Marquis Chenyuan's family was really being unlucky. Engaging with the mansion of King Changle was not a good thing to come at when they were in such a complicated situation.
If the family of Marquis Chenyuan was victorious to be able to behave arbitrarily, the situation has changed.
This family was a close relative of the late Consort Sui. Luckily they were still able to survive because Concubine Sui paid for her own deeds with her life. Now, the prestige of this noble family was in decline and many imperial city officials distanced themselves from them.
Oh, what a disaster is this.
Jiang Jiwei, the first son of Marquis Chenyuan had to bear the responsibility of the family. His father had long gone to the border to become a military superintendent and had not returned in a long time.
All the affairs of the residence of Marquis Chenyuan fell into his hands. Now, he had to bear the blame of his nephew, Jiang Wen who had offended Prince Manyue and Princess Empress Changle.
Regretfully, he knelt down in the mansion hall to apologize for the mistake of his little nephew who had fought with Baili Wuyuan.
Jiang Jiwei was told that his nephew had offended the imperial nobility and acted recklessly by deploying guards to capture them. Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiwei almost fainted.
If he did not obtain the pardon of King Changle, how could he possibly obtain the pardon of Emperor Baili?
The Emperor was already quite angry over Consort Sui's involvement with Consort Sun's widow who had conspired to harm the harem. If hearing the relatives of his former concubine offend his first son, it was possible that the entire residence of Marquis Chenyuan would be flattened to the ground.
“You apologize for what?” baili Qingchen asked in surprise when she saw Jiang Jiwei kneeling on the floor of her hall.
“Your Highness, my little nephew has acted disrespectfully and offended Her Highness the Princess and Prince Manyue. As the eldest son in charge of the family, I have failed to educate my nephew to this much courage. Please Your Majesty be merciful and forgive the family of Marquis Chenyuan.”
The news had already reached Baili Qingchen's ears since a few hours ago. Baili Qingchen simply did not expect that Jiang Jiwei would come this fast.
When the late Consort Sui was still alive and influential in the harem, the family of Marquis Chenyuan puffed out his chest and boasted of living under the names of Consort Sui and Marquis Chenyuan. They sometimes complicate Baili Qingchen several times in court, although it is not effective.
Looking at the current situation, that good opportunity had already come. Baili Qingchen has a desire to teach this family a lesson. However, it means that he is completely immoral, stepping on people when his glory has fallen and is not a commendable act.
Baili Qingchen simply sighed. Sitting quietly in his chair, he was still staring at Jiang Jiwei with his cold eyes. This family issue is related to him in the past, it could not be taken into account.
But, they had offended his little granddaughter and empress. Baili Qingchen could also take it off, but not with those two people.
“So, your nephew has been fighting with Prince Manyue?”
“She has snatched the tanghulu sweets from the hands of Prince Manyue. Besides not pleading guilty, he also said very rudely and insulted the Prince and Princess Empress. This sin we will bear, but please forgive us and forgive our lives.”
“Are you negotiating with me?” baili Qingchen asked coldly.
Jiang Jiwei shook his head quickly. No, that's not what it means. Jiang Jiwei still cherished his life and he would try not to anger King Changle. Other than Emperor Baili, this person was the one who entered the royals list that should not be offended.
His little niece was really troublesome. Already knew the family of Marquis Chenyuan was in trouble, even troublemaking and acting like an employer. He had no idea who he was dealing with.
King Changle was very pampering for his empress, and he was also very fond of his little granddaughter who had just arrived at the palace some time ago. Offending them was the same as offending them!
“Marquis Chenyuan doesn't have many grandchildren. If His Majesty punishes Jiang Wen, it will be difficult for him to establish a future in the future. Your Majesty, you are wise and airy-hearted. I represent my father begging for mercy for the life of Marquis Chenyuan.”
Baili Qingchen thought for a moment. As a State Supervisor, he thought about the situation as a whole. The family of Marquis Chenyuan was loyal from generation to generation, and had served the imperial family in the past decades.
Jiang Wen seemed to have talent and courage. If well forged and directed according to the path, the little boy might be useful to become a pillar of the country in the future. Besides, he's a little kid. Calling sweets is no big deal. As for the big matter regarding the fights and siege by those guards, he would take care of it separately.
“If you want me to forgive him, then let him enter the palace and stay there as Baili Wuyuan's study partner! Also, apologize directly to my Granddaughter and Princess Empress.”
After saying that, Baili Qingchen left. Jiang Jiwei still had no time to react, as if he was hovering between two ravines. Did he not hear wrong?
King Changle, just now said that if his nephew, Jiang Wen, if he wanted to obtain a pardon, would have to enter the palace and become Prince Manyue's study companion?
This is not a punishment, but a blessing!
“Your Highness, what does Your Majesty mean?”
Jiang Jiwei raised his head, yet Baili Qingchen's figure had already completely disappeared. Cui Kong was still standing at the back, then helping Jiang Jiwei to get him to stand up immediately. “Your Majesty has said it clearly. Young Master Jiang, please come back.”
Qingyi, who already knew there would be an end like this chose to sleep in the western courtyard garden. He had left this matter to Baili Qingchen and whatever the man's decision was, he would not say anything. Qingyi only advised him if the man should think carefully about everything.
Indirectly, it was he who had given way to the family of Marquis Chenyuan himself. It was Qingyi who had made Baili Qingchen give that decision. The girl was not as naive and arrogant as she looked, her madness was indeed real, yet she did not trap.
At his side, Baili Wuyuan also lay down hugging Qingyi's waist.
The large recliner creaked whenever a small movement occurred from the person using it. When Baili Qingchen came there, the small smile on her face rose involuntarily.
That aura brought a positive impact to the western courtyard atmosphere, then the flowers began to sway with the wind.
“Uncle Grandpa, are you here?”
Baili Wuyuan moved his small eyes to see more clearly. His voice is a little hoarse. Baili Qingchen instructed that the small rice ball would slow down the sound and not disturb Qingyi's sleep. The rice ball is small according, and he stays in his position.
“Jiang Wen will be your study partner,” said Baili Qingchen. Baili Wuyuan nodded.
“Oh, I've expected. My aunt said I could hit anyone who bothered me. If he becomes my study partner, I have someone as my training tool.”
“Do not torture him. I forgive him so he can be your accomplice.”
“Good. Up to Uncle Grandpa.”
Baili Qingchen was also somewhat surprised by the thought of this brat. Who has taught him violence and legalized beatings?
“Now, return to the palace,” said Baili Qingchen. Baili Wuyuan shook his head.
“No. I'll spend the night here. By the way, Uncle Grandpa, have you also been bitten by an insect?”
“Ah?” Baili Qingchen asked in surprise.
“Both sides of your neck are red. The mark is the same as having an aunt. How insolent that insect!”
As for who exactly the insect was, only Baili Qingchen and Qingyi knew.
