Chapter 63: Heresy

On the second day of October, the emperor granted the new concubine a residence in Changle Palace, with two aunts in charge, two personal maids, two inner palace maids, four outer palace maids, one eunuch in charge, two outer palace eunuchs, and ten pieces of silk and satin, and two sets of head ornaments.

On the same day, Princess Pingyao arrived at the Ministry of Justice for inspection, shocking the officials of the Ministry of War, who were at a loss as to what to do. Then they righteously accused: "The Ministry of War is a key place, not a place for women to play around, please respect yourself, Princess!"

"No woman has ever set foot in the court. Although the princess has the privileges granted by the previous emperor, she cannot... cannot..."

"I am just here to stroll around." Princess Pingyao held a broken jade fan in her hand, looking relaxed, "Don't be nervous, my lords."

The faces of the minister of war, the left and right assistant ministers, and all the lower-level officials changed, and they all stared at the fan in her hand.

They knew that when the fan was unfolded, they could clearly see the four characters "As if I were here in person" on the fan, so no matter how righteous they were, they did not dare to really turn against Princess Pingyao.

"From now on, I will hold an idle position in the Ministry of War." Princess Pingyao smiled faintly, "You don't have to worry about what I intend to do. I am not tempted by the position of Shangshu or Shilang. I just hope that you will be more cautious and don't make any plans that you shouldn't make. Otherwise, this fan in my hand will cost someone's life."

After saying this, she turned around and walked out leisurely, obviously not caring about what her words would bring to the officials of the Ministry of War.

However, after Princess Pingyao left the Ministry of Justice, she was stopped by an old maid halfway.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother invites you."

Princess Pingyao looked indifferent and went to see the Queen Mother with her without saying a word.

"Mingxi." The Queen Mother looked unprepared, staring at the rebellious Princess in front of her, and said in a cold and unhappy tone, "What are you doing at the Ministry of War?"

Princess Pingyao walked into the hall and walked to a chair and sat down: "I can go wherever I want, what does the Queen Mother have to do with it?"

"How dare you!" The Queen Mother's face darkened, "Do you still have any rules in your eyes?"

Princess Pingyao raised her eyebrows slightly: "If the Queen Mother just wants to say this, I'm sorry I won't accompany you."

After saying this, she pretended to get up and leave.

"Stop." The Queen Mother shouted coldly, "Yanshu was injured, have you seen him?"

Princess Pingyao nodded nonchalantly: "I did go to see him once."

The Queen Mother said coldly: "Your husband was humiliated like this, don't you want to seek justice for him?"

Husband? Justice?

Pingyao glanced at the empress dowager's pretending to be majestic face and smiled faintly: "Qin Yanshu's injury was his own fault. What does it have to do with me? There are so many beautiful and obedient concubines in my palace. I can't pamper them all in a day. How can I have time to care about a stupid and irresponsible rotten person?"

These words were really merciless, almost trampling on her mother's family in front of the empress dowager.

The queen mother's face was ashen, and her expression suddenly became furious and ugly: "Ji Mingxi!"

"Besides, the queen mother knows what Qin Yanshu is going to the regent's palace, and I know it too." Princess Pingyao sneered disdainfully, "Such a shameless thing, I will not recognize him as my husband."

After saying this, she stood up: "Queen mother, give up those thoughts. I am 23 years old this year and have not married yet. You should know that I am a born heretic and will not be controlled by anyone. You don't have to use your status to pressure me. If you really make me unhappy, I will let Qin Guojiu's family die suddenly!"

Leaving this treasonous threat, Princess Pingyao turned and walked out. Of course, she was in line with the saying that she left before she even had time to sit down. She came and left in a hurry.

The queen mother was so angry that she trembled all over, and the palace people in the hall knelt on the ground in horror, and were almost scared to death by the princess's treasonous words.
