Old Madam Zhen coldly swept the concentric knot in the palace maid's hand, and said in a deep voice: "What is the meaning of Li Zhaoyi sending this thing?" Think my government is so easy to bully? ”

The palace maid bowed her head slightly and said: "Don't dare, Li Zhaoyi and His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness instructed the slave maid to come and make amends, Li Zhaoyi asked the slave maid to pass the word, and the mother will definitely give Miss Chu an explanation." ”

Old Madam Zhen's eyes were slightly calm, and she gave Mrs. Su a look. Slowly raise a glass of tea, not taking care of the palace maids who came.

Mrs. Su stepped forward slowly and said: "My house has always been close to Li Zhaoyi and the Fifth Highness, and I am more interested in marrying Qin and Jin, but if such an incident occurs, it is a pity that my son's good reputation and future have been abandoned, and the Fifth Highness plans to give an explanation to my son." ”

The palace maid frowned slightly, in the end, Chu Mengxi was not necessarily innocent, but Li Zhaoyi told not to offend the Qingguo Mansion at this moment, she was not as good as Aunt Zhiqiao, so she had to endure it at the moment.

"Madam, please calm your anger, Li Zhaoyi and His Royal Highness are thinking of a way, and there will be good news in a few days. Please be at ease with the old lady and the old lady. His Royal Highness the Fifth instructed the slave maid to send two thousand-year-old ginseng and six taels of bird's nest, and hoped that the lady, the old lady, and Miss Chu would forgive me. The palace maid said with a smile, turned to Chu Mengxi and said, "Miss Chu, Your Highness Fifth Highness said that she will not disappoint Miss." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Chu Mengxi's eyes raised slightly, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw that the old lady's face had improved a lot, and the eyes that looked at him gradually returned to their original brightness.

Seeing this, Mrs. Su ordered the maid to help Chu Mengxi up and said, "Since Your Royal Highness Fifth Highness and Li Zhaoyi said so, they will spare you, but if something like this happens, the Guogong Mansion will lose face, and the punishment will definitely be punished." ”

"Yes, mother, Xi'er has such an incident, I don't dare to ask my grandmother and mother for forgiveness, I am willing to go to the ancestral hall to meditate for three days." Chu Mengxi said in a low voice.

Mrs. Su nodded and said, "It's good to know your mistakes, we will wait for the good news of the Fifth Highness." ”

"Thank you, madam, thank you, old lady, the slave and maid will take their leave." The palace maid smiled and glanced at Chu Mengxi, only to see that there was no resentment between the corners of Chu Mengxi's eyebrows, they were all gentle and obedient, and she felt that she was a good master to get along with, so she smiled and got Mrs. Zhen's response, and turned to leave.

Chu Mengxi saw people leaving, knelt in the center of the hall and said: "The granddaughter is ignorant and causes trouble, and she is willing to be punished, and she is willing to go to the ancestral hall for seven days and copy the female ring three times." ”

Old Madam Zhen nodded slightly: "Why isn't it three days?" ”

Chu Mengxi lowered her eyebrows and said: "My granddaughter knows that she has made a serious mistake, but it is inconvenient to take her own light in front of outsiders, and I hope that my grandmother will forgive me." ”

Old Madam Zhen nodded secretly in her heart when she heard this, but she was a person who would handle things. The words that His Royal Highness ordered people to pass just now were undoubtedly telling them not to embarrass Chu Mengxi. So in front of outsiders, Chu Mengxi said for three days, which showed that he had not been harshly criticized. Most of the anger just now is gone.

"Okay, three days will be three days, and in the future, His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness of the province will find the fault of the old body." Old Madam Zhen said in a deep voice.

Chu Mengxi hurriedly said: "After all, the Fifth Highness is an outsider and a junior, how can he find his grandmother's fault." Thunder, rain and dew are all blessings, grandmothers are all for Xi'er, and Xi'er knows it in her heart. ”

These words even spoke to Mrs. Zhen's heart. Chu Mengxi is talented and good-looking, and he also has the means, if His Royal Highness can grant the position of the side concubine, he is not afraid that he will not be able to take the position of the main concubine. And such a woman must be used by the Qingguo Mansion. And Chu Mengxi's statement was in line with the old lady's wishes.

