Chapter 227 Becoming a monk?
The white clouds in the sky are drifting leisurely, pushed by the wind, and it is a sunny day with clear sky and nice air.
There was silence in the Zhaozheng Hall. The palace servants and eunuchs did their work quietly and in unison, not daring to make any noise. Qin Zhi was enjoying the cool breeze from the window while reviewing memorials, feeling very comfortable.
"Your Majesty, I have brought Her Royal Highness the Princess of Qi out of the Zongzheng Temple."
Qin Zhi frowned slightly and nodded.
"Send her in."
Outside the palace, Princess Qin Miaoyin of Qi State lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Greetings, my royal brother. May your holy body be in good health!"
Qin Zhi smiled and said, "I haven't heard the Princess of Qi call me brother for a long time. It's a bit strange."
"My Royal Brother, you are joking. No matter how I address you, everyone in Dayong knows that you and I are blood brothers and sisters."
"Since you are my biological sister, why would you do something that would tarnish the reputation of the Yong royal family?"
"Royal brother, how could you not find out that I was wrongly accused?" Qin Miaoyin shed tears in the face of Qin Zhi's somewhat coercive attitude.
"You are not upright yourself, and you still blame others for wrongly accusing you? Did I ask you to harass Meng Xingye?"
"We are young and in love, and I can't help myself. But I really didn't do such ambiguous things with Xingye on the day of Xingye's father's funeral," Qin Miaoyin's words were intermittent, and she looked like she was forbearing something that was difficult to say.
"Your Highness, Princess of Qi, no matter how much you try to argue and shirk responsibility, it is just a futile struggle. After all, your scandal has caused a great deal of trouble in the city, and this is not the first time. I have a suggestion. Would you be so kind as to listen to it?"
Seeing that His Majesty had left the Princess of Qi aside and continued to review memorials, Zhang Deli lowered his voice and whispered softly to Qin Miaoyin.
When Qin Miaoyin heard Zhang Deli's rude interruption, she subconsciously looked up. She secretly glanced at Qin Zhi, who looked as if nothing had happened and had no intention of blaming Zhang Deli, and then lowered her head to hide the unhappiness on her face and in her heart.
"Please enlighten me, Eunuch Zhang."
"I don't deserve your advice. Your Royal Highness Princess Qi, you are too kind."
Zhang Deli's tone and attitude at this time were humble and respectful, but the words he said were so unpleasant to the ear. Qin Miaoyin's eyes were full of hypocrisy, but she could only endure it.
"Your Highness, your romantic scandals have been spreading in the capital since you divorced your former husband, Ma Lin. Your reputation is not just yours alone. The Yong royal family is a role model for the world. You,"
Qin Miaoyin couldn't help but interrupt Zhang Deli's high-sounding accusations and said, "Could you please get to the point, Eunuch Zhang? I'm used to hearing those clichés of yours."
Qin Zhi herself gave birth to the ninth prince, the eldest son, with the empress during the empress dowager's mourning period, and only patched up the matter afterwards. Anyone who believes in the so-called empress dowager's teachings is a fool. Just because she is a powerless and helpless princess, even a servant dares to scold her in front of her?
"Your Highness, what I mean is that you might as well give up the title of Princess of Qi and become a nun." Zhang Deli just smiled and said frankly.
Qin Miaoyin stood up suddenly and said angrily, "Why? I am the eldest princess of Qi State in Dayong. I am undoubtedly of royal blood. No one can deprive me of my dignity. You are just a slave. What right do you have?"
"Whether you give up the title of Princess of Qi or not, your dignity is unquestionable. If my words make you feel uncomfortable, it is my fault."
Zhang Deli lowered his head, his expression submissive and humble, showing great humility.
"Your Majesty, my brother, I do not want to become a nun. You are the one who told me my true life story. Please take my life story into consideration and have mercy on me."
After Qin Miaoyin's rage, she regained her senses and knelt down with a bang. She put her forehead on the ground, prostrating herself on the ground, and sobbed.
Qin Miaoyin knew very well that in front of Qin Zhi, her background as the daughter of the Emperor's grandfather was much more important than her background as the daughter of his father, because Qin Zhi's relationship with the Emperor's grandfather was deeper than his relationship with his father.
And she is Qin Zhi’s aunt, so she is the elder after all, right?
Qin Miaoyin's eyes flickered with uncertainty, but she still held on to a glimmer of hope. Perhaps she could win the sympathy of her brother Qin Zhi?
