Chapter 7: The Prince Comes, Too

Lou Jingyuan was named the queen of Nan'an, and now His Majesty ordered someone to build a mansion outside the palace and reward him.

Yesterday's birthday of his biological mother, Concubine Shu, King Nan'an naturally wanted to enter the palace to accompany him. Following the rules, after the birthday feast, he went back to his house to rest.

Emperor Yuanxi remembered the filial piety of King Nan'an to Concubine Shu, and deliberately gave him a day of rest, so he didn't have to go to court.

The eunuch took the token of the concubine out of the palace and came to the palace of Nan'an.

"What, my aunt is at my mother's place now? How long has it been here? ”

Lou Jingyuan stood up suddenly, and the teacup in his hand was unstable.

"I came here early this morning. Lord, quickly follow the servants into the palace, so as not to worry about the concubine and the lady. ”

"I am in such a hurry to send you to me, did the mother say something about it?"

"This minion doesn't know."

Lou Jingyuan's face was cloudy.

The Zhao family entered the palace early in the morning to see the concubine, and it must have been after Song Wu'er went back yesterday and told the Zhao family about him and Chu Mi'er. I'm afraid I'm waiting for him in the palace at this time, so that I can settle this account.

Zhao's temper is notoriously irritable, and arguing with her, no one can beat her. Even His Majesty is not willing to provoke her at will.

To enter the palace, or not to enter the palace?

Lou Jingyuan paced back and forth, unable to choose.

Where could the eunuch who came over to deliver the message think that King Nan'an's heart was complicated at the moment, and he hesitated for a long time, so he had to urge: "Lord Wang, Concubine Shu is still waiting for you in the palace." ”

It's just a blessing or a curse, and it can't be avoided. Maybe things weren't the way he thought.

"Actually, the prince of Nan'an doesn't have to come over to explain in person."

Zhao sighed lightly, and was about to continue, but was interrupted by Concubine Shu: "Sister-in-law, this matter must be asked to Jingyuan to come over in person, and explain it clearly in front of you and me." This must be a rumor from nowhere, and when I ask about it, I will report it to Your Majesty. The harem absolutely does not allow such a villain to exist. ”

Concubine Shu's words, Zhao listened to the blood boiling, and almost didn't applaud.

It's just that the marriage contract between King Nan'an and Song Wu'er was agreed by Concubine Shu, and in the end, Concubine Shu had to go to His Majesty again and ask for the dissolution of the marriage contract in person.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely not let Wu'er be wronged."

"The courtiers thanked Niangniang for Wu'er."

Zhao had a grateful look on his face, and he didn't know how many times he was disgusted.

"Sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite, everything will be solved when Jing Yuan comes."

Zhao nodded. That's right, when King Nan'an comes, she will definitely not be polite, and this matter will be resolved. If this marriage contract hadn't been dictated by His Majesty, the Zhao family would not have agreed easily. Since this time is in order to seek justice for Wu'er, it is better to add another fire.

"I heard that in the past two days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has often entered the palace to share His Majesty's worries. Yesterday's incident, I'm worried that Wu'er misheard and misunderstood King Nan'an, why don't you ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come over? He definitely wouldn't joke about it. ”

Yesterday, I just listened to Song Wu'er describe the scene of the crown prince and King Nan'an, and she wanted to see it with her own eyes, so it was really enjoyable.

"This ...... I'm afraid that's not right. Concubine Shu tugged at the corners of her mouth, just the prince's temperament, if you really invite you over, you can't hide this matter.

Zhao's expression was sad, "The courtiers understand that this will be somewhat embarrassing for the mother." But Niangniang, you also know that Wu'er is the youngest daughter of the family, who is protected by us in the palm of her hand and has never been harmed. The courtiers also hope to be close to their mothers, but if the king of Nan'an has a heart......"

"Sister-in-law, I don't know if this matter is true or not, so I'd better wait for Jing Yuan to come and make a final decision." Obviously ordered the king of Nan'an to come as soon as possible, but there was no news, and she was about to die.

Concubine Shu's wrist is too ordinary, and she can't cope with many things. The Zhao family in front of her will not really wait for King Nan'an to come.

Before entering the palace, Song Shipu told him that he must not be too excited. That doesn't mean she can't have other fun.

"There is no need for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to lie, he has come to testify for King Nan'an, and the courtiers can also feel at ease." Zhao took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes and sobbed in a low voice, "Wu'er came back last night, depressed, and fell asleep for a long time. As a mother, I will definitely be able to understand how distressed I was at that time. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Wu'er I grew up seeing her, and I will never condone Jingyuan to bully her and let her be wronged at all."

Zhao's sentences were sincere, which made the concubine beside her cry. Then, under the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the Zhao family, Concubine Shu ordered the palace maids around her to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come.

Covered by a veil, the corners of Zhao's mouth showed a smug smile, which flashed away. If it is not good to be seen by Concubine Shu, she is not scheming enough, but it does not mean that she is stupid.

Not long after, the palace maid entered the house and reported, "Niangniang, the prince is waiting outside the palace." ”

"Let him in."

"No."

Zhao took a deep breath, the battle was about to begin, and she couldn't afford to lose the upper hand. King Nan'an, you just take it obediently.

"The son has seen his mother and his uncle." The king of Nan'an saluted.

