The Rise of a Farm Girl

Chapter 51: The Imperial Palace 1

Wang Jingru was a county lady, and county ladies also had official uniforms. She had already prepared them for him when he came out.

After entering the carriage, she entered the space and put on the county lord's official uniform.

Arriving at the palace gate, she entered the palace smoothly. Wang Jingru walked in quickly because she had to hurry. Still had to go to the academy for class?

Wang Jingru came to the outside of the Golden Palace and told her eunuch that she wanted to see the emperor.

This eunuch was the one who delivered the imperial eunuch to Wang Jingru last time. He soon entered the palace, and the Emperor and Princess Jingru asked for an audience outside the palace.

The emperor was a little surprised to hear Wang Jingru coming. He put down the pen in his hand and said, "Let her in!" Thinking about that bold girl last time, he was not afraid that he would be angry and punish him when he saw that he knelt so perfunctorily.

Just as he was thinking about it, Wang Jingru walked in. Wang Jingru didn't dare to be perfunctory this time. He came here to complain and make a scene. It would be even better if he could avoid going to the college.

Wang Jingru came in and knelt there. Then the tears came, but Wang Jingru really had no tears to shed, so she pinched her thigh hard. The pain made her tears flow all of a sudden.

The emperor was also puzzled. Why did the county lady cry when she came? The emperor hurriedly said, "County lady, what's the matter with you? Have you been bullied by someone? Why don't you tell me and see if I can help you."

Your Majesty! I don't want to live anymore. Since I went to the academy, I have been bullied every day. You have to make the decision for me!

Just because I was born a peasant girl, they looked down on me and said that I was just a small county lady and was not worthy of attending classes with them. I admit that I don't know anything, but I study hard every day.

The most important thing is the Second Princess. She just doesn't like me no matter how I look at her. No matter how I try to please her, it won't work. She says that the emperor is stupid for making a peasant girl the county lady and letting the children of officials bully me every day.

I can't go to the academy to study anymore, please revoke your order. Just yesterday, the second princess said to me that I don't know anything.

I am also a man of integrity. Even a clay man still has some blood in him! What's more, I am a real person. Chen Yi got angry and left the academy, saying that he would never come to the academy again.

But the second princess refused to give in. She brought the young lady of the Wei family and chased me home. I was in a bad mood, so I went to the restaurant to drink some wine.

But the second princess led Miss Wei into the mansion and rushed into the house, cursing loudly. It would have been fine if they had just cursed me, but they also cursed my father.

I am here, asking Your Majesty to revoke my title of princess!

At the same time, please ask the emperor to take back my father's official position, and let our family return to the village and live an ordinary and comfortable mountain village life! This imperial city is really not suitable for me!

The key is that our family is always being bullied wherever we go. Wang Jingru's complaints stop here. Nothing should be overdone, and Wang Jingru handles it just right.

Wang Jingru just cried after she finished speaking, without saying a word. This really pissed off the emperor, as the second princess was becoming more and more unruly and willful.

Someone, go and call the second princess. After the emperor called, a eunuch went to find the second princess. Soon, the second princess came because she was going to the academy. When she was walking out of the harem, she met the father-in-law who came to look for her.

Otherwise, he would not have come so quickly. The second princess walked into the hall and paid her respects to the emperor. The emperor did not let her get up, and the second princess did not dare to get up either, because she saw Wang Jingru.

The second princess knelt next to Wang Jingru and glared at her fiercely. This scene happened to be seen by the emperor.

Wang Jingru was not afraid of her at all. The second princess hated Wang Jingru to death. She had no idea what she had said when she reported her wrongdoing.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his face as gloomy as water, without a smile on his face. The second princess was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and trembled.

Xueer, do you admit your guilt? Normally, I could forgive you for being a little willful, but recently you have become more and more willful and unruly.

How can you be a princess at all? You are a princess with a small heart. You are too unruly to break into the minister's house and insult the minister. How can you be so rude?

You will be fined half a year, confined to your home for three months, and forced to copy the "Female Virtues and Female Rules" a hundred times. The princess turned pale when she heard this. She didn't care about the money.

Because his maternal grandfather's family was the richest in southern Xinjiang, they would send a lot of gold and silver jewelry to his mother every year.

But copying the Women's Virtues and Precepts a hundred times and being confined to his room for three months would kill him. Not leaving the yard for three months and staying in the house every day would drive him crazy.

His wrists must have been swollen from writing the female virtues and female precepts a hundred times. The second princess really cried this time. With red eyes, she kowtowed to the emperor, "Father, please forgive me this time!"

I will never dare to do it again. I know I was wrong. I beg you to give me a chance. I will never dare to be willful again.

But no matter what was said, the emperor remained unmoved and ordered his men to take the second princess back to his own courtyard.

Not allowing him to come out, the second princess turned around and glared at Wang Jingru fiercely. In front of the emperor, she dared not say anything, but in her heart, she hated Wang Jingru.

The second princess was taken away and brought back to her own courtyard. The second princess's mother, Concubine Liu, soon received the news and wanted to vent her anger on her daughter.

