Chapter 1514 Queen Song: Song Tian will wash away today’s shame with her own hands!
Ningguo Mansion, Lixiangyuan
Xue Baochai's face, which was as white as a pear blossom and as pure as snow, seemed to show a trace of thought. She looked at Aunt Xue and said, "Mom, when I get back, I will ask the prince what's going on."
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "If Brother Heng can help ask around, we'll know the answer to this question."
With Heng Ge'er around, these are all trivial matters.
Baochai nodded, and with Aunt Xue's help, she came to sit on the couch by the window, looked at Xue Pan, and said comfortingly, "Brother, don't worry too much."
Xue Pan said: "It's all thanks to my sister's help."
At this moment, Xia Jingui smiled and asked, "Sister, why don't you see the prince?"
Everyone in the capital city knows that Prince Wei is a lecherous man who even got a nun pregnant. She thinks she is pretty enough, so if she offers herself to him, Prince Wei will probably... be reluctant, right?
Baochai's moist almond eyes sparkled under her beautiful eyebrows. She glanced at Xia Jingui and said softly, "The prince should be accompanying the princess back to her parents' home by now."
Xia Jingui nodded and said, "That's true."
This is the treatment of concubines and queens. After all, concubines are still side wives, while princesses are the queens' wives.
Aunt Xue smiled, came forward, took Baochai's delicate hand, and whispered, "You finally came back, let's talk."
Xia Jingui looked at Aunt Xue and Baochai and her mother, and felt depressed.

On the other side, Jia Heng left the Nuanxiangwu where Xichun was and walked towards the rear courtyard. When he arrived at the hall, he looked at Qin Keqing, who was gorgeous and elegant, and said with a smile, "Keqing, everything is ready."
Qin Keqing's eyes were as gentle as water, and she smiled brightly. She said, "I said I would take Fu'er to Daddy's place. Daddy said last time that he wanted to see Fu'er."
"Daddy~" Jia Fu's voice was soft, her black grape-like eyes rolled around, and she spoke softly.
Jia Heng said, "Come here, let daddy hug you."
As he spoke, he suddenly hugged Jia Fu and said, "Fu'er, go see grandpa later."
As he spoke, Jia Heng stared at Jia Fu's rosy and chubby face, kissed her gently, then turned to look at Qin Keqing and asked, "Where are the second and third sisters?"
Qin Keqing said, "Old Lady You is here, and the three of them are accompanying her to the West Mansion to see the old lady."
Jia Heng nodded, took Qin Keqing's slender hand, and said, "Let's go."
At this moment, he is holding his child in one hand and holding his wife's hand in the other. It really makes sense.
As they were talking, the family of three, served by their nanny and maidservants, headed towards the carriage parked outside the mansion.
A beautifully decorated carriage rumbled forward, escorted by servants, towards the Qin residence.
Qin Keqing nodded, and leaned her beautiful head against Jia Heng's shoulder, saying, "My husband, Yinglian is not young anymore. When will you take her home?"
Jia Heng's eyes were warm under his sword-like brows. He gently took Qin Keqing's arm and said, "It is a period of national mourning recently. The whole country is mourning together. It is really not appropriate to take a concubine."
Qin Keqing's beautiful face was filled with joy. She said, "My dear, we can wait until the national mourning is over before taking a concubine."
The glazed carriage with hanging curtains drove quickly towards the Qin residence without stopping.
At this moment, Qin Ye sat on the lacquered wooden chair, and not far away were Qin Zhong and his wife Zhao, chatting in a low voice.
His wife, Zhao, was the youngest daughter of Zhao Yi, the Minister of Works. She had beautiful features and was dignified and beautiful, looking like a lady from a noble family.
At this moment, a servant entered the hall from outside, looked at Qin Ye, and reported: "Master, the Prince of Wei and the Princess are here."
When Qin Ye heard this, a hint of joy appeared on his old and elegant face, and he whispered, "I'll go to meet him."
At this moment, Qin Zhong said: "Father is old, please sit in the hall, I will go to greet him."
While speaking, Qin Zhong stood up and left.
At this moment, Jia Heng had already arrived at the ceremonial gate holding Qin Keqing's hand. When he raised his eyes, he happened to see Qin Zhong.
Qin Zhong bowed and said, "Meet my brother-in-law."
