Chunman Palace

Chapter 71
Concubine Min pretended to be calm, stepped forward to beg for peace and said: "The concubine sees the emperor and empress."

"What's wrong with Qianhe?" Xuan Yin asked briefly, frowning tightly and picked up the petite person from Lu'er, his face was full of worry, and he secretly blamed himself for not finding more people to take care of him, and then he didn't Joyfully raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Min.

Concubine Min panicked and said: "Your Majesty, Princess Qianhe ran to this rockery while the concubine was not paying attention. The concubine called the palace servants to pick up the princess, but who knew that the princess suddenly slipped and fell down... The concubine has already gone to call the imperial doctor It's gone." Concubine Min cast a glance at the villain in Xuan Yin's arms from the corner of her eye while she was speaking, complaining that she was hurting herself for no reason.

While speaking, Imperial Physician Liu rushed over.

"My minister sees..."

Xuan Yin's face was ashen, and he said sullenly: "Stop saluting, and see how Qianhe is doing! It can't be cured, I only ask you!"

"Yes, yes!" Doctor Liu put his hand on Princess Qianhe's veins, his face changed, and he quickly calmed down and exhaled, "Return to the emperor, empress, fortunately, it is only a skin trauma The princess is young, if it hurts her insides, I'm afraid she will go back to heaven! This minister will prescribe medicine for the princess."

The queen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the eldest princess lovingly and said, "Fortunately, the rockery is not too high. God bless, there are gods protecting the eldest princess!"

At this time, Concubine Lan rushed over with Lin Qingyu and Mu Pingting, and saw that the eldest princess's forehead was bright red, and she paused, her face turned ashen.

While Imperial Physician Liu was cleaning the wound and applying medicine to the princess, Concubine Min also calmed down, and said with a smile: "I don't need any gods to bless me, the emperor is the son of the real dragon, and the eldest princess has the protection of the emperor's dragon spirit, so it is natural Good fortune!"

Concubine Lan stepped forward at this time and said: "I don't know if the eldest princess is a god in heaven to protect my concubines, but the eldest princess fell from the rockery, it must be caused by persecution."

Xuan Yin looked at the person solemnly: "Concubine Lan, you must tell the truth when you speak, and don't talk nonsense."

Concubine Lan's eyes were firm, and she said earnestly: "Your Majesty, if what this concubine said is nonsense, you will know when the eldest princess wakes up and says it herself."

Concubine Min stared at him coldly, she didn't intend to look good to others anymore, she just asked sharply: "Concubine Lan's words are really strange, do you mean that someone will harm the Eldest Princess?"

"Sister Concubine Min, don't worry, I'm just suspicious." Concubine Lan said, she turned around and knelt down to Xuan Yin and said, "Your Majesty, this concubine once had a relationship with the princess, and the princess is really a well-behaved and sensible person." Good boy, I definitely won't run to the rockery for fun like Sister Min Concubine said! Something must have happened to frighten the eldest princess."

Concubine Min's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she wished she could directly goug out Concubine Lan's flesh. She sneered angrily: "Everyone at the banquet knew that the eldest princess was with the concubine, Your Majesty, Concubine Lan clearly meant to say that concubine Deliberately persecuting the eldest princess! How can the concubine endure such slander."

As she spoke, she stretched her head and ran towards the rockery.

Seeing that Concubine Min was about to splatter three feet with blood, Lu'er quickly caught up with Concubine Min and hugged Concubine Min, and the rest of the palace staff also hurriedly stopped in front of the rockery.

Concubine Min struggled violently and cried: "All of you, let me go! When has this palace been so humiliated? If the emperor listens to the villain's slander and misunderstands this palace again, I would rather die here to prove my innocence. , and I don’t want to be the emperor to be suspicious of my palace!”

Concubine Min's words were puns, both "little person" and "again", as if she acted frankly and frankly, and it was framed by others with bad intentions, which caused her to suffer great grievances.

Concubine Lan was not in a hurry to persuade people, but instead looked at him coldly and asked: "Sister Min Concubine, who are you referring to when you say the word villain?"

Concubine Min rolled her eyes back at Concubine Lan, gritted her teeth and said, "Ask knowingly."

The queen sighed again and again, and her words were quite reproachful: "Concubine Min, you are getting more and more foolish! Even if you want to prove your innocence, you don't have to be so extreme. The emperor hasn't spoken yet, why did you do such a stupid thing! Concubine It is a serious crime for a concubine to commit suicide."

Xuan Yin was still anxious at first, but after hearing what the empress said, he was so angry that he couldn't speak, his face darkened and looked at Concubine Min, and after a long time he said in a deep voice: "You know that self-inflicted suicide failed, and you can't save your life... Do this Didn't you think about the consequences beforehand?"

Concubine Min immediately stopped making noise after hearing this, and turned to sobbing and crying speechlessly.

