Shen Qingru didn't want to go, there were also a lot of rare flowers and plants in Prince Xiao's mansion, how could he be at ease with these few people.

It's just that Ding Zhaoyi tried his best to invite, and Shen Qingru also wanted to see what kind of calculation he was playing.

When a few people arrived at the Imperial Garden, it was the season when the flowers were beginning to bloom, and the flowers were full of flowers, which was both festive and beautiful.

Shen Qingru's mood also improved.

Concubine Gong took Xiao Qianxue in front, Ding Zhaoyi and Xu Guiren, one left and one right, sandwiched Shen Qingru in the middle, and introduced all kinds of flowers to her very enthusiastically.

The topic unconsciously turned to Shen Qingru.

Ding Zhaoyi: "I've seen Ling'er's kid a few times, and he's very well-behaved." It's really not like it can poison people, is the princess mistaken? ”

Shen Qingru said lightly: "The matter was investigated by the prince and the prince, if Ding Zhaoyi has any doubts, I will help you ask the prince when you go back." ”

The corners of Ding Zhaoyi's eyes twitched, and he sneered: "I said it casually." ”

Prince Xiao was even stunned when her father saw her, let alone her.

Xu Guidao: "I heard that the concubine Qin in the palace is very knowledgeable, graceful and moving, and she is even more in love with the prince, isn't the princess jealous at all?" ”

Shen Qingru looked virtuous: "Concubine Qin is respectful and courteous, the prince can be such a confidant, I am sincerely happy for him." ”

also said kindly: "One of the seven out of women is 'jealousy', Xu Guiren is in the harem, and he should know how to live in harmony with others, so don't say this kind of thing." The Holy One will not like a woman who is too jealous. ”

Xu Guiren had a constipated expression on his face, and said with a forced smile: "What the princess said is that I said the wrong thing for a while. ”

glanced at Ding Zhaoyi, a little annoyed.

This Concubine Xiao Shi doesn't eat oil and salt, and I don't know if she is really generous or pretending to be stupid.

If this continues, how can the task given to them by the palace concubine be completed?

Ding Zhaoyi gave Xu Guiren a look, and while talking to Shen Qingru, the two led her to the southwest.

Shen Qingru had already discovered the intentions of the two, so he only pretended not to know and walked over cooperatively.

The flowers in the southwest are the most beautiful and beautiful. Shen Qingru doesn't know flowers, but he also knows that they must be very valuable.

Ding Zhaoyi pointed to one of the pots of ink chrysanthemums and said: "This is the favorite of the concubine, and the entire imperial garden is the most beautiful in it." ”

Shen Qingru has always maintained a certain distance, this ink chrysanthemum is like silk, the color is like ink, gorgeous and charming, it is indeed very suitable for Gong Jin.

There was also a pot of inconspicuous orchids on the side of Mo Ju, which was swaying in the wind, and Shen Qingru silently moved two steps away.

Ding Zhaoyi saw Shen Qingru's movements out of the corner of his eye, and he was even more annoyed. simply didn't do anything, pretended to be unstable, and fell over to Shen Qingru's body.

Shen Qingru was guarding against it, and with a slight and clever jump, Ding Zhaoyi fell on Xu Guiren's body.

Xu Guiren's hand was touching the orchid, and when he was hit like this, with a "bang", the orchid fell to the ground, the flower pot fell to pieces, and the flower branch was broken.

Shen Qingru exclaimed: "Ah, Ding Zhaoyi, Xu Guiren, why did you smash the flowers so carelessly?" ”

Shen Qingru is a little pity, such a good flower.

Ding Zhaoyi almost vomited blood, but when she saw the broken flower pot, she was a little scared in her heart, this flower was ......

Xu Guiren's hand was also scratched by fragments and stained with mud, but he couldn't care about it at this time, and only hurriedly wanted to save the flower.

If the roots of the flowers are broken, how can they live?

Shen Qingru watched coldly.

