PFC Chapter 443: Not Just a Laugh
Chapter 443: Not Just a Laugh
In the backyard of Prince Rui's mansion, the concubines were saddened by the arrival of a powerful rival.
Yin Ruyi, who was unwilling to give up, also sent her maid Binghua to find out the news.
"Concubine Yin, the prince has indeed been staying in the Chrysanthemum Garden and has not come out."
Binghua just reported a few words about the news she had found out.
Then I heard Linghua's voice coming from outside the door, neither loud nor soft.
"Concubine Yin, Concubine Li sent someone to ask you to hand over the master's card and key."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yin became furious. She quickly took out a brocade box from the inner room, opened the door sharply and threw it out like crazy.
With a cry of pain, the brocade box hit the head of the old woman sent by Concubine Li.
"roll!"
A roar,
The door closed with a bang.
The frightened old woman picked up the cards and keys scattered on the ground, and crawled out of the Orchid Garden without daring to say a word.
Concubine Yin was so angry that she locked herself in the room and never came out.

The next day,
Concubine Xiao was also not far behind in the news. She tossed and turned in excitement all night.
As soon as he opened his eyes, a light bulb went off in his head. He took the button off his neck, rubbed it back and forth in his hands, and said,
"Kouxian, I want to vent my anger today, you must help me."
The voice of the button fairy came out from the button.
"Ruyue, just tell me what you are angry about."
The Button Fairy caused the crown prince to be deposed and exiled, and Concubine Xiao was so excited that she praised her to the point of almost going to heaven.
He was so excited that he listened to what Concubine Xiao wanted to help with, and after thinking for a moment, he agreed.
"Okay, today you do this and that."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!"
Concubine Xiao said several good words happily.
The voice was so gentle that it seemed as if the mouth was touching the buttons, making the Button Fairy even more excited.
His clear voice sounded like a promise.
"Don't worry, Ruyue, I will make sure everything goes well."
"really?"
"Yeah, sure!"
After getting the guarantee from the Button Fairy, Concubine Xiao gave the button a kiss.
Huang Daxian, who was watching her every move in the mirror, was excited and hurried to meet the kiss. Unfortunately, before he touched the button of the mirror, Concubine Xiao's kiss had already fallen.
Although disappointed, Button Fairy still imitated her and blew a kiss back.

Concubine Xiao was in a happy mood and walked out of the inner room as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
She suddenly got up very early that day, which was unprecedented, and scared Qiushi, the palace maid on duty.
"My lady? Why did you get up so early today?"
"Well, today I will go to Kunning Palace to pay my respects."
"Ah? Yes, yes. I will ask them to come and serve you."
Qiushi hurried out to call for people to prepare for Concubine Xiao to wash up!
After washing,
Concubine Xiao sat on the stool at the dressing table and gave instructions to the two palace maids, Chunhua and Qiushi.
"Dress up nicely for me. Today is the first day that the Queen is released from house arrest. I want to go there looking beautiful."
When Aunt Yao heard this, she was surprised and said,
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Queen has been crying all day and all night since yesterday morning.
You are not feeling well again. Why go to such an unlucky place and bring bad luck upon yourself?"
Concubine Xiao didn't care and said proudly,
"Nanny, you don't understand. It's more interesting to come over at this time!
Her son has seized the crown prince position from my son for more than twenty years!
Hehe, this day is gone just like that. It is inevitable that she is sad and upset.
I have finally waited for this day!
Why should I be happy alone?
I have to go and comfort her, right?! Okay, I won’t say any more. Hurry up and dress me up.”
"Yes. Your Majesty."
After a while, Concubine Xiao looked at her outfit with satisfaction and said to the two palace maids,
"You two follow. Remember, I can't wait any longer! We are going to put on a show today. Be smart. Don't let her hurt me."
*
When Aunt Yao heard this, she realized that Concubine Xiao was not just going there to pay respects and watch the joke, but was going to stir up trouble. She disagreed and said,
"My Lady, the Crown Prince was deposed and banished to the northern border yesterday. Why are you in such a hurry? There is still a long way to go!"
Concubine Xiao stood up and said with a sinister smile,
"Why should I care? As long as she occupies that position, I will not feel at ease. Let's go."
After saying this, he took the hands of two senior palace maids and walked out slowly.
The sedan chair was already waiting at the door.
Concubine Xiao went to Kunning Palace in a grand manner as if she was given a shot of chicken blood.

Kunning Palace,
Because the crown prince was deposed and exiled, Queen Qin, who was released from house arrest today, did not want to visit her morning and evening. However, she did not expect that before she even gave any notice, all the concubines in the harem were already waiting outside the palace gate.
In the inner temple,
Queen Qin said hoarsely to Madam Liu with red and swollen eyes,
"Madam Liu, go and chase them all away. I won't see you today."
Madam Liu paused and advised in a low voice,
"Empress, if you don't see them, who knows how these women will frame you. Why bother giving in to their wishes?"
Miaoyin also angrily advised,
"That's right! Queen, we can't hide from them even if we hide from them on the first day. We are not afraid of them."
"If you can't speak, go away."
Qiaoyin pulled Miaoyin hard and scolded her.
Miaoyin realized she had said the wrong thing after she finished speaking. She wanted to explain but looked at the Queen's weeping expression, swallowed her saliva, and quietly took a few steps back.
Aunt Qiaoyin hurried forward and said,
"Madam, what Madam Liu said is right. Although Miaoyin's metaphor is wrong, the meaning is right. We are not afraid of them.
You are sad today because the prince left! Why should we hide? As a mother who loves her son, you should admit it openly. "
Queen Qin took Qiaoyin's words to heart. She sighed and said,
"Let them in!"
"Well, I'll go and pass it on."
After Qiaoyin left, not long after, more than twenty concubines of high rank came in one after another, and all knelt down and saluted Queen Qin on the phoenix throne.
"I send my regards to the Queen."
"May the Queen be blessed with happiness and peace of mind."
One voice is higher than another,
Queen Qin said softly,
"Stand up! You guys are so thoughtful! Sit down!"
"Thank you, Queen, for the seat."
The concubines sat in their corresponding seats according to their positions.
Everyone looked at Queen Qin's red and swollen eyes and were so frightened that they dared not speak for a moment. Some of those who came to watch the fun also hid their intentions.
*
at this time,
The most senior Consort De spoke out with concern first.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself! I know what happened in the previous dynasty, and we women in the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics.
However, no matter what happened, you, the Queen, have to think it through! Didn't the Emperor also say that if the Crown Prince can find evidence to prove his innocence, the Emperor will reconsider it, right? "
Queen Qin smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
"De Fei is so thoughtful! My son was deposed as the Crown Prince without even a chance to defend himself."
At this point, Queen Qin's voice choked and she couldn't continue!
