"Slave maid, slave maid is also for the mother! It was the lord of Roujia County who was disrespectful to his mother first! Yingge hurriedly explained.

"Impossible."

Rong Chen said in a firm tone: "Nian Zhen is not that kind of person, she will not be disrespectful to her mother, it must be you, a slave, who lies!" Say! Why do you want to pretend to be in the name of your mother, and you are thinking about the real fox and the fake tiger! ”

"Your Highness, it's not like this......" Yingge kept shaking her head when she heard this, and wanted to explain with tears streaming down her face.

However, Rong Chen glanced at her in disgust, turned back to Concubine Qi and asked, "Mother, you don't know all the words and deeds of this girl, right?" I hate that she has even deceived you! ”

In this case, what can Concubine Qi say? I could only nod helplessly, with a smile on my face: "Yes, the mother concubine didn't expect that Yingge, this girl, would actually make her own initiative and hang the county lord of Roujia outside for so long, I was still wondering just now, the county lord of Roujia came to ask for peace, why didn't you come ......"

"Mother, such a scheming girl can't stay by your side!" Rong Chen said with a serious expression: "My son will drive her out of the palace!" ”

As he spoke, he gave the order.

"Wait!" Concubine Qi hurriedly opened her mouth to stop it.

"Mother, this kind of person, you still have to intercede for her?" Rong Chen looked at Concubine Qi with a puzzled face.

"Ahem...... Concubine Qi's face suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment, and she looked to the side and said: "Yingge, this girl is not guilty to death, she has been with the palace for ten years, and the mother concubine has long been accustomed to her company, this time out, the mother concubine is really ......"

As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, looking sad.

"Mother! It is precisely because Yingge has always been with you, but the dog is powerful, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and you are still ruining your reputation outside, let alone staying! Rong Chen bitterly comforted: "Mother, my son understands what you mean!" Do you think that just kicking Yingge out is really too light a punishment, right? Dare to insult the future princess of Erchen, the county lord of Roujia who was canonized by the emperor himself, such a palace maid should have been killed with a rod a long time ago! ”

After speaking, he shouted to the outside world: "Someone! Pull the song down! Cane Kill! ”

"Chen'er!"

Concubine Qi was anxious, her eyes were red, and she glared at Rong Chen.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Do you think the punishment is still too light? Rong Chen said with concern: "Don't worry, Erchen will definitely do what you want......"

Concubine Qi vomited to death in her heart, but she looked at her son's concerned face, and she couldn't say a word of explanation.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the sourness rolling in her heart, and slowly spoke: "It's good to drive Yingge out of the palace, there's no need to kill." ”

Rong Chen was about to answer when he heard this, but at this moment, a palace man came over and said, "Niangniang, Your Highness, the county lord of Roujia has woken up." ”

Shen Nian is really awake? That's great!

When Rong Chen heard this, he immediately got up and walked to the side hall to see Shen Nianzhen.

Shen Nianzhen was already awake, but the whole person was still very weak, Rong Chen helped her sit up from the couch, and asked with concern, "How do you feel?" Is there anything you'd like to eat? Hongu will let people do it. ”

“…… Yes, I, I want to eat osmanthus glutinous rice balls......" Shen Nianzhen licked the corners of his mouth that were a little dry and said.

"Good! This palace will let people do it! Rong Chen nodded, called a palace person, and asked her to hurry up to the imperial dining room to bring a bowl of osmanthus rice balls.

The palace maid glanced at Concubine Qi and saw that she had no objection, so she nodded and retreated.

"Come, take a sip of water first." Rong Chen brought a cup of warm tea and handed it to Shen Nianzhen's mouth.

Shen Nianzhen took his hand and drank it in one go.

"Or?" Rong Chen asked.

"I don't drink anymore." Shen Nianzhen shook his head.

After drinking a bowl of tea, her whole mental state was much better, and she was even able to stand up with Rong Chen's arm, Rong Chen was very happy, and slowly led her to the main hall outside.

Yingge had been kneeling on the cold ground for a long time, and when she raised her head when she heard the footsteps, she saw Shen Nianzhen leaning on Rong Chen's arms like a begonia spring sleep, her face was white and sickly, and her appearance was extremely charming.

Kitsune! She cursed fiercely in her heart.

