Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 208 Punishment

"Xiao Ji, you came at the right time. Go to the back hall and bring Princess Hengshan here. Let someone else go. I'm worried that she will be stubborn and unwilling to listen." Shen Ningyue said seriously.

"No need, I have already brought this girl here."

Princess Hengshan Qin Mingyue had two buns on her head. She followed Qin Zhi, who walked at a leisurely pace, like a little duck, with big strides and twisting her legs. She entered the palace.

When Qin Zhi arrived at the Pepper Room, he asked Zhang Deli to stop the eunuch at the door from going to inform the queen, and entered the Pepper Room silently.

He first went to visit the Fifth Prince Qin Mingzhang who had fallen into the water. At the Fifth Prince Qin Mingzhang's place, he also met Princess Hengshan who was arguing with the Fifth Prince.

"Why does Mengli want to see Mingyue? It's just a little fight between brothers and sisters. They will forget about it the next day and play together again.

I have just visited Mingzhang and he is in good health. I know you are worried, so please take Mingzhang back to Yutang Palace and ask the imperial physician to come and see him.

As for their conflict, it's not a big deal. The brother and sister have already admitted their mistakes and reconciled in front of me. They won't dare to push and fight each other anymore. Just do what you need to do. "

"Your Majesty!" Fu Mengli stood up holding a handkerchief, with tears in her eyes.

"I know you feel wronged, but Mingzhang is not innocent either. The two siblings played together without any sense of propriety, and they blamed each other when something went wrong. Mingzhang has suffered the consequences, so I will not punish him, Mingyue!"

Qin Zhi looked down at the innocent-looking Princess Qin Mingyue of Hengshan, and suddenly called her name in a stern voice.

"Your son is here." Qin Mingyue raised her eyes and looked at Qin Zhi pitifully.

"You will be confined to the Pepper Room for three months. During this three-month period, you must memorize all the palace rules that I gave you a few days ago. If you cannot memorize them, you will continue to be confined until you have memorized them."

Qin Zhi's attitude was gentle as a drizzle, but the punishment was not that serious. The seemingly light punishment weighed on Qin Mingyue, who was only four years old. She felt like the sky was falling.

But she did not dare to refute, because she followed what her Aunt Xiaoji taught her, played word games to fool Qin Mingzhang, and concealed it from her father.

Although Aunt Xiaoji said that she did not lie, deceiving and cheating are the same thing. In front of the emperor, it is an act of deceiving the emperor.

She had previously reported Qin Mingzhang to her father, and her father had punished Qin Mingzhang by making him recite palace rules. However, her father had not set a time limit, and asking her to supervise him was only giving her a chance to have fun and a playmate of the same age. Now she didn't know when she could get out.

Her younger brothers and sisters were too young, and her mother didn't have the time or energy to care for her. She just let the palace maids and eunuchs play with her, which was boring at all.

"My son, I accept the decree."

After hearing Qin Zhi's punishment, Qin Mingyue's smile froze on her face. After accepting the order and expressing her gratitude, she hid behind Shen Ningyue without saying a word.

Shen Ningyue touched Qin Mingyue's head and did not blame her for anything, nor did she say any words to defend her.

"I heard that Seventeen also sent for the imperial physician? Could it be that Mingyue pissed you off?"

Qin Zhi pulled Qin Mingyue out and held her in his arms, then ruthlessly rubbed her pigtailed hair a few times.

Qin Mingyue quickly raised her hands to protect her hair while crying out for justice.

"No, I am not telling you. Aunt Xiaoji has already told you that your mother is pregnant with a younger brother again. This time, Mingyue will have two younger brothers."

There was a flash of unnaturalness in Shen Ningyue's eyes for a moment.

She and several loyal palace maids around her had indeed known about her pregnancy long before she "fainted" today and asked the imperial physician to come, but they kept it to themselves and did not announce it to anyone.

This was used just when the news came that Princess Hengshan Qin Mingyue had gotten into trouble. Shen Ningyue decisively pretended to faint and called in the imperial physician, revealing that she was pregnant.

How can there be too many coincidences?

Shen Ningyue was worried that something serious had really happened to the Fifth Prince in her Pepper Palace, and the news of her pregnancy was just a good way to provide a buffer.

Even though her happy event would make Fu Mengli hate her more, as long as hatred arises a little, it should be guarded against, so there is no need to worry about the impact continuing to deepen.
