Lin Yan sat on the couch, watched the prince and Cui Ningniang kneel in front of her and the emperor, and then said: "Erchen is here to ask his father and mother for sin, yesterday it was Erchen who was wrong, Erchen should not be indifferent to Ning Niang for a palace maid, Erchen also made amends to Ning Niang yesterday, and now I am here to ask my father and mother for sin." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The emperor said, "Do you really know it's wrong? ”

Prince Road is.

After a pause, he lowered his eyes, and said: "Erchen thoroughly reflected on it last night, remembered what he had done in the past, was impulsive and irritable, did stupid things, and did not respect his father and mother, so that his father and mother were worried, his mother was worried, his ministers were worried, and his grandmother and uncles were worried. Erchen has realized his mistakes, and will never make these mistakes again in the future, and Erchen will strive to be a qualified prince and no longer live up to the expectations of his father and mother. ”

The emperor looked at his serious face and felt that he was still a little sincere, so he nodded and said, "Get up." ”

But the prince did not get up, and said, "The son has another matter to ask the queen mother." ”

Lin Yan glanced at him and waited for him to continue. ‘

The prince said: "Erchen has been serving and growing up in Fang's father-in-law since he was a child, and the queen mother sent Fang's father-in-law to the Yeting Palace yesterday. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Cui Ningniang, who was kneeling beside him, and wanted her to help him intercede, and asked her, "Ning Niang, what do you say?" ”

Lin Yan frowned.

Cui Ningniang felt unhappy in her heart, no wonder he asked her if she wanted to come to Changkun Palace together, it turned out that he wanted her to help him intercede for her father-in-law.

Cui Ningniang usually suffers a lot of grievances in front of the prince, and she always suffers a lot of submissiveness, but at this time, she suddenly has a little temper and said: "No, the courtier thinks that Gonggong Fang has made a mistake, and she should be punished in the Yeting Palace, otherwise His Royal Highness's Yanqing Palace will be out of order." ”

The prince turned his head and glared at Cui Ningniang fiercely.

Cui Ningniang was especially bold today, and even glared back at the prince.

Lin Yan didn't plan to let go of Father-in-law Fang so soon, so she took a sip of tea before saying, "When Father-in-law Fang should go back, the palace will naturally let him go back." ”

The prince said: "Father-in-law Fang has served his sons for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work. ”

Lin Yan said sharply: "The prince made a mistake, and he, as a personal servant, did not persuade him, but concealed and connived at the prince's mistakes, and no matter how much hard work he took, it should be offset." ”

The prince didn't speak again, just hung his head and pursed his lips, his face a little dissatisfied.

Lin Yan said again: "The prince will go back first, Ning Niang stays here, and the palace has something to say to Ning Niang." ”

The prince paused for a moment, then said yes, bent his knees to salute the emperor and Lin Yan, and then retired.

Lin Yan and Cui Ningniang wanted to talk, and the emperor naturally didn't want to stay here, so he went into the inner room, took Princess Rui, who had just gotten up, to visit the small garden, and left the space to Lin Yan and Cui Ningniang.

After they left, Lin Yan reached out and pulled Cui Ningniang, who was still kneeling on the ground, up and let her sit next to her.

Lin Yan took Cui Ningniang's hand and said, "The prince is not sensible these days, and he has wronged you." ”

Cui Ningniang faced Lin Yan at this time, her mood was a little complicated, although the queen was only two years older than her, but the queen's bearing and intelligence were there, and she could easily treat her as an adult. But now that she knows the prince's thoughts, Cui Ningniang looks at Lin Yan again, and she feels a little sour in her heart.

Looking at the queen again, Cui Ningniang didn't understand, how could she still act like an elder casually, as if she didn't know the prince's thoughts.

Cui Ningniang took a deep breath, and also let herself act as if nothing happened, wanting to deal with it calmly, and said, "The courtiers dare not say that they are wronged. ”

It's just that her cultivation is not as close to Lin Yan as she is home after all, and her tone is still a little blunt.

