Chapter 90

The two walked outside the Taihe Palace, Pan Chen obviously felt that the eldest princess was a little restrained, and deliberately walked very close to her, giving the eldest princess some encouragement, Pan Chen actually wondered in his heart, why are they also brother and sister, but the difference in personality between Qi Mozhou and the eldest princess will be so big, is it because Qi Mozhou grew up in the barracks, if Qi Mozhou also grew up in Dadu like the eldest princess, will it be the same personality as the eldest princess?

Today is still Fu Ning on duty, Fu Ning stepped forward to greet Pan Chen, and said to the eldest princess on the side:

"Eldest princess, long time no see."

The eldest princess knew Fu Ning, who was almost thirty years old, and was still a little shy, nodded to Fu Ning, and then returned to Pan Chen's side, Fu Ning knew her character, and was not surprised, so she turned to Pan Chen and said: "Niangniang didn't say that she was coming today, and the emperor asked Gonggong Li to send someone to see if Niangniang got up." ”

Pan Chen's face turned red: "The emperor summoned the eldest princess, and I followed me over to drink tea." ”

Fu Ning smiled and made a 'please' gesture to them, the eldest princess glanced at Pan Chen, who was smiling brightly, and followed her to the inner hall, Li Shun walked out from behind the door and saluted them.

Qi Mozhou just came back from the court, just changed out of his court clothes, wearing his favorite dark gold dragon pattern, walked out of the dormitory, and happened to meet Pan Chen and the eldest princess who came to the palace at the door, first looked Pan Chen up and down, and finally fell in her eyes, stared for a moment and then decisively turned to the eldest princess, Qi Mozhou stepped forward, and said to the eldest princess in an affectionate tone:

"Why didn't the eldest sister know with me before entering the palace, so I sent someone to pick you up."

Pan Chen was a little surprised by Qi Mozhou's enthusiasm and familiarity, but the eldest princess was obviously restrained, and wanted to come forward to salute, but was stopped by Qi Mozhou first, holding the eldest princess's arm, and invited her into the palace, Pan Chen stood still, Qi Mozhou walked two steps, looked back at her again, and handed a 'not yet up' look, Pan Chen followed up, grinning at Qi Mozhou, and Qi Mozhou turned his head.

"Eldest sister doesn't have to be polite in front of me." Qi Mozhou helped the eldest princess to sit on the chair of the first prince of his dragon case, and spoke to the eldest princess with unusual enthusiasm, such a gentle Qi Mozhou Pan Chen seemed to be the first time to see it, and then deeply experienced the classic sentence describing Hu Huo - no man is cold, but he is not warm to you.

The eldest princess was very moved by the emperor's enthusiasm, and seemed to ease some of her uneasy feelings a little: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities to worry about, and I have nothing to worry about, so why bother the emperor." ”

After Qi Mozhou heard her say this, he rarely laughed: "What did the eldest sister say, why should our sister and brother say more, if it wasn't for the eldest sister back then, I'm afraid I will ...... it."

Having said this, Qi Mozhou didn't continue to speak, but the eldest princess could understand it, the sisters and brothers looked at each other and smiled, Pan Chen took a piece of dim sum and nibbled on it in small bites, observing them, Qi Mozhou noticed her sight, turned his head to look at her, Pan Chen hurriedly avoided his gaze again, Qi Mozhou ignored her, but continued to ask the eldest princess:

"These elder sisters have rarely entered the palace, I have just succeeded to the throne, there are too many things at hand, and I can't take care of the eldest sister's life, how is the eldest sister doing in the past two years?"

Pan Chen's eyes lit up, and he hoped that the eldest princess would take the opportunity of Qi Mozhou to take the initiative to post an article and tell her what bad things were going on, but to Pan Chen's disappointment, the eldest princess smiled with relief: "It's good." The emperor is busy, and he has taken good care of us, and the big horse is now in the history of the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, which is a gift from the emperor, and our husband and wife are grateful. ”

The eldest princess said these words, she still didn't regard herself as a princess at all, think about it, when Qi Zhengyang ascended the throne, she had been married for many years, although she was invited to Jiankang to canonize the princess and was promoted, but in the heart of the eldest princess, who has been a boudoir lady for more than 20 years, where can she suddenly become a princess's thinking.

If Pan Chen didn't say something for her, maybe the eldest princess would probably not say a word about the family affairs with Qi Mozhou's head when she walked out of the Taihe Palace, Pan Chen coughed dryly, interrupted their sister and brother's reminiscence, and said:

"By the way, in Kangshou Palace before, what happened to the big horse that the Queen Mother and the concubines talked about? Was the matter between the great colt and the little widow true, or was it wronged? ”

When Pan Chen said this, the eldest princess looked at her with some surprise, and wanted to ask Pan Chen why she said this, because in Kangshou Palace before, Pan Chen had already spoken for her from her point of view, saying that she believed in the big horse, but now, ...... The eldest princess received the glance signal from Pan Chen, and immediately understood that Pan Chen actually wanted to help her when she said this.

