==Chapter 55==

"Rubbish!"

With this scolding, a teacup smashed down, not only splashing fragments on the ground, but also splashing the tea of Shi Niang, who was kneeling on the ground.

This time the matter failed, the lord of Chaoxia County ordered the Li family to investigate thoroughly, and after checking and checking, he suspected Xiao Shi Niang's head. In order to clear his reputation as unfavorable, the Li family spared no room for prevarication to Xiao Siniang.

Shi Niang also explained to the county lord of Chaoxia, but the county lord of Chaoxia was still half-convinced, although he was confident that Han Yunniang was pinching it in his hands, Xiao Shi Niang couldn't afford to turn over any moths, but this failure was really strange, coupled with the instigation of the Li family, the county lord of Chaoxia was even more suspicious of Shi Niang.

That's why Shi Niang went to Cuiyun Pavilion to explore the trip.

It's a pity that Xiao Jiuniang has already understood the matter itself, not only was she not detected by Shi Niang, but she found out, and Shi Niang returned with a feather, and after she came back, she naturally caused the uproar of the county lord of Chaoxia.

"Ten Niangzi, you are too useless, aren't you good with Nine Niangzi? Why didn't she sue you about this? "Li's Yin Yang Strange Qi Dao.

"That's it! That's what you told her about? Do you still want your mother's life?! ”

Shi Niang took a deep breath, her fists clenched under her sleeves, because she had been hanging her head, but no one saw the expressions on her faces. Shi Niang raised her head and glared straight at Li: "Then my mother is going to ask her about Li, if it weren't for the fact that she had to ask me to set up a 'vote' that day, why should I be suspected this time, so that I was humiliated, and then I was scolded by my mother again?" ”

When it comes to this petition, it is a bit far.

The county lord of Chaoxia pinched Han Yunniang, and he didn't have any good ideas, not long after Jiuniang and Shi Niang came back, they were coerced by the county lord of Chaoxia, so Shi Niang chose to turn her back on Jiu Niang.

It stands to reason that there is a person who can go deep into the enemy's interior, and he can get a lot of convenience, but the Li family's mind is too bad, and he does not live up to the name of the think tank around the county lord of Chaoxia, and he actually gave the county lord of Chaoxia such a bad idea.

When the county lord of Chaoxia heard this, this method is really good, although the operation is a little more complicated, but after all, Xiao Jiuniang is not the same as she was a few years ago, she pinched to death if she wanted to, how can she also have the identity of a county lord, and you need to be taboo. And if this plan succeeds, it will directly make Xiao Jiuniang die without a place to be buried, and the entire Xiao family will not dare to say a word, and they will have to help cover it up.

So, it was arranged according to the planned steps.

Originally, Shi Niang was not needed, but this Li family was a yin person, and he seemed to see the pain and struggle in Shi Niang's heart, and he was afraid that Xiao Shi Niang would turn against him, so he gave the county lord of Chaoxia an idea of 'voting for his name'. So not only is the apricot-red soft smoke unique to Shi Niang, but the eight characters of the birth date written on the paulownia puppet are also written by Shi Niang, just to pinch her a handle, so that she has no way out.

The idea is good, but unfortunately once it failed, Jiu Niang not only did not die, but also came to the Jedi reversal, and slapped the county lord of Chaoxia and Princess Changping in the face a few times.

Shi Niang's exposure because of this is also conceivable.

The county lord of Chaoxia listened to Shi Niang's words, and also felt that she was reasonable, so he waved her hand and let her go down, but the suspicion was not eliminated. After all, judging from this matter, the matter was revealed for no reason, and Xiao Siniang was the most suspicious.

"The county lord just let her go?" Li Shi rolled his eyes and asked.

It is better to die than to die, and there is a goal to divert firepower, so as not to have a hard time.

The county lord of Chaoxia had a hideous face, "How is it possible! Dare to spoil the good deeds of the county lord, the county lord will not let her go! ”

*

In the small cross-courtyard behind the side of the Chongyue Pavilion.

When Shi Niang appeared in Han Yunniang's room, the whole person had been cleaned up, and there was nothing unusual to see.

