Chapter 003: Concubine Rou
Su Qingqing laughed.
"Even if you beg me on your knees, I will not marry you. Don't worry about it. I just want to hold you accountable for your disrespect!"
After saying that, Su Qingqing turned around and told a palace maid to "bring me a chair."
The palace maid agreed and carried out the order immediately.
Not only did they bring chairs, they even brought in a small table with snacks thoughtfully prepared on it.
It’s not that the palace servants are so considerate.
The truth was that their prince had been too servile and cowardly in front of Lord Shen before, and they felt suffocated.
Today, His Highness finally has the chance to show off his power, how could they not add fuel to the fire!
Su Qingqing sat , not looking at Shen Ye any more, "I won't say much to you, I'm waiting for the elders from your house to come."
After saying that, Su Qingqing picked up a small piece of cake and put it into her mouth. Hmm, it tasted good, so she picked up another piece.
Dou Ziruo panicked.
Su Qingqing, this idiot, suddenly started acting like a princess towards Shen Ye.
Whether it was her or Shen Ye, the way they treated Su Qingqing in the past was because they took advantage of Su Qingqing's love for Shen Ye.
But she is a princess after all, a legitimate princess, the apple of the emperor's eye.
If they really want to take the crime of disrespect seriously, they can only be punished.
Shen Ye had thought of what Dou Ziruo had thought of. Although he didn't understand why this idiot suddenly acted like this, when Dou Ziruo struggled to get off him, Shen Ye didn't stop her.
As soon as Dou Ziruo came down, she immediately walked towards Su Qingqing.
She cried with tears in her eyes, and she covered her stomach with one hand, "Your Highness, Lord Shen and I really did not mean to offend you. I just want to ask Your Highness to grant me the status of a concubine. If it displeases Your Highness, I..."
Before Dou Ziruo could finish her words, Su Qingqing threw a piece of cake in her hand at her.
Shen Ye subconsciously hugged Dou Ziruo, "What are you doing!"
He shouted angrily at Su Qingqing.
After scolding, he no longer felt as righteous as before. He even looked at Su Qingqing with a bit of fear.
The thrown pastry landed in front of Dou Ziruo's toes with a plop.
"I don't like any messy things approaching me. Stay away from me!" This time, it was Su Qingqing's turn to have disgust on her face.
Dou Ziruo clenched her fingers tightly.
Just as he was about to speak, Su Qingqing looked at him coldly, "Shut up, everyone. I don't want to listen to any noise. If you continue to speak, don't blame me for breaking the palace rules."
Dou Ziruo: ...
He stared at Su Qingqing with eyes wide open in disbelief.
She was sure that this person was not Su Qingqing at all.
How could Su Qingqing say such a thing? How could she change so much? How could it be possible!
Dou Ziruo opened her mouth and turned to look at Shen Ye.
Shen Ye was frowning and looking at Su Qingqing, but there was no hatred in his eyes that he was used to.
Dou Ziruo's heart skipped a beat and she immediately grabbed Shen Ye's sleeve.
Shen Ye retracted his gaze, lowered his head and looked at Dou Ziruo tenderly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Shen family were both outside the palace. It would take at least half an hour for the family members to arrive. Before Su Qingqing could wait for their family members to arrive, she waited for another person first.
Accompanied by a group of palace maids, Concubine Rou went straight to Su Qingqing's bedroom.
Dou Ziruo was her niece from her mother's side, so she naturally knew about what happened between Dou Ziruo and Su Qingqing.
Su Qingqing always suffered the loss, which really made her feel happy.
Although both are princesses, there is a huge difference between her Princess Qingyang and Su Qingqing's Princess Rongyang.
Why!
Just because Su Qingqing’s mother is the queen!
The emperor was praising Su Qingqing, but she wanted to see Su Qingqing being trampled underfoot by Shen Ye and Dou Ziruo.
But just now, she heard that Su Qingqing actually invited the Duke of Zhenguo and the head of the Shen family over, and was no longer as servile to Shen Ye as before, and even threatened to punish Dou Ziruo. Concubine Rou could no longer sit still.
How could that idiot Su Qingqing do such a thing!
Concubine Rou immediately sent people to intercept the people sent by Su Qingqing.
If we really let the Duke of Zhenguo and the head of the Shen family enter the palace, what would happen?
The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion has become a laughing stock in the entire capital!
"Empress Roufei is here!"
The eunuch reporting at the door shouted loudly, Dou Ziruo turned around immediately, and Su Qingqing looked over with narrowed eyes.
Looking at Concubine Rou approaching, Su Qingqing asked, "Who are you?"
Dou Ziruo burst into tears again and rushed towards Concubine Rou, waving her handkerchief, "Aunt!"
She called out "Auntie" with a trembling voice full of grievance.
Concubine Rou patted Dou Ziruo's back soothingly and looked at Su Qingqing.
"I don't know what the princess said to her, why she suffered such a great injustice."
Although it was a normal tone, Su Qingqing could still hear the implication of coming to call for punishment.
My mother is the queen, who do you think you are?
With a sneer , Su Qingqing looked at Concubine Rou coldly, "Who was it I thought? It turned out to be the aunt of this unmarried pregnant girl! Tsk~ It really is true, if they are not from the same family, they will not marry."
Concubine Rou's face suddenly turned dark.
Dou Ziruo, who was crying beside her, froze all over, looked up in fear at Concubine Rou.
In front of Su Qingqing, Concubine Rou was naturally not stupid enough to question her niece. She took a step forward and looked down at Su Qingqing.
"What on earth did Ziruo do to anger the princess? Princess, please be magnanimous and let her go."
The gentle tone and pleading words just sounded harsh .
Su Qingqing patted the cake crumbs on her hands and stood up.
She was slightly taller than Concubine Rou. This time, Su Qingqing looked down at Concubine Rou. In an almost interrogative tone, Su Qingqing asked again, "Are you teaching me a lesson? In what capacity? Concubine Rou? Or the aunt of an unmarried pregnant girl?"
The words "pregnant before marriage" were like a branding iron to Concubine Rou, burning her whole body.
Because she tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, Concubine Rou did not lose her temper on the spot.
This is the emperor's jewel in the crown, and she still knows her limits.
In the past, Su Qingqing was stupid, and if one wanted to deal with Su Qingqing, all one needed to do was to use the two words "Shen Ye".
For Shen Ye, she jumped into the lake when asked to do so, and knelt down when asked to do so.
But now...
Thinking about it, Concubine Rou glared at Shen Ye with anger in her eyes, "Master Shen, I didn't even know that Master Shen had such a skill. You are just a small official of the sixth rank, yet you dare to anger our Princess Rongyang. You are so bold!"
Since she couldn’t vent her anger on Su Qingqing, Concubine Rou chose Shen Ye.
With Su Qingqing's protective nature and her infatuation with Shen Ye, she would explode as long as Shen Ye suffered the slightest injustice.
As soon as Concubine Rou finished speaking, Shen Ye immediately clasped his fists and saluted, "I know my crime, but please understand, Your Majesty. I really don't want to marry Princess Rongyang. In my heart, there is only Ruoruo."
Concubine Rou looked at Su Qingqing with sneer in her eyes, waiting for Su Qingqing to explode.
Su Qingqing stood there with a look of "It's none of my business". When she saw Concubine Rou coming, she immediately said, "Are you making the decision for me? I don't know how these two people broke into my bedroom and called me by my name, Su Qingqing. If you make the decision for me, I will be very grateful."
Concubine Rou: ...
