Chapter 15 It’s because of him
Chapter 15 It’s because of him
Aunt Cui was startled and kept kowtowing, saying, "I dare not hide it. The whip marks were indeed caused by beatings, but there was a reason. The second young lady ran out and climbed onto the prince's bed."
"It is disgraceful and disgraceful, so the Grand Master ordered him to be whipped and admonished."
The Queen Mother also heard about this and asked coldly: "What about the other things besides the whip marks?"
Aunt Cui was speechless for a moment.
She really couldn't imagine that Shen Zhuoxi would dare to show his scars in front of the Queen Mother!
Seeing that she was silent, the Queen Mother turned to Shen Zhuoxi, with a bit of pity in her eyes: "Tell the Ai family, who else hit you?"
"A lot." Shen Zhuoxi seemed to be scared, winced and said, "Hit me all."
The queen mother and the nanny beside her looked at each other and said, "Guirong, take the second lady down to check if there are any other marks on her body."
The Queen Mother has seen many tricks in the palace, and understands that Aunt Cui's words must be false. She kept a cold face and said nothing, and the room was so quiet that you could hear the ringing of needles.
What broke the silence was the sharp voice of the little eunuch at the door: "His Royal Highness King Yu is here."
After his mother and concubine passed away, Jing Muling stayed under the name of the Queen Mother, who was still a concubine, for several years. The Queen Mother treated him as if he were her own flesh and blood, and he still respected the Queen Mother these years.
Jing Muling was supported by a servant and walked slowly to the Queen Mother to salute.
"No need to be polite." The Queen Mother paused and asked casually: "You can't see and have difficulty moving. You just sent greetings to the Ai family yesterday. If you have anything to do, you can just ask the servant to come over. Why do you need to come in person?"
Jing Muling's eyes were empty and focused on the Queen Mother's face: "The Queen Mother said yesterday that she wanted to find a concubine for my son. I thought about it carefully when I went back."
"Have you figured it out?" The Queen Mother was overjoyed and said, "You are already twenty-five years old, it's time to get married."
"No." Jing Muling shook her head slightly and said, "The imperial doctor said that there is no chance that my eyes will recover. If I get married now, it will only delay the girl."
"Nonsense, you are a prince, and it is their blessing to marry you." The Queen Mother pretended to be angry: "The late Emperor had three or four children at your age, so you won't get married."
"After the Ai family, how do you go to the spring to meet your mother, concubine, and the emperor?"
Jing Muling wanted to speak, but the Queen Mother took his hand and said involuntarily: "Okay, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has selected a few, and you happen to be here. The Ai family will tell you."
"Wei Zhiting, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace, Yu Shuqin, the second daughter of the Earl's Palace, and Qin Yueyao, the second daughter of the Bachelor's Palace, are all top-notch in talent and appearance. Do you like any of them?"
"Speaking of talent and learning." Jing Muling pretended to be regretful and said: "Master Shen has a high moral integrity and unparalleled character. The daughter he taught is very good. I wonder if she will get married?"
The Queen Mother was stunned, and then said with regret: "Master Shen only has two legitimate daughters. The eldest lady and the prince have a close personal relationship. The emperor intends to grant marriage. The remaining one is only thirteen and is not the right age."
"That's wrong." Jing Muling frowned, as if remembering something, and said, "I remember that Master Shen and Princess Xiaoqing have a daughter who is just the right age..."
The Queen Mother remembered Shen Zhuoxi's appearance and shook her head. As soon as she refused, Nanny Guirong helped her out.
Shen Zhuoxi saw Jing Muling next to the Queen Mother at a glance.
Orchid and jade trees, the scenery is full of moonlight, and the crescent-white brocade robe outlines his lean and upright figure, revealing his innate nobility, as noble and elegant as the white snow on the mountains.
A pair of star-like eyes seemed to be looking at her, but they seemed not to.
The point is, she actually feels a little familiar? !
The sound of Sister Guirong saluting brought her thoughts back. She lowered her head and heard Sister Guirong reply to the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, the second lady is like this all over her body."
