Chapter Ninety-Eight: The First Battle

The atmosphere in the Changqiu Palace was very strange for a while, no one spoke, and then the palace maids in the main hall suddenly knelt on the ground one after another.

"How can the girl be so careless," Ruolan looked at Nian Nian with a frightened face, and muttered, "This thing is priceless, Queen Mother, it's not about slaves." ”

Nian Nian was very stunned, obviously she had just stretched out her hand, and before she could take it, Ruolan had already let go, but at this time she blamed her for not catching it, it was really the wicked who sued first.

"Hairy things, this thing has been given to the princess in this palace, you accidentally broke the princess's things, how many heads can you afford to pay for?" The queen mother scolded Nian Nian sharply, "Come on, don't pull this lawless slave out and slap your mouth!"

"Wait!" Zhen Yu snorted softly, and the palace maid who came forward couldn't stop pausing after seeing her slightly angry face. Zhenyu turned to the queen and said softly: "Niangniang, since you have already said that you gave this thing to me, can Zhenyu dispose of it by yourself?"

The Queen Mother nodded slightly.

"Although she broke my things, I don't think she has a heart, maybe it was because she was too nervous when she first saw Niangniang's heavenly posture and missed it for a while, and I begged Niangniang to forgive her. ”

The queen mother snorted coldly, and said with a smile, "What does the princess mean is that the things sent by the palace are not valuable, and a slave maid said that they would be broken?"

"Queen Mother," Nian Nian said eagerly, "it's not that I didn't catch the jade plate, it's obvious that Ruolan let go of her hand before she gave it to me." ”

Zhu Mei was shocked when she heard this, and wanted to hold her, but unfortunately it was too late.

"Presumptuous!" the queen mother was furious, "Do you mean that the people in the palace deliberately did not want to give this soul stone to the princess, and even did not hesitate to break it?

Nian Nian was shocked, and subconsciously felt that she had said the wrong thing, she suddenly remembered the smile on the corner of Ruolan's mouth, and understood that she was deliberately embarrassing herself, but she had no grievances with her, and the reason why she could do this could only be to target Zhenyu.

Thinking about this clearly, Nian Nian looked at Zhenyu with an apologetic face, her face was really ugly at the moment.

"It seems that Niangniang is not going to let go of my maid, so according to Niangniang's intentions, how should it end at this time?" Zhenyu got up, her face seemed to be covered with a cold veil, and her body was covered with cold, and her speech was no longer so polite.

The queen mother was also slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect Zhenyu to openly offend her for a maid. Immediately sneered in his heart, he is still too young, but I just want to use this maid to slap you in the face, this is the palace of the night, even if you are capable, you don't want to make any waves in my hands!

She raised her eyebrows: "The state has national laws, and the palace has palace rules." This palace maid smashed the treasures, did not do things well, failed to fulfill her duty and tried to shirk her responsibility, disrespectful to the palace, the following offenses, should be put to death, but for the sake of the princess's face, the death penalty can be avoided but the living crime is not escaped, so she will beat her with thirty boards, and slap her mouth twenty to set an example. ”

Zhen Yu stepped forward, "Niangniang, this is my maid, even if I want to deal with it, I will deal with it, if Niangniang insists on this, it seems that I don't take Baimo in my eyes." Today I will put the words here, with me, no one wants to touch her, I want to see, who dares to move the people who the palace wants to protect!" Zhen Yu glared at the palace people in front of him, although he said this to the next person, but everyone knew that it was said to the queen, and it was completely a slap in the queen's face.

And Zhenyu didn't have the slightest intention of hiding it, originally she didn't want to offend the queen so early, let alone let the queen test her bottom line and methods. But since they appeared, the queen has been provoking again and again, she could not have been concerned with her, but who knew that she actually hit the idea on Nian Nian, and when things came to this point, Zhenyu really didn't want to endure it anymore.

Zhenyu has been loved by Emperor Baimo since she was born, and her status is noble, but because of this, she has been excluded by other sisters in the palace since she was a child, although she is relatively close to several brothers, but this can't be to the point of saying nothing, and the royal family is deceitful and uses each other, and there is no one around Zhenyu who can treat each other sincerely, until she meets Nian Nian and Zhu Mei.

These two girls, who look the same age as her, have a simple and kind temperament, and they are very close to her, although they have not known her for a long time, they can treat her sincerely. For the first time in her life, Zhenyu realized that she had a friend, as early as Nian Nian and Zhu Mei still treated her with sincerity after learning that she was a princess, and did not have the slightest idea of using her identity, Zhenyu secretly decided in her heart that she must do her best to protect the two of them.

So today, Zhenyu is not willing to give in because the queen wants to dispose of her maid and make her lose face, but because the person the queen wants to deal with is Nian Nian, and Zhen Yu will not let Nian Nian get hurt no matter what.

When the queen saw Zhenyu's reaction so strong, she didn't expect it, she got up from the chair, and before she could speak, she heard a crisp sound.

