Under the white marble steps outside the dormitory of Zichen Palace, Princess Chenxiang, Qin Shun, Ling'er, Baoxi, and Xiangyun Hongxia knelt in two rows and knelt for an hour.

"What do you want me to say about you? Who gave you the guts? Is my dormitory something you can break into casually? You don't even look at what time it is!?"

Chen Xiang also held her breath in her heart, pouting and said, "I didn't mean to. ”

Rong Zhan was stunned: "If you did it on purpose, then you still have it?!"

Chen Xiang glanced at him, and said without showing weakness: "I'm just afraid that the two of you will quarrel, so I got up in the middle of the night to persuade you, who knows that kindness is not rewarded." If you can't pull your face down and quarrel with the imperial sister-in-law, why do you put on a menacing appearance to make others worry?!"

As soon as Chen Xiang's words came out, there was a burst of snorting sound one after another, Rong Zhan looked up in embarrassment to see who was laughing, and those people hurriedly pursed their mouths and put on a serious and sad look.

"You!?, you say I'm pretending?" Rong Zhan said angrily.

Chen Xiang twisted her face twice, with an expression of "Don't you count in your heart?", and Rong Zhan, who was angry, didn't say anything for a long time.

Lawlessness, lawlessness! Rong Zhan paced back and forth under the corridor, looked at Gong Xiang, and couldn't open his mouth to reprimand her for a while. Raise your hand to make a gesture to hit someone, but this Chenxiang is not afraid at all, can't help but hide, and deliberately raises his face, which is really annoying.

This sister has been spoiled since she was a child, and she is protected by the Queen Mother, no one in this palace can do anything to her, even now that she is the emperor, she always has to protect this sister for three points, but today's matter, he really doesn't know how to protect her.

A dignified emperor, when he was having a good time with his queen, he was broken by his own sister. There is no need to say how embarrassing it is, but he can not be held accountable as an elder brother. But if this kind of thing can spare her, where are the etiquette rules of this Da Chu?

Chen Xiang knelt for an hour, couldn't help but rub her knees, and Ling'er's soft voice came from behind her: "I'm sorry princess, it's all slaves and maids who have affected you." ”

Xiangyun shook her head: "Don't blame Sister Ling'er, it's all my fault with Hongxia, it's us who have caused the princess." ”

Rong Zhan stood on the jade steps, and when he heard the sound of whispering below, he didn't feel angry. He's already punishing them for kneeling, and they still have to talk secretly? What can't they say afterwards? Do they have to say it in front of themselves?

"What do you say?" he asked.

He was so harsh, he just wanted to scare and scare them, but if they replied that it was okay, he would definitely not pursue it. Who knew that these girls were all solid-eyed, and replied smoothly: "If you go back to the emperor, this is not the princess's business, it is the slave maid who recklessly invited the princess over, if you want to punish it, punish the slave maid." ”

Rong Zhan glanced at it, and it was Ling'er who spoke.

"No, Your Majesty, it's not about Sister Ling'er's business, it's the slave maid who is not good, the slave maid was confused for a while, passed on the wrong word, and caused trouble. Please also ask the emperor to forgive the sin. Xiangyun hurriedly replied.

"No, Your Majesty, it's not Xiangyun's fault, it's the slave maid who is stupid, and the slave maid has the wrong idea. Hongxia also hurriedly replied.

Rong Zhan stared at these palace maids, speechless for a long time, this is a confession, as if he was fighting for credit.

He laughed angrily: "Okay, it's really a sisterhood, and it's humble." ”

As soon as Rong Zhan's voice fell, several palace maids didn't dare to speak. It was Qin Shun who knelt in front of him: "Your Majesty, it's none of their business, it's all the last generals who speak clearly and mislead them, the culprit is Qin Shun, if you want to punish it, just punish the last general, just don't implicate the innocent." ”

Rong Zhan looked at Qin Shun and then at Ling'er. He is heroic, where is this for the palace maids? This is for Ling'er.

Rong Zhan snorted indifferently: "Commander Qin is the most powerful person around me, if I break Commander Qin, won't I have no one to use?"

Qin Shun raised his head and looked at Rong Zhan.

"I won't do anything to Commander Qin, so Commander Qin wants to use this as a blackmail, and wants me to release them all. Isn't it?"

Qin Shun shook his head vigorously: "The last general doesn't dare, the last general has a hundred guts, and he doesn't dare to think like this." ”

"What does Commander Qin mean?" Rong Zhan looked at him indifferently.

Qin Shun was speechless for a moment and retreated.

She just broke into the emperor's bedroom, she just broke the emperor's good deeds, but what could she do? She was the princess of Chenxiang, the favorite daughter of the first emperor, could the emperor still kill herself?

Chen Xiang raised her face and said, "The royal brother can't be guilty of showing off his might to a group of slaves and maids, such a small crime, this princess doesn't need to push it to a few slaves." I'll just bear it, let's say, how does the royal brother want to punish me?

With a word, Chen Xiang directly scared Rong Zhan into the corner. If he is lightly punished, he feels sorry for his face, but if he is punished heavily, he is really a little reluctant. After all, this matter is not small, but it is not big. If we were to investigate this, we would publicize the matter, and wouldn't everyone know about it?

