Before Pan Chen could speak, he heard the third princess on the side say, "That's right, how can you explain this to the Ning family?" Concubine Shu suffered such treatment in the palace, you, the person who is temporarily in charge of the harem, can't escape the blame, if you don't stand up and explain it to the Ning family, don't think about causing my mother to suffer for you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The third princess grew up by Yan's side since she was a child, and was pampered by Yan's to grow up, unlike the eldest princess, the third princess's temperament is more jumpy, although she has not had much contact with Pan Chen, but she has heard a lot, not to mention anything else, just say that this woman can make a man like the imperial brother alone, it is enough to be annoying, so she is harsh on Pan Chen.

Yin Xiuzhi quietly observed on the side, and after the third princess finished speaking, she was also waiting to hear how Pan Chen was going to answer, only to see Pan Chen hook her lips and smile:

"I think the third princess and the queen mother may have misunderstood. Concubine Shu's identity is indeed special, but before she said her special identity, her identity was the harem concubine of Daqi, the harem concubine had an accident in the harem, and the reason for the accident was not others, but because she was unfavorable to supervise herself, and she used people incorrectly, which caused bitter fruit for herself, who can blame her? In addition to handing over the murderer, no one in the harem needs to be responsible for the affairs of Concubine Shu, let alone the so-called explanation to the Ning family, although I am just a concubine, but I also know that if today is the world of Daqi, what is the reason for me to let Daqi explain to the Ning family a thing that does not need to be explained at all? The Ning family sent Concubine Shu into the palace to be a concubine for the emperor, not to be a princess, is this the truth? ”

Pan Chen said such a passage without hurry, which surprised the people present again, the Queen Mother Yan frowned, and seemed to realize that her previous question was wrong, and the third princess on the side was also dumbfounded, she wanted to refute Pan Chen's words, but she couldn't refute it, because what Pan Chen said was reasonable, they felt that Concubine Shu's identity was special, and she was sent to the palace by the Ning family, but they ignored one thing, Ning's world was taken away by the Qi family, and even if Concubine Shu was a princess of the previous dynasty, something happened in the palace because of her own problems, then why let the Qi family explain to the Ning family.

It's not that they don't understand this truth, but they haven't thought about it in that way, and they still treat Concubine Shu special in their bones, and they even gave her a lot of privileges in all aspects.

Seeing that they were no longer entangled in this matter, Pan Chen walked up to the Yan family and saluted respectfully: "Queen Mother, this is how things are, if the Queen Mother has no other instructions, the concubine will retire, and in a few days it will be the emperor's birthday, and there are still some finishing matters for me to deal with in the Inner Court Department and the Ministry of Rites, so I won't stay here for long, and the concubine will retire." ”

After saying this, Pan Chen was about to leave, but heard Yin Xiuzhi behind her call her:

"Concubine De stays

。 ”

Pan Chen turned his head to look at her, only to see Yin Xiuzhi come to her with a smile on her face, and said in a friendly tone:

"Before Niangniang mentioned the emperor, I just remembered that when King Yu entered Beijing, he brought back a few sweaty and bloody horses from the fiefdom, saying that he wanted to compare with the horses of the Central Plains, and the emperor invited me to go to the martial arts arena today to watch him race, I wonder if Niangniang is interested in going with me?"

Pan Chen almost wanted to give this green tea some wax, and he still had to keep smiling on the surface:

"Since the emperor invited the girl to go, he naturally wanted to watch with the girl, I didn't dare to join in the fun, there are other things to be busy in the palace, the girl has a good time."

After saying this, Pan Chen nodded to her, and walked out of Kangshou Palace with a calm and indifferent expression, but Yin Xiuzhi, who was going to respond to Pan Chen with this matter, slowly put away the smile on her face, and the third princess came over and said to Yin Xiuzhi:

"Is the emperor watching the horse race in the martial arts arena today? Then I'll go ...... too."

Before she finished speaking, the third princess was shocked by a cold slap handed by Yin Xiuzhi, and she didn't continue to talk about it after saying half a sentence, Yan couldn't help but shake her head and sigh when she saw this:

"Yujiao, the emperor invited Miss Yin to watch the game, what are you going to do, you are so old and confused, stay and copy the scriptures with me."

The third princess was frightened by Yin Xiuzhi, so naturally she would not pester her to go with her, Yin Xiuzhi turned around, saluted the queen mother, and then walked away, the third princess looked at her back and exhaled:

"Why do I think Yin Xiuzhi is looking at me wrong?"

The words of wonder made the Queen Mother unbearable: "When did she look at you with the right eyes?" I told you earlier, don't get too close to Yin Xiuzhi, Yin Wei asked her to come to Jiankang with you, for what? Could it be that you really want to take care of her all the way? Yin Wei, the old fox, wishful thinking shook the sky, an old girl in her twenties, actually dared to come to Xiao Xiang's position as the queen. ”

She just thought about it, if she could really coax the emperor to canonize her, the Yan family would have nothing to say, but this girl was arrogant and didn't know how to be smooth at all, she hadn't been a queen yet, she actually dared to show the princess in front of the queen mother, and his Yin family hadn't taken their Qi family in their eyes yet.

