Chapter 422 Yunqi's Performance
The banquet in Linde Hall continued. The atmosphere was pretty good with singing and dancing.
The little prince went to sleep. If you missed today's video, you will have to watch it later.
In the back hall, Concubine Meng Hui went to watch over her son personally. No matter how big the event was today, even if she had contributed a lot to the birthday banquet, she didn't want to take credit for it anyway, and just wanted to be with her son in peace.
The concubines in the palace did not dare to make any trouble today, especially since Princess Yongqing was killed and Princess Le'an's granddaughter was killed. Most concubines in the palace really don't know how long their lives are, and they may even implicate their entire family, or have an excuse to quit today if their entire family is implicated.
Concubine Meng Hui just wanted some peace and quiet, although the peace and quiet was only temporary. Today the little prince had made a big splash, and there would be more trouble in the future, but when he grows up and has the ability, he will make less trouble. It is abnormal to make trouble.
Some thieves tried every means to weaken Chen Qi, and those who were able to suppress them were killed, such as the King of Wei, so that they dared not say a word.
The maid came over and whispered, "Princess Yongjia's granddaughter is crying."
Concubine Meng Hui didn't understand: "What do you want to do?"
The maid said in a more silent voice: "She said she wanted to see the little prince."
Concubine Meng Hui called a young eunuch and said, "Go and tell His Majesty."
The young eunuch ran away. I just learned from Nankang Hou that if there is any problem, I will ask the emperor to solve it.
The maids stood aside and said nothing. In fact, Princess Yongjia wanted to give in, but why would Concubine Hui give in?
Concubine Meng Hui slowly came to her senses and her face turned dark.
The palace maids tacitly agreed that Princess Yongjia meant what she wanted, that she wanted to form an alliance and support the little prince.
Concubine Meng Hui didn't even want to sneer.
The young eunuch brought back the news: "His Majesty has issued an order to search and confiscate the residence of Princess Yongjia."
There was also a group of people who were making trouble there, thinking that the emperor's seven sisters were all going to die soon, or that the emperor had let his father down. The young eunuch saw that the prince of Wei had started to kill again, and those who had been killed were so angry that they fainted and dared not make trouble again.
Another young eunuch came over and replied: "Grand Princess Le'an is so angry that she is dead."
Concubine Meng Hui was surprised and asked, "Are you really angry to death?"
The young eunuch replied in a low voice: "The imperial physician confirmed it. Prince Wei asked someone to send it back immediately."
Concubine Meng Hui understood that the emperor was the most important, and the birthday banquet continued. She thought that she could do nothing because she was the emperor's sister or elder. She gave some face when nothing happened, but now there are a group of people cursing the emperor to death, how can she indulge them? If Concubine Meng Hui had the ability, she would kill a group of them. The little prince was less than a year old and was sleeping soundly.
Several young eunuchs were guarding diligently on the side. Some things would be discussed after the little prince grew up.
Clean up the main hall.
The eldest princess of Shen State was fine. She knew that some people looked down on her, but she didn't care at all, as long as the ancestor was fine.
Princess Yongle was like an only child, trembling with fear, but also very relieved. As long as she didn't seek death, the emperor would dote on her.
Old Mrs. Qiu and her granddaughter Nini squeezed in the back, looking exceptionally calm.
Yunqi had not wanted to come, not at all, but all parties asked her to come and see the world. Yunqi came, after all, she was different from Yuanbao, she really needed to see the world, so as not to be a drag in the Meng family in the future.
Yunqi is about to marry into the Meng family and is attracting a lot of attention. Some people want to see how she performs, some think she doesn't look that good, and some are jealous.
The Meng family is very popular now, and there are countless people who want to marry Meng Dan.
A county lady excitedly rushed to the emperor and shouted, "The eldest daughter of the Yun family wants to celebrate the birthday."
The emperor issued an edict: "For such an uneducated person, both he and his parents shall be demoted to commoners and expelled."
