"Hey, have you heard? said that the nine princesses were deflated! A fishmonger said.

"What do you mean? The dignified nine princesses, who dares to bully? The other immediately asked.

"Who else, isn't it the granddaughter of Ning Shangshu! One of the strong candidates for the princess in the past, the concubine who had not fought for Prime Minister Xia, came to compete for a side concubine at this time, it seems that the princess and princess are deeply affectionate, and they will not accept concubines for the time being, Miss Ning wasted her efforts and intended to murder the princess at the red plum banquet, and the queen was spotted on the spot! ”

"Really? Then why have you been calm for the past two days, I haven't heard of dealing with Miss Ning! ”

"Hey, they all say that it is the noble daughter's golden branch and jade leaf, and her fate is good, and it is true. Who is behind Miss Naning? Ning Shangshu, an important minister in the court, how could he watch his granddaughter being wronged, I heard that Ning Shangshu knelt in front of the Heart Palace all night in order to save Miss Ning, and the emperor sighed that he was old and had meritorious service to the court, so he put the matter on hold! ”

"Then how can the prince and princess be willing?"

"What can you do if you are unwilling? It's not all the emperor's say! ”

"That princess is really a loss! was framed by someone design, and there is no reason to make sense! ”

"Not really! This year, the princess is going to be wronged! ”

"But I really haven't heard of this matter!"

"This kind of scandal in the palace must be ordered to be blocked! If it weren't for the fact that I had relatives working on errands in the palace, who would have thought! ”

"yes, yes!" All should be reconciled.

One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and for a while, the streets and alleys were full of rumors that the ninth princess was framed, but there was no Zhaoxue.

The Royal Study.

Li An nodded to a secret guard and flashed in: "Lord Wang, I have passed on the rumors as instructed." ”

"Have all the Kyoto magnates heard of it?"

"The hidden stakes lurking in the mansions of the magnates have received the news and started to move."

"Very good, the bait has been placed, it depends on how the emperor responds!"

"There is another thing, today the princess met with Su Yu, the son of Su Shangshu."

"Su Yu?!" The ninth prince twisted his fingers, put the two words between his lips and played with them for a while, and knocked on the table: "The princess's childhood sweetheart, the meeting is normal, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Lord Wang, it is said that the two have grown up together since childhood, and the two have no guesses, and they are in love."

The Nine Princes frowned: "Oh? Is it?! ”

Li An lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.

The action of the Nine Princes twisting his hands unconsciously turned into a clench.

The Palace Nourishes the Heart.

"Ask the emperor to see that the old minister has served the country all his life, before and after the saddle, and for the sake of doing his best, spare Ning Qing's life!"

"Ning Shangshu please hurry up, it's not that I don't have pity, it's true, alas, Aiqing doesn't know, I originally planned to delay for some time, wait for people to forget, and let Ning Qing out. Who would have thought that overnight, rumors spread all over the government and the opposition, saying that I was biased and selfish, and today I actually admonished the official to ask me to make this case public, I really can't ignore it! ”

"Lao Chen only has Ning Qing's granddaughter, this, this is not the life of Lao Chen!" Ning Shangshu was in tears.

The emperor frowned, and stepped forward to help Ning Shangshu: "I also have a headache, yesterday for some reason, several palace maids and eunuchs committed suicide in the palace, and the queen checked for a long time, but did not find out the results." ”

The emperor patted Ning Shangshu's hand and said, "Ning Qing's matter, the princess has lost her memory, and it's not easy to check, I've been full of thoughts recently!" ”

"What does the emperor mean..." Ning Shangshu rolled his eyes, and suddenly understood what he seemed to ask.

"I just think that the affairs of the woman's family, how can they be brought to the court and spread out, wouldn't it ruin my glorious reputation, and it is better to settle the knot in private!"

Ning Shangshu immediately fell to the ground: "Thank you for the emperor's kindness, the ministers should do their best to share the emperor's worries." ”

Feast on guests.

When Xia Ruqian left, Yi Yan took Yan Xi away, Jing Cheng stood at the door of the 'Banquet Quartet' and refused to leave, Yan Xi sat in the carriage and looked out, tears flowed non-stop.

"Okay, okay, it's not life and death, it's just going to live in the palace for a few days, and then I brought Jing Cheng here! Yan Xi is obedient, don't cry! Zhuxiang hugged Yan Xi and comforted her softly.

"However, Yan Xi has never been separated from her brother." Yan Xi sobbed and accommodated, looking aggrieved.

"Yan Xi doesn't know how fun the palace is! There are flower cages of various shapes and colors, delicious mung bean cakes and hibiscus cakes, and there is a swing in the princess's splendid pavilion! "The clouds are like a few treasures, teasing Yan Xi.

Yan Xi unconsciously sat up straight, with a yearning look: "Sister Yunduo, is it the kind of swing that can sit on it and swing back and forth?" ”

"Of course!" Yun Duo nodded: "It's tied to the hibiscus tree in the yard!" ”

"Then, can Yan Xi play?"

"Well, then I'll have to ask the princess!" Yun Duo looked at Yan Xi with an embarrassed expression, and skimmed Xia Ruqian on the side.

Yan Xi stood up, moved to Xia Ruqian's side, poked Xia Ruqian's arm with her little fingers, and said in a tender voice: "Sister Qianqian, can I sit on the swing of the Splendid Pavilion?" ”

Xia Ruqian looked at Yan Xi with a nervous look, and deliberately propped up her head, very embarrassed: "That swing is my beloved thing." ”

"I'll just sit down and never break it!" Yan Xi gestured out a finger, pitiful.

Xia Ruqian suddenly broke her skills, and laughed out loud, she picked up Yan Xi, let her sit in her arms, and said affectionately: "Okay, then play with you!" ”

"Yay! Great, great! Yan Xi cheered.

Yan Xi is really a child's heart, playing on the swing for a while, and playing hide and seek in the courtyard with Yunduo Zhuxiang, and soon left his troubles behind.

The Splendid Pavilion has not been so lively for a long time, Xia Ruqian sat in the courtyard and watched them play, and her mood couldn't help but improve.

After dinner, Xia Ruqian led Yan Xi to take a bath, and then went to take her to sleep with the clouds.

"Then the bamboo incense will stay and wait for the princess to rest!"

"No need, you can go down and rest, the mattress is all laid out, the makeup is removed, and I have nothing to do here." Xia Ruqian was dressed in white, her hair was scattered, draped over her shoulders, and she was taking off her earrings in front of the mirror.

"That bamboo incense has also gone down!"

"Hmm."

Xia Ruqian stretched her waist to move her muscles and bones, and prepared to go to bed.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by a call outside the door: "Is the princess sleeping?" ”

This sound?

Xia Ruqian couldn't tell whether it was bamboo incense or clouds for a while, so he replied casually: "Not yet?" What's wrong? ”

"The slave is in!"

"Come in."

Forgot something here?

Or...

What happened to Yan Xi?

Xia Ruqian immediately hurriedly walked out of the room. When I first arrived outside, a maid supported a woman. The woman was dressed in a gray shawl, and her face was hidden in the hat.

When the woman saw Xia Rushin coming out, she trembled and stretched out her hand, took off her hat, and her face was exposed.