"Mother, did you say that the emperor would crown her as the queen?" The third princess sat next to the Queen Mother and asked in a whisper in Yan's ear. The reason why she takes such a fancy to Yin Xiuzhi is because of this, if she is not a girl from the Yin family, the third princess will not bother to pay attention to her.

Yan didn't answer directly, only sighed and said:

"The emperor's thoughts, who can guess? It stands to reason that the identity of the Yin family is there, there is indeed no more suitable than her, the emperor should have intended it, but you have also seen it, Yin Xiuzhi has lived in the palace for so many days, although the emperor called her to meet every day, but there was not even a little ambiguous meaning, Yin Xiuzhi hinted in every way, but the emperor just didn't answer, and he didn't even reveal the meaning at all. ”

The third princess put the words of the queen mother in her mind and thought about it, it seems that this is indeed the case, if the emperor is interested in Yin Xiuzhi, then after so many days together, he should also express it, and now he doesn't say anything, but he is really anxious.

"The emperor is really, how good is it to say it directly, I see that Yin Xiuzhi is a little anxious these days, talking to her has a strong smell of gunpowder, and she throws her face when she doesn't agree, how can she be so calm in the first few days when she came back?"

The third princess and Yin Xiuzhi have been very close these days, and they can see Yin Xiuzhi's emotional changes most clearly, obviously Yin Xiuzhi has been a lot more impatient when she talks to her these days

The Queen Mother sighed slightly: "Alas, that is, Yun'er is not angry, she has been in the palace for more than a year, and she has not been able to let the emperor favor her, and she has been mixed with Pan Xiao and them all day long, which is really not growing." ”

Yun'er refers to Yan Zhaoyi, the Queen Mother used to have great hopes for her, but she couldn't withstand Yan Zhaoyi's talent limitations.

"When I came back to Jiankang, my uncle asked me to ask you if you want to send two more to the palace." The third princess and the Yan family both live in Dadu.

Yan shook his head: "Don't do it for the time being, I see that the emperor's novelty for Pan Chen has not passed, wait a little longer, when the time is ripe, I will naturally tell the eldest brother." After saying this, Yan turned his head to look at the third princess: "And what's the matter with you and the concubine?" I can hear in Jiankang that you often bully the horse, everything must have a degree, do you understand the meaning of too much? I think the three horses are quite obedient, don't toss too much, do you hear? ”

The third princess was mentioned by the Queen Mother and nodded: "I know, if he doesn't mess with me, I won't toss him." After a pause, he asked the Queen Mother again: "By the way, last time I heard my uncle say that the Du family intends to join the Yan family, and why does Du Ran take a fancy to the position of the big horse?" ”

When he mentioned this, the Yan family was angry: "Hmph, the eldest princess is an elm head, and the Du family wants to make a fuss about this, so they have to work hard." ”

After listening to the Queen Mother's words, the third princess could also understand the recent situation a little, and the two talked about the recent situation in Dadu, and the third princess was driven back to the Horse Mansion by the Queen Mother.

***********

Qi Mozhou's birthday is approaching, Pan Chen is also busy, she is in charge of the affairs of the harem, and the undertaking of the emperor's birthday banquet naturally falls on her, the Inner Court Division, the Ministry of Rites come to ask her opinion every day, Pan Chen only cares about dealing with them, and has no time to care about anything else, Yueluo wants to talk to Pan Chen about the scandal between Qi Mozhou and Yin Xiuzhi, Pan Chen has no time to listen.

The weather in November is getting colder and colder, Qi Mozhou is also quite busy these days, since the last time I spoke in the Taihe Palace, the two of them were busy with each other, and they had not seen each other for more than ten days, seeing that the day after tomorrow was Qi Mozhou's birthday, Pan Chen wanted to finalize some things with him, and rushed to the Taihe Hall with a large stack of materials, only to know that Qi Mozhou was not in the palace, saying that he had made an appointment with several princes to meet in the palace of King Yu.

Pan Chen had no choice but to take his things back to Roufu Palace, sorted out the process again, washed up and went to bed early, and after reading the book for a while, he planned to turn off the lights and go to bed.

But not long after lying down, I heard the moonset on duty at night come to report: "Niangniang, Niangniang, wake up quickly." Commander Fu asked to see him outside. ”

Pan Chen slept in a daze, and it was easy to open his eyes, and Yueluo repeated the words again, and Pan Chen rubbed his eyes and sat up: "Commander Fu? What is he doing at such a late hour? ”

"The slave didn't know, Commander Fu came alone, and he was wearing a night suit, so he asked the slave and maid not to alarm the others and call the mother to go out to see her. It's so late, do you see it or not? ”

The sound of the moonfall was very small, but it was heard very clearly in the quiet bedroom, Pan Chen's sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden, sat up from the bed, and the moonfall hurriedly squatted down to put on her shoes, Pan Chenwu thought about it for a while, and then nodded:

"You tell him to wait for me at the back door, and I'll get dressed and go."

Fu Ning is Qi Mozhou's confidant, he has never left Qi Mozhou, he will never come to her in the middle of the night for no reason, there must be something going on in Qi Mozhou.

After Pan Chen put on his clothes, he didn't dare to delay, put on a cloak, and went to the back door with a lantern in person, saw Fu Ning, and learned a news that shocked her - Qi Mozhou was gone!