"Alright, let's get up. It's not all your fault this time. Old Madam Zhen looked at Chu Mengyao with dissatisfaction and said, "As sisters, we share honor and disgrace, if the eldest sister makes a mistake, the younger sister can escape?" ”

Chu Mengyao glanced at Old Madam Zhen and said, "It's obviously the eldest sister's fault, how to ......?"

"Fourth sister, it's really my fault, it's affecting you." Chu Mengxi said apologetically.

"Involved?" Chu Mengyao tilted her head slightly.

The corners of Jinxi's mouth lifted, and he said with a little sadness on his face: "Yes, Fourth Miss, the eldest lady has been blaming herself just now, it doesn't matter if her reputation is damaged, but it really shouldn't hurt the reputation of these four young ladies." That's why yesterday the slave and maid risked their lives to stop the fourth lady. ”

Su Ruoxue glanced at Jinxi, her forehead was red and swollen, and she didn't want to lie, and Chu Mengyao, who had never been personally raised, had a hot temper, and often bumped into Chu Mengxi after returning from the family temple.

"That's it, I can't control it, after Xi'er gets married, Yao'er will also get married. Didn't the second son of the Marquis of Ning Guofu ask to marry before? Let him take it. Old Madam Zhen waved her hand impatiently and said, "It's all gone, I'm tired." ”

The crowd did not dare to say anything more and dispersed.

Chu Mengyao was completely blinded by Mrs. Zhen's words. Accepted? Not married? Could it be that the old woman wants to give herself the position of a concubine, why, Chu Mengxi has such a scandalous thing and her reputation has been discredited, but she still wants to fight for her to be a concubine, why, why should she be a concubine, no, no, I will go to find the third sister.

Chu Mengyao got up and rushed out, but was stopped by Su Ruoxue and said, "Fourth Miss needs to be calm, tomorrow I will personally ask a nurturing grandmother to train well, don't lose the face of my government again." After saying that, he threw the handkerchief away.

Leaving Chu Mengyao, who was lost and helpless, was pressed back to the Meditation Garden by her grandmother.

"Why? Why? Just because that's the Fifth Highness? Just because I'm a concubine? Chu Mengyao shouted loudly, fanning Xiangling heavily with her hand.

"Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss," Xiangling said bitterly: "Fourth Miss spare your life, Fourth Miss, the slave maid listened to the people of the Zhenguo Mansion, Princess Yunshang will return to the house tomorrow, slave maid, I will go to Princess Yunshang tomorrow, and the fourth miss will spare the slave maid, Fourth Miss." ”

"What do you say? The third sister will return home tomorrow? Chu Mengyao stopped her hand and asked with a frown.

"Yes, yes, the slave maid listened to the head of the kitchen of the Zhenguo Mansion herself." Xiangling said in a low voice.

Chu Mengyao snorted coldly, one is a princess of Yipin, and the other is a concubine of the Fifth Highness who has not passed through the door, I want to see who the old witch listens to.

-Linhua Palace-

"Do you doubt they'll do anything?" Yun Sheng frowned and asked, if the situation can be reversed at this time, it will not only be a show of goodwill to the Qingguo Mansion, but also a demonstration. In the future, the Qingguo Mansion will inevitably weigh the position of the five emperor brothers and Li Zhaoyi in the emperor's heart when assisting.

However, now that the matter of Chu Mengxi and the Fifth Highness has spread, I'm afraid.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness announced the imperial doctor after the dispersal of the court." Jinqi said with a smile.

"Imperial Doctor Xuan?" Yun Sheng asked puzzledly, if it is suspected that he has been hit by the medicine, I am afraid that the effect of the medicine has passed at this time, can it still be found out?

Seeing Yun Shang's puzzled look, Jinqi said in a low voice: "Shang'er seems to have forgotten that Miaoyin Pavilion has a medicine master. ”

"What is this?"

"According to the inquiry, the Fifth Highness and Li Zhaoyi were ready to use the poison in the body of the Fifth Highness, and in order to save the life of the Fifth Highness, Miss Chu did not hesitate to save it in the name of the festival, and wanted to die, but was stopped by the Fifth Highness. Well, it's a good show. Jinqi said disdainfully.

