Chapter 333: Beautiful and Delicate Orphan Girl 12

"Jing is as bright as the sun, and Wen is as beautiful as brocade."

Gong Hao's comment about Situ Qian quickly spread.

"Shu Fei really doesn't let outsiders take away the wealth."

In the Imperial Garden, Situ Qian and Concubine Shu were talking and laughing while admiring the flowers, when a voice broke the silence.

"I, a commoner, pay my respects to Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine." Situ Qian bowed politely.

However, Defei pretended not to see it and looked straight at Shufei.

"Shufei is really generous." Defei said sarcastically.

"Yes, Sister Shufei is indeed generous. I, a concubine, could not do that..." Before Concubine Li finished her words, the people present understood.

"Oh? What did I do to deserve my sister's praise for my generosity?" Concubine Shu raised her chin slightly, full of pride.

Concubine Li is not stupid, so it is naturally impossible for her to bring things up.

"My sister's niece looks like a fairy. She is so beautiful. Have you promised her to someone? Is it time for good things to happen?" Concubine Li asked deliberately in a sarcastic tone.

"How dare you." Concubine Shu slapped Concubine Li in the face.

Concubine Li covered her face and was stunned, which shocked Concubine De beside her.

"Everyone knows that my niece is still in mourning. Are you provoking me?" Concubine Shu asked angrily.

Concubine Li covered her face and glared at Concubine Shu fiercely, then glared at Situ Qian angrily.

"Aunt." Situ Qian pulled Shufei's sleeve worriedly.

Concubine Shu patted Situ Qian's hand to indicate that everything was fine.

"Why are you making so much noise here and disturbing the Empress Dowager from enjoying the flowers!" A majestic old lady came over.

"Madame Cui." Concubine Shu nodded to the visitor to show her respect.

After all, she is the maid that came with the current empress dowager's dowry, and the relationship between master and servant is deep.

Moreover, she has watched the current emperor grow up, so who wouldn't give her some face?

"Madam Cui, I didn't make any noise. It was Concubine Shu who started the fight first." Concubine Li said while looking at Concubine Shu angrily.

"Shu Fei has always been gentle and virtuous, why did she hit you?"

A yellow figure approached, supported by a palace maid.

"Your humble servant pays homage to the Queen Mother." Everyone said in unison.

Concubine Li's face turned pale, and she was speechless after being asked by the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty, I understand clearly that it is wrong for me to hit someone, but I really cannot bear it any longer."

As she said this, Concubine Shu burst into tears in front of everyone.

"My poor niece is helpless. When I brought her here, she was chased by thieves. If it weren't for Prince Chen, my poor niece would probably..."

"The child was stabbed. I felt guilty towards my deceased brother, but Concubine Li was so rude."

"She knew that my poor niece was still in mourning, but she deliberately rubbed salt into my niece's wounds, saying that since she was promised, good things would come soon."

Shufei held the handkerchief and cried very sadly.

Situ Qian's eyes turned red, tears welling up in her eyes. "Auntie..."

"Please forgive me, Queen Dowager... Aunt is just protecting the younger generation, please calm down, Queen Dowager." Situ Qian knelt down straight.

The Queen Mother looked at Situ Qian seriously and nodded secretly in her heart.

The Queen Mother stepped forward and personally helped Situ Qian up. "Good boy, get up quickly."

"This is not your or Shufei's fault." The Queen Mother gently patted the back of Situ Qian's hand to comfort her.

Turning around, the Queen Mother looked at Concubine Li sternly. "Concubine Li's words and actions are inappropriate. You are under house arrest for a month."

"Empress Dowager?!" Concubine Li widened her eyes in disbelief.

But he just dared not speak out.

Concubine De lowered her head like a quail, not daring to say a word.

"Is your injury better?" asked the Queen Mother.

Situ Qian was stunned for a moment. "Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. I am feeling better now."

"That's good. I have to listen to Xiao'er talking about your injury every day."

Situ Qian's face immediately turned red, and she was a little nervous. "Queen Mother..."

"Come on, accompany me for a walk?" the Queen Mother said with a smile.

Situ Qian turned her head to look at Concubine Shu, and only responded after getting Concubine Shu's approval.

Concubine De was stunned. Was this just a misunderstanding?

It turns out that it was not with the emperor, but with the emperor's younger brother...

Although Concubine Shu had a smile on her face, she was actually very worried.

Qian'er and Gong Xiao...

In the Yangxin Palace, Gong Hao waved his hand and swept away the memorials on the table.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." The eunuch next to him immediately knelt down.

"My queen mother is still so partial. She wanted to give the throne to Gong Xiao, and now she wants to take away the woman I like and give her to him!" Gong Hao was extremely angry.

"Everything I want can only belong to me!"

On the other hand, Situ Qian was heavy-hearted after accompanying the Queen Mother to visit the Imperial Garden.

Situ Qian returned to her own bedroom, recalling that the Queen Mother's words implied that she was not qualified to be the principal wife.

Haha, she doesn’t want the position of concubine.

Let her be a concubine? Then she will marry someone else.

Gong Xiao, who was cheated by his own mother, knew nothing about it.

The next day, Concubine Shu came to inquire about the relationship between Situ Qian and Gong Xiao.

Situ Qian's eyes were red. "Aunt, back then, grandfather asked you to enter the palace to pave the way for father. Father felt guilty but could do nothing about it."

"So my father set down the rules after he took over the family."

"The daughter of the Situ family will never be a concubine."

Shufei left with red eyes and returned to her bedroom crying loudly.

She was unwilling to enter the palace that year, but she had no choice but to obey the arrangements regarding her marriage.

Did she complain? Yes, she did.

"Mammy, my brother has always treated me the same way." Concubine Shu burst into tears.

The nanny sighed and wiped away the tears of Concubine Shu.