Jia Heng nodded, stretched out his hand, supported Qin Zhong, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite, Mr. Jing."
As he spoke, he came closer and said to his daughter Jia Fu, who was held in one hand, "Fu'er, call me uncle."
Jia Fu responded softly, and then called to Qin Zhong softly, "Uncle."
Qin Zhong smiled, walked closer, stretched out his hand to pinch the baby's rosy cheeks, and said, "Fuer, I haven't seen you for a while. You have gained weight again."
Jia Fu said softly, "How can I be fatter?"
While Jia Heng was speaking, he suddenly picked up Jia Fu and went to the inner room.
At this moment, Qin Ye walked quickly to the eaves of the corridor, looked at Jia Heng and Qin Keqing, and called out, "Zi Yu is here."
Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked at the white-haired Qin Ye, with a warm smile on his face, and said, "Father-in-law."
"Grandpa." At this moment, Jia Fu, who was in Jia Heng's arms, called out in a soft and sweet voice.
"Hey." Qin Ye looked at the cute and chubby little girl, with a smile on his face, and his wrinkles seemed to be widening.
Qin Zhong smiled and whispered, "Brother-in-law, this is not the place to talk. Let's sit down in the flower hall and talk."
At this moment, Qin Zhong's wife, Zhao, paused for a moment and looked at the young man in the python robe with curiosity.
Zhao was actually quite curious about this Prince Wei who had made great contributions. She had often heard her father, the Minister of Works Zhao Yi, mention Jia Heng's reputation in her boudoir.
As they talked and exchanged pleasantries, they sat down in the hall. At this moment, servants and maids served them fragrant tea and stood by their side with bows.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Father-in-law, after the New Year, you should have retired."
Qin Ye twisted his gray beard with his hand, his cloudy eyes flickered, and he whispered: "Zi Yu is right, but I feel that I am still energetic and can stay busy for another two years."
Jia Heng: "..."
He really has a strong addiction to being an official.
In the words of Gao Zhiwu, how high is the position considered high enough for an official to hold?
Qin Keqing changed the subject. Under her beautiful eyebrows, her eyes were as soft as water. She turned to look at Qin Zhong beside her and said, "Brother, have you prepared for the imperial examination recently? I heard that the new emperor will hold an imperial examination to select talents soon."
Qin Zhong nodded and said gently, "I'm already preparing for the exam, but the exam is a competition among all provinces, so it's not easy to stand out."
Jia Heng said, "Just do your best. It's not easy to pass the imperial examination."
As everyone chatted, it was noon before they knew it and time to eat.
Plate after plate of fragrant dishes were placed on a lacquered wooden table. Jia Heng and Qin Ye sat down and inevitably talked about the recent situation in the court.
Qin Ye put down the wine cup in his hand and said with a smile: "The new emperor has ascended the throne and is still determined to govern the country. Zi Yu, where do you think our Han Dynasty will make efforts in the future?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "In terms of military achievements, there are still some territories from the Han and Tang dynasties that have not been recovered. In terms of civil governance, following the rule of the three generations of wise rulers, the literary talent should be accumulated and then released."
Qin Ye gently twisted his beard with his hand and said, "Zi Yu's words make sense."
At this moment, Jia Heng picked up a blue and white porcelain teacup, gently toasted Qin Ye, and said, "However... there is not much room for us to use our talents."
It has to be said that if things had followed the normal trajectory, his political mission would have come to an end after he conquered Liaodong.
Qin Ye said: "Zi Yu is young and strong, and he will be able to use his talents in the future."
Jia Heng smiled and didn't explain further.
On the other side, Qin Zhong raised his eyebrows and looked with admiration at the young man in the python costume who was talking to himself, with the look of a little fanboy.
Qin Zhong's wife, Zhao, had a pretty face full of curiosity.
Jia Heng talked with Qin Ye, and then they came to the study, sat down and started chatting.
Afterwards, Jia Heng did not linger for long. After lunch, he left Qin's house, let Qin Keqing and Fu'er spend the night at Qin's house, and rode back to Ningguo Mansion on horseback.
……
……
Palace Garden, Kunning Palace
Queen Song was dressed in a plain white dress, and wore a mourning outfit. Although her fair and pretty face was not made up, it did not detract from her beauty.
