After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

The third princess looked pale.

Is she innocent? Not at all.

Half of the personal maids, loyal eunuchs, and confidant guards around her were assigned to her by the queen mother.

As long as the queen mother speaks, those people dare not disobey.

she's done...

The third princess tightly pinched the handkerchief, her fingers began to tremble involuntarily.

The queen mother sat on the chair, while Gu Qing and the third princess knelt on the ground.

During this period of investigation, no one spoke again, and the room was eerily quiet, as if a needle could be heard falling on the ground.

About a quarter of an hour later, or longer, the nurse in charge of the queen mother finally came in, and said in a low voice:

"Several hidden guards around the third princess have indeed left the capital. It is impossible to find out whether they died or went outside the territory...

In addition, the two maids who served the princess personally told them that the princess sent them to inquire more about Princess Rongchang, and the two eunuchs told them,

In the past few days, the third princess summoned the hidden guards many times to do things... I have to ask those dark guards about what to do..."

The queen mother stopped her hand.

Her old man's face was clear, but the back of her hand was bruised.

As the biggest winner of the previous battle for the heir apparent, her scheming can be said to be unrivaled.

But she was actually cheated by her beloved three princesses.

"It's not like this..." The third princess opened her mouth to defend, "I inquired about Rongchang because I admire Rongchang and want to be a woman like Rongchang.

I summoned the dark guards to tell them to go outside the territory to find a birthday gift for Grandma Huang...Grandma Huang, I am your own granddaughter!I'm so innocent..."

The queen mother shook her head and interrupted her words: "A single coincidence can be regarded as a coincidence, but if there are too many coincidences, it becomes deliberate.

Bao'er, Aijia has always regarded you as the apple of his eye, and loved you since childhood, why did you deceive Aijia like this?Deception is small, but almost killing Rongchang is the big one. Tell me, why did you attack her? "

The three princesses broke down and cried.

She knew that even if there was no definite evidence, in the Queen Mother's mind, she had become a certain person behind the scenes.

She couldn't explain anymore, she just broke down and cried.

The Empress Dowager sighed: "You have nothing to say, so it means that this incident was indeed done by you. Fortunately, nothing serious happened, so I will punish you for half a year and think about it in the hall."

The third princess gasped.

Banned for half a year, this punishment is too heavy.

The most important thing is that if the whole capital knew that she was severely punished by the queen mother, no one would call her the most beloved three princesses anymore.

Gu Qing moved her stiff knee.

After kneeling for so long, she only got half a year of grounding. This punishment is too light for her.

Gu Qing has never dealt with the Queen Mother.

I'm also afraid that the queen mother will blindly favor the three princesses. From this point of view, the queen mother will also be reasonable. Of course, it is more about weighing the pros and cons.

She raised her head and said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for upholding justice, but I still want to know why the three princesses attacked me again and again...

The minister thought about it, it should be when he entered the palace and accidentally bumped into the third princess, the third princess might as well tell the minister's recklessness and disrespect, and the minister is willing to apologize to the third princess. "

The queen mother nodded: "Bao'er, you really should make this matter clear."

The handkerchief in the hands of the third princess was almost torn.

She raised her eyes slightly, and met Gu Qing's eyes, and she saw the sarcasm in Gu Qing's eyes.

Her heart was suddenly filled with anger, and she almost lost her composure and slapped her across the face.

But she couldn't, and she didn't dare to say in public that the reason why she hated Rongchang was firstly because Rongchang heard Nan Gongyi rejecting her, and secondly because of Nangong Yi's admiration for Rongchang.

The empress only had three children, and she was the third princess of Daliang. The empress once said that if she could not marry Nangong Yi, she would be sent to Xiliang to be married.

The children of the emperor's family enjoy the glory and wealth from birth, and they must give full play to their greatest value when they grow up. Even the three princesses who seem to be the most favored now cannot escape political sacrifices.

"I, I didn't target Rongchang..." The third princess lowered her head and bit her lower lip, "The first time Rongchang and I met was at the hunting party, Rongchang didn't have any chance to run into me, and I couldn't be right for a trivial matter." Rongchang will attack..."

Hearing this answer, Gu Qing was not surprised.

Daliang's economy needs Nangong Yi, the richest man, and Nangong Yi's status is destined to make it impossible to force a marriage. All this can only be won by the three princesses.

From this point of view, she can be regarded as having a handle on the third princess.

If we want to deal with the three princesses in the future, we can start from this aspect.

"Since that's the case," Gu Qing said, "Dare to ask why the princess has repeatedly killed me?"

The third princess bit her lower lip tightly.

But when things got to this point, she had to make up a reason, otherwise, she would not be able to pass the test of the Queen Mother.

She said in a low voice: "Grandma Huang, I know I'm wrong. I'm just jealous of Rongchang's ability to do everything. In the past, the Queen Mother praised me, but now she is the only one in her eyes... I was robbed of the Queen's favor by her. This is..."

"Rongchang, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I was wrong, and I will never do this kind of thing again!"

She knelt and crawled in front of the queen mother, crying pear blossoms with rain, extremely pitiful.

After all, the third princess is the queen mother's favorite person. When she cried like this, the queen mother's heart softened a little.

"The Ai family has to apologize to you." The queen mother took the third princess into her arms and sighed, "The third princess grew up beside the Ai family since she was a child, but the Ai family was so devoted to the Buddhist temple and neglected to discipline her that she committed a crime." Such a big mistake."

The Empress Dowager apologized in person, and Gu Qing didn't dare to stare at her, and hurriedly said: "I hope that the third princess will not violate the river water in the future."

"Come here." The Queen Mother said, "Bring up the box of jewelry from Ai's storeroom."

The palace servants were ordered to bring out a large box and uncovered it. It was full of gold, silver, jade and jewelry, so shiny that it was impossible to look directly at it.

"These are given to Rongchang to suppress the shock." The queen mother said, "This is the heart of Aijia, don't refuse."

Gu Qing glanced at it and could only kowtow to thank her.

After thanking him, he didn't stay any longer, and got up to say goodbye.

When she stood up suddenly, Gu Qing almost fell to the ground, her knees hurt like hell, and her legs didn't seem to belong to her.

Xia Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and the two slowly exited the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

As soon as they left, the third princess knelt down again: "Grandma Huang, I was wrong, but that bitch Rongchang hooked up with Brother Nangong! I really can't bear this tone.

Grandma Huang, I have known Brother Nangong since childhood, and Rongchang is just a country bitch..."

"What did you say?" The queen mother helped her up, "Rongchang and Nangong got mixed up? Didn't Rongchang already have five husbands?"

"It is precisely because of this that I am unwilling. Grandma Huang, as a princess of a country, I am no better than that country woman..." The third princess became more and more sad as she spoke. She couldn't say these words in front of Rongchang, but at this point, She must take the initiative to tell the queen mother everything.

The queen mother was so troubled by her that her head hurt: "Okay, don't cry. The Ai family will announce him into the palace tomorrow, and ask him carefully. If the Ai family doesn't believe him, he would rather go to the princess's mansion to be the sixth son than marry you.

But if this is the case, Bao'er, you have to make plans for yourself!Aijia is getting old, so he can't protect you for long. "
