The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 29

"Speaking of lotus pods, I heard that Lin Meiren went to the Red Leaf Pavilion to beg for iced lotus seed soup yesterday." Xu Lianyu gave Lin Yuezhi a malicious look, "It is said that the pregnant woman has strange tastes and a weird temper. The hall is full of ups and downs, and I can hear the noise even when I am in Liu Anju..."

"What's going on?" Yang Xuan cast a sideways glance at Lin Yuezhi, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you make trouble again?"

"My concubine has been wronged!" Lin Yuezhi hurried out from behind the table, knelt down with his hands on his waist, pointed to Hong Qiu and said, "It was hot yesterday, and I was a little dizzy when I walked near the Red Leaf Pavilion. If you are good at cooking, go in and beg for a bowl of iced lotus seed soup, who knows... Hong Qiu not only refuses to give it, she even made a mockery of my concubine..."

"Oh?" Yang Xuan poured a cup of sober tea by himself, blowing the hot air on the tea with downcast eyes.

It wasn't the first time this kind of thing happened, he heard it so much that his ears felt callused, and he wanted to see what was new today.

"His Royal Highness can testify!" Lin Yuezhi suddenly turned to look at Zhao Shuang, who was looking down at the fruit on the fruit plate, thoughtful.

Yesterday, the news that he punished Hongqiu to kneel had spread all over the back house. Lin Yuezhi wanted to tie himself into her boat, and his intentions were sinister.

If he defaulted to Hongqiu picking things up, then Hongqiu would be unlucky.If he didn't stand by Lin Yuezhi's side, Lin Yuezhi would reveal the fact that Hong Qiu was punished to kneel yesterday, and let himself be reprimanded by the prince.

Zhao Shuang absently picked up a piece of melon with two fingers, and didn't put it in his mouth for a long time.

"Princess, tell me." Yang Xuan glanced at the woman in Tsing Yi beside her.

"When my concubine rushed to the Hongye Pavilion, I saw Lin Meiren sitting on the main seat, and Hongqiu led the maids to kneel below." The beautiful woman in light blue Chinese clothes said slowly, "Miss Hongqiu really The words are rude, but it was Lin Meiren who provoked first."

Yang Xuan lowered his head and took a sip of tea, without looking at the woman kneeling below, "Since that's the case, you can deal with it."

Lin Yuezhi was still hesitating whether to shake off the matter of Hongqiu being punished to kneel yesterday, when she heard an immature female voice piercing the silent air.

"My lord!" A little servant girl suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to the Prince Regent, "My lord! This servant complains for Miss Hongqiu!"

Everyone turned their heads to look, and it was Songzhen, Hongqiu's maid, who was talking.

"I can't stop talking!" A woman in pink clothes hurriedly got up and grabbed the pine needles, but suddenly her legs gave way and she fell to sit on the table.

The cups, plates and wine cups on the table were overturned on the floor with a "clang bang".

Immediately, several little maidservants came in to clean up.

Everyone in the hall was startled for a moment, and then began to whisper.

Hong Qiu helped the little maid to stand firm, and the two went to the center of the banquet hall and knelt down, "It's Hong Qiu who is rude, please punish the prince and princess!"

The regent glanced at the cups and plates all over the floor, and frowned displeasedly, "What happened to your legs just now?"

Hongqiu has a good foundation in martial arts, how could she not even stand firm and make a fool of herself in front of so many people?

"Your maidservant was just inattentive for a while and fell down..." Hong Qiu lowered her head, not looking at the handsome man sitting on the seat.

"Miss Hongqiu was punished by the princess to kneel yesterday and hurt her knee!" The little maid beside her said hurriedly, regardless of Hongqiu's obstruction, "Miss's knee was already injured, and she knelt for an hour yesterday. She doesn't want to come today, but Miss Hongqiu said, today is the first banquet for the princess, so she must come."

As soon as the pine needle's voice fell, the room was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

All the concubines were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe, they just quietly looked at Hongqiu from the corner of their eyes, and then at Wangfei.

The expressions on the faces of these two people were all indifferent, as if they didn't care, but Lin Yuezhi gloated at Zhao Shuang.

snort!I told you that you didn't support me just now, so you're out of luck now, right?

"Oh? Kneeling for an hour? Hongqiu, tell yourself, what's going on?" Songzhen is only eleven or twelve years old, a little maid should not dare to lie in front of her, but Yang Xuan still doesn't believe it.

Zhao Shuang had never been harsh on the women in the back house, let alone corporal punishment, how could she make Hong Qiufei kneel down so well?

If it was because of jealousy, the eldest princess didn't seem to have any desire to possess her. Even Lin Yuezhi was pregnant, and she didn't feel any displeasure. How could she have trouble with a Hongqiu for no reason?

"Returning to the lord, it was the servant who misbehaved and offended the princess." Hong Qiu raised her head to look at Zhao Shuang, and said sincerely, "It's only natural for the princess to punish the servant to kneel."

Misconduct?Could it be because she followed Zhao Shuang a few days ago?I didn't expect this little girl to be so vengeful.

Seeing that Zhao Shuang remained silent with a cold face, Yang Xuan could only guess the reason randomly.

"Since the princess punished you, you accept the punishment. Be careful in the future, and don't make the princess angry again."

After the regent finished speaking, Hong Qiu opened her shocked eyes wide, and looked at the noble man in disbelief, "My lord... slave... slave accepts punishment!"

In fact, Yang Xuan's tone was not too harsh, but it already made the girl in pink feel dizzy and could hardly bear it.

Hong Qiu has been a secret guard by his side for many years, going through life and death for him many times.The prince has no doubts about employing people, and his guards have always been very good.

In the eyes of Hong Qiu, these women in the back house are just the prince's playthings, but he is someone the prince can entrust his life to, why would he reprimand himself for a plaything today?
It took a while for the other people present to understand.

What the lord meant was, let Hongqiu accept the punishment without asking innocence?Is there nothing wrong with the princess?
Over the years, the beauties in the mansion have suffered from Hongqiu's dumbness, but this time the sun really came out from the west.

"Princess, Hong Qiu has a knee injury, next time you punish her for something else..." Before the Regent could finish speaking, she was suddenly shocked by her eyes.

Lian Wu sneaked a glance at the kneeling Hongqiu, and then at the princess next to the prince.The wind on the lake blew, and the princess's blue sleeves fluttered, as if murderous.

Lian Wu was petrified and held her breath.

Yang Xuan also felt the murderous intent, and seeing the dead silence in the hall, he forked a piece of melon with a wooden stick and handed it to Zhao Shuang's mouth, saying softly, "Don't be angry, take a bite."

"Ahh!" Zhao Shuang ate the melon in one bite, but didn't look at Yang Xuan, she just said to the beauty kneeling below, "Get up, it's rare to celebrate the Shangsi Festival once, why make such a fuss? How about... Let's go boating on the lake together?"

In front of so many people, she had to give the Prince Regent some face, but she was really angry in her heart.

Yang Xuan felt strange, since he didn't provoke her, why didn't he even look at him?
"Yes!" Lin Yuezhi and Hongqiu stood up, gave each other a white look, and went downstairs with the help of the maid.

All the concubines went downstairs first, and selected a small boat to board one after another.

Only the regent and princess were left in the banquet hall, as well as a few servants and a long-haired dog.

Ruoji knew how terrible her master was when he was angry, and she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to chew a chicken bone when Xiang Fu threw it.
