Chapter 429: Hypocrisy
Empress Pei laughed again.
After laughing, Empress Pei said softly: "Jinrong, you and He Qi are fiancΓ©es. He traveled far away from Beijing, and you will inevitably be worried about it in your heart. In front of this palace, you don't need to be forbearing, and you don't have to hide your true feelings. β
After staying in the palace for a long time, everyone wears a mask on their faces. Joy, anger, sorrow and joy are not shown on the face. Cheng Jinrong was already emotionally restrained, and he has become more and more calm and calm for more than a year.
Queen Pei was not only proud, but also distressed.
Cheng Jinrong's heart warmed, and he smiled at Queen Pei: "Niangniang's intentions, Jinrong understands." β
Mother, I know you feel sorry for your daughter.
Empress Pei's heart was also hot, and she held Cheng Jinrong's hand and said, "Jinrong, after the New Year, you will also be seventeen years old." When He Qi comes back from the border pass, the two of you will choose an auspicious day to get married! β
Don't stumble in the palace and live up to the good youth.
Cheng Jinrong didn't expect that Queen Pei would urge her to get married, she was stunned at first, and then smiled and said: "It's not a hurry to get married." He Qi and I have already discussed privately that we will marry when I am eighteen years old. β
The Bohol Hall is not a good place for gossip after all.
Queen Pei didn't say anything more, patted the back of Cheng Jinrong's hand, and walked out.
Cheng Jinrong went out of the Baohe Hall with Empress Pei and went to the Jiaofang Palace.
β¦β¦
Today is the day when the second princess enters the palace to ask for peace.
Cheng Jinrong checked the pulse of the second princess, and carefully asked the second princess about her food, clothing, and daily life.
The second princess has been carefully cultivated during this time, her cheeks are slightly plump, and her complexion is a little better, and she said with a smile: "I follow the instructions of Imperial Doctor Cheng and walk around the garden every day. My appetite is indeed a little better than before, I eat less and eat more often every day, and I finally raise some meat these days. β
Cheng Jinrong smiled: "That's fine." Try not to drink the fetal pill if you can, and if there is anything annoying or unpleasant, leave it behind, don't think too much. β
The second princess replied quite humorously: "Doctor Cheng is reasonable. Raise yourself like a pig. β
All the ladies laughed.
Queen Pei was also amused: "The words are not rough, it is such a reason." There will always be some troubles in a huge prince's mansion. You are bent on recuperating your body, and you don't care about anything else. Giving birth to a child safely is a great achievement. If anyone bullies you, just tell this palace, and this palace will support you. β
In the Second Prince's Mansion, who else can make the Second Princess's concubine angry? There are only two princes.
When Empress Pei said this, she was comforting the heart of the second princess.
When the second princess heard these words, she was very moved, and she smiled and thanked her: "The daughter-in-law thanked her mother first." β
When they were happy, the second princess was really reluctant to say anything that was uninteresting. But what the second prince told her, she couldn't not mention a word.
The second princess hesitated slightly, and finally opened her mouth: "Queen Mother, Princess Shouning already knows about the Tatar prince's departure from Beijing." β
Princess Shouning was placed under house arrest in the princess's mansion and could not leave the mansion for half a step. Yuan Silan's going to the border is already well known. After a few days, it finally reached the ears of Princess Shouning.
Queen Pei smiled and looked faint: "What's the matter, is she making trouble again?" β
The second princess stiffened her head and replied in a low voice, "Yes." Yesterday, His Royal Highness went to the Princess's Mansion, and his face was quite unsightly when he came back. β
β¦β¦
Not only is it not good-looking, the second prince was half angry with Princess Shouning yesterday, and his face was black when he returned home.
The twin brothers and sisters, who were originally close, are now turning against each other. Princess Shouning did not dare to resent Emperor Xuanhe and Empress Pei, and vented all her grievances on the second prince.
Every time the second prince went to see her, he had to quarrel a lot.
Princess Shouning knew that Yuan Silan was going to the border pass, she was both worried and angry, and when she saw the second prince, the first sentence was: "Did you instigate your cousin and let him take the initiative to ask Ying to go to the border pass?" β
Of course, the second prince refused to admit it: "Nonsense! This is Pingxi Hou's recital, my cousin took the initiative to go, what does it have to do with me. β
Princess Shouning sneered: "Phew! Nonsense! The people outside spread it all over. A few days ago, you entered the palace to persuade you, and your cousin took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the border. In order to please your father, you let your cousin go to the border to die, you are really vicious, cold-blooded and ruthless! β
"Yuantai! You're so good! Anyone can die for your own sake. β
"If my cousin had three long and two short, I wouldn't be alive. Don't think about it, I'm a ghost, and I won't let you go. My cousin and I, as well as the child who died in my womb, have all three lives turned into ghosts and come to you! β
As he spoke, he rushed forward and frantically tore at the second prince. The long nails cut two bloody marks on the second prince's handsome face.
The second prince was so angry that he smoked and shook Princess Shouning away.
Princess Shouning fell to the ground, blood came out of her forehead, and regardless of the pain, she got up and pounced again.
With the skills of the second prince, if you really want to do it, the ten princesses of Shouning are not opponents. But no matter how hateful and annoying Princess Shouning is, she is also her own sister.
Moreover, the second prince was still a little guilty in the end, and he could only parry and retreat in the face of Princess Shouning, who was full of hatred and crazy.
In the end, he was embarrassed and fled.
After returning home, the second prince lost his temper, called the second princess again, and ordered with an ugly face: "Tomorrow, you enter the palace to ask the queen mother to say goodbye, and mention this matter to the queen mother." If it goes on like this, Shou Ning is really going crazy. β
"Ask the queen mother to send someone to the princess's mansion to spread a word or reward something to appease Shou Ning."
β¦β¦
The second princess took over the drudgery and sighed secretly in her heart. While peeking at Empress Pei's complexion, he considered his words and euphemistically revealed the meaning of the second prince.
"Your Highness and the princess are twin brothers and sisters, and they care about each other. Now that Princess Shouning is emotionally unstable, Her Royal Highness is very worried and can't persuade her. So I want to ask the queen mother to be appeased a little. Shou Ning refused to listen to His Royal Highness's words, but what the Queen Mother said, he must listen. β
Empress Pei showed a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, and said lightly: "As far as the palace knows, it is indeed the second prince who persuaded the Tatar prince to take the initiative to go down to the border pass. The emperor also commended him for this. β
"Shou Ning resents him, he is not wronged at all!"
Second Princess: "......"
Husband and wife as one.
Queen Pei's words revealed the hypocrisy of the second prince and made the second princess embarrassed.
The second princess endured the embarrassment and got up to plead guilty.
Empress Pei hated the unsympathetic second prince from the bottom of her heart, but she felt some pity and affection for the virtuous and dignified second princess, and said in a soothing voice: "That's it, Shouning is the daughter of this palace, and this palace will not stand idly by." When you go back, tell the second prince. If there is anything in the future, come and tell the palace in person. β
