Chapter 189: Pouring Tea and Admitting Mistakes
The prince said that he couldn't help the Ruan family, so he could only respond aggrievedly.
When the two of them left with Sanniang, the prince immediately sank his face and swept the tea in his hand to the ground.
The palace attendants in the hall knelt on the ground.
The Queen Mother calmly asked these people to retreat, and then frowned and said, "What's the use of you losing your temper now?" Why didn't you listen to the mourners who told you to stay away from that woman? ”
These days, the prince was scolded in the court so much that he couldn't raise his head, and the queen mother actually couldn't sleep well.
In the final analysis, the prince and Xiao Mingyou were done under her nose, and if she had dealt with Xiao Mingyou earlier, she would not have come to this point.
In order not to be infamy, she could only try her best to cover up the past for the prince.
The prince didn't want to mention the past, so he looked at the Queen Mother and asked, "Then what now?" ”
If Hua Rong really marries Wei Yingchen, then he will not have a bargaining chip in his hand that can make Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion jealous, once the coffin is opened to verify Xiao Mingyou's identity, his position as a prince will definitely not be kept.
The prince was a little flustered.
"Did the person you sent to Yizhou reply?"
The Queen Mother asked rhetorically, her eyes were cold, and she was full of murderous intent.
Xiao Mingyou's identity cannot be exposed, and if you keep this secret, the people of the Wei family can't live.
When it came to this, the prince was very irritable, frowned and said, "I sent someone before, but Yizhou is too far away from Hanjing, even if you rush without sleep, it will take half a month to arrive, and there is no news back yet." ”
"How many people did you send?"
"Two hundred, and they are all my henchmen."
The crown prince replied resolutely, and the queen mother nodded, her face softened: "Since this is the case, nothing should happen." ”
As long as everyone in the Wei family is dead, no one will know Xiao Mingyou's identity, and this matter will be buried in the soil forever.
The prince was not at ease, he gritted his teeth and said: "It must be the third child who deliberately plotted to harm me, but the queen mother is too indecisive and refuses to do anything to the third child!" ”
Since he was engaged, the prince believed that King An had harmed him, but during this time he sent people to investigate, and did not find that King An had any private dealings with Zhongyong Bofu and Yong'an Hou Mansion, and as for the bandits in Qinglong Mountain, it had nothing to do with King An.
King An was too clean, and he couldn't find any clues, but the prince became more and more sure of his father's guess.
He is now infamous, but King An is alone, if he is deposed, isn't King An the best candidate for the new crown prince?
The more the prince thought about it, the more angry he became, blaming himself for being too soft-hearted before, only thinking about his brothers, friends and brothers, and having no defense against King An, so he would fall into such a trap.
The Queen Mother frowned, and said with a cold face: "This matter will be investigated by the Mourning family, if he dares to do something behind his back, no matter what happens to your mother, the Mourning family will definitely not be able to spare him, but the ministers of the DPRK and China are already very dissatisfied with you now, and you can no longer say that he is not in front of outsiders." ”
Regardless of whether there is anyone behind the calculation or not, the prince has made mistakes, and now it is the most important thing to admit his mistakes and correct them.
Speaking of this, the Queen Mother sighed and said, "Maybe this housewarming banquet is a good opportunity for you." ”
——
The housewarming banquet of the Wei family was very grand.
Whether it is the ingredients, wine, tea and fruit bowls, they are the best.
Ruan's family had the intention to let Hua Rong and Wei Yingchen get married, and took Hua Rong to organize the banquet together, and found that Hua Rong was very surprised after doing these things in an orderly manner, and praised Hua Rong vigorously at the banquet, and was very proud of Hua Rong.
Mrs. Qian and Qian Hanyin also came to the banquet today.
The two have always held a grudge because they were scolded that day.
After hearing Ruan's praise, Mrs. Qian said with a smile: "This used to be the palace of the King of Qi, if the county lord had not been lost, he should have grown up here, and the county lord should like this garden very much." ”
Ruan Shi was a little emotional when he heard this, and was about to say something, but Qian Hanyin opened his mouth to retort: "Mother, you are wrong, the county lord will not like this garden." ”
"Why is that?"
Someone asked curiously, Qian Hanyin raised her voice and said: "After King Qi died of illness, the third young master Jiang brought the county lord to mourn, but at that time the county lord was just a little maid, and the second lady of the Yong'an Hou Mansion saw her getting close to the third young master Jiang, and she was unhappy to see her, so she pressed her here and cut her clothes, and the county lord was almost looked at." ”
After Qian Hanyin finished speaking, the others also remembered this incident, and said meaninglessly: "I also remember this incident, I heard that Third Young Master Jiang cut Second Miss Li's clothes a lot in order to help the county lord get angry, so it seems that Third Young Master Jiang has a deep love for the county lord for a long time." ”
The man burst out laughing.
I don't really think that Jiang Yunhua likes flowers, but I just think that the dignified county lord has been treated as a plaything and is very funny.
Qian Hanyin also laughed, and Hua Rong said softly: "It turns out that Miss Qian was present at that time." ”
Hua Rong's tone was very light, and she didn't feel embarrassed by Qian Hanyin's words, but it made Qian Hanyin's face change.
If she was there and watched Hua Rong being bullied, she would not be much better than Li Xiangling.
Qian Hanyin subconsciously denied: "I'm not there, I just listened to what others said." ”
"Really? How do I remember that it was Han Yin who sent me a message and told me where the county lord was? Li Xiangling exposed Qian Hanyin's lies, "We had a good relationship at that time, although you didn't help me bully the county lord, but you sent a maid to help me let it go, but I have always remembered this feeling." ”
After Qian Hanyin and Wei Mingxuan got better, they secretly made a lot of stumbling blocks for Li Xiangling, and Fang Cai's words not only embarrassed Hua Rong, but also deepened Li Xiangling's difficult and domineering image.
But Qian Hanyin didn't expect Li Xiangling to take the initiative to jump out and admit it.
She was a little flustered for a while, and said with little confidence: "I didn't, Xiangling, you remembered it wrong." ”
"How can I be wrong about what I did, isn't the gold-inlaid jade bracelet you wore a thank you gift from me, it was a gift from my sister, and the logo of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Qian Hanyin hurriedly covered her hands, her face burned red all of a sudden, and she was very embarrassed.
Mrs. Qian didn't expect to shoot herself in the foot, she wanted to change the topic, but Li Xiangling stood up and said: "I was young and ignorant before, and I did many stupid things, and bullying the county lord with my identity is one of them, since Han Yin mentioned it today, I will make amends to the county lord in front of everyone!" ”
Li Xiangling came to Hua Rong as he spoke, took the initiative to pour a cup of tea, knelt on his knees, and offered it with both hands.
"I apologize to the county lord for the things I did to the county lord before, from now on, if anyone dares to bully the county lord and say that the county lord is not good, it will be against my Yong'an Hou Mansion!"
Everyone was shocked by Li Xiangling's actions, and no one expected that the extremely delicate second lady of the Yong'an Hou Mansion would willingly pour tea and admit her mistake.
Hua Rong was also shocked by Li Xiangling's sudden move, and she didn't know how to react, and saw Li Xiangling provoking Qian Hanyin: "The book says that knowing mistakes can be corrected, and kindness is great, isn't Hanyin going to admit her mistakes to the county lord when she mentions this matter today?" ”
Qian Hanyin: "......"
This woman is crazy!
