Chu Mei only felt a fishy sweetness straight to her throat, and she was so angry that she waved her hand to signal the guards to take people down quickly.

"It seems that I made the right decision to arrange for you to go to the examination room to be the chief examiner." The emperor glanced at Chu Mei and looked appreciatively at the white-haired examiner standing beside him.

"The old minister doesn't dare, the second is a matter within the old minister's responsibility, the emperor can rest assured." The examiner bowed respectfully and then retired.

Chu Mei pursed her lips, stood aside and didn't dare to speak, and looked at the emperor with spring in her eyes, but was glared back by the emperor's cold eyes.

"Your Majesty...... The concubine did not mean it. ”

"Since it wasn't intentional, don't let me find out a second time, besides, although you keep claiming that you didn't mean it, I always have to give an explanation to the harem."

Chu Mei was very reluctant in her heart, but the emperor had already said this, and it was clear that he was giving her a step, if she didn't know what to do, wouldn't she not give the emperor face?

"Yes, the concubine obeys the holy decree."

"That's fine."

However, in the time of a stick of incense, the entire harem spread the news that Chu Mei was punished for being grounded in the palace for a month, not only Chu Mei, but also the emperor of the previous dynasty also punished the Chu family, not to mention the punishment for a few months, and even demoted the official positions of Chu Mei's two younger brothers by three levels.

Chu Mei stayed alone in the palace, angrily smashed all the vases in the palace, angrily scolded the palace maids and eunuchs, and did not give a good face for a moment, the palace maids and eunuchs were silent one by one, and they didn't dare to move at all, so they could only let Chu Mei be angry.

Jing Yu was still drinking wine and listening to a little song in the flower building, but the palace maid beside Chu Mei suddenly found him out of breath and told Chu Mei and the Chu family all about the punishment.

"What! This is true! Did you hear it with your own ears? ”

"The villain doesn't dare to deceive in any way, now everyone in the palace knows it!"

Jing Yu's face changed suddenly, and as soon as she pushed away the singer beside her, she rushed to the palace.

The broken copper and iron in the palace of the concubine had already been smashed to the ground, Jing Yu anxiously pushed open the palace gate, but saw the mess in this place.

"The Queen Mother! Are you okay! ”

"You still know to come back! How does Hongu teach you on weekdays! You still have the face to come back! ”

Chu Mei scolded Jing Yu like crazy, and the palace people didn't dare to look at it, so they could only stand at the door and guard the door tightly.

There has never been an impermeable wall in this palace, and soon the matter spread to Jingren Palace

Zheng Wanqing listened to the palace maid finish the whole thing in a colorful voice, and almost leaned back with laughter.

"Chu Mei, Chu Mei, you have been calculating for so long, you didn't expect that you would have today, right? It's so comforting. ”

"It's not because the queen mother is smart, the battle between the snipe and the clam is that we will reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Jing Yi smiled and looked at Jing Mufan, who was standing aside without saying a word and with a gloomy face.

"Brother Huang, you can also say a few words, the queen mother has not been so happy for a long time."

"That's probably not a good thing."

Jing Mufan's brows were tightly locked, and he was inevitably a little inexplicably panicked in his heart, and he was very annoyed that so many things had happened to Mu Wenran's family in the capital this time, but he didn't know at all, and if he wanted to face Mu Wenran in a dignified manner in the future, I am afraid it would be even more difficult.

Second, although Zheng Wanqing and Chu Mei are mortal enemies, it is really hard to say whether Chu Mei's fall this time is a good thing or a bad thing, just like Zheng Wanqing's fall before, Chu Mei ended up like today soon after she was ridiculed.

"Okay, Brother Huang, you just tend to think too much, let's celebrate this time."

"Yes, Jing Yi is really sensible, you two brothers will go for me, go to Mu Wenran's Huixiang Pavilion and invite two girls to the palace, and the palace will personally set up a banquet for hospitality."

Jing Mufan immediately waved his hand and refused.

"No, just let Jingyi go to this matter, as the crown prince, if I go to invite her in person, it is inevitable that the emperor will be suspicious."

"Yes, then Jingyi, you can go."

Zheng Wanqing nodded thoughtfully, looking at her two sons with appreciation, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Although he will make mistakes on weekdays, he will never be like Chu Mei's unlucky son, a useless mediocre talent!

Jing Yi happily received Zheng Wanqing's will and went back to the Xiang Pavilion in person.

"This son, who are you looking for?" Gui's mother smiled and stepped forward, but Jingyi ignored it.

"Mu Wenran, Mu Xing'er, these two people are not here." The words were unceremonious, and after saying that, he swaggered towards the store.

Mother Gui hurriedly stopped in front of him and smiled politely.

"Ouch, this son, I'm really embarrassed, the two shopkeepers of our family are not available today, why don't you see you another day?"

"What are you, get out of the way of this king."

Jing Yi was a little faceless, looked at each other angrily, and stretched out his hand to push Gui's mother aside.

At this time, Mu Wenran and Mu Xing'er walked to the door from the store hand in hand.

"Second Highness? How did you get here? Mu Xing'er exclaimed in surprise and took two steps forward.

"This king came to invite you to the palace as a guest, but this old woman stopped me from letting me see you, saying that you have something inconvenient, isn't this coming out?"

Jing Yi glanced at Mother Gui who lowered her head in fear, this old woman must have wanted to get some benefits from him, but unfortunately, she ran into a hard bone today.

"Mother Gui really didn't lie, Xing'er and I are going out for an appointment today, and the invitation of His Royal Highness is really unfortunate." Mu Wenran smiled lightly and looked at Jing Yi, who didn't know what expression was on his face, raised his hand and waved a bright red invitation.

"You have to think about it, is the invitation of the queen mother and Her Royal Highness important, or is the invitation in your hand important!" Jing Yi narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice to warn Mu Wenran, but the other party still smiled lightly and gently unfolded the invitation.

"Naturally, this one is more important, I heard that the concubine Niangniang was punished by the emperor, and begged the emperor to see me to discuss related matters, this post is from the emperor, do you want me to glance at the emperor's face and find the queen's mother? Naturally, I'm willing to get close to the queen, but this is a head-off thing, and the queen should be able to understand it, right? ”

Is it the emperor's invitation? That's hard to say!

Jing Yi's arrogant attitude just now softened instantly, and he could only bypass this topic with a haha.

"Oh, I thought it was your friend in the folk or something, so it seems that this king didn't think it through."

"Second Highness, don't worry, you didn't know at first at this time, so I don't blame you."

Mu Wenran generously reassured him, and then said two kind words, asked Jingyi to go back to appease and appease the queen, and took Mu Xing'er to the carriage sent by the palace to pick up people.
