There was an angry roar outside the door of Dongnuan Pavilion, breaking the dead silence of the room, everyone instinctively looked at the door, Qi Jingshan, who was originally kneeling on the ground, jumped up even more, and shouted in the direction of the door: "Let go of the ......" She wanted to shout "presumptuous", but when she saw the person who walked into the door quickly, the word "wanton" was never said again.

"Huan'er ......" Prince and Concubine Le saw that it was her son who walked in, only to see that his cheeks, which were as white as jade, were flushed, and a pair of the most handsome and elegant eyes were full of anger, Prince and Concubine Le had raised Qi Jinghuan for seventeen years, and she had never seen her son so angry. Huan'er, don't be angry, my mother will never let you be wronged! Prince Le and Princess Le exclaimed urgently.

Qi Jinghuan strode towards Prince Le's concubine and said indignantly: "Mother, my son is not wronged, my son is very angry, the person who was wronged is the princess whose son has not passed through the door, and my son doesn't know that a little county lord dares to pour dirty water on the royal county lord without evidence!" ”

Qi Jingshan's biological mother was frightened when she heard this, and immediately threw herself on her knees, dragging her daughter to kneel, and said in a loud voice: "Shan'er, quickly kneel down and ask the prince for guilt!" ”

Qi Jingshan didn't kneel, but only cried aggrievedly: "Mother, brother, what I said is true, the day before yesterday, the emperor Yongning and Gongsun Yuanqing had a private meeting in the drunken Xiao Tower, this lonely man and widow lived in the same room for more than an hour, but anyone who has a brain knows what is going on." ”

When Princess Le heard this, her face immediately changed, her eyebrows furrowed, and she asked in a deep voice, "There is such a thing?" When she said this, Prince Le and Princess Le glanced at the old lady Gongsun intentionally or unintentionally.

The old lady of Gongsun was calm and relaxed, and she didn't have the slightest hint of weakness at all, just watched and listened quietly. However, the expressions on the faces of the ladies of the Yunxiang Hou Mansion who were sitting on the side were quite interesting.

"Chu Qi clan, this king asks you, can what you just said be what you saw with your own eyes?" Qi Jinghuan asked coldly, let alone call him eldest sister, he didn't even call Qi Jingshan's name, Qi Jingshan's family name was Chu, he simply called him Chu Qi's family, which showed that he was really annoyed in his heart.

Qi Jingshan was shocked, she looked up and stared at Qi Jinghuan in amazement, she couldn't believe her ears, "Brother, you ...... You call me? ”

"Chu Qi clan, don't answer this king's question yet!" Qi Jinghuan didn't pay attention to Qi Jingshan at all, and only continued to ask coldly. He knew that no matter what, someone would talk about the matter of Drunken Xiaolou, but he never expected that it would be Qi Jingshan, his half-sister who broke the matter on his mother's birthday, where would she still think that she was the eldest aunt and grandmother of Prince Le's mansion! Since she doesn't want to be decent herself, Qi Jinghuan will never give her a chance again.

"Mother......" Qi Jingshan cried.

"Eldest sister, today is the birthday of the mother concubine, what kind of heart are you crying and crying and making waves like this!" Seeing that the eldest sister offended the prince's younger brother, the second aunt and grandmother Qi Jinghu immediately spoke, fortunately, she sold herself well in front of the mother and the prince's younger brother, Qi Jinghu is not like her eldest sister, she is stupid and uncalculating, she deeply knows which side she has to stand on to be more beneficial to herself and her husband's family.

Prince and Concubine Le were already very unhappy, and when she saw the eldest daughter crying and wiping her tears, where was there a look of worshipping her birthday, she was clearly here to cry and mourn, and she was said by the second daughter in public, she naturally added another layer of anger in her heart, and Prince and Concubine Le were willing to look at Qi Jingshan at all, and only snorted coldly.

"Concubine Niangniang, the eldest aunt and grandmother are fascinated by ghosts, for the sake of her being the blood of the former king, and the prince is the closest brother, can you forgive her......" Qi Jingshan's biological mother, Concubine He, hurriedly kowtowed, and couldn't stop begging. She knows her daughter's temperament very well, if she doesn't have the big backer of Prince Le's mansion, she is afraid that she will be frustrated to death by her husband's family. "Come on, send Concubine He back to the room." Qi Jinghuan called out coldly, and immediately two grandmothers walked in from outside, picked up Concubine He and walked out.

Concubine He Fang refused, and cried out and begged: "Lord Wang...... Ask the prince to let the concubine stay...... The concubine didn't dare to speak anymore...... I beg the prince ......"

