Chapter 214 Slap in public (two more)
Concubine Shu did not expect this result. Didn’t Gu Jinyu talk about her invention? How can a four-year-old kid do it?
Concubine Zhuang doesn’t think it’s a big deal to watch the excitement: “Shu, concubine Xiaowu has learned other people’s skills secretly, and then pretends to take it as his own credit?”
Concubine Shu was guilty for a while, her face flushed: ”What did the concubine say? How could Xiaowu do such a thing?”
Zhuang Guifei smiled lightly: ”Is it possible that they were the one who stole the teacher from the five little ones?”
Queen Xiao said sternly: ”The imperial concubine said carefully, this palace just heard it, the child said his family would have done it long ago.
Shu concubine bit her scalp and said: ”Xiao, Xiaowu will do it early too!”
Concubine Zhuang said: ”You didn't say that just now. Didn't you say that Xiaowu only came up with it yesterday?”
”I...” Concubine Shu did mention that the fifth prince only mentioned this practice to her last night.
Gui Concubine Zhuang said again: ”Could it be that Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi mentioned that Xiao Qi taught the child, but the child lied that his family taught him?”
Empress Xiao said sternly: ”Last night Xiao Qi came back from the Imperial College and stayed here in this palace. Your Majesty was there. After that, your Majesty sent Xiao Qi to the East Palace. The imperial concubine said, how can Xiao Qi meet Xiao Wu? Xiao Wu Why did you tell Xiao Qi about this?”
The age difference between the two is so large, and the relationship is not close in normal times. It is impossible for the fifth prince to tell Qin Chuyu this kind of thing.
Qin Chuyu is a child, what does he know?
Zhuang Guifei owed her body: ”It's the concubine who made a mistake.”
Quick Concubine Zhuang was not speaking for Concubine Shu, and Empress Xiao also understood.
The emperor's eyes on Concubine Shu became complicated.
Honestly, the emperor is very fond of Concubine Shu, and there are always newcomers in the palace, but Concubine Shu is always the most favored one. There is no other reason. Concubine Shu is charming and beautiful, and can also coax people. It is a rare flower of explanation.
However, today’s things have touched the emperor’s bottom line.
The emperor was originally annoyed by Gu Jinyu's claim of credit but no evidence. The most annoying is the person who took credit!
Of course, the emperor is essentially a person who speaks evidence.
The emperor said: ”Do you have any evidence to prove that when Xiaowu made this mortar for the first time?”
Fei Shu was dumb.
The emperor continued: ”He is not imagined out of thin air, you have to make it out before you believe it, right?”
Concubine Shu was completely speechless.
The emperor called Grandpa Wei: ”Go and ask that kid, when was the first time his family made this?”
”Yes!” Grandpa Wei took a small step. After a while, he turned back and said to the emperor, ”Your Majesty, he said that many of the walls of their neighbors are made of this kind of mortar. Last month There will be.”
The emperor gave Minister Wei a wink, and Mr. Wei turned his head to call in a few masters in Bishui Hutong to take a trip to Bishui Hutong.
The concubines originally came to see the emperor, but now they see the excitement of concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu has been in the palace for many years and has never been so embarrassed.
Gu Jinyu, Gu Jinyu, you really cheated this palace!
Not long after, the Ouchi master returned to the palace, and one of them said to the emperor: ”Your Majesty, there is indeed the same mortar.”
The evidence is conclusive. The mortar was made by the child’s family first.
So the question is, how did the five princes know about mortar? Did he figure it out by himself, or... steal the teacher from someone?
Empress Xiao couldn't help but speak: ”Shu Fei, don't you hurry up and tell the truth?”
Shu concubine regrets it very much. If she had known this, she would not be fooled by Gu Jinyu. If she didn't come to receive the credit, how could she lie right now?
If the five princes were not involved, it would have been.
Zhuang Guifei smiled faintly: ”Why don't you call the Fifth Prince to ask?”
”No!” She hasn't confessed to Xiao Wu yet!
At this juncture, Xiao Wu was called, didn't she ask her to wear it on the spot?
But Concubine Shu is afraid of what comes—
”Huh? Father? Mother concubine? Why are you here?”
It is the fifth prince who has returned to the palace, and rushed to this side in a stride, ”Mother concubine, I heard that you are looking for me in a hurry!”
He walked into the pavilion, saw Empress Xiao and others on the seat, and called out one by one.
”Mother concubine, your face is so ugly.” The fifth prince looked at Concubine Shu weirdly. Everyone was sitting. Only Concubine Shu stood in the middle of the pavilion, looking like she was being interrogated. The fifth prince frowned. What's the matter?”
Concubine Shu gave him a wink.
