Mei Rui turned her head and asked Qingrong sharply, "When did the girl offend Princess Yongping?" ”

Fu Cui and Yuan's mother didn't know why, and they looked confused.

Qingrong was full of suspicion: "If I said that because of Yuan Heng, I have avoided suspicion in front of Princess Yongping, why is she like this?" She saw that Mei Rui was puzzled, so she told Mei Rui that Yuan Heng had come to see her before, Princess Yongping was jealous and dissatisfied, and she told Mei Rui about the past because of Yuan Heng's small characters.

Mei Rui couldn't help but shake her head, "Since Princess Yongping minds this matter in her heart, where will she easily reveal it." I didn't care about it before, I'm afraid it's because I'm going to set off because of the royal car. But now that you are following Mrs. Fengguo and driving south, Young Master Tongyuan has many more opportunities to see the driver, and Princess Yongping is not happy. ”

Qingrong immediately had two big heads, and secretly scolded Song Zhao in his heart for causing him such a big trouble, and sure enough, as soon as her affairs touched Song Zhao, she was bound to develop in an unlucky direction. Thinking like this, Qingrong unconsciously thought of the vicious methods of conspiracy and framing in the palace fighting drama, and said with some fear: "How is this good, will the emperor cut me if I am late for the banquet?" ”

Mei Rui was worried, and after listening to Qingrong's words, she couldn't help but smile: "What are you going to do to cut you?" If you have to go, your wife will say that you are not feeling well, and there is nothing. You're not a deception, but it's not that serious. Princess Yongping is just teaching you a lesson, and she doesn't want you to show your face in front of the emperor and the queen mother. Your unexcused absence is just annoying, either to make Mrs. Fengguo unhappy, or to make the Queen Mother unhappy. ”

Listening to Mei Rui explain the severity of the situation one by one, Qingrong was somewhat relieved, and said: "That being the case, I don't have any decent clothes to wear, so I won't go if I don't go." ”

Mei Rui smiled: "Now that we want to go, someone has to open the door for us, if the slave is right, those who were taken away by Princess Yongping should also come back." ”

At this time, there was a sound of "cluck" outside the door, as if something was moving the handle. After a while, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Qingrong saw that Song Zhao was standing outside the door.

Song Zhao was wearing a bright purple robe, with silver thread embroidered with the four friends of the year, which was very beautiful and fancy. Seeing Qingrong, Song Zhao smiled brightly and harmlessly, and beckoned: "You are really locked in the house." ”

Song Zhao stepped into the door quickly, and directly dragged Qingrong's wide sleeves and said, "Don't leave yet, it's too late." ”

Qingrong looked at him gloating, but felt that most of the doors were locked by him. After all, Song Zhao, Ye Qin and the others lived in the cabin, and above the first floor, it was not a place where they could easily set foot. If he hadn't had the door locked, he would never have known about it.

Qingrong followed Song Zhao on the one side, and the other squinted at him and said, "It's clear that you did this!" ”

Song Zhao frowned and said, "What's in it for me to do this!" It was made by Princess Yongping in order to teach you a lesson. ”

Qingrong disagreed, "Then how do you know?" ”

Song Zhao said: "I heard it below. ”

The two of them had reached a semi-open platform while talking, and at this time the emperor was sitting in the center, the queen mother and Mrs. Fengguo were sitting on the left side of the emperor, and the queen and concubine were sitting on the right side. Song Zhao didn't avoid it, and the big lama entered the door with Qingrong, pulled Qingrong and knelt down and said: "Hello to the emperor and the queen mother, the queen and the concubine are healthy." ”

The queen looked at this posture, her eyelids jumped, for fear that Song Zhao would say something earth-shattering at this time.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You two are too late, you should be punished, you should be punished!" ”

Song Zhao smiled and said respectfully: "The princess asked her to tie Miss Shen's door, and I helped her open the door, so it was too late." ”

Qingrong didn't expect Song Zhao to say it so bluntly, and he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart. But she didn't grasp the initiative in time for this matter, and now it's too late to say anything. Her eyes were furious when she saw Princess Yongping's eyes, and the smile on her face became stiff and reluctant.

"Nonsense! Why shall I go and bolt her door? Princess Yongping retorted angrily.

The concubine smiled unhurriedly, and said to the emperor: "Song Shizi is an absurd and accustomed personality, the emperor should not be serious with him, since the person has arrived, let's sit at the table." ”

Song Zhao didn't understand the concubine's intention to calm things, and said with straight eyebrows: "I only knew when I heard Princess Yongping talking to her personal female officer, otherwise how could I go to the third floor in a good manner?" ”

The emperor's face was not shocked, and he said lightly: "Okay, okay, since everyone has arrived, let's take the seat." How long will I and the Queen Mother wait? ”

Since the emperor said this, it was obvious that he was going to help the concubine and Princess Yongping, and the queen's face immediately couldn't hold back, and she looked at Song Zhao and said, "Don't retreat quickly!" ”

Song Zhao didn't care about these things, but Qingrong was very weak in her heart, she just followed Mrs. Fengguo out and made such a fuss, which really gave Mrs. Fengguo eye medicine. She was quite depressed, and now that her position was arranged next to Princess Yongping, she was naturally even more depressed.

Qingrong sat down slowly, and the eunuchs beside the emperor passed the meal, singing and dancing. At this time, the sound of silk and bamboo was everywhere, and the dancing girl entered and began to sing and dance.

