Chapter 273
"First of all, His Highness didn't say it explicitly, don't let you go out, Miss, we just need to pretend not to know. The first slave maid of romance thought, His Royal Highness was also afraid that Miss and Princess Rou'an would quarrel again, so he said that, right? If the young lady took the initiative to admit her mistake with Princess Rou'an and repair the relationship, how could Her Highness be angry? Mother Zhou persuaded earnestly, "And, miss, this is really the best opportunity in recent times." Just now, the slave maid chatted with those girls, and I got some news, the capital has been surging recently, and it is not very calm. When we don't understand the situation, we can't just take action. Therefore, if this opportunity is missed, the young lady will probably have no excuse or opportunity to take the initiative to get close to His Highness for a long time. β
This is a bit hurtful, but it is also a big truth, judging from Shang Qirui's appearance just now, he obviously decided not to have any contact with Wen Meier for a short period of time in the future. Wen Meier gritted her teeth and nodded under Zhou's mother's expectant eyes: "Okay, since Mom, you said so, I will just listen to you." β
"Miss, you are so sensible, the slave and maid will be relieved." Mother Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, giving Wen Meier the illusion that she was already in tears in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel sour, how did it become like this?
Shang Qirui got up early in the morning to see Princess Rou'an, but saw that Princess Rou'an was asking the servants to prepare a carriage for her, obviously preparing to leave.
Shang Qirui's first reaction was that Princess Rou'an was still angry, a little distressed and helpless, and let the embarrassed girl go down first.
"What? Are you still angry with the third brother? Shang Qirui walked over. looked at Princess Rou'an with a little doting.
"No anger...... Princess Rou'an was a little embarrassed, she still wanted to leave early, everyone was not embarrassed, but she didn't expect Shang Qirui to get up so early and let him bump into him.
"I'm really not angry...... Princess Rou'an emphasized, after a night of digestion, to be honest, she is really not so angry, not that she is not angry with Wen Meier, she still doesn't like Wen Meier. It's just for the current princess of Joan. Wen Meier's matter. It's really not a big deal. She had more important things to do. Therefore, if you want to leave immediately, it's not that you're angry with Shang Qirui, but that you really want to do something.
"I just want to go back to the palace. See my father. Princess Joan explained.
"But. Father should still be angry by now. You go back at this time. He's afraid it's ...... I won't be very happy, maybe I'll punish you again......" Shang Qirui said euphemistically. Princess Rou'an knew very well in her heart that the emperor was not possible, but must have been angry. However, these are things that she should not avoid.
"I did something wrong. Those who should be punished must bear it themselves, and they can't hide from it. Princess Rou'an said very simply, "I have something I want to tell my father." β
Shang Qirui rarely saw such a neat and neat princess Rou'an, hesitated slightly, and said, "Then I'll accompany you into the palace." β
"No need." Princess Rou'an smiled, "I'm also grown up, I can't let the queen mother let you protect me for the rest of my life, I have to be sensible, and I have to bear my own self-blame." β
You guys? Shang Qirui was stunned for a moment before he reacted. What Princess Rou'an said may be Mu Wenhan's matter. Therefore, Princess Rou'an was distressed when she saw Mu Wenhan injured like that, and she also wanted to fight for it herself. Although I don't know what Princess Rou'an wants to say to the emperor, and she may really be punished by the emperor even more. However, Shang Qirui still supports her idea.
Feelings are a matter of two people, no one must pay more than whom, and no one stipulates who must pay for whom. But if in a relationship. If there is only one person who pays all the time, it will definitely not work.
"Rou'an, you've really grown up." Shang Qirui sighed a little and rubbed Princess Rou'an's head. The former princess of Joan was not naΓ―ve. She is also very mature and sensible, but in fact, she is still like a child in her heart, and she avoids the most things when she encounters them. If you don't like it, you won't touch it, and if you don't like to do it, you will try to avoid it, hide in your own little world and refuse to come out, like a distressing child. Right now. Because of Mu Wenhan, she began to take the initiative to stand up and face difficulties, which made Shang Qirui begin to feel reassured.
"In that case, the third brother can rest assured that I will go back, right?" Princess Rou'an saw that Shang Qirui understood her so well, and her mood was much better, revealing a sincere smile.
"Okay, I'll let you go back." Shang Qirui nodded, and then admonished, "However, let's leave after breakfast." And, remember, it's good to have the courage to face difficulties, but don't rush forward blindly, sometimes you have to pay attention to the desire to advance and retreat, anyway, protecting yourself is the first thing, understand? β
Regarding the emperor's thoughts, even if Shang Qirui has lived for two lives, he still can't completely guess that he is really worried about Princess Rou'an. I was afraid that she would see that Mu Wenhan was injured and couldn't turn around, so she simply thought that she was also injured or something. Princess Rou'an's small body can't afford to toss so much.
