“Mom Consort.” Solar Caiyao noticed Ning Fei nonetheless kneeling in entrance of Mingyue Palace’s predominant corridor, and reached out to assist. Nevertheless, she was stopped by a palace maid with a chilly expression.

“Qi Junwangfei.” The palace maid bowed to her, “Ning Fei niangniang sincerely needs to see our niangniang. It wouldn’t be an enormous deal in the event you had been to assist her up. However this slave is afraid that doing so would result in Guifei niangniang not attending to know Ning Fei niangniang’s sincerity.”

Solar Caiyao knew that this was Su Guifei intentionally making issues troublesome for Mom Consort, so she mentioned: “Mom Consort’s physique is delicate. I’m prepared to kneel in her place and present sincerity.”

“Junwangfei’s sense of filial piety is commendable. Nevertheless, this slave is only a lowly little palace maid of Mingyue Palace. How can this slave surmise Guifei niangniang’s ideas?” The palace maid instantly knelt down in entrance of Solar Caiyao: “Qi Junwangfei, please don’t make it troublesome for this slave.”

“Qi Junwangfei, please don’t make issues troublesome for this slave.” The opposite palace maids and eunuchs guarding exterior the corridor additionally knelt down and echoed.

Solar Caiyao checked out these servants, after which checked out Ning Fei, who was clearly bodily exhausted. She gritted her enamel and knelt down subsequent to Ning Fei, saying: “Begging Guifei niangniang to satisfy us.”

Ning Fei’s physique swayed as she checked out her: “Why did you come? Fast, return.”

“Mom Consort is struggling. How can your daughter-in-law simply watch?” Solar Caiyao supported her: “Mom Consort, you may lean on me in case you’re feeling uncomfortable.”

At this second, Ning Fei hated that she couldn’t push her away.

She had already been kneeling right here for a number of hours, hoping to faint from exhaustion. However now that Solar Caiyao got here, her plan was ruined.

“You return and care for Yanze. I’m tremendous…” 

The door slowly opened. Ning Fei raised her head and noticed Su Meidai, adorning an elaborate palace apparel, stepping out and looking out down at her.

Again then, throughout Su Meidai’s appointment ceremony because the guifei, she knelt beneath, whereas Su Meidai sat excessive on the Qingluan chair, her with the identical look in her eyes.

“Greetings, niangniang.” Solar Caiyao bowed deeply.

“What’s flawed with all of you? How are you going to let Qi Junwangfei kneel right here?” Xiangjuan pretended to scold the palace maids: “Rapidly assist her up.”

“Is Junwangfei right here to search for Jiuzhu?” Su Guifei checked out Solar Caiyao, who was being ‘helped’ up by the palace maids, and nodded with a smile: “Go and inform Xianzhu that Junwangfei is right here to see her.”

“Guifei niangniang, I’m not…” 

“Qi Junwangfei, Ben Gong is your elder.” Su Guifei’s phoenix eyes shone a little bit, her phrases carrying a touch of laughter: “It’s so late. If you’re not right here for Xianzhu, may it’s that you’re on the lookout for Ben Gong? Ben Gong is outdated and weak, and dislikes being disturbed at night time. Yanze has at all times been respectful and filial, and as his respectable spouse, I feel you ought to be as respectful as him.” 

Solar Caiyao inwardly grumbled however couldn’t refute Su Guifei’s phrases. 

Since there was no Empress within the Palace, the highest-ranking Su Guifei held the identical place because the deputy Empress. In actual fact, if one seemed intently, it wouldn’t be flawed if all of the princes and princesses referred to as her ‘Mom Consort Su’. 

“Take Junwangfei to the facet corridor and await Xianzhu to reach.” Su Guifei raised her hand and took unhurried steps towards Ning Fei, who was nonetheless kneeling on the bottom. “Ben Gong recollects that eight years in the past, when His Majesty went south, you had been sick. Isn’t that proper?” 

Ning Fei lowered her head. “This concubine doesn’t get what niangniang means.” 

“It doesn’t matter in the event you perceive or not.” Su Guifei grabbed Ning Fei’s hair and compelled her to look into her eyes. “Zheng Lanyin, take a look at Ben Gong!” 

Ning Fei struggled a bit, gritting her enamel to suppress all her anger. “Niangniang, what are you attempting to do?” 

“Heh.” Su Guifei sneered: “Simply letting you already know that from at the moment on, Ben Gong will make you perceive what it means to be an conceited and domineering favored consort.” 

