"His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, on the first day of the first month of this month, when I got the news and went to deal with the fight between Lou Qian and Zhou Meixing, I saw with my own eyes that this ring was worn on Lou Qian's finger." Du Niangzi couldn't listen to it anymore, looked at Prince Xuan, and said very seriously.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, I can also testify that the ring in your hand was indeed worn on Lou Qian's finger at that time."

"I can also testify that everything started because of Lou Qian, because, in the swordsmanship practice class on the first day of this month, Mr. Liu, who was in class, originally arranged for Zhou Meixing to practice with a classmate named Yan Yun, and for Lou Qian to practice with a classmate named Jia Yun."

Lou Qian suddenly stood up and said that Jia Yun was too tall, and there was a big height gap with her, so it was inconvenient to practice, while Yan Yun was tall and Zhou Meixing was about the same height as her, and the height gap was also large, so it was inconvenient to practice.

"Then, Lou Qian asked to change opponents with Yan Yun."

Yan Yun felt that what she said was reasonable and agreed to her. As a result, after Lou Qian and Zhou Meixing practiced, they didn't know what happened, and after a short while, they fought together. Zheng Qing'e also said immediately, looking a little indignant.

She mainly dreamed that Lou Qian would actually bite her and Qiu Fanghua.

She was born in the Southern Qi Right General's Mansion.

Her father is the right general, named Zheng Qunqiang.

Zheng Qunqiang was born in hardship, and he was originally just a young hunter in a mountain village.

More than forty years ago, Xiyi suddenly invaded Southern Qi, and the Southern Qi Emperor ordered conscription to resist.

Zheng Qunqiang joined the army with his father, and happened to be arranged to enter the pioneer battalion, because of his bravery, he attracted the attention of Zheng Bin, the former general who commanded the pioneer battalion.

Zheng Bin is also from a bitter background, in one case, after Zheng Qing'e's grandfather died in order to protect Zheng Bin, Zheng Bin had the heart to compensate Zheng Qunqiang and have a private chat with Zheng Junqiang, but as a result, it was found that Zheng Qunqiang pushed up seven generations, and actually shared a wife and grandfather with him.

So, Zheng Bin tried his best to promote Zheng Qunqiang, not only creating a lot of opportunities for Zheng Qunqiang to gain military merits, but also teaching Zheng Qunqiang to read and write and read military books in his spare time.

Seven years later, Xiyi was defeated and retreated, sued for peace with Nanqi, there was no war at the border, Zheng Qunqiang relied on the accumulated military exploits, and was named the general from the Sanpin right by the Nanqi Emperor, in charge of the forward battalion guarding the capital.

Since then, Zheng Junqiang has settled in the capital of Southern Qi.

Because he saw too much blood on the battlefield of soldiers, and because he relied on military exploits to get ahead, he decided in his heart that he had to have more sons in order to rely on kung fu to serve the country like him and ensure the glory of the Zheng family for generations, which was very patriarchal.

In order to have more sons, he married two wives, took twenty-three concubines, and gave birth to fifteen sons and seven daughters.

Zheng Qing'e was born to Zheng Qunqiang's seventeenth concubine, ranking nineteenth in the family.

Originally, Zheng Junqiang was just a right general, and he was not very tall, and it was already very difficult for one person to support these two wives, twenty-three concubines, fifteen sons, and seven daughters.

Coupled with Zheng Qunqiang's patriarchal habits, it is impossible for him to give Zheng Qing'e a chance to study, let alone read until Da Xiao comes.

Fortunately, Zheng Qing'e was lucky, and she happened to be born on the same month and day as Prince Nan Qixuan, and became one of the wives of Prince Xuan recognized by the National Teacher of Nanqi at that time.

Zheng Qunqiang had no choice but to make an exception to attach importance to Zheng Qing'e, and promoted Zheng Qing'e's mother, who was born as a concubine, to a noble concubine, leading the whole family to save money and save money to send Zheng Qing'e to study and study abroad.

