Chapter 10: The Prince Finds Fault
However, they couldn't find a reason to overturn his theory, and they were persuaded by him.
Celestia was in a good mood and took a sip of the wine at her table.
At this moment, the apprentice behind Zunxian was called by a small eunuch outside the field, and after a while, the apprentice came back and said a few words in Zunxian's ear, Zunxian's face changed, and he saluted the eldest princess and said goodbye.
After Zunxian left in a hurry, the eldest princess just wanted to say that everyone could eat, but before she could speak, a herald from her father-in-law came from outside the garden.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
Everyone's hearts tightened, the eldest princess frowned slightly, and Grandpa Zhang looked nervous......
Only Lian Xiao seems to have expected this moment for a long time, and his face has not changed for ten thousand years, with a expressionless and gentle and low-key face.
"Say hello to the queen!"
Under the leadership of the eldest princess, everyone greeted the queen mother, the eldest princess bent over, and the others knelt.
Under normal circumstances, the queen mother should reply, "Flat!" Everyone stood up, but at this moment, the queen mother wearing a red brocade and a golden phoenix robe was menacing, and the phoenix hairpin pendant on her forehead swayed strongly, which further reflected the murderous atmosphere on her face.
The eldest princess raised her pretty almond eyes and narrowed slightly, and after the moment of response, she first relaxed her posture, stood up straight, and then gave orders to the group of Lang Zhong behind her.
"Let's all get up, the queen is old, I'm afraid I've forgotten the etiquette in the palace, and I said this 'flat' for her."
The eldest princess said a word, Lang Zhong looked at each other, looking embarrassed, this is not up, not up, it seems that there is a deeper meaning in this and not up...... Take sides.
When you get up, you just listen to the words of the eldest princess, which is equivalent to standing in line with the eldest princess.
If you don't get up, it is equivalent to obeying the queen's orders, just like standing in line with the queen.
But both of them are the Lord they cannot afford to offend!
"Shhh Lian Xiao took a deep breath and pondered: I'd better kneel first, and then observe, even if I really want to stand in line, I can't fight so directly with the other party, isn't that like an egg hitting a stone?
"Bold Hanmei Princess, you are really presumptuous, the emperor favors you, it doesn't mean that you can be lawless in this palace, no matter what, I also respect the queen, your elder, you have not stood up before I declared yourself a big rebellion, you even proclaimed the decree for the palace, it is simply disrespectful."
At this time, Gonggong Zhang lowered his voice and whispered in the ear of the eldest princess, "Be careful, princess, don't fall into the queen's way, it seems that she is here to find fault." ”
Gonggong Zhang gestured to the eldest princess with his eyes, the queen mother came with Wei Shen's uncle, Wei Zhongren, the servant of the ministry, obviously because Wei Shen came, and he obviously came prepared.
The eldest princess understood, and then still said lightly to the queen, "As the daughter of my father, I will naturally abide by the rules set by my father, but my father also told me that for those who deliberately find fault, you can ignore it, and he is the father who is the master for me, no matter who ......."
"You ......"
The queen just wanted to speak out angrily, but was cut off by the eldest princess again.
"The queen mother went to my eldest princess's mansion early in the morning to find fault and disrupt my imperial doctor selection competition, what is her intention?"
The queen looked at the eldest princess with disdain, "Ling Hanmei, you think too highly of yourself, this palace is the lord of the six palaces, I don't know how many major events are waiting for this palace to deal with on weekdays, if it weren't for your arrogant behavior, this palace wouldn't bother to look for you." ”
At this moment, Wei Zhongren, who was beside the queen, cried and knelt down, "Queen Lao must be the master of the old minister, Wei Shen, the nephew of the old minister, has a great future, but because he wants to serve the royal family, he came to participate in the princess's imperial doctor election......
But how do you know that running for a doctor is still in danger, and now that it is in danger, please ask the queen to seek justice for my nephew! Woo......"
Wei Zhongren lay on the ground and cried heartbreakingly.
The queen took advantage of the situation at this moment to go crazy, her eyebrows were raised, her face was condensed, and her eyes were sharp and confronted the eldest princess, as if there was a fatal edge hidden between her teeth.
"Ling Hanmei, how can Wei Shen say that he is also the nephew of Lord Wei, the official of the imperial court, he has an accident in your mansion, you have to give a reasonable explanation, right? Lord Wei has been loyal to the imperial court for decades, and if he hurts his body and mind because of the loss of his beloved nephew, I am afraid it will also be a loss to the imperial court.
At that time, the emperor may not blame you, if the emperor shields the eldest princess, you may have to cause the emperor to bear the infamy of being unkind to his courtiers......"
"Huh!" The eldest princess smiled coldly, "After talking for a long time, don't you just want to tell me that if I don't handle this matter well, Lord Wei is likely to change from a loyal minister to a traitor?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the queen's face changed, and Wei Zhongren was so frightened that his limbs trembled, and he immediately shouted.
"Wronged, eldest princess, eldest princess is serious, the old minister is born as a person of the court, and death is a ghost of the court, no matter how unfair the old minister's family suffers, the old minister will always have an unswerving heart to the court and the emperor!
As the saying goes, the king let the minister die and the minister has to die, no matter whether my hard-working nephew is dead or alive today, the minister will never have any complaints, please princess must believe in the minister......"
"Okay, okay, it's verbose," Princess Celestia fanned her eyes impatiently with her slender palm, and then spoke indifferently.
"After Wei Shen was injured, didn't he send him to the Tai Hospital according to his own request? How else do you want me to explain? Could it be that if Wei Shen dies, he still wants me, the eldest princess, to pay for his life? ”
Gonggong Zhang immediately answered and said, "The eldest princess's words are really serious, don't say that Wei Shen was not injured by the eldest princess, if Wei Shen offended the princess, the princess would be angry and directly cut Wei Shen has this right." ”
"Oh? Is that so? The eldest princess put her hands on her chest, condescending, and looked at Gonggong Zhang with extraordinary momentum and asked knowingly.
Father-in-law Zhang immediately bowed his head and replied, "That's natural, the eldest princess has a noble status, and not everyone can be offended." ”
Lian Xiao looked at this master and servant singing and harmonizing, and felt very funny, but when he saw the gloomy face of the queen mother, he couldn't laugh anymore, he thought: The queen mother should not be so easy to deal with.
"Oh, eldest princess, Grandpa Zhang, you misunderstood what the old minister meant, even if the old minister ate the ambition leopard guts, then he didn't dare to let the eldest princess pay for my nephew's life, it's just ...... It's just my nephew Wei Shen, who grew up next to me when he was a child, and I have always regarded him as my own.
If he dies, the old minister is sad on the one hand, on the other hand, I don't know how to explain to his father, today the old minister invited the queen to accompany me to find the eldest princess, and only discussed with the eldest princess how to save my nephew's life at this last opportunity, the old minister really has nothing else to ask for...... Woo......"
