Chapter 40: Protecting the Short

On the third day of December, the emperor's birthday, the crown prince brought the princess and the side concubine, and the king took the princess and the side concubine to the palace to attend the banquet.

The two people met in the palace garden, King Shun saluted the crown princess, Princess Shun stood behind King Shun, she raised her head high with arrogance on her face, and a pair of eyes squinted at the crown princess and the crown princess. King Shun didn't see Princess Shun's rudeness, so he took someone and left first.

Princess Shun saw that King Shun went first, she stared at the princess, her mouth was deflated, and then she looked at the prince's side concubine, who was also her sister-in-law, and she said disdainfully: "You are still the same as in the past, you can't get on the stage." The side concubine bowed her head and saluted Princess Shun, then took a step back and ignored Princess Shun

Seeing that Princess Shun was ignored by her sister-in-law, Concubine Huang laughed on the side. Princess Shun was furious, she was already upset by a group of jealous women in the mansion, and when she entered the palace, she was ignored by the concubine she had looked down on since she was a child, she immediately jumped up and stretched out her hand to pull Concubine Wei's face.

Feng Ling took a step forward and gently grabbed her hand: "How can the people of the Prince's Mansion allow you to bully?"

Princess Shun turned her head and scolded Feng Ling: "The dog bites the mouse and meddles in things, and this concubine disciplines her sister-in-law, it's your business?"

Feng Ling sneered: "When she marries into the Prince's Mansion, she is not only your sister-in-law, she is also the side concubine of the Prince's Mansion." ”

Princess Shun was angry, and she grabbed Feng Ling's face with her other hand. Feng Ling took a step and grabbed Princess Shun's hand, and the people present only heard a scream, followed by the sound of the pool entering the water. Everyone was stunned to find that Princess Shun had fallen into the pool, and no one saw how Feng Ling threw Princess Shun into it.

Feng Ling clapped his hands: "What's the fuss? If you don't save her, you guys are going to go and get the corpse." ”

A group of people hurriedly rushed to the edge of the pond, and a few mothers-in-law who knew how to water jumped down and hurriedly fished up Princess Shun. Princess Shun was fished up like a drowning chicken, she was angry, frightened and afraid, she said hatefully: "Come on, come on, go and report to the concubine's mother and grandmother." ”

Feng Ling chuckled: "You are in such good spirits, it seems that you haven't drunk enough water." In the future, if you dare to be presumptuous in front of this concubine, this concubine will throw you into the sky like a kite. If you don't believe me, try to see if you're so lucky next time. ”

Jing Hong said thoughtfully: "Are Ling'er's hands tired, I'll help you rub them." ”

Feng Ling nodded and stretched out her hand: "She's too fat, my hands are tired." ”

Concubine Wei stepped forward: "The concubine rubbed the hands of the crown princess." It was the incompetence of the concubine that made the crown princess suffer. ”

Feng Ling took her hand: "I don't care how you are bullied at home, now that you have entered the prince's mansion, if you are bullied again, won't you slap the concubine and the prince in the face?"

She looked at Princess Shun: "If you want her to lose her hair in the future, I will make you bald." ”

Feng Ling pulled Jing Hong with his left hand and Concubine Wei with his right hand, and left without looking back. Princess Shun was so angry that she fainted.

This incident that happened in the Imperial Garden was quickly spread in the palace, and the palace eunuchs who came and went looked at Feng Ling with awe.

Feng Ling whispered a lesson to Concubine Wei: "Learn to be strong, don't be weak and let people bully." ”

Concubine Wei replied respectfully: "The concubine obeys orders." ”

Feng Ling thought for a while: "You are still young, and it is still too late to learn some self-defense techniques, so I will find someone to teach you." ”

Concubine Wei was pleasantly surprised: "The concubine must do her best." ”

Feng Ling said: "Only when you are strong can you not be bullied." You are now the prince's side concubine, someone bullied you, you fight back, and if something happens, there is a concubine and the prince......"

The people behind her didn't hear it, she was protecting her shortcomings.

