Chapter 20: Fighting Back
"You have to meet Your Highness before you can do it." There was a faint smile on Cen Muning's face. Sometimes things must be reversed, and fear is extreme, but it is natural to adapt.
"What does the princess mean ......" Qingli was a little confused.
"Concubine Zhen gave such a precious golden hairpin, but it was damaged by my recklessness, and I inevitably felt guilty." Cen Muning looked at the hairpin in her hand and smiled: "Let's go, let's go." ”
Along the way, Qingli was worried, Ruiming Palace's mansion was full of secret protection, but he was afraid that the princess would be attacked by poisonous snakes and spread to the ears of his master. What she was struggling with was whether to let the princess know in advance......
"Say hello to the princess." Yin Li frowned: "Is there something wrong with the princess?" ”
"Is Your Highness here?" Cen Muning's eyes were gentle, and his voice was very gentle, not showing that he was frightened at all.
"Princess, please." Yin Wei thought, didn't she come to sue? If so, it would be self-defeating.
In the inner room, Zhuang Chenchen sipped tea and watched her come in without saying a word.
"Greetings to Your Highness." Cen Muning walked in alone, her face was slightly bad: "The concubine was reckless, and she was attacked by a poisonous snake and broke the golden hairpin given by Concubine Zhen, and she felt very guilty. I came to confess to His Highness. ”
Zhuang Yanchen frowned slightly, but did not make a sound.
"Your Highness, rest assured, the concubine will try to restore the original appearance of the golden hairpin. I just thought that the queen mother and the concubine treated the concubine very well, and I wanted to ask His Royal Highness for permission, so that the concubine could send the generous gifts prepared into the palace and talk about her heart. ”
"Hmm." Zhuang Chenchen snorted lightly, which was regarded as a promise.
"Don't delay His Royal Highness's tea, and the concubine will retire." Cen Mu Ning smiled lightly and retreated gently.
The amethyst curtain hung down, and Zhuang Chenchen reacted, she is leaving?
"Your Royal Highness, the princess asked her subordinates to take the generous gifts she prepared and present them to the ......"
"Go ahead." Zhuang Chenchen waved his hand.
"Yes." Yin Li was surprised, when did His Royal Highness become so happy with the princess? It's so easy to get what you need!
Qingli personally divided the gift into two parts, according to the preferences of the Queen Mother and the Concubine.
During this period, Cen Muning didn't do anything at all, just watched quietly from the side, snickering secretly.
As she expected, before dinner, Zhuang Chenchen walked in with a cold face.
"Master." Qingli stepped forward and saluted upright.
"You're guts!" Zhuang Chenchen's voice was full of resentment: "Dare to send anything to the Concubine Palace!" ”
Cen Mu Ning saluted, looked at him thoughtfully, and said puzzledly: "Is it that the queen mother and the concubine don't like the gifts prepared by the concubine?" The concubine reprepared and sent her to the palace in person on a certain day, so that she could ask for her guilt in person. ”
"Hmph." Zhuang Chen's face was cold, and he walked up to him and asked coldly, "Don't you tell the truth?" ”
Seeing this, Qingli was really startled, and hurriedly explained: "The master forgives the sin, it was the slave who helped the princess choose the gift, and I didn't expect the queen mother and the concubine to dislike it." ”
"Get out of the way." Zhuang Chenchen thought that Qingli was in the way, and his eyes poked straight at Cen Muning. "What good did you put on that satin? When spring came, bees were introduced. ”
Cen Muning's eyes flashed with tears, she shook her head again and again, and knelt down as soon as her body became weak: "The concubine doesn't know, I still hope that His Highness will make it clear." ”
Zhuang Chenchen pinched her jaw and made her raise her head to look into her eyes: "If you don't say anything, I'll peel your skin." ”
"I really don't know about the concubine." Cen Mooning sniffed, aggrieved: "That material is the dowry of the concubine, and it is also selected by Qingli according to the preferences of the queen mother and the concubine." If it attracts bees, I am afraid that there is another reason. It has nothing to do with concubines. ”
The silver knife between her fingers was attached to her face flushed with anxiety, and Zhuang Chen's tone was not good: "This king hates poisonous women full of treachery the most, do you think you can hide it?" ”