Gong Jin and Xiao Qianxue, who had disappeared halfway, suddenly arrived.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Qianxue scolded: "This pot of Spring Sword Emperor Orchid, but my father took great pains to find it and dedicated it to the imperial grandmother, Concubine Xiao Shi, you actually smashed it, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

Ding Zhaoyi didn't dare to speak. Shen Qingru raised his eyes, a pair of clear eyes, and looked straight at Xiao Qianxue.

Xiao Qianxue was inexplicably flustered and was about to reprimand, Shen Qingru said lightly: "When did Princess Qianxue see it, I smashed the flowers?" If you let me confess your guilt without understanding the situation, is it possible that you want to be beaten into a trick? ”

Xiao Qianxue was furious, "Who hit you?" ”

Shen Qingru smiled coldly, straightened his waist, the previous easy-going and indifferent, became tough and firm, and said loudly: "My Prince Xiao's mansion is beautiful and beautiful, how can I let others slander at will." As the princess of the palace and the princess of the county appointed by the emperor, I think I am acting upright. As soon as Snow Princess came, she decided that I had smashed the flower pot, and she was about to condemn me. Not to mention that the princess doesn't have this right, just what she says and says, she can't help but take me, the princess of the county, too seriously. Besides, Prince Xiao's Mansion is above board, if the princess insists on believing that I did it, and let me suffer injustice, it is no different from beating me to death. ”

Shen Qingru said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring.

Not to mention Xiao Qianxue, even Gong Jin was bluffed.

If the daughters-in-law of Prince Xiao's Mansion really died because of them, I am afraid that the emperor would not be able to protect them.

Xiao Qianxue was stunned, she seemed to have just said a word, why did she get to the point of dying or living?

At this time, a voice suddenly said, "That's good." ”

The crowd woke up.

Seeing the person coming, he knelt down again, "I've seen the Queen Mother and the Queen." ”

Shen Qingru was about to kneel after him, but he was held by a pair of hands. "The princess is exempt."

Shen Qingru raised her head, and the queen was looking at her gently. Look at her gaze with a bit of appreciation.

Queen Lan Xianyin, the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Lan. At the beginning, the emperor wanted to establish Gong Jin as the queen, but the queen mother resolutely disagreed, and finally chose Lan Xianyin as the queen. It has been more than ten years since he entered the palace, and he has not been favored by the emperor, and there is only one daughter under his knees. The fourth princess Xiao Qianye.

The Lan family has always been good friends with Prince Xiao's mansion. The Blue Queen and the princess were friends when they were in the boudoir, and their experiences were very similar. It's all pitying.

In terms of appearance, Gong Jin is slightly better. The queen's crescent eyebrows are bent, her demeanor is gentle, and her bearing is more elegant. It is somewhat similar to the temperament of the princess. It's just that the princess is colder.

Shen Qingru couldn't help but feel close. also returned a shallow smile.

The Queen Mother also said appreciatively: "What you said just now is very good. ”

Shen Qingru blushed a little, "Empress Dowager Xie praised, the concubine was just in a hurry, if she said the wrong thing, I still hope that Princess Qianxue, the palace concubine should not take it to heart." ”

Shen Qingru didn't know much about the Queen Mother, only knew that she was born in the Ningguo Mansion and gave birth to two sons, the emperor and the old prince.

I heard Xiao Yuan say that the Queen Mother is very good, amiable, and loves her grandchildren very much. And the queen mother doesn't like the palace family very much, hates Gong Jin, because of Gong Jin, and even had an awkward relationship with the emperor.

The emperor, who has always been filial, also confronted the queen mother several times for the sake of Gong Jin, resulting in a somewhat stiff relationship between the mother and son.

When he knew this, Shen Qingru only felt that it was really red. To some extent, the emperor can be regarded as affectionate.

In front of the Queen Mother, Xiao Qianxue lost her domineering arrogance, and stood beside Gong Jin without speaking.

