The king was wrong

The days after that were very peaceful, Qi Yaoqing strictly followed Wei Yanxi's words, and stayed in the small courtyard, with only Menghan and Mengqi to accompany him, reading books, writing, and self-cultivation every day. .

After that day, there was no movement in the main courtyard. Wei Yanxi never came again, but after all, she didn't make things as big as the angry words she said that day.

On the other hand, Zhu Yaozi sent someone to deliver a letter within a few days after returning. This time, he sent it in through the main entrance openly, without even sealing the envelope. It was clear that he was provoking Wei Yanxi: You can read it if you want. , I didn't even seal it, just waiting for you to open it.

The letter was sent by a young man in the main courtyard, and that person didn't say anything, only that the prince sent him to send it after he knew that the first assistant had written a letter to the princess. As for whether the prince read it or not, he kept silent, Qi Yao looked at the envelope and couldn't see why, so he didn't pay much attention.

The letter didn't say anything specific, it was just that Zhu Yaozi said that he was doing well, and told Qi Yaoqing not to worry about it, and also told him to take care of his health.There are only a few paragraphs in the whole article, with a businesslike tone, even if Wei Yanxi really reads it, it's no big deal.

But as the saying goes, people don't look for trouble, trouble comes for itself.No, Qi Yaoqing hadn't been quiet for a few days, and the news of the concubine's loss of power spread in the palace.

According to Meng Han, it was because someone happened to see the prince leaving the concubine's courtyard angrily that day, and with the help of someone with good intentions, the rumor of the concubine's loss of power quickly spread like wildfire, arousing suspicion from many parties.

Some said that the princess was rude and offended the prince face to face, causing the prince to feel dissatisfied; some said that the princess was ambiguous with the servants in the courtyard, and happened to be bumped into by the prince; even more said that the princess had a private relationship with the thief, Those who intend to murder the prince.

In short, there are different opinions and different versions. The key is that each version can also derive a story with ups and downs.

But no matter how many versions of the story there are, the conclusion is always the same—now everyone in the palace knows that their princess is completely rejected by the prince!Some people even let out rumors that the concubine made a big mistake just after getting married, and I'm afraid it won't be long before the prince's divorce papers will come down.

Fortunately, Qi Yaoqing never cared about these things, he still went his own way, acting like a normal person all day long, doing whatever he should.

But just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that others don't care either. He doesn't care about the position of princess, but he can't keep people who care about her.As soon as they heard that the princess lost power, some people immediately felt that the opportunity had come, and within two days they began to move around, as if once Qi Yaoqing was dismissed, the position of princess would fall to them.

No, a few days later, Qi Yaoqing, who was still under confinement, welcomed two unexpected guests.

"Hehe, in a few days I will pay my respects to the concubine. I feel that it is inappropriate, so I forced Sister Ranyue to come to the door today. The concubine won't be disgusted, right?"

As soon as she entered the door, Linglong came up to greet her with a smile, stood two feet away from Qi Yaoqing, and bowed gracefully.

Today, she is slightly thin, smiling like a flower, and her slanted almond eyes are full of kindness, and she just rightly shows her respect for the princess and her uneasiness after not coming to pay her respects for a few days. She looks like a concubine who keeps her own life.

"I've been under confinement for the past few days. If you really come, I don't know what to do. But the visitor is a guest, so you two should sit down first."

Qi Yaoqing didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so he told her straightforwardly that he was being grounded, so as to save her from gossiping about him.

Who knows that this Linglong still has a curious mind, knowing that Qi Yaoqing's grounding is not enough, she must know the specific reason before she is willing to give up.

"Oh? The concubine is really grounded? Why is this so good?"

Qi Yaoqing glanced at her calmly, and when he heard the servants report that Linglong and Wu Ranyue were visiting, he guessed their purpose.Now that Wu Ranyue has been here for a long time, she just followed Linglong in a regular manner, and did not move other than to salute herself according to the law. On the other hand, although Linglong looked respectful on the surface, she said nothing She was testing, thinking that what happened today was indeed her idea.

Qi Yaoqing sighed secretly in his heart, and really didn't want to get entangled with her, so he said vaguely: "My lord has his own reasons for doing things, but I have made mistakes in my words and deeds. I just accept teaching with an open mind, and don't worry about it."

What he said was clearly drawing a line with Linglong, telling her: What did I do wrong, and what punishment I get is a matter between me and the prince, you don't have to interfere.

When Qi Yaoqing came back with such a cold tone, even though she was born in a brothel, Linglong, who was always calm, couldn't help but change her face.

She had heard a lot of gossip in the courtyard these days, but she had no way of knowing the whole story.In addition, Wei Yanxi went to Xue Hanxue's courtyard for a few days. Xue Hanxue was already superior to her in terms of position, and now he is treated so favorably by the prince. Gao, he couldn't see anyone except the prince.

