Imperial Concubine Jing took off his big hat, causing all the girls to burst into an uproar.
Mo Qingyan's figure that was standing at the same place also paused for a bit, after which he cast his gaze towards Imperial Concubine Jing.
She actually hated him that much? He actually wanted to put himself to death. The hatred in Mo Qingyan's eyes surged, especially when he thought about how he still had an unborn child in his previous life, who was killed by Imperial Concubine Jing and Chu Rou's conspiracy.
She didn't even have the time to notice its existence. When she opened her eyes, the two of them had already poured out a bowl of Fallen Embryo Medicine.
Chu Rou did not expect the Imperial Concubine Jing to say this about Mo Qingyan. He was stunned for a moment before the corner of his mouth raised up in joy.
Just now, when the emperor bestowed a seat to Mo Qingyan, he had actually arranged it to be placed around him, which made Chu Rouxin feel extremely dissatisfied. He did not expect the Imperial Concubine Jing to speak up before he could make a move.
This was good as well. He only needed to observe the flames from the other side of the river and rest up. Chu Rou looked at Mo Qingyan with a sinister and gloating gaze.
"Imperial Concubine Jing! Everyone present knew what Qingyan was saying right now. How can we not reason, and say that Qingyan was the one who cheated the monarch! "
Long Sheng never thought that the Imperial Concubine Jing would actually embarrass him in front of everyone. Even though he had believed in Mo Qingyan, the Imperial Concubine Jing just had to jump out and say that Mo Qingyan was deceiving the monarch.
Wasn't this disguised accusation that he was blind?
Long Sheng thought as his face turned ugly. She looked at Imperial Concubine Jing with a hint of warning, but the latter was immersed in punishing Mo Qingyan.
"Your Majesty, this concubine is not denying the fact that Mo Qingyan was sick a while ago. However, it had been a long time since he had last recovered. No matter how serious his illness was, it should be over by now. "Why do you still refuse to dance?"
Imperial Concubine Jing did not have the time to watch the Emperor's actions. She had always held a grudge. Last time in the Imperial Palace, Mo Qingyan had not left the slightest bit of face for himself.
Before the banquet, Imperial Concubine Jing originally wanted to properly teach Mo Qingyan the rules, but he never expected to be disturbed by Long Sheng's sudden arrival, and could only give up.
Now, he finally found an opportunity. Imperial Concubine Jing would not let Mo Qingyan escape punishment so easily. She was very excited now, and even her eyes shone with malice.
When Long Sheng tilted his face to look at her, he could clearly see the expression on her face.
Long Sheng was furious in his heart, Mo Qingyan had not even entered the palace, and the Imperial Concubine Jing had already made things difficult for her.
"Imperial Concubine Jing!" Long Sheng's voice suddenly rose higher, causing the Imperial Concubine Jing beside him to tremble in fear.
"Your Majesty! Your concubine has acted immodestly, please forgive my apologies Your Majesty. "
At this time, the Imperial Concubine Jing finally realised what she had done. She hurriedly knelt down to apologize to Long Sheng with the support of a servant.
"Since you know you've made a mistake, you must be punished. Go back to your palace and close your eyes for five days. You must not go out unless it's an edict! "
Long Sheng looked at Imperial Concubine Jing in disgust. As expected, he was born of a low status, and had quite a bit of a difference in treatment of others. Even Long Sheng was worried about the child in her womb.
Looks like he had to make his own decisions regarding some matters. The child in Imperial Concubine Jing's womb must not be left for her to raise!
"Your Majesty!" The Imperial Concubine Jing looked up at Long Sheng with disbelief. She did not expect that Long Sheng would actually have to restrict her cultivation because of this matter, and in her heart, she felt even more hatred towards Mo Qingyan.
"What, is Imperial Concubine Jing dissatisfied with our arrangement?" Long Sheng looked at Imperial Concubine Jing, and the threat in his eyes became clear. This time, Imperial Concubine Jing also saw everything clearly.
Imperial Concubine Jing didn't expect that he would be imprisoned in the palace even if he was pregnant. Even more so, he never thought that Long Sheng would actually punish him for the sake of protecting another woman.
"Chenqie knows her wrongs!" Chenqie will take her leave. " Knowing that it would not benefit him to continue the stalemate, Imperial Concubine Jing retreated.
This was something that Mo Qingyan had never expected. She thought that with Imperial Concubine Jing's character, no matter what, he would make a big fuss.
Now it would seem that she was somewhat worthy of this title, 'Jing'.
Mo Qingyan laughed playfully, as he did not participate in the entire farce. The Emperor had done everything for her.
Fortunately, Mo Qingyan knew that the emperor had other plans for him. Otherwise, he would be confused for a while.
"I am also tired today. Let's end the palace feast here."
Long Sheng did not have the mood to continue playing with the girls. He stood up and walked down.
"This subject's daughter is respectfully sending you off, your majesty!" The girls below all bowed towards Long Sheng.
"Mo Qingyan, we still have some things to teach you. Come with me! The rest of you can leave. " In terms of appearance, excluding Mo Qingyan, the only thing left was Chu Rou.
It was not that Long Sheng was uninterested in him, but the Prime Minister was not an easy person to control. If Chu Rou really entered the palace, Long Sheng was afraid that he would lose much of his authority in the palace in a hundred years.
Therefore, Long Sheng could only let Chu Rou go. On the other hand, Mo Qingyan was different.
Adding on the fact that Mo Qingyan's grandfather had military power, if he could bring Mo Qingyan into the palace, it would undoubtedly be a great help to him.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Mo Qingyan's heart was in a mess, she followed the emperor and walked slowly behind him. She wondered what Long Sheng was planning to do.
Long Sheng brought Mo Qingyan to the imperial study, with the Ah Nuo following closely behind. They were afraid that something would happen to the miss in this palace, so how could they explain it when they returned?
"Qingyan, don't be nervous. I called you here today just to ask. What exactly do you think about your engagement with the Ninth Prince? "
Long Sheng smiled extremely amiably, but Mo Qingyan and Ah Nuo both knew what kind of dirty thoughts he had under that smile. Mo Qingyan calmly stood up and knelt on the ground.
"In reply to the emperor, this subject does not dare to conceal anything from the emperor. This subject does not like Ninth Prince, the rumors were merely spread intentionally. "
"This subject's daughter has long been in the people and wants to please them. I hope that the Emperor can help us achieve our goal." Mo Qingyan did not wish for himself to just leave the den of tigers and enter the den of wolves.
He might as well invent a character to make Long Sheng lose this pair of heart. As expected, Long Sheng's expression became a bit ugly. He did not expect that Mo Qingyan had long ago found a person he liked.
"How can a man of the people be better than someone of the royal family?" Long Sheng had indeed wanted to rescind the engagement between Mo Qingyan and him, but he had also never thought of bestowing Mo Qingyan the marriage to another.
"Your Majesty, this subject's daughter has always yearned for a couple for a lifetime. I hope that the Emperor can grant my daughter your wish! "
