Chapter 393: Humans or Ghosts
I didn't expect it to be a sweet-mouthed sycophant.
Chu Xingyue snorted, touched their family's snow-white tail, and said in a casual tone, "Father-in-law Qiang, you don't need to play this kind of trick in front of the palace, because the palace knows very well what you and your master are talking about." ”
As she spoke, Chu Xingyue laughed softly, her voice was as crisp as a silver bell, but when she heard it in the ears of her father-in-law, she felt a lot of pressure; I have long heard that this princess is not a character to provoke, even his mother had planted a big heel in the hands of the crown princess at the beginning, but he didn't expect that he would encounter this kind of dilemma today.
Chu Xingyue stroked the white fur, and said in a slow and graceful voice: "She Zhou Yanran is a good bird and a bad bird, I have already fought with her, so I know her very well, at the beginning, she relied on her identity as the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven, but she did not play in front of the palace, why, now that she knows that she will be unlucky in the near future, she asked for the head of the palace bitterly?" No, to be exact, it was asked for the head of the husband of the main palace?! Hahaha! Such a ridiculous idea, how could she, a person who claims to be well versed in the rules of harem survival, come up with it? Or does she really feel that she is boundless in charm, and she can not only bewitch the current son, but even the future son of heaven will be seduced by her skin? ”
Father-in-law Qiang's face immediately turned snow-white, grabbed the ground with his head, and hurriedly defended: "The crown princess, please calm your anger, you can't talk nonsense like this, my mother, she, she ......"
"What's wrong with her? Does she still feel aggrieved? Since she Zhou Yanran did it, would she still be afraid of what others would say? Father-in-law Qiang, you are also a smart person, whether these words of this palace are true or false, others may be frightened when they listen to it, but when you listen to it, you shouldn't feel frightened; Because of this kind of thing, the master you serve has done it more than once. ”
Chu Xingyue stood up with Da Bai in her arms, slowly walked in front of Xiao Qiangzi, looked at the back of his swarthy head, and said, "Now that this palace is here, you should know who is instigating; Go back and tell your master, it's best not to do this kind of embarrassing thing in the future, when people are old, they have to learn their duty, it is their own firm look, it is your duty, not your own, don't think that it is your rule; If the concubine Niangniang lives to her age today, and she doesn't even understand her duties and rules, when the time comes, the palace will teach her in person as the crown princess of the East Palace; It's just that Bengong has never been a person who pities fragrance and jade, and I'm really worried that when the time comes, I will educate the concubine Niangniang, and Niangniang may not be able to afford the means of Bengong. ”
Listening to the crown princess's words to this point, how could Xiao Qiangzi not understand the meaning of these words.
It turned out that the reason why this princess appeared here was to give the prince, but he and Niangniang thought that the prince was too simple, I thought that in the heart of His Royal Highness the Prince, Niangniang's status had been slightly improved, but the reality told them how ridiculous this idea was.
Xiao Qiangzi knelt on the ground for a long time and didn't dare to get up, his whole body had already become cold because of Chu Xingyue's words, although it was warm outside, but he was covered in cold sweat when he knelt on the ground, and the coldness that seeped out of his bone marrow almost made him not even have the courage to gasp.
is really worthy of being the crown princess of the East Palace, just this kind of high-flying popularity can suppress people who can't breathe.
"What the princess said, the minions have already understood, and the minions will tell the concubine all the words you explained, and please let the princess be relieved."
Chu Xingyue took a long breath listening to Xiao Qiangzi's words, and hugged Da Bai and circled around Xiao Qiangzi casually, and her tone sounded a little careless: "This palace heard the prince say that there seems to be an agreement between him and Zhou Guifei. ”
When Xiao Qiangzi heard this, the nerves at the corners of his eyebrows twitched nervously, he didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to even tell the crown princess such a thing, it seems that this time, his mother is really out of play.
Xiao Qiangzi has reached such a point now, so he naturally does not dare to hide it, and said: "The noble concubine Niangniang helped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the beginning, and His Royal Highness promised her that she would fulfill one of her wishes, which can be regarded as repaying the favor owed to her. ”
Listening to Xiao Qiangzi's answer to the point, Chu Xingyue knew that this slave was sensible.
"Bengong is not the kind of unreasonable person, it is very clear that the most difficult thing to repay in this world is the debt of human affection, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and martial, and he will naturally fulfill his promise as soon as Chrysostom opens; So when you go back, although you can tell Zhou Guifei, just tell her that what Zhao Ling promised her will definitely be done, but if she dares to get an inch, be careful of chickens and eggs; You know, this palace is not the kind of woman who is generous-minded, and her eyes can't tolerate sand the most. Besides, the person who owes her a favor is Zhao Ling, not Bengong, so when Bengong sees her, he will not be in the way of any affection and has a lot of burden on her, so tell her not to commit the taboo of Bengong, otherwise Bengong will be ruthless and even afraid of herself. ”
Xiao Qiangzi was frightened by this sentence, and replied that he didn't dare to say more.
