Chapter 13 The Turmoil Continues
Ning Zimo didn't say much, just nodded, and said obediently: "Outside the palace, I naturally miss my mother." ”
Concubine Jing smiled and asked someone to serve tea to Ning Zimo, but the palace maid accidentally spilled all the tea on her arm, fortunately, the water temperature was not very hot, and it did not burn her skin, but it was wet and sticky and uncomfortable.
"Niangniang forgives me, Miss forgives me, the slave didn't mean it, please forgive me."
The maid reacted quickly, knelt down almost instantly, shrunk into a ball on the ground in fear, and kowtowed in fear.
"Foolish minion, pull out the rod and punish 20 sticks."
After the concubine finished speaking, she hurriedly ordered someone to prepare clothes for Ning Zimo, Ning Zimo quietly took off her clothes and waited in the room, sitting obediently waiting for the palace maid to come in with clothes.
Ning Zimo's afterglow still saw the pair of golden reckless soap boots behind the galloping screen of the ten thousand horses, since she came in, the person had been standing behind, she turned her back to him, and rolled up the cuffs in front of him, so that he could see clearly that there was no cinnabar mole on her white arm, and there was no cinnabar mole he wanted to see.
A few days ago, she asked Yunu to tell Arnold that she went to the third prince's mansion to spread rumors through the hands of the second lady, saying that the innocent lady of the general's mansion was no longer there, and ordered Yunu to boil medicine and remove the cinnabar mole on her arm.
No matter how much a man looks at power, he will not tolerate his wife having someone else in his heart, and he has lost his life for the man next to him, let alone the proud prince of the heavenly family.
When Ning Zimo changed her clothes and came out, Concubine Jing was no longer here, and an old grandmother stepped forward and said respectfully: "Miss Ning, the third prince is here, the concubine is talking to the third prince, let me take you back to the banquet." ”
Ning Zimo nodded and said thank you with a chuckle.
After saying this, she left, the concubine was still behind the screen and closed her eyes to recuperate, and Gong Xuanqing came out from behind the heavy curtain of the main hall.
"Qing'er, are you really unwilling to marry her?" There was regret in her tone, maybe she hoped that he would change his mind, Ning Zimo's child she liked from the bottom of her heart.
"My son doesn't believe how the second lady of the General's Mansion slandered her, but I saw it clearly just now, she, she..."
Although the concubine knew what Qing'er hadn't finished speaking, she waved her hand and said directly: "If you don't believe her, you have long suspected that she is not perfect, so you thought of letting Xiaobing wet her robe and let her change her clothes in the palace, you can take a good look at whether she has cinnabar moles, right?" ”
His face was a little red, so suspicious of a person, and he didn't dare to run over to question her personally, this kind of discomfort, from the time he heard the rumors, he was blocked every day, he wanted to believe her, but just now he didn't see the cinnabar mole that symbolized a woman's chastity, and the last bit of trust was gone.
The concubine looked at her son's soul and went out, and frowned with some doubts, and said to the people around her with the doubts in her heart: "Tianqin, you have always been the most accurate in seeing people, why does this palace always feel that this young lady seems to want to clear up the relationship with Qing'er?" ”
"The slave doesn't know, it's just that when Miss Yan changed her clothes just now, Miss Yan seemed to know that there was someone in the room, and deliberately poked her arm out to let the third prince see clearly."
Tianqin saw that there was no one else in this room, although she called herself a slave and maid, and the words she said were not the tone that a slave and maid should have, but the concubine shook her head and said: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, let him be." ”
"By the way, Niangniang, the aunt next to the princess came to report that the princess had escaped the class and went to the banquet to join in the fun."
Concubine Jing closed her eyes and said hoarsely: "After two more years, she won't have such a mind to play anymore, let her be." ”
Tianqin knows that the concubine has always liked to chant Buddha, compassion for the heart, everything is natural, it seems that there is no desire, but it is such an attitude that makes the old emperor want to give her more things, power, favor, respect, these things, she Chonghua Palace has never lacked.
When Ning Zimo returned to the Imperial Garden, she saw a lot of inner guards pulling out sharp knives around Xiaoli, seeing this situation, her heart jumped to her throat, Sister Anan saw her coming, and immediately grabbed her and said: "You don't care about this matter, the cat you brought scratched the hand of the fifth princess, and the fifth princess said to dismantle this cat in eight pieces." ”
She was astonished to see the little girl who was only ten years old crying on the ground, and there were many trembling palace maids and eunuchs kneeling beside her.
She hurriedly ran over, grabbed the little princess's wrist, and saw the shocking wound on the back of the little princess's hand, dripping with blood, the wound was extremely deep, and the flesh was flying...
She got up, this Xiaoli can't scratch people so badly for no reason, usually she has never seen Xiaoli show its claws, although it is a cat, but it will never look like this.
She was about to go in, but when she saw Xiao Li, she was really angry, her hair stood on end, and she was hunched, looking for a breakthrough.
"Zi Mo, don't go in, you..."
She shook off Sister Anan's hand, blocked in front of the guards, and explained: "It can't hurt people, you can't catch it for no reason, it's a pet raised at home, after strict training, you can't dispose of it at will without figuring it out." ”
"Joke, it doesn't matter if you have been trained or not, this cat hurt the fifth princess of Concubine Jing, but it was just a brute, and when she died, she died. It's you, Miss, this cat was brought in by you, be careful that the concubine asks Miss for your guilt. ”
After saying this, she saw that the young general who had just spoken ordered these people to catch Xiaoli, and her heart was in her throat, but although Xiaoli was fat, her skills were athletic, but she jumped out of the encirclement in a few moments and jumped towards her, although the impact was a little big, but she still caught it steadily.
"Please ask Miss Ning to hand over this culprit."
Gong Xuanqing came, first checked his sister's injuries, and then ordered someone to hire a doctor, and dismissed these young ladies, and finally walked to Ning Zimo with a solemn face, stared at the cat in her arms viciously, and shouted at her without question: "Hand it over, the queen mother, I will help you intercede." ”
"It can't be it, the third prince, its minions are clean, there is no dander and blood at all, how can it be Xiaoli?"
The first moment Xiaoli threw herself into her arms, she carefully looked at Xiaoli's claws, the claws were still so pink, she deliberately looked at its minions, and the inside was clean, so the five princesses were not hurt by it at all.
"Really? You give it to me, I'll take a look. ”
She was about to send it to Gong Xuanqing's hands, but this Xiaoli stretched out his claws and grabbed her clothes tightly, with unwillingness written on his face, this attitude was clearly refusing to be in the hands of others.
