Chapter 340 Remedy
Listening to Qiu Jincheng's plea for mercy, the Queen Mother's expression did not change at all.
When the time was almost up, she said softly, "Then tell me your remedy."
Qiu Jincheng stopped begging for mercy at this moment, and tidied up his messy hair, and then said, "I will go to apologize to Miss Shan and Madam Shan in a while. I will definitely ask for their forgiveness!"
He only offended the Shan family because of a verbal dispute. As long as he apologized sincerely, he would definitely be forgiven.
"What happened next?" the Queen Mother asked.
He doesn't think that if he apologizes, others will definitely forgive him.
"And then..." Qiu Jincheng really hadn't figured out what to do next.
She was just a woman, she apologized and was forgiven. Of course, she went to propose marriage.
Isn't marriage all about the arrangements of parents and matchmaker?
This is because the Empress Dowager took a liking to me, which is why this meeting took place.
If it were an ordinary time, the couple might just meet for the first time before the bridal chamber.
The Empress Dowager is trying to make it happen, so how could she, a woman, dare to refuse?
From Qiu Jincheng's expression and eyes, the Queen Mother understood his thoughts.
Another self-righteous man.
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and adjusted her mood.
This is the way the world is. Men always occupy the highest positions in the world, and they despise and look down on women from the bottom of their hearts.
They thought all women could be manipulated by them.
"Madam Zhao, I am tired." The Queen Mother really didn't want to say more.
Zhao Ma understood immediately. She quickly stepped forward to help the Queen Mother walk to the back hall, leaving Qiu Jincheng kneeling there alone.
After a while, Nanny Zhao came back alone.
Qiu Jincheng asked boldly, "Excuse me, Madam. This..."
Nanny Zhao raised her hand to interrupt Qiu Jincheng and helped him up personally.
"Thank you, Ma'am." Qiu Jincheng didn't understand the twists and turns here, and was very confused, so he asked, "I wonder what the Empress Dowager means?"
When Nanny Zhao came out again, she sent everyone out of the hall. At this moment, only she and Qiu Jincheng were left in the main hall.
"Mr. Qiu, the Queen Mother is tired and has rested now."
"That thing..."
Madam Zhao raised her hand to interrupt, "I wonder if Master Qiu is willing to listen to what I have to say."
"Madam, please speak." Qiu Jincheng was confused, and he would be more than happy to have someone answer his questions. Moreover, this Madam Zhao was the confidant of the Empress Dowager.
It can be said that in the absence of the Empress Dowager, she can fully represent the presence of the Empress Dowager.
Qiu Jincheng didn't dare to be disrespectful.
"It's better if both parties are willing to help. If that's not possible, there are other ways." There was a strong temptation in Aunt Zhao's eyes.
"What does Mammy mean?" Qiu Jincheng thought of a possibility, but he was not sure.
"Mr. Qiu is a smart man, and this woman's reputation is too high. Mr. Qiu should be careful with his words and actions." After saying that, Madam Zhao stuffed a package into Qiu Jincheng's hand, and then pretended nothing had happened and sent Qiu Jincheng to the side hall to meet Lin Yuanshen.
Lin Yuanshen was extremely nervous in the side hall. He originally just wanted to show off himself. He didn't expect it to end up like that.
I had originally planned to leave the palace directly, but I didn't expect to be brought to this place.
No matter how stupid he was, he knew that he had done something stupid.
Just when he was at a loss, Qiu Jincheng was brought back.
He immediately rushed forward and asked, "Brother Qiu, are you okay? ! "
"Thank you, Brother Lin, for your concern. It's okay." Qiu Jincheng had completely returned to his usual self. It was hard to tell that he had been kowtowing and begging for mercy in the main hall not long ago.
Seeing that everyone else had left, Lin Yuanshen leaned close to Qiu Jincheng's ear and asked, "The Queen Mother didn't make things difficult for you, did she?!" When Qiu Jincheng was taken away, he was really scared. He was afraid that he would be the next one.
Now that he saw Qiu Jincheng returned safely, he finally felt relieved.
"Thank you, Brother Lin. It's really okay. The Queen Mother is very generous. She has forgiven my rashness." Qiu Jincheng is now very confident. It is completely different from before.
"That's good, that's good." Lin Yuanshen finally felt relieved.
Qiu Jincheng was forgiven for offending the eldest daughter and young lady of the Shan family. I just stood up and said a few fair words, so I shouldn't be remembered.
"Brother Lin, the banquet is about to begin, let's go quickly." Qiu Jincheng pulled Lin Yuanshen and was about to go out.
This would not be a problem for Lin Yuanshen.
Now that things have come to this, shouldn’t we just leave?
This is good for both parties. With time to relax, they can put aside their past grudges when they meet again next time.
But wouldn't it be embarrassing if I went there like this now?!
However, Qiu Jincheng's actions were much faster than Lin Yuanshen's thoughts. Before he could say no, he had already followed Qiu Jincheng out of the side hall.
Royal study room.
Eunuch Guo reported every detail of the news he received to Emperor Chengtian.
Emperor Chengtian's hand, which was originally practicing calligraphy, suddenly stopped. "You mean, Madam Shan hit Qiu Jincheng?!"
"Your Majesty, yes. I heard he slapped her twice." Eunuch Guo was so angry when he spoke. This Madam Shan is really brave.
Although Qiu Jincheng himself held a low-ranking official position, his father was the Imperial Censor of the current dynasty.
Can you mess with the people in the Censorate? When they have nothing to do, they can always find something to do. If...
I don’t dare to think about it.
Emperor Chengtian laughed instead, "Well done! This Qiu Jincheng speaks without thinking, he should be taught a lesson."
Eunuch Guo looked up in horror, very puzzled. How could His Majesty the Emperor laugh at this moment?!
"What? Don't you think Qiu Jincheng deserves to be beaten?" Emperor Chengtian asked when he saw Eunuch Guo's expression.
"Of course not." Eunuch Guo immediately denied, "Mr. Qiu should be taught a lesson for being so out of control. "The first rule for a concubine to save her life is to never go against her boss.
Eunuch Guo has served the Emperor for decades and is well versed in this.
Therefore, no matter whether it was three years ago when His Majesty the Emperor suddenly had the idea to change the font to practice, which delayed a lot of important work, or now when he praised Madam Shan for beating someone, he must support her!