The queen persuaded and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Min is also too hot-tempered... She is originally from the country, so she is not very familiar with the rules of the palace."

Xuan Yin's eyes were full of anger, and he reprimanded: "Concubine Min, you have been in Xuanming City for some years, why don't you know the rules in the palace?"

Lu'er stepped forward and knelt down, saying: "Your Majesty, our empress also cares too much about the Emperor's opinion, that's why I acted unwisely... Please forgive me!"

Xuan Yin said coldly: "The master is talking, if you, a slave, interrupt something, get out."

Lu'er trembled all over, and retreated timidly.

With tears in her eyes, Concubine Min choked with tears and said to Xuan Yin: "Your Majesty, this concubine really doesn't want to be framed again, I beg His Majesty to investigate clearly, this concubine never did such a vicious thing at all!" After finishing speaking, she immediately covered her chest, He took a deep breath and hissed.

Xuan Yin's heart trembled, remembering that Concubine Ye Min shielded herself from the sword, her eyes softened, and she said slowly: "Emperor Liu, go show Concubine Min how she is."

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Liu went to give Concubine Min the pulse again, and said after a while: "Back to the emperor, Concubine Min is just suffering from an old illness, and there is nothing serious about it, just don't be too emotional, otherwise I'm afraid you will get angry and lose your blood." , when Bian Que is still alive, it will be difficult to save him."

The queen was startled when she heard the words, and said in astonishment: "How could it be so... Sister Concubine Min's body is caused by the root cause of the disease last time?"

Xuan Yin's eyes were a little moved, and he murmured: "Concubine Min must take good care of her body, don't cry like this easily, today's matter has changed."

Only then did Concubine Min stop crying, her delicate face was trembling like a flower, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said: "The emperor must be the master for his concubines, and the crime of disrespect for Concubine Lan is the only one!"

Mu Pingting saw this farce in her eyes, she was clear in her heart, she just stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, Sister Lan Concubine is also too worried about the consolation of the eldest princess, so she is a little anxious, I hope the emperor will not blame Sister Lan Concubine too much .”

Knowing that she is close to Concubine Lan, Xuan Yin will definitely plead for mercy, but what happened today was that Concubine Lan's words were too much and almost caused a tragedy, so there is no way to escape this relationship.

He raised his eyes, turned his head to look at Lin Qingyu who was beside her, and asked, "What do you think, nobleman Qing?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Lin Qingyu's eyes, she raised her eyes to meet Xuan Yin's cold eyes, then quickly lowered her eyes, and said in a soft voice: "The concubine thinks that both Concubine Min and Concubine Lan are at fault for what happened today, sir. Everyone in the palace knew that the princess was taken care of by Concubine Min, and there was some inadequacy in the supervision; Concubine Lan added all the incidents of the eldest princess falling from the rockery to Concubine Min before the matter was investigated. It’s really not right about her body, but it’s also deeply loved and cared about.”

She changed the subject, and said again: "There must be too many things in the palace today, and the two ladies are tired, so it is inevitable that they will lose control of their emotions. But these are all the opinions of the concubine, and the emperor will decide everything."

Mu Pingting answered, "Sister Qingyu's words are not unreasonable. Today's palace affairs are complicated or too burdensome."

Xuan Yin said in a deep voice: "Master Qing, see things clearly and transparently, and I deserve this title for you. Concubine Min and Concubine Lan each fined their salaries for three months, and they should weigh it carefully before acting in the future."

Although Concubine Min was somewhat reluctant, she also bowed to Concubine Lan and said: "The concubine remembers the emperor's instruction."

At this time, Princess Qianhe coughed a few times, moved her eyelids, and woke up.

She looked at everyone in a daze, as if feeling pain in her head, she burst into tears.

Concubine Lan embraced her in her arms, stroked her back to comfort her, and asked kindly, "Qianhe, do you still remember what happened? How did you climb up the rockery?"

Qian He just blindly stretched out her small hand to wipe away her tears, crying unceasingly, her body trembling repeatedly.

Concubine Lan persisted and asked, "Qianhe, do you still remember what happened on the rockery?"

Concubine Min looked at Human dissatisfiedly and said, "Concubine Lan, the eldest princess just woke up, why do you keep asking these questions?"

Xuan Yin also said: "Concubine Lan, the eldest princess is young and ignorant, so don't ask her anything, maybe it's just Qianhe's fun and accidentally fell off the rockery."

As soon as these words came out, Qianhe cried even harder, murmuring something, she just put her little head on Lan Fei's body, and hugged her tightly with her little hands.

Lin Qingyu felt strange, she looked at Lan Fei with a bit of inquiry in her eyes, as if something was going to happen.Just as she was thinking, Mu Pingting suddenly tugged at the corner of her clothes, put an oiled paper bag into her hand, and gave the eldest princess another look.

She was startled, raised her sleeve to cover it up and sniffed, it was Ma Su Tang.

