Chapter 588 Kneeling with the jury is not for everyone
After the Empress Mother and her son had discussed the matter, she brought the freshened Liu Lanxin over to the Emperor’s Royal Study.
On the other side, He Guifei also hurried over with her people, the news that her own cat had actually been literally dropped dead by Pei Yuanjun came over, and He Guifei could hardly believe it.
Although he had known that Pei Yuanjun didn’t like his cat, and whenever he saw it, he always had it thrown out, but it wasn’t this straightforward to drop it to death.
Everyone in the palace knows that she likes this cat, this cat is equivalent to is her face, even if she is not willing to confront Pei Yuanjun at this time, but she had to make such a trip to tell the emperor.
If she doesn’t complain to the Emperor at such a time, anyone inside the palace will dare to step on her face in the future.
The two parties coincidentally actually met at the intersection in front of the Emperor’s Royal Study.
“Greetings to Empress Dowager.” Noble Concubine He stopped her steps and gave the Empress Dowager a superficial and thorough salute.
“Where is Noble Consort He going?” Empress Dowager stopped her steps, her head slightly raised, she grew shorter than Noble Consort He, which made her look more imposing.
“Going to see the Emperor, where is the Empress?” Noble Consort He smiled gently.
“This palace has something to see the emperor.” Empress Mother coldly said, a trace of loathing flashed in her eyes, the thing she hated most in this palace was He Guifei, this daughter was obviously a large number of years old, but she still pretended to be such a delicate and weak appearance, it was really disgusting, she also did not look at her own age, but she actually learned that kind of youthfulness.
What a vixen!
The Empress Mother was dignified on the surface, but in her heart she had already cursed away.
“Then my concubine will go with the Empress Mother to see His Majesty.” Noble Concubine He looked a bit aggrieved, and her eyes were even more aggrieved when she looked at the Empress Dowager, but she made the Empress Dowager’s chest tighten as she looked at her, and she just couldn’t wait to find a reason to fiercely slap this bitch a few times before she could do so.
With a cold snort, the two parties headed for the Imperial Study Room together.
From afar, I saw a person kneeling in front of the Dan Que, a lone one, at a glance, even if he was kneeling, his figure was extremely upright.
Side corner stood a chamberlain, should be sent by the emperor, looking down seems to be punished kneeling is his general, standing timidly on the side.
“Empress Dowager, is that the Utopia County King over there?” Noble Consort He was a sharp-eyed one.
“It seems so.” The Empress nodded after tasting it.
“Why is King Utopia kneeling here? What … is going on here?” Noble Consort He was a bit flustered.
The Empress Mother gave her a deep look and said with a meaningful meaning, “I wonder what kind of person King Utopia has messed with to actually make him kneel here.”
What did you mess with? Other than dropping Noble Consort He’s cat, there really wasn’t anything else.
He Guifei’s face changed greatly, the delicate aggression on her face almost couldn’t hang on, but fortunately she also reacted quickly, immediately stabilized, her face was very unattractive as she hurriedly walked forward.
“Utmost County King, why are you kneeling here, what happened?” Arriving in front of Pei Yuanjun, Noble Consort He fixed her mind and squeezed out a soft smile on her face, asking with concern, leaving the Empress Mother behind.
The Empress Dowager was not willing to show her weakness, and walked a few steps quickly, also arriving at Pei Yuan’s side, her brows furrowed, and she asked with a solemn expression, “What crime has the Utopia County King committed?”
Liu Lanxin walked at the end, biting her lip, not knowing what to do for a moment, looking at the Crown Prince who was walking to the side, and then looking at Pei Yuanjun who was kneeling on the ground, unable to decide.
“It’s nothing major, two empresses please.” Pei Yuanjun raised his eyes carelessly, his handsome eyes gliding over the faces of the crowd, without the slightest bit of distress from being penalized for kneeling!
As if this would still be the leisurely and cozy Utopia King, it made people extremely speechless.
The Empress glanced at him and lifted her steps forward, it would be inappropriate to say anything, her face rippled, but in her heart, she felt that this was a good scenario.
It was a good thing to be able to pit this bitch He Guifei against Pei Yuanjun.
Noble Consort He hesitated for a moment, looked at the Empress who was walking forward, and finally made up her mind as well, lifting her steps and chasing after her.
As Pei Luoan walked up to Pei Yuanjun, he respectfully called out, “Uncle Wang!”
Pei Yuanjun’s gaze lifted to look at him before looking at Liu Lanxin on the side, his eyes sliding over the two people’s faces, the corner of his lips hooking slightly as he smiled as if in a daze, “The Crown Prince is polite.”
This smirk caused Liu Lanxin’s face to turn violently red, stopping in her tracks, biting the corner of her lip, and suddenly, with a short stance, she also wanted to kneel down.
“Miss Liu, this matter has something to do with Miss Liu as well, so please ask Miss Liu to speak clearly with the Emperor.” Pei Yuanjun smiled sideways and said.
The emperor also knows that this matter has something to do with himself? Liu Lanxin’s body is not short, difficult to slowly stand straight, eyes red again, “Utopia County King …”
“Alright, you two don’t waste your time here in this king’s place, there’s bound to be a summons from the emperor, let’s go!” Pei Yuanjun gazed at them and said.
Liu Lanxin’s heart suddenly jumped twice, she entered the palace for many days, or for the first time to see the emperor, did not dare to delay a little more, for fear of giving the emperor a bad impression.
