Chapter 88
Pan Chen got up from the bed the next day with his waist on his back, and once again felt the pressure of the lone pet of the six palaces.
Duan's father-in-law of Kangshou Palace came over routinely, and after Pan Chen drank the medicine, Duan's father-in-law passed on the queen mother's decree to Pan Chen, saying that the eldest princess had entered the palace, and invited Concubine De Niangniang and the ladies of the palace to go to Kangshou Palace together.
Pan Chen has long thought that the princes from other places have come back, and the eldest princess who lives in Jiankang will definitely come over, last time she and Li Shun inquired about the people of the Qi family, and also knew something about the eldest princess Qi Yunzhi, she is Qi Zhengyang's first daughter, not the queen mother's relatives, but she grew up next to the queen mother, when she married, Qi Zhengyang had not yet entered Jiankang, she was just a young lady from an ordinary official family, married to the eldest son of a general's family under Qi Zhengyang, and later Qi Zhengyang ascended the throne, Qi Yunzhi led the people of her husband's family to live in Jiankang City, her husband's surname is Zhao, and Zhao Xiaoshen will be promoted to three levels after becoming a horse, and now he is the deputy commander of the south gate of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.
After Pan Chen freshened up, he led Xin Dong and Qiu Ping to Kangshou Palace, when she went, almost all the concubines from the other palaces had arrived, and Zhaoyi was not invited, after Pan Chen entered, he saw the Queen Mother's phoenix sitting next to her, sitting a woman in her twenties and thirties, dressed not much graceful and luxurious, also the eldest princess, but it reminded Pan Chen of the eldest princess of the Ning family who had been seen in the Pan family by chance, Ning Yueru's eldest sister, that gorgeous and eager to wear all the jewels in the world on her body, as if on her head.
The eldest princess of the Qi family is not so exaggerated, and her appearance is also a gentle type, hearing the eunuch singing outside the palace, when Pan Chen stepped into the threshold, he clearly saw that the eldest princess's back was straight, which shows that she is a person who understands etiquette, Pan Chen stepped forward to greet the Yan family, and his eyes fell on the eldest princess Qi Yunzhi's body, Qi Yunzhi looked at Pan Chen with interest, and Pan Chen also looked at her from beginning to end.
Judging from Qi Yunzhi's clothes, she should be a low-key and pragmatic woman, and it can be seen that she has been specially dressed up when she enters the palace today, because she will have a very small movement of shaking her sleeves from time to time, and if you look closely, you can see a golden phoenix bracelet on her wrist, so shaking her sleeves shows that she is not used to wearing this bracelet, and there are not too many accessories on her body, even if she wears it, it is relatively ordinary. When saluting each other with Pan Chen, they will bend slightly lower than Pan Chen, and then take the initiative to help Pan Chen, which shows that he is not a competitive character.
"Okay, okay, Sister Yun'er sit down, Concubine De also sit."
Empress Dowager Yan opened her mouth like this, interrupting Pan Chen and Qi Yunzhi's mutual looks. The two exchanged glances together, and there seemed to be a little feeling of familiarity at first sight, Pan Chen sat on the top concubine seat, and Qi Yunzhi said to Pan Chen:
"It's the first time I've seen Concubine De Niangniang, when I was at home, I thought about what Niangniang looked like, and now I see it, it's really a beautiful embryo."
Pan Chen looked at her eyes, did not dodge, full of sincerity, was sincere praise, Pan Chen was just about to answer, when he heard Concubine Ning Shufei say coldly behind him:
"Hehe, it's beautiful, but the most important thing is good kung fu."
Concubine Ning Shufei's words made the eldest princess a little surprised, Pan Chen smiled at her, and said disapprerovingly:
"Don't be surprised by the eldest princess, Concubine Ning Shu is this temper that does not distinguish between dignity and humility, and to this day she is still unsure of her identity, immersed in the past, and it is difficult to extricate herself."
Concubine Ning Shu's face changed drastically, she sat up straight and wanted to reason with Pan Chen, Pan Chen's words were easy to say, but if she listened to it in the ears of someone with a heart, it would cause trouble for her, and she was about to stand up, but was pulled by Pan Xiao from the side, and shouted in a low voice:
"Concubine De still teaches you a lesson? She is the head of the four concubines, and we have to bear everything we have, let alone you, even me...... All had to listen. Sit down. ”
Pan Xiao's voice is not loud, but it can make all the people in Kangshou Palace hear it, since the last time Pan Chen gave Pan Xiao no face in person, it was like tearing through Pan Xiao's disguise mask all along, and his previous temperament of ignoring the world has changed slightly, at least in front of Pan Chen, he is a little more vigilant and not to be outdone.
Pan Chen glanced at her and did not say anything about these words, as if he acquiesced to Pan Xiao's deliberately sarcastic words: We all have to listen to what she says. Pan Xiao just wanted to have a fight with Pan Chen, but Pan Chen was not fooled, and Pan Xiao was helpless.
The eldest princess looked at the arguing between them like this, and looked at Pan Chen with some concern, Pan Chen smiled at her, and the eldest princess also smiled back at her, seeing that Pan Chen ignored other people's sour words, her impression of Pan Chen in her heart was much better, and she smiled at Pan Chen and said:
"I really didn't expect that the emperor would one day pamper a woman like this, don't you know, I took him for more than a year, I still remember that the emperor was only seven or eight years old at that time, I was eleven years old, and I had a bun, and I ate it with him."