Concubine Qi looked at this scene with complicated eyes, her heart was unspeakably uncomfortable, and a smile barely appeared on her face: "The county lord of Roujia woke up?" That's great, Chen'er, since she's okay, you can spare Yingge this time! Presumably she will never dare again. ”

"Yes! Your Highness! The slave doesn't dare anymore! Yingge also hurriedly reassured, looking at Rong Chen with a pair of eyes full of pleading.

Rong Chen looked at Shen Nianzhen and asked in a low voice, "What do you say?" ”

"Me? Of course, I listened to my mother's arrangement. Shen Nianzhen had just woken up and didn't know what was going on, but that didn't prevent her from making the right judgment and choosing the most favorable answer.

"Nianzhen, you are really a good boy......" Concubine Qi heard this, and a smile immediately appeared on her sad face.

This is the first time Shen Nianzhen has seen her smile since she entered the hall.

"No way!" Rong Chen said with a straight face: "Mother, the more you don't care about Nianzhen, the more your sons want to seek justice for her!" She was the county lord of Roujia who was canonized by her father and the emperor himself, and she entered the palace to thank her, but she was humiliated by Yingge, a bold palace maid! And made her unconscious! If this matter is spread, no one else can laugh at my father? Joke on you, concubine? Yingge must be punished, and it is a severe punishment! ”

As he spoke, he commanded to the outside world: "Come on, take Yingge down, and kill it with a cane!" ”

"Wait!"

Concubine Qi hurriedly opened her mouth to stop it.

"Mother, this palace maid has done so many wrong things, not punishing her is not enough to block the mouth of the world! Do you want the world to talk about you and your father? Rong Chen said with a serious expression.

"This matter can't be related to the people of the world, right? How can it be that serious. Concubine Qi said weakly: "Otherwise, let's drive Yingge out of the palace!" ”

She took a step back, her heart bleeding as she said this.

Yingge is the person who has accompanied her for ten years! has long been treated by her as her own daughter. Now, they are going to be driven away.

Li Jingting was indifferent when he heard this.

"Lord Roujia, what do you think? Are you satisfied with such a punishment? Concubine Qi suddenly turned her head and looked at Shen Nianzhen expectantly.

Shen Nian really has nothing to do with himself, he stood aside and wandered out of the world, and suddenly heard the question, he was stunned at first, and then said, "Niangniang, you ask me?" If it were me, of course I would like to punish Yingge harshly to set the record straight, but as your future daughter-in-law, I don't want Yingge to have an accident, after all, she has been serving you, and she is closer than me, the future daughter-in-law, I am in a dilemma, and everything is still decided by His Royal Highness! I listen to Your Highness. “

In a word, it is clean.

And to retreat as advance, reminding Concubine Qi that a palace maid is more important than her future daughter-in-law, what is the reason?

Concubine Qi hadn't noticed it yet, but the expression on Rong Chen's face had become a little colder, and she was even more determined to punish Yingge.

At that moment, he ordered again to kill the warbler's singing stick.

Concubine Qi had no choice but to pray for her son again, and she was very aggrieved in her heart: "Chen'er, for the sake of Yingge who has accompanied me for ten years, don't hurt her life, just drive her out of the palace, okay?" Mother begs you. ”

"Mother, don't do this." Rong Chen looked at her mother's pleading look, and was also very sad in her heart, sighed deeply at the moment, and nodded: "Since this is the case, then drive her out of the palace!" You will not be allowed to enter the palace again! ”

"Good! Good! Concubine Qi was overjoyed when she heard this, and nodded again and again, but she glanced at Shen Nianzhen cautiously and asked, "Lord Roujia, will you be angry?" ”

Shen Nianzhen was about to laugh angrily.

This Concubine Qi really likes to portray herself as a weak and deceitful image!

But the question is, does everyone have to act with you?

"Niangniang said that it was too late for me to be grateful, so how could I be angry?" Shen Nianzhen leaned weakly into Rong Chen's arms and replied gratefully.

When it comes to acting, who wouldn't? Who is not like a pure white lotus!

Concubine Qi listened to this tone, which was obviously in line with what she was learning, and her nose was almost crooked.

She didn't dare to say anything for Yingge to beg for mercy, for fear that if she said one more word, Rong Chen immediately asked Yingge to be pulled down and killed.

