"You don't have to be complacent, sooner or later, my father will return to my mother's side, my father just sees you as fresh for a while, and sooner or later he will dislike you." The eyes of the seventh prince looked at me with disdain and disgust, "A lowly palace maid, she can't turn into a phoenix when she flies on a branch, but she is a slut." ”

Hearing him insult like this, I didn't say anything, and smiled like an ice flower with spikes, "Being noble doesn't mean you're a noble, and being born is not a slut." Even if it is, it is much better than those sluts who are of noble birth, but who are willing to be cheap and like to do nothing and not speak vulgarly. Seven Princes, don't you say? ”

The Seventh Prince's face turned red all of a sudden, "You, you dare to scold me......"

After that, he raised his small slingshot and was about to hit me angrily, and I scolded the palace people beside him: "What are you doing in a daze, don't stop your master quickly, who of you can afford to have an accident!" ”

A group of palace people were so frightened that they stopped in front of the Seventh Prince, dragging their hands to prevent him from pulling the slingshot, and the chaos became a mess. Naturally, I won't stay long, so I took Lifei's hand and left. Behind me was the shouting and cursing of the Seven Princes, and I should just turn a deaf ear.

Soon, the rude words and deeds of the Seven Princes in Hualin Garden reached Chen Qian, Chen Qian was furious at the moment, and went to the Huilan Hall to scold the Seven Princes with their heads and faces, and his mother Liu Zhaohua was even reprimanded as "having no way to teach her sons, and loving mothers are many defeated children", and was grounded in the Huilan Palace for a month, and ordered to reflect well.

"These seven princes usually rely on His Majesty's favor to see no one in their eyes, wantonly bullying the palace people, and now he can bear it." Yunxi was relieved when he heard the news.

"It's better not to talk about royal affairs." I reminded her, "Do more things and talk less, and be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." ”

Yunxi's smiling face froze for a moment, and she meekly lowered her head, comprehending, "The slave knows." ”

I also admonished, "Go and tell your subordinates to be cautious in your words and deeds, and not to be arrogant and arrogant, so that others will say that I am pampered and arrogant." ”

"No." Yunxi obediently fell asleep this time and quietly retreated.

Right now, a bunch of women are staring at me, and I can't let them get caught in the wrong place.

In the evening, Chen Qian came to Yilan Hall as usual, but he didn't ask me to read to him anymore, probably because he was tired of it and wanted to change new tricks. He fetched a rosewood guqin, and tuned the strings to his own tune, and the tune of the beaded jade plate trickled out from his index finger.

The sound of the piano is tactful and bright, the rhyme is elegant, quiet like a green pine valley, clear as a hibiscus out of the clouds, elegant as the autumn orchid covered with frost and dew, easy as the moon between the clouds, the charm is long, the quality of clarity, the posture of ice and snow, and the ethereal and misty is not like the music of the world.

I didn't expect Chen Qian to be able to play the piano, which is quite good. However, when I looked at his eyes, he was lingering and sad, faintly revealing the meaning of lovesickness, and even the sound of the piano added a bit of affection, and the lovesickness was helpless.

For several nights, Chen Qian was playing this tune in the Yilan Palace, and I couldn't help but ask Li Fei, "What kind of tune is Your Majesty playing?" ”

Li Fei's smile seemed to be reminiscing, "It is one of the songs composed by the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest in the Jin Dynasty, "Changqing". ”

"Changqing." I bit it down gently, "It's pretty good." ”

Yunxi leaned over and spoke with a smile on her face, "Actually, Your Majesty's playing is not the best, Wan Zhaoyi is good at playing the piano, and she loves and is the best at playing "Changqing", and what she plays is a must in the world." ”

Wan Zhaoyi, I pursed my lips slightly, and my eyes deepened.

Chen Qian, Chen Qian, don't let me grab your pigtails.

