Chapter 164
Didn't Prince Yan say that Su Nianjin had no reason to do something to Hao'er?
And what about herself? There's always a reason to do it! Even if there is no reason, Concubine Xian can fabricate a reason.
Concubine Xian asked Su Nianjin aggressively, and turned her face to look at the emperor with a face full of grievances, "Your Majesty, where did you say that the concubine made the county lord Su dissatisfied?" Could it be that she doesn't like her concubines to hold this plum banquet? ”
The second princess and Xue Yingrou watched Concubine Xian firing at Su Nianjin, and couldn't help but steal joy in their hearts. They laughed at Su Nianjin who was kneeling on the ground, hum, even if you, a wild girl, have been favored in front of the emperor recently, as long as you are against the virtuous concubine, it will be fine.
Just when Xue Yingrou was triumphant, Xue Yingrou's gaze was opposite to Xue Cheng who was standing quietly on the side, and Prime Minister Xue Cheng's eyes were full of anger when he looked at Xue Yingrou, as if he was going to eat her alive. Startled Xue Yingrou!
Xue Yingrou pouted, and her good mood disappeared in an instant. Obviously, I haven't seen myself for so long, and I don't give a good face when I see myself, doesn't my father want to be himself? Is he still the dad who spoils himself?
Xue Yingrou felt that after she got married, her father's attitude towards herself changed, as if she had changed someone. This made Xue Yingrou very uneasy, but there was no way, even pretending to be pitiful, but he couldn't make his father soft on himself.
The husband has not seen each other for many days, and the mother-in-law is extremely critical of herself, and now even her mother's family is extremely cold to herself, Xue Yingrou can only be secretly angry, and there is no way to deal with it.
However, what made Xue Yingrou even more depressed was that the emperor was unexpectedly favoring Su Nianjin, the wild girl.
"Aifei, you think too much!" The emperor wiped the corner of Concubine Xian's eyes, "Nian Jin's girl is kind-minded, Hao'er's matter, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding." "Prince Yan's words are very reasonable, to put it bluntly, Su Nianjin is just a nominal county lord who has no power and no power, she can only enter and leave the palace by receiving her own imperial favor, she has no reason to attack a favored prince, it should be said that she does not have the courage and ability to attack the seventh prince.
"Your Majesty, do you believe in your concubines?" Concubine Xian lowered her head aggrievedly, "Qing'er has served in front of the concubine for more than ten years, she won't lie to the concubine." ”
At this time, Concubine Xian's anger disappeared a lot, and she gradually calmed down. Thinking about it carefully, Su Nianjin's attack on the Seventh Prince is not quite in line with common sense. And he will compete with Su Nianjin, firstly, the second princess and Xue Yingrou have been saying in their ears that Su Nianjin is not, and secondly, they are based on Qing'er's trust...
Concubine Xian looked at Qing'er who was kneeling beside Su Nianjin with some shock, no... No way?
"Aifei, how could I not believe you." The emperor said softly, "It's just that I don't think Nian Jin girl would do such a thing." Fortunately, Hao'er is safe and sound now, so this matter will be handed over to Deputy Commander Song to find out the matter behind his back! "Things have become like this, and the emperor has also sniffed out the unusualness in it.
No matter who the people behind the scenes are trying to do to Hao'er, the emperor will not easily forgive Hao'er.
The second princess didn't expect such a big thing as the attack on the seventh prince, and the emperor actually suppressed the matter in a few words. Could it be that the testimony of the eunuchs and palace maids in front of Concubine Xian Niangniang is not credible to the emperor?
The second princess didn't want the matter to end like this, she quietly moved Xue Yingrou's sleeve standing beside her, and asked her to think of a way.
Xue Yingrou was still secretly sad because of Prime Minister Xue's angry eyes, but she was reminded by the second princess before she cheered up. One by one, they all treated her coldly, and finally got in touch with the second princess, Xue Yingrou naturally wanted to cater to the second princess.
Xue Yingrou's hand slipped, and the handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground. She squatted down lightly and accused the emperor and the virtuous concubine, "Your Majesty, the virtuous concubine, Yingrou is rude." ”
"Xue Yatou married into the Jian'an Hou Mansion, but I learned this rule better! It's just that I dropped the handkerchief, and I know how to make amends. The emperor glanced at Prime Minister Xue Cheng, "Prime Minister Xue, your baby daughter is learning the rules, isn't she distressed?" Do you want me to remind Jian'an Hou that he won't restrain your baby daughter like this? ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen is terrified!" Prime Minister Xue Cheng was very respectful, "Yingrou married into the Jian'an Hou Mansion, so she has to abide by the rules of the Jian'an Hou Mansion." Weichen only has a girl like her, she was doted on before, and she has developed such a lawless temperament, so that the Jian'an Hou Mansion is in charge, Weichen thinks it is excellent. ”
"Since Prime Minister Xue Cheng has said so, I won't say much." The emperor smiled, "However, in the future, Prime Minister Xue Cheng can't stand it because he feels sorry for Xue Yatou to learn the rules, so he can mention it to me at any time, don't hold back." After all, Prime Minister Xue Cheng is the pillar of my Great Xia Kingdom, and I don't want you to be involved in your heart and affect state affairs because of your beloved daughter. ”
"Wechen, thank you for the emperor's love." Prime Minister Xue lowered his head, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't seem to take the emperor's preference to heart.
Su Nianjin knelt on the ground, this was the first time she had seen the relationship between the emperor and Prime Minister Xue Cheng. It seems that the rumors are true, and Prime Minister Xue's power has vaguely overshadowed the royal family.
Tsk, the Xue family is really difficult!
Seeing Prime Minister Xue Cheng's calm and calm attitude, the emperor couldn't help but feel irritable, "Okay, today.."
"Your Majesty," Qing'er suddenly spoke, "Regarding the attack on the Seventh Prince, the slave has something to report!" ”
Qing'er's sudden voice made the emperor very displeased, he had just ordered Song Yuheng to investigate this matter, didn't this maid understand? It's just that she made it clear that if she shouldn't come down, it would mean to shield the prisoner, "Say!" ”
"Emperor Qiqi, the handkerchief that the Seventh Prince was holding after the attack, the slave and maid saw it on the way to lead the county lord of Su County to Guanxin Pavilion!" Qing'er spoke clearly, her voice was crisp, and as soon as her words fell, everyone in the room looked at Su Nianjin.
"What this palace maid said is so inexplicable, Nian Jin has no idea what you're talking about." Su Nianjin flatly denied it.
"Then County Lord Su, can you take out your handkerchief for everyone to see?" Qing'er pressed forward step by step.
"Nature." Su Nianjin took out a handkerchief and handed it to the palace people.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the county lord of Su has carefully planned, maybe he has more handkerchiefs," Qing'er tried her best to argue, "But what the slave maid said before is true, and the seven princes are holding that handkerchief in their hands, and it is really the county lord Su." ”
"There is no name on this handkerchief, why do you slander me like this!" Su Nianjin asked rhetorically.
"Niangniang, the embroidery method of the handkerchief of the county lord of Su is not quite the same as the popular embroidery method in the capital," said the old lady standing behind Concubine Xian Niangniang, "but it is exactly the same as the handkerchief embroidery method left by the murderer in the hands of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince." ”
