Lin Guifei's next sentence was really full of malice.

I just heard her say: "It's not difficult to say this, it's easy to say." Didn't the Ten Princes say that they chose him because Xiao Shizi was the same age as him? ”

Lin Guifei looked at Su Zhaoning meaningfully and asked, "I just don't know, is the little prince more similar in age to the tenth prince, or more similar to the eleventh prince?" ”

Lin Guifei's words almost put the suspicions of the palace people about Nan Minxing's identity on the surface.

Su Zhaoning understood, but he hadn't figured out how to respond. But a pair of eyes did not allow her too much time to consider the pros and cons.

"The Queen." Su Zhaoning, who had already been given to sit, led Nan Minxing to kneel in front of the queen, she bowed her head and said, "Minxing's birthday, the courtiers implore the mother to inform." His Majesty's decree is silent. ”

"You dare to use Your Majesty to suppress me!" Lin Guifei slapped the table and stood up.

She glared at Su Zhaoning and said, "Your Majesty's holy decree has not been written, won't Mrs. Dingyuan herself check it?" Dingyuan Marquis Xiao Shizi can say this, is it not clear about a birthday? ”

"What Your Majesty gives, the courtiers deserve to receive and only deserve." Su Zhaoning raised his head and looked at Concubine Lin.

This was the first time she had looked directly at the palace concubine.

Although the etiquette is now relaxed, the imperial authority has never changed.

But when there is no way to go back, there is no need to go back. Lin Guifei's words have already pressed the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to the crime of bullying the king, so why should Su Zhaoning endure it anymore.

She asked Lin Guifei rhetorically: "The birthday that Min Xing remembers is the eighth day of the first month of last month. He is exactly three years old this year. The concubine asked him to say it himself, he said it, do you believe it? ”

"Bold!" Lin Guifei was extremely angry, she walked up to Su Zhaoning, raised her hand and was about to hit Su Zhaoning, "You dare to question me like this!" ”

"Don't hit my mother!" Nan Minxing stretched out his hand to block in front of Su Zhaoning, and glared at Concubine Lin angrily, "You don't want me to be His Highness's companion, I just shouldn't be." Don't hit my mother! ”

"Did I tell you not to be your companion?" Lin Guifei couldn't do anything to a three-year-old child, so she could only freeze her hand in the air and hold back.

"You said you're three years old, who told you that?" Lin Guifei asked Nan Minxing.

Nan Minxing replied, "My father told me." ”

"When did your dad tell you?" Lin Guifei pressed forward step by step.

Su Zhaoning's heart also lifted. After all, if Nan Minxing is not three years old, he is four or five years old at most. A child of four or five years old, in the face of such a rapid question, can he not show his clues.

"My dad told me when he met! If you don't believe me, you can ask my father! Nan Minxing really blurted out quickly.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Guifei's mouth. Su Zhaoning first seized her daughter's love first, and then occupied her son-in-law's heart behind. If you don't put it to death, how can Lin Guifei be willing?

"Where am I going to ask your father?" Concubine Lin asked in a soft voice.

Nan Minxing replied, "It's right behind you." ”

Nan Minxing's words made Concubine Lin Guifei unconsciously think of the dead Nan Huaixin. She nervously turned her head and saw that there was nothing behind her.

Lin Guifei couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped Nan Minxing to the ground: "Dare to make fun of me!" Come on, drag them out......"

"The emperor has arrived!" The eunuch's singing harmony suddenly sounded, and everyone was busy saluting.

Even Concubine Lin couldn't hide her panic. She wanted to set a trap in the queen's palace and took the lives of Su Zhaoning's mother and son. But I didn't expect that Su Zhaoning didn't jump or say a few traps, and finally the child jumped, and the emperor came.

The emperor looked at the people in front of him and said, "I have come at the right time, and the queen's palace is very lively today." ”

"Get up." The Emperor raised his hand.

Su Zhaoning hugged Nan Minxing and stood silently to the side. She usually breaks the situation and relies on a small word. This detail is not just a day's fineness, but also the accumulation of observation in the prime day.

For the Seventh Princess, to An Yi, and to any enemy he had encountered in the past, Su Zhaoning dealt with it more than once. Even if you haven't seen it, you've heard of it.

But today, in the thick palace walls, Su Zhaoning felt powerless for the first time. She didn't know the queen's preferences, she didn't know Concubine Zhen's intentions, and she wasn't even sure whether Lin Guifei, who was now targeting her, simply hated herself, or hated the Yuanhou Mansion, or hated the four princes.

Holding Nan Minxing tightly around him is the only thing Su Zhaoning can do now.

Jun's heart is unpredictable, she just wants to take Nan Minxing out of the palace safely.

The queen had already personally gotten up to help the emperor sit down on the throne, and then said, "Your Majesty, the auspicious clothes of the eleventh prince are very outstanding. Concubine Zhen's sister asked the concubine for a reward, and the concubine decided to reward the little prince of the distant marquis to enter the palace as a companion. ”

"Now, Xiao Shi and Xiao Shi both want Xiao Shizi to be a companion." The queen completely revealed the matter of Lin Guifei, as if nothing had happened.

Lin Guifei was slightly calm, and echoed: "Isn't it, Xiao Shizi is so cute and very sought-after." ”

Concubine Zhen brought her tea cup to the emperor, and said coquettishly: "Concubine borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, please Your Majesty taste the latest Sichuan incense before the rain." ”

Lin Guifei's veil is going to be torn. A Fanbang barbarian girl is so good at being coquettish.