After the eldest princess's words came out, she saw that Yan's face changed, and she reminded the eldest princess:
"These old things of the emperor, the eldest princess should not mention them again, and the power of heaven cannot be damaged."
The eldest princess seemed to be a little afraid of the Yan family, and when the Yan family said this, her face turned white with fright, and she responded in a low voice: "Yes." He glanced at Pan Chen apologetically, then shrank back, and stopped talking.
Pan Chen looked at Yan like this, and seemed to not want the eldest princess to talk about what happened back then.
After the eldest princess didn't speak, Yan began to say: "The emperor's birthday is imminent, King Su, the fifth highness and the eldest princess have all entered the palace, in a few days, His Royal Highness King Yu and King Chang will also return to the capital one after another, the third princess is now on the road, these days, the harem concubines need to be more cautious in their words and deeds, do you hear?" ”
Yan's words, even if it was an official announcement, revealed all the things that were originally still covered in gauze, and the concubines got up and said yes, Yan asked everyone to sit down, and then asked the eldest princess:
"Is it good to have a qiē at home? What does the colt do to you? ”
The eldest princess glanced at the Yan family and replied in a low voice: "Empress Dowager Meng is worried, everything in the family is good, and the concubine is very good to me." ”
Yan Shi looked at her, sighed, and said: "You, your temperament is too gentle, the reputation of the concubine in the city during this period is not good, the mourning family knows, don't say good things for him, it's not that the mourning family wants to talk about you, you should also learn the skills of the third princess, you see when the three concubines dare to do bastard things behind the back of the third princess?" ”
Yan's words made the eldest princess bow her head in shame, she seemed a little embarrassed, and it was obvious that she was not very willing to mention this matter too much.
Shen Shuyuan likes to talk about these gossips the most, and may have heard some of the eldest princess's family affairs before, at this time, the queen mother mentioned it, and she just had a place to use: "The concubine also seems to have heard a few rumors, saying that the big concubine is looking for a little widow outside, and she is looking for a job for the widow's brother, who knows that the widow's family is faceless and skinless, holding on to the big horse, and going to the horse mansion, is this true?" ”
Shen Shuyuan is also disproportionate, she knows this kind of thing in private, and now she is still asking in front of the eldest princess, so that the eldest princess can't answer well, she lowered her head in embarrassment, Ning Shufei on Shen Shuyuan's side originally gave Pan Chen a few words before, and she didn't plan to speak, but when she heard what Shen Shuyuan said, she couldn't help but speak again:
"Yo, if this thing is true, the eldest princess is too easy to bully. Did the big colt eat the gall of the ambitious leopard? What do you think you are? Dare to hook up with the little widow outside, this is really not taking the eldest princess seriously. ”
Concubine Ning Shu was not afraid of making things bigger, so she didn't leave any sense when she spoke, and the eldest princess waved her hand helplessly when she heard them say this:
"No, no, it's not all like that, big colt, he'...... He's not that kind of person. ”
The eldest princess seemed to want to explain to the eldest concubine, but the Yan family didn't want to hear her, so she just blindly accused: "What not?" I look at him! Eldest princess, you are too weak, so you let the big horse ride to the head and spread wild, what is his Zhao family? It's just a general, and he has today's fame with nepotism, I don't know how grateful I am, and I actually do such shameless things, after I heard it, I can't wait to send someone to arrest him and castrate, just you're useless, and I don't know if I'm weakly bullied by him. ”
Yan's words made the eldest princess's face even more frightened, but she also seemed to be angry, Pan Chen could see that although the eldest princess was weak, she was still a little angry in the face of everyone's doubts about the big horse. I only heard her pluck up the courage to say to the Queen Mother:
"The queen mother, the big horse is really not that kind of person, the so-called little widow is actually a subordinate of his five cities in the Terracotta Division, the subordinate died unfortunately, leaving the orphan and widow, the big horse took pity on her, sent her things, and did help her brother find a job, these things, the big horse discussed with me before doing it, I am informed, the big horse is by no means what outsiders rumore, the queen mother must not misunderstand."
Although Pan Chen doesn't know whether it is true or false, the logic is quite clear, combined with the weak character of the eldest princess, she can stand up for her husband and say these words to the queen mother who is afraid of her, which is enough to prove the truth of her words.
It's a pity that the queen mother doesn't seem to want to listen to what the eldest princess said, but she just insisted that the eldest concubine was not good, and waved her hand to the eldest princess who wanted to continue to defend the eldest concubine: "Okay, okay, don't say more about this matter for him." Since the little widow made trouble in the Horse Mansion and exposed the crime of the big horse in one mouth, causing such a bad impact, it is to discredit our Qi family, if his Zhao family can't give a good explanation, don't blame the mourning family for not saving face for his Zhao family at that time. ”
"The concubine also thinks that if this matter is really as good as the eldest princess said, then how can it cause this kind of trouble, flies don't bite seamless eggs, a slap can't make a sound, if the big horse really doesn't have any sneaky thoughts, why should people sacrifice his innocence and frame him."
Concubine Ning Shu relied on the weakness of the eldest princess, and echoed a few words of the queen mother's words, completely not afraid of making things bigger, the eldest princess was in a hurry, but she couldn't stop them from talking like that.