Han Yunniang was half-leaning on the couch to drink medicine, compared to when Shi Niang first came back, she was a little fatter at this time, and her whole personality was much better, but there was always a touch of sorrow between her eyebrows, but Han Yunniang had always been like this, and no one paid too much attention to it.

"Yu'er, you're here."

"Mother."

Shi Niang took the medicine bowl in the handmaid's hand and fed Ah Niang the medicine spoonful by spoonful. Han Yunniang had a smile on her face, as if she was very happy. The mother and daughter talked a lot, most of them were daily trivial things, until Shi Niang saw that A-Niang's face showed a tired look, so she helped her lie down on the couch, let her rest well, and left by herself.

No one saw that Han Yunniang, who was lying on the couch and was hidden behind the gauze tent, had a crystal tear hanging under the corner of her closed eyes.

*

It is the hottest time in summer, but this pavilion is a good place to cool off in midsummer because of its special geographical location and very high location, and it faces the entire Taiye Pool.

The laughter in the Lingbo Pavilion was known to all the palace attendants who were waiting in the shade under the pavilion, and only the little cousin of His Royal Highness the Prince, the little lady of the Meng family, came, and this quiet pavilion would be so lively.

Meng Changxi has been familiar with this prince's cousin since she was a child, and she was carried by the elders of the family to see the prince when she was not very old. The prince has been frail since he was a child, and he has always been quiet, and he only watches the emperor's brothers play mischievous everywhere on weekdays, but his little cousin, who is much younger than him, can sit with him to relieve his boredom, after all, little girls are quieter than boys.

Therefore, Meng Changxi has had a good relationship with the prince since she was a child, and the prince is seven years older than Meng Changxi, and he almost treats her as his own sister.

Meng Changxi was coquettish and pouting, which made the usually quiet prince laugh. I laughed excitedly, and I couldn't help but choke a few times. Seeing this, Meng Changxi hurriedly put away the coquettishness of the little daughter's family on her face, holding water in one hand and stroking the prince's back with the other.

"Brother Prince, it's all Chang Xi who is not good, knowing that you are not in good health, and making you laugh, the imperial doctor clearly said that your love is not easy to excite!" Meng Changxi's face was full of guilt.

"Okay, okay, your prince brother and I are not in this body for two days a day, how can there be so many taboos. This East Palace has always been quiet, and everyone doesn't dare to speak, and I don't have any fun, so you can add some laughter to this palace. The prince took a sip of rock sugar pear water and said soothingly.

"I'm afraid that my uncle and his old man will find out and blame me."

The prince joked: "Your uncle is busy with all kinds of opportunities every day, and he can't be busy with government affairs, where would he know about this trivial matter." Aren't you always bold? At this time, I pretended to be cowardly, and when I was a child, I tore up your uncle's recital, and I didn't see you afraid. ”

Meng Changxi stomped her little feet reluctantly, "Wow, Brother Prince, you are making fun of others again." ”

As he was talking, a large plate of fresh melons and fruits was brought by the waiter, green and red, and they were cut into pieces, exuding a moist cool air, which was the best cold melon to relieve the heat in summer.

The prince said: "This is the cold melon from Xingong, which is the most delicious when chilled, but it can't be eaten, and it's cheap for you." ”

Meng Changxi glanced at the prince with disgust, then picked up the small tooth-white skewer inserted on the cold melon, and went to insert the fresh, red and tender, sweet and crispy cold melon to eat.

This cold melon is rare for some people, but it is not ordinary for Meng Changxi. Every summer, the palace will send a basket of this tribute cold melon to the Mengguo Mansion, not to mention that the prince's brother knows that she likes to eat, so he specially allocated this to her to satisfy her hunger.

Meng Changxi was eating cold melon while talking to the prince, don't look at her as a dignified lady in front of outsiders, but she never pays attention to this in front of the prince, because she knows that the prince doesn't like this.

The Meng family seems to be powerful and very favored, but in fact, the situation is like a mirror, without a foundation, relying on the old love for Empress Xiaoxianhui today, and the grandson of the prince. Empress Xiaoxianhui died in childbirth, and the prince lost his mother as soon as he came out of his mother's womb, and the Meng family, as a descendant, was panicked, and he was afraid that His Majesty would have a new person and forget the old person, and he was also afraid that this grandson would not be close to his own family.