Since Yang Liu was named Princess Liu, the whole family will benefit from one person's success. Yang Liu was such a person, who moved from southern Xinjiang to the imperial capital.

His elder brother, cousin, and fathers all got some official positions. Because of Concubine Liu's favor, the Yang family became more and more unscrupulous.

Murder, arson, and all kinds of evil were committed, and the officials under him dared not offend anyone easily. When they encountered reports of crimes, they suppressed them all.

In the past, when the Yang family made mistakes, the officials had reported them to the emperor. However, after Concubine Liu cried and made a fuss, the matter was eventually dropped.

Concubine Liu became more and more unscrupulous, and concubines with lower ranks than him in the palace were often bullied by him. But they could only swallow their anger.

When Concubine Liu heard that her daughter was punished by the emperor, she hated Wang Jingru for daring to tell the emperor about her daughter's misdeeds.

Concubine Liu sent her maid to wait for Wang Jingru outside the palace. Wang Jingru talked to the emperor for a while, thanked him, and then let Wang Jingru leave.

Wang Jingru had just left the Golden Palace and let out a long sigh, waiting to see who would dare to mess with her this time.

Before she could be happy for long, she saw a maid walking towards her and said, "County Lady Jingru, my queen wants to see you."

Wang Jingru looked at the maid and said, "Who is your queen? My queen is Concubine Liu."

When Wang Jingru heard that it was Concubine Liu, she knew what was going on.

This is because his daughter was punished, so he wanted to get back at her. Or maybe it was revenge on him. Since he had come to the palace, he couldn't avoid it.

Wang Jingru said to the maid, "Lead the way ahead." Following the maid, she walked quickly towards Concubine Liu's courtyard.

When they arrived at Concubine Liu's courtyard and in front of the door, the maid bowed to Wang Jingru and said, "Please wait a moment, County Lady. I will go in and report."

Wang Jingru waited for a quarter of an hour, but no one called her in. What else did Wang Jingru not understand? This was a warning to her, to let her off the hook first.

Wang Jingru didn't tolerate her, and she walked out of Concubine Liu's yard and out of the gate. Seeing Wang Jingru leaving the gate, the servants in Concubine Liu's yard came to greet her.

My Lord, why did you leave? Our Lady Concubine Liu is having dinner and will be able to see you soon.

Wang Jingru said angrily, your queen has plenty of time, but I don’t have that much time. I have been ordered to go to the academy to study, and I will have classes soon.

Otherwise, I will go to the emperor and ask him whether I should stay in the palace or go to the academy to attend classes.

None of the servants in Concubine Liu's courtyard dared to speak. Not to mention that they dared not speak, even if Concubine Liu came, she couldn't do anything to Wang Jingru.

Wang Jingru took the opportunity to leave the palace and went to the academy to study in a carriage.

Now everyone in the academy knows what happened in the palace. After all, these young masters and young ladies are well-informed, and there are also princesses and princes in there.

When Wang Jingru came, the news had already spread throughout the college, and this time no one dared to be sarcastic.

Wang Jingru thought that she could now attend classes peacefully, but she didn't expect that trouble was yet to come. Concubine Liu's father, Yang Jiang, had already received the news and heard that his granddaughter had been confined by the emperor.

The reason turned out to be that County Lady Wang Jingru went to the Emperor to make a false accusation, which made the Emperor furious. Concubine Liu's nephew and niece wanted to take revenge on Wang Jingru.

To vent his anger for his cousin, the Yang family had three children, two daughters and one son, all of whom studied in the academy.

Concubine Liu's nephew was a demon who dared to rob women in the street. He had raped dozens of girls, if not hundreds.

These girls are all ordinary people and have no place to seek redress for their grievances.

Some girls committed suicide because they couldn't bear the humiliation. But he was smart and never messed with these noble ladies. He also knew his family, so he relied on his aunt in the palace for support.

But how many of these noble ladies' families don't have backers? So he never dared to provoke noble ladies.

But this case is different. He wants to take revenge on Wang Jingru, so he can only plot against her. Sleep with Wang Jingru and let everyone know. His innocence will be ruined, and he will have to marry her.

After marrying Wang Jingru, she would be at his mercy. And I heard that her grandfather was a general, her brother was a prince, and she had a brother, the Prince of War, who was protecting her.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. The more he thought about it, the more perfect this plan seemed. Once he slept with Wang Jingru, and with the support of his aunt, he could persuade the emperor to grant them marriage.

Their family is a royal merchant family. Their uncle is good at business and he constantly supports them. They have money and power.

In the past, their family was just a wealthy merchant, but since their aunt entered the palace and became a concubine, their status has changed.

More and more officials, both big and small, came to curry favor with their family. When Yang Feng and Yang Yan saw Wang Jingru coming, they said nothing, because as soon as Wang Jingru walked into the room and sat down, the teacher came.

The two sisters had no choice but to give up. After the class was over and the teacher left, the two sisters started to act sarcastic to each other.

I tell you all, no one should offend County Lady Jingru. I don’t know what you said to offend her. If you are reported to the Emperor, you will be in big trouble.