"Mother's ......"

Yingge never thought that in just a few words, she would end up with such an ending, which was too different from what Concubine Qi had promised her before, that she would be promised to Rong Chen as a side concubine! I can't help but be discouraged.

Concubine Qi didn't look at her eyes, turned her head to look aside, and hardened her heart: "Come on, take Miss Yingge down and send her out of the palace immediately, from now on, she will be a concubine." ”

"!" When Yingge heard this, she immediately despaired.

At the same time, there was a strong unwillingness in her heart, and she wanted to tell the truth of the matter on the spot, all of which Concubine Qi instructed her to do!

However, she didn't have a chance to speak at all, and as soon as Concubine Qi's words fell, two grandmothers ran over, one reached out to block her mouth, and the other pulled her arm and forcibly pulled her out of the hall.

"Woo woo......" Yingge turned back in despair and glanced at Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi was also sad in her heart, and she didn't have the heart to deal with Shen Nianzhen and Rong Chen at the moment, she coughed lowly, stretched out her hand to cover her chest and said tiredly: "Chen'er, you send the county lord of Roujia back!" The concubine is not feeling well, so I will not leave you here for lunch. ”

"Mother, are you alright?" Rong Chen said worriedly: "Or, Erchen will invite a doctor to take a look at you?" ”

"I'll invite the Imperial Doctor, you can send Miss Shen back quickly." Concubine Qi said softly and weakly: "She hasn't eaten yet, I'm just afraid that she will be hungry." ”

"I'm fine." Shen Nianzhen said: "It's still Niangniang's condition that matters. ”

"Enough!"

Concubine Qi suddenly changed her face slightly, covered her chest tightly with one hand, and said with a cold face: "You two retreat." ”

"Yes, Princess."

As soon as Concubine Qi became angry, Rong Chen immediately became much more submissive, and immediately responded respectfully, saluted, and pulled Shen Nianzhen to retreat.

Until he left Langhuan Palace for a long time, Shen Nianzhen couldn't react.

Just gone?

What about her osmanthus rice balls? I haven't eaten a bite!

"Nian Zhen." Rong Chen turned his head, looked at her and said seriously: "I'm sorry, I made you feel wronged today." ”

Shen Nianzhen thought of everything she had encountered in Langhuan Palace today, although she was embarrassed by Concubine Qi and deliberately hung for more than an hour, but all the grievances were solved by Rong Chen, and Yingge was punished for being angry for her, she didn't feel so uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, with you protecting me like this, I don't feel wronged." Shen Nianzhen looked at him and smiled slightly.

Rong Chen reached out and touched her sideburns, and said softly: "Let's go out of the palace, I'll take you to Wangjiang Tower for a big dinner." ”

"Good!" As soon as he heard what he was eating, Shen Nianzhen was obviously excited.

However, the next moment, she thought of Nanfeng, and immediately shook her head and said, "Your Highness, let's go and see Nanfeng first, I don't know how his injuries were." ”

"Nanfeng has taken back to the Second Prince's Mansion." Rong Chen leaned back against the wall of the carriage and said in a cold tone: "You, don't worry about other men, it's better to go eat delicious food with me, that's serious." ”

As he spoke, he instructed the guards who were driving outside to speed up.

Shen Nianzhen looked at him with wide eyes and asked, "Your Highness, you won't even have to eat the vinegar of your own subordinates, right?" ”

"The subordinates are also men." Rong Chen reached out and knocked her on the forehead.

"It hurts!" Shen Nianzhen immediately shouted, reached out to touch the place where he was knocked, and glared at Rong Chen: "Nanfeng was injured to protect me, I just asked, compared to what he did for me, it is really insignificant." ”

"It's his duty to protect you." Rong Chen snorted when he heard this: "Otherwise, what else will this palace send him to follow you for?" It's a good thing you're okay, otherwise this palace would have punished him. ”

"So, you already know that the eldest prince is back." Shen Nianzhen frowned when he heard this: "The assassination outside the city gate today, the mastermind behind the scenes is becoming more and more confusing......

"The left and right are just people sent by the queen, what is there to be confused about." Rong Chen said with a straight face when he heard this: "This time, this palace will not let them go!" I thought I was a vegetarian......"

