Chapter 24: Aftermath

Before everyone in the hall could react, they were shocked by Wei Baofu's neat skills, no one thought that such a delicate and graceful little girl would be so neat.

The emperor looked at Wei Baofu's eyes meaningfully, the queen mother seemed to have experienced a life and death, she first confirmed that Wei Baofu was unscathed, and then said angrily: "Come on, drag this slut out and beat him to death for the mourning family, it's just the opposite." ”

The Queen Mother breathed rapidly, as if she was going to faint due to lack of oxygen in the next second, she was in a state of anger, which everyone could see, Mama Feng helped her to calm her breath while comforting her.

"Grandmother, granddaughter is fine, things always have to be clarified before they can be dealt with, can anyone in this palace casually run out and play assassination? In the future, if there is a kind of example, everyone will be at risk, and ask the imperial uncle to make the decision for his niece. ”

Wei Baofu knew that she couldn't give up on this matter today, if she was weaker, she was afraid that the queen's mother and son would swallow her alive, and sure enough, without waiting for the emperor to speak, the queen took the lead in speaking.

"The lord of Kangping County is serious, before you came, nothing like this has ever happened in the palace, this Tang concubine said, you killed her father, and people are also avenging their father, this personal enmity between you, how can you let the emperor make the decision for you, it's not good to let the emperor suppress people with power, this is spread out, do you want the reputation of our royal family?"

The prince didn't expect Concubine Tang to be so resolute, and he would definitely make a fuss about this matter, so he hurriedly knelt down and said: "What the queen mother said is that Concubine Tang is gentle and petty on weekdays, and she is also very respectful and filial to her father, queen mother, and this matter is definitely a last resort." ”

Wei Baofu gently brushed the wide sleeves of the palace dress, as if to brush away some disgusting dirt, in the face of the mother and son, she did not show any cowardice, and said without changing her face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not wrong to maintain his pillow person, but you are the prince of a country, and the pattern is inevitably smaller." ”

She was not timid, as comfortable as standing in her boudoir, and without waiting for the prince to snatch the white, she continued to speak: "Even if I kill her father, then may I ask everyone here, my dignified lord of the county, is it against the law to kill a slave who sold the whole family to me?" ”

Concubine Shu pinched the handkerchief and smiled at the right time, "It's not, who stipulates that if the slave is killed, the slave's family can also find the master for revenge, if this is the case, then we can't sleep well." ”

Wei Baofu didn't expect Concubine Shu to help her at this moment, she only glanced at it lightly, bowed her head slightly to show her gratitude, and didn't give her too many expressions.

Concubine Tang was suppressed by the Imperial Forest Army in the palace, and she said viciously: "Although my father is your slave, he works hard to take care of the shop for you, and there is no merit and hard work. ”

The emperor didn't say anything to stop it, he wanted to see what else this girl could do, Wei Baofu smiled calmly: "You are wrong, he is not conscientious for me, except for the part of the greedy ink, but all the money earned is filial piety to the prince, yes or no?" ”

The last sentence was directed at the prince, and the prince's face was a little embarrassed, robbing his cousin's money was indeed a bit inauthentic.

The queen's face was also extremely embarrassed, she really didn't know that there was such a thing, she only thought that the prince had taken a fancy to the appearance of Concubine Tang.

Concubine Tang said unwillingly: "What's wrong with honoring the prince, he is the prince of a country, and my father is also loyal to his duties, besides, you and the prince are also cousins and sisters, what is the difference between giving it to you?" ”

Wei Baofu looked at her like a fool, ignored her, and asked the prince with a smile: "Cousin Prince, do you think so too, I thought that only the illiterate ordinary people would rob the property of the brothers in the next room, it turns out that my Dazhao royal family also has such rules, this shop is still my mother's dowry, it is my private property, if I can't keep it, then I really can't live." ”

The irony in these words was extremely heavy, Wei Baozhen looked funny, and couldn't help covering her mouth with a handkerchief, Concubine Yu on the side patted her angrily, asking her to pay attention to her image, where is the prince willing to sit down and rob the reputation of the cousin's property in the next room, it is natural to justify.

"My cousin can't help but speak too harshly, so far, it's all you said, but there is no evidence to prove that I took the money, although Lone is the prince, and he is generous on weekdays, but it's not good to plant everything on Lone."

The queen hurriedly said on the side: "No, our prince is the most benevolent and righteous on weekdays, this palace looks at the lord of Kangping without a father and mother, and thinks about taking more care in the future, who knows, she is so ignorant, it is really sad." ”

The mother and son are not stupid, and Wei Baofu is not panicked, she said expressionlessly: "Who made me an orphan daughter without a father and mother, and only my grandmother is around to take care of me, even if I have an account book in my hand, I am afraid that no one will make decisions with me." ”

The words were choked, but she stubbornly refused to cry, although Concubine Shu knew that she was pretending, she still felt abnormal pain in her heart.