Prince Xin did not dare to say anything. The emperor was watching him. As long as he did nothing, the emperor could not touch him. Prince Xin had many granddaughters, and this granddaughter was making noises every day, so Prince Xin was actually annoyed.
Yun Qi sat there without moving, thinking about something. It is said that Prince Xin did not support the young prince, so why did his granddaughter want to marry Meng Dan? Because Meng Dan is indeed very popular now, and he is expected to be good in the future. So there is a deviation. Another problem is that Prince Xin has too many children and grandchildren to manage. Every family probably has this problem.
The wife of Prince Xin was unwilling to accept this and asked Yunqi, "Young lady, you didn't say a word?"
Yun Qi stood up and responded, "Because she is the granddaughter of Prince Xin, even if she is uneducated, others are also wrong? You stepped on someone because they hurt your foot? What makes you so noble?"
The emperor issued an order: "Prince Xin is demoted to a commoner and expelled."
The Crown Prince’s wife was very old and her face turned pale on the spot.
The Princess of Shen said, "I thought you were thick-skinned enough. As a member of the royal family, you have no kindness or humility. You can ask others for an explanation for your niece's ill-mannered behavior. You have taken bullying to the extreme."
Prince Xin still remained silent.
The emperor didn't say anything about him either.
Yunqi stepped forward, knelt before the emperor and said, "I dare to do it."
The emperor was very polite to her: "No need to be polite, just tell me, I am quite interested."
Yun Qi stood up, with a very dignified demeanor, and said without much emotion: "I think that no matter it is a family or a country, if there are too many people, there will be chaos. So rules and laws are the most important. We must never fool around with anything. The upper class should follow suit, and the lower class will be crooked if the upper beam is not straight. The higher you are, the more cautious you should be. Only by observing the rules can you enjoy happiness forever. The world is the most fair, and everything has a price. Whether you are born a prince or a commoner, the most precious thing for a commoner is life, so you should cherish it; the most precious thing for a prince is life, so you should cherish it even more. A prince should devote himself to the country, so he can enjoy the dignity of the country."
Yunqi was led astray by Yuanbao. She talked nonsense, kowtowed, and that was it.
The emperor was very satisfied: "You deserve the honor for your hard work. It's fair. The wife of the Marquis of Nankang has been well educated, so I reward her with a jade ruyi."
Old Lady Qiu hurried forward to thank him. No matter how many people Nini offended by saying this, the emperor loved to hear it.
Princess An of Qi couldn't help but say, "How can a prince be compared with a commoner?"
The emperor issued a cruel decree: "An Shi is demoted to a commoner and expelled."
Chen Jie hurried out and knelt down.
The emperor said, "I thought you had made some progress, but it seems you haven't made any progress at all. Common people can still support themselves, but what have you done? Do you want me to settle accounts with you?"
Prince Wei stood in front of Chen Jie and lectured him: "As a son, you are so unfilial and yet you still have the audacity to live. Are you here to collect a debt from the emperor? Does the royal family have a grudge against you? You have been eyeing that position all day, and you feel that your own father is an eyesore to you, and you are an eyesore to me, do you understand?"
Prince Wei did not take action, but he used his spiritual sense to kill Chen Jie with cold murderous intent.
Chen Jie fell to the ground, rolling and crawling, vomiting blood.
Some people were ready to make a move, but did not dare to say anything.
King Wei glanced at them.
A few timid ones wanted to hide under the table.
Prince Wei stared at Chen Jie and lectured him, "Before there was a crown prince, you watched him all day long. After he forced the emperor to abdicate, he didn't kill you. That was the greatest kindness of a monarch and father, but you didn't cherish it! How shameless of you to watch him all day long!"
Chen Jie fainted and lost half his life.
King Wei looked at them again and said coldly, "It's just a worthless life. If you don't respect yourself, you are not noble at all."
