There's nothing sharp in the raccoon, it's true.

But there is no on the surface, it doesn't mean that no one really hides something in private, and the more inferior people are, the more they like to bully and bully to show their status, which is difficult to say.

But who would dare to do anything to the Queen Mother's things?

Without any instruction, these slaves and maids are at most embarrassed by each other, and when it comes to the affairs of their masters, they have to weigh again and again.

Min Min didn't cry so much at this time, the scratches on his fingers had been eliminated and had begun to coagulate, the child's pain came and went quickly, and after crying, he just dragged his finger to look at his brother worriedly, but Yongyan pouted angrily, pointed to a few slaves and maids and said to Princess Rui: "Mother! You hit them! They'll say it! ”

Princess Rui dragged Yongyan aside, and after being silent for a while, she asked her personal maid to take Yongyan and Min Min to the side, and then raised her eyes and said to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother's embroidery is put out to enjoy with everyone, and it was originally a good intention, although it is just a silver needle, Min Min only pricked his fingers, but whether this needle was put in by someone to disregard the Queen Mother's noble body or an unintentional mistake should be checked clearly, lest this time it is a silver needle, and I don't know what it is next time." ”

After Princess Rui finished speaking, Concubine Hui took over: "What the princess said is reasonable, during the New Year's Festival, the next person sometimes panics and takes the wrong thing to be punished, not to mention the silver needle, you can't use the word careless to shirk, the queen has always been strict in the rules, if something like this happens, it must be difficult for the mother to calm down in her heart, pull these slaves down and torture them, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Prince Rui's mansion, but also to be vigilant, so as not to make such a mistake again." ”

Jingchen glanced at Princess Rui and Concubine Hui, then patted his knees, and said in a deep voice: "Take it down and ask, the banquet will continue, and when there is a result, I will naturally give Prince Rui's Mansion an explanation." ”

Princess Rui heard the meaning of the two differences, her love for her daughter was earnest, and she said quickly: "The concubine heard that this embroidery was repaired by Ke Chang for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother severely punished Ke Chang for Miss Su's affairs earlier, but don't Ke Chang hold a grudge, what is there to be dissatisfied with the Queen Mother?" ”

Jingchen frowned, and when he looked at Princess Rui again, he already had two points of sensitivity: "The princess is worried about her daughter, I can understand it, but if you want to blame others for nonsense, it's not good." ”

Princess Rui breathed a sigh in her heart, looked at the position of Prince Rui, and found that her husband also looked back at herself, and straightened her spine a little and said: "Min Min is the only daughter of the concubine and the prince, this time she was injured, but Min Min suffered for the queen mother, and it was Min Min's blessing, but things can't be revealed as the emperor said. At that time, it will be difficult for the concubine to take such a small wound and then embarrass the emperor and the queen, but Hui Guifei Niangniang is right, in the end, she can't let the person who did this matter get rid of it, save today's luck, and cause tomorrow's catastrophe! The concubine body is also for the sake of the Queen Mother. ”

After speaking, Princess Rui glanced sideways at the concubine banquet, raised her eyebrows slightly and continued: "The concubine knows that the emperor loves Ke Chang, but now none of us have said that Ke Chang is doing it, but it is just that the incident has happened so far, it is all possible, the concubine asks a few questions, why should the emperor be reluctant?" ”

Jingchen's fingertips moved slightly, and he looked at Princess Rui with some irritation.

She is famous for her love for her daughter, and now she hurts her fingers, how can she be willing to give up like this, not to mention. Jingchen's gaze slowly moved to Prince Rui, who was sitting calmly on the side, his two elder brothers had always been dissatisfied with his accession to the throne for a long time, even if it was the matter of the harem, as long as it could annoy him, he would not let go of it at all, which made people extremely angry.

The minister's wife next to her naturally refused to talk about these things easily, and the banquet was quiet for a while, and the few slaves and maids who were prostrate on the ground waiting for the release did not dare to make a sound at all, but dared to tremble on their stomachs, for fear that they would lose their heads if they made a little noise.

