Chapter 044 Acknowledgement
Yu Liang immediately looked terrified, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I... I am very happy with what I am wearing now, there is really no need to..."
As he spoke, his voice choked up.
His forehead rested on the ground, and his shoulders trembled slightly as he lay there.
The third young lady of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion frowned slightly, "Brother Crown Prince, what happened to him? He seems to have suffered a great injustice."
She addressed him as she always did and looked at Rong Que warmly.
This caused everyone to look at Su Qingqing and Rong Que. After all, before Su Qingqing came, the Third Young Lady was the one who was discussing marriage with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Su Qingqing stood there expressionlessly, waiting for her big melon.
Rong Que did not respond nor did he look at the Third Miss of the Rong'an Marquisate. He just said to Yu Liang, "I asked you to go to the palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, but why are you crying?"
Yu Liang sobbed a few times and stood up with his shoulders shaking. " I lost my temper. Please forgive me, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother looked at him in confusion, "What on earth is going on? Why is a man of your age crying like this?"
The third young lady of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion asked, "Did he get beaten up?"
The Queen Mother's face darkened immediately. "What nonsense are you talking about!"
The Third Miss of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion didn't seem to be afraid of the Queen Mother's anger. She pouted and looked innocent, "I am not talking nonsense. Look, Queen Mother, his sleeve is torn neatly, and there is blood on his arm. He is crying like this. If not, he must have been beaten."
After that, she said to Su Qingqing, "Sister Crown Princess, Butler Yu is an old man in the Crown Prince's house. Who wronged him?"
Su Qingqing smiled coquettishly at the Third Young Lady of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion, "It's me."
Everyone in the audience:!
No one expected that the story would take such a sudden turn.
The Queen Mother was stunned for a long time before she turned to Su Qingqing and asked, "Did he do something outrageous to make you angry?"
Su Qingqing smiled sweetly and said, "It's not that I committed treason, but I was scolded this morning."
The third young lady of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion immediately asked, "Could it be that because of the rumors outside, Housekeeper Yu was beaten by the Crown Princess just because he said a few words out of kindness?"
As soon as the Third Miss of the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion said this, Su Xiang's mother, Zhou, stepped forward and knelt down, "I beg the Queen Mother and the Empress to make the decision for me."
Everyone: ...
What's the good news here?
Rong Que looked at Su Qingqing, and Su Qingqing smiled at him: Let’s begin.
The third lady of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion originally wanted to see anger on Rong Que's face, but she only saw Rong Que and Su Qingqing looking at each other, and they were so angry that they gritted their teeth and clenched their fists.
Bitch!
The Queen Mother was furious, "I asked you to come to this flower viewing banquet to ask you to apologize to the Crown Princess, not to listen to you gossiping!"
Zhou cried aggrievedly, "Her Majesty the Queen Mother, please understand clearly. This morning, the news about the Crown Princess's night tour of the Broken Red Tower was widely circulated in and outside the palace. This is not a rumor, but a fact..."
Before Zhou could finish, the Queen slammed the table in anger, "How dare you! How can the Crown Princess allow you to slander her!"
Su Qingqing rolled her eyes in her heart. You acted so hard, don’t your hands hurt?
Zhou wiped her tears and said, "I dare not slander the Crown Princess. It is really...it is really that the person who accompanied the Crown Princess last night was my son."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar everywhere.
The Queen Mother looked at Su Qingqing in shock, "Is what she said true?"
Su Qingqing stared at Zhou with her eyes wide open. "Your son? You said Xishan General Su Xiang is your son?"
This is equivalent to acknowledging what Zhou said.
The discussion suddenly exploded.
The third young lady of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion sneered and said, "Sister Crown Princess is a princess of Zhao State. How could a princess like her want to visit Broken Red Tower at night? Is this some magical tradition of Zhao State? I am so ignorant!"
After saying that, he looked at Rong Que with a look of heartache and indignation, "Brother Crown Prince, do you also know that Sister Crown Princess went to the Broken Red Tower?"
Rong Que didn't look at her, but only at Su Qingqing, wanting to see what tricks this woman was playing.
There was no response to what she said, not even a glance from her. The Third Miss of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion felt aggrieved and embarrassed.
Su Qingqing raised her chin, "If her son is Su Xiang from the West Mountain Camp, then to answer the Imperial Grandmother's question, my granddaughter-in-law did drink with him in the Broken Red Tower last night."
Su Qingqing said it so frankly that the Queen Mother couldn't even reprimand her. She could only hold back her anger and ask, "Why?"
"Because I heard that the soldiers of the Great Yan Dynasty were good at Cuju, and I also heard that the Cuju played by the Xishan Camp was the best in the world, I was not convinced.
My Cuju is the best in the world!"
Everyone: What the hell?
Everyone present found it difficult to keep up with the pace of the Crown Princess.
Who knows what she is talking about?
Su Qingqing looked at the Queen Mother who was confused and continued with a smile: "I went to Suihonglou yesterday because I heard that General Su Xiang of Xishan Camp often went there, so I wanted to go there to inquire about his Cuju skills.
Unexpectedly, I met him in person!
General Su even invited me to the Xishan Camp to watch their soldiers play Cuju."
As she spoke, Su Qingqing looked at the Queen Mother with sparkling eyes, "Is it okay, Grandmother?"
Queen Mother: Ah?
Is it that my IQ suddenly isn’t enough?
Why is it that I know every word you said, but I don’t quite understand when you put them together into a paragraph!
Queen: You are not alone!
Everyone: We don’t quite understand either.
Rong Que immediately frowned and said, "Nonsense! It's ridiculous enough for a Crown Princess to go to a place like that. Why do you have to go to the military camp? That's a military stronghold, how can you go there!"
Rong Que lowered his voice and scolded softly, as if to save face for Su Qingqing.
After he finished speaking, Zhou cried, "Her Majesty the Queen Mother, it is not true. The fact is that the Crown Princess heard that my son is good at Cuju and insisted that my son show her in the Broken Red Tower.
The son disagreed, so the Crown Princess got him drunk...
The poor boy is still lying on the bed with bruises all over his body, unable to get up. His body is full of wounds from being kicked with a ball by the Crown Princess when he was drunk.
From the perspective of a woman like me, it really is…"
As she spoke, she turned around and kowtowed to Su Qingqing, "I don't know how my family has offended the queen. The queen actually attacked Yunyun first and then Xiang'er. If there is really something wrong with my family, I apologize to you and ask the Crown Princess to let it go! "
Su Qingqing looked at her with displeasure, "Is Su Yunyun also from your family? I admit what happened to Su Xiang, I did it, but I won't take the blame for Su Yunyun, she did something that hurt me and she should be punished."
The incident at the Cining Palace yesterday did not spread widely, and only a few people in the crowd knew about it.
Even if there were curious people who wanted to ask about it, no one dared to say anything because of the expressions of the Empress Dowager.
Su Qingqing finished speaking, and then snorted coldly, "However, I am a magnanimous person. If your son can beat me in Cuju, I may also plead for Su Yunyun in front of the Empress Dowager."
As soon as the incident happened yesterday, Su Yunyun's father Su Yunhe went to the second prince for help, and the second prince went to the queen for help.
Even though Su Yunyun was given a drug that might make her infertile for the rest of her life, the Second Prince still had her in his heart.
In addition, the Duke of Zhenguo also wanted to do Su Yunhe a favor and wanted to find a way to release Su Yunyun...
The Queen was worried about this matter, but she never expected to hear Su Qingqing say this.
The queen was about to speak in excitement, but was frightened by the queen mother's cold look and stopped talking.