Today, she wanted to come to Qi Yaoqing to ask about the general situation, and she had a bottom line in her heart, and if there were any major changes in the mansion in the future, she could be prepared in advance.But looking at Qi Yaoqing's lukewarm look, it's obvious that he didn't intend to tell the truth to himself.

Linglong bit her red lips angrily, then wouldn't her trip be in vain!If it reaches Xue Hanxue's ears, she can't tell how many bitter words are waiting for her.

In fact, Linglong is not afraid of Xue Hanxue in her bones. She is a delicate young lady in the Shangshu Mansion.

But... But no matter how strong I am, I can't help the prince to spoil her!Originally there was a concubine standing in front of him, even though he was an unfavorable man, but no matter how he came from the mansion of the Duke of Sheng, there was a queen sister on his head, and he was bestowed the title of Concubine Yong by the emperor. Can't be shaken easily.

But now even the princess has lost her power. I am afraid that in Xue Hanxue's eyes, she is already the new queen-to-be.

A trace of fierceness flashed across Linglong's eyes, her jade hands were hidden in her sleeves, and Danko on her nails were deeply embedded in her palms, but she didn't seem to notice it.

No matter what, I can't let Xue Hanxue step on her head so smoothly. If she really becomes a princess, her life in this palace will be so sad in the future!

Although Qi Yaoqing is losing power now, the thin camel is bigger than the horse, and because of his status, the prince will be more or less restrained and jealous no matter how angry he is.As long as Qi Yaoqing and Xue Hanxue can be successfully picked to compete with each other...

Linglong's eyes narrowed, and a sneer slipped from the corner of her mouth. No matter who wins or loses, it will be a lose-lose situation, so she, a fisherman, can naturally reap the benefits.

With a calculation in her heart, the smile on Linglong's face did not decrease but deepened, and the eyes she looked at Qi Yaoqing became more sincere.

"It's just the princess, I know that you have always been quiet and far-sighted, and you don't have the same insight as us women in the deep house. But today I dare to say that you have lived in the deep house for a long time, and you always don't go around the front yard. Inappropriate."

"Oh, what's the reason?" Qi Yaoqing raised his eyebrows, and looked at Linglong with darker eyes.

Seeing that Qi Yaoqing seemed to be moved by what she said, Linglong immediately frowned deeply, showing a worried look and continued: "Princess, you are a man, and you have always been a good-spoken person. The matter in the front yard... oh..."

She rolled her eyes, sighed, and didn't say anything clearly.

I thought that Qi Yaoqing should understand what she wanted to express at this point, but after waiting for a long time, Qi Yaoqing asked with a puzzled face: "Well, what's wrong with the front yard? But what's wrong with the prince?"

Linglong is angry, although this princess is a man, she has always been known for her talents, why is she as clueless as a piece of wood in matters of the inner house!

It's a pity that no matter how dissatisfied she is, she can't help it. After all, Linglong knows very well that the only person who can hold down Xue Hanxue is sitting in front of her.Wu Ranyue has always been a silent and unreasonable person, so she can't be expected.If she can't arouse Qi Yaoqing's anger today, then she will have to fight alone in the future.

She doesn't think she has the ability to fight against Xue Hanxue alone.

"Oh, princess, poor concubine is really not a gossip, it's just...but during your absence, the front yard is really a villain's success! Don't say anything if the prince is so confused, even the princess You don't take it seriously, relying on the prince's favor and not coming every day to greet you as usual, she even spread rumors about the princess, saying that the princess is now grounded because of seven crimes of misbehavior. Disgusting, I'm afraid it will soon be..."

"What do you want?"

"I'm going to...be divorced!"

Gritting her teeth, Linglong made up her mind, and she simply spoke up.Now Xue Hanxue is getting more and more arrogant, and she is oppressing her so much that it is unspeakable that she can pick the two tigers to fight each other today. If they can't pick, it would be good to let Qi Yaoqing feel a thorn in his heart.

It is said that men value talent and reputation the most. Qi Yaoqing was given a marriage to marry into Prince Yong's Mansion. No matter how good his talent is, it doesn't count. He only hopes that he can still take into account his dignity as a princess, so he hates Xue Hanxue.

"Is it Madam Xue?"

"Exactly."

"I see."

Qi Yaoqing nodded, with a calm expression on his face, but a sneer in his heart.Could it be that they really thought they were men and ignored and ignored the backyard affairs?

These days, which part of the rumors in the backyard has Qi Yaoqing not heard?It's just because I feel that there is no need to fight, so I keep silent.

He is a man, and he has long planned not to be a princess. Since he will be divorced sooner or later, it doesn't matter what they say now, whether it sounds good or bad.

It's just what does it mean that this woman came here today? Do you want to go to Xue Hanxue to settle accounts with Xue Hanxue because of a moment of anger?She really has a good plan.

Qi Yaoqing couldn't help sighing, he always thought that this woman was smart, but he didn't expect that after a closer look today, she was also impatient.
