Chapter 354: Making Waves

"Queen Mother, why are you talking to her?" Chen Xiang stared at the Queen Mother blankly.

"This," the Queen Mother was speechless for a while, how could she really be towards Zhao Kezhen? It's just that the situation forced her to do it as a last resort. But in front of Zhao Kezhen, she didn't dare to say it too thoroughly. Chen Xiang, this child is too simple, and he has no calculations in his heart, if he inadvertently offends Zhao Kezhen, wouldn't this give Zhao Kezhen a reason to harm Rong Zhan?

The Queen Mother saw that Zhao Kezhen's face was sneering and not very happy, so she wrinkled her eyebrows and scolded: "What is this called? Concubine Zhao is your second brother's concubine, and the mother's savior, maybe she will still be the queen of Dachu in the future, why do you speak so disproportionately?"

Chenxiang was inexplicably taught a lesson by the Queen Mother, and she couldn't turn this corner in her heart, but today is the first day of reunion with her mother, she really doesn't want to be tough today, make her mother angry, even if she can't get through quickly, she can only hold back.

Chen Xiang flattened her mouth, glanced at Zhao Kezhen, and didn't speak again.

The atmosphere in the hall was really embarrassing, and the Queen Mother hurriedly found a conversation to prevaricate this unpleasantness.

"Xiang'er, what is your maid holding in your hand?"

As soon as Chen Xiang turned around, she saw that Bao Xi was still holding two pieces of silk, so she smiled and said: "Queen Mother, this is specially selected by my daughter for you, the two silk horses sold in the treasure shop outside the palace, my daughter looks at the elegant color, the queen mother should like it, so I made my own decision and bought two horses for the queen mother." I don't know what the queen mother can see?"

The Queen Mother beckoned and asked Bao Xi to hold things up to her.

The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and flipped through it, and said with a smile: "The material is a good material, and the color is also good. ”

Chen Xiang smiled shyly, pulled the silk, and measured it on the queen mother.

Bao Xi lowered her head, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother can only see Bao Xi's nose and eyebrows from the angle of the Queen Mother, and she can't see her face clearly. He smiled and said, "You put your head up." ”

Bao Xi raised her head in response, and the Queen Mother looked the girl up and down for a while, and said, "She looks good, and she has a little bit of the simplicity of a country girl." ”

Bao Xi nodded and said, "If you go back to the Queen Mother, the slave maid is indeed from the countryside. Wei Fu spent a hundred taels of silver to buy a slave and maid, and asked the slave and maid to serve the princess. ”

Zhao Kezhen flattened her mouth, this Weifu is really good at currying favor with Pangaozhi. Specially rushed to flatter the princess when she was in trouble, what kind of poor and lowly girl, it was worth a hundred taels? Hmph, it was obvious that she wanted to please the princess, and deliberately raised the price.

"Country girl?" Zhao Kezhen hooked the corners of her lips: "What will the country girl do? I said, you people in the Wei Mansion, why do you love to do these effortless errands to please you?"

Bao Xi raised her head and looked at Zhao Kezhen with some astonishment.

Zhao Kezhen frowned, kicked Bao Xi over, and said, "Little prostitute, no one teaches you the rules? A lowly slave dares to look directly into the eyes of the master?"

Chen Xiang was startled, and hurriedly reached out to help Baoxi, Zhao Kezhen sneered: "Princess, what do you keep her doing with such a cheap thing? I don't think she understands any rules, and it is in vain for you to leave her in the palace." It's better to reward her with a few taels of silver, and get out of the palace, and the concubine is choosing a good service for you. ”

"Are you teaching Princess Ben a lesson?" asked Chen Xiang coldly without even looking at her.

Zhao Kezhen snorted and said, "How dare you? The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, naturally she is raised by the queen mother, and the concubine is just a concubine in the harem, how dare she teach the princess a lesson?

"Who is the traitor, who is using this princess?" ”

Zhao Kezhen's eyes were a little frivolous, as if she didn't take the princess in her eyes at all. This was something she had felt from the moment she entered the door just now.

"Who took advantage of the princess? Isn't this clear enough?Which one did the concubine kick just now, can't the princess see clearly?" Zhao Kezhen arrogantly tied her hands and twisted her posture: "The princess is young and ignorant, I'm afraid that some things will not be real!"

Chen Xiang has already endured Zhao Kezhen again and again, and she can't bear it. She stood up suddenly, stood opposite Zhao Kezhen, and stared at Zhao Kezhen.

"Concubine Zhao has good footwork, I never knew that a beautiful lady could be so high-flying. dared to show his teeth and claws in front of the Queen Mother, as if he wanted to eat people. Bao Xi is the girl of this princess herself, who dares to say that Bao Xi doesn't understand the rules?" Princess Chenxiang looked at Zhao Kezhen sideways and sneered: "In front of this princess, Bao Xi never dared to look into the eyes of her master. She was only distracted by the sudden hearing of a dog barking, and then she looked up. Who knows, the dog is staring at her!"

Zhao Kezhen's body trembled, and her face turned red: "Who do you say is a dog?!"

Chen Xiang also refused to show weakness at all, and took a step forward: "Whoever screams the loudest, I will say whom!"

"You!"

Zhao Kezhen turned her face a little weakly, Princess Chenxiang didn't name her, but her jealousy put her in an embarrassing situation.

Isn't this deliberately seeking infamy?Yan'er frowned.