The queen had been hugging Yuelang just now and whispered comfort, and she was silent at this time, and after half a ring, she was about to speak, when she heard the queen mother put the Buddhist beads in her hand on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Where is Ke Chang?" ”

Hai Chang pulled Ruyi hard, looking gloating: "Don't go soon!" The Queen Mother summoned you! ”

Xiang Cui grabbed Ruyi's arm, glanced at Hai Chang with indignation, and then reminded Ruyi to stand carefully, and when Ruyi reached the front, Xiang Cui let go of his hand, stepped aside with Mama Zhao, and watched Ruyi salute the people seated in turn.

She didn't break out recklessly this time to say anything, in the current situation, it's not that she can prove her innocence by saying something, she is waiting for the summons of the queen mother or the emperor, and she will stand still in front of her at this time, but she can be regarded as calm.

The Queen Mother glanced at her: "Ke is always here, Princess Rui has doubts about you, there are some questions to ask you, you can answer to her, you can't have half a word, have you written it down?" ”

Ruyi bowed his head and responded: "The concubine has written it down." ”

After speaking, he turned sideways to face Princess Rui, and looked at the past frankly, but his momentum was declining.

Princess Rui glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "The slave and maid kneeling here, can you always recognize it?" ”

Ruyi looked at the few people kneeling beside him, Li Shuanglin stepped forward with the intention of Jingchen, and kicked them one by one, so that they could raise their heads and show Ruyi clearly.

After taking a closer look, Ruyi shook his head: "I don't recognize it." ”

Princess Rui chuckled: "Since I don't recognize it, I don't think there is any grudge in the future, these slaves and maids have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and they can't take their own lives in order to harm you, right?" ”

Ruyi raised her eyes: "Why did Princess Rui see that these people wanted to harm me?" ”

Princess Rui was stunned for a moment, and turned a little sideways to face Ruyi: "Then what do you mean, there are other people who want to harm you?" ”

Ruyi: "This is what Princess Rui said, not me." ”

She can argue, she is a calm character who is not in a hurry, and she is also a character who does not follow others, Princess Rui took a deep breath, knowing that she would go astray if she said this, so she turned her mouth and said: "You must be dissatisfied with the matter of Miss Su Jia's earlier in your heart, right?" The Queen Mother punished you so heavily, didn't you hate the Queen Mother and deliberately leave a needle in the embroidery? ”

Ruyi stood for a while, then turned to the Queen Mother and Jingchen, lifted the hem of her skirt and knelt down.

She kowtowed, and then straightened up again: "The concubine will never complain about the queen mother, and she will never be careless enough to lose the silver needle in the embroidery. And the embroidery is so high and so far away, if it weren't for the princess and the princess to touch it, no one would have known that there would be a silver needle in that position, and no one would have come forward to touch the whole painting, the accusation of this matter is absurd, and the question of Princess Rui is even more absurd. ”

"You!" Princess Rui didn't expect Ruyi to be able to speak in such an orderly manner at this time, where is this what a concubine who was born as a little palace maid should look like, a person like her, shouldn't she have been in a hurry to show her feet when she encountered such a thing? Now it looks like it's really frank and open, but Princess Rui is a little strong, and she insists that someone come out to vent her anger on her daughter.

Jingchen heard Ruyi's words, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and interrupted Princess Rui's words: "Ke Chang is right, she doesn't need to do such a thing, there must be another hidden meaning in this matter, according to me, it is better to have a good New Year first, there is no need to disturb everyone's interest because of such a trivial matter, and sit here together, this matter not only owes Prince Rui's Mansion an explanation, but also owes Ke Chang a statement to the Queen Mother, the interrogation and interrogation are handed over to the people below, and when there are eyebrows, we will not talk about it hastily, What does Princess Rui think? ”

Jingchen gave this promise in front of so many people, which is already a lot of regression, and if Princess Rui continues to entangle, it will be too rude.

She pursed her lips and looked at Prince Rui in the distance, and when she saw Prince Rui bowing slightly, Princess Rui relieved and said: "Since the emperor has said so, the concubine naturally has to obey, but Ke Chang is still suspicious after all, so forget it, I'm afraid." ”

The Queen Mother, who had been listening silently, suddenly spoke: "Ke is always here." ”

Ruyi responded: "The concubine is here." ”

The Queen Mother looked at her, and her tone couldn't hear any waves: "Go back and wait, do you understand the truth of the purifier?" ”

Ruyi said yes, she glanced at Jingchen, and smiled very shallowly: "The concubine believes that the emperor and the queen mother can return justice and innocence to the concubine." ”

Jingchen glanced at the side face of the Queen Mother, and was tightly held by the Queen Mother's outstretched hand, his heart trembled, and the breath he was carrying suddenly smoothed.