The original idea that came out of nowhere immediately dissipated, she hadn’t even seen the face of the Emperor, kneeling here with the Utopia County King might not only not make the Emperor feel good about himself, but would also feel that he didn’t know how to appreciate himself.
Biting her lip, she followed Pei Luoan towards the front of the imperial study.
They just left, behind them came a few more people, the first one was Qu Mo Ying, she would wake up, was guided over by the guards, only to come over to see Pei Yuanjun kneeling at the bottom of the steps in front of the imperial study, could not help but froze for a moment, her willow eyebrows slightly frowned.
Footsteps quickened as he came closer.
Hearing the voice, Pei Yuanjun raised his head, saw that it was Qu Mo Ying, and reached out to beckon her.
Qu Mo Ying approached and lowered his head, thinking that Pei Yuanjun had something important to say to himself.
His hand was pulled heavily and his body fell forward, almost uncontrollably falling in front of Pei Yuanjun, falling shoulder to shoulder with him.
“Your Majesty!” Qu Mo Ying was startled.
“Accompany this king to kneel here.” Pei Yuanjun took her hand and pulled her toward his side again, kneeling side by side.
“Your Highness?” Qu Mo Ying didn’t understand for a moment, her watery eyes under the veil of her eyes widened in shock.
“Kneel first, this king was punished for you.” Pei Yuanjun said in an unimpressed manner, his gaze gazing at her, penetrating a few moments of remoteness and idleness.
Quite a bummer!
Is this look really like being punished and woefully kneeling under the Danque?
Qu Mo Ying didn’t understand, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, her eyes slid to the chamberlain standing to the side, her cherry lips pursed tightly, for Pei Yuanjun, she believed.
Her body moved slightly, kneeling a little more straight, and looked around again, her body intending to step back a little more, her identity destined not to kneel with Pei Yuanjun a shoulder to shoulder.
Unable to do so, Pei Yuanjun’s big hand held her hand tightly, so that she could not move and could not step back any further.
“Your Highness!” Qu Mo Ying shook his head helplessly, signaling him to let go.
Pei Yuanjun didn’t have the intention of letting go of his hand, his big hand held Qu Mo Ying’s slender little hand and asked in a serious manner, “What is it?”
Looking at the chamberlain on one side, Qu Mo Ying was too embarrassed to say it explicitly, and shook his hand again, hinting with an obvious meaning.
“Kneeling is fine, where’s the fuss.” Pei Yuanjun seemed to understand this time, but just still didn’t let go.
Seeing him act like this, Qu Mo Ying helpless, can only be quiet kneeling on one side of him, kneeling a side by side, long eyelashes hanging down, quietly looking at the corner of the ground exposed in front of the eye veil underneath, this thing is a mistake, and then someone counted in it, to now, do not know how to end.
She was not in a hurry, the presence of Pei Yuanjun on the side was too strong, even if she did not look sideways at him, she could still sense his presence …
Liu Lanxin’s face became ugly, standing under the corridor of the imperial study, her gaze almost locked onto the two people kneeling below, her face without a trace of blood.
She had wanted to kneel there just now, but it was Qu Mo Ying who ended up being pulled to her knees.
Obviously she arrived first, but why was the final result Qu Mo Ying, she had been focusing on Pei Yuanjun in the party and saw the scene where Pei Yuanjun pulled Qu Mo Ying down to her knees.
On what grounds? Why is Qu Mo Ying not her, she actually had such a meaning just now?
She could have accompanied the Utopia County King on his knees, she could have done it too, why didn’t the Utopia County King pull himself up just now? If he had pulled himself, he would have been like Qu Mo Ying!
Hands curled up under his sleeves, clenched hard, eyes dark.
“Is that Fourth Miss Qu?” Pei Luoan also saw the commotion over here and whispered, “What a scandal!”
“Your Highness the Crown Prince feels bad?” Liu Lanxin relaxed her demeanor and asked in a soft voice.
“Naturally it’s not good, Uncle Wang is being punished for kneeling, what is she doing here?” Pei Luoan’s face was full of disapproval, his usual gentle face, this would look a little visibly displeased.
Empress Dowager and Noble Consort He had already gone in, and could hear voices talking in the imperial study, and the low sound of crying, which should be Noble Consort He crying and complaining.
“Fourth Miss Qu is probably worried about King Utopia!” Liu Lanxin kindly said.
“So what? The name is not correct!” Pei Luoan hummed lightly, visible that he didn’t agree with Qu Mo Ying kneeling together.
“Is Fourth Miss Qu … going to marry the Utopia County King?” Liu Lanxin bit her lip, and the words still came out.
“Qu fourth miss is the side consort of the king’s uncle, but … this is actually not formally booked.” Pei Luoan said in disbelief, without an official decree going down, it couldn’t be taken seriously after all.
Qu House of the third young lady, which went into the second brother’s house, also because there is no official decree down, temporarily even a name is not, even if it is sent directly into how!
In the end, it was only after the mother’s hand was loosened a bit and she was allowed to pass through the door that she was given the official title of concubine consort.
Pei Luoan said rather unimpressed, although mother can’t directly hold the king’s uncle, but this name is in mother’s hands.
The two stood in the doorway, waiting for the summons from inside, chatting idly with each other, when suddenly a chamberlain came out from inside, and the two immediately stood up straight.
The chamberlain went out and turned to the side, then saw Empress Dowager walking out upright, behind her He Guifei daintily holding the hand of a palace maid.
I can’t believe they’re not the two who were summoned in?
After a puzzled glance at each other, the two men greeted …