Didn't you see that the second princess was confined to the palace and fined for her monthly salary? Even the princess is no match for the county lady, let alone you.

She is the emperor's daughter. Think about it, can you be older than the princess? Everyone's face changed when they heard this, and they all stayed away from Wang Jingru.

They don't have as powerful a backing as the second princess. If they offend him, their whole family will suffer.

So during the whole day of class, no one spoke to Wang Jingru, only the little prince beside her spoke to him. He kept calling her sister, which made Wang Jingru smile.

The two sisters successfully isolated Wang Jingru. They were very proud of themselves. What they didn't know was that Wang Jingru just liked that no one came to disturb her.

This made Wang Jingru very happy. No one came over, so no one would disturb her. Otherwise, one would come to make trouble, and the other would be sarcastic, which would annoy her a lot.

If you pay attention to them, they will be rude to you. If you ignore them, they will say that you look down on him. Wang Jingru lost her temper, and now no one bothers her.

After a day of quiet classes, he returned home feeling even happier. His mother had prepared a sumptuous meal for him at home.

This kind of peaceful life didn't last for many days, because Yang Qi had been thinking about sleeping with Wang Jingru. At this time, Concubine Liu, for some reason, held a flower-viewing banquet and invited Wang Jingru, requiring her to be present.

Wang Jingru was speechless when she saw the invitation. After all the trouble, she was still invited. It was obviously a conspiracy.

Regardless of whether it was a conspiracy or not, Wang Jingru had to attend the banquet, go shopping with her mother, and buy clothes and jewelry for the banquet.

Wang Jingru got up early the next day and rushed to the palace with her mother. She saw her aunt at the gate of the palace. This time her grandmother did not attend.

Several people walked into the palace together, talking and laughing. When they arrived at Concubine Liu's Xiangmei Garden, many people had already come, chatting in groups of three or four.

Wang Jingru and her mother didn't like being disliked, and they didn't like others to pick a fight with them, so they found a place where no one was and sat there chatting and drinking tea.

Wang Jingru didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble always came to her. While she was drinking tea, a palace maid came over with tea and suddenly fell down. The tea splashed on Wang Jingru's dress.

Wang Jingru thought, come on, this is the same routine again. I don’t know what they are thinking, they all use the same routine, the same method.

Wang Jingru pretended to be angry. When the palace maid asked her to take her to the back to change clothes, she followed her and gave her mother a soothing look.

In order to reassure her mother, nothing would happen to her, Yu Wenjiao had great faith in her daughter's abilities.

So Yu Wenjiao sat there steadily, and Wang Jingru was led to the room at the back.

As soon as Wang Jingru entered the room, the door was locked. Wang Jingru was not in a hurry. She quickly covered her mouth and nose and entered the space and drank some spiritual spring water. Just in case, she detoxified herself first.

Wang Jingru hid behind the door, waiting for things to develop. After waiting for a long time, Yang Qi came and opened the locked door.

He walked into the room with a smile on his face. There was a bed curtain hanging on the bed. Yang Qi thought Wang Jingru was lying on the bed!

After coming in, he ran towards the bed. Wang Jingru took advantage of this period of time to quietly open the door and walked out.

If you ask why they didn't retaliate now, it's because they are in the palace now. There are some things that can be done and some things that can't be done, and the emperor is not stupid.

If you do something here and get caught, it will be difficult to retaliate later.

Wang Jingru returned to the banquet, which made the second princess very angry. How could he not know who her cousin was? How could he let Wang Jingru go? It must be that her cousin had failed the job of the county lord.

Not knowing how her cousin was doing now, Wang Jingru sat at the banquet and ate as if nothing had happened.

When Concubine Liu saw Wang Jingru sitting there safe and sound, she quickly told the maid beside her to go to the back room to check. What the maid didn't expect was that she would put her entire life at risk.

The maid came to the backyard, opened the door and walked in, and saw Yang Qi rubbing against the bed. He had been drugged. The maid lifted the bed curtain, raised her gun, instantly locked onto the target, and threw the maid onto the bed.

The maid was unable to resist and soon she was also drugged. The two men started to get busy on the bed.

Concubine Liu saw that the maid was taking a long time to come back, and at this time Concubine Liu's sister-in-law, seeing that her son had not come back for a long time, also became anxious. Could it be that her son had an accident?

She came to Liu Fei and whispered a few words to her, and the two of them walked towards the room in the backyard. When they arrived at the room, they heard the sounds of "hmm" and "ah" before they entered.

What else do these two people not understand? This matter must be resolved quickly, otherwise if the guests in front find out, not only will they be laughed at, but the main thing is that this is the imperial palace and the emperor will find out.

This was not something that could be solved with just a few words. He quickly asked someone to open the door and splash some cold water on the two men to sober them up.

Concubine Liu said a word and gave the maid to her nephew as a concubine, and the matter was quietly resolved. He thought the matter was perfect and would deal with Wang Jingru later.

But what they didn't know was that Wang Jingru also planned to deal with them, which made them regret that they shouldn't have provoked such a difficult person.
