Chapter 11

In the backyard of Shouyan Palace, everyone was quiet, and the previous happy atmosphere was completely gone.

Chu Yan's lips were black and purple from the cold, her little face was pale, and her whole body was soaked, and was wrapped into a ball by Zhao Ronghua in a towel.

The empress dowager, the emperor, the imperial concubine Rong and all the family members stood there. The emperor didn't speak, and the concubines naturally didn't say a word.

Also drenched was Qin Yuanshan, just now when he saw Chu Yan thumping in the water, he jumped down without saying a word. If something happened to Chu Yan, he had no doubt that his sister, who always thinks without thinking, would also die with her.

Right now, the Eldest Princess is also hugging him, wiping his body with a dry towel, her face is very ugly.

Hearing the noise from the backyard earlier, the emperor rushed over from the hall with a group of people, but only saw Qingyang standing on the bank in shock and fear of regret, while Qin Yuanshan was trying his best to lift Chu Yan to the bank.

Chu Yan doesn't know how to swim, and Qin Yuanshan tried his best to rescue her. The two little people struggled in the water like this, and it was frightening to watch.

The eldest princess hurriedly called out, "My God, Yuanshan! Hurry up for me! What are you doing in the water in such a cold day?"

Qin Yuan knows how to move mountains and rivers, so the eldest princess naturally knew that, seeing him saving Chu Yan so recklessly, her heart stopped beating in shock.

Without the emperor's words, several young eunuchs immediately jumped into the lake and fished the two children up. The maid came with a clean towel, but was snatched away by the eldest princess and Zhao Ronghua, each holding their own towels. Child, wiped anxiously.

Chu Yan coughed non-stop, her eyes were red, her whole body was shaking, she threw herself into Zhao Ronghua's arms and cried non-stop.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and make ginger soup!" The queen mother looked at Chu Yan, who was crying and crying, and Qingyang, who was huddled there without saying a word, and she knew it.

The eldest princess is not her child, and she used to act recklessly in the palace relying on the late emperor's favor, and finally got married, which was also a relief for her.

And after the former emperor left, the relationship between the current emperor and the eldest princess is not close. If the eldest princess is a person who understands current affairs, she will naturally stay in the princess mansion honestly.But not only did she not settle down, she was also domineering like before, even bringing her own daughter into this look.

Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday, seeing Qingyang wearing a red skirt, although the Empress Dowager didn't say anything, she still had some thoughts in her heart.

Knowing that it was Qing Yang who committed the crime, he still didn't show mercy to the eldest princess, and asked with a frown, "What's going on?"

No one said a word.

Chu Yan only cared about crying, Qin Yuanshan let his mother wipe it for him with a pale face, and Qingyang hung his head without saying a word.

The emperor asked Chu Yan with a sullen face, "Since it was Chu Yan who fell into the water, then you come and tell me what's going on?"

Chu Yan was crying so hard that she was out of breath, she turned her head to look at Qingyang with anger and fear, and cried even harder.

Gu Qi was also standing behind the emperor, looking at this scene, he naturally understood what was going on, it must be Qingyang's scumbag who pushed Chu Yan into the water.

The little girl was standing in the crowd shivering with cold, her eyes were full of distress, even Gu Qi was a little absent-minded.

It's not a setback she should take at her age.

Seeing that Chu Yan was speechless, the emperor looked at Qin Yuanshan again, "Then tell me!"

Hearing his tone, he was clearly impatient.

Qin Yuanshan glanced at the silent Qingyang, then at the trembling Chuyan, and finally felt the Eldest Princess grab his arm slightly.

Forget it, he has been taking care of the aftermath of the mother and daughter since he was born. He obviously hates people who are hypocritical and submissive in his life, but he has to be the kind of person he hates most every time.

The little boy looked a little pale, but he raised his head to look at the emperor, and said calmly, "Back to the emperor, it was my sister who played with me and accidentally pushed Miss Zhao into the lake. But after Miss Zhao fell into the water , my sister immediately told me to go down to save people, and I hope... I hope the emperor will not punish my sister."

Everyone present knew Qingyang's temper and character, and the emperor was no exception. Whether she did it on purpose or not...I'm afraid the king of Beijun can't believe everything he says.

