"The old man hasn't gone to find Chengguo Gong to settle accounts, but you have found it, so it's okay, the old man and you will go to find His Majesty to judge and see whose fault it is."

Ji Yi snorted, and dragged Cheng Ping'an, who had a look of shame on his face, to go out.

"Old Xiangye, Xiangye." Cheng Ping'an was even more ashamed: "I really didn't expect Ling Qianjin to think about it so much, it's really my fault." ”

"Unexpected?" Ji Yi sneered: "There are so many things you didn't expect, you don't think of anything to me, don't shirk your young age, you have been a family for many years, don't say anything ignorant." ”

"Xiangye." Cheng Ping'an was a little afraid: "I really didn't think of it, I thought I really liked Ling Qianjin, besides, I just went to the door a few more times, Ling Qianjin is right, this Jing family retreated from his family is unreasonable, how could Ling Qianjin not think about it?" ”

Ji Yi really wanted to fan him with a big-eared scraper: "The old man won't tell you much, you will give the old man a roll now, and in the future, the people of your Chengguo Mansion will dare to come to the gate of my Ji family, no matter who it is, see an old man beat one." ”

"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Cheng Ping'an saw that Ji Yi was angry like that, and he was afraid that he would be really angry at his age, so he persuaded him to leave immediately.

When he came out of the Privy Council, Cheng Ping'an still pulled his head and thought hard, he really didn't understand why Ji Xiaoniang committed suicide, but it was just a family matter, besides, the Jing family is not a good family, just retire if you quit your family, according to Ji Xiaoniang's family background and appearance, she can't find a good one, and besides, she has a deep affection for her, and she won't dislike her for quitting her family, as long as she nods, she will immediately call someone to get married, what is she afraid of.

I really don't understand, Cheng Ping'an didn't have the face to reason with the people of the Ji family, so he could only go back to the Chengguo Mansion with his head down.

As soon as he went back, the Zhou family called someone to call him into the house, and saw that he was just in a bad spirit, and he was not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Son, let's eat this loss, the people of the Ji family are really not easy to mess with." ”

Cheng Ping'an sat down, still in a trance: "Mother, do you know that the little lady of the Ji family committed suicide a few days ago?" ”

"Suicide?" Zhou was also taken aback: "How did you kill yourself?" ”

Cheng Ping'an lowered his head: "I heard that it was because I entangled the Jing family and retreated, and the little lady Ji couldn't think about it for a while, so she hanged herself." ”

"How so?" Zhou sat up violently, grabbed Cheng Ping'an's hand and asked, "But really?" ”

Cheng Ping'an nodded: "Really." ”

Zhou Shizi gasped: "No wonder, no wonder Wu Shi is so angry, it turns out that there are such things in the meantime, it's this, this, we can only eat it." ”

She looked at Cheng Ping'an again: "Son, this Liangzi and the Ji family have made an agreement, you don't have to think about marrying Ji Xiaoniang anymore, and when your mother is injured, I will be optimistic with you." ”

Cheng Ping'an still remembered Ji Songxian in his heart, and where was he willing, he raised his head violently: "Mother, you don't care about this matter, and wait for the people of the Ji family to dissipate the anger of the son before thinking about it, didn't the Feng family follow his son because of his talent, at that time, the Feng family didn't look down on his son, and this Ji family is too, as long as Ji Xiaoniang has the heart to follow her son, what else can the people of the Ji family do." ”

Zhou thought about the Feng family, who was desperate for Cheng Ping'an, and thought about the woman in Cheng Ping'an's backyard, and also nodded: "What my son said is that with my son's appearance, what lady doesn't like it, and wait." ”

Ji Songxian and Wu talked for a while, and accompanied Wu to do needlework, and when Ji Yi came back, Wu and Ji Yi discussed, thinking that Ji Songxian would always hold on to him, his family was so faceless and skinless, his own family was really helpless, it was better to take Ji Songxian to hide, Wu bought a Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs because he thought about his family, the Zhuangzi was the former Ministry of Rites Lang's family, because the whole family returned to the hometown, the Zhuangzi was sold, this Zhuangzi is good, the scenery is also good, it is better to go there to live for a while.

On the morning of the second day, Wu told Ji Songxian that he was going to live in Zhuangzi, and Ji Songxian was also willing, so he went back to the room to tidy up his things after dinner, and waited for him to go to Zhuangzi in the suburbs to play in the future.

It's just that Ji Songxian sorted out the sundries, and saw the girl in Wu's house come over and call her to the front.

Ji Songxian hurriedly put down the wrapping skin that was wrapping things, straightened his clothes, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw an aunt in the palace sitting and drinking tea, and saw Ji Songxian looking up and down and laughing: "The queen mother heard that the little lady Ji has a good appearance and the most kind temperament, so she wants to call into the palace to talk, little lady, please." ”

Wu got up and smiled: "My daughter is the most shy, and she hasn't gone out much, if there is anything wrong after entering the palace, please take care of my aunt." ”

While speaking, Wu quietly handed over the silver, but the aunt glanced at it twice but confiscated it: "Mrs. Ji is slapping us in the face, the care is certain, why do you have to ask you to break the bank." ”

As soon as Wu saw this, his heart lifted.

Ji Songxian was also a little nervous and scared, in fact, the people in the palace are all rich and noble, and they are the most greedy for money, but they don't want to loot some good things, but this aunt doesn't want the silver sent to the door, and there must be something strange in it.