"However, you won't doubt that this is a good show directed and performed by the eldest prince?" Shen Nianzhen said when he heard this: "It is also possible that he wants to win over you and me, and he deliberately does this to make me grateful to him." ”

Rong Chen didn't expect her to say that.

If this is really a ploy set up by the eldest prince, then he is really busy in vain.

Shen Nianzhen didn't fall for this at all.

"I heard that you stabbed the fish intestines in front of your eldest brother." Rong Chen looked at her with a look of amazement and said, "Shen Nianzhen, Bengong really didn't know that you were so bold......"

"What, you're scared?" Shen Nianzhen squinted at him.

"Joke! When has Hongu ever been scared! Rong Chen replied: "If I were faced with such a situation at that time, I would not hesitate to kill the fish intestines, that person is too bad, there is revenge and not a gentleman, you are too merciful, so you left the fish intestines alive......"

"No, I didn't spare his life because of mercy, but because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to leave by killing him." Shen Nianzhen shook his head: "If I don't have to worry about the consequences if I kill the fish intestines, I will not hesitate." ”

He knew it was so!

Rong Chen smiled when he heard this.

is brave and strategic, and never soft-hearted when it is time to take revenge, such a woman is a woman worthy of him.

"Let's go, let's eat."

"Go eat osmanthus dumplings!" Shen Nianzhen has become an obsession.

Rong Chen smiled when he heard this, and nodded: "Okay!" ”

The carriage immediately turned around and headed in the direction of Wangjiang Tower, and disappeared into the long street after a while.

……

Concubine Qi's matter is over.

But after experiencing this incident, Shen Nianzhen's heart for Concubine Qi faded, although she had also thought about having a good relationship with Concubine Qi because of Rong Chen, but Shen Nianzhen has always been an understanding person, she knows that if a person hates herself, then no matter what she does, it will not change.

In that case, it's better to do nothing.

Later, in order to ease the relationship, Concubine Qi also prepared a lot of delicious food, and specifically begged Rong Chen to bring Shen Nianzhen into the palace, but Rong Chen refused.

He told Concubine Qi: "Mother, Nian is really busy, not only have to learn the rules and etiquette every day, but also busy preparing the wedding dress, I'm afraid that there is not so much time to enter the palace, so don't bother her." ”

"Are you blaming the concubine for letting her stand in front of the palace gate before?" Concubine Qi glanced at her son faintly, her face full of grievances.

"Isn't that Yingge's own assertion?" Rong Chen glanced at her, his expression softened, and he said lightly: "Don't mention this matter in the future, it's over, since the mother concubine likes the company of the third brother and sister, she will invite her more in the future, and the sons will not mind." ”

When Concubine Qi heard this, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, and looked at Rong Chen in disbelief: "Chen'er, you ...... That's Wan'er! ”

"Mother concubine, she is already the third princess." Rong Chen looked at her and frowned slightly, and slowly spoke: "Erchen has woken up from the big dream, but you haven't. ”

Concubine Qi kept shaking her head when she heard this: "Wan'er came over, and she didn't say anything, I just feel sorry for you and her, it used to be so good, childhood sweethearts grew up together, but now it's like a stranger......"

"Mother, isn't this a self-confession?" Rong Chen smiled helplessly at her when he heard this, and said, "Is it worth it for you to humiliate your future daughter-in-law for someone else's daughter-in-law?" ”

When Concubine Qi heard this, she was stunned at first, and when she heard this, she quickly shook her head and said, "I haven't done this!" You have wronged me. ”

"Really? The minister apologized to you, the concubine. ”

Rong Chen looked at her deeply, then knelt down and admitted his mistake.

Concubine Qi looked at him like this, and felt very bored in her heart, so she said stupidly: "Miss Shen has been back from the suburbs of Beijing for more than half a month, first went to Yongchang Bo Mansion, and then went to Cheng'an Bo Mansion, she was so happy that she couldn't miss it, but she didn't come to the palace once to ask me for peace!" In the days when she was not in Beijing, I was always worried about her ......."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of grievance on her face.

"Mother, this matter is indeed negligent."

Rong Chen sighed when he heard this, and said: "Erchen knows that you have good intentions, but you expressed it in the wrong way, and you were provoked, and now Erchen doesn't know how to eliminate the gap between you and Nianzhen, I just hope that time will pass slowly, and she can forget about it." ”
