Chapter 9 (The Prince)

"Let's go, the decrepit family will walk next to you."

"Thank you, Steward." Qin Yao got up from the ground, and just as he took a step, he was tripped over the bluestone strips on the ground.

"Be careful, really." Mr. Huang reminded helplessly.

Stumbling to an open place, a grandmother leading a large group of palace maids was waiting there.

"Mama Rong, I'll leave it to you, and look at this girl who always causes trouble." The manager explained and led the people away.

Mama Rong gestured with her chin, and the palace maid behind her immediately came over in an orderly manner and handed them a tray, which contained a silver-white fake flower branch bonsai, which looked very coordinated with them in a white gauze outfit.

"Raise your head and look ahead and follow me." Mama Rong said and turned around.

But these words don't seem to be useful, all the show girls are looking at Qin Yao, can't they wear skirts? This hand is occupied, and she can't lift the skirt, how is she going to go?

Sure enough, as soon as he took a step, he was pushed with Qin Feng and Qin Yao, and Qin Yao also made a decision, put his forehead against the corner of the tray and knocked out a small hole, and the blood flowed out immediately.

Covered with snow-white white gauze sleeves, the blood oozing out of the red and white contrast is very exaggerated.

"Yo! What's going on? "Mama Rong is frightened, how can she explain if she breaks one! I didn't care about my appearance, so I ran over to check it for her.

"Mama Rong, I can't wear a skirt, I can't walk in a skirt, the manager just said it." Qin Yao's painful defense.

"Mr. Huang is talking about you?" Mama Rong was really scared, she took Qin Yao's hand away and saw her appearance, she panicked in her heart, such a delicate beauty was injured, if the emperor knew about it, she would not have to peel off a layer of her skin?

"Mama? What should I do now? Several palace maids beside Mama Rong also asked anxiously.

"I'll take a look, it's all out of shape, and I won't be able to participate in the pre-selection tomorrow!" Mama Rong was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"Mama, I can do it." Qin Yao struggled to his feet. 、

"Eh, how can it be that simple? Tomorrow is the pre-selection of the prince and the queen themselves! How can this be fooled! It would be a big sin to escort the show girl into the palace like this! "Mama Rong is almost crying out for the sky and the earth.

"Mama Rong, it's useless to be anxious now, let's find a place to treat her first, right?" Qin Xuan comforted with kind words.

"You two hold her." Mama Rong said, and hurriedly took a group of show girls to a house.

"This is your residence, can you take them to their own rooms?" Mama Rong is really not in the mood to make detailed arrangements, and even the lecture is waived, she has to go to the queen to ask for guilt as soon as possible, only the queen can help her.

A show girl and a palace maid quickly dispersed.

"Don't forget to get the Imperial Doctor." Mama Rong instructed before leaving.

……。

Gong Yun was discussing with the queen in the Fengyi Hall about tomorrow's pre-selection of show girls, and Mama Rong ran in as if her butt was on fire and fell to her knees.

"Help, Queen! The minions are in trouble. ”

"Mama Rong? What trouble can you cause and be afraid of this? "The queen is also inexplicable, Mama Rong is the most trusted person around her, who else can punish her in this palace except the emperor? Did she offend the emperor? Impossible? How could Mama Rong make such a mistake after so many years in the palace?

"A show girl is out of shape, and the slave doesn't know that she can't walk in a skirt! As soon as the slave gave her the ginkgo tree, she fell and kowtowed, and the slave really didn't know. Mama Rong cried and begged.

"Can't walk in a skirt?" The queen repeated in disbelief, "What woman can't wear a dress?" ”

"Queen Mother, could it be the third daughter of Qin Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?" Gong Yun suddenly remembered.

"Qin Hong's third daughter? Doesn't he only have two daughters? Are they all that big? The queen asked, puzzled.

"Mama Rong? Did she ever say she was in the country all the time? Gong Yun asked.

"As I said, she said that she had never worn a skirt while farming in the countryside, not to mention that the skirt of the selected show girl was particularly long." Mama Rong hurriedly explained that she didn't want to speak for Qin Yao, she just wanted to exonerate herself.

"That's her? Queen Mother, Qin Hong told me last night that his three daughters were kicked out because of family fighting and their mother since they were children. This time, the father asked his sons and ministers to decree that all women who were officials above the third rank must run for election, and Qin Hong had no choice but to take her and her mother back, and she didn't have time to teach them at all last night. Gong Yun explained.

"Isn't it foolish for a farmer to come to the draft? I can't even wear a skirt, so I can't even wear a female red dance skill in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, knitting, and so on, right? The queen asked.

Gong Yun looked at the queen mother with a strange expression, and the look was to say, do you think she can do it, the queen mother?

"Since that's the case, anyway, one more and one less, your father doesn't know, so let's do it, you personally send her back to apologize to Qin Shangshu." Queen's Road.

"I'm going? Queen mother? You asked me to send her back as a prince? Gong Yun asked in surprise.

The Queen Mother helplessly persuaded: "Wang'er! The queen mother knows that you disdain to make friends with powerful people, but you are the crown prince, and the emperor counts you as a total of eight princes, all staring at your position? Except for the Eighth Prince Gong Xuan, who is close to you, those six are trying their best to win over the important ministers of the court. ”

"You're not afraid of the queen mother, I'm afraid! What if you are taken away from your mother-in-law! It's not for her that you sent her, what a good opportunity to make friends with Qin Hong? The queen persuaded.

"Take my seat? They also have to have that ability, besides, Qin Hong is just a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, what's the use of befriending him? Gong Yun replied confidently.

"He has no military power, but his path is wide! Those important ministers of the court, weddings, funerals, big and small affairs, which family can leave him? Didn't even your father have to pass him in the draft? Obedient and go quickly. "The queen gave a stern drinking order.

"Prince, although this Qin Yao doesn't know etiquette and doesn't have any knowledge, his appearance is absolutely unique in the world! If you teach me well, maybe you can become a good helper for the prince? Is it virtue for a woman to be talentless? Rong Mama fell into the well and echoed like a stone.

The corners of the queen's mouth trembled, although her son doesn't recruit girls to see, but why can't she find a farmer to be the crown princess? Besides, if the dignified prince falls in love with someone's girl, which one dares to say that he will not marry?

"Don't talk about that, Wang'er, you can be considerate and considerate of the queen mother's hard work, right? Besides, who else can take her out but you now? The queen persuaded kindly.

"If I don't go, do you want to spread the reputation of my son?" Gong Yun refused to leave.

"Oh, the prince, if you don't go to the old slave, you will be able to give an explanation, and the emperor will suspect that your mother instructed me because of the appearance of the girl in the Qin family, if you implicate your mother, you will be very rebellious." Mama Rong cried.

"She's really that good-looking?" Gong Yun remembered the portrait Qin Hong gave him last night.

"Prince! Don't bother, once it reaches the emperor and is seen by him, your mother and I will suffer. ”

"It's not a pity for me to die as a slave, your father can't wait to find a reason to abolish your mother, if he sees the three girls of the Qin family, your mother will be in danger." Mama Rong cried and peeked at the queen.

The queen's expression was matched with her, and she immediately shouted: "Wang'er, do you want to make a catastrophe for the queen mother?" ”