She also said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you don't care about her on weekdays, but now that you are bullied like this, how can you make your concubine an aunt, feel at ease, and how will you face the people underground in the future?" ”

The emperor was stunned, he couldn't see the concubine crying, so he hurriedly said: "Don't cry, I will deal with it, first pull this concubine out to kill with her mouth covered." ”

Concubine Tang looked frightened, she had come with the determination to die, but at this time, she was also panicked, she looked at the prince in despair, hoping that the prince could save her, but the prince lowered his head and avoided her eyes.

Wei Baofu's hand hidden under the sleeve subconsciously clenched into a fist, she was still not used to depriving others of their lives at will.

"Baofu girl, I know that you have been wronged, and the prince is young and unstable, but he is your cousin, we will handle our own family affairs, how you want to punish the prince, I will definitely give you anger."

In the end, the emperor still protects his son, the prince of a country, he also represents the emperor's face, this is treated as a family matter, but he just wants to calm things down, what can Wei Baofu do.

Wei Baofu's tears came as soon as he said it, and it just slid down his face, and the people who saw it were distressed, and the Queen Mother was the first to wail: "Baofu of the mourning family, what kind of sin has been created, and when you come back, you will suffer such a great grievance, how can we live our ancestors and grandchildren." ”

The queen mother cried like this, and the concubines and children in the palace looked at it again, the emperor was slightly embarrassed, and he also knew that what he did was a little straightforward, but he had to bite the bullet and say: "Baofu, you are the most sensible, you should know the difficulties of the imperial uncle." ”

Wei Baofu stubbornly raised her head, tears in her eyes were about to fall, she said with tears: "Baofu can understand the imperial uncle, Baofu doesn't need to punish the prince's cousin for anything, I just hope that I can go back to my county lord's mansion freely in the future, only there, Baofu can feel that Baofu also has parents who love him and are not bullied." ”

Since things have come to such a point, Wei Baofu naturally wants to fight for more freedom for himself, and it is difficult for the emperor to refuse at this time.

He said solemnly: "I can also understand your feelings, I agreed to this matter, I will give you a token in a while, you can come and go freely, but the queen mother can't leave you, you also have to stay with her more." ”

This is for sure, Wei Baofu never thought of living in the county lord's mansion for a long time, and nodded respectfully in agreement.

The emperor continued: "Don't worry, the prince borrowed your money, and I asked him to pay it back twice, and I will also give you a hot spring village, so I should buy you a dowry in advance, but don't be sad, your grandmother should be distressed." ”

What the emperor cares about is his face, whether the prince has the ability to repay the money, that is what the queen is worried about, he doesn't care, the prince's face turned white when he heard this, he wanted to refuse, but the queen cast a stern look, he had to keep his mouth shut.

Wei Baofu is satisfied with this kind of compensation, people can't be too greedy, they still have to accept it when they see it, she wiped away her tears.

said calmly: "Thank you Uncle Huang for making the decision for me, Baofu is grateful, if the prince's cousin has difficulties, you can tell me clearly, I will help if I can, now the shop managed by the Tang shopkeeper has lost most of it, and I ask the prince's cousin to return the money as soon as possible, and I can turn over one or two, after all, these are the things I have to live in." ”

The emperor understood her words and said to the prince: "I give you ten days to prepare, if you haven't paid it off after ten days, I am looking for you to settle accounts, do you understand?" ”

What else can the prince do, he had to bow down and promise, seeing that the matter was almost over, Wei Baozhen walked to Wei Baofu's side with a smile, "Okay, okay, it's good that the matter is over, the hot spring village sent by my father is the one in the southern suburbs?" We're going to be guests together when we have time. ”

The emperor smiled and nodded, "That's the one, can you be a guest, I want to ask your sister Baofu." Wei Baofu also accepted it when he saw it, and he would not keep his face drooping, and replied with a faint smile: "It's definitely no problem to be a guest, and when I settle down, I will definitely invite my brothers and sisters to play." ”

The fourth prince who had been watching from the side for a long time finally waited for the opportunity at this time, and he said with a smile: "That can't be without me, Sister Baofu, I also want to play." ”

Wei Baofu looked at Wei Qi, and always felt that his eyes were very similar to the father who loved to run around with her on his back, and when he saw the fourth prince, he seemed to see him standing in front of him, but in fact, the facial features of the two were not so similar.

She naturally has a good impression of Wei Qi, it is a feeling that she can't explain clearly, and she doesn't think much about it at the moment, considering the feelings of the Queen Mother, she didn't say much, only smiled lightly and nodded in agreement.

Wei Qi couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he was extremely satisfied with this sister, she was not afraid of danger and could adapt to the situation to compete with the prince, he liked such a sister from the bottom of his heart.