Concubine Wei lowered her head, tears falling from her eyes. She quickly touched her tears with a handkerchief and returned to normal. In the palace, this place is going to bring trouble to the prince's mansion.

Wei is the granddaughter of the eldest princess, and her biological mother is Mrs. Wei's maid. She has a spoiled brother on her, two older sisters born to her father's favored concubines and named concubines, and a younger sister who is equally unfavored by her. Therefore, she is the least valued one in the house, bullied by her brothers and sisters everywhere, and is always treated slowly by her subordinates.

Concubine Wei has known that she has to rely on herself for everything since she was a child, and her wife can protect her for a while, but she can't protect her all the time, let alone protect her forever.

Therefore, when she faced the crown princess Feng Ling's blatant protection of her, her heart hurt as if she was grabbed, she and the crown princess were not related, and she would share the same man with her in the future. But the crown princess did not feel hostile to herself, but protected her and cared for her.

This deeply touched Wei's lack of care since childhood. At this moment, she decided that she was the only princess and would never rob her of anything, including the crown prince. This decision lightened her heart a little.

People who lack love will always be touched by a little care from others, and they are willing to sacrifice everything they have to repay. This is a kind of gratitude, but it is also a kind of sadness.

The queen listened to the report of her subordinates and knew what happened in the imperial garden, and she was very angry that Feng Ling so openly humiliated Princess Shun. In her opinion, the humiliation of Princess Shun is the humiliation of King Shun, that is, the humiliation of herself, and the humiliation of the future queen.

The crown prince took his crown princess and side concubines into the Liangyi Hall, which was full of imperial relatives and ministers of the court, and everyone stood up and respectfully saluted the prince: "Your Highness is well." ”

The crown prince beckoned everyone to sit down, and he took the crown princess and the side concubine to sit in the first seat on the left hand, and his next seat was King Shun and his yellow side concubine, and then the next seat was the third prince.

The three princes politely complied with each other, and in the middle of the courtesy, the eunuch shouted: "Your Majesty, the mother has arrived." The crowd stood up and saluted, shouting, "Long live the emperor, long live the queen." ”

The emperor raised his hand and said, "Flatten." ”

After His Majesty and Niangniang sat down, everyone also sat down gently, and the Liangyi Hall was silent. His Majesty raised his glass and drank it, signaling everyone to feel free.

The crisp sound of wine cups and chopsticks sounded in the Liangyi Hall. Attending the palace banquet is an honor, not the best place to taste the food, in the palace banquet, the dishes are cold, the wine does not dare to drink unbridledly, and you have to speak softly. Everyone ate at home before they came, in case they were rude at the feast.

Feng Linggui sat at the table, she didn't eat anything, and the queen on the throne glanced at her and said, "Crown princess, why don't you eat?

His Majesty frowned, he had long been disgusted with the Empress. When the queen sent people to kill the five princes in waves, His Majesty completely hated her.

Feng Ling stood up, saluted respectfully, stood up straight and said, "After returning to my mother, my son's son was taking food elimination pills because he hurt his stomach because of his gluttony yesterday, so he didn't eat today. Thank you for your concern for her sons. ”

The queen was trying to continue to find Feng Ling's fault in order to vent the anger in her heart.

His Majesty interrupted her when he spoke: "What about Concubine Shun, why didn't you come today?" Your Majesty adheres to the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and protects the crown princess.

In the past, he didn't like the crown prince, let alone the crown princess, but now because the queen hates them, His Majesty feels that he doesn't hate the couple so much.

Seeing His Majesty ask about Princess Shun, the queen almost spurted out a mouthful of blood again. Can you tell the reason why Princess Shun didn't come on this occasion?

King Shun stood up, saluted His Majesty respectfully, and replied, "The princess is not in good health and is recuperating in the palace. ”

His Majesty nodded: "Recuperate well, let me hold my grandson as soon as possible." He looked at Queen Tieqing's face, his mood was extremely refreshing, and he laughed out loud.

All those present raised their glasses and cheered: "I wish Your Majesty a long life!"
