Chapter 85: Flower Viewing Banquet (5)
"Hugh has to prevaricate."
Song Zhixi moved when he heard this.
"How dare you refute the Queen Mother's decree?" Princess Xining laughed, walked over and stood in front of her, "You, it's really disrespectful. ”
The language that should have been a reprimand was spoken without haste or impatience, but in the eyes of the girls, this was much more terrible than a loud reprimand.
"There is no excuse for the sin you want to add." Song Zhixi stared.
When she came over, it wasn't that she didn't see that there were attendants standing on both sides of the imperial garden outside the Zhu Hall, a small dog lying on the ground motionless, foamy white filth flowing out of its naturally open mouth, and she couldn't hear a dog barking, obviously dead through,
She didn't even have time to hear the wail.
When she looked closer, the shape and color of her fur confirmed a fact that she found unbelievable and unbelievable.
"Who doesn't know that you Song Zhixi is obsessed with that Chow Chow, but I didn't expect that I didn't know how to restrain myself in the palace of the Imperial Palace, and I actually dared to secretly hide the dog to the banquet! Your dog broke in and didn't know what kind of madness he was doing, not only frightened everyone but also almost injured the Queen Mother, but you fled afterwards?! Princess Xining raised her chin higher than the sky, and then raised her hand and pointed at her, turning Song Zhixi into the condensation point of the audience's attention again, "Look at your presumptuous virtue, you obviously don't take the law seriously!" ”
Empress Dowager Zhu didn't say a word, and moved a Buddha bead in her hand.
Hearing this high-sounding rhetoric, Song Zhixi suddenly felt very ridiculous, and finally understood what kind of general picture this so-called plan was.
Stealing a terrier? Running away afterwards? It turns out that all his actions have been 'arranged' by this woman a long time ago.
"Then I would like to ask Your Highness, what is the good reason for you to think that it is me?" Too lazy to call herself a courtier, Song Zhixi walked around her and said, "Besides, the Chow Chow is not a rare breed in Beijing, and this dog may not be the one I lost." ”
"Song Zhixi, it's useless to deny it, the jade plate on its collar is evidence. You have never brought this vicious dog to plague the Quartet in the past, and many people present recognize that the jade plaque on the dog's neck is indeed from your Song Mansion, presumably...... You made it for you, right? The jade plaque has been taken off for your identification, do you still want to deny it?! The woman pressed forward step by step, and the atmosphere between the two became more and more deadlocked.
The jade card is indeed true, and the Chow Chow is the one she lost, and she knows it.
The corner of her eyes swept over the palace ladies behind the princess one by one, and her heart slowly measured, she bit her lower lip and looked embarrassed, looking very scared, "Denial cannot be denied, but this crime cannot be recognized, what if someone gets a fake imitation to frame me, intending to put me to death?" How can this work......"
"Yes, maybe it's true, is it wrong, Miss Song doesn't look like this kind of unruly person......" A woman in the crowd took the lead in speaking.
Hearing someone speak for her, Song Zhixi was very anxious in her heart, the lame title of "Second Ancestor" was slowly forgotten after getting along, and most of the favors and prejudices came imperceptibly, and it was rare that it had only taken so long to have such a big change in her.
"Honeysuckle." Princess Xining felt that she could no longer be disturbed, and suddenly turned her head and called in a deep voice.
Song Zhixi lowered his eyelids slightly, and his two fingers curled into his cuffs.
The palace maid named Honeysuckle walked in front of Song Zhixi, pinched the jade plate where the hanging rope was still there and raised her hand to show it, Song Zhixi squinted his eyes and got closer, and when he was close at hand, he stretched out his hand and rubbed it lightly on the waist of the palace maid through the cover of the shawl.
"What is this?" Song Zhixi suddenly screamed in surprise, and suddenly grabbed the palace maid's wrist and raised it above her head, and the jade plate was also included in her sleeve.
Someone stepped forward curiously, "This is ......"
At this time, a grandmother hurriedly came, bent down close to her head and stretched out her hand, as if she had twisted something on the slender waist of the palace maid, and after taking a closer look, she quickly handed it to the Queen Mother and said, "The Queen Mother, it's dog hair." ”
"How do you have its hair?" Song Zhixi asked with a strange expression.
Honeysuckle was taken aback, and when he realized that something was wrong, he immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the princess's face, and then reacted that he was out of shape, and swore that "yes, it was in the chaos just now......"
The second girl from Prince Rui's Mansion stood up and interrupted, "No, it's all those attendants who are chasing dogs, no matter how chaotic the situation is, everyone can see it." ”
The ladies watched from the sidelines, before and after, and agreed with this sentence the most,
Don't say that this honeysuckle, these palace maids are all the same, either huddle aside or just care about protecting their princesses, don't care about the life or death of outsiders like them, let alone dare to stabilize the situation.
When the two of them confronted each other, Zhang Jiang had already wiped away his tears and tried his best to restrain himself to calm down, and he had already heard everyone's private complaints, and now was the best opportunity.
Although she was afraid of the princess, as the concubine of the Hou Mansion, she could still deal with a mere palace maid, and it was a witness that everyone was present, and the most important thing was that the Queen Mother did not show obvious opinions from beginning to end, so she raised her head and said, "In the chaos? That puppy has a low chassis, how does it rub its fur against your waist? ”
Zhang Jiang raised his voice and said, "If you really made contact with it or dragged it because of the protector, and fell to the ground in the chaos, then it is still possible, but ...... Hehe, you don't have to open your eyes and talk nonsense! ”
Everyone whispered, and the depressed breath in Fang Cai's stomach was aroused again, and they were indeed already dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to say it.
But that doesn't mean they're all blind.
According to the rules, the personal subordinates of the guests are not allowed to be brought into the palace. The dog suddenly went crazy and broke into the Zhu hall and rampage, the queen mother and the princess were protected by layers of palace maids, but they were completely unharmed, but they were scared miserably, and they didn't see these palace maids come to help during the whole process.
But Song Zhixi didn't know what kind of situation it was at that time, and he didn't know how the Chow Chow became ill and how he died.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Honeysuckle immediately knelt down with a "poof" to justify, "No, I said something wrong, yes...... It's her! She must have hid the dog fur on me while I wasn't looking, she did it on purpose! Ask the princess for a good look! The Queen Mother Mingjian! ”
Princess Xining pushed away this eye-catching person, gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand to point at her again and shouted, "Song Zhixi, you have a lot of crooked thoughts!" Don't think that this will clear your name! ”
"I don't." She said.
Everyone looked at Song Zhixi again.
The girl stood alone in the center, obviously alone, but she could smile so brightly.
Since the beginning of this farce, Song Zhixi has noticed that a beam of eyes has fallen on her from time to time, she raised her eyebrows, and finally looked at each other, but crashed into a pair of eyes with complicated emotions.
A mixed emotion.
Slightly stunned for a moment, but only for a moment, she exhaled softly, and although her eyes couldn't help but be stained with a layer of mist, she still smiled stubbornly.
"Liuzhu, what about you?" She looked up and met the man's eyes again.
