Chapter 261: Detention in the palace to explain the reason
Hua Zhen understood this thoroughly, and when it came to it, it was still for Qin Huai's sake.
She didn't agree with Qin Huai's family business, so the Queen Mother wanted to use her family affairs to force her to comply.
Hua Zhen didn't say anything when she heard this, but just knelt on the ground respectfully, bowing her head and saying nothing.
The more she was like this, the more angry the Queen Mother felt in her heart, thinking that Qin Huai had never disobeyed her will, and now for her to disobey her own will several times, there was a sullen breath in her heart that made her heart ache.
It strengthened his determination: "This matter will be done accordingly, okay, since the emperor let you enter the palace to accompany the mourning family, and someone has already cleaned it up, you still live in Changning Palace, think about it in the palace these days, and when you think clearly, you will come back to talk to the mourning family." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for Hua Zhen to go out.
Hua Zhen saw the Queen Mother like this, and she was even more puzzled.
If she was really asked to enter the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, then she should not have been sent to Changning Palace as soon as she entered the palace.
Looking at the appearance of the Queen Mother now, it seems that she doesn't want to see her, even if this is the case, how can the emperor make the next holy decree.
There's still something that can't be done.
I was thinking about it in my heart, but there was a silent response on my face, and I followed the palace maid of Cining Palace and walked towards Changning Palace.
Caihe was still in Changning Palace, and he had already gotten the news that Hua Zhen was going to come over, so he took the eunuchs of the palace and the palace to kneel on the ground and wait, and saw Hua Zhen come in very respectfully, so he accompanied Hua Zhen into the dormitory.
As soon as she entered Changning Palace, Hua Zhen remembered that Mama Cao was bitten to death by a silver snake here, and her heart sank slightly.
Caihe has always been accustomed to looking at his face, so he immediately poured tea for Hua Zhen and said softly: "The things in the county lord's dormitory should be changed by people when the slave maid gets the news, this is the palace after all, if the county lord has anything he doesn't like to look at uncomfortable, he has to endure it, otherwise it will only cause trouble." ”
Hua Zhen took the teacup when she heard this, and nodded: "Thank you, Sister Caihe, for reminding me." ”
"The slave maid went to see if there was anything else to eat in the kitchen, and found some for the county lord, and put on a cushion first, and when he saw the time, there was still some time before the imperial dining room passed the food. Caihe smiled and blessed her body, and Hua Zhen nodded.
But I began to wonder what was going on.
was confused, and heard the little palace maid at the door come in and report: "Lord Qiqi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is visiting, and he is now waiting outside." ”
Hua Zhen couldn't help but be stunned, and then thought that the current prince was no longer the prince who was snubbed when he first entered the palace.
Since Zhao Ting's fall, the crown prince has been on the rise and has become the emperor's favorite son, and this walking in the palace is naturally not as careful as before.
Presumably, he got the news that he had entered the palace, so he rushed over directly.
He nodded immediately: "Quickly invite the prince in." ”
The little palace maid turned around at this time, Hua Zhen stood up, and saw the prince coming in from outside with a smile.
Looking a little happy, seeing Hua Zhen smiled and said: "Zhen'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, I still wanted to go to the county lord's mansion to see you, but I didn't think that my father ordered you to be taken to the palace, so I rushed over to see, what are you not used to." If you need anything, just tell your cousin, don't be polite. ”
Hua Zhen was blessed when she heard this, and respectfully invited the prince to take a seat, and then said with a smile: "Thank you for the prince's concern, Zhen'er is not used to it, everything is fine." ”
"Yes, you often live in this Changning Palace when you urinate, both the father and the queen mother have specially explained, the things in this Changning Palace have not to change, even the people who serve are still the old people who are still living in the mother, you really have nothing to get used to, I am too careful. As if he was thinking of Empress Renxiao, his eyes were a little gloomy.
For a while, Hua Zhen couldn't answer, just stood quietly aside.
After a while, the prince realized this, and immediately said with a smile: "I thought of the queen mother for a while, and I was a little out of shape, which made Zhen'er smile." ”
"The prince entered the palace today to greet the queen mother?"
Hearing this, the prince immediately smiled: "I heard the news of your entry into the palace, and I came to see you." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the palace maid who was waiting in Changning Palace, and her eyes were a little vague.
Hua Zhen immediately understood and ordered everyone to go down, leaving Caihe to wait.
Only then did the prince speak: "I heard that my father suddenly gave a message, and someone said in front of my father that you have a deep relationship with the prince of Yanbei, and some people even said that they had seen the prince of Yanbei go to the county lord's mansion." Now my father is having a headache about the marriage with Yanbei, and I heard that Miss Xiao also went to the county lord's mansion to provoke, so I had to summon you into the palace, I am afraid that if these rumors are true, it will not be easy to do. ”
Hearing this, Hua Zhen's heart sank suddenly, although Xiao Huaijin often went in and out of the county lord's mansion, most of them were in the county lord's mansion, and even the guards guarding outside did not know, and no one would know about it at all.