Lin Yan knew what she was thinking, but she didn't break it.

There are some things, it's best for everyone to pretend not to know, so that you can be hello, hello, hello, everyone.

Lin Yan said again: "Ning Niang, you have also lived in the palace for a while, right?" ”

Cui Ningniang said: "Yes." ”

Lin Yan said: "After all, you are the crown princess who has been decreed by the emperor, and it is not good to live in the palace all the time, even in the people's house, and there is no reason why the woman has been living in her husband's house before getting married." So this palace has informed your brother and asked him to come and pick you up from the palace in a few days. ”

Cui Ningniang's heart tightened, could it be that the queen wanted to drive her out of the palace because she knew the prince's thoughts, so in order to prevent her from talking too much?

Cui Ningniang smiled bitterly in her heart, she is the future princess, tied to the prince's future, where would she do anything unfavorable to the prince, otherwise, she would not have risked being blamed by the prince last night and told her aunt about it.

Lin Yan glanced at her, knowing that she had misunderstood her intentions, and explained to her: "This palace doesn't mean anything else, it's just that the emperor told this palace last night that Qin Tianjian has already chosen the date for your and the prince's wedding, and there are still cumbersome processes to go before the wedding, and you need to complete some rituals with your father and brother at home." Besides, the emperor will send him to Yuzhou to supervise the water conservancy in a few days, and he will not be able to come back until before the wedding, the prince is not in the palace, and there is no need for you to stay in the palace anymore. ”

Another reason that Lin Yan didn't say was that since Cui Ningniang couldn't face her calmly, sooner or later people would have to see the clues in the palace, since this was the case, why not let her go home first and calm down.

Cui Ningniang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, the courtiers will listen to Niangniang's arrangement." ”

Lin Yan nodded, explained a few more words to her, and then drank tea and sent the guests.

After Cui Ningniang came out of Changkun Palace, she found that the prince had not left yet, so she stood at the gate of Changkun Palace and waited for her.

Cui Ningniang was surprised, she didn't know that she could still get such treatment, and said, "Your Highness hasn't left yet?" ”

The prince said: "Since you have come out, let's go." ”

Cui Ningniang said: "The courtiers want to go back to Yong'an Palace, and His Royal Highness wants to go back to Yanqing Palace......" What she wanted to say was that they had different paths.

The crown prince interrupted her and said, "Lone will send you back to Yong'an Palace first." ”

Cui Ningniang was even more surprised.

The snow on the ground has not melted a few days ago, and the ground is white and watery, but the snow on the road has been swept to both sides by the palace people, so the road will not be difficult to walk.

Cui Ningniang hung her head, followed the prince half a step back, and followed him step by step.

And the prince looked around a little bored, and didn't pay much attention to Cui Ningniang behind him.

Then halfway through, they suddenly met the second prince who also went to the harem to visit the Wu family.

The prince suddenly stretched out his hand to hug Cui Ningniang, and said to her softly: "Be careful, there is ice on the ground, don't step on it and slip." ”

Cui Ningniang looked at him in a daze, a little overwhelmed by the prince's sudden gentleness, but the prince smiled softly at her.

The second prince was originally surprised when he saw them walking together, but now he felt more and more incredible.

Didn't it just come out yesterday that Cui Ningniang was so angry that the prince ran out of Yanqing Palace crying, and the relationship between the two looks better today than before.

The second prince walked over and saluted the prince: "I have seen the imperial brother." ”

Only then did the prince gently let go of Cui Ningniang, nodded, and then said, "Where is the second brother going?" ”

Cui Ningniang lowered her head and bowed to the second prince, but she understood in her heart why the prince would wait for her to go with her, and why he would suddenly be gentle to her, but it was just for others to see.

Cui Ningniang felt a little lost in her heart.

But thinking that the prince was willing to put down his posture and send her back to Yong'an Palace, and he was no longer indifferent to her, she still felt that she should be happy, but this happiness made her sour. (To be continued.) )
