Entering the palace to ask for peace was early on the morning of the third day of marrying into the Chu Mansion.

Suduo led the slave maid and waited for Princess Ziyang to dress up early.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Ziyang couldn't help but sigh: "Help Princess Ben puff on more powder." It looks too haggard this way. ”

"No, it won't." While making up for her, Su Duo smiled and said, "The princess is still bright and beautiful, and she is a little more delicate than before." ”

"Where does the beauty come from?" When Ziyang thought of that night, he felt that his heart was not good. "If it's really as beautiful as you say, why doesn't he even want to come?"

"Xu is busy with the affairs of the court. After all, the emperor has only named the hussar general, and he must behave well. Su Duo smiled and said: "Don't be too careful, maybe the princess is only married, and she is not used to marrying, and she is married to the eldest princess, so it is inevitable that she will be unfamiliar." After a long time, he saw that the princess was sincere, and he would definitely repay it well. ”

"Will it?" Ziyang remembered Chu Peiyuan's words that night, and he felt sad in his heart. "I don't even have the most basic trust......

As soon as the words fell, Xin Ping, the inner chamberlain who served the princess, came in happily: "Your Royal Highness the princess, the forehead is here, and he is waiting outside, saying that he will take you into the palace and ask for peace." ”

"Look, the slave and the maid say, the forehead is not the kind of person who knows hot and cold." Su Duo smiled and said, "Slave maid, please come in." ”

"It's fine." Ziyang nodded, and felt that it was inappropriate: "That's it, let's help Princess Ben out, it's time to enter the palace." ”

"Yes." Xu Duo held Ziyang's hand and walked out slowly.

Chu Peiyuan stood outside the door, as if he was a guest at the door. There is no emotion for this place or for the people here. "Weichen greets the princess."

Ziyang paused for a moment, and his tone was slightly lighter: "There is no princess here, and there are no subordinates, only your wife and your wife's husband." ”

"Even if it is the father and son of the heavenly family, it is also the father and son of the first monarch and the then the father and son, not to mention that Weichen is just the emperor's courtier, how dare he encroach on the majesty of the princess." Chu Peiyuan said respectfully: "The hour is just right, please get the princess in the car." ”

Su Duo deliberately handed the princess's hand to Chu Peiyuan, and he bent down to put the foot down.

Chu Peiyuan naturally couldn't help but hold on, but his hands were cold and stiff, and he really couldn't give her any warmth.

After Ziyang sat down, he was about to lower the curtain.

"Won't the husband enter the palace in the same carriage with me?" Ziyang held the hand he was about to put down the curtain, and pressed slightly. "Anyway, I am accompanying this princess back to the palace to save relatives, don't you even refuse to give such a face?"

Chu Peiyuan hesitated slightly, saw her red eyes, and got into the carriage.

The carriage headed towards the palace, and neither man spoke.

Seriously, if the queen mother is still there, he bullies himself like this, Ziyang really can't wait for the queen mother to reconcile with him. But now, the closest person she is in this world is probably this husband who misunderstands her deeply.

How many people, watching her jokes behind their backs, wish she was swept away.

"The wine that night was not poisonous. I watched the flocculent drink it with my own eyes. And I also asked, the wine was prepared by Chu Fu. Ziyang held back her tears and said slowly: "It's true that I am a down-and-out princess, the queen mother and the royal brother are gone, and I no longer have the dignity I used to have." Brother Jiu can use me to envelop your Chu family, and he is already thinking about it for the sake of flesh and blood. But I am also dignified, I will not use such despicable means to ruin my happiness, believe it or not, in short, I have not done it. ”

Chu Peiyuan didn't say anything, as if he didn't hear it.

When Ziyang said this, he didn't dare to look at his expression. But after saying this, he didn't react, which inevitably made her angry.

She turned her face, and the tears in her eyes were about to be held back: "I am also a victim, why do you have to treat me so indifferently?" Do you want to be my husband, and I have wronged you like this? Isn't my dignified princess worthy of you? ”

"The princess is too worried." Chu Peiyuan looked at the tears that couldn't be hidden in his eyes, and there was a trace of pain in his heart.

He took his own silk from his waist and gently wiped her tears. "What happened that night was Weichen's fault, and he shouldn't blame the princess."

This sentence seemed to poke at Ziyang's soft heart, and her tears poured out at once. "Do you know that no one has ever wronged me like this, and do you know that no matter how down-and-out I am, I have never been wronged like this. Chu Peiyuan, do you know how many times I have thought about going back to die in the past two days, and I can not be angry with you when I die, but I am unwilling, I really haven't done ......"

Chu Peiyuan was a little at a loss: "Don't cry...... Don't cry......"

The more she cried, the more panicked his heart became, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

"It's all your fault, my makeup is spent, what can I do when I enter the palace and let people see it?" Ziyang wiped his tears while crying, and indeed cried into a big face.

"Alright." Chu Peiyuan carefully wiped the silk for her, and held her hand to prevent her from moving.

"I won't just wronged you in the future."

"Hmm." Ziyang nodded, leaning lightly on his shoulder. "I'm just a helpless princess, and yes, it's just the dignity given by Brother Jiu. But what he gave, he can take away with a word, husband, don't make me think I'm just a floating dead leaf, okay? Would you like to give me a little warmth that can drive away the cold? ”

Chu Peiyuan didn't make a sound, he remembered Mu Ning's words, just treat her well.