The eldest princess turned her eyes to look at Qi Mozhou, who was a little puzzled, and only heard Qi Mozhou ask her three questions in a row:

"What's the matter with the big pony? What little widow? Did he do something sorry for you? ”

Qi Mozhou's question made the eldest princess nervous, shook her hand again and again, and said: "No, no, no, it's not the fault of the big horse, the emperor must not misunderstand!" ”

The eldest princess got up from her seat, and after tidying up, she carefully explained to Qi Mozhou: "This is how things are, not long ago, a brother of five cities under the big horse was pulled by a water ghost because his foot was pulled by a water ghost when he dredged the river, and unfortunately drowned in the moat. The family was originally very grateful, the brother's parents also came to the horse house to thank him, and then the big horse sent someone to send a few things and money, I heard that the little widow's brother was idle all day long, no source of livelihood, has been by the dead brother to help live, the big horse took the initiative to let people find a job for the little widow's brother, I thought that this was the case, but I didn't expect that in recent days, the little widow's brother actually came to the door for no reason, saying that it was a big horse...... forcibly occupied his sister-in-law, and had to take his sister as a concubine, and the big horse was not a person who was good at words, where could he explain this truth, and after distinguishing it with the little widow's brother a few times, instead of solving it, it made the matter bigger and bigger. But I didn't expect that it would come to the palace, even the Queen Mother and the ladies of the harem have heard of it, if it weren't for Concubine De Niangniang to relieve me today, I don't know how to face the Queen Mother's questioning. ”

The eldest princess was not as afraid of Qi Mozhou as she was of the queen mother, so she said things clearly before and after, from the cause to the consequences, all of them were clearly explained, Pan Chen also understood it, Qi Mozhou thought about it, and asked the eldest princess in a deep voice:

"Can the eldest sister guarantee the innocence of the big horse in this matter?"

When the eldest princess heard Qi Mozhou ask, she was very anxious: "Of course I can guarantee it!" What kind of honest man is the big horse, the emperor should know, he, how could he do such a beast thing, and then take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the big horse has the heart to mess with flowers and grass, but he will not provoke the widow of his brother, he has always been honest, there is no dispute with people, just care about doing things, that day the river is dredged, he himself went down in person, but he did not expect that the brother would suddenly be pulled by the water ghost, he has no friends in the five cities, after the accident, no one stood up to speak for him, there are people who splash dirty water, But he is not good at words, where can he tell clearly, if others don't believe me, I have nothing to say, but if the emperor doesn't believe it...... I, I really can't help it. ”

After saying these words, the eldest princess sat down on her side and wept secretly, Qi Mozhou saw her crying and wanted to step forward to appease, but the eldest princess seemed to be angry and avoided his hand, Qi Mozhou was helpless, turned his head and glanced at Pan Chen, who was watching the play in Taiping, and glared at him fiercely, so frightened that Pan Chen hurriedly put down the pastry in his hand, Qi Mozhou looked at Pan Chen's gaze and seemed to say: You pick something to settle it.

Pan Chen had no choice but to take out a handkerchief and wipe the pastry crumbs on his hands, then walked up to the eldest princess and handed her the handkerchief, the eldest princess was angry with Qi Mozhou, but she would not be angry with Pan Chen, took Pan Chen's handkerchief, wiped her tears, and then Pan Chen said:

"In fact, this matter, the emperor really shouldn't suspect the big horse, listen to the eldest princess said the cause and effect, the most critical person in this matter, is the little widow's brother, he is idle, has been relying on the big horse to die under the help of the brothers to live, after the brother died, it is equivalent to cutting off his source of life, the emperor think about it, for a lazy person, cutting off the help is equivalent to breaking his life, just at this time, the big horse appeared, for such a person, The kind-hearted big colt is the best object to climb, he wants to take advantage of the kindness of the big pony, let the little widow come forward to frame the big colt to destroy her innocence, innocence This kind of thing is originally a matter of touching the skin up and down, the little widow has just lost her husband, it is when she is afraid of helplessness, she is still so young, and she has just given birth to a child, without a man, how can she live in the future, how should the child live? Therefore, her brother's mention undoubtedly gave her hope for life, as long as she can force the big man to be her concubine, her future life will be saved, in the final analysis, it is a typical classic case of people dying for money, birds dying for food, horizontal and vertical is a dead end, if you don't fight, you will die, and it is possible to be prosperous and rich if you fight, when people are desperate, the moral bottom line is very low, so the little widow cooperates with her brother to slander the big horse, and it makes sense. ”

Pan Chen's words made the eldest princess stop crying, and looked at her blankly, even Qi Mozhou was surprised by Pan Chen's profound analysis of human nature, Pan Chen took a deep breath, looked down at the eldest princess, and continued:

"Besides, even if I didn't have what I said above, wouldn't the emperor still believe in the judgment of the eldest princess on the person next to her pillow for so many years?"
