Chapter 180 Noble Lady Qi Complains
Concubine Qi looked at Jingtai, the useless servant who caused her to fall to the ground, and she became even more angry.
Concubine Qi rubbed her buttocks and scolded, "Humph, why don't you help me up quickly? If you delay the time to see the emperor, I will see how I will deal with you."
Concubine Qi planned to go to the Emperor immediately to report Concubine Hua for making things difficult for her.
Jingtai nodded repeatedly and she quickly got up and helped Concubine Qi up again.
After carefully helping Concubine Qi to sit on the sedan chair, Jingtai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Concubine Qi finally arrived at the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After receiving Su Peisheng's message, she took a deep breath, tidied her clothes and makeup, and gathered her emotions. Then, she let Jingtai help her enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
As soon as she entered the palace, Concubine Qi bowed to the emperor with a pitiful look and a choked voice, saying, "Your Highness...Your Highness, Your Highness!"
The emperor looked at Concubine Qi's appearance, frowned slightly and said, "No need to be polite, please take a seat!"
Concubine Qi sat on the chair brought by Su Peisheng, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, but she didn't say a word.
The Emperor had already guessed that Concubine Qi had been bullied and had come to him to complain. He hated people in the harem who were jealous and petty and came to him to complain the most.
But after all, Concubine Qi had just entered the palace and was ignorant, so it was understandable. The emperor patiently asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Concubine Qi used her embroidered handkerchief to wipe the tears from her eyes in a pretentious manner, and then said in a tender voice, full of grievance: "Since I came out of my mother's womb, I have never suffered such an injustice. I am disrespectful."
"What's going on? If you don't tell me, how would I know about your grievances?" The emperor said, crossing his legs and looking at Concubine Qi.
“I have just arrived at the palace and my position is low, but I have never intended to offend other sisters. But who would have thought…” When Concubine Qi said this, tears welled up in her eyes and her crying voice became more intense.
The Emperor looked at Concubine Qi, whose tearful and pitiful appearance made him feel distressed and inexplicably irritated.
"Tell me quickly, I will make the decision for you."
Concubine Qi sniffed, tears slowly dripping down her cheeks, and continued: "I met Concubine Hua in the palace. She saw that I had just entered the palace and my position was lower than hers."
"I was just one or two minutes late in paying my respects to her, and she started to make things difficult for me. She made me kneel for two hours in this freezing cold weather. Woo woo woo..."
Concubine Qi cried very uncomfortably, "My knees are almost broken from kneeling, wuwuwu..."
After listening to Concubine Qi's crying, the emperor frowned even more tightly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Concubine Hua has a bad temper. Please forgive her. You saluted her, which is a respectful etiquette. It's your fault that you didn't salute her in time."
When Concubine Qi heard this, she felt even more aggrieved before the Emperor had finished speaking.
The emperor raised his voice and continued, "As for her punishing you to kneel for two hours, it was indeed a bit excessive."
Seeing Concubine Qi crying uncontrollably, the Emperor consoled her: "Look at you, you got angry and your makeup is ruined, your face is crooked, you don't look good at all."
Concubine Qi was a little anxious and felt that the Emperor had no intention of seeking justice for her.
She immediately cried and said, "Your Majesty is partial to me. The mistake I made today was not serious enough to punish me by kneeling for two hours. I feel wronged. If she treats me like this today, who knows... if she kills me someday."
The emperor raised his lips to an imperceptible smile. This little girl is so young, but she thinks a lot.
So he said in a gentle voice, "Okay, I will feel bad even if I kill you. Go and wipe your face. I will take care of this matter."
When Concubine Qi heard the emperor say he would deal with it, she immediately stopped sobbing and confirmed with an expectant look, "Really? Then I am relieved."
The emperor nodded slightly: "Yes."
Su Peisheng, who was standing aside, looked at the pretentious look of Concubine Qi in front of him and felt really worried for her. She didn't know what was good for her at all. She even dared to sue Concubine Hua and didn't understand her own status and position at all.
After Concubine Qi left, the emperor turned to ask Su Peisheng: "Su Peisheng."
Su Peisheng replied respectfully: "The servant is here!"
"Is what Lady Qi said true?"
"Your Majesty, what Concubine Qi said is true, but Concubine Hua did not punish Concubine Qi for no reason. When Concubine Hua questioned Concubine Qi, Concubine Qi talked back to her every time. Concubine Hua felt offended, so she punished her to kneel for two hours."
Su Peisheng has never liked Concubine Qi, but Concubine Hua has always respected him very much. Just for this respect, Su Peisheng would say a few good words for Concubine Hua.
At the same time, Concubine Hua often rewarded him with some valuable items. In Su Peisheng's eyes, Concubine Hua's love for the emperor was very pure, so Su Peisheng was also quite respectful to Concubine Hua.
The emperor originally wanted to punish Concubine Hua, but after listening to Su Peisheng's words, he felt that Concubine Hua did not do anything wrong, so he planned to give some rewards to Concubine Qi, comfort her a few words and let the matter go.
(Afterword: Later, when Concubine Qi learned that the Emperor had not substantially punished Concubine Hua, she cried all night on her bed, her eyes were swollen from crying and she couldn't see anyone. She claimed to be sick and didn't go out for several days.)
next day
After the emperor finished his morning court, he ran to Yongshou Palace. The emperor had been going to Yongshou Palace very frequently in recent days. At this time, Yu Rao was also beside Zhen Huan, accompanying her and talking to her.
As soon as the emperor saw Yu Rao, he was in a good mood, and all the unhappiness brought to him by the ministers in the court disappeared in an instant.
Yu Rao is young and lively, with a stunning appearance. Even Zhen Huan, whom the emperor likes, looks a little gloomy when she is next to Yu Rao.
The emperor sat on the couch, holding a book, pretending to read it. When he saw a passage, he suddenly had an idea and said to Yu Rao who was sitting next to Zhen Huan: "Your name is Yu Rao."
Yu Rao said speechlessly: "Your Majesty is asking questions even though you already know the answer."
The emperor said seriously: "Rao, the master is charming and beautiful, but she doesn't match your strong character."
"A woman is gentle and kind. I will give you a name, Yuwan, okay?" The emperor smiled and expected Yurao to agree.
When Zhen Huan was chatting privately with Prince Guo, they talked about Queen Chun Yuan. The emperor once called Chun Yuan's nickname "Wan Wan", and the word "Wan" was the title given to her by the emperor. She was the substitute for Chun Yuan. Fortunately, she never had any feelings for the emperor from beginning to end.
Now the Emperor wants to give Yu Rao the character "Wan", which is pronounced the same as "Wan". It must be because Yu Rao's appearance is very similar to that of Queen Chun Yuan, so the Emperor did this.
Zhen Huan saw through the emperor's thoughts and felt a little angry. She didn't want her sister to fall into the clutches of this old pervert.
Zhen Huan suppressed her displeasure and said with a smile, "It's fine to call her Wan, but where did it come from? You can't say that the emperor gave her the name, or that he just picked up a random word and gave it to my second sister."