Although there are some contradictions between the emperor and the queen mother, the emperor still respects the queen mother very much in his heart.

In the past, Xiao Qianxue was grounded for several months because of her disrespect to the Queen Mother, and Gong Jin's pleas many times were useless. Since then, Xiao Qianxue has learned to be obedient.

Empress Dowager Ning glanced at Gong Jin's mother and daughter, and said, "What's going on?" ”

Xiao Qianxue pouted and didn't speak.

Ding Zhaoyi and Xu Guiren, who had already stood up, heard the question, and knelt down with a "poof" sound.

Empress Dowager Ning frowned, and the palace concubine said: "The first time Concubine Xiao entered the palace, the concubine took her to enjoy the flowers, and she was separated halfway. Hearing that there was movement here, come over and take a look, the Spring Sword Emperor Orchid that the emperor was going to give you was actually shattered. Xue'er thought that the princess was careless for a while, and in a hurry, she said a few words about the princess, but she didn't expect the princess to be a fierce person, but she bullied her like us. ”

Empress Dowager Ning glanced at the Spring Sword Emperor Lan, who was already hopeless, and asked Shen Qingru in a soft voice: "Concubine Shizi, did you break it?" ”

Shen Qingru shook his head, knelt down and said, "Please Empress Dowager Mingjian, and give the concubine a fair treat." ”

Queen Lan hurriedly helped Shen Qingru up, and Empress Dowager Ning said: "Don't kneel down without moving, when you see the mourning family and the queen in the future, you will be exempted from kneeling." You are the granddaughter-in-law of the mourning family, and no one can bully you. ”

Turning his head to Ding Zhaoyi and Xu Guiren, he said sharply: "Say, what's going on?" ”

Xu Guiren had already lost his soul by being frightened. Ding Zhaoyi is better, after all, she didn't break it.

tremblingly said: "It's Xu Guiren, it's Xu Guiren who broke it." The concubine accidentally fell, and it was originally towards the princess of the Xiao family. As a result, the princess dodged for a while, and the concubine rushed towards Xu Guiren. Xu Guiren stood on the edge of the Spring Sword Emperor Orchid and was touched to the ground. ”

Ding Zhaoyi wanted to say that if Shen Qingru hadn't hidden, it would have been fine.

I didn't know that the Queen Mother didn't mention it at all, but said: "You two are careless, don't say anything about the flowers, and you still scare my granddaughter-in-law, and she is wronged." Each was demoted three levels and grounded for one year. ”

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, the two of them collapsed and fell to the ground.

Ding Zhaoyi is better, she has been lowered by three levels, and she is still a glory. Xu Guiren was miserable, and after the third level, it was a small promise. The last existence in the harem is only a little better than the palace maid.

What's more important is that the emperor remembers who you are after a year of confinement?

Ding Zhaoyi didn't dare to imagine that Gong Jin was her last straw, and begged bitterly: "Ask the Queen Mother for forgiveness." Guifei Niangniang, please help the concubine talk. ”

Xu Guiren knelt down and walked a few steps, wanting to touch the hem of Gong Jin's clothes.

was kicked away by Lu Ying, and helped Gong Jin to walk away two steps.

Gong Jincai said lightly: "Since the Queen Mother has been punished, you should accept the punishment well." Don't be so reckless in the future. When the Queen Mother is gone, maybe you can restore your position. ”

The latter words are not only to warn them not to talk nonsense, but also to give them a little thought. Rabbits bite when they're in a hurry.

Gong Jin didn't want to make a fuss because of these two inconsequential people.

Although Ding Zhaoyi and Xu Guiren knew that Gong Jin's words were mostly perfunctory, they didn't dare to say anything more, and they were pulled down crying and crying.

Empress Dowager Ning didn't even look at it, touched Shen Qingru's hand, and said, "It's rare to enter the palace once, go to the mourning house to sit." ”