Qi Jinghuan waited for Concubine He Fang to be about to be taken out of the door, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, let Concubine He Fang stay and see what else her rebel daughter can say." “

Only then did the two grandmothers let go of Concubine He Fang, who didn't even dare to stand, and only knelt down with her daughter. "Chu Qi clan, you still don't say it? If you can't tell you that you are ugly, this king will ask you for the crime of slandering the lord of the county without knowing how to be respectful and humiliating. Qi Jinghuan snorted coldly, his voice was not very loud, but everyone in the Dongnuan Pavilion trembled. I...... I...... I have not seen it with my own eyes, but I have heard it. Qi Jingshan no longer had the confidence to be talented, and said vaguely in a snorting voice. Heard? Seeing may not belong, let alone hearing! Who do you listen to? Qi Jinghuan reprimanded angrily.

Qi Jingshan hurriedly said: "I listened to my grandmother." She heard the news at Princess Xiuya's mansion. When Concubine He heard this, she hated her heart, she only hated that she hadn't dealt with her daughter's grandmother Huang earlier, and let her get into such a big disaster.

Qi Jinghuan said coldly: "In this case, did you not see it with your own eyes, but just listened to some rumors, and did not ask for verification, so you chose a good day for your mother's birthday and made a lot of nonsense in front of the birthday guests?" Qi Jinghuan's tone at this time was a little calmer, but there was a coldness in his words, which made Qi Jingshan dare not reply at all. Mother, the Chu Qi clan listened to the rumors and came to the palace to talk nonsense and slander Ah Ning and Gongsun Dagongzi, how do you think this matter should be handled? Qi Jinghuan suddenly said to his mother.

Prince Le's concubine frowned, and she pondered for a while before she said, "Come on, send Young Lady Chu out of the mansion, and you are not allowed to step into the palace for half a step in the future." “

As soon as Concubine He heard this, she immediately knelt down and crawled in front of Prince Le, kowtowed desperately: "The eldest aunt and grandmother have been deceived by the adulterer, beg the concubine to see that she has also been raised by your side, raise your noble hand, don't drive her out, the concubine begs you, please spare the eldest aunt and grandmother, the concubine is willing to be a vegetarian all day long."

, the concubine is willing to be a vegetarian all day long to pray for you and the prince, and ask the Bodhisattva to protect the mother and the prince to live a long life...... "Concubine He didn't dare to cry, so she could only kowtow desperately to beg for mercy for Qi Jingshan."

Qi Jingshan was completely stunned, she never thought that things would develop in a direction she didn't expect at all, shouldn't her mother-in-law and princess brother all be angry at the county lord of Pingrong and Gongsun Yuanqing, why did they all come at her. That's not right! "Auntie, quickly kowtow to the concubine and the prince!" Seeing her daughter's stupid look, Concubine He Fang hurriedly grabbed her and forced her to kowtow and ask for guilt. Qi Jingshan was dragged by her mother and kowtowed a lot in a daze. "Huan'er, you have grown up, you are the prince of Yifu, this matter is up to you." Prince and Princess Le were very upset, and instinctively kicked the ball to her son.

Qi Jinghuan was waiting for this sentence, and he responded in a deep voice: "Yes, mother, this matter is related to the clear name of A-Ning and Gongsun Eldest Prince, so no matter who is involved, the son must investigate to the end." “

Prince and Concubine Le frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Whatever you want." “

Old Mrs. Yunxianghou, who had been paying special attention to their mother and son's demeanor, saw this scene, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and a smile flashed in her dim eyes. Huan'er said yes, it should indeed be investigated to the end. Huan'er is a dignified prince, and she must not suffer such a great humiliation. Old Madam Yunxiang Hou suddenly spoke.

Qi Jinghuan glanced at his grandmother lightly, and said in his words: "What my grandmother said is very true. The old lady of Yunxiang Hou finally waited for a "grandmother", and she immediately looked at the daughter of the princess and princess, and her eyes seemed to be flashing with tears of excitement.