Ning Fei’s expression modified drastically. 

“Don’t be afraid or anxious.” Su Guifei let go of her hair, stood up, and washed her palms in a copper basin. She wiped her hand and walked to Ning Fei. “Ben Gong feels the title ‘Ning1T/N: Ning (宁) means peaceable.‘ will not be appropriate for you. Even your rank of a fei will not be appropriate both.” 

“What do you…” She paused, wanting down with a smile, “take into consideration the title ‘Zheng Meiren2T/N: Meiren (美人) could be translated as ‘Magnificence’. I’m not sure which dynasty’s harem rating the novel is utilizing so I can’t precisely level it out. However a meiren is normally a fifth-sixth rank and even decrease concubine whereas a guifei (贵妃 / noble consort) is second or third and a fei (妃 / consort) is just under. Therefore, Su Guifei is principally hinting at her demotion and disposal of the ‘Ning’ title bestowed by the Emperor.‘?” 

“No, you can not do that to me!” Ning Fei lastly panicked. “I gave beginning to a prince for His Majesty. He wouldn’t deal with me like this.” 

“Strive me.” Su Guifei handed her handkerchief to a palace maid and mentioned coldly. “Zheng Lanyin, one sows what one reaps. The account between us could be settled slowly.” 

Ning Fei checked out Su Guifei in alarm; what did she know? 

If Su Meidai is aware of, does it imply His Majesty is aware of as properly? 

As if she knew what Ning Fei was pondering, Su Guifei smiled. “You possibly can try to guess what Ben Gong is aware of. Oh, and as for His Majesty, do you suppose he’ll know what Ben Gong is aware of?” 

“Su Meidai!” Ning Fei grabbed her skirt hysterically. “Are you not afraid that others will take revenge on you in your impudence?” 

Su Guifei took two steps again as if she had heard a joke. “On this harem, so long as one has His Majesty’s favor, it doesn’t matter whether or not she is brazen or not. She’s going to at all times be a thorn within the flesh.”

“You suppose I care?” Su Guifei mentioned frivolously. “Ladies shouldn’t make issues troublesome for different girls. It is best to have by no means schemed in opposition to my little one.” 

“Zheng Lanyin, you’re the mom and so is Ben Gong.”

“Su Meidai, you depend on His Majesty’s favor to behave so arrogantly. There’ll inevitably be a day…”

“Shhh.” Su Guifei smiled gently. “Zheng Lanyin, Ben Gong follows a precept, which is that youngsters shouldn’t endure instead of their dad and mom. You should not compel me to ignore it, perceive?”

Ning Fei swallowed her phrases forcefully. She retreated on her stiff legs and knelt once more in entrance of Su Guifei with a kowtow: “How are you to be prepared to let me off the hook?”

Su Guifei checked out her expressionlessly.

“His Highness Qi Junwang?”

Upon listening to a palace maid’s voice, Su Guifei raised her head and noticed Yun Yanze standing not distant with a deathly pale face.

Within the again corridor, Chen Wang checked out Jiuzhu. Her palms had been positioned on her knees as she sat in her place like an obedient and well-behaved child. Sensing his gaze, she checked out him and blinked. “Your Highness, do you want to say one thing?”

Chen Wang didn’t know what to say. He felt like he had lots to say, however when he checked out her, he felt that no matter he needed to say wasn’t fairly proper.

A ridiculous thought even crossed his thoughts – if he had introduced Ming Jiuzhu again to the capital straight and saved her by his facet, it might have been fairly good.

“Have you ever suffered any grievances throughout the years you had been fostered in Lingzhou?” His thoughts was in a multitude, and in the long run, he solely requested such a boring query.

Jiuzhu shook her head. “My masters handled me properly. They’re cultivators who don’t bask in worldly needs, however they might nonetheless purchase rooster and fish for me. They are saying that cultivators ought to domesticate their hearts and minds and never bind others. I grew up within the mountains removed from the town and barely went down there. The one time I suffered grievances was once I met Your Highness. Grasp mentioned that it was referred to as having the nice fortune of being helped out by a noble.”

No surprise she had such a naive temperament. She was raised away from human settlement in any case. 

“Ming Xiaozhu.” He reached out and gently pinched the tip of her nostril. “You ah… You ah…”

A pleasant little guniang like her shouldn’t need to expertise every kind of conspiracies and darkness on the planet after marrying him ah.