Such a plan is not clever, but the two of them are already known to Zhou Gong, and it is impossible to cover up the past. I thought of such a method......

The fact that the two of them are designed in this way is by others, and Chu Mengxi understands the righteousness and is willing to commit suicide to protect his reputation, His Royal Highness feels that it is not easy, and even feels that his conduct is noble, so he asks for marriage. The reason for not asking for an edict in the court is because of the special situation, and he is unwilling to push a noble woman to the forefront again.

Oh, this cheeky is also really thick-skinned.

"This not only restores Chu Mengxi's reputation, but also may correct her from a concubine?" Yunshang frowned.

It's a pity that the soft sedan chair he wanted to invite was destroyed and seriously injured. I had to send other imperial doctors. Jinqi said coldly, Jinqi will never be merciful to the enemy. That imperial doctor also helped Li Zhaoyi to be powerful, and he had endured him for a long time.

"The five emperor brothers must be in good health and have nothing to do." Yunshang said with a chuckle.

Jinqi nodded and said, "Well, however, I'm not here for this purpose this time." ”

"That's?" Yunshang asked puzzledly, as soon as he returned to the Huadian from the Queen Mother, he saw Xiaoyin waiting outside, and after talking for a long time, he actually said that it was not for the Fifth Emperor Brother and Chu Mengxi?

"Hmm" Jinqi's eyes flashed slightly: "You, do you really want to go home tomorrow?" ”

Yun Sheng blushed unconsciously when she heard this, nodded and said, "Well, I have lived in the palace for a long time, and it's time to go home." ”

"Well, it's better to go back sooner." Jinqi said in a low voice, and there was no reluctance in her tone that Yunshang expected.

Yunshang was slightly stunned, why did he seem to want to leave by himself, could it be that he was thinking too much?

Looking at Yunsheng's slightly lost appearance, Jinqi's eyes bent slightly: "There are many secret guards and guards in the palace, and it is not as convenient as the Zhenguo Mansion." ”

Yun Sheng raised her eyebrows, facing Jinqi's expectant gaze, and instantly remembered the scene where Jinqi appeared in the boudoir of Xiyun Pavilion many times in black clothes and with a mask. Since entering the palace, due to the inconvenience of her identity, Jinqi has been here three times. But when he thought that he often appeared in his boudoir without saying hello, Yunshang was still a little dissatisfied.

"I feel that the palace is pure." After speaking, without waiting for Jinqi to reply, he got up and prepared to go to the inner room.

Seeing this, Jinqi smiled stupidly, got up and hugged Yunshang from behind and said, "Shang'er, can I go see you tomorrow night?" Shall I see you every day in the future? ”

The scent of pine branches on the man's body lingers on the tip of his nose, which is different from his uncle's ambergris and his brother's canaan incense, and the faint fragrance is so familiar that it is reassuring.

"What if I can't say it?" Yunshang said with a chuckle.

"Then I will be outside Xiyun Garden every day, as long as I look at you from afar, I can rest assured. Dress, I don't dare to let you out of my sight again. Jinqi unconsciously hugged Yunshang tightly and felt the faint fragrance on Yunshang's body. lowered his head and secretly kissed Yunsheng's bun.

The two negligences pushed Yun Sheng to the brink of danger, not daring to think, not daring to recall, the first time if Xia Yunxuan was one step late, Yun Sheng might have been seriously injured. The second time, as long as he was one step earlier, Yunshang would not be able to avoid the torture of Bayar's pervert. In the past few days, as long as you close your eyes, you can see the scarred appearance of Yunshang in the secret room, and you can only sleep peacefully by looking at the lanterns in the middle palace of Linhua Hall from afar.

Feeling Jinqi's slight trembling, Yunshang didn't feel that her heart softened, and said softly: "I'll be fine, I'll work hard to become stronger, this capital is far more dangerous than I thought." I don't know what the Scars are, but they must be dangerous, otherwise why would you be masked? I don't want you to face danger on your own. ”

Yunshang raised her hand and put her hand on Jinqi's right wrist and said, "I don't want to be a burden to you. ”

"You've never been," Jinqi whispered, the corners of her mouth curled up in a beautiful curvature.

How can you be my burden, you have always been my gentlest guard, as long as I know that you are here, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will not give up.
