The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 320 Lingpin is under house arrest

Xie Hongyu didn't expect that not long after A Yin entered the palace, she would win the title of a noble lady. Even though she hadn't seen her enemy's misfortune yet, she was very happy.

And when Qingyin was playing chess with Emperor Chongzhao that day, she finally understood why his majesty was unhappy with her.

"Thank you, my dear. You are not married, right? Do you have a girl you like?"

Qingyin answered honestly: "No."

She lowered her head in shame.

Emperor Chongzhao felt even more satisfied when he looked at the shy and delicate young man. Apart from being a little younger, his talent and appearance... Xie Yin was exactly worthy of his Jiamin.

Emperor Chongzhao put down the chess piece in his hand and asked, "What do you think of my Princess Jiamin?"

The chess piece in Qingyin's hand shook and was placed in the wrong position, so Emperor Chongzhao quickly captured the chess piece.

Looking at the boy whose ears were red from nervousness, Emperor Chong Zhao was relatively patient: "It's okay, just tell me by the way."

"Princess, you are a precious girl, supported by your majesty, so you must be beautiful and have excellent character, but I dare not..."

Qingyin, with her eyes lowered, noticed that the large screen in the room suddenly shook, and she had an idea in her mind.

Emperor Chongzhao glanced in the direction of the screen and coughed lightly, attracting Qingyin's worried gaze again.

"Your Majesty, but...?"

"It's nothing. It's hot and my throat is a little dry. Just drink some water."

……

Seeing Xie Yin, who was frightened and pushed back after hearing these few words, Emperor Chongzhao lost interest in playing chess with him. "Alright, you go down first."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qingyin bowed politely and walked out.

After waiting for everyone to leave, Emperor Chongzhao looked in the direction of the screen and coughed lightly.

"Okay, come out."

"You little girl, you insist on coming closer. My daughter doesn't need to hide."

Jiamin stamped her feet shyly, "Oh, my Emperor!"

The thin powder that was just praised by my sweetheart has not yet gone off.

Jiamin's beautiful face was tinged with embarrassment. She boldly pulled her father's sleeve and said, "Father, why don't we make a decision sooner? Lord Xie is so attractive. I am afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Xie Yin is the prince consort I favor. Who would dare to compete with you for him?" At this time, the arrogant emperor no longer said a single fault about Xie Yin.

Although his most beloved daughter fell in love with the wild boar outside, which was the most beautiful and capable wild boar, but excluding that factor, our Emperor actually also took a fancy to Xie Yin, this "excellent wild boar".

Seeing that the emperor had agreed to her request, Jiamin showed a look of joy on her face.

"But... you shouldn't get married too early. The boy is still young, and you are still young too. It just so happens that you can stay in the palace longer and spend more time with your mother."

Emperor Chongzhao added.

Seeing her future husband was a done deal, Jiamin was no longer in a hurry. Thinking that she would rarely see her mother and the emperor after leaving the palace, Jiamin felt a little depressed for a while.

She said coquettishly: "Father, I want to stay with you forever."

Emperor Chongzhao patted his daughter's head and said angrily, "Silly child, how can you stay with us forever? Come on, you wanted to marry Xie Yin before, and now you want to stay with the emperor forever."

If we ignore the Emperor's unwilling smile, it could be considered as an expression of anger towards his daughter.

Jiamin found it a little funny. Her arrogant old father acted affectionately and coquettishly for a while before she left.

Before she had taken a few steps away, a beautiful pregnant woman came over.

At the door, the chief eunuch looked at the pregnant Concubine Ling in front of him with a beautiful smile, and immediately stepped forward to help the precious Concubine up.

"Oh, my queen, you are pregnant with a dragon fetus, please wake up quickly."

Concubine Ling looked at the eunuch with a flattering expression, with a hint of satisfaction and a bit of frivolity in her eyes.

Oh, he is just a eunuch serving His Majesty, not someone worthy of attention. Her mother at home always reminds her to respect him. Humph, thinking about it, Lingpin no longer planned to stuff the purse into the pocket of this dog servant.

She proudly raised her chin, which was slightly rounded due to pregnancy, and said, "Alright, hurry up. I have something to see His Majesty. Please inform him as soon as possible."

The eunuch did not change his expression despite Concubine Ling's rudeness, but a hint of anger flashed in the depths of his eyes.

She's just a pregnant concubine. Not everyone in this palace can give birth to a child.

"Yes, Madam Lingpin, please go to the side hall and wait. I will go in and report to His Majesty first."

"No need. It won't take long anyway. I'll just wait here."

"okay."

……

Emperor Chongzhao, who had just reviewed a memorial, looked at the eunuch who came in again, his eyes sharpened because he was disturbed.

The chief eunuch hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ling has something to ask you."

Knowing that it was Concubine Ling who was pregnant, Emperor Chongzhao frowned and said, "Isn't she eight months pregnant? Why is she still walking around?"

This was not a question the eunuch could answer, so he stopped aside and lowered his head quietly.

Sure enough, not long after, the eunuch heard His Majesty's voice again.

"Let her in."

Emperor Chongzhao still looked at Concubine Ling's big belly and let her in.

Concubine Ling came in seductively, supported by the palace maid. Because the emperor took too long to think, she thought that the eunuch had delayed her work, and she secretly glared at him as soon as she entered the room.

The eunuch lowered his head and his eyes twitched.

Emperor Chongzhao's eyes darkened as he looked at Concubine Ling, who was as stupid as a pig, and his gaze lingered on her face covered with thick makeup for a few more seconds.

Even though she was pregnant and wearing such thick makeup, it seemed that Concubine Ling did not take the dragon fetus in her belly seriously. Emperor Chongzhao was a little angry in his heart, but he did not show it.

Lingpin thought that it was her makeup that attracted His Majesty's favor, and she raised her head happily, "Your Majesty, I look good, don't I?"

Emperor Chongzhao responded calmly: "Yes."

Originally, he wanted to ask the servants to bring a chair over for Concubine Ling to sit on, but Emperor Chongzhao lost interest.

But Lingpin thought that His Majesty favored her, and she was in a good mood, so she boldly raised her father's request: "Your Majesty, I heard that this new champion is a rare handsome man, with good talent and good looks. I wonder if he is married?"

Emperor Chongzhao raised his eyebrows when he saw Xie Yin coming.

Oh, he just told Jiamin that no one dared to attack him, and the next second someone came to attack him.

The angrier Emperor Chongzhao got, the more he smiled.

"Well, no, what do you want to do, my love?"

The chief eunuch noticed this keenly and lit a stick of incense for Concubine Ling, who was still speaking boldly.

"Isn't this my little sister? She is also very courageous and ambitious. She insisted on choosing someone who is good-looking and capable. I heard that Xie Zhuangyuan was the winner. Isn't this a match made in heaven..."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhao could no longer hold back his inner anger and sneered, "Oh, your 20-something-year-old sister wants to marry my number one scholar."

Emperor Chongzhao's sudden temper frightened Concubine Ling.

But before she could react, Emperor Chongzhao gave her a cold look and ordered someone to drag her away.

"Pass on my order. Lingpin is confined to her house for six months. No one is allowed to visit her."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The servants reacted quickly, protecting Lingpin's belly and carrying her out.

……

The news that Concubine Ling was under house arrest also spread throughout the entire palace. However, except for the people in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, no one knew that the reason was related to Xie Yin.
