The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 285
On the palace road, Lu'er lowered her head slightly, her eyes were fixed on the ground, she didn't dare to move, lest she would make a mistake.

Although it was cool in autumn, because she was too nervous, the clothes on her back were soaked in cold sweat, and it was uncomfortable to stick to her back, which made her even more nervous.

As a member of the Longevity Palace, Lu'er knew that as soon as she opened her mouth, Zi Yan would recognize her voice, but she couldn't keep avoiding the answer, it would make people even more suspicious.

So, when Zi Yan asked the second time, Lu'er deliberately lowered her voice: "I"

"Zi Yan—"

As soon as Lu'er uttered a word, Chen Linshen's call came from the gate of the hall.

Zi Yan withdrew her gaze from Lu'er, turned to look at Chen Linshen: "What is the order of the county king?"

"Come here, I have something to ask you." Chen Linshen waved to Zi Yan.

After Ziyan walked over, Chen Linshen looked at Xie Yuan again: "Xie Silang, aren't you going to send Miss Cui back to the house? Hurry up and leave.

"Go early and come back early, I still have something to see you."

Xie Yuan said yes, and signaled Cui Hengyue to get in the car.

Seeing this, Zi Yan yelled: "Wait—"

Immediately, she said to Chen Linshen: "Since the county king has something to do with the guard Xie, let's talk about it now, and I will send Cui Yuanniang back to the mansion."

"No, I have something to ask you now." Chen Linshen rejected her proposal.

Zi Yan was a little flustered, and in a hurry, she blurted out: "Xie the guard, don't leave, I will discuss things with you after the county king finishes asking."

Cui Hengyue's heart sank, and she looked at Chen Linshen.

It happened that Chen Linshen looked over, his eyes were facing each other, and there seemed to be a flash of fire, just looking at each other, it was like fighting thousands of times.

Xie Yuan's indifferent voice suddenly sounded: "I am sending Cui Yuanniang out of the palace by His Majesty's order. Lady Ziyan is sure she wants me to disobey the imperial decree. Are you waiting here?"

"." Zi Yan didn't dare to answer, so she looked at Chen Linshen, hoping that he would ask Xie Yuan to stay.

However, Chen Linshen raised his hand and waved it irritably: "Since you have received the imperial decree, why don't you hurry up?"

This time, without waiting for Xie Yuan to speak, Cui Hengyue got into the carriage first, and then urged Lu'er: "Come up soon?"

Shui Rong gently pushed Lu'er: "Get in the car."

Lu'er came back to her senses and quickly got into the carriage, followed by Shui Fu and Shui Rong.

Xie Yuan jumped onto the shaft of the chariot, grabbed the reins, and waved the whip: "Drive—"

The carriage galloped away and disappeared at the end of the palace road in a short while.

Zi Yan was annoyed, and asked Chen Linshen tentatively: "The king of the county, does the king know who the court lady who left with Cui Yuanniang just now is?"

"My people." Chen Linshen said lightly.

Zi Yan was stunned for a moment, it turned out to be a member of Changshan County King?
However, why did the people of Changshan County King leave the palace with Cui Hengyue?

wrong--

Ziyan raised her head and looked at Chen Linshen: "Since you are the prince of the county, why do you wear the clothes of a court lady?"

Chen Linshen glanced at her meaningfully, turned his head and entered the palace gate.

"."

Ziyan was at a loss, is Changshan County King angry?
"You girl is so ignorant."

Song Mu glared at Zi Yan angrily: "The king of the county"

Suddenly realizing that there were people around, he took a few steps towards Zi Yan, lowered his voice and said: "The county king is a noble man, if the news about his liking for low-level court ladies is spread, how will the people think of the county king?
"As a member of the Longevity Palace, you don't want to suppress this matter, but you are yelling here, do you want to discredit the county king?"

Zi Yan turned pale, and quickly said: "I didn't mean that, I... I didn't know about it"

"Now that you know it, why don't you deal with it quickly?"

Under Song Mu's glaring gaze, Zi Yan waved to the person she had brought: "Come here."

