Chapter 939 Abandoning the Concubine and Returning to the Study
Xiao Jingyi closed his eyes in annoyance, and when he opened them again, his gaze swept coldly over the two concubines. He first looked at Madam Yu and asked, "You said you were going to pay your respects to the Dowager Consort?"
Xiao Jingyi spoke slowly.
funny!
Why go to pay your respects at this time, neither too early nor too late?
"Oh, yes!"
Yu nodded quickly.
"I thought that the Dowager Consort must be lonely in the Buddhist hall, so I should go and pay my respects to her and keep her company, to show my filial piety on behalf of the Prince!"
"Hmm, that's a good idea!"
Well done!
Xiao Jingyi nodded.
Seeing Xiao Jingyi nod in approval, Madam Yu was secretly delighted...
It seems that my words and actions have pleased the prince. In the future, the prince will surely treat me differently and show me more favor!
Xiao Jingyi didn't care what Yu Shi thought.
He turned to Qin and asked, "Is that what you think too?"
"Yeah yeah!"
Madam Qin nodded quickly.
"I know Your Highness has important matters to attend to; I will take care of the matter of paying respects to the Dowager Consort and fulfilling my filial duties!"
"Oh?
is it?
Very well! With you all showing filial piety to the Dowager Consort, I feel much more at ease!
As it happens, the Dowager Consort is in a bad mood today and needs someone to keep her company. You two should go over there now!
"what?
Your Highness, this…
"how?
Didn't you say you were going to show filial piety to the Dowager Consort on my behalf?
how?
Are you lying to me?
Actually... you don't want to at all?
“No, no!
Your Highness, I am willing! Of course I am willing!
"I...I was just thinking...thinking..."
"What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Jingyi asked with a stern face.
A forced smile appeared on Qin Shi's face, which was on the verge of tears. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I... I suddenly realized that I should go and pay my respects to the Dowager Consort now... but the timing is wrong!"
It was my oversight!
It is said that younger generations should pay their respects to their elders morning and evening to show filial piety.
But this time... it's neither too early nor too late, which is really inappropriate.
"I suppose... the Dowager Consort is resting now, so perhaps it would be most appropriate for me to pay my respects to her later... or early tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, yes, Sister Qin is right!"
I came here rashly because I thought of the Dowager Consort, without giving it much thought.
Looking back now, I realize that I was indeed rash in coming here!
"Why don't I go and keep the Dowager company again tomorrow morning? I can spend more time with her!"
At this moment, both Madam Qin and Madam Yu were filled with regret and fear!
The prince said... the Dowager Consort is in a bad mood right now, so he asked them to go and keep her company...
Oh my God!
That imperial concubine was a real old witch, a real sorceress!
If she happens to be in a bad mood, she's a living demon from hell!
Going to keep her company now...they haven't lived enough yet!
Xiao Jingyi looked at the two women in front of him, their expressions changing, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. He turned to Chang Gui, who was following behind him, and instructed, "Chang Gui, take the two of them to the small Buddhist hall and leave them there to keep the Dowager Consort company!"
"Every day, I can chant scriptures and recite Buddhist prayers with the Dowager Consort, which will also be a good opportunity for me to fulfill my filial duty!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Chang Gui responded, bowed to Madam Qin and Madam Yu, and gestured, "Please, both of you concubines!"
"I'll escort the two concubines to the Dowager Princess right away!"
“Your Majesty…Your Majesty…”
The two concubines, Qin and Yu, were dumbfounded...
After a moment of stunned silence, the two of them knelt down on the ground with a thud, opening their mouths to beg Xiao Jingyi to retract his order.
Xiao Jingyi didn't even glance at the two women again. With a flick of his sleeve, he walked past the two kneeling, pale-faced women and strode towards the courtyard of the study, leaving behind his two concubines, Qin and Yu, and the few maids following behind them shivering in the autumn wind. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were sacrifices to be sent to the demon's lair!
In reality, there's not much difference.
The imperial concubine who claimed to be chanting scriptures and worshipping Buddha in the small Buddhist hall was actually a vicious tiger holding prayer beads!
Ruthless and capricious, taking a person's life is as easy as crushing an ant!
Knowing full well that the Empress Dowager was in a bad mood, they still sent the two of them to the small Buddhist shrine...
Did they do something wrong?
Is the prince tired of them and wants to send them to their deaths?
They regretted it!
They regretted their clever trick and waited for the prince on his usual route...
They really regretted it!
But it seems too late to regret it.
Changgui stood there expressionless, waiting to lead Qin Shi, Yu Shi, and their maids to the small Buddhist hall.
The prince has already given the order; going there means facing an uncertain future.
If I don't go... will I die...? I don't know, but most likely I'll suffer a fate worse than death!
A gust of autumn wind blew by, and many more withered leaves fell with the wind...
At this moment, it wasn't just the branches and leaves trembling in the wind, but also the two concubines, Qin and Yu, and the maids serving them.
If the masters don't have a good life, the servants won't have it any better!
They are now more afraid than their masters! Terrified!
Xiao Jingyi turned his head and forgot about the two unfortunate concubines who had fawned over him, and went straight back to his study.
