Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Luo Chengjing nodded secretly, and said, "Get up."

Huo Shen thanked him and stood up when he heard Luo Chengjing ask him if he knew how the fourth princess fell into the water?
Huo Shen heard the words and glanced at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess had been staring at Huo Shen since Huo Shen came in, and now she was looking at Huo Shen with warning and nervousness in her eyes.

How could Huo Shen's glance be hidden from the three empress dowagers sitting at the top?

The Empress Dowager sighed inwardly, and said to Huo Shen in a soft tone, "You don't have to worry about it, just say what you see."

"Yes." Huo Shen replied, he really didn't care about anything else, and said bluntly: "The grass people saw that it was the eldest princess who pushed the fourth princess into the lake."

Although Huo Shen is the only legitimate son of Uncle Guangping's mansion, but because Uncle Guangping didn't invite him to be his son, Huo Shen can only call himself a grassroots man in front of the Queen Mother and others.

As soon as Huo Shen finished speaking, the eldest princess jumped up.

"You're talking nonsense. I saw Si Huangmei was about to fall and reached out to grab her, but I couldn't catch her in time."

After finishing speaking, the eldest princess bit her lip and looked at Luo Chengjing and the queen mother, and said, "Father, emperor grandmother, you believe me, I really didn't push Si Huangmei."

Seeing that the Queen Mother and the others looked at her silently, the Eldest Princess anxiously said to Luo Chengjing: "What I said is true. Father, how could I push the Fourth Imperial Sister into the lake? It's all Huo Shen who slandered me." !Father, hurry up and have someone pull down this nonsense thing that slanders me."

Luo Chengjing shook his head in disappointment, ignored the eldest princess, but looked at Huo Shen, and asked in a deep voice: "Is what you said true? You must know that lying in front of me is a crime of deceiving the emperor, and you will be sentenced to death." of the head?"

Huo Shen nodded and said: "The grass people know that the grass people dare not slander the eldest princess. When the eldest princess reached out to push the fourth princess, the grass people just came around from behind the rockery, so they could see clearly."

Luo Chengjing also believed that Huo Shen was not lying, so he nodded to let Huo Shen go down first, then stared at the eldest princess with a sullen face and said, "Yan'er, what else do you have to say?"

"I..." The eldest princess looked at Luo Chengjing's face, and I finally lowered my head to avoid Luo Chengjing's sight.

"Yan'er, why did you do this?" The queen mother said, "Chun'er is so young, and she is your sister, how could you do such a thing?"

The eldest princess wants to say: She can't understand how the empress dowager and the emperor only see the fourth princess as a treasure.They are both the daughters of the royal father, but the royal father never treats her like the fourth princess.

The fourth princess was still so young, so her father gave her gemstones and a precious warm jade bracelet, but what about her?What did the emperor give her?

Even Huo Shen, when he talked to him by himself, he would ignore it with a straight face, but he was very happy to accompany the fourth princess to do those boring and simple things.

To put it bluntly, she is just jealous, jealous that the fourth princess is more favored and liked than her.

Therefore, when she saw the lake in the garden of Shou'an Palace, she became malicious, and deliberately proposed hide-and-seek, and then found an opportunity to trick the fourth princess to the lake behind the rockery, and pushed the fourth princess down.

She has seen the ice in the lake, it is very thin, the fourth princess will definitely fall into the ice, the ice will definitely shatter, and the fourth princess will definitely fall into the ice hole.

When the palace people heard the voice and rushed over, the fourth princess would lose half of her life even if she didn't die, but who would have thought that Huo Shen, who was supposed to be waiting in the distance, came quietly and rescued the fourth princess so quickly.

The worst thing was that he saw himself pushing the fourth princess into the water.

However, in the end, the eldest princess just admitted her mistake with tears and said: "The granddaughter was confused for a while, grandma, granddaughter will definitely not be like this again in the future, grandma will spare her this time."

The eldest princess was crying pitifully, but when the queen mother thought of the fourth princess's wet and crying appearance just now, she couldn't soften her heart towards the eldest princess.

What's more, the imperial doctor also said that although the fourth princess was rescued in time, the fourth princess was still young and weak, and the water was too cold, and the fourth princess would probably have a fever when she turned around.

The Queen Mother shook her head, and said to Luo Chengjing with a tired face: "Your Majesty, you can deal with it."

When the eldest princess heard the Queen Mother's words, she hurriedly cried, "Father..."

Luo Chengjing looked at the eldest princess coldly, and said unmoved: "You are so young, you have such vicious thoughts, if I don't teach you a lesson, you don't know how many evil things you will do in the future."

"Because you are still young, I will punish you ten boards and ground you for one year."

After Luo Chengjing finished speaking, he looked at Lu Wanning, and asked Lu Wanning's opinion: "My concubine, is it feasible for me to deal with this?"

Lu Wanning is the biological mother of the fourth princess, and also his favorite concubine, Luo Chengjing's question is also for Lu Wanning's face.

According to what the eldest princess did, Lu Wanning would strangle her to death, so she naturally felt that Luo Chengjing's punishment was a bit light.

But the eldest princess is Luo Chengjing's daughter after all, and she can't directly tell Luo Chengjing that she wants the eldest princess to die.

After thinking about it, Lu Wanning said: "The emperor's treatment is very fair, and the concubine has no objection, but the concubine thinks that the emperor should let the eldest princess copy Buddhist scriptures on weekdays, so as to grind the eldest princess' temper."

Lu Wanning's proposal was not too much, Luo Chengjing agreed after hearing it, and then added the item of copying Buddhist scriptures to the punishment just mentioned.

The eldest princess was frightened when she heard that she was going to be boarded. She is a princess. From birth to now, let alone being boarded, no one has touched her even with a finger.

Thinking of the little maid she had accidentally seen who was beaten with a board by her mother and concubine, her skin was torn apart and her flesh was bruised, the eldest princess cried even more.

She cried and begged for mercy: "Father, please, don't beat me up. I will never be jealous of the fourth sister again. Huh... I really don't dare, Father..."

Luo Chengjing turned a deaf ear, waved his hand, and said, "Didn't you hear what I said? Take the eldest princess down and beat me hard!"

The little eunuch on the side was about to go to pull the eldest princess when she heard the words, when Concubine Jing rushed in, hugged the eldest princess, knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is still young, even if she did something wrong What, you can just teach her a few words, how can you let someone beat her? She is still so young, how can she stand it? You are killing her?"

When Concubine Jing first heard that the fourth princess had fallen into the water in Qingren Palace, she gloated and thought that it would be better if she drowned, but after hearing that it was related to the eldest princess, Concubine Jing hurried over.

It's just that she received the news a little later than Lu Wanning and Luo Chengjing.

She rushed to Shou'an Palace in a hurry, but as soon as she came in, Luo Chengjing had someone pull the fourth princess down to beat the board.