"Did she really say that?" Queen Song, who was as graceful as a spring mountain, raised her eyebrows and stared at the young female official opposite with her sharp eyes, and said.
The female official looked flustered and said, "Madam, the Shuyu Palace has found out that Xia Zongguan made a mistake and has checked all the accounts in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Queen Song's snow-white face was filled with anger, and she said in a cold voice, "This is outrageous. I am her mother, and she is so rude?"
It turned out that with Zhen Qing taking charge of the six palaces, the first thing she did was to take action against the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She first replaced Xia Shouzhong, the chief steward of the six palaces, and then ordered people to investigate corruption. She found a number of problems with the accounts and began to take advantage of the situation.
"Miss."
At this moment, a female official hurriedly entered the palace from outside, looked at Queen Song, and said, "Your Majesty, the people from Shuyu Palace are here."
As he was speaking, a young woman with a cold and beautiful face, long eyebrows and eyes, and wearing a black cloak, walked up to him with a step that didn't recognize any relatives. She bowed and said, "I greet the queen mother."
The person who came was none other than Zhen Qing.
At this moment, Zhen Qing's aura was fierce and sharp, and her aura was almost twenty feet high, making it difficult for strangers to approach her.
Queen Song stood up, raised her beautiful eyebrows as dark as spring mountains, and looked at Zhen Qing with a sharp look in her narrow and clear eyes.
This was a showdown between two generations of queens. At this moment, their eyes met, and both of them were unwilling to give in.
Queen Song was the first to break the silence and asked in a cold voice, "What is Concubine Zhen doing here at this time?"
Zhen Qing chuckled, but the cold and indifferent smile did not reach her eyes. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light, and she said, "It's not the second day of the Chinese New Year, and I came here to pay my respects to my mother."
Queen Song frowned and asked, "I don't need to pay respects to you. I want to ask you, what did Xia Shouzhong, the chief steward of the six palaces, do? Why was he detained? Did you take me seriously before?"
"Don't you know, mother? When Xia Shouzhong was the chief steward of the six palaces, he was corrupt and embezzled money everywhere. Didn't you condone it, mother?" Zhen Qing's eyebrows were sharp, her face was as cold as ice, and her voice couldn't help but rise a few degrees.
Queen Song scolded: "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext!"
Zhen Qing said, "If you don't believe me, wait until the Ministry of Internal Affairs has finished its interrogation before reviewing the case files. However, please move now, mother."
When Queen Song heard this, her fair face turned pale as paper and she asked, "You want to force me to leave Kunning Palace?"
It's really outrageous.
Zhen Qing said, "Mother, this is as it should be. It is not suitable for you to live in Kunning Palace anymore. It is normal for you to move."
Originally, Zhen Qing followed the advice of King Chu and avoided a conflict with Queen Song, but she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
When Queen Song heard this, her fair face turned pale as paper, and she was clearly speechless for a moment.
With a clear shout, he reprimanded, "The late emperor's body is still warm, and you are...bullying others like this?"
Zhen Qing's eyebrows were sharp, and her high cheekbones were full of pride. She said unhappily, "My queen, you still have the nerve to mention the late emperor to me. How did the late emperor die? Wasn't it because of the two rebellious sons Wei and Liang, who were born to you, that they angered him to death?"
Queen Song: “…”
At this moment, the beautiful Snow Girl was so angry at Zhen Qing's harsh words that her head "boomed". Her snow-white face turned as pale as paper, and was almost covered with frost.
When Zhen Qing saw the beautiful woman with fair skin and jade-like face, she was so angry that her whole body was trembling. The resentment that had been pent up in her heart dissipated a lot, and she felt much happier.
When she was trying to make things difficult for the person in front of her, she suffered a lot.
The King of Chu was a vassal of the royal family. Zhen Qing usually went to the palace to pay respects to Queen Song, and was in a situation where she had to follow the rules and receive bullying.
Of course, this may also be Zhen Qing’s subjective idea.
Zhen Qing arched her eyebrows, a hint of contempt flashed across her beautiful eyes, and she said in a cold voice, "Come here, help the queen pack up her things and move on."
"Yes." The female officials and maids on both sides of Zhen Qing responded.
Queen Song stood there in a daze, her delicate body trembling violently. From beneath her beautiful curved eyebrows, her sparkling eyes looked coldly at Zhen Qing, a feeling of resentment already forming in her heart.
