Jiao Niang couldn't say a word in surprise, this matter changed to another man, and she would only avoid it. But Pang Ce stood up at this time and was willing to marry Shui Xiang, which was really shocking.

After glancing at Ying Che, who was also shocked, Jiao Niang set her eyes on Pang Ce, and said later: "You should know what happened." ”

Pang Ce looked at Jiao Niang and was silent, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Jiao Niang then asked, "When this happens, are you still willing to marry her?"

Pang Ce smiled and said in a sarcastic tone: "Niangniang is also a woman, how can she say such stupid things." ”

Ying Che's eyebrows were furious, and he shouted: "Presumptuous!"

Pang Ce bowed his head and apologized to Jiao Niang: "The lower official is rude." Then he continued: "Xia Guan just wants to say that a woman's chastity does not depend on the body, but on the heart. To this day, Shui Xiang is still innocent and chaste in my heart, and those who are not chaste are those who bully her. ”

Jiao Niang's heart was shocked, and she couldn't help admiring him, and Qinghuan stroked her palms on the side, and praised: "Well said." Jiao Niang agreed, thought about it and said: "I am naturally happy that you are willing to marry her, but the matter of marriage requires her own consent." ”

Ying Che snorted and said strongly: "Why do you need her consent, you are her master, don't you just call the shots." ”

"But—"

Ying Che interrupted her words, pointed at Pang Ce and said, "In this way, this marriage is in charge of the king, and he will give you the water and incense to be your daughter-in-law." ”

Pang Ce kowtowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Concubine Niang." ”

Jiao Niang smiled, took Ying Che's hand, and said, "You don't need to thank me for this, just thank the prince, he is in charge." ”

Pang Cexi said: "Thank you, thank the prince and the side concubine for their grace." He kowtowed again.

Since the accident, Shui Xiang has always locked herself in the room, but after three or five days, she has lost a lot of weight, and her expression is haggard as if she has aged ten years all of a sudden.

Qing Huan told her about the marriage between the prince and Pang Ce, she only smiled lightly when she heard it, and then kowtowed in front of Jiao Niang, said thank you for her master's kindness, and then said nothing.

Jiao Niang thought that she would cry for a few days, but she cried all night on the day of the incident, and never after that. She has always been resolute and strong, and she doesn't even want to shed more tears, she just thinks it's cowardice.

Qinghuan Wudan tried to persuade her to cry several times, and many things were held back in her heart harder, but she was stopped by Jiao Niang, this kind of thing is not something that others can think of after a few words, and she wants to come out by herself.

She is even more reluctant to go out of the Guan Ju Pavilion, too, in addition to the people in the Guan Ju Pavilion can carefully take into account her feelings, the people outside are all pointing at her behind her back, although Jiao Niang has also punished the maids who chew their tongues outside, but she can block the mouth of one person, but she can't block the mouth of hundreds of people in Rui Wangfu, let alone the mouth of everyone outside the palace, and those contemptuous and contemptuous eyes.

It's ridiculous, most of those chirping chatters and contemptuous glances come from women.

Jiao Niang took a look at the fragrance of doing things with a dull head, and sighed silently, if doing things can make her forget those unpleasantness for a while, then find her more things to do.

The sun was very good on this day, and Jiao Niang asked Shui Xiang to move the book out to dry, and Jiao Niang sat by the window, looking out from time to time through the crack in the window.

Qing Huan brought a bowl of coconut milk and red date bird's nest sweet soup, Jiao Niang scooped it with a silver spoon, tasted a few bites, the coconut water was fragrant, and the red dates were sweet, which was very suitable for her taste.

Qing Huan has been running around for the past two days, and her face is good, Jiao Niang asked while drinking sweet soup, "Did you inquire about it?"

Qing Huan said: "The slave maid has asked. I walked up to Jiao Niang and whispered a few words.

Jiao Niang raised her eyebrows, "Oh?

Qing Huan bowed his head and said, "In this way, the master may have wronged Piaoxiangxuan." ”

Jiao Niang glanced out, and the sun shone on Shui Xiang's busy back, making people feel as if she was so thin that only a pair of bones remained. Jiao Niang turned her eyes, held the book in her hand, and said: "What if you wronged her, from the beginning, whether she did it or not, I want the prince to think that she did it, as long as the prince thinks that she did it, it is her." ”

Qing Huan nodded, and said, "Master, take a rest, always sit here and read, and hurt your eyes carefully." ”

Jiao Niang said "um", put down the book, thought more about it during pregnancy, and had a headache when she thought about it, Jiao Niang rubbed the corners of her forehead, for a moment, her eyes must be certain, and said: "I haven't seen Mrs. Zhou for a few days, so I said that I was idle and boring, and asked her to come and talk." ”

Although the sun is good today, after all, after mid-September, the weather is getting colder and colder day by day, and the newly poured cup of tea is not yet cold, and Mrs. Zhou's graceful figure has bypassed the screen and came to Jiao Niang.

Jiao Niang smiled and looked at her sitting beside her, Mrs. Zhou is not from a famous family, she is just a distant relative of Yi Guifei, and her father is just an outgoing county official, only because of this relationship with Yi Guifei, she was given to Ying Che as a concubine by Yi Guifei.

She has an indifferent temperament, never competes for favor, and never scathing to anyone.

Today, she is wearing a long dress embroidered with blue and blue embroidered and Tilian Shu, and a lotus pattern concentric jade pendant around her waist, and a few beaded tassels worn by tourmaline hang from the lower end of the jade pendant, which is pressed to her knees.

She walked slowly and gracefully, her posture was light, and the accessories on her body could not make a sound when she walked, and she walked in all the way, just like a lotus step by step, and opened in front of Jiao Niang's eyes.

Jiao Niang smiled and asked Qiushuang to serve tea, Qiushuang brought tea, and said with a smile: "Madame has not been here for several days." ”

Mrs. Zhou quickly covered the unnatural smile on her face and said, "I'm just afraid of disturbing your mother's rest." Then he instructed: "Now that she is pregnant, you must pay attention to rest, and you must not let her work." ”

She has always only liked to drink Biluochun, Jiao Niang has prepared it, took a sip, she praised: "Sister, this thing is the best, even the tea is exceptionally fresh." ”

Jiao Niang glanced at her and said with a smile: "I know that my sister loves to drink, and every time I send down the tea, I ask people to pick the best Biluochun to send to my sister, why does my sister only think that I am delicious? It seems that it is not that the tea is different, but that it tastes better when I drink it here." ”

"It is said that eating has something to do with the environment, probably because my sister is deeply loved, Guan Ju Pavilion is like cooking oil on fire, and the flowers are clustered, so the tea drunk here is also extraordinarily sweet. Mrs. Zhou smiled softly, watched Jiao Niang slowly lower her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Speaking of which, my sister is really good to me, and she always thinks about me in everything." ”

Jiao Niang personally poured a cup of tea for her, smiled lightly, and said, "Since my sister still thinks of me, why do you still treat my sister like this?"