Chun Xing, who had been standing on the side watching her young lady beating the palace attendant, saw this scene, and almost jumped out to applaud, but finally remembered the words of the prince who woke her up, so she barely showed a steady side.
But Chun Xing really couldn't bear her proud thoughts, looked at her young lady proudly, gently raised the corner of her eyebrows on one side, learned the appearance of young lady reprimanding people, and said: "Father-in-law, you have to remember what my young lady said, because my young lady is not the kind of person who can't do just talking; Miss said so much today, all for the face of the royal family, after all, the concubine is a shameless person, my young lady can't be the same as her, right? ”
Speaking of this, Chun Xing learned from the serious words of the prince when he reprimanded her, and said: "The master is not sensible, but you have to be clever when you are a slave, you must not watch the master go down a road of no return, right?" Okay, my young lady is also tired, you must be tired after kneeling here for so long, take advantage of the palace to go back quickly, remember, my young lady will explain your affairs, but you have to pass it to the concubine Niangniang without missing a word. ”
Xiao Qiangzi has been here for a long time, and now that he has been reprimanded by the crown princess so harshly, he naturally doesn't dare to stay in King Ling's mansion for a moment.
Now that he heard Chun Xing's words, he suddenly felt pardoned, and he hurriedly bowed to Chu Xingyue and was about to stand up and leave; However, as soon as he stood on his feet, he was stopped by Chu Xingyue again, "Wait, there is still one thing in this palace that I haven't explained to you." ”
After speaking, Chu Xingyue called Chun Xing close to her eyes, lowered her voice and explained two sentences in the little girl's ear, and the little girl immediately understood it and hurried down to do it.
Xiao Qiangzi knelt on the ground again, and cold sweat fell like heavy rain.
At the moment, although the crown princess said that she would no longer lecture, the aftermath of the crown princess just now was too much for him to teach, so at this moment, even if he was asked to kneel on the ground without replying, it made him sweat like a torrential rain, and he was very uneasy.
Fortunately, Chun Xing didn't leave long ago, and soon appeared in the flower hall with a Nanmu box.
Chu Xingyue handed Dabai into Chunxing's arms, took the Nanmu box and handed it to Xiao Qiangzi, and said: "At the beginning, the noble concubine Niangniang threatened to 'like' this palace, so she sent a blood jade bracelet to this palace, although this bracelet is exquisite, but this palace feels very uncomfortable to wear, and I think it's a pity to lose it, and I think it's a pity; ”
Xiao Qiangzi trembled and stretched out his hand to take the Nanmu box, and after answering the sound, he held the box and hunched his body, and ran away from Chu Xingyue's sight as if he was running away.
Seeing Zhou Yanran's people running away, Chun Xing happily walked to Chu Xingyue's side and said happily: "Miss, it's so relieved, why did you think of returning what Zhou Guifei gave you back to her?" If she saw the blood jade bracelet and heard the words that Grandpa Qiang brought back, she might be angry. ”
Chu Xingyue looked at the direction where Xiao Qiangzi disappeared incomprehensibly, and said, "Before, I didn't quite understand why Zhao Ling reacted so much after hearing that I received Zhou Yanran's gift, and he also thought of a way to deceive the blood jade bracelet from me, but now I finally know; He had been guarding against Zhou Yanran for a long time, for fear that I would be tricked by that vicious woman. ”
Chun Xing said with a smile on her face: "Your Royal Highness is so good to Miss, everything is for the sake of Miss, if this Zhou Guifei is a smart person, she should listen to Miss, and don't do anything stupid again, otherwise, the gods won't be able to help her." ”
Chu Xingyue naturally hoped that things would be resolved so simply.
However, in this world, there are many people who are not as simple as they imagined, they are driven by desires, driven by interests, and live more like a ghost than as individuals.
"Chunxing, you should really tell your young lady more about this kind of thing in the future, so that she can know how important she is in His Royal Highness's heart, and let her know how sincere His Highness is in treating her."
Suddenly hearing Zhao Ling's voice, Chu Xingyue and Chun Xing both looked back in surprise, and sure enough, they saw Zhao Ling dressed in a dark purple brocade dress, tall and handsome, walking towards them.
Seeing that his man was so handsome and handsome, Chu Xingyue couldn't help but smile before he could speak.
For a while, the appearance of the ancestor who was full of aura was replaced by her daughter's delicate appearance, only to see her stomp her feet angrily, pouting and shouting at Zhao Ling, "Zhao Ling, you actually dare to eavesdrop on us?" ”