"It's said that I'm not a child anymore, I know ......" Princess Rou'an's coquettish expression froze on her face, and her face slowly changed.
"What's wrong?" Shang Qirui was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw Wen Mei'er standing at the door with a cramped and uneasy face, and did not come in directly.
Shang Qirui frowned slightly, took two steps towards the door, and his tone was quite calm: "Why are you here?" β
"I'm here to ask the princess for my guilt." Wen Meier saw that Shang Qirui had spoken, and there was no sign of anger, so she boldly walked into the house.
Please? Shang Qirui's brows furrowed even tighter, didn't he tell her yesterday, this matter has passed, why did she come back? However, now that Princess Rou'an is here, Shang Qirui can't make decisions for her casually.
Shang Qirui hesitated, took two steps diagonally, and stopped in front of Wen Mei'er, so that she couldn't continue to move forward. But he didn't speak, only looked back at Princess Joan.
Princess Rou'an was indeed very unhappy the moment she saw Wen Mei'er coming, but at this time. It's almost adjusted. Looking at Shang Qirui's reaction, he knew that he was very embarrassed. walked over with a smile and said to Wen Mei'er: "Concubine Wen doesn't have to be like this, there is no such thing as asking for guilt or not, I can't afford it." β
This is said to mean that it is not investigated, but the unhappiness in the words can be heard by anyone.
Wen Meier was a little embarrassed when she saw Shang Qirui stopping her, and now she was even more embarrassed when she heard Princess Rou'an's words, but she thought of the purpose of her coming. And you can't be angry.
"Princess. Don't say that. Yesterday's thing. It's all my fault, it's me who is jealous of Miss Mu, so I don't choose what to say to the princess. I didn't mean to offend the princess in the slightest, but I was sad to say that. It's been a long time since I've seen His Highness. Miss Mu has a good family background. He is smart and beautiful. Naturally, I was also uneasy. Princesses are also women. You can understand my nervousness, right? But I swear, I really don't have any resentment against the princess or Miss Mu. It's me myself who is not happy with myself. After thinking about it all night last night, I realized that I was really too headstrong. It's my fault that I'm not good enough, not the fault of the princess or Miss Mu. What I'm going to do is not jealousy. It's about making yourself better. I hope the princess will forgive me for being careless and not taking my words to heart. We are all a family, and we should unite together in order to help His Highness. Wen Mei'er said very sincerely, and after a pause at this point, she said, "As long as I can relieve the princess, no matter what the princess wants me to do, I am willing to do it." β
Princess Rou'an is a little stupid, such a Wen Meier and the arrogant and calculating Wen Meier yesterday. Apparently it's not the same person. Which Wen Meier is the real Wen Meier? Is it true that as Wen Meier said, she was just blinded by jealousy yesterday? The gentle and dignified Wen Meier in front of her is the real Wen Meier? Or, Wen Meier is still continuing to act today?
Princess Rou'an's experience is still shallow, and she can't tell if what Wen Meier said is the truth. However, Wen Meier's tone today was very sincere, and she directly said the jealousy of Mu Qingge in her heart, which seemed to be very sincere. After all, he is also the person that Shang Qirui likes to maintain, so there must still be merit, right? Maybe she was really just unintentional yesterday, Princess Joan said to herself. Hearing Wen Meier say that she hadn't seen Shang Qirui for a long time, Princess Rou'an thought about it if she and Mu Wenhan got married. If you haven't seen him for a long time, what will it feel like? As Wen Meier said, she is also a woman, and she can understand Wen Meier's uneasiness in her heart. For example. If Mu Wenhan married herself and was still involved with Miss Liu Qi, her reaction would probably be more intense than Wen Mei'er, right?
Suddenly a little panicked in her heart, Princess Rou'an looked at Shang Qirui and found that the latter had an expectant look in his eyes. Princess Rou'an squeezed out a smile and said, "Concubine Wen is too worried. I'm really not angry anymore. Yesterday's incident, but a trivial matter, has passed, so Concubine Wen doesn't have to take it to heart. However, I still want to say that it's not that I'm partial to Mu Qingge. It's just that Mu Qingge is really a good girl, she won't rely on her family background to do anything to Concubine Wen, I hope you can relax. As you yourself said, the family should be united and guess right in harmony, which is the greatest help to the third brother. β
Wen Mei'er breathed a sigh of relief, although Princess Rou'an didn't say the word "forgive", but she said that she wanted to get along with Mu Qingge, which showed that she had actually let go of her heart. Otherwise, she couldn't have said such a thing.
