Chapter 82 The beauty's name is Qin 9wei
"Jiuwei, we are half-sisters! You have to save me! You have to save me!"
Qin Le'an's face was streaked with tears, her makeup was already ruined by the tears, and her eyes were full of fear and pleading.
Only after entering the palace did I realize that there were so many ways to torment people there.
She really didn't want to be punished anymore...
As long as she wasn't punished, she was willing to abandon her pride and beg Qin Jiuwei in a humiliating way.
Qin Le'an was confident that this humiliation was only temporary. Once she became empress, she would take back all the humiliation she had suffered today.
She will remember this day forever!
Gao Yunzhi's eyebrows twitched slightly. So the beauty's name was Jiuwei. Now she finally knew what her name was.
They're actually sisters?
Gao Yunzhi glanced at Qin Le'an, then turned to look at Qin Jiuwei, and couldn't help but click her tongue.
But their appearances... are worlds apart.
Moreover, this woman is Jiuwei's older sister, and yet she bullies her like this—it's even more outrageous! Her crime is compounded!
Qin Jiuwei's eyes were cold, and she didn't say a word, just quietly watching her.
Seeing that she didn't react, Qin Le'an couldn't help but panic.
Ever since the day she snatched Qin Jiuwei's hairpin, she has understood her less and less.
How exactly did she intend to punish her? The fear of the unknown made Qin Le'an tremble even more violently, and she could barely utter a coherent sentence.
"Little sister, I just... I was just confused for a moment, that's why I did such a wrong thing. You've always been kind-hearted, you wouldn't bear to see your older sister being severely punished... right?"
Her hair was disheveled and fell on both sides of her face, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked disheveled and miserable.
Qin Jiuwei's expression was icy cold, and she lowered her eyes slightly.
His gaze fell on Qin Le'an, who was begging for mercy, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
Sister? Ha.
When Qin Le'an bullied her and stole her things when they were little, she never imagined that she was her older sister.
Having been bullied by Qin Le'an and Li Shi for so many years, she had long since resigned herself to not having this older sister.
She felt no pity for Qin Le'an, but to outsiders, Qin Le'an was, after all, her elder sister.
If she were to actually punish Qin Le'an, she would inevitably give others grounds for criticism.
Her status as Xie Yanli's wife has already attracted a lot of attention; does she really want to hand someone a knife?
She wouldn't do something so stupid.
Qin Jiu turned her gaze to Gao Yunzhi, her eyes calm and unwavering.
But for some reason, Gao Yunzhi immediately understood Qin Jiuwei's meaning.
She wanted her to speak up and punish Qin Le'an.
That makes sense, since they are sisters. If they were to say it out loud, they would definitely be gossiped about by busybodies in the future.
They say Qin Jiuwei disregards blood ties and is a ruthless woman.
How could she let such a beauty get caught up in such gossip?
Gao Yunzhi nodded to Qin Jiuwei, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
Then she raised her eyebrows slightly and parted her lips, "Consort Qin has committed an act of insubordination and offended this princess. Drag her away and give her twenty heavy lashes as a warning to others."
Qin Le'an's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she let out a desperate scream: "No! Princess, Jiuwei, please!"
She doesn't want to be punished! She doesn't want to!
Consort Xian almost burst out laughing when she saw Qin Le'an's loss of composure.
A despicable woman like Qin Le'an needs to be severely punished to teach her a lesson! Let her know what kind of person she is!
Let's see if she dares to seduce the Emperor again!
Since the eldest princess had already spoken, she didn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
Consort Xian, with her haughty expression, flicked the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Consort Qin, don't forget that you still have to copy scriptures for me today."
After saying that, she turned to the nanny beside her and instructed, "After Consort Qin has been flogged, carry her directly to my side hall to copy scriptures. Let her reflect on her mistakes. If she is even slightly negligent, she will be punished twice as severely tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Qin Le'an's already distorted face became even more desperate.
She opened her mouth, but could only let out a weak whimper, as if she had exhausted even the strength to beg for mercy.
The guards immediately stepped forward and lifted Qin Le'an, who was lying on the ground in terror, up like a chick.
Soon after, the dull thud of the board hitting the ground and the woman's screams rang out.
One blow after another, the sound filled the ears of the crowd, who couldn't help but shrink back in fear.
The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs all lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound.
Xie Jing glanced at the spot where Qin Le'an had been hit by the cane, raised his eyebrows slightly, and felt relieved.
"Your name is Qin Jiuwei?" With the annoying fly gone, Gao Yunzhi couldn't wait to speak with the beauty.
Her eyes were smiling, and two adorable dimples appeared at the corners of her lips.
Qin Jiuwei was momentarily dazed.
In her past life, it was also in the Imperial Garden, and they had the same conversation. Yunzhi looked at her with the same smile.
Her cloud branch has returned.
After regaining her senses, she nodded slightly, and at the same time made a silent resolution in her heart.
In this life, she will never let anything happen to Yunzhi!
"Who are you?" Gao Yunzhi's gaze fell on Xie Jing.
This is what the young boy just told her about Jiuwei being bullied.
What did he call Jiuwei just now... Mother!
Gao Yunzhi blinked and looked at the two of them, although the young boy was also very handsome.
But looking at these two from left to right, they didn't seem like mother and son at all.
Xie Jing's fair face was as gentle as jade. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, my name is Xie Jing. I am my mother's adopted son, not her biological son."
Gao Yunzhi suddenly realized, "No wonder."
She then pulled Qin Jiuwei aside and asked her many questions in detail, and finally learned the truth.
The beauty's name was Qin Jiuwei, and she married the heir of the Marquis's mansion, Xie.
Gao Yunzhi nodded in satisfaction. That's more like it. A beautiful woman should be paired with a handsome man!
Xie Yanli was exceptionally handsome and skilled in both literature and martial arts.
Only someone like him could be worthy of her beauty!
A pavilion not far away.
"Princess, the autumn banquet has begun, and we should take our seats now."
Yu'er said softly, "This is a banquet hosted by the Princess, we really can't refuse her."
Gao Shuyu raised her eyes listlessly.
A banquet? That's really boring.
All she wanted was to thank the young master…
Yu'er sighed softly. Ever since the poetry gathering that day, the princess had been in a bad mood, and even the prince had noticed it.
Therefore, the prince insisted that the princess attend the eldest princess's autumn banquet.
“Princess,” Yu’er said, recalling the news she had just heard, “the wife of the Heir Apparent Xie is also attending this poetry gathering…”
Upon hearing this, Gao Shuyu immediately looked up, her eyes narrowing slightly.
That woman came too?!
The banquet was decorated in a very elegant manner, yet it was still quite luxurious.
Light gauze curtains swayed gently in the wind, and a brocade carpet with exquisite patterns was laid on the ground.
None of the noble ladies were first-timers, and they quickly found their seats.
Qin Jiuwei found her seat and was about to sit down when she suddenly heard a soft voice calling her name, "Jiuwei".
She looked up and saw Gao Yunzhi, who was sitting in the main seat, smiling at her. "Come, sit next to me."