"He's as thin as firewood, and his ribs are covered with skin. It's shocking to see. I'm afraid it's because he hasn't eaten well for a long time."
The Queen Mother looked at Shen Zhuoxi's awkward clothes and had no time to talk to Jing Muling. She laughed angrily and said, "Shen Heshan is such a courageous dog. The Ai family asked him to take him back and take care of him, but he dared to disobey it!"
"Come to see the Ai family, what kind of clothes are you wearing? Do you think the Ai family is old and can't keep up with their words, so they don't take the Ai family seriously?!"
"The Queen Mother, please calm down." Grandma Cui secretly thought that it was not good, and quickly followed what Grandma Hua had told her, and said: "The Grand Master and the First Lady are very kind to the Second Young Lady, but it is the Second Young Lady who is going crazy on her own."
"Not only is it hurtful, but he often throws away the food. The same goes for clothes. No matter how decent the clothes are, they will be torn in less than a day of wear. Today's audience is in a hurry and there is no time to tailor the clothes, so I can only wear the new clothes I have in the house."
The Queen Mother frowned, doubtful: "Seriously?"
Aunt Cui's voice trembled slightly as she insisted: "It's absolutely true, I don't dare to deceive the Queen Mother!"
Seeing this, Aunt Guirong leaned over and said in the Queen Mother's ear: "I just tested the Second Young Lady a few times. She is not as ignorant as the rumors say, and she can't lie. Why don't you ask her?"
The Queen Mother nodded, turned to Shen Zhuoxi and said, "Come to Ai's house."
Shen Zhuoxi slowly moved in front of the Queen Mother, looking at her without any fear in her eyes.
Her eyes were very similar to Princess Xiaoqing's. The Queen Mother's displeasure subsided a little, and she didn't care about her rudeness. She asked softly: "What did you eat when you were in the Grand Master's Mansion?"
"Cold rice." Shen Zhuoxi tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Boiled vegetables and smelly meat."
She looked a little naughty, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but touch the top of her head: "What is smelly meat?"
"It stinks and doesn't taste good." Shen Zhuoxi looked disgusted, covered his nose and said, "There are still insects."
The Queen Mother glanced at the kneeling Aunt Cui and continued to ask: "What are you wearing? Is this maid taking care of you on weekdays?"
Shen Zhuoxi raised his eyes and met Jing Muling's eyes.
In the past few days, when Grandma Ju was telling her about the famous people in Shengdu, she mentioned the great but blind King Yu.
Their eyes intertwined, and she vaguely felt that King Yu's eyes were bright, and he didn't look like he was blind!
Still wanting to take a closer look, the Queen Mother noticed that she was silent and just stared at King Yu blankly. Then she remembered to introduce: "This is His Royal Highness King Yu. He is ten years younger than your mother. He also respects Ai's mother. After all, you You should call me uncle."
Shen Zhuoxi curled her lips and didn't want to scream. She simply pretended not to know and answered the Queen Mother's question: "The clothes are not mine, nor is she serving me."
"Alas." Seeing how stupid she was, the Queen Mother decided to deal with Nanny Cui first: "Second Miss has the brains of a five-year-old child and cannot lie. How dare you, a maid, lie and conceal it in front of the Ai family?"
"Someone, send her for interrogation until she tells the truth!"
Aunt Cui kept complaining that she was wronged until she was dragged far away. The Queen Mother held Shen Zhuoxi's hand and said to Jing Muling: "You are away all the time and rarely ask about these things. It's normal that you don't know."
"I just asked about Xiaoqing's daughter. This is the one next to me. Although she is the right age, it's a pity that she suffered a brain injury due to high fever when she was five years old. She was previously said by Si Tianjian to be the reincarnation of a demon star."
"You came into the palace yesterday and said that there was something fishy about Si Tianjian. The Ai family sent people to interrogate her all night long. It was implicated that Si Tianjian was accepting money from people and deliberately said that she was reincarnated as a demon star."
"It's a pity that after many years, the people involved are either dead or have disappeared, and the mastermind behind it can't be found."
Shen Zhuoxi looked at Jing Muling - the Queen Mother suddenly launched a strict investigation and cleared her, was it because of him?