Zhao Ronghua saw that the eldest princess was still holding on, her body was standing there upright, and seeing the trembling look of Chu Yan in her arms, she couldn't beat her heart, and for the first time, she stopped being silent and stood up , said in a deep tone, "Your Majesty, since Chu Yan entered the palace, she has been bullied by Princess Qingyang again and again. The concubine ran back crying. The concubine thought that she was the princess after all, and the daughter of the princess mansion was naturally a bit more delicate, and it was right to have a bad temper, so she taught Chu Yan to be tolerant in everything, and never told the emperor about Qingyang. The Princess is not right, but today..."

She paused, and her face suddenly sank, "But today, Chu Yan was pushed into the lake by the princess. Fortunately, the emperor arrived in time, so nothing happened. As the saying goes, there are only three incidents, and the concubine is really afraid of Chu Yan. In the future, she will face more criticisms from the princess. She is still so young, how can she bear this kind of torture? The concubine implores the emperor to give Chu Yan justice, otherwise Chu Yan will have troubles in the future, and the concubine does not know what to do I have explained to my eldest brother and father at home!"

Chu Yan flung herself into her arms, and after hearing this, her body froze for a moment, while Zhao Ronghua just patted her on the back lightly, as if to comfort her.

Chu Yan understood. Because of what she said in Yuanxi Hall, Zhao Ronghua kept backing down and didn't get angry, just to avoid causing more trouble to her.But the emperor is here today, this matter is enough to make Qingyang get the punishment she deserves, and it will dampen her spirit, and more importantly, with the emperor making decisions for Chu Yan, who dares to be dissatisfied?
The eldest princess's face was so ugly that she said fiercely to Qingyang, "You can do it, you have grown up, today is the Queen Mother's birthday, and you can cause trouble here, so hurry up and kneel down! Grandma and uncle apologize!"

Uncle, Grandma Huang... With such an intimate address, anyone can tell that the eldest princess is looking for steps for Qingyang.

Qingyang was so frightened that he didn't dare to act violently anymore, so he came to the center of the crowd tremblingly and wanted to kneel down.

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager suddenly turned around and said to Zhao Ronghua, "Chu Yan is still wet all over, quickly take her to the room and change into clean clothes, otherwise she will be frozen!"

Qingyang's body froze there, and even the princess's expression froze.

The queen mother did not let them go down the steps.

Qingyang was able to dress like this to attend her birthday banquet, obviously she didn't take her as the queen mother seriously, since they didn't give her due respect in front of everyone in the palace, why should she give them face ?
The emperor also wanted to attack Qingyang a long time ago, this is a royal descendant, and now he is not yet six years old, but he is doted on by the eldest princess, and the courtiers and families in the whole capital know it!

If you don't give her some flair now, I don't know what kind of wild girl will be raised in the future. It's okay if she can't get married, but I'm afraid that she will do something bold and ruin the reputation of the Gu family.

He also put on a straight face, turned his head and nodded to the Queen Mother, "What the Queen Mother said is, let Zhao Ronghua take the two children in to change clothes, drink the ginger soup, and then let the imperial doctor show you, don't turn around and get sick. "

He nodded towards Concubine Rong, Rong Zhen understood, and followed the Queen Mother and Zhao Ronghua to bring the two children into the house.

The emperor watched them go, and then slowly turned his head, and said to the eldest princess expressionlessly in front of all the concubines, "Miss Huang's temper has never changed since she was a child, and I think you are my emperor." For my sister's sake, I never said you were wrong, but now you have brought your own daughter into the same virtue as you, with no regard for elders, no distinction between right and wrong, and no etiquette that royal children should have. What happened today, I must punish Qingyang severely, otherwise I will bend the law for personal gain and break the rules of the palace!"

When the princess saw the emperor's posture, how could she bear it?The first emperor only had her as a daughter, so he doted on her and loved her, which made her used to her current appearance. Now the emperor is just her younger brother, and he gave her this elder sister in front of all the concubines. A slap in the face, how could she be willing?

She pulled Qingyang behind her and looked at the emperor without showing any weakness, "The emperor wants to punish my daughter severely for the daughter of a courtier? Qingyang is just a child, so worthy of the emperor's anger? I am her mother, Anyone who wants to touch her has to step on my body first!"

The emperor looked at her expressionlessly, but his eyes narrowed all of a sudden, and a chill emanated from his whole body, which made everyone afraid to speak out.