After they came over, Zi Yan ordered solemnly: "What happened just now is rotten in my stomach, and I am not allowed to say a word, do you understand?"

The two looked stunned, and said respectfully: "Yes."

After dealing with it, Ziyan asked Songmu again: "The king of the county just said he wanted to ask me something, why did he leave without asking?"

Song Mu said angrily: "The king of the county wants to see His Majesty, do you think it is more important to see His Majesty or to ask you?"

Naturally seeing that His Majesty is important, Zi Yan did not speak again.

"You wait here, the king of the county will come out later." Song Mu left these words and entered the gate of the palace.

Not long after, Chen Linshen came out.

He didn't even look at Zi Yan who was waiting at the door, he just said "Let's go" and walked towards the Longevity Palace.

Zi Yan hurriedly followed.

On the way, after Chen Linshen asked Zi Yan a few questions, he never spoke again.

After entering the Longevity Palace, Chen Linshen went directly to see the Queen Mother, but his father had already left.

Seeing Zi Yan and Chen Linshen coming in together, the Queen Mother was slightly surprised: "Zi Yan, why are you with Prince Changshan?"

"I..." Zi Yan faltered, unable to tell the truth that Songmu told her in front of Chen Linshen.

Chen Linshen bowed to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, let me do the talking."

Afterwards, Chen Linshen looked at the palace servants in the hall, but did not speak.

The Empress Dowager understood, and ordered: "You all go down."

When there were only the two of them left in the hall, Chen Linshen revealed a shameful expression: "Aunt, my nephew made a mistake, and I ask my aunt to come down."

Everyone knows that Changshan County King is very heroic, clean and self-disciplined, he is a good helper to the regent, and he hardly makes any mistakes when doing business.

Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he came to plead guilty, did he make some big mistake?
The queen mother frowned suddenly: "What did you do?"

Chen Linshen didn't hide it, and said directly: "I drank too much wine during the Mid-Autumn Festival yesterday, and I didn't know where I went when I went to the Lantern Festival. I bumped into a palace lady in a daze, so I just..."

The words stopped abruptly.

The queen mother was so angry that she slapped the table: "Ridiculous! What about the people around you? Why didn't they stop you then?"

"I didn't let them follow." Chen Linshen lowered his head even lower.

The Empress Dowager looked at him, wanted to get angry but couldn't, finally withdrew her hand and suppressed the anger in her heart: "Whose palace is that maid working in? What's her name?"

"It's a maid in Su Taifei's palace, called Jinchai."

"You don't need to worry about this matter. I'll ask Concubine Su for someone, and I'll send someone to your house tomorrow, but you have to remember, it's not an example."

"Thank you, aunt."

After thanking you, Chen Linshen continued: "Auntie, I just made my own claim and told Concubine Su about this matter, and asked her for the golden hairpin.

"I was afraid that the news would damage my father's reputation, so I asked Cui Yuanniang to help me bring the gold hairpin out of the palace."

what?
"Oh!"

The queen mother was so angry that she patted the table and stood up: "You let Cui Hengyue take the gold hairpin out of the palace, aren't you afraid that Cui Hengyue will leak this matter and ruin the reputation of the regent and you?"

Chen Linshen lowered his head: "I asked someone to disguise Jinchai, and then told Cui Yuanniang that she was a girl from my mansion, because she secretly followed me into the palace for fear of being punished, so I asked her to help take her out of the palace.

"Auntie, don't worry, Cui Hengyue is not familiar with the people in the palace, she will never recognize that it is the golden hairpin, and she will never know what happened yesterday."

Seeing the empress dowager's anger fading away, Chen Linshen suddenly knelt down: "Auntie, what happened yesterday was my fault, if you want to be beaten or punished, I have nothing to say.

"It's just that if my father knows about this, he will definitely be disappointed with me. Please don't tell my father about this."

Facing Chen Linshen's pleading eyes, the Empress Dowager's heart softened. After all, she had watched the child grow up, but she made a small mistake, and there was no need for the regent to know.

"Okay, I promise you yes, get up."
