The eyes of everyone present fell on them, and their expressions were different.

Emperor Jiafeng looked at the two of them with a dangerous gaze, and the imperial aura caused the atmosphere to drop to freezing point.

The queen standing beside him squinted her eyes and said majestically: "Today is the most important festival of the year, why are you late as a prince?" Do you know what will happen if you disrespect your ancestors? ”

Shen Dai's inspiration was dissatisfied with the other party's words, his head hung lower, and he was about to speak, but Rong Yanqi took the lead.

"Erchen just found out that an assassin had broken in, and he was worried about the safety of His Majesty, the Empress and everyone, so he deliberately patrolled the surroundings and delayed the time to ask His Majesty and the Empress for forgiveness."

"Assassins?" The queen glanced around, "Where is it, why didn't the palace see it?" ”

"Could it be an excuse deliberately made by the Seventh Prince?" One of the concubines glanced at the queen and echoed.

Xue Guifei hurriedly said: "How can it be a trivial matter for an assassin to break into the palace? The Seventh Prince cares about our safety, and we should thank him. ”

"You say there are Assassins, but where are they? Why didn't you hear the Praetorian Guard on guard? It was Zhao Guifei, who was following the queen, who spoke, and asked rhetorically again.

Xue Guifei was slightly stunned and looked at Rong Yanqi in surprise.

Rong Yanqi explained without humility or arrogance: "It was Erchen who was worried that the assassins would disturb you, so he deliberately asked the guards not to publicize it, but he didn't know that the delay was due to Erchen's carelessness. ”

Shen Dailing knelt on the ground, her heart was pounding, her hands were clenched into fists, and she was unprecedentedly nervous and worried.

She sensed that the queen seemed to be deliberately making trouble for them, and her words were not polite at all.

Xue Guifei immediately said: "Zhao Guifei, you can hear, the Seventh Prince is considerate of us, don't frame him." ”

"Enough!" Emperor Jiafeng, who had never spoken, suddenly opened his mouth, and looked at the two of them with a calm gaze, "Forgive me for your first offense, and I will spare you for the time being." But the law of the ancestors should not be taken lightly, and after the sacrifice, you will be punished by going to the Heavenly Realm Temple to reflect for three days as a punishment. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Rong Yanqi stood up.

Shen Dailing also stood up and followed Rong Yanqi to the crowd.

She noticed that many people's eyes fell on her, the most obvious of which was Helenmin.

Helian Min looked at her coldly, with a hint of resentment, just a glance made her feel terrible.

She must have been thinking about what had just happened, and she smiled knowingly.

Retracted his gaze, tonight's sacrifice had begun, and the presiding officer of Qin Tianjian recited the sacrifice in front, standing respectfully in place one by one.

She stood with Rong Yanqi and found that he was tall and upright, with a tense face and eyes staring closely ahead.

Thinking of what had just happened, she was very depressed, and she was very irritable in the face of such a situation at the moment.

As time passed, it took a quarter of an hour to finally finish reciting the memorial text.

Then Emperor Jiafeng stepped forward and said to the heavens: "I ask God to bless me with the wind and rain in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the people are happy, and there are no disasters and no disasters......"

After saying this, he put incense on the altar. Then the queen, the queen mother, the crown prince and several other princes stepped forward one after another.

After a while, the incense burner was filled with incense, and the presiding officer of Qin Tianjian gave another impassioned congratulation, and tonight was considered to be the end of the process.

Emperor Jiafeng glanced at the people present, and his mood was a little soothed, "Tonight is a family banquet, so feel free." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

With these words, the expressions that were still tense before relaxed one after another.

Shen Dailing found that Rong Yanqi had disappeared, and he was really a little unaccustomed to this unfamiliar environment.

"Imperial sister-in-law, imperial sister-in-law." A familiar voice sounded in his lap.

When she looked down, she saw Princess Zhaoyang, and immediately squatted down, "Zhaoyang, are you looking for me?" ”

"Well, the concubine asked me to ask you to go over there with her to eat and have a chat by the way." Princess Zhaoyang nodded.

Shen Dailing pondered for a moment, when the queen and Zhao Guifei found their mistakes just now, it was Xue Guifei who spoke out to help.

"Okay, I'll go with you." She replied with a smile.

Princess Zhaoyang showed a bright smile and took the initiative to take her hand and walk towards Xue Guifei.

At the same time, Helian Min stared closely at her back, his hands constantly pulling the handkerchief and kneading it into different shapes.

It seems that Shen Dailing is the handkerchief in his hand, and he can't wait to knead her round and flatten her, and teach her a hard lesson.

Thinking of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's anger just now, all thanks to her, Helian Min was furious in his heart.

Shen Dailing, you are waiting for me, you are so arrogant and domineering in front of this palace, this palace must let you taste the taste of regret.

Not far from Helenmin, two other princesses also looked at her with contemptuous eyes.

Especially the eldest princess Rong Xiaoyue, thinking that Shen Dailing had just talked about her not being pregnant in front of so many people, her mood became very bad.

At this moment, seeing that she was still casually going to get closer to Xue Guifei, she was even more dissatisfied in her heart.

"Big sister, what are you looking at?" Rong Yuting followed Rong Xiaoyue's line of sight, saw Shen Dailing at a glance, and suddenly realized: "Oh, I was looking at her, what is there to look at her?" Isn't that what it is? ”

Rong Xiaoyue snorted lightly: "She is so carried away now, she thinks that she can show off her martial arts if she knows how to use fur medicine, she is so confident, I really can't swallow this breath." ”

Rong Yuting's eyes lit up, "Eldest sister, aren't she and Seventh Brother going to the Heavenly Realm Temple to reflect for three days?" Why don't we teach her a good lesson then? ”

Rong Xiaozhu heard this, and his eyes lit up, "Your attention is good, the Heavenly Boundary Temple is far away from the Imperial Palace, and it is on the independent Heavenly Boundary Mountain, so ordinary people can't enter it at all." It would be easy for us to go in, and it would be much easier to teach her a lesson than it would be in the palace. ”

"That's right, that's right." Rong Yuting nodded non-stop.

"Okay, that's it." Rong Xiaoyue narrowed her eyes, looking at Shen Dailing's eyes with a meaningful smile.

At this moment, Shen Dailing had already come to Xue Guifei, and said respectfully: "See Xue Guifei." ”

Xue Guifei stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, hurry up, we don't need to be so polite." ”

"Thank you, mother." She got up and was pulled by Xue Guifei to the chair next to her and sat down.

"If it weren't for you, our family Zhaoyang might have fallen ill, thank you a lot for this incident."

What Xue Guifei said was true, she was able to be favored by His Majesty in the palace, and it was also because of Zhaoyang.

If something really happens to Zhaoyang, she will have a great responsibility as a mother, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Shen Dailing shook his head: "Niangniang is serious, I just did what I should do." With the blessing of God and His Majesty, Zhaoyang will be safe and sound. ”
