Chenxiang dangled at the gate of the North Palace for a while, and finally took the first step slowly. It was really embarrassing for her to make amends to Zhao Kezhen, and with her temper, she should have arrested Zhao Kezhen and thrown her into the lotus pond.

But Won-hee said that she had grown up and should solve the problem in an adult way. Chen Xiang doesn't understand, is the way adults deal with problems is to wronged themselves?

The little palace maid who reported was very arrogant, as if she didn't take her as a princess in her eyes at all. Yuan Xi said that these palace maids all listened to Zhao Kezhen's call, no wonder they dared to treat themselves so unreasonably.

The Queen Mother saw that Chen Xiang was willing to give in and make amends to Zhao Kezhen, and she was half happy and half worried. Happily, Chenxiang finally knows what it means to endure for a while, but worryingly, I don't know how long they will endure it.

Zhao Kezhen knew that after Chen Xiang left the North Palace, she went to the Middle Palace, and she also had some idea of Chen Xiang's behavior of asking for sin, wasn't it taught by Wei Yuanxi? Although she knew that Princess Gong Xiang's reparation was not sincere, but when she thought about it carefully, she was also happy in her heart. What can Wei Yuanxi do? Everyone says she's smart, so what, don't you still have to ask Princess Chenxiang to apologize obediently?

Zhao Kezhen raised her chin slightly, she thought that Wei Yuanxi could have some tricks. So that's it?

Princess Chenxiang's body has been bowing, and Zhao Kezhen just didn't say that word of understanding. The smile on the queen mother's face gradually disappeared, and she was really afraid that Chen Xiang couldn't help it for a while, and she clashed with Zhao Kezhen again.

Fortunately, Miyaka endured to the end.

"The princess came to make amends for the concubine, and it was really embarrassing for the princess. Zhao Kezhen said, stepped forward and stretched out her hand to help the princess up.

Zhao Kezhen looked Princess Chenxiang up and down, with a look of arrogance in her eyes.

"How old is the princess this year, it's time to marry a wishful husband, right?" Zhao Kezhen took the princess's hand and said with a smile: "The concubine has a younger brother in the family, who is about the same age as the princess, if the princess is interested, the concubine can introduce the two of you to each other." ”

Chen Xiang frowned, and withdrew her hand: "Concubine Zhao is mistaken, right? The first emperor intended to marry this princess to the eldest prince of the Wei family." Can the emperor's marriage be easily violated?"

Zhao Kezhen covered her mouth and laughed a few times, and said: "It is true that the marriage is a major event, and it is true to listen to the orders of the parents, but after all, this is a lifelong event for the princess, if it is easily married to an incompetent person, or a villain who sees things differently, won't it hurt the princess for a lifetime?"

"Who is the villain who sees something different?" Chen Xiang raised her face and stared at Zhao Kezhen.

Zhao Kezhen's smile stopped abruptly, and said: "I'm just casually saying, why does the princess have to sit in the right seat? Besides, the world is initially decided, and capable people and heroes abound, why should the princess hang herself on a tree? Although it was the first emperor's marriage, the holy decree of marriage has not yet reached the Wei Mansion, is it? This is just an unimplemented idea of the former emperor. There are so many young men to choose from, so why should the princess accept her fate?"

Chen Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Kezhen's every word was aimed at Cheng Yong, and she hated Chen Xiang so much that she wanted to slap her hard, but before she came, she had a word with Yuan Xi first, she was here to stare at the Queen Mother, so she didn't have to have too much conflict with Zhao Kezhen.

Chen Xiang held back her anger, squeezed out a little smile, and said: "Yes, what Sister Zhao said is true, but I think the son of the Wei family is very good, not like the incompetent person that my sister said, nor is he a villain who sees things differently." My matter, when my father was alive, I had already made a decision, and I didn't bother my sister. ”

Chen Xiang said, went around Zhao Kezhen, and sat next to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother warmly stretched out her hand and stroked it between the incense hair. Zhao Kezhen turned her face and stared at Chen Xiang deadly. After a long time, Chen Xiang turned around and said, "Sister Zhao, I want to say a few words to my mother alone, if you have nothing to do, just step back first." ”

The corners of Zhao Kezhen's mouth twitched a few times, and said: "The queen mother is old, and I am afraid that the maids will not take good care of her, so with me here, I can take care of the queen mother." ”

Chen Xiang turned her face to look at the Queen Mother, and said without raising her head: "How could it be? Aren't all these palace maids carefully selected by Sister Zhao? How can they not be taken care of? Could it be that Sister Zhao didn't choose her heart before?"

Zhao Kezhen's face stiffened for a while, clasped her teeth tightly, and stared at Chenxiang. Chen Xiang glanced at her and said with a smile: "I'm just joking, why does my sister look angry? Sister rest assured, with this princess here, she can naturally serve the queen mother." ”

If you say too much, you will lose, Zhao Kezhen didn't want to continue to entangle, so she pulled her skirt and walked out of the North Palace step by step.

Chen Xiang looked at Zhao Kezhen's back and snorted coldly.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw several palace maids pestle on the side like wooden stakes, and Chen Xiang frowned: "What are you still standing here?"

Several palace maids were assigned by Zhao Kezhen to stare at the Queen Mother, so they were naturally reluctant to retreat, and stared at Chen Xiang in a daze without speaking.

"This princess wants you to step down, are you all wood, what are you doing here?" Now, aren't they just a problem?

