertips, leaving an obvious bloody hole.
Meng Jiao endured the pain and cursed in her heart, "Chu, Bai Chulian, the game between us has officially begun."
He spoke with a fearful expression, without any of the arrogance he had when he went home to argue with Bai's father yesterday.
"You, what are you doing here? Why are you tearing down the door of my courtyard?"
Bai Menglian arrogantly stepped on the wooden door and walked into the courtyard. She thought that Bai Mengjiao had become submissive again today because she didn't get the good treatment from her father yesterday.
Seeing the dilapidated courtyard, she curled up her lips into a sneer.
"Oh, sister, why is there no one taking care of this little courtyard? Look at these broken bricks and tiles. If you don't know, you would think this is the courtyard where the servants of the Shangshu Mansion live."
Meng Jiao thought to herself, damn it, it’s all you and your mother’s fault!
But before Bai Menglian approached, he hurriedly blocked the purse on the table.
Bai Menglian narrowed her eyes, waved her hand and asked the maid to pull Mengjiao away.
"You two, come and pull her away. I want to see what she can do to stop me!"
The two fat women, who looked like they were doing rough labor, grabbed Meng Jiao's arms and dragged her away easily. As Meng Jiao struggled, her wrists were red and swollen from being grabbed by the two women.
"Let me go, let me go, how dare you? I'm going to tell Father."
Ruozhu ran over to protect Mengjiao, but she was just a teenage girl, so Bai Menglian had someone gag her and drag her aside, unable to break free.
Bai Menglian picked up the thing on the table with disdain and found that it was actually a purse. Mengjiao had sealed the lining with Pei Jinye's name inside.
So she mistakenly thought that this was sewn for Du Yu, hoping that Du Yu would change his mind and marry her back to the Prince's Mansion. Bai Menglian, who was already very angry because of Du Yu, looked even more ferocious after seeing this purse.
"Well, you, Bai Mengjiao, as a woman in the inner house, actually embroidered purses for men in private. You want to have a private relationship with him, right?
I will tell my mother in a moment, I think you are crazy about men, I will let my mother find you a dog man to stop your restless energy! "
Pei Jinye walked hurriedly, without waiting for Bai Zhanxiong to lead the way, and went straight to Meng Jiao's Chaoshiyuan.
Before I even reached the yard, I heard a commotion inside, accompanied by a woman's shrill voice. As I got closer, the content of what she said made everyone present look cold.
Pei Jinye took a few steps closer and saw the little girl being held by someone. The wound on her forehead was still clearly visible, and she was still screaming in pain from time to time because of her struggle.
Seeing this, Pei Jinye's eyes turned cold and his voice was sharp.
"presumptuous!"