The Huilan Palace sent someone to spread the word, and the Seven Princes invited me to gather at Fubi Pavilion to apologize for their rude words and deeds to me in Hualin Garden that day. I gladly agreed, and took Yunxi and Li Fei with me, I wanted to see what tricks this little ghost wanted to do.

In the octagonal square pavilion across the pool, the Seven Princes leaned in front of the vermilion lacquer carved railing, and there were several palace people standing around me, and I walked slowly from the side of the bridge calmly.

Seeing me coming, the Seventh Prince walked out of the delicate and beautiful square pavilion and actually smiled softly at me, "Rou Xiuyi is good." ”

This is the arrogant Seven Princes who were full of disgust and disdain for me that day? I smiled back at him, "I wonder why the Seventh Prince came to me?" ”

The Seventh Prince smiled on his face, but his eyes were alienated that he couldn't hide, biting his lip, as if he was unwilling but helpless, and said a little bluntly: "A few days ago, Boxin was reckless, and I hope that Lord Xiuyi will have a lot of them, and forgive Boxin for his rudeness." ”

Just say a few words and want to easily pass the test, and you're done? I looked at him with a faint smile until he was embarrassed.

I ignored him, and the Seventh Prince had no choice but to continue to grit his teeth and reluctantly said, "Father has already scolded Boxin for this matter. Boxin should not be rude in words, reckless in his manners, and disrespectful to the Rou Xiu. Bo Xin really knows that he is wrong, and please forgive me for Rou Xiuyi. ”

Knowing that I was deliberately embarrassed, the Seventh Prince had no choice but to bow his waist and apologize to me seriously, I smiled and reached out to help him up, "Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great." I'm not such a narrow-minded person, and the Seven Princes don't have to. ”

As soon as I stood up straight, the Seventh Prince suddenly grabbed my hand, pulled me violently towards the edge of the bridge, and then reached out and was about to fall into the water. I quickly grabbed him with my right hand and pulled him back painfully, but my body pretended to be a stumbling and "plopped" and sank into the water.

"!" Yunxi and Lifei on the shore exclaimed in unison.

I knew that Chen Boxin's kid weasel didn't have a good heart to greet the chicken, so I guarded him early. He can frame me by pretending that I pushed him into the water, can't I frame him back? If you dare to calculate me, you will have to pay the price.

In the haze, there seemed to be something pulling at the legs, and the knots were tightly wound, and the tighter and tighter they were wrapped, and the legs moved, as if something sharp was piercing into the thighs. A sharp pain, I woke up, I'm afraid this is not as simple as the Seventh Prince calculating me, I'm afraid that he and I have been calculated......

What to do? I covered my mouth with my hands, I didn't want to be choked to death by pouring water into my stomach. In a daze, I heard the sound of someone jumping into the water, as if someone had come to save me, and the knots that were wrapped around my legs like rope nets were gently untied, and the sharp objects that were painfully piercing my thighs were pulled out. I fell into a broad embrace, and the man held me tightly and swam ashore.

When I surfaced, I saw that the person who saved me was Chen Xu, the king of Ancheng. I was already weak and blind, and I couldn't hold it anymore and fainted.

When I woke up, I was already in the dormitory of the Yilan Palace, and there was a large group of people sitting in the hall. Chen Qian sat on the edge of my bed, and the queen, Kong Guifei, Wang Guifei and other concubines came. They were busy interrogating the Seven Princes who were kneeling on the ground, and no one noticed that I was awake.

"Boxin, you are really getting more and more bold, last time you insulted Rou Xiuyi in Hualin Garden, this time you pushed her into the water in Fubi Pavilion, and there is something that can't be done in the future, are you not even paying attention to me!"

Chen Qian shouted angrily, so frightened that the Seventh Prince who was kneeling on the ground trembled, trembling and not daring to speak.

