Chapter 132: Hongu doesn't like to be strong either
Of course, Wei Mingxuan didn't want to go to Dali Temple, and reluctantly apologized to Hua Rong.
After Wei Mingxuan left, Li Xiangling looked at Hua Rong with a complicated expression and said, "Thank you today." ”
The people who were good friends with her at the beginning had long been enveloped together by Wei Mingxuan, and even helped Wei Mingxuan to harm her before, Li Xiangling didn't expect that Huarong would stand up and defend herself today.
"The slave is just telling the truth, the second lady is polite."
Hua Rong didn't take credit, Li Xiangling still wanted to say something, the maid leaned into her ear and whispered a few words, Li Xiangling's face changed, and she was about to leave, Hua Rong grabbed her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Xiangling was a little panicked, thinking that Hua Rong had just helped him, and he unconsciously became dependent, grabbed Hua Rong's arm and said, "Chen'er is sick, my sister is busy organizing the banquet, I have to go and see him." ”
Chen'er is the son of the crown princess, and the name of the eldest grandson of the current emperor.
Hua Rong calmly reminded: "Even if the crown princess is very busy, there are still many people waiting around the emperor's eldest grandson, so there is no need for the second lady to worry about it." ”
Li Xiangling frowned and said anxiously: "But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has long been fascinated by the fox spirit of the Wei family, and those palace people will not serve them wholeheartedly." ”
The crown princess fell out of favor, and the only thing she and the Yong'an Marquis Mansion could rely on was this child, and Li Xiangling was concerned about it.
Hua Rong didn't defend her, and asked instead: "Who came out with this news?" No matter how busy the crown princess is, the eldest grandson of the emperor is unwell, someone will inform her, can the second lady know the situation in the palace better than the crown princess? ”
Although Li Xiangling has entered the palace many times, he only visits the crown princess, and cannot move around the palace at will, let alone mobilize the people in the palace.
Li Xiangling calmed down a little and invited the maid to ask.
Jiang Yunfei and Jiang Yunqi were both watching from the side, and the maid was a little nervous, and said stumblingly, "Slave maid...... The slave and maid didn't know that person, and he said that the emperor's eldest grandson was very sick, and the slave and maid panicked all of a sudden......"
"You don't even know anyone, so you dare to come and spread the word casually, don't you have a brain?"
Li Xiangling interrupted rudely, raised his hand to hit the maid, and his wrist was grabbed by Hua Rong: "Today is the day of great joy for His Royal Highness the Prince, if the second lady wants to teach her subordinates, let's wait until I go back." ”
Wei Mingxuan had already made a fuss just now, and Li Xiangling punished the maid in public, which would inevitably make people think about it, and it would reach the ears of the prince, which was not good for the princess.
Li Xiangling heard the meaning of Hua Rong's words, retracted his hand unwillingly, gritted his teeth and said, "It must be Wei Mingxuan's slut who made the ghost, I will never spare her!" ”
The palace is heavily guarded, and Wei Mingxuan is just a young lady from a family who has not left the cabinet, and she has no power to drive the palace people to falsely spread the words of the crown princess.
Jiang Yunfei felt that something was wrong, and quietly went to find the Praetorian Guards on duty in the school field today.
Jiang Yunhua was worried that something would happen to Hua Rong and never left, and Li Xiangling stayed by Hua Rong's side for the rest of the time because of Hua Rong's help, regardless of whether Hua Rong was interested in listening or not, he complained about Wei Mingxuan from head to toe.
After she finished complaining, Hua Rong asked curiously: "The reason why this Miss Wei dares to do this is because the Wei family is the crown prince's side concubine, doesn't the second miss hate this side concubine?" ”
"Of course I hate her!" Li Xiangling replied without hesitation, and then slumped his shoulders again, "But the Wei family protects her very well, I haven't even seen her, and I don't know where to start." ”
Jiang Yunhua took over the topic: "How could I not have seen it, didn't it say that the Wei family valued her very much?" ”
"After all, she has been living in the folk for more than 20 years, and she doesn't understand any rules, and the Wei family is afraid that she will be ridiculed when she goes out, so they keep her at home and don't let anyone see her, and not long after she was found, she gave the prince a side concubine, so it was inconvenient to go out." Look at the book
That makes sense.
Jiang Yunhua didn't think much about it, but a bold idea popped up in Hua Rong's mind.
Xiao Mingyou did not die in Chenzhou, the prince was infatuated with her at that time, and it was impossible to let her go, could this side concubine who had not shown her face in front of everyone for three years be Xiao Mingyou?
Nothing happened again, and the dinner officially began.
The prince's side concubine sounds good, but in fact it is also a concubine, the prince does not have to go to the Wei family to greet his relatives in person, the sedan chair is carried directly into the east palace from the west palace gate, this side concubine will not show up at the dinner, let alone give tea to Emperor Showa and the queen, and it is still the crown princess who accompanies the prince to attend.
Three years ago, Hua Rong had seen the crown princess in the Qi Palace, she was very scared at the time, and only glanced at it hurriedly, but she also remembered that the princess was a dignified and noble beauty, and now goodbye, the princess was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with exquisite makeup, and accompanied the prince with a decent smile, but there were two more points of sadness on her body that could not be hidden.
Her identity is still noble, but she is already inseparable from the people around her.
The prince was very happy today, seeing that the smile behind Jiang Yunhua was even deeper, and halfway through the banquet, the prince specially named Jiang Yunhua's name.
"This palace has long seen that Ah Yu is definitely not a thing in the pool, this time Qinglong Mountain suppressed bandits, Ah Hu has made great contributions, and he will definitely be able to become a fierce general of Zhaoling in the future."
The prince did not hesitate to praise Jiang Yunqiu, as if he was not the one who wanted Jiang Yunhua's life in Chenzhou at all.
Jiang Yunhua raised his wine glass and said loudly: "Your Highness, the suppression of bandits in Qinglong Mountain is not the work of me alone, but the credit of the heroic fighting of the entire Lizhou Captain Battalion, and if someone does not provide a road map to go up the mountain, I am afraid that I will return with a feather." ”
Hua Rong's credit Jiang Yunhua truthfully reported it, and the prince's eyes naturally fell on Hua Rong, and he said with a smile: "Ah Hua, this maid is indeed powerful, the palace thought that she died three years ago, but I didn't expect her to be able to reunite with Ah Yu in Lizhou and make such a miraculous feat." ”
After the prince finished speaking, he motioned to the palace people to pour wine for Hua Rong.
However, as soon as the palace people bent down, they were stopped by Jiang Yunqi: "She has injuries on her body and can't drink." ”
Jiang Yunhua refused very decisively, and the prince insisted: "It's just a cup, it's okay." ”
"Not a single cup."
Jiang Yunhua still refused.
Today, the ministers above the fifth grade have all entered the palace for a banquet, and they also brought their families, Jiang Yunhua is like this, and it is really a little too faceless.
The prince pursed his lips and was silent, the atmosphere was a little stiff, and the princess smiled warmly and said, "Since this girl can't drink, then replace wine with tea......"
Before he finished speaking, the prince threw the wine glass in his hand.
At this time, the ritual music happened to be finished, and the porcelain-white jade cup rolled down the steps, the sound was very abrupt, and the noisy crowd quieted down.
"Bengong accidentally slipped his hand," the prince explained, and the palace people hurriedly poured a clean wine glass for the prince, and the prince said casually, "Since you can't drink it, don't drink it, this palace has always disliked the difficulty of strongmen." ”
The ceremony and music resumed, and the atmosphere soon became warm again, only the crown princess's face was a little ugly.