Concubine Shu retreated left and right, then snorted coldly and shouted, "Kneel down for me!" ”

King Nan'an looked up at his mother, with a puzzled look on his face, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Sure enough, when you go up in rank, your attitude towards people and things is completely different. In the past, when I was a noble concubine, how could I be so majestic.

No, not only the Zhao family was impressed with her, but even her own son Nan'an Wang was stunned there.

"I'll get you on your knees!" Shufei raised her voice a degree.

"No."

As soon as the king of Nan'an knelt down, Zhao immediately persuaded him: "Niangniang, there is gold under the man's knees, the prince has not made any mistakes, let him kneel, it is a loss of the prince's identity." Seeing this scene, I was very unbearable. Actually, the heart blossomed.

Kneel down, why didn't you persuade it earlier?

King Nan'an had a bad seizure, knelt on his knees, raised his head and asked Concubine Shu, "Mother, my sons don't know what they have done wrong, which makes the mother so displeased." ”

Concubine Shu glanced at Zhao, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and when she saw King Nan'an asking her, she replied angrily: "It's not a good thing you did." ”

"Please also ask the mother to make it clear."

"Jing Yuan, the girl of the Chu family-Chu Mi'er, do you know?"

King Nan'an frowned slightly, "Mother, what are you doing with this name all of a sudden?" ”

He can be sure that the Zhao family came here early in the morning because Song Wu'er bumped into his conversation with Chu Mi'er last night and came over to ask for an explanation.

"I ask you, do you recognize you?"

"Erchen saw it at the mother's birthday banquet, but the others are gone." King Nan'an is serious nonsense.

"Really?" Concubine Shu's tone softened.

"Really. Erchen didn't know which one had a broken mouth, and said slanderous words in front of his mother and uncle. Erchen can guarantee that he has never done anything to embarrass his mother. ”

"Sister-in-law, I just said that Jing Yuan would not do such a thing, there must be some misunderstanding." Concubine Shu stared at Zhao tightly, for fear of missing any expression on her face.

The Zhao family has already applauded King Nan'an's acting skills from the bottom of her heart, and when it comes to this, she doesn't say anything, she is sorry for King Nan'an.

"Uncle, is my cousin misunderstanding something? Today, I'm going to go to my cousin and explain it. ”

Zhao snorted coldly: "No, you let Wu'er recuperate for a few days, don't bother, it's the best." The last thing she wants to see at the moment is probably you. ”

"Auntie, you are ......"

"Yesterday's birthday of Concubine Shu, where did King Nan'an go halfway?"

"There's something I need to take care of."

"At yesterday's banquet, the girl from the Chu family also came. But the strange thing is that I tried to talk to her halfway through, and I asked around, but I couldn't find anyone. At that time, King Nan'an also seemed to have left. ”

"It's just a coincidence, and my aunt doesn't have to take it personally."

"That means that what Wu Er saw and heard next was just a coincidence?" Coincidence coincidence, where did so many coincidences come from.

Immediately afterwards, the Zhao family told the story of this pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, full of regret.

"My aunt is not an unreasonable person, if you are really happy with the girl of the Chu family, then my aunt will definitely not beat the mandarin ducks."

"Uncle, Jing Yuan really likes my cousin, I have met this girl of the Chu family a few times, what happened last night was indeed a misunderstanding."

The Song family was powerful and influential in the court. Being able to marry the Song family and be close to each other will be of great benefit to him in the future. He's not going to just give up the great opportunity in front of him.

The mother concubine has been fighting in the palace for many years, and she has just been promoted to the position of concubine, which is not easy. If he loses this opportunity, then if he wants to fight with other princes and princes again, he will have absolutely no chance of winning.

He was not reconciled!

The king of Nan'an was unwilling, and the Zhao family was also furious here. She slammed the table, picked up a teacup and smashed it on the pillar next to her, the teacup shattered in response, and pointed at the nose of King Nan'an and began to reprimand.

"Really like it? King Nan'an, do you like Wu'er, or do you like the status of my Song family in the court, and you are reluctant to lose this backer? ”

From the moment he came to Fangzhi Palace, Zhao kept telling himself that he couldn't get excited, couldn't get angry, couldn't abuse, couldn't ...... Let all of this not go to hell!

The king of Nan'an and his own pearl in the palm of his hand are not comparable!

Zhao's actions didn't really scare King Nan'an, but the concubine who was closest to her was scared.

"Sister-in-law...... Sister-in-law, don't get excited. Concubine Shu barely pulled out a smile.

"Heaven and earth can be seen, I am sincere to my cousin. If not, the sky will thunder! "King Nan'an is still hard-mouthed.

Not many people in the palace know about yesterday's events. It is far from enough to rely on Song Wu'er's words.

"Brother Sanhuang, don't make this oath indiscriminately. In this broad daylight, if it really comes true, do you want the lady to wash her face with tears in the days to come? ”

As soon as Zhao wanted to continue, a sneer came from outside, and then a bright yellow figure walked into the hall.

"See the Prince." The three of them fell silent and saluted respectfully.

"Third Emperor Brother, I was so affectionate with the girl of the Chu family last night, why don't I marry the girl of the Song family today? It's really an amorous prince. ”

King Nan'an's face turned pale in an instant. How did he forget this love-spotter!