Fortunately, Emperor Chengyuan is a person who misses the old, and without his own mother as a bond to maintain the foreign family, the Meng family can only make a bond by itself.

This link is Meng Changxi.

In fact, it stands to reason that it is not Meng Changxi's turn, after all, Meng Changxi is much younger than the prince, and several juniors of the same age in the Meng family have been used in the early years, but unfortunately the prince has been weak since he was a child, and the young children next to him are as old as him, running around and playing, but he is still holding him in the arms of the nurse. When they were older, the boys were all going around like monkeys, and he could only watch.

The Meng family was in a hurry, but it was useless to be anxious, and later Mrs. Meng gave birth to Meng Changxi, who was a young daughter that Meng Xiao had until he was close to middle age. When he was more than two years old, he was brought into the palace, but he didn't know that he had the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the Meng family was very happy.

The prince is not without a sister, although there are not many princesses of Emperor Chengyuan, the prince was brought up by Emperor Chengyuan since he was a child, and when he was young, Emperor Chengyuan was busy with government affairs, and he accompanied the prince in his spare time, for fear that he would not grow up. Those younger sisters were afraid of the majesty of Emperor Chengyuan, and never dared to get close to the prince, so Meng Changxi was bold since she was a child, and she was not afraid of Emperor Chengyuan, the imperial uncle, who often came to play with this prince's cousin.

Meng Changxi has known since she was a child that the reason why her status in the family is higher than that of her brothers is that the whole family holds her and spoils her because she likes the prince's brother. So since she was a child, she consciously or unintentionally did what she liked, until she grew up and understood, she understood the essence of it and did better and better.

The two cousins spoke, most of them were Meng Changxi, and the prince listened, and occasionally made up a few sentences. As she spoke, Meng Changxi brought up a little rain.

"Brother Prince, you coaxed Chang Xi, and said that Xiaoyu is rare in the world, a few days ago Chang Xi went to Xiao's house as a guest and saw a puppy with a purer coat color than Xiaoyu."

"Really?"

The prince raised his eyebrows and asked about the puppy's appearance and coat color. Meng Changxi smiled, and then made a coquettish pretending to complain, listening to it, the prince laughed.

"It turns out that you're talking about that dog, I'm afraid it's a litter with Xiaoyu, maybe it's still born by a father. Lone remembers that Fanbang paid tribute that year, there were two of them, and they looked about the same, but Lone felt that there was a peach-heart-shaped black hair on the top of his head, which looked very special, and was playful and cute, so he specially picked that one for you. If you knew that you liked the pure white one, Lone would have picked the pure white one for you. Later, when he saw that the fifth brother was injured, he stayed in the dormitory all day long and didn't want to go out, so he gave him that one to relieve his boredom. ”

"How could Chang Xi not like the little rain that the prince's brother chose, Chang Xi just thought it was strange, why did the Xiao family have a dog that looked similar to Xiao Yudian, except for the black hair on the top of his head, it was almost identical. But since it was given to the king of Chu by the prince's brother, how could he go to the Xiao family? Meng Changxi frowned in confusion.

The prince glanced at her and said, "You said this, this lonely person knows, the fifth brother went to Lanling that year, who knew that he met Shui Kou halfway, and it was a little lady of the Meng family who saved him by mistake." For this reason, the father also gave a county lord to the little lady, and the little lady and the fifth brother are also cousins, so he gave the puppy to her. After all, the fifth brother is a man, so where can he raise such a small thing. ”

Meng Changxi sighed, "I see." ”

"What? Lonely little cousin jealous? ”

Meng Changxi suddenly blushed, full of shyness, "What's the matter, brother prince, don't make fun of others." ”

"But it is said that Xi'er seems to have a special view of Lone's fifth brother?" The prince laughed and joked.

"Nothing, nothing! Brother Prince, you will make fun of others, hmph, people will go home and stop playing with you! ”

With that, the girl stomped away, followed by a series of men's hearty laughter.