It's just that the Queen Mother announced, and Ji Songxian didn't shirk it, so he could only smile and say: "Wait for me to change my clothes before leaving, so as not to lose my manners." ”

Waiting for the aunt to nod, Ji Songxian went back to the room and changed into more solemn clothes.

After getting out of the door of Ji's house and sitting in the sedan chair that came to carry people in the palace, Ji Songxian entered the palace full of worries.

The sedan chair entered through the back door, Ji Songxian got off the sedan chair and followed his aunt forward, all the way through the imperial garden, bypassing the twelve courtyards and the thirteenth hall, and passing a long road at the northwest corner gate to the Qingning Palace, where the queen mother lived.

When he arrived at Qingning Palace, it was already in the middle of the day, Ji Songxian was really tired from walking this way, and as soon as he entered Qingning Palace, he felt a burst of cool air coming to his face, and he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

Seeing the people coming and going in the Qingning Palace, the palace people kept shuttling, but they didn't ask, they knew the queen mother's wrist, thinking that the queen mother had hung the curtain for many years, and it was only a few years ago that the political affairs were returned to His Majesty, Ji Songxian was nervous again.

She stood in the courtyard of Qingning Palace, waiting for her aunt in the palace to go in to report, but she didn't see anyone come out, and no one wanted to tell her what to do, Ji Songxian's heart was even more bottomless, but this was the palace inside, and she didn't dare to do anything, so she could only stand still.

After a while, I saw a palace beauty bring more than a dozen palace eunuchs into the door, and the beauty glanced at her and pouted: "You are Ji Xiang's daughter Ji Songxian?" ”

Ji Songxian didn't know which one this beauty was, but he still greeted him according to the rules: "I've seen a nobleman." ”

A palace man stepped forward and said, "This is Princess Jinyang." ”

Ji Songxian immediately knelt down and asked for peace: "The courtiers have seen Princess Jinyang. ”

Princess Jinyang stood on the ground and looked at Ji Songxian coldly, looked at it for a while, waved her sleeves and entered the door, but left a sentence: "It's such an unruly thing, kneel for a while." ”

It was only at this time that Ji Songxian understood in his heart, saying that the Queen Mother wanted to see her, but it was Princess Jinyang who called her into the palace in the name of the Queen Mother, I am afraid it was just to humiliate her, but she didn't know that she had no hatred or hatred with Princess Jinyang, and she had never even met in person, why did Princess Jinyang do this?

Ji Songxian knelt on the ground, watching the palace people coming in and out, but no one paid attention to her, she only felt that her face was spicy, and her heart was suddenly very sad.

In order not to cause trouble to her parents, she could only grit her teeth and kneel, not daring to say a word.

At this time, the sun was thick, Ji Songxian knelt for a while and felt that his knees were painful, and he couldn't stop bleeding beads of sweat on his body, and even more so on his forehead, the beads of sweat were pulled to the ground by avoiding the horn, but after a while, the clothes were already on his body.

At this time, I heard a burst of laughter in the Qingning Palace, but it was Princess Jinyang who looked at her through the curtain, and laughed while watching: "Queen Mother, you only praise the little lady of the Ji family for her good looks, and I also said that she must have been dressed with powder, but now it seems that it is not, if it is really powdered, I am afraid that my son will be washed away by sweat, but I don't want to admit defeat, so I can only wronged her for a while." ”

Hearing this, Ji Songxian's heart was suddenly angry, and he felt extremely humiliated.

If she was really at fault, the Queen Mother and Princess Jinyang told her to kneel, even if she broke her knee, she would not cry bitterly, but these two people clearly bet on her, make fun of her, and treat her as something, even prostitutes and prostitutes are not like this.

Holding back his tears, Ji Songxian clenched his fists and tried to suppress his anger, but his heart turned sharply, thinking about how to get out of trouble.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the Qingning Palace, and after that, it was a person who entered the courtyard.

Ji Songxian lowered his head but didn't look at it, only to see a pair of feet standing outside the house around her and said coldly: "I've seen the Queen Mother, I've seen Princess Jinyang, Your Majesty has just summoned Ji Xiang to discuss politics, Ji Xiang is going to leave the palace at this time, so I want to take Ji Xiaoniang with me, but I don't know if the Queen Mother has finished asking." ”

"It's not interesting." Princess Jinyang complained, followed by a voice with some old but still clear voice: "Let's ask her to come with you." ”

The man agreed, walked up to Ji Songxian and said softly: "Little lady Ji, come along, Ji Xiang is still waiting for you outside." ”

Ji Songxian nodded, and first tried to stand up with her hands, but she knelt for too long, it was a little difficult, and the person was not easy to help, Ji Songxian could only get up a little bit, and as soon as he stood up, he saw a branch handed to him, Ji Songxian raised his eyes and looked over, and saw the commander of the brocade guard nodding to her with kindness: "Little lady, hold on, you can't walk." ”

Ji Songxian thanked her, stretched out his hand to hold the branch, and the Jinyi guard commanded Cheng Huaijin to lead her out of Qingning Palace.

After walking through the long road, Ji Songxian asked in a hoarse voice, "I don't know where my father is?" ”

Cheng Huaijin turned his head violently, glanced at Ji Songxian, and whispered: "There has never been Ji Xiang, but I heard that Princess Jinyang summoned the little lady into the palace with the intention of humiliating, so she borrowed the name of Her Majesty Xià and Ji Xiang to help the little lady." ”
