Chapter 87 - Concubine De's Anger

Xie Jingyu came striding in.

 The maids saluted and served him fresh tea.

"Husband seems to be in a good mood." Yun Chou looked at him, "But something good happened?"

Xie Jingyu drank half a cup of tea and a smile appeared on his face, "Sister Ping's dowry is almost ready."

Yunchu smiled back, "I knew there would be no problem leaving this matter to my husband, I'll tell Ping Sister Er the good news later."

"There is also good news." Xie Jingyu's smile deepened, "The Emperor ordered a new thorough investigation into the matter of the Crown Prince's serious illness, and with King Anjing cleared of the stigma, he will be able to return to the capital tomorrow."

Although not many people knew about King An Jing being punished to Qing An Temple, it was always a bad thing.

Originally, he was worried that the Emperor would abolish the title of King Anjing, but now it seems that he really overthought it.

After Ping'er and King Anjing's wedding in three months, their Xie family would be a proper royal in-law.

 If Marquis Xuanwu wanted to embarrass him again, there was no chance of that.

 The smile on his face was prevalent, but he saw Yun Chou's brows slowly furrow.

He knew that Yunchu was the number one beauty in the capital, he never knew that she was even this beautiful when she was sad.

But now was not the time to admire the beauty as he spoke, "Is there something wrong, ma'am?"

Yun Chu shook her head, "King An Jing can clear his name, this may be a good thing for himself, for our Xie family ..."

 When the words were out of her mouth, she didn't continue.

 But Xie Jingyu was a smart man, how could he not understand.

The reason why their Xie family was able to calculate to the position of the crown princess was because King An Jing was punished for making a mistake and didn't dare to make a big deal out of it, so the Xie family was able to take advantage of the loophole.

"No matter what, the matter has come to this." Xie Jingyu's brows also took on a hint of hidden worry, "And it's the Emperor himself who gave the marriage, so can Lady De still back out of it."

Yunchu opened her mouth, "The imperial order is like a mountain, De Fei naturally won't back out, only, Ping Sister Er is afraid of ..."

Xie Jingyu's face was light: "This is the path she chose for herself, even if it's on her knees, she must go on."

As expected by Yunchu, on the morning of the second day, Sister Tang from Consort De's palace came to Xie's house to invite Xie Ping to the palace.

Xie Jingyu once again to Yunchu convinced, he this lady, as if every step is calculated, Xie family has Yunchu, why worry about difficult to get to the clouds ...

 Xie Ping followed Sister Tang and Sister Fu into the palace.

Remembering the rules taught by Sister Fu, she bowed her head slightly and walked carefully, trying her best not to have the hem of her skirt wobble in the slightest ...

 After a little more than half an hour, they finally walked to the Evergreen Palace where Consort De lived.

She walked up the steps and followed into the palace, performing a standard court etiquette, "My daughter greets Auntie De."

Not hearing Consort De's voice saying that she was excused, she could only remain standing in such a position, and after about a tea's work, the pair of feet in her line of sight walked towards her, and then, stopped in front of her, and immediately after, her chin was pinched and lifted up by the fingers that wore the golden armor.

 The pointed gold armor poked into her flesh and she cringed in pain.

She was forced to raise her head and was confronted with a gorgeous face, even if she had never been in the palace before, she knew that this was Empress De.

"Eldest Miss Xie, you really have a lot of guts, you're even counting on this palace!"

 Princess Te violently shook her off.

 She was caught off guard and was thrown to the ground.

She didn't dare to get up, from lying down to kneeling on the ground, she opened her mouth and said, "Your Majesty, my daughter knows it's wrong, my daughter and the king are in love with each other, it's hard for them to help themselves, that's why they ... are in love with each other."

Hearing the four words, De Fei simply to explode with anger, lifting her foot to give Xie Ping a hard kick.

The Xie family was really good at calculating, not a little earlier, not a little later, and chose to pick this moment when Lao Si was punished to Qing An Temple, forcing her to agree to this matter.

If she had hesitated for a few more days, Lao Si would have been able to clear his name, how could he have been held by the Xie family to this extent.

 Xie Ping was kicked straight over.

She was only a thirteen year old girl, how could she resist such a kick, and she was a bit out of breath.

Concubine De coldly said, "The Xie family's eldest miss has offended this palace, Sister Fu, slap her mouth for this palace."

Sister Fu walked up, snapped, hands open, two dozen slaps down, Xie Ping's face swelled up.

 She almost fainted from the pain, and tears kept flowing down her face.

"Really bad luck." Concubine De's face was full of disgust, "Crying like this, is thinking that this palace has wronged you not, go and stand outside, come back in when you have figured it out."

Xie Ping could not stand at all, and was assisted and pushed by the palace maid to the entrance of the great hall of the Evergreen Palace.

There was alabaster everywhere, not a single tree, and the sun shone down brightly, making her eyes water.

It was morning when she arrived, but it was almost noon, and even if her stomach was empty, the sun was so big that it almost baked her.

 I don't know how long she stood there, but her head swam and she fell face downward.

The palace maid guarding the edge coldly picked her up, "Miss Xie, stand still, if you anger Concubine De, it won't be as simple as just punishing her."

Xie Ping felt that the palace maid's nails were almost pinched into her flesh, and she was numb from the pain.

 She wanted to cry so badly.

She didn't understand why she, a future crown princess, had to suffer such torture and humiliation.

 Why would a mere courtesan dare to do this to her.

If she had agreed to become King An Jing's side consort early on, as a side consort, I'm afraid she would have suffered even more brutal torture.

Just when she was in despair, she only saw, a long figure walk in at the entrance of the Evergreen Palace.

 She looked over and it was King Anjing.

 Her eyes burst into life, staring straight at the man walking towards her.

King An Jing's gaze only lingered on her for a short moment, his steps didn't even stop, he directly stepped up the steps and entered Consort De's palace.

He admitted that he had some interest in Miss Xie, but it was only a physical interest, and his willingness to take responsibility for her meant that he could take her as a concubine.

But she, the hearts do not know enough, to the position of side consort are not willing to, even forced his mother consort agreed to marry as the main consort.

Marrying the daughter of a fifth-ranked official's out-laws as his main consort, he was going to be the biggest joke in the entire capital.

Looking at the back of Anjing Wang indifference into the hall, Xie Ping face of despair a little overflowed ...

Once again, she was glad that she was the future royal consort, even if the king did not treat her well, he had to bring her to the palace banquet, and he had to have a first-born son with her ...

 Xie Ping stayed in the palace until late in the evening before being let go.

When the people up and down the Xie family saw that she didn't come back for a long time, they were all anxious and sent people to guard the door, and as soon as she entered, they brought her to Anshou Hall.

"Tian, what happened to your face ..." He was the first to exclaim out in shock, "Who, who hit your face, you're the future Anjing Wangfei, this is not giving face to Prince Anjing!"

 Xie Ping's nose turned sour and she snuggled into He's arms, bawling her eyes out.

 The old lady anxiously said, "Sister Ping'er, you haven't said who did this to you?"

 "Who else could it be?" Yun Chu's voice was extremely light, "Naturally, it's Empress De."
