Chapter 12: Another Defeat

"Say it quickly." The prince said eagerly.

"The minion has inquired, is it ...... Be...... He went in in less than four moments, and came out in a few moments. That's right...... It was when we were in the General's Palace. ”

The prince nodded: "The news that the arrangement has been spread has been withdrawn?" ”

"The minions have told them not to pass it on again. But...... Some people still hear it, right? Zhang Fuhai said.

The prince's face was gloomy: "Get down, it's really a bunch of rice buckets!" ”

"Yes, yes...... Minions, get out of ......" Zhang Fuhai hurriedly responded, and crawled out.

was actually put on the spot by Rong Yunxi again, just a little woman, why is it so difficult to get it?

"Zhang Fuhai, get back!" Suddenly, he raised his voice and stopped Zhang Fuhai, who had "rolled" into the yard.

"Yes!" Zhang Fuhai immediately ran back.

"You go, bring a few henchmen and keep an eye on them. Once someone talks about the matter of this palace and Miss Rong, immediately settle it with this palace, and never let them pass it on again, understand? The prince commanded.

"Yes, yes......" Zhang Fuhai replied again and retreated.

Although the crown prince closed his power in a relatively timely manner, how could the news that spread out be said to be withdrawn, and all of them were immediately withdrawn?

There are so many people in the bazaar, and the country is open-minded, and the speech of the people will not be strictly controlled, and it is common for the people to talk about the current situation and the princes and princesses. So much so that the news still spread after two or three days.

Early in the morning, news came from the palace, saying that the imperial concubine invited the young lady into the palace for an audience.

Rong Yunxi was not surprised when she heard that it was King Chen's biological mother, Emperor Shen, and the concubine. When I heard the rumors released by the prince, I knew that there would be today's events.

Even if this news is not unbridled, but the affairs of the world, especially the affairs in the capital, as long as the people in the palace are willing to pay attention, they can easily grasp it clearly.

Rong Yunxi changed into a pale pink Luo skirt, brought some hand-made snacks that she had prepared yesterday, and entered the palace with early summer.

"Miss is really beautiful in this pale pink", in the carriage, Chu Xia smiled, "It seems that Miss is gentle!" ”

"You girl knows how to coax me." Rong Yunxi smiled.

It is estimated that the imperial concubine will also like it. Imperial Concubine Shen Yaomin, the daughter of Master Taifu Shen, is knowledgeable, gentle and dignified, she will like a gentle daughter-in-law.

Before Rong Yunxi's carriage, there was already a gorgeous carriage parked at the Beigong Gate.

But the groom did not wait here, but was ordered by his master to drive the carriage back to his house.

King Chen went all the way to the concubine's Yilan Palace, saw the concubine, and said, "The retainer came to greet the concubine." ”

The imperial concubine was sitting at the small table in the back room embroidering, and when she heard the voice, she hurriedly put down the embroidery in her hand.

She had just celebrated her fortieth birthday last year, but she was still beautiful, and she looked like a beautiful woman in her early thirties.

The years have not carved footprints on this beautiful face, but the ups and downs of more than 20 years in the palace have all accumulated on the general bearing. It has been condensed into a gentle, calm, and unfazed bearing. With a smile and a smile, there is a unique delicate demeanor of a beautiful woman in the palace. It is some young concubines in the palace who are in their youth, and when they see her face and charm, they can only sigh with joy.

In the palace, she was not shocked, calm and leisurely, but in front of her son, it was not revealed. Instead, he walked briskly out of the back room, a smile already on his cheeks. She picked up her son and said lovingly, "How often do you come over, you child?" is happy outside, I'm afraid I'm going to forget about my mother, right? ”

"Where?" King Chen said with a smile, "Erchen remembers his mother every day, but he is afraid of disturbing the purity of his mother, so he doesn't come to the palace." And the son is already an adult prince, so it is not appropriate to always run to his father's harem. ”

What King Chen said was not to make his mother happy, but to really worry about it. He knew that his mother missed him, and he naturally missed his mother too. It's just that the palace rules are strict, and there are so many people in the palace. He can't always be by his mother's side, so he naturally has to be careful and don't cause trouble to his mother. lest he be outside the palace and cannot be saved.

The imperial concubine smiled: "It's this Li'er...... Come, try the newly made dim sum in the palace of the concubine. ”

"The mother concubine passed your future daughter-in-law into the palace today, right?" King Chen asked as he followed his mother.

"You know that, too?" The imperial concubine said, "Why are you so well-informed?" It happened early in the morning. ”

"It's just a coincidence", King Chen took the snack and said, "Originally, Erchen wanted to make an appointment to meet Miss Rong's family, so he sent a little servant to pass it on." Xiaojun was very clever, and as soon as he went out, he saw a eunuch with a decree going to the general's mansion, and Erchen only knew. ”

When the imperial concubine heard this, she felt that her son didn't care about the affairs of the prince and the Rong family, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "Chen'er, the concubine knows that there is never a shortage of beautiful women around you. It's not a big fault, it's just a matter of moderation. But you must not care about the name of your concubine because there are many women around you. You can dislike her, but you can't let that make you condone her unchastity, you know? ”

"Is the mother concubine talking about the recent folk rumors?" King Chen said, "How can that be true?" Just when the prince was visiting the general's mansion, Erchen also saw Miss Rong in the market. ”

"Oh?" The imperial concubine was a little surprised. But just a thought flashed through me, and it became clear.

"That's fine," the imperial concubine said, "It's just that the original concubine also wanted to meet this daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door." ”

"Mother Concubine", King Chen suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't you come and test her, just pretend that you don't know the truth, and see how she can deal with it?" Doesn't it mean that Miss Rong is the first talented woman in Kyoto, doesn't the mother concubine want to see if she is in vain? ”

While he was talking, the daughter of the palace at the door said, "Niangniang, Miss Rong has arrived." ”

"The concubine asked, and the son-in-law went to wait behind the screen in the back room." King Chen.

The imperial concubine shook her head and smiled, and also felt that her son's words made sense. Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman, if she is really a smart and clever woman, she will not be wrong in her etiquette duties.

Rong Yunxi asked Chu Xia to wait at the door, and carried the food box into the house. The imperial concubine sat on the main seat, Rong Yunxi did not look up, and always hung her head slightly.

"Courtier Rong, meet Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an......" Rong Yunxi put the food box on the ground and respectfully made a big salute.

The imperial concubine is very satisfied with Rong Yunxi's words and deeds from the moment she entered the door to the present. But there was no expression on his face, and after a while, a flat voice came out: "Get up." ”

"Xie Niangniang." Rong Yunxi got up with the food box.

"What are you holding in your hand?" The imperial concubine asked, her voice a little lazy.