The queen's expression was calm, as if she hadn't seen anything.

The emperor took Concubine Zhen's tea and took a sip, but his eyes fell on Su Zhaoning: "Are you Su?" ”

"Yes." Su Zhaoning took Nan Minxing and replied again.

The emperor beckoned to Nan Minxing: "Little Shizi, come here." ”

Nan Minxing was not as enthusiastic as the queen, and stood there and refused to move.

The Son of Heaven was furious, and the blood flowed and drifted. Su Zhaoning knew that Concubine Lin's fight really scared Nan Minxing. But she still pushed the child hard, and Nan Minxing reluctantly walked over to the emperor.

The Emperor asked, "Why don't you want to come here?" ”

His gaze fell on Nan Minxing's face, and he asked, "What's the matter with the slap print on this face?" ”

Accustomed to seeing his concubines fighting, the emperor could of course see that the slap marks on Nan Minxing's face were just hit.

Nan Minxing bowed his head and was silent.

The Emperor raised his voice and asked, "I ask what is the matter with this slap print?" ”

In this sentence, there is already anger.

Concubine Lin Guifei hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "It was the concubine who hit me by mistake, please forgive your majesty." ”

"Missed?" The Emperor's tone was full of suspicion.

Lin Guifei insisted and did not let go: "Yes." The concubine was never intentional. ”

Concubine Zhen sat back in her place and glanced at all the princes in the palace.

The fifth prince raised his right foot and took half a step forward, but finally stopped.

The Sixth and Seventh Princes looked at each other, and neither of them wanted to speak first.

The rest of the princes remained silent.

Su Zhaoning's heart also mentioned his throat.

If the emperor doesn't reveal this matter, it is impossible for Lin Guifei to really be punished heavily. But as a mother, she really wants to speak willfully once.

The queen's voice sounded in the hall: "Why don't you explain to Your Majesty in person that the Marquis of Dingyuan is Lin Guifei intentional or unintentional?" ”

The queen's last sentence brought three points of upward tone. At first glance, it sounds like a simple threat.

The queen is on Lin Guifei's side and wants to expose the matter.

Concubine Zhen, who had repeatedly spoken out to help Su Zhaoning before, did not speak out this time.

The fifth prince finally took a step and said to the emperor: "Only Mrs. Dingyuan and Xiao Shizi stood closest with the concubine, and the emperors didn't see it clearly. ”

The implication is that Su Zhaoning also wants to explain.

But if the words of the fifth prince were carefully scrutinized, they might not have the meaning of encouraging Su Zhaoning to speak.

Su Zhaoning had just entered the palace and didn't know about some rumors in the palace. But the rest of the people present knew that the mother of the five princes, Concubine Xian, was Concubine Lin before her death, and Concubine Lin was a mortal enemy. Even the death of Concubine Xian, after Concubine Lin ascended the throne, there were still some private rumors.

Of course, these rumors are not allowed to be circulated. But the fifth prince, who is the son of Concubine Xian, may not have heard of it.

The emperor looked at Nan Minxing in front of him, then moved his gaze from Nan Minxing to Su Zhaoning, and asked, "Su, have you ever had a grudge?" ”

This sentence made Su Zhaoning wake up.

She shouldn't have been silent. Lin Guifei beat Nan Minxing to the point that half of her face was swollen, as a mother, and when she was so helpless, the most normal reaction was to simply go out and sue the emperor.

Su Zhaoning didn't want to sue, if Nan Minxing was not the son of the fourth prince, she would have already stood up today.

Although she didn't understand why the fourth prince wanted to hide Nan Minxing's true identity, Su Zhaoning had a gut feeling that she would not let the people in the palace find out Nan Minxing's identity.

Kneeling down again, Su Zhaoning bowed his head and replied, "The courtiers don't dare." ”

The emperor heard the implication and asked rhetorically: "Don't you dare to mean that you have a grudge?" ”

"The courtiers have received the grace of His Majesty twice, and the whole family is good. The courtiers only dare to be grateful, and do not dare to complain. Su Zhaoning didn't look up and continued to answer.

Since you have done something wrong, you can only continue to make mistakes. Su Zhaoning made no secret of his jealousy mentality.

When she said this, the queen was slightly discolored.

Su is so bold!

"What a double grace!" The emperor was really enraged, he stood up, paced in front of Su Zhaoning, and asked, "I give you a son, and you will complain about me." If this son still has a mother, will you not hate me? ”

"The courtiers don't hate Your Majesty, and the courtiers don't hate the marquis. The courtiers just hated themselves. The courtiers hated themselves for spending seventeen years in vain, and they still can't let go. Su Zhaoning replied.

Hearing Su Zhaoning say this, Lin Guifei felt very happy in her heart. According to her understanding of the emperor, such a person who provokes the monarch's authority is enough to be destroyed by the raid of his house.

Lin Guifei believed that if she didn't have to make a move, Su Zhaoning would have already killed herself.

But Concubine Zhen doesn't think so.

She looked at the emperor standing in front of Su Zhaoning. The emperor stood with his hands in his hands, looking at Su Zhaoning condescendingly.

Concubine Lin has been in the palace for a longer time than her Concubine Zhen, but Concubine Zhen has been very favored since she entered the palace.

It can be said that in the eyes of Lin Guifei, she is still the young and vigorous emperor in her memory. In the eyes of Concubine Zhen, it is the real one in front of her.

It has been more than ten years since he ascended the throne, the imperial power is in his hands, and his children are in groups. The emperor's joy and anger have long been very different from when he was young and frivolous.