Wang Guifei raised her eyebrows and pouted with a mocking smile, "The Seventh Prince has such a vicious mind at a young age, and I don't know who taught it. ”

These words reminded Chen Qian, and he glared at Liu Zhaohua, who was standing beside the Seventh Prince, with a cold eye, "Liu Zhaohua, the good son you raised!" ”

Liu Zhaohua was glared at coldly, his legs were weak, and he knelt down all of a sudden, "Your Majesty is angry." ”

Seeing that his mother was reprimanded, the body of the seventh prince was always emotional, and he said emotionally: "Father, not a son." Erchen didn't push Rou Xiuyi, she jumped in by herself, she wanted to harm me! ”

As soon as these words came out, Pan Ronghua coldly agreed, "The Seventh Prince is young, at most he is stubborn, how can it harm people's minds?" I think it was Rou Xiuyi who hated the Seven Princes for being rude to her, so she deliberately fell into the water to frame the Seven Princes, which can not only relieve hatred, make Your Majesty disgusted with the Seven Princes from now on, but also make Your Majesty cherish her more, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"As we all know, the Seven Princes' rudeness to Rou Xiuyi in Hualin Garden has been severely taught a lesson by His Majesty." Concubine Kong twisted the string of red coral beads on her left hand, and her eyelids didn't move, "If you push Rou Xiuyi into the water again this time, will Your Majesty still be able to spare him?" Who would do such a stupid thing. ”

Pan Ronghua and Kong Guifei always like to make trouble for me. I wasn't going to pretend to be asleep, so I opened my eyes and wanted to get up, and called out a little weakly and hoarsely, "Your Majesty." ”

When Chen Qian heard this, he immediately turned his head to help me lie down, twisted the quilt for me, and said with concern: "Qing'er, don't move, lie down well." ”

"How is the Seventh Prince?" I coughed lowly, my throat was a little uncomfortable, and I reluctantly said, "The Seventh Prince said that he wanted to apologize to me on the bridge, but as he spoke, he suddenly couldn't think of jumping into the water for some reason, and I was so frightened that I quickly pulled him back, but I fell into the water." Qingqiang is really useless, which makes His Majesty worried. ”

When I say this, he should understand that it was his stupid son who wanted to fall into the water to frame me, but I fell into the water to save his good son, who else dares to doubt me with such an explanation.

The concubines who were slightly skeptical just now were relieved after listening to my explanation, and their eyes at Liu Zhaohua and the Seven Princes all turned into disdain, and they unanimously decided that the Seven Princes designed to fall into the water to frame me, but something went wrong in the middle, and the person who fell into the water became me.

Wang Guifei stared at the Seventh Prince with disgust, "It turned out that the Seventh Prince wanted to dive into the water and frame Rou Xiuyi by himself, but he couldn't design the frame, and Rou Xiuyi was kind enough to save you, but he blamed others for framing you, the Seventh Prince is really reasonable." ”

Wan Zhaoyi, who had been silent, rarely spoke, and said with a light expression: "If there is no instigation from others, how can such a young child have such a scheming?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Chen Qian's eyes became even colder when he looked at Liu Zhaohua, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, such a young child, if no one instigates him, how could he do such a vicious thing?" ”

Liu Zhaohua saw Chen Qian looking at her coldly with suspicious eyes, and suddenly his face was depressed, and he trembled: "Your Majesty, do you suspect the concubine?" ”

Chen Qian glared at her almost firmly, "Bo Xin is young and stubborn, and he has always only listened to you alone, if you didn't ask him to do this, who else!" ”

"No, the concubine doesn't, the concubine doesn't know, the concubine really doesn't know." Liu Zhaohua shook his head again and again, tears falling suddenly.

Seeing his father glaring at his mother so coldly, the mother concubine had tears rippling again, and the seventh prince was so childlike that he was so frightened that he told the truth, "It's Ronghua Niangniang, it's Ronghua Niangniang who asked me to do this, it's not about the mother's business, don't blame the mother!" ”
