Chapter 487: Every word is so precious, I can't resist it
The word "concubine" hurt Qin Yumo's heart.
The reason why she kept emphasizing the concubine was just that it sounded better.
This is also to give some face to the royal concubines, so they are called side rooms.
Concubine, isn’t that still a concubine?
"But now, the Third Prince keeps saying that the person he likes is me and he has never had any feelings for you. What do you want me to do? How can a noble lady be willing to be a concubine? Even if she wants to be a concubine, she should enter the palace and be the emperor's concubine, don't you think?"
This sentence was taught by Ji Chuhe.
Qin Yumo's face immediately lost color.
"There is no point in you kneeling here. It is not up to me to decide whether you can be the concubine of the Third Prince or not. You should still consider your status as a noble lady and the face of Prime Minister Qin's Mansion."
Qin Yumo suddenly felt ashamed.
I can't wait to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Rong Qingqing didn't care whether Qin Yumo left or not. She had already said what she wanted to say and walked straight into the Prince's Mansion.
Ji Chuhe also returned home in a carriage.
Ji Chuhe had guessed most of the Queen's plan.
Today, even if she and Qingqing ignored Qin Yumo and went straight into the mansion, the Queen's plan would not succeed!
The Queen still underestimated how protective everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was of their children.
……
"She really said that!" The queen's eyes were full of shock!
Rong Qingqing's words seemed to be defending the Third Prince and humiliating Qin Yumo everywhere, but one cannot read them carefully!
Humiliating Qin Yumo is fake, humiliating Qin Xiangfu is real!
It was false that he was helping the Third Prince, but it was actually hinting that the Third Prince had ambitions!
Everyone would think, what does a prince want to do when he first marries the daughter of the Duke of Rong as his principal wife and then marries the daughter of the Prime Minister as his concubine?
Rong Qingqing also mentioned the emperor!
Isn't this comparing the Third Prince with the Emperor?
The third prince is just a prince, but he has such a big heart that he marries a noble lady as a concubine. What will the emperor think?
Her plan was strangled before it could even begin to be implemented!
She first thought about using the years of love between husband and wife to impress the emperor, continue to be humble, and use the Third Prince's kindness as an excuse. As long as she could delay this matter for a few days, she would have time to shake up Prime Minister Qin's residence.
Even if she, as the queen, had to lower her status to talk to Prime Minister Qin and his wife, she would accept it.
If Prime Minister Qin's mansion is willing to give in, the emperor will not be so embarrassed.
The power of Prime Minister Qin's Mansion has now been almost weakened by the Emperor. Given the current situation in the court, unless the nobles are no longer suppressed and regain power, they will never pose any threat to the Emperor's new policies.
As for the Rongguo Mansion, her plan is to make the matter a fait accompli!
See how Rong Qingqing cancels the engagement!
In this way, she had control over all three sides.
If, one day, the emperor really wants to take action against them and their son, they can also unite with the aristocratic families and use their power to seize power.
However, all this was in vain because of Rong Qingqing's few words!
"Has the emperor left the court yet?" the queen asked the palace maid beside her.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has not yet left the court."
Normally the emperor would have left court at this time, but it was so late today, something must have happened in the court.
"Did the person sent to get the news reply?"
"No." The maid shook her head.
In the past, the Queen had sent people to secretly visit Chao Sihai many times to find out what the court was discussing.
Generally speaking, Chao Sihai would send her messages.
Only in a few cases, when there were some very sensitive matters in the court, Chao Sihai would just pretend not to hear them and would not respond at all.
There has been no reply for such a long time today. Can't you even tell me what happened in the court?
"Where is the third prince?"
"The Third Prince is still kneeling in the Emperor's bedroom."
The queen's heart sank little by little.
At this time, Ji Chuhe was holding You'er and playing with a rattle.
Mianzhu came over and replied, "Madam, Miss Qingqing, Qin Yumo left in disgrace."
"The words my sister-in-law taught me are more powerful." Rong Qingqing looked proud.
"You! What we said means nothing. I guess the court will be even more lively today."
"Sister-in-law, you can even predict what happens in the court?"
"I can't predict what happens in the court, but I know my grandfather."
Ji Chuhe is right.
In today's court, as soon as the serious business was finished, the Emperor directly called for the court to be adjourned and did not stop Duke Rong.
In front of all the civil and military officials in the court, Duke Rong directly asked the emperor to cancel the marriage between the third prince and Rong Qingqing, and to make the third prince and Qin Yumo a couple.
When Prime Minister Qin came to court, he didn't know that Qin Yumo had insisted on kneeling outside the Sizi Mansion.
When I heard what Duke Rong said, I was unhappy.
"Duke Rong, this is wrong! There is nothing innocent between my granddaughter and the third prince! There is absolutely no love affair between them! The third prince saved my granddaughter. This was just an ordinary act of kindness. There is no need to interpret it deliberately! We will not bite back at the third prince for his good deed and hold him responsible!" Prime Minister Qin's voice was sonorous and powerful.
"Prime Minister Qin, you said it lightly, don't you even care about your daughter's reputation?"
"My Qin family's children are not so delicate. If no one dares to marry her because of this matter, then she can choose not to marry and live a life of seclusion from now on."
"Prime Minister Qin is so sure that your granddaughter and the third prince are innocent, but the rumors outside are not like that! Prime Minister Qin should listen to the outside voices and not just immerse himself in his own world. You casually said that you will never marry and live a life of seclusion and worship. Have you ever thought about your own children? Do they want to live like this?"
"Duke Rong is not allowed to worry about the tutoring in my house!"
"How can I not worry? It's because there's something wrong with your family education, and it's affecting my granddaughter, that I'm saying these things! I initially thought that Prime Minister Qin's family wouldn't produce such offspring, but unexpectedly, Prime Minister Qin's performance today opened my eyes. He's really good at lying with his eyes open! This is what they call a crooked upper beam leads to crooked lower beams!"
"You!" Prime Minister Qin was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Chuan'er! You were there at the time. Tell everyone what you saw, and let Prime Minister Qin understand the situation!" Duke Rong didn't care whether the emperor agreed or not, and directly pulled Rong Yuchuan out.
The emperor looked at the gossipy expressions on the faces of the civil and military officials in the court and secretly clenched his fists.
He, the emperor, has become a decoration today!
Rong Yuchuan first bowed to Prime Minister Qin and said, "Prime Minister Qin, I just finished my work last night and was about to go back home. On the way back home, I ran into the Third Prince. The Third Prince was riding a fast horse and looked very anxious. I was worried that something had happened, so I followed him to see if I could help."
"The Third Prince ran straight to the river, calling Miss Qin's name anxiously. I remember clearly that the Third Prince called her 'Yu Mo'. If they were not close friends, would they call her that? Then, the Third Prince ignored the guards' dissuasion and jumped into the river to rescue Miss Qin."
"Later, Miss Qin was rescued by the Third Prince. The Crown Prince and Jin Mingxue from the government office happened to find the Third Prince and Qin Yumo downstream. The Crown Prince saw the two of them with his own eyes..."
Rong Yuchuan looked as if he couldn't speak.