“Your Highness.” Jiuzhu grabbed his wrist. “A woman’s nostril shouldn’t be pinched steadily. Doing so will make it ugly.”

“It’s okay, even when your nostril turns right into a pig’s nostril, Ben Wang is not going to dislike you.” He let go of her nostril. “Ben Wang will not be somebody who cares solely about look.”

“However that received’t do.” Jiuzhu shook her head. “I can’t let others see you and say that you simply married a pig-nosed Wangfei. It’s too embarrassing ah.”

“Ben Wang by no means cared about different folks’s phrases.” Chen Wang actually needed to pinch this little guniang’s cheeks, however pondering that she had not married him but, he needed to forcefully resist it. “So long as Ben Wang thinks you’re good, you might be good. Bought it?”

“So chennu is superb in Your Highness’s eyes, proper?” She checked out him expectantly.

Chen Wang chuckled and beckoned her along with his fingers.

Jiuzhu leaned her head over.

He flicked her brow. “Guess?”

Jiuzhu coated her brow and checked out him in disbelief, her eyes broad open in shock.

Cough. Feeling a little bit flustered by her gaze, Chen Wang rapidly nodded his head twice. “En.”

“Does Your Highness imply that you simply suppose I’m good?” Jiuzhu instantly grew to become completely satisfied once more.

Tsk. Chen Wang out of the blue seen that her brow was barely purple from his flick. He reached out and rubbed it along with his fingertip. “Does it harm?”

“It doesn’t harm.” Jiuzhu shook her head and held onto his sleeve. “Your Highness, please say extra.”

“You’re clever, competent, and delightful.” He watched her small hand holding onto his sleeve because it swayed forwards and backwards. “And your portray abilities are distinctive.”

“Aiya.” Jiuzhu held her barely blushing cheeks. “Your Highness, you might be exaggerating.”

Chen Wang: “……”

She mentioned he was exaggerating however she smiled so fortunately.

Hmph, dishonest girl.

“Your Highness, you’re not deceiving me, proper?”

“Would Ben Wang deceive you?”

“No.” Jiuzhu shook her head.

Chen Wang gently rubbed her brow. “It’s getting late, I ought to return to the Zhangliu Palace.”

Or else, these imperial concubines would begin gossiping about her.

“Then I’ll escort Your Highness to the principle entrance.” Jiuzhu stood up excitedly and bounced round. She was stuffed with pleasure.

“Watch out of the edge.” He pulled her again and similar to earlier than, held Jiuzhu’s hand over the sleeve.

“Your Highness.” Along with her hand wrapped in his sleeve, Jiuzhu felt notably secure. She even had a thought that if she closed her eyes and walked, he wouldn’t let her fall. “Can I am going go to you within the Zhangliu Palace tomorrow?”

Chen Wang actually needed to say that her father had given him a thick field of books to transcribe, however what got here out of his mouth was: “Certain.”

The little guniang had simply come to the Palace and won’t be used to it but, so he would accompany her for 2 days.

Solely two days, positively no more.

“Greetings, Guifei niangniang.” Yun Yanze checked out his Mom Consort kneeling humbly in entrance of Su Guifei, walked over to the 2, and lifted the nook of his gown earlier than kneeling down.

“If Mom Consort has been inconsiderate, erchen is prepared to take the punishment on her behalf.” He knocked his head in opposition to the bottom in entrance of Su Guifei. “Please have mercy on Mom Consort, Guifei niangniang.”

The lanterns on the Palace’s gate swayed because the night time wind blew, casting flickering shadows on Yun Yanze’s face.

Thud, thud.

Yun Yanze saved knocking his head on the bottom.

On the entrance of Mingyue Palace, silence enveloped everybody. Nobody dared to even breathe.

Simply then, the sound of a woman’s laughter reached their ears.

Jiuzhu walked to the doorway and noticed Yun Yanze kneeling and knocking his head on the bottom. Startled, she turned to ask Chen Wang: “Wouldn’t Qi Junwang’s wounds reopen if he kowtows like this after being caned?”

Everybody turned their heads to have a look at Ming Xianzhu, who appeared incompatible with the solemn ambiance.

Chen Wang took a step ahead and stood in entrance of her, shielding her from view.

Everybody rapidly averted their gaze.

As a prince, being punished was a ache that Qi Junwang couldn’t converse of. Ming Xianzhu’s phrases had been like a knife thrust straight into Qi Junwang’s chest ah.