The old lady of Gongsun has never looked down on the old lady of Yunxiang Hou, but now that she is now doing a style, she is even more disdainful. She stood up, bowed slightly to Qi Jinghuan and said, "Lord Wang, the eldest grandson of the old body is in the palace, and the old body is now handing him over to you, please investigate it thoroughly." When will it be found out and then let him go home. “

Qi Jinghuan looked at the old lady Gongsun, and finally had a smile on his face, "Old lady, Brother Gongsun is a bright and honest gentleman, and this king absolutely believes in him." Please sit down, today this king will find out the rumors and slanderers. “

Old Madam Gongsun smiled and nodded, and said slowly: "Thank you, Lord Wang." “

Qi Jinghuan nodded, and said coldly: "Tian Shou, go and tell Liang Changshi, let him interrogate the Huang family carefully, you watched there, turned around and took the confession and came back to report." Tian Shou answered, and quickly ran to pass the word. Qi Jinghuan sat quietly, he didn't pay attention to the mother and daughter of Concubine He Fang who were kneeling on the ground, nor did he pay attention to the female dependents of the Yunxiang Hou Mansion, and only occasionally said a word to the old lady Gongsun, and the atmosphere in the Dongnuan Pavilion was really embarrassing.

Mo Yo returned a quarter of an hour later, with a confession in his hand. "Back to the prince, according to the Huang family, she listened to the eldest grandson and daughter-in-law of the Shi family, the head of Princess Xiuya's mansion. This is a confession, please look at it. “

When Prince Le and Princess Le heard Princess Xiuya's words again, her brows furrowed tightly. This Xiuya princess has a very high seniority, and Emperor Zhaoming has to call her aunt and grandmother when he sees her, and she is the highest person in the royal family today. Princess Xiuya was famous for her unstinginess in her early years, and she was proficient in all kinds of tricks, and the people in Manyan Capital couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh when they mentioned the four words Princess Xiuya. But she just took up a senior position, and although she acted well, she had never done anything heinous, so that people didn't have a place to punish her.

Princess Xiuya is middle-aged and widowed, with a son and two daughters under her knees, there have been rumors in Yanjing City, saying that Princess Xiuya has a personal affair with the long history of the princess's mansion, and the eldest son of Changshi is actually born to Princess Xiuya, Princess Xiuya is very good to the eldest son of Changshi, and the princess's biological children believe that the eldest son and grandson of Changshi are the masters of Princess Xiuya herself. Princess Xiuya's protection and unstinginess were extremely troublesome, so Princess Le frowned tightly. "Tian Shou, go and tell Liang Changshi, let him and the chief of the white guard personally invite the eldest grandson of Princess Xiuya's mansion Changshi to the palace for questioning." Qi Jinghuan read the confession and said coldly.

Prince Le and Concubine Le hurriedly said, "Huan'er, don't ...... it" "Mother, my son thinks innocence is more important. When the son finds out the truth, he will go to the Golden Palace to ask the emperor's uncle to call the shots. Qi Jinghuan stopped her mother's words, and he spoke in an extremely strict tone, so that Prince Le and Concubine Le couldn't say anything. Mother, after tossing this pass, you must be tired, it is better to go back to the room to rest first, and someone will come to you to pay your birthday after a while, and then report to you when you have the result. Qi Jinghuan knew that there would be no results for a while, and he didn't want to stay up here, so he stood up and said goodbye to his mother.

Prince Le and Princess Le nodded happily, and said listlessly: "It's okay, Huan'er, your body and bones are better, don't be too tired, just explain everything." After that, Prince and Princess Le left without even saying hello. This kind of behavior is really rude, but the people present have no mind, and no one dares to deal with Prince Le and Princess Le.

Qi Jinghuan nodded, looked at the people in the room, and said lightly: "Sister, as soon as the old lady Gongsun comes back to our palace, you accompany them to visit the garden of our palace." Qi Jingshu hurriedly claimed that it was. The old lady of Gongsun immediately took her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to get up and thank her. They knew very well in their hearts that there was a great way to go back to the garden.

Qi Jinghuan said to the second sister Qi Jinghu again: "The second sister is here to talk to her grandmother, aunt and cousin." Even if Qi Jinghu didn't want to, he had to agree with a smile on his face.

The old lady of Yunxiang Hou was reluctant, she originally had other plans in her heart, otherwise she would not have brought her nephew and granddaughter in the Song clan with her today. It's just that Qi Jinghuan's power today is really overwhelming, so that the old lady of Yunxiang Hou doesn't even have a chance to speak, and she can only agree to come down first and then slowly figure it out.

After Qi Jinghuan left, the old lady of Yunxiang Hou put aside the shelf of the prince's grandmother, and didn't really answer Qi Jinghu, the second aunt and grandmother of the palace, who was talking to her, and Qi Jinghu didn't want to

Hu didn't want to accompany the old lady of Yunxiang Hou, and before she left the cabinet, she had a holiday with Yunxiang Hou. Now seeing that the old lady of Yunxiang Hou ignored herself, she simply stopped talking. However, her biological mother, Concubine Chen, played a round in two strokes, which was also embarrassing.

