Li Qiming picked up the memorial on the ground and looked it up carefully.

The content of the memorial is all about accusing his concubine, Qi, of claiming to be Princess An, and taking advantage of her power to commit crimes, bully the court's wives, and even connive at her subordinates to seize the people's farmland...

All kinds of crimes, some things even Wang An didn't know about, but were known by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and even the impeachment memorial was handed over to the emperor's desk, and he was punished along with him.

Li Qiming was full of anger in his heart, but how could he dare to explode in front of the emperor, he could only swallow his anger and bow his head to admit his mistake.

"The minister is not strict in disciplining his family members, please punish the emperor."

Emperor Qitai saw that he had a good attitude of pleading guilty, so he restrained his anger a little: "You are limited to solve the matters on the memorial within one month, and your side concubine is not worthy to be demoted to wife. Severe punishment for one year, do you have any objection?"

"My son, I would like to obey the imperial decree."

Li Qiming gritted his teeth and glanced at Pei Ming who was standing beside the old god. At this moment, besides accepting the order obediently, he dared not have any objections.

He suppressed his anger, and went straight to Qi Qingqing's courtyard as soon as he returned to the mansion.

The people in Qi Qingqing's courtyard saw Li Qiming approaching from a distance, and immediately turned around excitedly to report to their master.

When Qi Qingqing heard that Li Qiming had come, she was also very happy.

But when she saw the maid kneeling at her feet, the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

She frowned and stretched out her leg to kick the maid: "You are lucky, I will let you go for now."

The servant girl's voice was choked with sobs, she kowtowed repeatedly on the ground and said, "Your maidservant kowtows to thank you, Madam."

Qi Qingqing rolled her eyes at her, and snorted disdainfully: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you help me get up to meet His Highness?"

The little maid staggered to her feet, but her feet went limp and she fell to the ground again.

Seeing this, another maid standing beside her helped Qi Qingqing up with a wink.

Qi Qingqing got up and kicked the little maid on the ground again: "Useless trash."

The little girl lay on the ground crying aggrievedly.

When she was cleaning the house early in the morning, she accidentally broke a water glass on the coffee table, and was punished by the side concubine to kneel until now.

For three full hours, if she made a slight movement, the side concubine would beat and scold her.

She's all lucky.

Last time, the elder sister who was serving the side concubine to comb her hair accidentally tore off a few strands of her hair, and it was said that she was later sold to a kiln.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help shivering, thinking that if the side concubine turned around and saw that she was still here, she might be how to deal with her, maybe she would be worse than the elder sister who was sold into the brothel. To be miserable.

So she resisted the discomfort in her legs and left the room of the side concubine empress.

I can only be thankful that the little maid left quickly.

The maid lied about the news before, and Li Qiming just passed by the promenade in front of Qi Qingqing's courtyard, and then went to Wangfei's courtyard instead, without any intention of coming to her courtyard.

Qi Qingqing was so furious that she went back to the room and beat them up.

"Come on, go and bring me that nonsense dead maid."

Without Qi Qingqing saying another word, two servants immediately escorted the maid who lied that the prince came over to kneel down in front of Qi Qingqing.

Qi Qingqing slapped the servant girl with a palm: "How dare you lie to me, you brazen girl. I'll give you a chance. If you can't make me calm down, then wait to sell it to a kiln." .”

Thinking of the sister from before, the servant girl was too frightened to ask for mercy, and her mind was quickly thinking about how to calm down the side concubine empress.

She remembered that last time a servant girl said something wrong and slapped her mouth for an hour. The concubine let her go, so she also started to imitate that servant girl.

Qi Qingqing sat on the grand teacher's chair and watched the maid slap her mouth for a long time, and she was very puzzled. She was about to stand up and kick the girl a few times to relieve her anger, when suddenly an inappropriate voice came from her ear.

"What's going on, this servant girl can make my sister so angry."

Qi Qingqing looked at Princess An who was walking towards her, feeling disdainful in her heart, but still got up obediently but saluted very perfunctorily: "Greetings to Princess An."

Concubine An looked at Qi Qingqing, who was unwilling to pay her respects to her, and thought about what the prince had told her just now, but her usual disgust was gone in her heart, only joy remained.

She went to sit in front of the teacher's chair, and patted the seat next to her kindly: "My sister is pregnant, so why stand for so long, come and sit."

Qi Qingqing squinted her eyes and paid a lot of attention to Princess An who was sitting in front of her with a kind face.

Ever since she planned to assassinate Princess An in the temple last time, the two have been at odds with each other. Today, this woman is so polite to her, there must be something tricky about it.

She thought that just now the prince passed by her and went straight to the princess. Could it be that this woman came to her to show off?

Heh, I just sat there for a while, and I don't know what to show off.

She replied disdainfully: "Thank you, Princess An, for your concern." Then she sat down beside Princess An unceremoniously.

Seeing Qi Qingqing's arrogant appearance, Princess An really wanted to laugh more and more, and she didn't know if Qi Qingqing could still be arrogant after she finished talking later.

Concubine An pretended to sigh, looked at Qi Qingqing and said slowly: "Sister, I'm afraid I don't know yet, the prince was just summoned into the palace by the emperor, and it was said that the Metropolitan Procuratorate handed over a note to the imperial court, saying that there is someone in our house. The female relatives bully others and use the power in their hands to do anything wrong."

After hearing these words, Qi Qingqing rolled her eyes, and said without thinking, "It's the princess who is looking for her. What does it mean to come to me?"

After saying this, Qi Qingqing suddenly came to her senses, her heart surged with anger, she patted the table and stood up to hold back her anger: "What does the princess mean by this, maybe she suspects that the person is me."

Princess An took out the handkerchief in her sleeve, wiped her face lightly, and said in a low voice: "It's not that I doubt my sister, but that my sister's name is clearly written on the memorial, and this memorial is Pei Mingpei, the deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." The adults personally handed it over."

"Oh." Concubine An chuckled, "My sister may not know that Pei Yushi is known for being impartial and strict, and he never wrongs others without evidence, so the emperor immediately called the prince into the palace to reprimand him, and... ..."

Concubine An slowly said these words word by word, as if she wanted to pour out all the grievances she had suffered these days: "And took back the position of side concubine from my younger sister, and demoted her to madam."

Qi Qingqing looked in disbelief, pointed at Princess An and said, "You...you don't pass the imperial decree here..."

Princess An got up and said with a smile: "I think my sister can't accept this for a while, I can fully understand her feelings, but you can't talk nonsense about falsely preaching the imperial decree."