It's just that the right general from Sanpin, in a place like Beijing, where high-ranking officials and nobles run everywhere, he is really not much of an official.

Zheng Qing'e was born as a girl in the third grade because her father Zheng Junqiang was only a right general from the third grade, and her mother was only born as a girl in the room, so when it was found out that she was born at the same time as Prince Xuan, she was named the prince concubine of the seventh grade.

And Lou Qian is different.

Lou Qian is the second daughter of Lou Kun, the waiter of the Southern Qi State Rite Department, although she was also found to have been born on the same month and day as Prince Xuan, but she was named the prince's side concubine.

In addition, Lou Qian is very arrogant, so Lou Qian has never been unapologetic to Zheng Qing'e in the past, and when she can bully Zheng Qing'e, she is never polite, let alone spared.

For example, this month, Lou Qian was obviously allowed to enter Zhilan Academy to study as an accompaniment to Qin Jiaojiao, the niece of Emperor Nanqi.

But after she came to Zhilan Academy, because when she was taking a swordsmanship class, she discovered the existence of Zheng Qing'e and Qiu Fanghua, the two future princes and concubines, and immediately forcibly treated them as maids and shouted.

Like Lou Qian's calculation of Zhou Meixing's matter this time, Lou Qian's original plan was to arrange Zheng Qing'e and Qiu Fanghua to do it.

But Zheng Qing'e and Qiu Fanghua happened to be at the end of last month, and they also went to Yanyu Pavilion.

They have seen the scene of the conflict between Xiao Qiongzhi and Du Qianqian, seen Zhou Meixing's loyalty to Xiao Qiongzhi, and heard the ins and outs of Zhang Huitong being arranged by Emperor Xiao to be executed at Noon Gate because of his calculation of Xiao Qiongzhi.

Therefore, although they were afraid of Zhou Meixing, they were even more reluctant to provoke Xiao Qiongzhi, and they all insisted on refusing to calculate Zhou Meixing according to Lou Qian's request on the grounds that they had a bad relationship with Zhou Meixing and that Zhou Meixing would not be fooled.

"Well, what you said is exactly the same as the confessions written by some students present at the time that Du Niangzi handed over to me."

"However, your own confession at the time did not mention this, why is that?" Prince Xuan glanced at Zheng Qing'e with a warm gaze and asked gently.

"I don't dare to say it, for fear of being retaliated against by Lou Qian." Zheng Qing'e hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Lou Qian threatened you?" Prince Xuan asked solemnly.

Zheng Qing'e nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, she originally planned to ...... this matter."

Next, Zheng Qing'e told Prince Xuan the truth that Lou Qian had found her and Qiu Fanghua and asked them to calculate Zhou Meixing's affairs.

After listening carefully, Prince Xuan couldn't help but turn pale.

"Bloody mouth, Zheng Qing'e, you are spewing people at all, I have never looked for you and Qiu Fanghua, let you calculate Zhou Meixing, you slandered me like this in front of His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, just to let you take the throne yourself!"

"Yes, it must be like this, you want to confirm my accusation of calculating Zhou Meixing, make His Royal Highness Prince Xuan angry, and shake the place where my crown prince and concubine are, so that you can be promoted and sit in the position of the crown prince's side concubine!" The more Lou Qian spoke, the more angry she became.

She glared at Zheng Qing'e fiercely, pointed at Zheng Qing'e, and said loudly to Prince Xuan: "His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, don't be deceived by Zheng Qing'e!" ”

"She's not a good thing at all, she's just a water-based poplar slut, when I was in Nanqi, I once broke her private meeting with her mother's maiden nephew."

"Look at it, look at it, the jade hairpin on her head with gems was bought for her by her mother's nephew, and it cost five hundred taels of silver!"

After speaking, Lou Qian jumped up and tried to pull the jade hairpin with gems on Zheng Qing'e's head.