After sitting for a while, the old lady of Yunxiang Hou said: "Come on, lead the old man to see your concubine." She is the concubine's mother-in-law, and the prince did not say a word not to allow the old lady of Yunxiang Hou to see the concubine, so a maid came to guide the way, and led the old lady of Yunxiang Hou to the bedroom of the princess of Prince Le.

"Mother? How did you get here? The princess and concubine of Prince Le, who had a wide coat, lay on her side on the chaise longue and took a nap, and when she heard the maid report that the old lady of Yunxiang was coming, she immediately ordered someone to invite her in, and asked lightly in a tired voice.

"Wanwan, my mother has something to say to you alone." The old lady of Yunxiang Hou said as soon as she entered the door.

Prince and Concubine Le frowned slightly, but still waved her hand and said, "You all step back and serve outside the corridor." A room full of maids and grandmothers hurriedly retreated to the courtyard outside the corridor, so that no one could hear what the old man of Yunxiang said said.

"Wanwan, there are outsiders here, there are some things that are inconvenient for my mother to say, only the two of us at this time, my mother will say it directly......" The old lady of Yunxiang Hou sat beside her daughter, patted her daughter's hand gently, and said slowly.

The old lady of Yunxiang Hou said that it took a quarter of an hour to finish, and after listening to the old mother, Prince Le's face changed completely. "Mother, that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier? I didn't expect Huangfu Yongning to be such a thing! I'm really blind to her kindness. ”

The old lady of Yunxiang Hou hurriedly said: "Wanwan, your son-in-law left early, leaving only such a little root and seedling as Huan'er, and he is a disaster and eight disasters, and my mother feels distressed when she thinks about it." Niang is looking forward to Huan'er getting better, looking forward to him spreading his branches and leaves as soon as possible, and you can also have Sun Nan and Di Nu Chenghuan on your knees. Huan'er got married, and her mother was happier than anyone else, but she never expected that Huangfu Yongning would be such a person. You also saw it, this did such an ugly thing before she passed the door, but she made Huan'er confused, it's really ...... Alas, my mother is trying to offend Huan'er today, and I can't stop saying this. Wanwan, don't marry a stirrger! ”

"Mother, I understand, my daughter has her own claim on this matter, don't worry, Huan'er is your grandson, how can my daughter not let him annoy you and have a relationship with you. Your words go out of your mouth and into my ears today, and they will not go anywhere else. "Prince and Concubine Le were obviously moved by the words of the old lady of Yunxiang, even if she was separated from her son, she had to ask about this matter to the end.

"Wanwan, my mother knows that it is not easy for you, it is really difficult for you. Now that Huan'er's body is better, you don't have to worry about him anymore, just go home and walk more, if you can stay with your mother for a few days, your mother can really close her eyes when she dies immediately. Wanwan, my mother is old, my days are numbered, my mother always thinks of you when you were a child, you were so tall in the past, you were like your mother's little tail at that time, and you will follow your mother wherever she goes......"

The old lady of Yunxiang Hou recalled the past in front of her daughter, which was equivalent to opening the floodgates of Prince Le's memory, and the memory of Yunxiang Hou's mansion immediately poured out, occupying the heart of Prince Le's concubine. The old lady of Yunxiang Hou looked at her daughter's somewhat confused expression, and knew that her goal today had basically been achieved.

Just when the old lady of Yunxiang Hou was playing the emotional card, Huangfu Yongning and the eldest princess Qi Jingyun met the old lady Gongsun and her party in the garden. This is all arranged in advance, so that the old lady Gongsun and the lady of Gongsun look at each other and look at the eldest princess. Although this is inconsistent with etiquette, Qi Jingyun is a dignified princess anyway, and there is no rule for courtiers to look at princesses. But the queen wants her daughter to have a smooth life in the future, and whether she gets along with her in-laws is an important factor in whether the eldest princess can live happily, so the queen asked Prince Le to arrange this encounter.

Mrs. Gongsun frowned slightly when she saw Qi Jingyun in men's clothes, but she quickly let go. Although she was a little dissatisfied with Qi Jingyun wearing men's clothes, Mrs. Gongsun was relieved when she thought that this was to cover people's ears and eyes. And there is also an imperial Fu Yongning next to her who she doesn't like as a foil, and Mrs. Gongsun feels more and more that the eldest princess is more in line with her heart.