Princess Yongping took advantage of the sound of the music to sneer at Qingrong and said, "You are just the granddaughter of a slave family, and now you can sit at the same table with me, it is really your creation." ”

Although Qingrong didn't like Princess Yongping to be so arrogant and domineering, but in view of Princess Yongping's status, she had to swallow her anger, unlike Shen Lingrong, she didn't have the courage to fight with her, "Princess, I'm just familiar with Young Master Yuan, he has been taken care of by my mother since he was sent to my house, so now he also takes care of our sisters." Last time, my sister was injured in the arm, and it was also the doctor that Young Master Yuan helped to hire. Qingrong's efforts to highlight that Runrong was also taken care of by Yuan Heng, hoping to calm Princess Yongping's unhappiness with her.

Princess Yongping didn't want to hear what Qing Rong said at all, "I just don't like my father and grandmother to value you!" ”

Qingrong smiled awkwardly and explained: "The emperor and the queen mother really don't value me, they just treat me as fun." ”

Princess Yongping looked at the graceful figure of the dancing girl intently, and there was a hint of fierceness in her eyes, "It's not good to have fun, and the only person who can make my father and grandmother happy." Princess Yongping said, and pushed Qingrong's arm violently, gently dodging it, and directly swept a plate in her hand to the ground. In the soft music of silk and bamboo, the sound of the plate falling to the ground was particularly violent, and the music was interrupted, and the queen mother and the emperor were all shocked.

Qingrong knew that she couldn't explain, so she got up and knelt down directly and said, "The little girl is not careful, she shocked the holy driver, please forgive the emperor and the queen mother." ”

Song Zhao looked at Qingrong with a smile, and said in a weird manner: "Is it true that you are not careful, or is the princess not careful?" As soon as Song Zhao spoke, the hall became more and more silent, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

Mrs. Fengguo immediately opened her mouth solemnly and said, "What a stupid girl who can't get on the stage!" As she spoke, she also got up and knelt down to confess to the queen mother and the emperor: "This girl looks like a clever person on weekdays, but she hasn't gone through such an occasion for the imperial swallow drink, so it's better to let her retreat, and we are all more comfortable." ”

The Queen Mother hurriedly leaned over and pulled Mrs. Fengguo by the hand, and said, "It's just not careful, where is something terrible, it's worth your kneel, get up quickly." ”

The emperor was also quite helpless on his face, and said: "Since this is the case, let her step down." ”

Although it is not a glorious and dignified thing to be forced to retire on such an occasion, everyone present, except Qingrong, has the lowest status, which is really incompatible with this place, two worlds.

Inevitably, Princess Yongping burned her to death with this scorching malice, and Qingrong was so happy that she hurried away from this place.

The sky is getting dark, and the dragon boat is slowly moving in the river, the wind is cool on all sides, and the people who blow are particularly refreshing and comfortable. Mei Rui followed Qingrong closely, and seeing that she was not in a hurry to go back, she also accompanied Qingrong to the stern of the boat slowly. was worried that she would be hit hard because of her withdrawal, so she smiled and comforted: "Madame asked the girl to withdraw from the table, and it was also difficult for Princess Yongping to be a girl." We are all slaves, that is, the queen mother and the emperor are taking a fancy to it, and there is no reason to collide with the master, girl, don't mind, you can't get along with yourself. ”

Although Qingrong was very disdainful of "they are all slaves, and there is no reason to contradict the master", he had to admit that his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he nodded and said: "If I don't even know this, then I will have failed my grandmother to kneel for me in vain." ”

Mei Rui smiled and said, "The girl is really worry-free!" ”

The two walked for a while, Qingrong felt that the wind was cold on the river, and she was about to go back, but she saw Yuan Heng coming to her not far away. As soon as Qingrong saw that it was him, he felt troubled, and turned around and wanted to go around the stern. When it passed, it was guarded by the imperial guards. Qingrong knew that that there was the residence of the queen mother and the emperor, and she would never be able to go over. had to turn around and walk over to meet Yuan Heng.

Yuan Heng's heart was bright, and he saw Qingrong's move in his eyes, but he didn't avoid it, and said calmly: "Put on the wind and cool at night, if you want to disperse at this time, let someone take a cloak to save you from catching a cold again." ”

Yuan Heng has been a warm man since he was a child, and everything about Yuan Heng in Qingrong's impression is a gentle appearance with a smile, and he often speaks to help her and remind her. Qingrong is already very accustomed to such Yuan Heng, even if he deliberately avoids it now, his heart is still warm when he hears him say this. Although he didn't speak, he nodded meekly and obediently.

"The emperor only has one daughter, Princess Yongping, who is used to being the only one, and she is difficult to get along with. If she makes fun of you, you will only suffer, and if you can avoid it in the future, try to avoid her. Yuan Heng smiled slightly, and reminded her again: "On weekdays, I see that girls are weak, and most of them are seasick and uncomfortable when they take the boat, but you adapt quickly." ”

Qingrong was reminded by him, and immediately understood, and said, "It was okay just now, but now it's very uncomfortable." ”

Yuan Heng smiled: "If you don't feel well, go back and rest early, and we'll go to Yangzhou early the next morning." I'm afraid that there will be no call tomorrow, and I can't come down easily, so it's best to hide and relax because of illness. ”

Qingrong gave Yuan Heng an extraordinarily gentle smile, this handsome and handsome face shone more and more brightly in the night, and Mei Rui couldn't help blushing when she saw it. While going upstairs, he sighed: "Young Master Yuan is so gentle and considerate to the girl, no wonder the Duke of Yongping is not happy." It's no wonder that the young master of the Yuan family was originally a good person for everyone, if anyone marries him......"

"Ahem......"

Mei Rui heard a very light cough, and immediately stopped, and the person became extra vigilant, and said, "Who's there?" ”
