If Xuanyuan Ce knew what the Yu family had done, he would definitely look for Consort Jing’ an.
What would Xuanyuan Ye do?
Naturally, she would look for her backer, the emperor of the Xuanyuan Kingdom, to complain.
Shen Yijia could already imagine what she would say. When the time came, she would definitely say, “Father questioned Mother as soon as he returned to the residence for that b*tch. He completely disregarded his relationship with Mother. Uncle, you have to stand up for us.”
“Father questioned Mother as soon as he returned to the residence for that b*tch. He completely disregarded his relationship with Mother. Uncle, you have to stand up for us.”
In the Yuqian Palace, Xuanyuan Qi looked up at her, and then at the breakfast that had just been placed in front of him. He sighed and waved his hand to signal the eunuch to remove the food.
“Did I disturb Imperial Uncle’s breakfast?” Xuanyuan Ye felt a little guilty.
However, she could not take it lying down for the entire night. That was why she calculated the time for the morning court assembly and secretly entered the palace without telling her mother.
???????????????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????.???????????? ???????? ???????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????????? ????????????????????????.
Xuanyuan Qi looked at the breakfast that the eunuch was collecting from the food box and swallowed. He thought to himself, “It’s fine. I don’t have an appetite today.”
“What did you mean by that just now? What mistress? Where did that come from?” Realizing that Xuanyuan Ye had said “b*tch” just now, he clicked his tongue. “As the princess of my Xuanyuan Kingdom, you have to be more careful with your words in the future. Don’t forget your status.”
Actually, Xuanyuan Ye regretted it immediately after saying that. Fortunately, she knew that the emperor doted on her and would not really blame her for such a small matter.
She explained reluctantly, “My father brought back a woman from somewhere. That woman has a daughter.”
“You’re saying that your father raised a mistress?” Xuanyuan Qi felt that this was the funniest joke he had heard this year.
How could he not know what kind of person Xuanyuan Ce was? If not for the fact that he knew that Xuanyuan Ce had taken a fancy to a woman back then, he would have suspected that his younger brother was homosexual.
Seeing his expression, Xuanyuan Ye knew that he did not believe her. She stomped her feet. “It’s true. Yesterday, Father even quarreled with my mother over that woman.”
“Oh?” Seeing that she didn’t seem to be joking, Xuanyuan Qi stopped smiling and waved his hand to dismiss the eunuchs serving in the hall. He continued. “Tell me in detail what happened.”
Xuanyuan Ye recounted what had happened after Xuanyuan Ce returned to the residence yesterday. In the end, she cried and said with an aggrieved expression, “Uncle Emperor, my mother is only a woman from the back residence. Because Father is not around, she rarely attends those madams’ banquets. In the past, other than entering the palace to pay her respects to Grandmother and accompany her to pay respects to Buddha, she would at most go to Dayan Temple to pray for Father’s safety. How could she commit murder?”
“However, my father believed that b*tch. That girl’s provocation did not leave any dignity for my mother at all. Uncle, you have to stand up for my mother this time.”
Xuanyuan Ye was actually not too stupid. She seemed to be excusing Madam Yu, but she actually meant the same thing.
Although Xuanyuan Ce had let Madam Yu down, Madam Yu still served the empress dowager on his behalf and worried about his safety at all times.
Be it the empress dowager or Xuanyuan Ce, they were the closest relatives the king cared about the most. With such a sensible sister-in-law around, how could he have the cheek to doubt her?
Xuanyuan Qi frowned. She gave such a vivid description. It seemed likely that this mistress really existed.
However, her identity as a “mistress”…
“Your father has indeed gone overboard.” He glanced at Xuanyuan Ye and pointed at the imperial desk. “Alright, stop crying. If you continue crying, your grandmother will feel sorry for you.”
Xuanyuan Ye sniffed and obediently wiped her tears. She looked at Xuanyuan Qi with teary eyes, waiting for him to continue.
“I’ll send someone to investigate this matter. If your father really wronged your mother, I’ll definitely ask him to apologize to your mother.”
“What about the mother and daughter?”
Xuanyuan Qi said in a low voice, “Those who stir up trouble naturally have to be punished. Don’t worry about this. I won’t let you suffer. Remember, you’re the legitimate daughter of Lord Jing’an’s residence. No one can surpass you.”
Although she did not make the emperor immediately deal with the mother and daughter, this matter at least left a bad impression on the mother and daughter in front of the emperor.
Xuanyuan Ye stopped while she was ahead. Seeing that the teacup in front of Xuanyuan Qi was empty, she went forward and poured him a cup of tea. “I knew Imperial Uncle was the best..”