Since Princess Rou'an is okay here, what about Shang Qirui? This is what Wen Meier cares about the most. secretly looked at Shang Qirui's expression, but found that Shang Qirui was still the same as yesterday, and his expression had not changed, that is, he couldn't see that he was angry, and he couldn't see that he was moved in the slightest.
Wen Meier suddenly felt very helpless, her heart was sour, and her eyes involuntarily turned red.
"As long as you are well, it will be the greatest help to the third brother." Shang Qirui hugged Princess Rou'an for a while, and then turned his head to Wen Mei'er and said, "I've said it all, Rou'an is not such a stingy person, you think too much...... Go back quickly, don't think too much, it's not good for your health. β
"Yes, it's the concubine who thinks too much......" Wen Mei'er was a little unwilling, but she didn't dare to come out, and left according to Shang Qirui's meaning.
Princess Rouan looked at the two of them, a little puzzled. It stands to reason that Shang Qirui's tone and expression are all towards Wen Meier, but why, he is not willing to leave Wen Meier to come down for breakfast together? Is he afraid that he will quarrel with Wen Meier again? However, Shang Qirui said so. Princess Rou'an will not take the initiative to mention it. Moreover, she didn't really want to eat with Wen Meier, although she had decided not to care about those small frictions, she would always unconsciously think about what she said.
"Let's go, let's go to dinner, don't you still want to go back to see your father?" Shang Qirui smiled and asked Princess Rou'an to go to breakfast with him, obviously not wanting to mention it again for Wen Meier.
"Okay." Princess Rou'an nodded in agreement, even more sure that she couldn't mention it again.
Return to the palace from the Three Princes' Palace. It's not too early. Princess Rouan thought for a moment. When he heard that the emperor was in the imperial study, he went directly and did not go to see the queen first. By the time Empress Xue got the notice, Princess Rou'an was already in the imperial study.
"Princess. Why don't you go back? The emperor said it earlier. He didn't want to see anyone today. "The eunuch guarding the door saw Princess Joan. Kindly persuaded, "The slave is not in a good mood today. If you don't have anything important, come back another day. β
These eunuchs have been in the palace for a long time, and they are naturally very clear about the affairs in the palace. For a character like Princess Rou'an, who is at the bottom of the palace food chain, they often look at it with pity. Moreover, the queen also secretly let them take care of Princess Joan. So, naturally happy to sell well.
Princess Rou'an swallowed nervously, her luck was really bad, the emperor didn't like him in the first place, and now he was in a bad mood. Moreover, the emperor is in a bad mood, and I don't know if it has anything to do with what he broke out yesterday. If you go in now, you're likely to be exposed to the Emperor's wrath right away, right? But. Is it because the emperor is in a bad mood that he doesn't do what he should do?
"It's okay, let's trouble my father-in-law to report it." Princess Rou'an said firmly, "If my father doesn't see me, I'll talk about it." β
"Okay." The eunuch shook his head slightly, with a little regret, how could these young people be like this, and they had to run to cause trouble when the emperor was in a bad mood again and again. However, the luck of the first few was good, but this princess is afraid that she is not so lucky.
The eunuch cautiously pushed open the door. Seeing that the emperor was frowning, sitting on a chair with a heavy face, I saw him push open the door. The sharp eyes stabbed like a knife. The eunuch shuddered, scolded Princess Rou'an in his heart, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, Princess Rou'an asked to see her outside, saying that she had something to say to her Majesty in person." β
"Nope!" The emperor waved his hand impatiently, what could she do?
"Yes. The slave went to sue Princess SΓΉ. The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, he had already said that the emperor would not see it.
ββ¦β¦ Wait......" The emperor said suddenly at the moment when the eunuch closed the door.
"Huh? His Majesty ...... "The eunuch hurried back, could it be that the emperor had something else to do?"
"Let her in." The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, as if he was holding back his anger.
The eunuch was dumbfounded, he had been with the emperor for so long, and it was not once or twice that he saw him holding back his anger, but it was the first time he had seen someone like Princess Rou'an.
"Ah...... Yes, the slave will go and inform the princess......" The eunuch replied in a little panic and withdrew.
"Princess, please, Your Majesty will let you in." The eunuch made a gesture of invitation to Princess Rou'an, and after seeing the joy on Princess Rou'an's face, he couldn't help but admonish, "Your Majesty is in a bad mood, the princess should pay attention to it......"
It's not that he is really worried about Princess Rou'an, this eunuch is only worried about his own life. There were often those who were not afraid of death who came to challenge the emperor's limit of patience, and often the result was that those who served them suffered from the fish pond. Thinking about the murderous eyes of the emperor today, the eunuch still had palpitations in his heart. Even, the eunuch had the illusion that the emperor let Princess Rou'an in at this time, just to find a punching bag. That's why he repeatedly reminded Princess Rou'an, it doesn't matter if you look for death, don't affect me.
