Chapter 004 Fatherly Love
ah?
Concubine Rou felt as if her heart was hit by a sledgehammer.
This, this is not right!
Why did Su Qingqing react like this?
Doesn’t she care about Shen Ye the most and her dearest love?
Is this... a serious crime?
Concubine Rou looked at Su Qingqing in confusion, while Su Qingqing raised her chin slightly, "After all, Concubine Rou is my elder. If someone is disrespectful to me, you shouldn't sit back and watch. You should know the palace rules better than I do."
After saying that, Su Qingqing crossed her arms and said: I am optimistic about you~
Concubine Rou: ...
My heart skipped a beat and I suddenly felt like I had stepped into a fire pit.
Su Qingqing turned to Jixiang and said, "Go and see why the Duke of Zhenguo and the people from the Shen family haven't arrived yet. If they have excusable circumstances, then forget it. But if they didn't show up on purpose, that's probably another serious crime."
After saying that, Su Qingqing looked at Concubine Rou, "Isn't that right, Madam?"
Concubine Rou: ...
Her heart skipped a beat again. She had intercepted Su Qingqing's man.
Concubine Rou is not afraid of Su Qingqing alone. No matter how much the emperor favors Su Qingqing, he will not fail to give face to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
But if Su Qingqing insisted on this crime of disrespect...
Now, Concubine Rou didn't know whether Su Qingqing was heartbroken by Shen Ye and wanted to vent her anger, or whether she really turned against him.
Glancing at Shen Ye, Concubine Rou said softly to Su Qingqing, "Princess, calm down. I'll ask them to apologize to you. It's just a few words of bickering, but it's worth alarming the court officials. Isn't this embarrassing for His Majesty?"
Su Qingqing looked at Concubine Rou coldly, "Why are you embarrassed?"
Concubine Rou: ...
"Your Majesty loves the princess and will definitely protect her, but for His Majesty to punish them both just because of a few words of bickering, isn't that chilling?"
Su Qingqing raised her eyebrows, "You have a point. We should not let people feel cold just because of a few words."
Concubine Rou was delighted and gave Dou Ziruo a look, asking her to come forward and apologize.
Dou Ziruo was about to raise her foot when Su Qingqing said, "However, as Concubine Rou who has been in the palace for many years, do you really think that a courtier's daughter, a courtier, calling me by my name is just a quarrel ? If you say so, I will admit that it is a quarrel."
Concubine Rou: ...
Addressing the legitimate princess by her name is certainly not an argument!
Can……
What should she say now?
Admit that this was a quarrel? If Su Qingqing reported it to the emperor, he would be furious.
Denying that this was a quarrel? She had already said it.
After spending so many years in the palace, this was the first time Concubine Rou felt embarrassed to speak.
Shen Ye stood aside, looking at Su Qingqing coldly.
"Princess, please stop making a fuss. This matter was all caused by me. If you are angry, just come at me. Why make things difficult for Concubine Rou?"
I look like I am very responsible.
Su Qingqing looked at him and smiled, "You? You are nothing!"
Shen Ye's face suddenly froze.
He said this to Su Qingqing repeatedly.
Now, Su Qingqing returned it to him word for word, this feeling...
"Princess, do you really want to..."
Su Qingqing interrupted Shen Ye impatiently, "Based on your status, if I hadn't always respected you, you wouldn't have the qualifications to talk to me."
Shen Ye: ...
My heart felt like it was hit by a wooden board nailed with silver needles.
Dou Ziruo looked at this and became completely panicked.
What the hell has possessed Su Qingqing?
He became so heartless all of a sudden.
If Su Qingqing insisted on punishing her, she would definitely suffer. Moreover, even if Shen Ye was willing to marry her, the Shen family might not agree after such an incident. Even if she reluctantly married him, her life would be...
Moreover, her reputation of being pregnant before marriage might spread.
Dou Ziruo shuddered, feeling an unprecedented sense of uneasiness in her heart.
