In the Qianqing Palace, one by one, the sons of nobles and eunuchs were summoned one after another, either for a while, or for a long time. And Qingning Palace is much quieter. It's just that it's not like usual here, most of the time there is only the queen mother alone, and few concubines come to accompany her, at most, Zhu Ying enters the palace and chats with a smile, but there are two more princesses and two county lords.

It's just that at this moment, even Zhu Ying sat with her head bowed sullenly, and the others either didn't like to talk much, or were not in the mood to speak, or didn't dare to speak, so the atmosphere naturally seemed stiff and stagnant. The Queen Mother has been in the palace for so many years, but she is the most sitting, and she doesn't care about this kind of quietness, so several palace people have to be more cautious and light-footed.

"Queen Mother, at this time, Zhang Chen, the eldest son of the Duke of Qin, and Zhu Tingjie, the second son of the Duke of Zhao, have entered together, and they are the last two."

When the soft report of the female official Yuquan came from outside, Zhu Ying, who was sitting like a sculpture, suddenly came to life. She sat up straight all of a sudden, and asked impatiently, "Aunt Yuquan, shouldn't they all be seen one by one?" Why did this rule change when it was my second brother's turn and Zhang Chen's turn? Do you know what the emperor and Ah Shou said? ”

Zhu Ying said as she stood up, but when the whole person moved like this, a book beside her fell to the ground with a snap. Seeing Princess Yongping looking at her strangely, Princess Deyang had an expression that couldn't bear to look at her, and the two county lords were dumbfounded, but she picked up the book casually, and then directly put it into her sleeve.

It turned out that she was in a daze just now, but she was secretly looking at a book that she didn't know where she had brought into Qingning Palace!

Even the Queen Mother was amused by Zhu Ying's bold and reckless move, and immediately laughed and scolded: "What an old girl, you still look like a child, I want the teachers in front of Master Ge to give you a lesson, you little girl dare to read the villain book below, you are still playing this trick in front of me!" ”

I didn't talk about you when I saw it just now, but you actually showed such a flaw in public, isn't this a scolding?

Zhu Ying laughed a little embarrassedly, and then whispered: "I entered the palace today, originally I wanted to go to the Qianqing Palace to see the excitement, but my grandmother said, the Queen Mother, you will definitely not let me go, so I am afraid of being bored, so I gathered a book and brought it to see." In fact, I have already finished reading it, it has been more than two hours, and I have watched it three times upside down! ”

"You still complain that I don't let you go to the Qianqing Palace to watch the excitement?" The Queen Mother was simply angry with Zhu Ying's audacity, and as for Mrs. Zhao Guotai, she knew that she would not let people go to the Qianqing Palace, she was not surprised. At that moment, she didn't care about asking about the movement in Yuquan Qianqing Palace, so she just shouted with a straight face, "What kind of messy books are you reading?" Show me! ”

"That's not going to work!" Zhu Ying hid her right hand behind her without saying a word, and said as if she was cheating, "You must know that you must scold me!" Besides, it's just an outline, and the story hasn't even taken shape! "If you let the Queen Mother know that she sent someone to cheat from Tingyu Xiaozhu Twelve Rain, they each wrote a draft of the peach blossom fan, telling the story of the head of the Qinglou, and they must not be scolded to death?

Seeing Zhu Ying so blatantly rejecting the Queen Mother's request, although the county lord of Xinyang and the county lord of Ninghe often entered the palace and knew that Zhu Ying was very favored, they still couldn't help but smack their tongues secretly. Princess Deyang saw that the Queen Mother frowned, and seemed to be about to slap the armrest to lose her temper, so she quickly stood up and persuaded: "Queen Mother, you don't know Yingying's temper yet, don't be angry with her!" ”

Princess Yongping watched coldly, and saw that the two county lords also hurriedly joined the ranks of persuasion and pleading, and the queen mother gradually put away her anger half-truthfully, and just glared at Zhu Ying angrily.

However, she also knew that the Queen Mother kept a few of them in Qingning Palace, just to prevent her father from letting them see those candidates in person at a moment's notice, and it was not good to spread the word, so no matter what excuse she found, it was impossible for her to leave, so she got up quietly and said to a palace that she was going to clean the room.