Only the two times Xiao Lingjun came to the door were seen, but how could the emperor know and detain himself in the palace for this reason.
Seeing Hua Zhen's frowns, the prince comforted softly: "Zhen'er, you don't have to think too much about this matter, maybe there is any misunderstanding in the middle, after tomorrow's banquet, after the father and emperor give Yanbei a marriage, this will naturally not detain you anymore, fortunately, you are also familiar with this Changning Palace, so you should enter the palace to relax and live for two days." ”
After a pause, he looked at Hua Zhen's eyes and became even hotter: "And I plan to ask my father for marriage." ”
Hearing this, Hua Zhen was stunned and looked at the prince: "The emperor just gave the prince a marriage to Jiang Huanting some time ago, and in a few days, Miss Jiang will be staying in the East Palace, shouldn't the prince be thinking about how to welcome Miss Jiang at this time?"
The look in Wen Yan's eyes changed, and then he looked at Hua Zhen, with a look in his eyes with a bit of undoubted firmness: "You know my thoughts, it is my father's intention to marry Jiang Huanting, not my intention, you have always been the only one in my heart, the future queen, and only you have this qualification." ”
It seems that he is sincere in his words.
Hua Zhen looked at the prince like this, but through his eyes, she saw the calculation behind it.
He smiled slightly, and said softly: "What the prince has in his heart is just power, the reason why the prince has this idea is just to hold the Ning family firmly in the palm of his hand, all because His Royal Highness the prince does not dare to gamble, dare not bet that if you and I are divided, whose side will Ning's grandfather stand on, and who the two cousins of the Ning family will be, so he wants to marry me." What sincerity is just a cover to deceive me. ”
Seeing that the prince's mind was pierced, and the look on his face became worse and worse, Hua Zhen laughed: "If this is the case, His Royal Highness the prince really doesn't need to be like this, there is no need to say those words in front of me, you should know that you can't deceive me." ”
Hua Zhen said, her voice revealing a little coldness.
Caihe on the side was suddenly so frightened that his heart rose to his throat, and he saw that the prince's face was getting more and more ugly, and he was a little afraid that the prince would be angry because of these words, and it would be unfavorable to Hua Zhen at that time.
Thinking in his heart, he secretly pulled Hua Zhen's sleeve, but Hua Zhen ignored it and just looked at the prince.
After a long time, the mood on the prince's face stabilized, looked at Hua Zhen, and asked, "Do you really want to do this?"
"Zhen'er doesn't know what the prince means, please make it clear. ”
"I know the relationship between you and Xiao Huaijin, Zhen'er, you are a smart one, you should know what your father is thinking about Yanbei now, and it is not good for you to have a relationship with Xiao Huaijin. The prince said, looking a little gloomy.
Hua Zhen raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "So the prince told the emperor that I had a secret relationship with Xiao Huaijin, which made the emperor suspicious?"
Unexpectedly, it was discovered by Hua Zhen, and the prince immediately stopped speaking and looked to the side.
Hua Zhen saw the sneer on the corner of her mouth even more: "I feel curious when King Qi comes to the door today, the emperor knows that there is a disagreement between King Qi and me, and knows about Shen Yuxin and me, how can he send King Qi to the door in a good manner, and now I understand." This is the prince threatening and tempting Zhen'er, but I'm afraid that I will disappoint the prince, Zhen'er has no interest in the belonging of Dayan Jiangshan, and she is not at all interested in Ning's grandfather's choice, so I ask the prince not to put these thoughts on Zhen'er.
The prince should know that Zhen'er's temperament has never liked to be calculated. And now I have been calculated for a long time, my temperament is not as good as before, but now I have revenge, and I hold a grudge very much, if the prince is like this again, Zhen'er will never accept it, and when the time comes, please ask the prince to endure it. ”
As he spoke, he stood up, his voice was very soft, but every word was clearly heard: "The prince should also remember that I was able to save you and let Zhang Guang turn against the water, and I naturally left evidence to prove that this incident was deliberately done by you and framed King Qi." It's also for the sake of her aunt that Zhen'er didn't shake things out, and I hope that the prince won't ruin the relationship between our cousins and sisters. ”
This sentence suddenly made the prince's face change, and he looked at Hua Zhen and was speechless for a long time.
Just when Caihe felt that the prince was about to be angry, the prince suddenly laughed.
This smile is like a spring breeze, as if it was like just judging two people.
Even the tone of his voice was gentle and soft: "What did Zhen'er say, you are my cousin, I treat you the closest, how could it be that the cousin relationship between us could be ruined." As for my father, I must have been instigated by others, and I will definitely help you explain it to your father. ”
Hua Zhen smiled when she heard this: "Since this is the case, then Zhen'er will thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first." ”
After saying that, he personally sent the prince away.
Caihe had never seen such a prince, he was a little scared, after watching the prince leave, he looked at Hua Zhen, and asked very worriedly: "County lord, will there be anything wrong with this, the slave maid just looked at the prince's appearance, I was afraid that the words would be said like this, but I couldn't say in my heart that I had already hated the county lord." ”
