248 Births

"Tell me about today's events, what's going on?" The queen's gaze swept over several people, staring at Peng Yunwei intently.

The latter was on his knees, knelt down and said, "Niang Niang Mingjian, this incident is really an accident." The road was slippery, and the girls walked behind, but somehow, they slid and crashed, and in the chaos, they pushed the princess's sister. ”

"Concubine Peng is clean, this imperial garden is cleaned by one hundred and ten palace people every day, not to mention, today's banquet in the palace is even more important, naturally it is cleaned early, where does the snow and the road slippery? What's more, at that time, it was the side concubine who supported the princess, why did the princess fall down, but you were still upright? At this time, it was the maidservant girl beside Princess Fu who spoke, Pei Jinzhen glanced at it, and it was the one who supported Princess Fu at the beginning.

After saying this, she looked at Peng Yunwei's unhurried look, but she was neither humble nor arrogant, and slammed her head on the ground and said, "Queen Mother, it must be Concubine Peng who knows out of nowhere that the princess is pregnant, so, take advantage of today's palace banquet, start first, and then use those who don't know to get out, and ask the queen to be the princess and the poor little master!" ”

"You talk nonsense. Your master held the news of her pregnancy so tightly, wasn't he afraid that others would harm her? If you don't shout it out today, even the queen doesn't know it, how do I know? Peng Yunwei naturally shouted wronged.

At this time, another palace maid named Su Xin by the queen's side came back, went to the queen's side, and whispered a few words.

The queen's fingers resting on the side tapped lightly a few times, and her eyes turned to Pei Jinzhen and Xiao Lingxi.

"You two were also present at the time, which is right and wrong, why don't you help distinguish between them?"

"The Queen Mother." Xiao Lingxi and Pei Jinzhen hurriedly knelt down, with Xiao Lingxi in front, but it was not Pei Jinxi's turn to speak first, she was happy to touch the ground with her forehead first, silent, and heard Xiao Lingxi argue, "Erchen and Pei San Girl were talking in the back, and when they got to the steps, because Erchen's bead hairpin was crooked, Erchen and Pei San Girl stopped to tidy up the bead hairpin, and did not follow for the time being." When I heard the shouting, I realized that something was wrong, and the fourth emperor's sister-in-law had already rolled down the stone steps at that time, as for what happened and how she rolled down, Erchen and Pei San didn't know anything. ”

"What the princess said, do you two have any doubts?" The queen's eyes looked at Peng Yunwei and Princess Fu's maidservant.

Both of them were speechless, even Peng Yunwei, although she was a little unwilling, at this time, she had to shut up.

The queen nodded, "It seems that it's all true." He pondered slightly, but then asked, "How could Miss Pei San accompany Princess Fu and them to visit the garden together?" ”

That's suspicious, right? After all, she and Princess Fu are not familiar at all. With Concubine Peng, more or less, there are still some discords.

Pei Jinzhen had already expected this question, so he replied unhurriedly, "The courtiers inadvertently bumped into Princess Fu and her party, and it was Concubine Peng who warmly invited her, and the courtiers couldn't shirk it, so they were with them, who knows...... Something like this will happen. ”

Peng Yunwei's body was shocked, and her face turned two points whiter, Pei Jinzhen didn't tell a lie, this happened in front of everyone, she couldn't quibble.

Now it seems that she insisted on letting Pei Jinzhen go to the garden together, so she also had two more premeditated feelings.

Empress Zheng's fingers paused slightly, and her gaze swept over the two of them, "It seems that this matter really has nothing to do with the two of you." In this case, go out first. It's about to start a banquet outside, so you can go to the banquet with peace of mind, but it's just today......"

"Keep your mouth shut, please rest assured." Pei Jinzhen said with understanding.

"Yes! Please rest assured. Xiao Lingxi also hurriedly followed.

"Go down!" Empress Zheng waved her hand.

"Queen Mother!" Peng Yunwei was busy.

"What? Concubine Peng is dissatisfied with the disposal of the palace? Then, later, there should be no need for the palace to ask again, and Concubine Peng can also give the palace a satisfactory answer? Empress Zheng's voice didn't improve, but with a cold glance, Peng Yunwei's figure flickered, and she stopped talking, not daring to say anything again.

Pei Jinzhen and Xiao Lingxi didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly got up and saluted Empress Zheng, and the two were led out of the hall by Su Xin.

When the door of the palace was closed, I could vaguely hear the rebuke of Empress Zheng in the palace, "The most hated thing in the life of this palace is to make a fuss about children." It was an innocent life after all, and it was the blood of the royal family......"

The door of the hall slammed shut, Pei Jinzhen let out a long sigh of relief, turned around, and just happened to bump into Xiao Lingxi, who was also exhaling, the two looked at each other, invariably hooked the corners of their mouths, and smiled bitterly.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, this is what the Queen Mother asked the slave to hand over to you." Su Xin took out a folded handkerchief at this time and handed it to Xiao Lingxi.

Xiao Lingxi opened the veil a little strangely, but saw that there were actually some beads inside, the size of a fine grain of rice, all white.

"The princess will definitely keep her things next time." Su Xin said goodbye to the two on his knees.

It wasn't until Su Xin left that Xiao Lingxi's eyes were a little clearer, and after he suddenly realized, he was shocked into a cold sweat.

"Thank you very much for today." Walking away from Fengzao Palace, Xiao Lingxi whispered thanks in Pei Jinzhen's ear.

From the string of beads, to the later visit to the garden, it is obvious that someone deliberately did it, today, if it weren't for Pei Jinzhen pulling her hand, I'm afraid that she would not be able to wash it even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

In this palace, the people from the people are treacherous, you may not hinder others, maybe just because, if you make good use of them, you will become a pawn of others.

Therefore, at this moment, in addition to being afraid, Xiao Lingxi is sincerely grateful to Pei Jinzhen.

"Don't say anything more, princess, today's events are just a coincidence." Pei Jinzhen said lightly, "In the future, the princess must be more careful when acting." ”

Xiao Lingxi naturally nodded, but there was more resistance to this palace in his heart.

"You say...... What's going on today? After taking a few steps, the more Xiao Lingxi thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Pei Jinzhen stopped slightly, frowned and looked at her, "The princess has grown up in the palace since she was a child, and she must know better than me that the things in this palace are changing rapidly, curious, and not beneficial. Many times, curiosity can lead to a person not living long. Let alone...... In this palace, there is no need for the truth. ”

It's like the palace maid who died on the edge of the royal river before, isn't it gone? In this palace, I don't know how many secrets there are, and they will be buried after all.

This time, it's the same.

"The princess and I were able to get out safely, but we relied on the queen's mother's heart to protect each other, as for the rest, you and I can't control it, and we can't manage it."

Xiao Lingxi looked at Pei Jinzhen's eyes, his face was slightly pale, but he nodded vigorously, "I understand, we just happened to meet in the Imperial Garden today, and we just walked around the garden together." "Otherwise, nothing happened.