He was originally a restrained person, no matter whether it was anger or joy, he didn't show it easily, but his reaction now... I'm afraid it was already full of anger.

"Treading over your body?"

what is this?Are you challenging his authority?

The emperor looked at the eldest princess who was upright and unflinching, and his anger burned bit by bit.

Who does she think she is?He was neither born of the same mother as him, nor had a deep relationship with him, so what qualifications do he have to challenge him here?

In the past, he was just trying to give her some face, and he didn't want any words that would damage the royal family's face from outside, so he turned his eyes and closed his eyes. As long as she didn't do too much, a little domineering could be tolerated.

But now it seems that he has tolerated her for too long, and made her so ignorant that she dared to openly oppose his decision!

The last bit of patience was exhausted, and the emperor said coldly, "Since the imperial sister wants to be punished with Qingyang, I, my younger brother, will not stop you. Come, bring the eldest princess and Qingyang Princess Go back to the princess mansion. From now on, you will be confined for one month, during which you are not allowed to step out of the princess mansion! In addition, everyone in the mansion is not allowed to go out without permission, and all activities are prohibited in the mansion. I hope that the eldest princess and Qingyang princess can reflect on what happened today. Introspect, so as not to do anything more outrageous in the future."

He turned his head and glanced at Zheng An, "Ask the people in the servant's mansion to show me the princess mansion! Except for daily purchases, I don't want to see a fly fly out!"

The eldest princess looked at him in disbelief, her heart was about to explode.

How could he treat her like this?When her father was still there, she was the golden branch and jade leaf that the whole palace looked up to, but Gu Yuan was just an unfavored prince with an embarrassing position, and he did such a thing to her today!
She tugged at the hem of her skirt, looked at the emperor with a livid face, but couldn't say a word.

The emperor looked at her without hesitation, and said word by word, "Sister Huang is already married, and she is now a son-in-law, and her relationship with the palace is no better than before. I hope you will keep in mind today's lesson. Thinking that the palace is your world alone."

His eyes were cold and sharp, as if telling the eldest princess: This palace is his world, and she will do whatever he says.

Everyone stood there silently, and the eldest princess seemed to have lost her soul, and could no longer speak.

The emperor took one last look at her, turned around and left, leaving only a flowing yellow robe gradually disappearing from her sight.

Qingyang cried and took her hand, "Mother...."

I thought that my mother would comfort her as before, but unexpectedly the eldest princess suddenly raised her hand and slapped Qingyang on the face, "You are causing trouble! People stepped on it! Are you happy?"

She was so angry that even her beloved daughter couldn't appease her anger.

She looked at Qingyang like this, as if she saw her husband's face through her daughter. That man always looked at her lightly, smiled lightly, and spoke lightly, as if their marriage was a pot of nothing. The turbulent water will never have the slightest ripple.

She shouldn't have married him in the first place!She is really crazy to follow her mother's advice and marry Qin Shu!
She doesn't love him!He doesn't love her either!

And she was forced to endure the embarrassing life of marrying out of the palace, and she was no longer the golden branch and jade leaf in the palace!
The princess's heart was filled with despair and anger.

But facing such a fact, she had no chance to resist at all. Under everyone's eyes of ridicule or sympathy, the eldest princess, who was most favored by the late emperor in the past, could not escape the emperor's order. He left the palace shamelessly and was "escorted" all the way to the Princess Mansion.

In the Princess Mansion, Qin Shu was copying a famous painting called Narcissus in his study, when he suddenly heard a noisy sound from outside, followed by the screaming and cursing of the Eldest Princess.

He was not unfamiliar with this, but he frowned slightly, and he was not in a hurry to go out to look, but continued to draw the outline with a pen.

Under the tip of his pen is a budding lotus, just like a shy fairy descending to the mortal world, the shy and beautiful artistic conception blooms in his pen, as if you can smell it just by looking at it like this A burst of tangy fragrance.

And a moment later, following the sound of hurried footsteps, the furious eldest princess Huo Di pushed the door in. After seeing him still painting leisurely and comfortably, her anger level rose to the peak.

"Qin Shu! You bastard! You, you bastard! Damn you!"

She grabbed the unfinished painting on the desk, tore it in half and left it under her feet, and looked at Qin Shu as if she were an irreconcilable enemy.