Yan'er quietly pulled the shawl on Zhao Kezhen's arm, wanting her to stop quickly, so as not to throw face to her grandmother's house. But Zhao Kezhen's anger has been lifted to the top of her head by Chenxiang, she has been pointed at her nose and scolded, retreating at this time, isn't Zhao Kezhen afraid of Princess Chenxiang?

Zhao Kezhen pulled over her shawl and looked at Chen Xiang intently: "Hmph, I haven't seen you for two months, but the princess has become sharp-toothed? The eldest son of the Wei family really has the means, and before he got married, he provoked the princess to die for him. ”

Zhao Kezhen pretended to clap her hands arrogantly, with a knowing look: "It's really hard to think about it!"

When Chen Xiang heard this, her face suddenly turned crimson, she was still a girl, and saying this in front of her, wasn't this a deliberate attempt to humiliate her?

Chen Xiang was quite surprised, not only because of Zhao Kezhen's audacity, but also because of the Queen Mother's deliberate indulgence. Chen Xiang looked at the Queen Mother, she just stared at her eyebrows, but she didn't know what was going on in her head. She is the biological daughter of the Queen Mother, Zhao Kezhen humiliated herself in front of the Queen Mother, can the Queen Mother be indifferent?

The queen mother's reaction made Chen Xiang a little unacceptable for a while, how much care and spoiling the former mother and queen mother had for her, and now how could she be willing to be insulted by Zhao Kezhen in public?

"Hmph, Concubine Zhao is really well-educated, no wonder the emperor's brother doesn't look down on you. Chen Xiang raised her chin slightly, and said proudly: "Since my emperor's brother doesn't take you seriously, I don't need to take you too seriously, your words, I can listen to the left ear and the right ear come out, anyway, that's what the emperor's brother did, don't you say?"

Chen Xiang's words hit the nail on the head, like a sharp sword, straight into Zhao Kezhen's heart. What is the point of scolding Zhao Kezhen for being a dog? This is called a fatal blow.

Sure enough, Zhao Kezhen's face suddenly turned the color of sheep liver, her face twitched violently for a while, and even her body trembled.

"You dare to humiliate me?" Zhao Kezhen's throat trembled like her body. The Queen Mother glanced at her sideways, vaguely feeling that Zhao Kezhen's mood was not quite right. For Zhao Kezhen, there is nothing in this world that makes her more embarrassed than Rong Zhan's refusal to touch her. It's as if you're marrying a husband who can't do that, or if you're not good at that. In short, as soon as this matter was said, Zhao Kezhen's last face was completely torn off.

"Chenxiang!" The Queen Mother sank her face and scolded: "You talked too much, why don't you hurry up and apologize to your imperial sister-in-law?"

I apologize? Chen Xiang was stunned for a moment, it was obvious that Zhao Kezhen was provoking in front, and she was just defending herself. Zhao Kezhen's words are even more ugly, and if she wants to apologize, Zhao Kezhen should apologize first. Why did she want her to bow her head to Zhao Kezhen?

"Queen Mother~" Chen Xiang lay on the Queen Mother's lap: "Queen Mother, you heard it just now, what did she say about her daughter, why didn't you talk about her, but reprimanded me?"

The Queen Mother stared at the incense, her eyes full of sternness and helplessness. Zhao Kezhen found out her dead end, if she was not controlled by others, would Rong Zhan still have a way to live? If Rong Zhan fell, would there still be a way to live in this great Chu country? If any of the six princes of the former emperor could find one who was worthy of a great responsibility, she would rather want Rong Zhan to abdicate and make way for Xian, and it was impossible to endure such a nest.

"Chenxiang, make amends to your imperial sister-in-law. The Queen Mother said, turned her face away, and couldn't help but say.

Chen Xiang was also stubborn, pursed her lips, and refused to look at her: "I don't, it's obvious that she is at fault." ”

"Chenxiang! Don't you even listen to the queen mother's words?" The queen mother pulled Chenxiang's wrist and pointed at Zhao Kezhen with one hand: "Hurry up and apologize to your imperial sister-in-law! Why are you so ignorant of the rules? Is it that the queen mother usually spoils you?"

The Queen Mother's face was a little pale, and Chen Xiang really didn't want to be angry with her, but if she apologized to Zhao Kezhen like this, it would be too embarrassing. If Zhao Kezhen only scolded her alone, she could still bear it, but Zhao Kezhen scolded Cheng Yong! Cheng Yong, a gentle and introverted, modest and righteous gentleman, why should he be insulted by her like this?

Chen Xiang suddenly stood up and pointed at Zhao Kezhen: "What kind of ecstasy did you give my mother?"

Drugged?!

Princess Chenxiang just asked casually, but Zhao Kezhen was really frightened, and the Queen Mother also trembled.

Zhao Kezhen looked at the princess solemnly for a long time, and couldn't say a word. The Queen Mother only felt that Zhao Kezhen's face was becoming more and more gloomy, like a bowstring ready to go. The Queen Mother slammed Princess Chenxiang, raised her hand, and slapped Princess Chenxiang on the cheek.

Princess Chenxiang shivered and fell to the ground reflexively. Is she completely blinded, this is still the first time that she has grown so big, and the queen mother has done something to her, it is actually to defend Zhao Kezhen? Today is the day they have just reunited! Chen Xiang only felt full of grievances, and she was a little happy and sad.

She felt that her nose was a little sour, covered her mouth, and ran out crying.