Just wait until Zi Yu drives the King of Chu off the throne. She, Song Tian, will wash away today's shame with her own hands!
It can be said that at this moment, Queen Song's heart was filled with negative emotions, and she only wanted to find Zhen Qing in the future to get back at her.
Zhen Qing glanced at the beautiful woman with a cold look in her eyes and sneered in her heart.
This is not your time.
Queen Song calmed herself down, bit her pink lips with her crystal clear cherry teeth, and suppressed the humiliation and anger in her heart.
At this moment, a female official's voice came from outside, interrupting Zhen Qing's "persecution" of Queen Song, and said, "Empress Rong has arrived."
Soon, several female officials and maids came from under the eaves of the palace corridor towards the warm room, surrounding a beautiful woman with a plump face, beautiful hair, and a slim and quiet figure.
Soon, a beautiful lady in gorgeous clothes and elegant bun, accompanied by female officials and maids, walked around a brocade mica screen with a wooden base and entered the warm room in the palace. She saw two generations of queens confronting each other and female officials and maids who were packing clothes.
"Stop it all!"
The face of Concubine Duanrong was as white as ice, and she seemed to give a clear scolding, with a hint of anger in her cold and graceful eyes.
Jia Heng's mother-in-law originally had a cool and bright makeup, but at this moment, her fierce aura was released, showing the majestic posture of a royal sister.
Zhen Qing turned her jade-white face and looked at Concubine Duanrong with her narrow, clear eyes under her beautiful eyebrows. She said, "Concubine Rong, the late emperor has passed the seventh day of his death. The Kunning Palace where the queen lived should be vacated."
"The late emperor's body is still warm, and you are so rude to me?" Concubine Duanrong stared at Zhen Qing and said in a cold voice.
Zhen Qing's narrow, clear eyes flickered coldly under her beautiful eyebrows. She sneered, "Your Highness, you can't be unreasonable, can you? According to the palace's convention, after the death of the late emperor, the concubines all choose another palace to live in to express their grief. I am now following the palace's rules."
At this moment, Kunning Palace has become a place of "fighting". All three of them are graceful and beautiful, and at this moment, they can be said to be the young and middle-aged beauties in Chen Han's harem.
"How can you be so hasty and almost kick out the previous queen?" Imperial Concubine Duanrong raised her eyebrows, her snow-white face covered with frost, and asked coldly, "Do you still want to save the royal family's reputation?"
Zhen Qing stared at Queen Song, who was shaking with anger and unable to speak a word. After thinking for a moment, she said coldly, "Then I'll give you three more days. However, the rules of the palace cannot be broken."
As he said this, he turned around, glanced at the busy palace maids and eunuchs around him, and said, "Go back!"
After saying this, Zhen Qing, accompanied by a group of maids and palace maids, left Kunning Palace in a grand manner.
Concubine Duanrong walked up to Queen Song, supported the Queen Song, whose face was changing and she was very angry, and asked with concern: "Sister, are you okay?"
Queen Song gently waved her hand, biting her soft pink lips with her cherry teeth, and said in a cold voice: "This is really too much!"
Imperial Concubine Duanrong sighed softly, and her beautiful face showed a look of loss. She said softly, "Sister, please move to my place for the next two days."
Queen Song's face was as white as frost, and her eyes were as clear as water. Her gaze was narrow and clear. She said in a cold voice, "This matter is not over yet. When Jia Ziyu enters the palace, I will have a good talk with him."
When that little fox takes control of the situation in the former dynasty, she will make Zhen Qing kneel down and beg for her forgiveness!
Concubine Duanrong nodded and said, "He can't take care of the affairs of the palace now."
Queen Song's expression faltered for a moment, and she quickly said, "He could at least talk to the King of Chu about it. Why did he have to make such a scene?"
Concubine Duanrong Xiu Li frowned and said softly, "After he enters the palace, we have to talk to him. If it doesn't work, I will go find the new emperor. Does he really disregard the family's reputation?"
Queen Song sighed quietly, took Concubine Duanrong's slender hand, and said softly, "Don't go looking for him, it's probably useless."
This matter only counts if the little fox has the final say.
At this moment, it can be said that the beautiful lady vented some of her resentment on Jia Heng.
Of course, to some extent, this is a correct attribution, after all, they are all Jia Heng's women...