Concubine Rou is all her hope.
"Aunt..." Dou Ziruo said timidly.
Without waiting for Concubine Rou to speak, Su Qingqing said, "You shut up too. He is not qualified, and neither are you. We did not ask any questions in front of this palace and Concubine Rou. Who gave you the courage to speak?"
The general was already extremely imposing when he was angry, and at this moment, Su Qingqing was using Princess Rongyang's body, so although the anger was somewhat mitigated by her tenderness, his aura was still not ordinary.
Dou Ziruo turned pale with fright.
Although Shen Ye felt sorry for Dou Ziruo, he didn't say a word at this time, nor did he walk up to Dou Ziruo arrogantly.
Dou Ziruo stood there shivering, stroking her belly with her hand.
When Concubine Rou saw her action, her expression became even uglier.
At this moment, a palace servant came in hurriedly, walked a few steps to Su Qingqing's side, and glanced at Concubine Rou.
This sight made Concubine Rou tremble with fear.
"Your Highness, the palace servants sent by Your Highness to invite the Duke of Zhenguo and the Lord of the Shen family were stopped by Concubine Rou."
With just one sentence, Concubine Rou's heart almost jumped out of her throat.
Su Qingqing tilted her head and looked at her. There was murderous intent in her cold eyes. This kind of murderous intent was the first time that Concubine Rou had seen it, and she couldn't help but shudder in her heart.
"No, Princess, please listen to my explanation."
Subconsciously, Concubine Rou lowered her attitude. By the time she realized her tone and felt annoyed, it was too late.
Su Qingqing snorted, "I'm listening."
After he finished speaking, he turned and ordered the palace servants, "Go and invite the emperor father."
Concubine Rou's face suddenly changed, Dou Ziruo was so scared that she almost peed her pants, and Shen Ye looked at Su Qingqing with a grim face and clenched his fists.
"I agree to marry the princess."
As soon as Shen Ye opened his mouth, Concubine Rou and Dou Ziruo immediately looked at him and breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing this self-righteous and humiliating remark, Su Qingqing immediately laughed, "How dare you!"
Shen Ye raised his eyes and looked at Su Qingqing.
He has already made such a concession, but this woman is still so ungrateful!
"What exactly do you want?" Shen Ye felt that his patience was exhausted.
Su Qingqing was too lazy to pay attention to him. She turned around and sat down. "Empress Rou, please do as you please. I will wait for my father to come. This time, Empress Rou will not stop my father."
Concubine Rou's hand holding the handkerchief trembled.
She had never felt Su Qingqing was so scary.
Compared to the Duke of Zhenguo and the head of the Shen family who were late in arriving, the Emperor arrived very quickly.
The chief eunuch followed the emperor and felt that he could not keep up with the pace.
Isn't it just that Princess Rongyang suddenly came to her senses and doesn't plan to marry Shen Ye anymore? Look how excited the Emperor is, even more excited than when he ascended the throne.
The emperor gave the chief eunuch a sidelong glance and said, "You know shit!"
If a daughter is eager to marry someone else, the father will be happy.
He was well aware of the injustices Rong Yang had suffered over the years, but Rong Yang's heart was with Shen Ye, and he couldn't punish him for anything.
Not to mention punishment, even a few harsh words would make Su Qingqing cry for a long time in front of him and even refuse to eat out of spite.
This made Shen Ye's father Shen Ze even bolder!
It's ok now!
As a father, I can finally vent my daughter's anger.
How could the emperor not be excited!
Chief Eunuch: ...
The emperor arrived at a very fast speed, so fast that before Concubine Rou could react, he was already standing in front of her.
Looking at the bright yellow robe, Concubine Rou felt dazzled and bowed slightly.
The emperor pretended to know nothing, glanced at Concubine Rou, and looked at his precious daughter, "What happened? Why are you calling me here so urgently?"
The strong feeling of father's love came over her, and Su Qingqing's heart suddenly felt warm.
