Chapter 1002 Becoming a Concubine?
Consort Liu despised Bu Qingyao, but fortunately, Prince Xiao learned from his mistakes and his judgment improved considerably.
Otherwise, if Prince Xiao really took a liking to this girl, that would be a real disaster.
The Empress could naturally see through Consort Liu's thoughts. In the past, when she and Consort Liu had a strained relationship, she would have inevitably said a few words about it.
However, recently she has clearly sensed that Consort Liu is trying to curry favor with her. Rather than having another opponent, she thinks it would be better to have another ally.
"Now that you are a servant of the Prince of Liang, you have no choice but to enter the Prince of Liang's mansion."
"Go back and inform your family, then pack your things and head to the Liang Prince's residence tomorrow," the Empress said.
Bu Qingyao nodded tremblingly, not daring to even lift her head.
Although she usually thought highly of herself, she had absolutely no confidence in front of the Empress and Consort Liu.
"Your Majesty, what would my status be if I entered the Liang Prince's residence?"
Bu Qingyao was a little anxious. She originally wanted to enter the Xiao Prince's mansion, but now she had become the Liang Prince's person by a twist of fate.
However, the Liang Prince's Mansion is still a prince's mansion; as long as we can get in, that's already quite good.
However, the Empress told her to pack her things and go directly to the Liang Prince's residence. This shouldn't be the way things are for a wedding.
Consort Liu, upon hearing Bu Qingyao's words, knew that the girl still harbored a sliver of hope, and couldn't help but scoff.
"What identity? What do you think it should be?"
Bu Qingyao looked blank, seemingly unaware of what to say.
"You and the Prince of Liang had an affair without any matchmaker, and now so many people have caught you. You have lost all face, and even the Prince of Liang is no longer a resource for you."
"You think you can still become the Prince Liang's consort after drugging him into bed?"
Consort Liu rolled her eyes. She was usually arrogant and domineering, and she made no attempt to hide her disdain for such a brainless woman.
She even dared to covet her son! It's fortunate that it was Prince Liang who fell for it. If it had been Prince Xiao, she would have prevented this woman from even becoming a concubine!
Bu Qingyao's face turned pale.
Consort Liu showed her absolutely no respect, completely tearing away any pretense of decency. Not only did she have an affair, but she also used drugs to get involved.
When the news got back, she was worried that her parents would beat her to death.
She went to great lengths and risked everything, but in the end, all she could do was become a concubine in the Liang Prince's mansion.
A concubine is a servant!
Even though she used such dishonorable means, she was not even as good as the other concubines in the eyes of the King of Liang. What should she do?
If she had known this would happen, she would have been better off marrying a young master from an ordinary noble family. At least she would be the principal wife and the head of the household in the future. Wouldn't that be better than being a concubine?
"Take him away, he's such bad luck!"
Consort Liu waved her hand in disgust, her gaze as if she were looking at a nasty bug.
After Bu Qingyao was taken away, the Empress looked at Consort Liu's appearance and couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't be angry, didn't Prince Xiao not fall for it today?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know, ever since that incident involving Prince Xiao, I've been constantly worried about him."
For some reason, I felt uneasy throughout tonight's banquet, as if something was about to happen, and well, it really did!
"It's only because Prince Xiao was lucky that he escaped this calamity. Otherwise, look at the situation tonight, what good would it have been for Prince Xiao?"
Consort Liu stopped pretending in front of the Empress. In the past, the two of them would have been at odds over the Empress's favor.
Now that they're all getting older, they're all thinking about their children, and their relationship has actually improved a lot since they've become a united front.
"Qingyao was indeed brainless in this move; she only got herself into trouble."
The Empress nodded and said, "Prince Xiao is a blessed man; we must choose a good princess for him."
Consort Liu then smiled. "Prince Xiao just told me that he has a girl he likes, but I didn't have time to ask clearly in that situation. I don't know which girl he has his eye on."
I hope he'll have better judgment this time. If he really finds a good girl, that would be wonderful. But if he chooses the wrong one, I can't agree to it either.
"Your Majesty, you have excellent judgment. You'll have to help me choose the right ones."
Upon hearing this, the Empress couldn't help but recall her previous dissatisfaction with Song Ruozhen, and her sense of guilt deepened.
Now I really feel that Ruozhen is their lucky star. Since marrying Junting, Junting has become better and better.
Not only that, because Jun Ting had been staying at the border for many years, the relationship between him and his mother was inevitably affected and gradually faded. This matter has always been a knot in her heart.
Fortunately, as she became kinder to Ruozhenyue, Junting's attitude towards her also became noticeably closer, not to mention that she is now pregnant with triplets.
She couldn't help but feel happy whenever Ruozhen was mentioned.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I see that Prince Xiao is becoming more and more mature, and his vision is naturally different from before."
"In my opinion, you don't need to worry too much. Who knows, this daughter-in-law might be your favorite," the Empress said.
Consort Liu smiled broadly, her heart filled with anticipation, hoping that her son's judgment was indeed excellent.
……
King Xiao and King Kang left the imperial study together.
The two looked at each other, and smiles unconsciously appeared on their faces.
"Finally, I've vented my anger!" Prince Kang said with a look of satisfaction. "You have no idea how much humiliation I've suffered lately, Eldest Brother!"
“I know,” King Xiao replied.
Even though this matter had nothing to do with him, he had still heard a lot about it and knew how frustrated the Prince of Kang had been during this period.
"That woman Wu Yue'er is a menace. I feel disgusted just looking at her, but I can't get rid of her. I'm so miserable!"
King Kang truly felt he had never been so heartbroken in his entire life!
He had lived a life of luxury since childhood and had never suffered any hardship. Because of his status as a prince, everyone around him fawned over him. But then he encountered Wu Yue'er, and he was incredibly unlucky!
"Now that the problem is finally solved, your residence can finally be peaceful."
King Xiao patted King Kang on the shoulder, "It's all in the past."
King Kang couldn't help but wipe his eyes. He had finally gotten rid of that scourge, and he was almost moved to tears!
Just as King Xiao stepped out of the palace gate, he saw Yun Yang standing beside Chu Junting.
"Your Highness Prince Xiao, our lord asked me to deliver a message to you."
"what?"
"Miss Yun is in trouble."
The moment King Xiao heard these words, his expression changed drastically.
He remembered Yun Lengyu's help today, and from what happened later, he could deduce that Bu Qingyao's drugging had nothing to do with Yun Lengyu.
The girl meant well, worried that he would be taken advantage of, so she came to warn him. But how did this happen?