However, when she left the front hall, which had become noisy at this time, and came to the clean room at the back, she had just used this as an excuse to collide with another palace person. She was not a caring person, but when she thought that she couldn't avoid getting married, she would have to spend an ordinary life with her husband and children in the future, and she had already held back a fire in her belly, and she staggered back two steps at this time, and she couldn't help but scold.

"How do you walk?"

The palace man hurriedly knelt on the ground with a thud, and then kneeled forward and apologized: "Princess, it's all slaves and maids who didn't pay attention for a while, slaves and maids should die!" Seeing that there were only two maids of Princess Yongping around, she suddenly threw a paper ball at Princess Yongping's feet with a very fast movement. Immediately after, she got up with great agility, and ran away with a smoke.

Feeling that something was thrown at her feet, coupled with the fact that the person suddenly ran away, Princess Yongping suddenly became furious. The two palace people who followed closely beside her did not hesitate to chase after her. She herself was about to raise her voice, but she didn't know where the urge came from, she took a step back, bent down to pick up the paper ball on the ground, and then unfolded it with a little hesitation.

When she swept through the contents, she was stunned.

"My mother has been in the empty door for so many years, do you want to get married, wouldn't it be good to learn from Princess Taiping and become a monk for a few years?"

Princess Yongping originally made up her mind to hand over this note to the Queen Mother immediately, but when she recognized this familiar handwriting, she was a little hesitant. This is clearly Zhu Ying's handwriting, and she also came up with a quite feasible idea to delay time. What's more, only a person with a character like Zhu Ying would mention the old things of Jiu Niang in Zhaoming Temple so unscrupulously.

Thinking about Zhu Ying on weekdays, although she and herself do not deal with each other, but her words and deeds are-for-tat, but she has never been framed or anything like that, and she went to Zhao Guogong's Mansion before, and expressed her heart to Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang, maybe it was they who told Zhu Ying that she didn't want to marry, she couldn't help pinching the paper ball with complicated feelings, and the whole person was a little trance.

But at this moment, she suddenly heard a voice: "Princess, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

Princess Yongping looked up when she arrived, and saw that the one with a cold expression was Yu Rong, another female official in the Qingning Palace second only to Yuquan, and she chuckled in her heart, and suddenly realized that this was a note that had just moved her, maybe it was an extremely vicious trap! At that moment, she didn't dare to hesitate, and she didn't even want to pick up the note and stuff it into her mouth.

However, even though she made the action under the electric light, the hand had just reached her mouth, but it was suddenly firmly clamped. Realizing that Yurong turned out to be a hidden master, she turned pale, especially when she saw that her fingers were ruthlessly broken one by one, and the tightly held note was taken over, she was even more solemn.

Knowing this, she might as well show the note to Yurong generously!

Sure enough, seeing that Yurong let go of his hand and unfolded the note to read it, his eyes immediately condensed, and Princess Yongping didn't know where to get the courage to fight, and she didn't defend herself, and looked at each other with unruly eyes. However, under her cold and hard gaze, Yurong was not the slightest hesitant or weak-hearted.

"The stakes are very high, and I ask the princess to go with me to see the Queen Mother."

Princess Yongping couldn't help but sneer: "What is at stake? Just such a note of unknown origin that was thrown at my feet, even if it was a big deal? Could it be that you think that this note was passed on to me by Zhu Ying? ”

"It's because I don't believe that Miss Zhu will do such a brainless thing, so I want to ask the princess to see the Queen Mother as soon as possible. After all, I don't know if there will be any accident for the little girl who was chased by the two palace people who were chasing the princess before. ”

As soon as these words came out, Princess Yongping was furious. Zhu Ying would not do such a stupid thing...... Could it be that you want to say that I framed Zhu Ying in such a clumsy way? The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her head was confused because of the approaching uncontrolled marriage, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her heart was on fire, but she just sneered, and then strode forward.

However, before she reached the front hall, she saw a palace maid suddenly hurrying out from a side door at the courtyard wall next to her, past Yu Rong, who was running straight to the back, and bent her knees and said: "Aunt Rong, the palace person who was chased before saw that there was no way to escape, but he actually hit the wall, and the person fainted at this time, and he had already urgently gone to the Imperial Pharmacy and the Imperial Doctor Department to call someone." ”

It's really a ring......

Since Yurong suddenly broke through, Princess Yongping had a premonition that today's things would never be good, but when she heard the news, she was neither happy nor angry, and walked towards the front hall of Qingning Palace with her head held high as usual. When she noticed that Yu Rong and the palace people who came only whispered a few words, and immediately followed her, she didn't look back at all.

