Chapter VI
pursed his lips, and replied a little impatiently: "Don't worry about it, no one dares to mess with me, concubine!"
After that, I didn't think it was very convincing, so I added: "It's just that my cousin was confined to the house, and she was the most able to come up with ideas for the Lantern Festival in previous years, but this year without her, it won't be interesting!" β
Concubine Su frowned, "You mean Jianing?" β
For this niece, Concubine Su has always been very satisfied, gentle and demure, generous and decent, and luxurious, and she also has her own plans, such a woman, as her daughter-in-law, as the future mother of the country, it is very good!
But the emperor had some scruples in his heart and did not approve, so she did not dare to act rashly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although he didn't dare to blatantly match, he consciously or unintentionally acquiesced to his son's contact with her, fortunately, the two grew up together, childhood sweethearts, although Li Ling is more lively, it is not uninteresting, the two can also play together, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law don't seem to have any intention of stopping it.
Now the emperor's dragon body is not as good as a year, and since the beginning of winter, he has been seriously ill several times, so that some people are already impatient to move, and at this juncture, the eldest brother's family not only did not have any expression, but the sister-in-law did not bring Su Jie with her when she entered the palace for a big ceremony in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and now she is grounded and not allowed to participate in the lantern festival in the East Palace.
This does not bode well!
"I didn't see her enter the palace on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, didn't I say that she was in poor health, why was she grounded?"
Hearing Su Guifei ask like this, she suddenly opened Li Ling's chatterbox, and she was no longer so listless, she sat up straight, looked like she was righteous, and blurted out one complaint after another.
"On the first day of the new year, I heard that my cousin was sick and went to visit her, and after that, my cousin was grounded by my uncle, saying that she was not allowed to go out for a month, and she had to copy the female ring ten times, and my uncle was really ruthless, Jianing didn't seem to have given birth to herself, and the Diamond Sutra for Chinese New Year's Eve hadn't been copied yet!"
Li Ling was indeed a little indignant, if it weren't for the ruthlessness of his eldest uncle, he wouldn't have had to go into the palace early in the morning to listen to his mother's nagging!
The Lantern Festival in the East Palace every year is the most lively! As long as he makes a post, who in the whole city doesn't rush to participate?
Li Ling was still immersed in his own world and couldn't extricate himself, gushing endlessly about Xiao's sins that did not understand human feelings, and he didn't know moderation at all, let alone the saying that "the wall has ears"!
Fortunately, under the rule of Concubine Su, the minions in this Zhongcui Palace are all sifted through a sieve, not to mention that they are all henchmen, but none of them dare to disobey!
At this time, listening to His Royal Highness the Prince's remarks, everyone shook their hearts, and they didn't listen to it with their ears pricked up, let alone dare to take it to heart.
But Concubine Su was not lightly angered by her son's abrupt behavior, and after listening to her son's words, her brows were already wrinkled into the word "Sichuan".
Thinking about it, the sister-in-law is not such an unreasonable person, it must be that Li Ling does things inconsequentially, and he offended the eldest brother's family and didn't know it!
So he stared at his son and asked, "Did you do anything out of the ordinary again?"
Seeing the eyes of the concubine torturing him, Li Ling was naturally uncomfortable in his heart, and immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, shouting "Wronged!" β
"My son has always behaved, if the mother doesn't believe it, Jiang Shilang can testify, and the mother can ask him!"
He thought this was the best way to prove his innocence, but when Concubine Su heard this, she became even more angry, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you take Jiang Shilang to Su Jie's boudoir?"
Looking at the cold eyes of the concubine, it seemed that the earth dragons in this room were burned in vain, and she didn't feel a trace of warmth!
At this moment, Li Ling also panicked, although he didn't realize that there was anything wrong with his approach, but the eyes of his mother had always been the benchmark for him to do things.
Now that this look came out, he was stunned when he saw it, and he instantly lost his confidence when he spoke.
"Mother, didn't you always teach your son to get close to the Dingguo Mansion? It just so happened that Jianing was sick again, and when I learned the news, it happened that Jiang Shilang was also in the East Palace, so I thought it would not be impossible for him to accompany me on a trip, anyway, they had met the day before, and they knew each other. β
"We're just sitting together over a cup of tea and chatting for a while, Yun Niang is also there, and she hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, why are you going to be grounded? The eldest aunt is really unsympathetic! β
The whining is unstoppable.
Li Ling is like this, he has been protected too well by Concubine Su since he was a child, and his uncle Su Yuanzhen took care of him in the previous dynasty, he has never really experienced anything, and his thinking is too naΓ―ve.
"Li Ling!"
Looking at her son's appearance that the mud couldn't support the wall, Concubine Su was really angry and yelled.
The palace maids serving in the house were frightened, and they lowered their heads one after another, and they didn't dare to take a breath. Li Ling was also dumbfounded, the mother concubine used to either call him by his milk name or "Ling'er", and she had never called him by her name!
Now blurting out like this, I must be angry!
Concubine Su was really angry, she thought that her son was sensible, who would have thought that she would still be so out of tune!
She is no longer young, she can't follow him all her life and settle all the troubles for him, when will he be able to really grow up, and when will she not be able to keep her heart for him all the time?
"Niangniang is angry, what do you have to say to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a good boy who is benevolent and filial, and he will definitely listen to Niangniang's careful teaching!"
Su Guifei's personal palace maid Mu Hibiscus hurriedly stepped forward, and Su Guifei, who had already stood up in a hurry, whispered a word of comfort while giving her relief.
It is intended to remind Concubine Su that she must not lose her demeanor in front of her subordinates, and she must also take into account the face of the prince!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not subject to discipline, and the relationship between him and Niangniang is not intimate in the first place, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is separated from him because of Niangniang's reprimand, it will be worth the loss!
Mu Hibiscus understands this truth, but Concubine Su may not understand, she just feels more tired!
If he doesn't have the backing of the vegetarian family, can he, a mediocre prince, sit on the crown prince as he wishes?
Now the emperor is restless, and he doesn't know how many ambitious princes are ready to move behind his back, so he will rebel as soon as the emperor dies.
It was precisely when he needed to attract talents and consolidate his position, but he did such a ridiculous thing!
Not to mention that Su Jie is a girl in the Guogong Mansion who has not yet left the cabinet, even if she is just an ordinary woman in an ordinary people's family, no foreign men are allowed to step into the boudoir for half a step!
This is etiquette, but also rules!