"Stand down, all of you. The Queen Mother said softly: "The mourning family wants to talk to the princess about family life." ”

Even the Queen Mother has spoken, and it seems too deliberate for them to continue to stand here. Although Zhao Kezhen had ordered them to monitor the Queen Mother before, she didn't ask them to do it so obviously! A few palace maids couldn't help it, you look at me, I look at you, they lowered their heads one after another, and slowly retreated.

"Really, all of them are very frivolous!" Muttered Miyaka.

The Queen Mother sighed, got up and took the heart food box from the table, which was full of sour plum preserves, candy seeds and other things, fruits.

"In the past, the queen mother didn't allow you to eat, and your father secretly ordered the dining room system to be given to you, but now that your father is gone, the queen mother thinks, he must not want to lose your mouth. From now on, the queen mother will not stop you, when you grow up, do whatever you like. The Queen Mother Nunu mouthed and said, "Taste it, has the taste changed?"

Chenxiang twisted a bayberry candied fruit and put it in her mouth, and a sweet and sour taste hit her taste buds. The taste is the same as before, but the thing is different. Now that I eat candied fruit, I don't have the sneaky excitement of hiding from my mother as a child, but I feel a little heavy.

The Queen Mother also twisted one and put it in her mouth, frowned and spit it out, and said, "It's so sour." ”

Chen Xiang spit out a bayberry kernel, quietly wiped her tears and said, "Queen Mother, you are so good to your daughter, why do you still treat the imperial sister-in-law like that?"

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, speechless for a long time.

"I heard Mother Zhong say that when the imperial sister-in-law was pregnant and her body was overwhelmed, you asked her to kneel in front of the palace. She's my second brother's first child in her belly, so why are you being so her? You weren't like that before. ”

Chenxiang's words were like a needle, and suddenly inserted into the heart of the queen mother.

"Queen Mother, you also feel sorry for the imperial sister-in-law. Chen Xiang leaned on the shoulder of the Queen Mother and said: "The imperial sister-in-law is the tip of the second brother's heart, and you are the closest person to the second brother, if you have a dispute with the imperial sister-in-law, don't you want to let half of the second brother fight with his other half? Besides, the imperial sister-in-law is so filial to you, why do you want to favor that Zhao Kezhen!"

Chen Xiang raised her head and fluttered a pair of big eyes: "Queen Mother, Zhao Kezhen has done a lot of evil, you can't just because she saved you once, you can't go to the evil she once did, right?"

Although the ruined palace has been demolished by the first emperor, what happened in the ruined palace will never be forgotten for the rest of her life.

"The scholar that Zhao Kezhen gave to her daughter is clearly the eldest son of Zhao Mansion. The queen mother, they not only did not care about their daughter's name, but also did not care about their daughter's safety. They concealed Zhao Shu's identity and sent him to the palace, who can guarantee that they didn't mean it? If it weren't for the coincidence of the Wei family's son, his daughter's life would be difficult to protect. ”

"These queen mothers know that the queen mother is because of ......" The queen mother gritted her teeth suddenly.

"Because of what?" asked Miyaka urgently, her eyes wide.

"Nothing. The Queen Mother's expression calmed down.

"Impossible, you obviously have something to say just now, how can it be okay?" Chen Xiang said tentatively: "Could it be that the queen mother really has any handle in Zhao Kezhen's hands?"

"Nonsense!" The Queen Mother stood up suddenly and walked silently to the window: "The Queen Mother is upright, what handle can she have?"

"That's weird. Chen Xiang muttered in a low voice and walked towards the queen mother: "If the queen mother has no handle, why should she listen to Zhao Kezhen's words? Looking at the queen mother's expression just now, the queen mother did not forget those things back then, and she also showed an indignant look, presumably dissatisfied with Zhao Kezhen for doing these things. Since the queen mother can't tolerate Zhao Kezhen, she should be cold to her, why should she endure her again and again?

The Queen Mother's lips trembled slightly, and she condensed the incense for a while. Without saying a word, he just took three sticks of sandalwood, lit them on the candle flame, and inserted them into the incense stick.

"Queen Mother's ......"

The Queen Mother lowered her face slightly and sighed: "You go." ”

Chen Xiang took a step forward: "Queen Mother, my daughter hasn't seen her mother for a long time, and I want to stay with my mother for a few days." ”

"Let's go, you still live in Cheng'an Palace, you don't see anyone who looks down and doesn't look up, why do you need to crowd together?" The Queen Mother folded her hands and bowed in front of the Bodhisattva.

The Bodhisattva lowered his eyelids and looked at the world.

The incense was not reconciled, so he also took three sticks of incense and bowed in front of the Bodhisattva. smiled and said: "Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, your old man must bless my mother, live a long life, and be safe." ”

She used to want to, but now she doesn't.

The Queen Mother glanced at her, took three sticks of incense from her hand, and inserted them in the incense ding: "You still don't want to go back?"

Chen Xiang looked at the Queen Mother, her eyes were a little inexplicable, and she smiled: "Queen Mother, my daughter has been separated from you for so long, so let my daughter accompany you, right?"

"If you want to accompany you, you come early tomorrow, and you don't have to live here, the queen mother has to recite Buddhist scriptures at night, and if you are noisy, I am afraid that the Bodhisattva will blame you. The Queen Mother stretched out her hand as she spoke, and pushed the incense out of the hall: "Let's go, don't delay the queen mother's recitation." ”
