Chapter 110 Punished
An hour later, the Queen Mother walked out of the Qinghe Hall, supported by the Queen.
The two are aunt and niece. They have a very close relationship and often talk about personal matters with each other.
"Mother, what do you think today?"
Away from Qinghe Hall, the Queen couldn't help but ask the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager has come to where she is today after having gone through the harem’s infighting and countless killings.
How could the Queen Mother not know what kind of personality her niece had?
She is not the smartest, nor does she have outstanding abilities, but she is studious, obedient and peaceful.
The greatest advantage of her niece is that she is self-aware and never self-righteous.
The Queen Mother did not dislike such a niece. If she was not smart, she could teach her. If she was not clever, she could give her some advice.
Over the years, she has also taught with all her heart.
"Which one are you asking about?"
The Queen waved a peony fan in her hand and gently handed the seal to the Queen Mother, saying with a smile: "Since all the people and things today..."
The Queen Mother said in a leisurely voice: "Let's talk about the eldest princess first. She has been strong all her life, but unfortunately, she gave birth to useless children.
He'an looks arrogant, but in fact she is a brainless person. The fact that she didn't even know that her own daughter was replaced is enough to show how confused she is.
As for the daughter she gave birth to, she seemed quite clear at first, but you see, it has only been a short time since she revealed her flaws.
It's not scary to jump up and down, what's scary is that her methods can't support her evil intentions. Look at her today, she looks like she's about to jump off the wall..."
The Queen Mother raised her hand and stroked her pale temples. It was hard to tell whether she was sighing or something else. "So what if she regained her status as a legitimate daughter? From this point of view alone, she is not as good as Yan Qingning."
The Queen Mother felt somewhat disgusted with Yan Xiwei.
Then he continued, "This Ning girl has impressed me. Through this incident, I found that she has the courage to face danger without fear and to rise to the challenge.
In this situation, she rescued Princess Jia, and this one move alone broke the deadlock."
The Queen was full of surprise. "I didn't expect that Mother would speak so highly of Ning. If she knew that you praised her so highly, I wonder how flattered she would be."
The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "I am not praising her at all. I am just discussing the matter at hand."
The Queen smiled and said, "So, mother still admires Ning."
"I might as well ask the Queen, if you were in Ning girl's shoes, what would you do if you encountered something like this today?" The Queen Mother did not wait for the Queen to answer.
To the point: "I dare to say that when I realized that I was being tricked by others.
Especially when it comes to Jia'er, whose life or death is unknown, in a hurry, even if you are the queen, you will instinctively choose to turn around and leave, away from the trouble."
"But if you just walk away, you won't be able to explain yourself clearly, and there will be witnesses and evidence waiting for you, and you won't be able to defend yourself.
But Yan Qingning didn't do that. Instead, she calmed down in the shortest possible time and made the most effective decision. Therefore, all the preparations Yan Xiwei made were in vain."
The Queen agreed with what she heard. "Mother, what you said makes sense. Ning's determination and courage, as well as her calmness and composure, are something that even I cannot achieve."
The Queen did not need to agree with the Queen Mother. She should ask herself, if she encountered such a thing, she would definitely find a way to clear her suspicion and prove her innocence while no one was around.
But in this way, she would have fallen into a trap set by others and would have been completely unable to explain herself.
Because there must be witnesses who can prove that Yan Qingning pushed Princess Jia into the water and then fled for fear of being punished.
"Ah..." The queen suddenly sighed.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly knew what the Queen was thinking.
With a serious face, he said: "You don't need to lower your status, you are not her, remember, one wrong step will put you in a passive position.
If you don't move, you'll be fine. If you move, you'll leave the other party powerless to fight back. In this treacherous palace, you won't have the chance to make mistakes and repent."
"Your son will always remember your mother's teachings..." The queen bowed very sincerely. Yes, she was not Yan Xiwei, she was the queen.
but……
But what if she is the queen?
She has no son...
Seeing her like this, the Queen Mother sighed secretly, and a touch of pity and guilt appeared in her heart. She patted her hands kindly and said, "Cheer up. You are my niece. I will make plans for you."
The queen felt complicated, "Thank you, aunt..."
……
At the same time, at the Grand Princess’s Mansion.
"Crack, crack..."
Yan Xiwei knelt straight on the ground. An old woman beside her was holding a bamboo board and beating her back mercilessly.
The pain in her back seemed to spread throughout her body, making it unbearable for her.
His face was much paler than when he was in the palace, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
But Yan Xiwei gritted her teeth and said nothing. Only this kind of pain could make her remember this lesson forever.
It was her. It was she who underestimated her opponent and ended up in disgrace.
She deserves this pain.
The old nanny had beaten enough and stopped, lowering her hands respectfully, waiting for the Grand Princess's instructions.
The eldest princess is quite old after all, and she looks exhausted after such a trip.
But she had to take care of Yan Xiwei, so after she fainted, she brought her directly to the house.
I just hope that the strict teaching and advice I give her can help her improve.
The Grand Princess waved away her attendants.
There was no trace of kindness or affection in his expression, as if he were a stranger: "Do you know your mistake?"
"I know I was wrong, grandma. Wei'er knows I was wrong..." Yan Xiwei sobbed and crawled on her knees towards the Grand Princess, her face full of remorse.
But the pedals blocked her approach. She raised her eyes with tears in her eyes and said, "It was Wei'er who caused trouble for grandma. Wei'er deserves to die. Grandma, please punish Wei'er..."
Know your mistake?
Ah……
The Grand Princess was surprised to hear that Yan Xiwei was not as stubborn as she was before towards the Emperor.
The anger finally dissipated a little. If she dared to play tricks on her, she would show no mercy.
Since she is so stupid and stubborn, she should stay in her own yard and never come out, so as to avoid being implicated by her.
The eldest princess' expression softened a little, "I hope that through punishment you will learn a lesson and not act rashly in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
Yan Xiwei was filled with hatred in her heart, but her face was full of gratitude.
The eldest princess was very satisfied with her attitude, and then she explained, "Do you know why I didn't help you today?"
Yan Xiwei was filled with guilt. "It was Wei'er who brought shame to my grandmother. Wei'er ruined my grandmother's reputation..."
The Grand Princess originally had about 50% of her anger left, but Yan Xiwei's words dissipated about 70% of it.
Thinking of the ruthless punishment I had just given her, I didn't want her to hold a grudge against me.
The tone became a little warmer, "Get up, I'll ask Nanny to give you some medicated oil later, it will be effective in reducing swelling and removing blood stasis."
Yan Xiwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and naturally pretended to be grateful.
The eldest princess was somewhat satisfied. She was not a useless person after all. She changed her attitude and sighed, "Do you know why your grandmother is so strict with you?"