Princess Rou'an was a little moved, in this palace, except for those few people, there are not many people who can be like this, but she completely ignores the eunuch's heart at the moment. After thanking the eunuch, Princess Rou'an pushed open the heavy door and entered.
"Rou'an, please greet my father." As soon as Princess Rou'an pushed the door open, she saw the hidden anger and faint sadness on the emperor's face against the light, I don't know why, my heart was a little sour, such an emperor is still a little different from her father who has been in awe for more than ten years. Such an emperor actually gave Princess Rou'an an an illusion that he was a little vulnerable. Princess Rou'an felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, so she knelt down.
"Please be safe, please be safe, what are you kneeling for?" The emperor raised his head, his expression was very flat, and the previous feelings were really just a temporary illusion of Princess Rou'an.
"I ...... I'm here to plead guilty. Princess Rou'an faced this familiar father, and her heart immediately became nervous, and her heart jumped to her throat.
"What did you do? Shouldn't the crime go to the criminal department? The emperor's expression still did not change, and the look in Princess Rou'an's eyes was like looking at an insignificant person.
The tension in her heart was a little less, but the sadness filled her whole heart, Princess Rou'an lowered her head slightly, and said bitterly: "I...... I came to ask for the guilt of leaving the palace without permission yesterday, and my father said that he would not let me leave the palace recently, but I did not listen to my father's words and was willing to accept any punishment. β
Looking at his daughter kneeling on the ground, Emperor Shang Jing felt a little strange. He has never had any impression of this daughter, and the impressions in his heart are all heard from others. Frail, quiet and weak, does not like to talk...... However, the princess of Rou'an in front of her now. It doesn't match any of Shang Jingdi's impressions. Emperor Shang Jing could feel that Princess Rou'an was still nervous kneeling there, but it seemed to be more of a firm belief and feeling. There was nervousness, but there was no feeling of being scared and helpless. This was different from what Emperor Shang Jing imagined, so Emperor Shang Jing couldn't help but lose his mind.
"Father?" Princess Rou'an saw that Emperor Shang Jing was silent for a long time, and her heart became more and more worried, and she couldn't help but look up.
"Why did you run out when you knew you were wrong?" When this sentence was asked, Emperor Shang Jing himself was a little surprised. In fact, the eunuch guessed correctly, Emperor Shang Jing promised to see Princess Rou'an, and he really wanted to vent his feelings. In a bad mood, I want to lose my temper by taking advantage of Princess Rou'an's escape from the palace. But I didn't expect that after Princess Rou'an raised it herself, Emperor Shang Jing was not so angry, and unconsciously asked a question with little technical content.
"This ......" Princess Rou'an hesitated, but still told the truth, anyway, the matter between her and Mu Wenhan, Emperor Shang Jing had known for a long time, and it was useless to hide it, and frankly it might make Emperor Shang Jing feel sincere, "I heard that Mu Gongzi was injured, so I want to go and see him......"
Mu Wenhan's injury, Shang Jingdi really didn't know. It can't be said that he doesn't know, he still heard some rumors, but he deliberately didn't pay much attention to it. In fact, on the night when Mu Qi beat Mu Wenhan, when Mu Qi entered the palace, he also mentioned that he beat Mu Wenhan, but Emperor Shang Jing never thought that he would hurt Mu Wenhan. Thinking about it is at most a slap in the face.
He ...... How did it get hurt? What's going on now? Emperor Shang Jing once again asked a question that he hadn't thought of.
Princess Rou'an was even more dumbfounded, according to her guess, shouldn't Emperor Shang Jing be furious about what happened to him running out? What's going on now? The calm before the storm? Or is it that in fact, the emperor is not so angry in his heart? Princess Rou'an quickly turned her brain, wanting to analyze the true thoughts in Emperor Shang Jing's heart at the moment.
"It's not a big deal anymore, it's just ...... was beaten by Master Taifu...... "Princess Rou'an analyzed in her heart, and did not forget to quickly answer Emperor Shang Jing, these are not secrets, as long as you have a heart, you can find out at once, there is no need for her to hide it."
"Master Taifu has always loved Brother Han, how could he be willing to hurt Brother Han? Is there some misunderstanding in the middle? Emperor Shang Jing adjusted his sitting posture, and his expression still did not change, but the meaning of this question made Princess Rou'an not so relaxed.
Mu Qi beat Mu Wenhan, looking at it has nothing to do with herself, but in fact, of course, she can't get out of the relationship. However, how to admit it in front of Emperor Shang Jing? Does he feel embarrassed? (To be continued.) )