The long sleeves of Zhenyu fell, and everyone saw Ruolan, who was kneeling on the ground, had a red slap mark on her face at this moment. Zhenyu sneered:

"Shameless and skinless minion, obviously he didn't hold the things, but slandered my maid, I think you really don't want to live, is this how the queen mother taught you how to be hospitable? If this matter is declared, won't it make the world laugh at the virtue of the queen mother, and you have enough heads to cut off such a felon!" After saying that, he raised his hand, and a palm print was also printed on the other half of Ruolan's smooth face.

Zhenyu's face was full of fierceness at the moment, and he was so frightened that all the palace maids didn't dare to step forward.

The queen mother was a little stunned, "You, you dare to hit the people of this palace?"

"If there is a mistake, it should be punished, Zhenyu will do it for you, naturally I am afraid that she will ruin Niangniang's reputation and virtue, could it be that Niangniang thinks that the prestige of the Night Empire and your reputation are irrelevant, but you have to blame Zhenyu for acting recklessly?"

The queen mother looked at her, suddenly smiled kindly, and then said sharply to Ruolan: "Don't admit your mistake to the princess, and then get out quickly! The princess has a good temper, but she just gave you two slaps, if it is this palace, take care of your skin!"

Ruolan covered her face and apologized before leaving in a panic.

The queen mother turned to Zhenyu affectionately: "The minions are not sensible, why should the princess be angry, it is autumn now, it is the time when it is easy to get angry, come here, don't serve tea to the princess, let the princess dissipate her anger!"

Seeing that the queen no longer pursued Nian Nian's faults, and reprimanded Ruolan for giving herself the stairs, she smiled and said: "Niangniang, Zhenyu is young and ignorant, so she laughs." ”

"It's nothing," the queen looked at the rubble on the ground, and said with a regretful face: "It's just that there is only one such a good soul stone in the palace, and it's a pity that I can't give it to the princess." ”

At this time, Nian Nian suddenly spoke: "Don't worry, the queen mother, I can restore this soul stone to its original state." ”

Everyone turned their eyes back to Nian Nian, and the queen also looked her up and down: "What can you do? The form and appearance in this soul stone are not real, but the soul stone has been transformed by itself over the years, once the soul stone is broken, the essence that has been condensed inside will run away, how can you restore it?"

Everyone looked at the broken stones on the ground, and saw that the delicate and small pink lotus inside had long disappeared, and the original crystal transparent surface had begun to become turbid at this moment, but I was afraid that it would not be long before it would completely turn into ordinary gravel.

Nian Nian frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Although I can't seal the original lotus flower into the soul stone, I can seal the other flowers back into it," she looked around and smiled sweetly at the queen mother: "However, I still need the mother to lend me the row of chrysanthemums under the corridor in the courtyard." ”

Now it is the height of autumn, the chrysanthemums are blooming just right, and the chrysanthemums in the Changqiu Palace are the new products cultivated by the flower room, the queen glanced at the flowers that bloomed wantonly, and wondered: "Do you want to seal the essence of the chrysanthemum into it?" But this soul stone has been broken, and the magical effect in it has disappeared. ”

Nian Nian nodded, "I know this, but please ask the queen mother to let me give it a try." ”

"Since you insist on doing so, then the palace will send someone to move them to the pear garden, but you have to think about it, in case you say something crazy, you will lose the face of your princess. ”

Nian Nian smiled slightly, "I don't have to worry about this for the queen." After three days, the soul stone will be presented every year. ”

When they came out of the Changqiu Palace, they all gasped heavily.

"The thought that I will be here from now on, facing this old woman every day, makes me feel annoyed. Zhen Yu muttered in a little angry voice, "But she can't get cheap, if she dares to hit my people, I dare to hit her people directly, hum!"

"It's all my fault, I didn't expect that Ruolan to look nothing, but she had a bad stomach. "Every year I was a little depressed.

"Forget it, it's all over, but why did you take the queen's words in the end, are you sure to repair the soul stone?" asked Nian Nian with a worried face.

"Forget about it every year, don't think about it, I'll send someone to inquire around, although the soul stone is precious, it's not unsold. I asked Lao Hao to get a soul stone with chrysanthemums in it, and said that you made it up, so isn't that okay?"

Nian Nian shook his head, "If I don't say that, I'm afraid that this matter can't be left like this today." In the end, we are at fault, if I can restore this soul stone, then the queen will not dare to make things difficult for us again, as for whether I can succeed, I can't say, but I always feel that there is a trace of strange power in this soul stone, I am somewhat familiar with this, so I want to try it. ”

Seeing this, Zhu Mei and Zhen Yu didn't say anything more.

The first battle between the queen and the jade is temporarily over, but the final result depends on whether the broken soul stone can be repaired every year. The news in the palace has been spreading very quickly, and now up to the emperor's concubines, down to the palace maids and eunuchs, everyone is waiting with interest to see Nian Nian's actions, and Nian Nian has returned to Liyuan, commanding a group of palace maids to send several large pots of flowers and broken soul stones to their own rooms, and then closed the door, and did not come out again until the end of the day.