Li Shuanglin stared at Jingchen's face, and saw that Jingchen didn't seem to have anything to say, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Ruyi up, and beckoned Xiangcui to come over and take over the people, before shouting his eunuchs to cover the mouths of these palace maids and drag them down, so as not to pollute the ears of the nobles.

Princess Rui stared at Ruyi and walked away, then returned to her seat and sat down, and let Min Min come to her side, which was a lot of heartache.

When passing by Hai Chang's side, Hai Chang turned around and put his hand on the chair, and sighed twice: "This kind of thing happened just after I was promoted to the title, it's really unlucky, but you are a person who climbs up by means, and you have done too many things to do too much, in the end, you will have to show your feet one day, go back and wait, Ke Chang is here." ”

Ruyi looked at her sideways, with the light on her back, the look in her eyes was too cold, and she looked like an unedged knife.

Hai Chang's tone was the same as if she was sure that she would fall out of favor if she waited, and Ruyi saw a flash of resentment, as if she had done something heinous to Hai Changzai.

But in fact, all the original sin is nothing but jealousy and unwillingness.

The banquet did not become silent because of Ruyi's departure, and the Queen Mother did not let people put away the embroidery.

Min Min's fingers didn't bleed anymore, and Yuelang followed closely to check Min Min's wounds, blowing on her and asking her if it didn't hurt anymore.

The singing and dancing slowly ignited the atmosphere of the banquet again, and many ladies also stepped forward to comfort Princess Rui, which made Princess Rui feel a lot better, only Concubine Yi sat silently, and the look on her face was not very easy to provoke.

Concubine Hui drank slowly with her wine glass, her face flushed a little, I don't know if it was because of the heat or the wine to warm her body, she tilted her body towards Concubine Yi, but her eyes fell on the queen above: "Did you hear what Princess Fangcai said?" ”

Concubine Yi ignored Concubine Hui, lowered her head and picked her nails to play.

"In order to make the emperor happy, she was really tense all the time, and even told her daughter the story of the golden dragon, with a humble tone." Concubine Hui said to herself, and suddenly she was in a good mood and laughed, as if she had heard some joke.

Concubine Yi frowned: "Don't be next to me if you're drunk." ”

The smile on Concubine Hui's face slowly retracted, and then she sat up straight, her tone lazy: "What kind of tantrum are you having with me?" That Xiao Chang can't get rid of his own involvement, what are you angry at me? ”

Concubine Yi sneered: "You don't pretend to be innocent with me here, you know in your heart whether it has anything to do with you." ”

Concubine Hui raised her wine glass and moistened her lips: "She is also worthy?" ”

After speaking, he drank it all and put the wine glass on the table.

Concubine Yi's face changed, and finally she seemed to be persuaded by Concubine Hui's words, remembering that the person next to her valued his pride more than his life, and Ruyi was such a small role, but it was indeed not enough for her to use such inferior means to be a scoundrel.

But even so, Concubine Yi still didn't spare people: "Didn't you hear what the Queen Mother said, the Qing is self-purifying, do you really think that the Queen Mother said it to her?" The Queen Mother's teachings must be listened to, remembered, and learned all the time, she has been in this palace all her life, what tricks have she never seen? It's just that sometimes one eye is turned aside. ”

This was a satire on the Su family's earlier incidents, the Queen Mother let Su Jingyi, and then scolded Ruyi, Concubine Hui looked at Concubine Yi with cold eyes, and after half a sound, she sighed in a deep voice: "Can't we talk well?" How long has it been since you've spoken to our good students? Do you have to carry a gun like this? Why bother? ”

Concubine Yi laughed angrily: "Why can't I talk well?" ”

Concubine Hui frowned, and for a moment regretted her emotion and soft-heartedness just now.

When I first met Fang Jiayue, she was still a pure and hearty girl, bright and enthusiastic in the palace, like a little sun.

She's not what she is now.