Until she reappeared in front of the Queen Mother and Zhu Ying and others, seeing that Yurong stepped forward and whispered a few words to the Queen Mother, she stood there quietly but looked straight at Zhu Ying. She saw the sworn enemy she couldn't get used to seeing since she was a child, looked at the Queen Mother in surprise, and then looked at her, with an expression full of incomprehension of what was happening. At that moment, she knew that she had really been wrong.

If Zhu Ying really wanted to give her such an idea, then even in Qingning Palace, she would not shy away from pulling her aside and saying it directly, without passing on such a note that could easily cause trouble. However, she did do something that was not smart enough, but the moment the paper ball was thrown in front of her, it was already doomed that the result would never be good!

The queen listened to Yurong lightly after what happened, even if she mentioned that there was a little palace person who had passed out and was still not sure whether she could be saved, she was not much moved. And when Yurong handed over the note, she didn't look at it, and looked directly at Zhu Ying.

"Yingying, come and see, what is written on this note?"

Zhu Ying was originally curious about what happened to Princess Yongping's extremely gloomy face after she came back from a trip to the clean room. Hearing the Queen Mother's call at this moment, she immediately stepped forward without hesitation. But after taking the crumpled note and looking at it for the first time, she was stunned. Immediately after, she didn't get angry, but giggled.

"Yo, I learned to write this word? It's quite similar, I don't know how much work it took! ”

She paused, and then sneered: "Even this wording is quite similar to my tone." ”

"Of course I know, it can't be that you wrote it." The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth curled slightly, and when she saw that Princess Deyang greeted the county lord of Xinyang and the county lord of Ninghe, she seemed to want to retreat to where to avoid a moment or two, so she laughed, "Don't be busy, it's just a clumsy little trick, I won't be angry." However, Yingying, you are still a little clumsy, this note should be famous. ”

Zhu Ying denied that the note was written by herself, Princess Yongping was still expected, and when she heard that the Queen Mother also thought so, she only felt that it was not a taste in her heart. When the Queen Mother said that this note was still famous, she only felt a loud bang in her brain, and suddenly realized that the Queen Mother was talking about those more despicable methods.

For example, those words that disappear after drying, but can be seen when they are soaked!

"No matter how famous there are, it's also a treacherous path, and you can't get on the big stage!" Zhu Ying sneered, and then said contemptuously and disdainfully, "Moreover, in order to calculate Yongping and me, maybe a human life will be pitted, it is simply vicious and cold-blooded!" What the emperor hates most is such insidious methods, if you really want to investigate thoroughly, will you not be able to find out? ”

"As long as you check, you will naturally find out, but it's not necessary." The Queen Mother took the note from Zhu Ying's hand, and then said to Princess Yongping in a slightly stern voice, "Remember this lesson, what to do and think in the future, don't let people find out your mind so easily!" Yurong, go and fetch the candle and the brass basin, and burn this mess right in front of me! ”

Princess Yongping saw that Yurong, who was still indifferent and ruthless when she had just restrained herself, agreed, and immediately went to fetch the copper basin and fire candle, and then burned the note that was likely to cause many incidents in front of herself.

It didn't take long for the news that Zhang Chen, Zhu Er, and Zhang Shou were sent out of the Qianqing Palace by the emperor's order. Zhu Ying hurriedly got up to say goodbye, but then said with a smile: "Queen Mother, Yongping should also go back to Concubine Yu's mother, let her send me by the way?" ”

Such a simple and direct excuse, but the Queen Mother easily agreed. Seeing this scene, Princess Yongping could only suppress the indescribable grievance and anger in her heart, and then got up and retreated. When she and Zhu Ying went out and went down the steps and walked to the huge open space in front of the hall, she saw Zhu Ying couldn't help but say that she had driven away a few palace maids who had been sent out, and then turned to look at herself.

"The next time something tells me in person, for the sake of us being born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, although we hate each other on weekdays, of course I will help you if I might help you! Also, if you encounter this kind of thing again, don't care about the dignity and shelf of the princess, just grab the girl who framed you and beat her to death! There are times when fighting wits is not fighting power, but there are times when fighting power is not fighting wits! ”

Zhu Ying paused as she spoke, and said with a sneering face: "The queen's revenge is really petty!" ”
