Queen Pei wanted to use the scandal of the broken sleeves to ruin Qi Jue's reputation.
Fortunately, the scandal of the broken sleeves had not yet spread, but the love-hate relationship between Qi Jue and some female general had already spread throughout the streets.
In this way, instead of ruining Qi Jue's reputation, it actually made the originally aloof and untouchable King Dingbei feel down to earth in an instant.
No matter how powerful King Dingbei is, he still has seven emotions and six desires, and he also likes the love between men and women. This makes the noble ladies in the imperial capital admire him even more, and they all feel that they can also become the female general in the story and have a chat with Qi Jue.
Romantic love!
Queen Pei was really pissed off. She tried so hard to plan, but nothing came of it.
The use of Peacock Epiphyllum to frame Concubine Zhuang was exposed, and she was fined a salary and banned from the palace.
They wanted to use the scandal of the cut-sleeve habit to slander Qi Jue's reputation, but the imperial capital inexplicably became angry about the love-hate relationship between Qi Jue and that female general. Instead of ruining Qi Jue's reputation, it actually made him even more popular.
The girls liked it.
This was really a plan, and in the end everyone was given a dowry!
"Who opened that newly popular teahouse?"
Pei Duqin hesitated for a moment. Looking at Queen Pei's expression, she knew that her plan had been ruined. She would definitely not let this teahouse have another chance to open.
But even if he doesn't say anything right now, with Queen Pei's methods, she can quickly find out on her own.
"It's Yan Mingzhu."
Hearing this name, Queen Pei narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Is it the Yan Mingzhu, the third daughter of the Earl of Pingchang who hurt Dalang's life? This woman is really destined to be at odds with our Pei family.
!”
Pei Duqin explained: "Aunt Huang, this matter is probably just a coincidence. That teahouse was one of her dowries. It just happened that such a story was told in the teahouse, which inadvertently ruined your plan."
Just as he was talking, a eunuch came in with his arms bent and reported: "Empress, I have found out that the woman who is with King Dingbei today is Yan Mingzhu, the third daughter of the Earl of Pingchang.
According to the person we arranged, Concubine Zhuang took her to the flower room and stayed there for a long time. There were also some strange things brought in by the palace maids. The servant boldly guessed that it was these things that saved the peacock.
Epiphyllum."
Queen Pei slapped the table, her eyes full of anger, "What a Yan Mingzhu, he has ruined my good deeds again and again. I remember that my brother was fined twice, and it was also related to this woman, as well as Da Lang and
He'er, you've all been harmed by her, right?
Oh, I used to underestimate this woman, but she is so capable, causing our Pei family to suffer one after another. This woman can no longer be kept, and must be dealt with immediately, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"
When he heard that Queen Pei actually wanted to kill Yan Mingzhu, Pei Duqin's face changed slightly, "Emperor Aunt, regarding the matter between Yan Mingzhu and the eldest brother, the eldest brother was at fault first, and when He'er was imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion, it was she who went to cause trouble first.
As for my father's matter, my father came to the door first, and what happened today is probably a coincidence..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Queen Pei with dissatisfaction: "Qin'er, this woman has caused the Pei family to lose face, ruined my carefully planned situation, and caused me to be banned from the palace.
, you actually begged and spoke for her?"
"Nephew...nephew is just telling the truth. After all, she is also a pitiful person."
Queen Pei sneered, "Poor thing? I heard from people that when she went against the Pei family several times, Qi Jue stood up and spoke for her. It was a good trick, so she reconciled with Da Lang and turned around to hook up.
If you fall in love with Qi Jue, you can’t keep such a cruel and ruthless woman!”
Pei Duqin could only say in a roundabout way: "Aunt Huang, if we kill Yan Mingzhu so directly, wouldn't it be too easy for her? After all, she caused our Pei family a lot of trouble."
Aunt Lu intervened at the right time: "Madam, I think what the Second Young Master said is not unreasonable. I do have a plan, but I don't know if it is feasible or not."
Queen Pei rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Tell me more."
"Isn't King Dingbei looking for that woman Yan Mingzhu? Then let's use a trick to get them to sleep together, and then ask someone to catch the adulterer on the spot. By then, the whole empire will spread the news that King Dingbei is secretly sleeping with a concubine.
,
With King Dingbei's popularity among the noble ladies, there will be no need for us to take action at that time, someone will make her life unhappy. Secondly, King Dingbei ignored the noble lady, but he fell in love with a broken shoe. In His Majesty's heart,
Your image will also be greatly reduced, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"
This strategy can be described as sinister. It will not only make Yan Mingzhu lose his integrity and be reviled by thousands of people, but also drag Qi Jue into the water. By then, which important minister will dare to marry his daughter to Qi Jue?
Queen Pei showed a satisfied smile, "Very good. The Double Ninth Festival is approaching, which is an excellent opportunity. I write a letter, Qin'er, and take it to your brother. Don't ask him to be cautious. As long as you can tell this matter
Once this is done, Qi Jue will no longer be able to threaten the crown prince’s position!”
Although Pei Duqin disagreed with this approach in his heart, it was the most despicable behavior to ruin a girl's family's innocence.
But he is a member of the Pei family, and he shoulders the heavy responsibility for the prosperity of the family. There are some things that he must do even if he doesn't want to.
"Yes, Auntie Huang."
In the side hall, as soon as Yan Mingzhu came in, someone led the imperial doctor over.
"Miss Yan, please sit down and let Dr. Tang take your pulse."
Yan Mingzhu couldn't laugh or cry when she saw this battle, "I'm fine. I'll just sit down and rest for a while. No need to bother the doctor."
"No trouble, no trouble. I have to let Dr. Tang take a look at it in person, so that His Highness can rest assured. Miss Yan, please sit down quickly, Dr. Tang!"
Yan Mingzhu had no choice but to sit down on the warm couch. Doctor Tang put a handkerchief on her wrist and took her pulse.
"The girl's spleen and lungs are a little weak. I'm afraid it's caused by thinking too much. I'll prescribe a prescription to regulate the spleen and lungs. After taking it for about a month, you'll be back to normal."
Yan Mingzhu knew medical skills herself, so of course she knew the condition of her body, but she still thanked her.
"It's fine, Miss Yan, just rest. I'll report to His Highness!"
As soon as Feiyu left, Yan Mingzhu felt that the hall was a little stuffy, so she opened the window lattice.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the opening was opened, a deep and hoarse voice came: "Wait a minute, girl."
Yan Mingzhu's body stiffened suddenly, and she instinctively wanted to close the window lattice.
However, one hand reacted quickly and held down the other end of the window lattice, preventing Yan Mingzhu from closing the window.
"Why did the girl want to hide when she saw her true face?"
Yan Mingzhu ran straight into Mingtai's eyes that seemed to see everything!
Seventeen years can really change a lot.
The once high-spirited brother now has a lot of gray hair on his temples, his eyes are stern and unsmiling, and he is completely different from the smiling Mingtai seventeen years ago.
Looking at this familiar and experienced face, Yan Mingzhu wanted to call her brother, but she couldn't.
At least, not now.
She lowered her head and suppressed the myriad of emotions in her heart, "My maid... I have seen the light of day."
