Chapter 49: Save Him
Since the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, Yue Ling has rarely seen Zhou Ping'er, even on Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhou Ping'er went to rest early and did not keep the New Year together.
Then Zhou Ping'er did not usher in the moment of leaving the palace, but continued to live in Shoukang Palace quietly, wanting to wait for the pain of the Yan family's loss of a child to fade before going back in a low-key manner.
Now seeing Zhou Ping'er taking the initiative to come to Xingqing Palace, Yue Ling was a little surprised: "Why did Sister Ping come over?" ”
I haven't seen her for a long time, Zhou Ping'er is a lot haggard, and she is visibly emaciated.
"Princess, please save him!" The relationship between Zhou Ping'er and Yue Ling seems to be closer than that of ordinary cousins, and there has never been such a big gift before, which makes Yue Ling's heart full of doubts.
"Sister Ping, what are you doing? What happened? Yue Ling also guessed one or two in her heart, the news of favoritism and fraud in Chunqiu has been uproaring recently, and Zhou Ping'er's sweetheart happens to be this year's lifter.
Being reminded by Yue Ling's question, Zhou Ping'er calmed down a little, and she slowly told Yue Ling what she had heard.
Yue Ling seemed to know that this year's Huiyuan Shen Zhinan turned out to be Zhou Ping'er's sweetheart: "Sister's sweetheart is this person?" ”
nodded, but Zhou Ping'er immediately defended Shen Zhinan: "Shen Gongzi is talented, it is absolutely impossible to cheat, and someone is framed by him." ”
"But ......" Yue Ling hesitated, because she didn't know if what Zhou Ping'er said was true.
And even if what Zhou Ping'er said was true, Shen Zhinan did not cheat, and with his own strength, Yue Ling felt that it was not suitable to interfere in the affairs of the court as Princess Yongjia, and if she accidentally exposed herself, the gains outweighed the losses.
"I really have no choice, only you, princess!" Zhou Ping'er regards her cousin as a life-saving straw, and the only one in this palace who can help her and speak in front of Xiao Junyan is Princess Yongjia.
"Sister Ping, this matter is not trivial, you should know that this is not something you and I can interfere with!" Yue Ling didn't want to help, she didn't come to be a living bodhisattva to purify sentient beings.
"I ......" was said by Yue Ling, and Zhou Ping'er also realized that she was indeed a little reckless. But as soon as she heard the news that Shen Zhinan was cheating and imprisoned, she was not good.
She knows her sweetheart very well, she is definitely a real talent, good character, it is impossible to cheat, someone must be framed.
Seeing that Zhou Ping'er stopped talking, Yue Ling knew that she was thinking seriously, so she persuaded her twice: "Sister Ping, you should not worry about this matter!" If he was really framed, the royal brother would always be able to find out the truth. ”
"I'm in a hurry!" Zhou Ping'er calmed down after hitting the wall, she has been nesting in Shoukang Palace since Chinese New Year's Eve, and easily refused to go out, but such news from outside the palace can reach her ears impartially, as if it is coming to her.
"Sister Ping, Shen Gongzi's Huiyuan who can take the exam will not be an ordinary person, maybe he will have a way to prove his innocence. It's you, who can't get out of the palace now, and you don't think much about yourself! Yue Ling painstakingly persuaded and seemed to care about Zhou Ping'er very much.
Zhou Ping'er did listen, and she looked sad: "I panicked when I heard the news of his accident, but I forgot that I am also unable to protect myself now." ”
Yu Xin couldn't bear it, looking at Zhou Ping'er's sad appearance, Yue Ling had an urge to help her. After getting along these days, Yue Ling felt that Zhou Ping'er was still a little different from the Zhou family in her impression.
It's just that in the end, Yue Ling quickly pressed his ridiculous thoughts.
"Sister Ping, I don't know how to comfort you, but I believe in Brother Huang, he will not be wronged by a truly talented person in vain." Yue Ling's eyes were full of sincerity.
Zhou Ping'er gradually calmed down, and she felt that what the princess's cousin said was not unreasonable.
Seeing that people listened to the persuasion, Yue Ling was also relieved, and then pulled Zhou Ping'er to chat about some happy things. It's just that after a while, the people from Shoukang Palace came over.
"Princess, Mrs. Zhou took Gongzi Zhou into the palace, and the Queen Mother asked the slave maid to come back to Miss Zhou and let them talk to each other."
As soon as Yue Ling heard that Zhou Jingyang had entered the palace, his mind became active. The cousin who was stupid when she saw her came, she should also go to Shoukang Palace to join in the fun: since my aunt has entered the palace, I should also go to see my aunt! ”
Which of the servants of Shoukang Palace didn't know the thoughts of the Empress Dowager Zhou and the Zhou family, and seeing that Yue Ling wanted to be close to the Zhou family, the slaves naturally happily took the two girls back to Shoukang Palace.
As soon as she arrived at Shoukang Palace, Yue Ling became lively, pulled Zhou Ping'er and left everyone behind, trotted all the way, and took Zhou Ping'er to the Empress Dowager Zhou.
"The son-in-law asked the queen mother to say goodbye, and I saw my uncle." The two people in front of Yue Ling were very generous, but when they arrived in front of Zhou Jingyang, the little girl's tone was a little naughty, and the tail note dragged a little, and a cousin moved people's heartstrings, "I've seen my cousin!" ”
Zhou Jingyang hurriedly returned the salute: "Say hello to my cousin!" ”
All his thoughts were attracted by the lively cousin, and Zhou Jingyang's return gift also made the two elders laugh.
Empress Dowager Zhou was very satisfied with Zhou Jingyang's prospective son-in-law, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, especially after Zhou Jingyang was in high school: "Jingyang, this child, why is he shy in front of Jiajia?" ”
was directly pierced by the Empress Dowager Zhou Jingyang's embarrassment, Zhou Jingyang's face turned red, but Yue Ling generously stood up and spoke for Zhou Jingyang: "Queen Mother, where is my cousin shy, I think it's good for my cousin to be like this." ”
When he spoke, Yue Ling's eyes were still fixed on Zhou Jingyang, which was something that Empress Dowager Zhou was happy to see. It's just that Zhou Jingyang suffered, and when he was stared at by his cousin like this, the deer in his heart collided, and even the roots of his ears were red.
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager Zhou opened her mouth and asked Yue Ling to take Zhou Jingyang out for a walk, which made Zhou Jingyang breathe a sigh of relief, and finally he didn't have to be nervous in front of so many people, but he still seemed a little nervous to go out with his cousin.
Yue Ling wanted to pull Zhou Ping'er, but the Empress Dowager Zhou said, "Ping'er stays, your mother has something to say to you." ”
"Queen Mother, let Sister Ping go play with us!" Yue Ling began to sell cuteness and coquettishness, and wanted to see if the Empress Dowager Zhou had to keep Zhou Ping'er.
Empress Dowager Zhou was unmoved: "You are a little naughty, it's not enough to stick to your cousin all day long." You go play first, let your aunt and Ping'er talk! ”
Yue Ling knew in her heart, I was afraid that there was something to explain to Zhou Ping'er alone! Yue Ling saw that she couldn't take Zhou Ping'er away, so she could only follow Zhou Jingyang to play first.
Zhou Ping'er was also full of doubts in her heart, her relationship with her mother was not too close, what could she say to herself? There was a vague uneasiness in her heart, but she had no idea what might happen.
