Chapter 1059: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One Hundred and Eighty-one)
Being stared at by Zhao Jian, the eunuch quickly stood up and said in a terrified tone:
"Your Highness, I am here. You were not drunk before, you went into Qingning Pavilion to rest on your own. You still think I am in the way, so tell me to go to the Imperial Garden and not hang around in front of you. As for what happened in the pavilion, I really have no idea!"
"You dog slave, you are talking nonsense! Do you still want to live?" Zhao Jian scolded angrily.
Zhao Jian kicked him hard, but the eunuch ignored the pain and cried out for mercy: "I know I'm wrong, Your Highness, please spare my life!"
He Shi glanced at the trembling eunuch kneeling on the ground beside him, sighed, and ultimately did not speak to plead for him.
If what the eunuch said was true, Zhao Jian might have already turned from a chess player into a chess piece.
The emperor could no longer tolerate this and shouted angrily, "Zhao Jian, shut up! If you make any more noise, you will be sent to the cold palace for a few years!"
Geng Qianqian hurried out, but before she could even stand still, she heard the emperor's rebuke. The cold words frightened her so much that she took a few steps back and slipped.
"what!"
Her maid supported her in time, but she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. After a scream, the crowd around her dispersed instantly.
The female relatives and ministers all moved away, only Zhao Jian and the imperial physician went forward to meet him.
"Hurry, show her, you must save this prince's child!" This was the first time that Zhao Jian was so nervous about Geng Qianqian, although this nervousness mainly came from the fetus in her belly.
The emperor's original plan was disrupted by the disturbance caused by Zhao Jian and his wife.
The Ninth Princess's palace maid secretly glared at the couple, secretly cursing them for being in the way.
"Your Majesty, please grant the Ninth Princess and the Duke a marriage! Otherwise, how will the princess survive?" the palace maid cried.
"Miss Song, please be kind and give the Duke to the princess!" She cried and kowtowed, successfully shifting everyone's attention from the panicked prince and his wife to the Ninth Princess and the Duke.
Qingli looked at the man kowtowing on the ground, feeling only amusement in her heart, but a hint of sarcasm appeared on her face: "This eunuch is really strange. Do you want His Majesty's edict to become a piece of waste paper? How dare you challenge His Majesty's will?
In the eyes of you and the Ninth Princess, is the Duke just an object that can be passed around at will?
Saving people is out of kindness, but if saving people means being threatened and repaid with ingratitude, who would dare to go into the water to save people in the future? As a princess, you will never have to worry about getting married, so why would you worry about someone else's husband?
The palace maid was speechless after being questioned.
At this point, several ministers also nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty's words are golden, how can you change them overnight?"
"The emperor has granted me a marriage, so how can I regret it?"
Some even murmured quietly, "You can't use your status as a princess to separate lovers!"
"How could it be so easy to fall into the water when there is nothing wrong?"
"But the Ninth Princess's innocence has been damaged, so it seems inappropriate not to marry the Duke."
"Duke Wei can't follow the example of Ehuang and Nvying and marry two beauties into his palace. The daughter of the prime minister came first and came later, so there is no reason for her to be a concubine."
"It's even more impossible for a princess to become a concubine."
"Miss Song seems unyielding. If she doesn't want to break off the engagement, we can't force her."
"At this point, the Song family might as well take the initiative to cancel the engagement. Today's incident was clearly aimed at the Song family."
"The Ninth Princess's mother and brother...how can they compare to the Song family girl?"
"It's really hard to explain what happened at Qingning Pavilion just now!"
"It all depends on how the Duke expresses his opinion. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for His Majesty to handle it."
The emperor naturally knew that these ministers were discussing privately. Although the voices were too soft for him to hear clearly, he could guess that they were quite dissatisfied.
At this time, the Ninth Princess arrived in a sedan chair. She heard Qingli's words from afar and glared at Qingli fiercely. As soon as she got out of the sedan chair, she knelt on the ground and cried, asking the emperor to grant her a marriage, claiming that it was Wei Ying who saved her.
She cried, "Father, please grant me this marriage! Wei Ying saved me, and I will never forget his kindness. I am willing to repay his kindness with my own body! If I can't marry him, I will be ashamed to face the world!"