Princess Ziyang returned to the palace to save her relatives on such a good day, and the Queen Mother wanted to take the opportunity to move back to the first game.

So he asked people to clean up the Fengluan Palace early, and set up a banquet in the vestibule to entertain the princess and the forehead.

Zhuang Chenchen also came directly after the court, and at this time, the queen and the concubine accompanied the queen mother to talk.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother." When he came in, his eyes fell on the queen mother's ruddy cheeks: "The queen mother's complexion looks much better, it must be very good." ”

"Thanks to Concubine Ying's proper service, the queen came to accompany the mourning family all day long." The Queen Mother smiled: "It's hard to think about it." In the end, you are blessed to marry such a virtuous wife, and add such an understanding concubine. ”

It is true that the Queen Mother praised Concubine Ying, and it is also true that she teased the queen.

How could Zhuang Chenchen not understand. "You all don't have to be formal, sit down."

"Your Majesty." Cen Mooning and Ruan Er said in unison.

"It's time for Ziyang to enter the palace." The Queen Mother frowned and asked Lei Zhen beside her: "Why haven't you seen anyone yet?" ”

"Maybe it's a delay on the way. Slave maid, let people go and see it again. Lei Zhen smiled and stepped back.

Cen Muning knew why the Queen Mother insisted on holding a banquet here, which was nothing more than telling the concubines in the palace that her body had recovered. The next step is to plunder power.

"The queen must be pleased." As soon as the Queen Mother changed her words, she went towards Cen Muning.

"The mourning family heard that you even gave Ziyang the triple flying phoenix golden step shake specially made for you by the emperor specially asked a skilled craftsman to do so. I think your grandfather's family still values this family business very much. The Queen Mother said this on purpose to embarrass her.

Cen Muning hooked her lips slightly: "What the queen mother said is very true. The concubine can have Princess Ziyang's cousin-in-law, she is really overjoyed. My grandfather, uncle and cousin have always been loyal to the imperial court, and now they have been married by the emperor, which is naturally a very important happy event. The emperor's Jin Buyao was sent to the palace of the concubines at this time, and the concubines had the courage to borrow flowers to offer Buddha. ”

"It's my negligence, I only remember to order gold ornaments for the queen, and to tell the Internal Affairs Bureau to add some dowry to Ziyang." Zhuang Chenchen looked into her eyes, and then said this.

"That's fine." The Queen Mother seemed to be saying words to praise the queen, but there was a deep meaning between the lines. The queen valued this marriage, and Ziyang's dowry tripled. Your Majesty, you are busy with political affairs, and it is naturally safe for the queen to take care of these things. ”

"Thank you for the compliment." Cen Muning accepted this appreciation without hesitation.

The Queen Mother was stunned, she didn't expect her to be so cheeky.

"However, the concubine is taking care of the affairs of the harem for the emperor for the first time, and it is inevitable that there will be a hundred secrets, if the queen mother does not dislike the stupidity of the concubine, I have to ask you to mention it more. The concubine will ask the queen mother for advice. Cen Mu looked at the Queen Mother with a gentle gaze, and there was a sense of admiration from the bottom of his eyes. This admiration is to admire the Queen Mother's work, even if she made secret visits in the palace and looked through the old files, she couldn't find any traces after all.

Just this meticulous and impeccable meticulousness is worth learning from her.

The queen mother laughed at the end: "I can't complain that the emperor loves the queen so much, and the concubines in this harem are not as ingenious as the queen." ”

Zhuang Chenchen silently tasted the tea in his hand, as if he didn't smell it.

But everyone was used to his cold appearance, and they didn't care much.

However, Xinwei came up with pastries and placed them in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor and Empress one by one, attracting the attention of Cen Muning.

"How did the Xinmei people do these things?" Cen Mooning deliberately bit the word "beauty" heavily, she wanted Zhuang Chenchen to hear it. No matter how bad Xin Wei is, she is now a concubine with a position, so she shouldn't be driven like a slave. It's not this slave who is afraid of losing face, but her husband.

"The queen mother likes the pastries made by the concubines, so the concubines made some, and invited the queen mother and the queen to enjoy them slowly." Xinwei bowed obediently, as if she didn't want the queen to defend her.

"Why does the queen think that the Xinmei people you personally sealed can't come to serve here in the mourning family?" The Queen Mother can be regarded as grabbing Cen Muning's pigtails, and is ready to take advantage of the large number of people to take advantage of her to have a good deal with her. It's just a good time to see the emperor's thoughts.

"The queen mother misunderstood the concubine." Cen Muning smiled with a hint of pity: "It's not that Xinmei can't serve the queen mother, but a few days ago, she was knocked unconscious, tied up with a stone and thrown into the imperial lake, and almost died." The concubine thought that her body was not yet complete, after all, she was frightened, and she was afraid that she would lose her honor in front of the queen mother. ”

Speaking of this, Cen Muning got up with Bingling's hand and saluted Zhuang Chen: "Please also ask the emperor for forgiveness, the concubine is useless, he failed to find out who did it, and he failed to seek justice for Xinmei, and the concubine was incompetent." It's just that since this matter was mentioned today, the concubines had the courage to beg the emperor for permission, can they let the queen mother bother to investigate this matter thoroughly, so that the concubines can learn from the side, if there is such a bad situation in the harem again, the concubines can also follow the example, and they will never let go of a wicked person again. ”

The sharp edge of her eyes swept over the face of the Queen Mother: "Please also ask the emperor to show me." ”
