Consort Xian tried to suppress her emotions, but Noble Consort Qing really did not accuse her. She even felt annoyed as she never expected things to evolve out of hand.
She was merely quarreling with Noble Consort Qing as usual. They provoked her, which caused the situation to turn serious. However, honestly, she was not the one feeling wronged.
"Your Majesty, it's my fault, but..."
Before she could finish speaking, the Emperor said, "You know it's your fault too. Actually, there's no need for all these troubles. Didn't you claim that Princess Consort Xiao is an illiterate illegitimate child?"
"Princess Consort Xiao, write a few words for her. If you can't, the accusation is true."
The Emperor stopped speaking, but everyone knew that if she could write, Qian Jiujiu was truly a legitimate child of the Qian family.
Then, Consort Xian had accused her. Everyone wondered how the Emperor would punish her if so.
Soon, a eunuch brought a brush and paper over. "Princess Consort Xiao, here you go."
Qian Jiujiu stared at the items before her and asked, "Imperial father, what should I write?"
After a moment of contemplation, he replied, "Write any poem you like."
Qian Jiujiu deliberated for some time and started writing. Each stroke was clear and precise, the words she wrote were almost textbook-like.
The Emperor could not help nodding at her handwriting. Qian Jiujiu had written the Four Gentlemen Decoction recipe instead.
"Four Gentlemen Decoction is neutral and light, compared to Ginseng, Chinese root, and Chinese licorice. It can also be named the Six Gentleman. It can eliminate phlegm, and revitalizes Qi or be consumed with herbs for gastric problems."
After writing that, Qian Jiujiu placed her brush down. Meanwhile, the Emperor looked at Consort Xian and said, these are the words written in front of you, do you want her to read it aloud as well?"
From her handwriting, the Emperor knew that she was used to the brush. Hence, Qian Jiujiu truly knew how to write.
Consort Xian stared at Madam Qian menacingly and was certain that she had lied to her. "Your Majesty, I know it's my fault now."
"I will never do this again, Your Majesty."
Seeing that, the Emperor sneered. "Since you know it, it's fine. Empress, how should we handle this?"
The Empress glanced at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Since Princess Consort Xiao was slandered today, we'll make Consort Xian repay her. Furthermore, Consort Xian will be grounded for a month, so that she can copy the scripture and enhance her mind."
The Emperor nodded and looked at Qian Jiujiu, "Princess Consort Xiao, what do you think of this punishment?"
No doubt, she had no objections. "I agree with whatever the Empress suggested."
The Empress grunted satisfactorily. "Then, we can all return. I'm a bit tired now, so everyone, please leave."
The Emperor looked at her with concern, before dismissing everyone else. "Everyone else, return. I'll stay here."
The Empress seemed kind and gentle. "Thank you for Your Majesty's concern. However, since Prince Xiao and Princess Consort Xiao is here, you should visit Sister Qing's palace and have a reunion."
"I can see that the princess consort is a great person, so go."
The Emperor answered with a frown. "Alright, have a good rest then. I'm going now."
