The saint first sent down an oracle and reprimanded the eldest princess, and then the eldest princess automatically asked for her life and thought about it behind closed doors. Then, Guo Zhun personally came forward to return the occupied fields and shops, paid the silver for the wounded, and sent the murderous slaves to Shengjing Mansion to be disposed of.

Of course, those who should shout grievances still have to shout grievances, the so-called private collection of ordnance is just that the attached horse master bought a few more swords, and most of the noble relatives are martial, which is really nothing.

It wasn't until mid-April that the Eldest Princess's Mansion sent a beating steward to Shengjing Mansion for punishment, and the impeachment tide gradually subsided.

One evening before the summer solstice, when the burning clouds spread in the sky, several eunuchs wearing royal blue palace clothes suddenly came to the Guogong Mansion.

The leading eunuch pinched his voice and read out a decree of the Empress Dowager: The three girls of the Empress Dowager Xiao's Xuanguo Mansion entered the palace, and the time was set at the right time the next day.

Neither announced that the elders would accompany each other, nor would the servants be allowed to escort them, and they should not be mistaken.

Listening to the eunuch's protracted voice, Chen Ying knew that he was still here when he was supposed to come.

Mrs. Xu and Xu personally received the message, and personally sent the big eunuch away, and handed a thick red envelope when leaving.

After sending them away, Mrs. Xu left Xu and Chen Ying in Mingyuan Hall, and the three of them discussed countermeasures.

"How long has it been, why is it coming up again at this time?" After sitting down, Xu's head opened his mouth, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he looked troubled.

However, she was actually relaxed in her heart.

That's a great result.

Empress Dowager Xiao summoned Chen Ying into the palace alone, saying that her old man didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but just wanted to vent Chen Ying's anger, and it would not affect the Guogong Mansion.

As long as the second room is compensated afterwards, this matter will pass, and the Guogong Mansion will be unscathed, isn't this a good thing?

Thinking like this, Xu's heart became more and more stable, and after thinking about it, he would assign the ten acres of paddy fields in the suburbs of Beijing to the name of the second room, which not only treated the second room well, but also avoided the Shen family's total worry.

"Your Majesty is a filial son, and the eldest princess also helped a lot in the matter of King An's army." Old Madam Xu's slow voice sounded, not to answer Xu's question, but to clarify the root cause of today's situation.

Emperor Yuanjia ascended the throne for fifteen years, and the first ten years can be described as difficult. And under the turbulent situation, Empress Dowager Xiao and the eldest princess have always stood firmly behind him, and the emperor's connivance with them is not without reason.

"Although it is not the same as it was now, Your Majesty can't ignore those feelings." Old Madam Xu added again.

Chen Ying knew that these words were all for herself.

It's not that the Guogong Mansion is unwilling to deal with it, but the emperor's heart is biased towards the eldest princess, and the Guogong Mansion can't do anything.

There was silence in the room for a while, and it was still Xu Shi who spoke: "The three girls entered the palace alone, is it in order?" ”

The clouds fell with a red light, shining on her face, half bright and half obscure, with a sense of unreal vanity, as if a relief of a beauty appeared out of thin air.

Old Madam Xu slowly rested her hand on the table, and her voice was equally slow: "A foreign woman who has no job is not allowed to enter the palace without a call." Now that there is the message of the Queen Mother, this is the calling. If there is a calling, then it is in order. ”

Xu frowned and thought for a while, then proposed, "Otherwise, I'll hand the sign to the palace now." I didn't ask to see the Queen Mother, I only said that I wanted to say goodbye to the Queen Mother. As long as the queen mother responds, I can accompany the three girls into the palace tomorrow, so as not to make her alone. ”

"I'm afraid it's not right." Old Madam Xu sighed slightly, and her tone was a little weak: "Even if your idea is good, the Queen Mother has made up her mind to summon the three girls alone, and she must have left her hands behind." Even if you hand over the sign, the palace will not reply immediately. ”

The unfinished meaning of the words is that the more anxious the people of the Guogong Mansion are to enter the palace, the more the Queen Mother will be displeased, and correspondingly, Chen Ying's life will be even more difficult tomorrow.

Xu Shi also understood this truth, so he stopped talking.

After all, she has done her best, and no matter how much she can't do.

Old Madam Xu also stopped speaking at this time, and only looked at Chen Ying.

The old man has a pair of uplifted phoenix eyes, and his eyebrows are long into the sideburns. When I was young, this appearance should be charming and moving, but when I am old this year, I don't have the hope and affection in my eyes.

"Three girls, do you regret it now?" She asked Chen Yingdao, her eyes slightly closed.

Xu's hand holding the handkerchief tightened, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

The fundamental reason why Chen Ying is where she is today is still in Chen Lu. Old Madam Xu asked Chen Ying if she regretted it at this time, and Xu felt that her face was a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't say anything.

Chen Ying got up and said calmly: "My granddaughter doesn't regret it. ”

Old Madam Xu's eyes opened, and a satisfied smile bloomed on her thin face.

Family supremacy, this is the truth that every woman from a big family should understand, Chen Ying can have this awareness, as a grandmother, she is naturally happy.

Chen Ying certainly knew what she thought.

Unfortunately, they don't think the same way.

"If there is a mistake, it must be corrected, if there is a wrong, it will be snowed, and if there is a crime, it will be revealed. This is the code that the granddaughter has set for herself. Whatever is done according to this standard, the granddaughter will not regret it. Chen Ying continued, her voice still very calm.

Xu lowered his head, so as to hide the surprise in his eyes, and the smile on Old Madam Xu's face quickly faded.

What Chen Ying said and what Mrs. Xu thought were fundamentally at odds with each other.

Did she not understand the meaning of her elders, or was she stubborn to the extent of ignoring the family at all?

"This trip will have to leave sooner or later, and my granddaughter can only guarantee that she will try not to go wrong." Chen Ying said again, turning the topic to the upcoming trip to the palace.

Old Madam Xu's eyes closed again.

She knew that this granddaughter was not right with her from the bottom of her bones.

If you change to another girl, scold, punish and punish, and then close up for a while, you can always turn your temperament around. But this third girl obviously won't succumb to such an arrangement, and she doesn't need to try to know.

This child's eyes are so uncomfortable, so firm, so sober, without a trace of confusion.

She knows exactly what she's doing. Every word she says must be the conclusion of careful consideration. This kind of punishment for petty fights will not help, and it may even be bad.

Why did the Chen family give birth to such a maverick strange child?

Old Madam Xu's eyelids moved, and she exhaled a breath of turbid air silently.

"It doesn't matter if something goes wrong." After a long time, she finally opened her mouth and slowly opened her eyes.