The queen, Concubine Ming, she and Concubine Yi, it seems that there have been. A very short good time.

But no one can go back to those times.

·

It didn't take long for Desheng to catch up with Ruyi after coming out of the side door.

He held a jade pendant in his hand and solemnly handed it to Ruyi: "Little master, take a step to speak." ”

This jade pendant was taken off by Jingchen from his waist temporarily, he didn't bring anything, and he couldn't catch up with Ruyi when he sent someone to get it again, and when he entered the West Courtyard, he had to be watched and not allowed to go out, because Desheng was a person in front of the emperor, so he could stop Ruyi and say a few words.

Ruyi also has something to say, she can't panic in the palace just now, at this time she dragged Desheng, or nervously said: "Please tell the emperor, that needle is definitely not mine, I have carefully checked it." ”

Desheng knew that she was in a hurry, so he bowed his head again and again, turned around and glanced at the guards who escorted Ruyi back standing far away, so he lowered his voice and whispered: "The emperor asked the slave to tell the little master, please wait for two days with peace of mind, after two days, the little master will definitely be innocent, afraid that the little master is anxious, the slave specially sent the emperor's jade pendant to the little master, the little master is at ease, the emperor believes in the little master." ”

Hearing this, Ruyi tightly grabbed the jade pendant in his hand.

With Jingchen's trust, it is more important than anything else.

Desheng couldn't stay long, and soon Ruyi continued to move forward, and Desheng stood in place for a long time before returning to Jingchen's side to restore his life.

Jingchen was impetuous and absent-minded about the lively drama of this night, but the Queen Mother just reached out and shook it, and Jingchen sat like this, without showing the slightest clue on his face, as if he didn't care much.

With what happened just now, the queen and Princess Rui's thoughts were hung on the children who were playing, but fortunately, there was no further errand, and when the banquet was over, Jingchen held the queen mother and wanted to follow him to Yongshou Palace, who knew that the queen mother pushed Jingchen out with her backhand, and asked him to follow him to the concubine palace to rest, so as not to get drunk again at night.

The ministers and princes laughed when they heard the Queen Mother's words, saying that the Queen Mother was hiding her careful thoughts and wanted to hug her grandson, and the Queen Mother also smiled and did not justify, and patted Jingchen's shoulder.

Jingchen was helpless, and when he didn't know what to say, Yuelang suddenly ran from a distance and hugged Jingchen's leg: "Father, Yuelang learned a new poem yesterday and wanted to recite it to his father, is it okay for my father to accompany Yuelang?" ”

The queen hurriedly pulled Yuelang to her side: "Yuelang is noisy, I'm afraid that the emperor won't rest well, so the emperor should go to the sisters to rest quietly." ”

Yuelang pouted when she heard this, probably not understanding why her mother was looking forward to her father coming every day tomorrow, but she wanted to say such things at this time to let her father out.

But Jingchen really didn't have any thoughts today, he stretched out his hand to the disappointed Yuelang, lifted her up and laughed again before saying: "Yuelang has learned a new poem, I naturally want to listen to it, let's go to the queen." ”

The queen couldn't hide her joy, but she didn't shirk anything, Yuelang cheered, put her arms around Jingchen's neck and began to tell him about the interesting things she had encountered recently.

The emperor and queen left with the queen mother, and the banquet was quiet, and after a moment of silence, there were many sounds of relaxation all around.

It's not too late, and the young ladies are naturally still energetic and refuse to rest.

Concubine Hui stared at the back of the queen walking away, snorted coldly after half a sound, and walked away to the other side by herself.

After the surroundings were completely quiet, Xia Lan said indignantly: "The queen is very good at teaching the princess, she can't do it herself, so she relies on her daughter, and when our four princes grow up, they will definitely be more sensible and excellent, the emperor is concerned about the homework of the four princes, and he will definitely come from time to time, and when the time comes, let's see what else they can do in Fengyang Palace!" ”

Concubine Hui squinted slightly: "They are mother and daughter of the same heart, and they are biological in the end." ”

Xia Lan laughed: "The Wen family is gone, the four princes naturally recognize Niangniang as their biological mother, where is the birth of grace, the four princes will inevitably be filial to Niangniang in the future, and Niangniang is the most important." ”