Rong Zhan was forced by her to not come to the stage for a while, and Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the princess is not intentional, as the saying goes, it is not an exaggeration to know it." The princess came with a good heart, if the emperor is punished heavily, won't he be distressed in the future. Just ask the emperor to give the concubines a face, don't compete with the princess. ”

Rong Zhan also needed someone like Yuan Xi to give him a step down, as soon as Yuan Xi spoke, he also lost his breath and pointed at Chen Xiang: "You just kneel here, you are not allowed to get up until dawn." You give me a good time to reflect and reflect. ”

Rong Zhan snorted and entered the dormitory, and said to Yuanxi: "You don't care about her, tell a few of them to kneel well." ”

Yuan Xi looked at Rong Zhan, hid his smile, and walked down the jade steps while responding.

"Miyaka, get up. ”

Yuan Xi stretched out his hand to help her, but she didn't move: "The emperor said that it was not dawn, so he didn't tell me to get up." ”

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "The emperor is just an angry sentence, can the princess take it seriously? It is even more serious, if you take the wind and cold, you will have to eat those bitter soups and medicines when you turn back, how uncomfortable is it? ”

Chen Xiang stubbornly shook her head: "I don't, it's not dawn yet." ”

Won-hee looked up at the sky, although it was not very bright, but the sky had already begun to whiten.

Yuan Xi pointed to the halo in the sky and said, "Who said that the sky is not bright yet, isn't it bright?"

Chen Xiang raised her head and looked at her with some doubts, Yuan Xi smiled: "Get up, are you really angry and kneeling until dawn? If you kneel until dawn, do you want this knee anymore? If you fall into a cold leg problem at a young age, then you can bear it." ”

Chenxiang slowly stood up and glanced behind her: "What about them? What about them?"

Yuan Xi waved his hand and said: "You are all scattered, you have all tossed for half a night, the emperor's grace, let you go back and rest." ”

When everyone dispersed, Yuan Xi pulled Chenxiang and said, "I'll send someone to send you back to Cheng'an Palace, right?"

Chen Xiang shook her head and held Yuan Xi's hand: "Imperial sister-in-law, I have something to ask you." ”

Yuan Xi nodded, led her to the side hall and sat down, and warmed her hands with a cup of hot gongju tea: "What's the matter?"

Chen Xiang pursed her lips, a little embarrassed: "Imperial sister-in-law, why did the imperial brother quarrel with you today?"

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just a misunderstanding, no, I explained it to the emperor, and the emperor's anger disappeared." Yuan Xi helped Chen Xiang and said: "Don't listen to a few palace maids guessing randomly, what can they understand? I can't believe what I say. ”

"It's not chasing after the wind. Chen Xiang raised her head and looked at Yuan Xi solemnly: "Imperial sister-in-law, do you really want Ling'er to bribe the main exam*? Don't you really want Cheng Yong to pass the top three in the examination? In fact, I don't hate him anymore, the imperial examination is his lifelong dream, so you let him take the exam." Imperial sister-in-law, you can kill him, but you can't stop his thoughts, killing people is not enough, if you cut off his thoughts, he will suffer for a lifetime. ”

Yuan Xi put away his smile and replaced it with a flat expression: "Even so, it's none of the princess's business, besides, Wei Chengyong humiliated the royal family, the crime was extremely evil, and he should have suffered from it." ”

Chen Xiang shook her head vigorously: "Imperial sister-in-law, you can't do this. Wei Chengyong only rejected me because he had his beloved. What courage and nobility is it for him to disobey the greatest magnate in the world for the sake of his love? He is not close to me because I am a princess, but because he is upright. Such a person should participate in the imperial examination and become a pillar of the imperial court. ”

Won-hee didn't answer, but stared at Miyaka silently for a while. Seeing Chenxiang, she was a little weak-hearted: "Sister-in-law, why are you always looking at me?"

Yuan Xi smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect that my eldest brother still has such charm." ”

Chen Xiang said with a smile: "Imperial sister-in-law, if you stand at the foot of Mount Tai and look at Mount Tai, you can naturally see the majestic rocks, but if you stand in the mountains, you will not see the true direction of this mountain." Isn't it?"

Won-hee shook his head.

Chen Xiang smiled: "What's the matter, don't you believe it?"

Won-hee shook his head again.

Chenxiang looked at Yuan Xi a little ignorantly: "That's?"

Yuan Xi smiled: "I grew up with Wei Chengyong since I was a child, of course I know what is good about him." I just didn't expect that Wei Chengyong said so many things that hurt the princess, but in the eyes of the princess, Wei Chengyong is still a complete upright gentleman. ”

Chen Xiang bowed slightly, her face flushed with a flush, she also noticed the shame she revealed, and hurriedly covered half of her face with her hand to cover it up.

"Imperial sister-in-law, I was confused when you said this, I don't know what you mean, I'm a little sleepy, I'll go back first, you and the imperial brother should rest early." Chenka said, standing up and leaving.

Yuan Xi hurriedly stopped her: "Xiang'er, in your heart, should you still not be able to let him go, right?"
