Chapter 120: Grounding
Wenzong and Concubine Shu returned to Yuede Palace, and Concubine Shuzong diligently helped Wenzong change into his regular clothes, and asked people to serve lotus seed soup for Wenzong to drink.
Sitting on the side, he said: "Don't be angry, it's not that the prince hides the dragon robe." However, the concubine said a lot, the princess was too disagreeable, and she beat and scolded the slaves at every turn, and I heard that the servants in the East Palace complained a lot. ”
"This is the crown princess chosen by the Bai family and the sixth child, hum! What can I do! ”
"Marry a wife! I don't know how my sister fell in love with this daughter-in-law, how virtuous my sister is! ”
"Virtuous?" As soon as Wenzong heard Concubine Shu praising Queen Bai, he immediately changed his face, "Marry a daughter-in-law like a mother-in-law!" What kind of good daughter-in-law can the Bai family choose and teach the son...... Hum! Wen Zong originally wanted to say that the son he taught was not virtuous, but he remembered Qin Hao's words in front of the East Palace, and swallowed it back.
But when I thought that she was Bai Nianqing's son, I was depressed again.
"The crown prince and the crown princess are still young, it would be good if the saint taught more, this time it was a false accusation by the palace people, and next time if a minister made a false accusation, it would not be a joke for people to see the royal family!"
"Well, I can't spare them this time!" If it weren't for the incident caused by the Li family, why would he have retreated speechlessly in front of the White Queen? "Go to the East Palace to spread my message, the crown princess Li does not know how to be benevolent and act arrogantly, the prince has a loss in governing the family, the two of them are grounded for a month, and they think about their own mistakes!"
Concubine Shu opened her mouth to speak, "You don't have to intercede for them!" ”
"Well, the concubines don't intercede for them. The saint has been busy all day and rests early, what will he do with the false accusation slave tomorrow? ”
"That minion, I'll leave it to you for trial."
"It's not good, after all, it's the queen mother who is now in charge of the six palaces."
"What are you worried about, the slave of the East Palace, she can't avoid suspicion?"
"Okay, the concubine obeys." Concubine Shu was satisfied with the order.
By the time dawn, the news that the crown princess had been grounded for abusing the palace people had spread, and Prime Minister Li Cheng heard about it and sat at home for a long time.
"Father, how is this good? I have to think of a way, I can't let Duan Niang ruin it! "Li Shilang came to his father early in the morning to discuss, if the Li family is rejected by the royal family, then how will she live the rest of her life? A mother and siblings, their brother and sister also have a good relationship.
"Figured out? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also been grounded, and your sister has pitted His Highness! What else can we think of? "Prime Minister Li really didn't expect that this daughter would lose her mind so much, Wenzong has never liked His Royal Highness the Prince, if this damages the status of the prince, not only the Li family and their Li family will be finished, "You confess your sins with your father, you remember, the fault is only Duan Niang, as long as His Royal Highness the Prince is fine, for the sake of our Li family's loyalty, your sister will always be able to live." "It's just that she can only rely on herself to live well.
Li Shilang naturally understood what his father meant, but the family said what they should have said, and they persuaded what they should have persuaded, what else could they do?
There were rumors outside, but the grounded East Palace was quiet. When Wenzong's dictation came, the Li family was stunned, and the crown prince Qin Hao sat in the princess's bedroom, without saying a word, watching the Li family go from crying to sobbing, and then to sitting still and not daring to look at himself, and the night passed quickly.
When the sky was slightly bright, Qin Hao stood up.
"Your Highness......" Li shouted.
"There was originally a dragon robe in that box, which was secretly buried in the backyard of the study. Miss Han, it was the Han Nushi at that time who discovered this. If she hadn't happened to find out, last night would have been our death. Shouldn't we look the other way on that basis? This time, it's hard to say whether we can pass this hurdle, so think about it. Qin Hao didn't look back and said.
"My father and brother will find a way, they must have a way." Li Shi didn't know whether to comfort himself or Qin Hao, and muttered.
"The daughter of the prime minister, Miss Shijia, it seems that Prime Minister Li spoils you too much." Qin Hao finished speaking in disappointment and didn't stay.
"Mama, what should we do?" Li panicked, pulled Mama Li and asked.
Mama Li sighed, "Niangniang, you first copy the scriptures that the queen wants." ”
"Well, come on, hurry up and put a paper inkstone on the bookcase." For the first time, Li Shi did not complain, and began to do things with trepidation.
In the afternoon, Concubine Shu interrogated the palace person, and this palace person turned out to be the eyeliner arranged by Concubine Li in the East Palace! When Concubine Shu reported this to Wenzong, Wenzong ordered someone to bring the confession to Concubine Li and let her defend herself.
Concubine Li couldn't say anything else except shouting grievances. This palace person is indeed her person, no matter how she defends herself, she is peeping at the prince.
is also the favorite concubine of the holy favor for a while, and then there is a gap, after the lady concubine Niangniang persuaded her to come out for a long time, Concubine Li was demoted to a concubine, and the eighth prince was equal to a complete loss of the throne. In the palace, the mother is expensive by the son, the son is expensive by the mother, the son of a concubine, what else is there to fight for?
Concubine Li ran to kneel outside the queen's palace to beg, but she didn't even see the queen's face.
The dragon robe turmoil in the East Palace has passed, but the gossip about the crown princess's tyranny and immorality has been spread, and even the prince's reputation has been affected.
After Jinwen heard the news, he also sighed for the prince, and the backyard was demolished, and it was impossible to prevent it.
But she just sighed, after all, the affairs in the palace, if you don't make trouble, it's a matter of killing your head. Unexpectedly, in the evening, Han Jinshu brought the news of the queen's mother, and wanted Jinwen to find Miss Zheng Jia, the eighth princess who had not passed through the door, and remind Concubine Li to dig behind the palace man again.
In this way, Jin Wen guessed that this palace person would definitely be able to get involved with Concubine Shu's palace in the end, "Why is the queen looking for me?" Jin Wen felt that he couldn't find anyone here, and there were many people in the Li family and the Bai family.
"The queen mother wants this to be hidden, and the Li family and the Bai family are too biased to talk."
"But I'm the same, brother, your position is naturally my position."
"It's different, you don't see much of the ladies in the capital, and many people don't know you."
It turned out that I wanted to inadvertently spread the news.
"In the next few days, there will be a gathering of young ladies in Baifu, you can just act when you have the opportunity." Jin Shu said, thinking of the crown princess again, "It will be difficult for the princess to go to people in the future, and this is also her retribution!" ”
Jin Wen knew that his brother had always remembered the whip that the crown princess had rewarded him, "My brother is a person who does great things, so you don't have to think about this all the time." Of course Jinwen hates the crown princess, but when he thinks of her future days, he really doesn't need to remember her.
Within a few days, Jinwen received a post from Bai Jingxi in Baifu, inviting her to attend the lotus banquet, and it is said that several young ladies were invited, so Jinwen was naturally happy to go to the banquet.
When I arrived at Bai Mansion, as soon as I entered the second gate, Bai Jingxi had already greeted her: "Sister Wen, you are here, come quickly." ”
She pulled Jinwen to introduce the ladies of each family, "Later, there will be a young lady from the general Zhenguo's family who will also come." ”
"Miss Zheng is still in the mood to come today?" The quick-talking young lady asked.
"She said that she wanted to come to relax, and when she got married, she would be even more restrained." Bai Jingxi said. (To be continued.) )