Could it be... Does Sister Mu want her to use this candy to coax the eldest princess?She intuitively felt that after coaxing the eldest princess, there must be other things going on.

She hesitated for a while, but then met Mu Pingting's urgent gaze, her heart froze, she bit her lip and walked forward, softly said: "Princess, look what this is? It's Ma Su Tang, this thing is sweet The crispy taste is so good, it won’t hurt after eating this.”

Princess Qianhe sniffed, stopped crying, looked at the oiled paper bag in her hand with red eyes, and asked in a waxy voice: "Really?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, princess, try it?" Lin Qingyu smiled and unwrapped the oil-paper bag, squeezed a piece of mochi candy and handed it over, the milky little hand took it and bit it lightly, and burst into laughter.

Concubine Lan also turned from worry to joy and said, "Does the princess like this?"

Princess Qianhe nodded, licked the sugar residue on her lips, and said, "Yes, I like it!"

Lin Qingyu smiled slightly and said, "Little Qianhe likes it, so give this bag of mochi candy to our little Qianhe, okay?"

Princess Qianhe shook her head suddenly and said: "No, my mother will also eat it." She took a piece from the oil-paper bag and was about to hand it to Lin Qingyu, but her hands were too small to reach it, so she hung tremblingly.

Lin Qingyu immediately took it with a smile, and said, "Xiao Qianhe is really smart and sensible, and I really like it." She lightly took a bite of the mochi candy, and said pleasantly, "It's really sweet."

The empress looked kindly, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Princess Qianhe likes noble people very much, which is rare." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Xuan Yin.

Seeing this situation, Xuan Yin's heart was inevitably moved, and he couldn't help saying kindly: "The Qing nobleman is still young, but he is very good at taking care of children."

Lin Qingyu replied humbly: "When I was in my hometown, I heard from the older generation that children prefer to play with children who are slightly older than themselves. Children bump into each other and cry, and they are coaxed with sweet things. It's enough to coax, the concubine looks mediocre, and she can't be called a big child anymore, but it's just taking advantage of this candy."

Xuan Yin was quite interested, and asked: "The hometown of the Qing nobleman...does he also use this crispy candy to appease the crying children?"

Lin Qingyu shook his head and said with a smile: "Where can the children of ordinary people eat candy? It's just that the adults picked the morning glory and ate the nectar inside, or it was azalea."

Xuan Yin was aroused, and was very interested, and asked: "Oh? Is this flower edible? What is the taste of azalea."

Lin Qingyu said: "My concubine used to eat it when I was young, it was sour and sweet, but I haven't tasted it for many years, I forgot the taste."

Princess Qianhe's eyes sparkled, she stopped eating candy, and only said, "Azalea...I want to eat it too."

Concubine Min disdainfully said: "How can you enter that kind of vulgar wild flowers, princess don't like that kind of things that only the country pariahs like, you will lose your status as a princess."

Concubine Lan glared at her and said, "Concubine Min speaks too harshly!"

Concubine Min looked sideways at the man, her face full of sarcasm: "Although the words are harsh, they are honest words that hurt the ears. If the daughter of the princess is addicted to such frivolous things by this noble person, wouldn't it be ridiculous and disrespectful to the royal family?" face."

"Every flower is in everyone's eyes. There is no distinction between high and low in people's favorites. It's like this crispy candy. Some people find it sweet, while others find it dry and sticky. Why bother to fight for right or wrong?" The queen said quite a bit. There is anger.

Xuan Yin said in a deep voice: "What the queen said is true, don't make such a small matter bigger."

Princess Qianhe glanced at Concubine Min, and suddenly started crying again.

Mu Pingting worried: "What happened to the princess?"

Seeing this, Concubine Min panicked, worried that Xuan Yin would blame herself again, and hurriedly stepped forward to make amends: "It's Madam Min's fault, princess, don't cry, there are many delicious cakes in Madam Min's palace, which are more delicious than this one." The halva is much better, how about giving it to the eldest princess?"

Princess Qianhe cried even harder, pointing at Concubine Min said: "It hurts, it hurts..."

Concubine Lan caressed the person's back and asked softly: "Did the princess remember something? Don't worry."

Princess Qianhe sobbed: "Miss Min... pushed Qianhe! Mistress Min pushed Qianhe! Father, I feel pain!"

Xuan Yin's expression changed suddenly, and he asked, "Qianhe, what are you talking about, Concubine Min pushed you down from the rockery?"

Qian He cried "Mmm", and was comforted by Lan Fei in her arms.

Concubine Min felt like she was facing a formidable enemy, she panicked and was about to fall to the ground. She stared at this villain in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "You are lying! Who taught you to say that! When did Bengong push you?" It's too young to be full of lies!"

Xuan Yin's expression was stern, the veins on his forehead were bulging, his eyes were gloomy and terrifying, and there was a thunderbolt in an instant, and he scolded angrily: "You are still sophistrying now, she is only four years old, can she lie?!"
