The little princess of space where the concubine often eats
Chapter 67 Start the War, Empress Zhang Jing
Chapter 67 Start the war and pay back to the queen
The competition has come to an end, and Liang Xiaoer's reputation in the capital has reached a new height, but the person involved is very hard-working and is being taught a lesson by her father.
"You are quite courageous, you dare to offend anyone! What you have been taught is in vain! You will be confined for half a month and you are not allowed to go out!" You Zaifu blew on his beard and stared, turned and went out.
"No, I'm helping Daxing fight against foreign enemies. You're right and wrong! Don't close the door, do you hear me! Don't..." The sound was gradually cut off by the closed door.
Qin Anan went to You Zaifu to visit her several times, and saw You Zaifu's firm attitude, but he didn't try to persuade her anymore, but kept asking people to send some food and fun new gadgets that he cooked himself, so as not to She is bored.
"Stop cooking if you're pregnant, let the cook do it." Ji Lingchen looked dissatisfied at Qin Anan, who was in charge of the cooking.
Now that Baili Mengdie has moved out of Prince Jing's mansion by himself, the mansion has returned to cleanliness, and Ji Lingchen no longer pretends to be a servant. Zhixia and Zhichun are shocked to see that the servant in front of them has become a prince.
Especially Zhichun, who had reacted strongly before, felt that he was so stupid that he could hit the wall.
Ji Lingchen rewarded her generously, and praised her for protecting the lord, which made her blush.
"Now there's nothing to do every day, and it's not a tiring thing to cook once in a while. The vegetables are all already cut, just pour them in and stir-fry them." Qin Anan looked at the overreacting person speechlessly. After recovering her identity, she was just another Bai Lianyi, who looked at her every day and refused to do anything. The mansion bought a lot of children's supplies, and even greeted Concubine Xian and sent over a stable woman who came out of the palace. Mammy.It's only been three months now, how can I use these, Qin An'an is very angry and funny.
"Besides, Xiao'er was hurt because of us, why don't you have any gratitude at all?" said angrily, "Your heart hurts to death if you don't look at Mr. Pei."
"I'm creating opportunities for them. Without these things, how could he embrace the beauty so quickly? Don't worry about it." Ji Lingchen didn't care about that much.
These days, An Yi also came back, and Ji Lingchen pretended to follow the supervisory censor into the palace to return to his command.The next day, the emperor issued an imperial edict.The emperor's personal servant, Mr. Liu, delivered the decree. This is a commendation decree. After reading it out according to the usual practice, Ji Lingchen took the decree to thank him, and then Mr. Liu said: "Your Majesty has made great achievements this time, and the Sacred Heart is very happy. Your Majesty will be rewarded tomorrow." A banquet was held in the Jiying Hall to celebrate the success, and the prince was invited to enter the palace according to the time."
Good things come in pairs, Manager Liu was sent away, and after a while, Yu Mingcheng also sent someone to bring back the gift that Yu Mingcheng brought back from Jiangnan.
When Ji Lingchen returned to the hall, Qin An'an was nowhere to be seen. He asked secretly, saying that she had returned to her room excitedly carrying the bundle sent by Yu Mingcheng.
Ji Lingchen looked over, and saw the door of the dormitory opened from a long distance, Qin An'an spread the package on the table, and sorted the gifts inside.
Still muttering words: "This is for Big Brother, this is for Xiaoer, this is for Zhichun..."
Ji Lingchen looked at it with a smile and didn't bother, anyway, he didn't have his own gift in the end.
At night, Qin An'an remembered that he had agreed to clean up the queen and avenge Xiao'er.
Ji Lingchen smiled: "Don't worry, you have to kill the enemy with one move, and you can't leave a way out"
Qin Anan looked at his listless appearance, and felt relieved to stop caring about him.
Just when the celebration banquet was approaching, and in time for the Double Ninth Festival, the chrysanthemums in the palace were in full bloom. Because of the warm seasons in Kyoto and the lack of wind and snow, the days for viewing chrysanthemums were ten and a half months longer than other places.On the surface, Ji Lingchen missed the Mid-Autumn Festival in Jinling City. Now that he was drinking on the Double Ninth Festival, and he returned to Beijing with his achievements, he would naturally be rewarded.
Qin An'an followed him in order to meet his mother and concubine and sister-in-law.After entering the palace gate, the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace was the first to arrive. Today, the bustling Princess Chang and Princess Yunhua are also there.The two chatted in the room.
The content is naturally that Yunhua complained that Qin An'an broke his promise not to bring him to play, making himself so boring, Qin An'an tried to persuade her, telling her what happened recently, he really couldn't get away.
Yunhua pressed Qin Anan's stomach curiously, "Will a child crawl out of it in the future?"
Qin An'an was sweating about the crawling word, and he couldn't care about it with a little girl, so he could only skip it: "Yes, each of us crawled out of it. When you were young, you must be more naughty than mine. I heard that the eldest princess has suffered a lot, in the future, you must treat the eldest princess well and don't make her angry."
The queen mother has been very polite to Qin An'an these few times because of the words of the eldest princess recently. In addition, Qin An'an has the flesh and blood of the royal family after all, so she didn't embarrass her anymore. , is better than being missed.
Seeing that Qin An'an was getting along well with everyone here, Ji Lingchen went to meet the emperor first. After all, it's not unreasonable for a man to stay with a female family member.
Qin Anan watched him leave, then turned around and sat beside Yunhua and chatted about recent interesting things.
When the banquet started, everyone came to the banquet place together.
This day's banquet was counted as half a family banquet, except for a few important ministers and envoys from the state of Meng, most of the relatives of the emperor attended the banquet.The Jiaofang Music Club is sitting in the colorful shed, wearing purple, crimson and green three-color wide shirts, a row of clappers, a second row of konghou, three rows of Xiaosheng, Xundi, and ordinary drums placed on colorful flower stands. Uh, one color narrow-sleeved clothes.In addition to the usual cakes and jujube tarts, there are also exquisite palace chef dishes on the table. What is different is that some chicken, duck and fish are served with daggers and raw onions, leeks and garlic vinegar. It looks different from the usual gentleness and elegance. It's the same, but it has a bit of a rough atmosphere, and it should be for several people from the Meng Kingdom.
The music in the teaching workshop was played, the emperor and all the concubines arrived, and everyone stood up to greet and salute.The bright yellow dress woven with golden brocade flashed from the corner of her eyes, and the empress sat proudly on the top seat, her eyes proud.
Qin Anan curled her lips, wondering why a person who has been a queen for so many years is still as jealous as a woman who has just become a married woman.
"Flat body, sit down."
This time the family banquet was not so formal, accompanied by the soft music of silk and bamboo, dancers in bright red dresses came lightly and performed dances to entertain the guests.
At the banquet, Baili Mengdie looked at Ji Lingchen affectionately, but didn't directly go up to express anything like before. It seems that the lesson last time also left a big impression on her.
The joyous singing and dancing in the main hall continued, everyone was enjoying themselves, and suddenly everyone saw a blood red in front of their eyes, some people rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and then looked intently, that blood red came from the dancers!
I saw that the feet and bodies of the group of dancers were covered with blood, but they didn't seem to know the pain, where they danced vigorously, the people were horrified,
He stared blankly at that place, his face was really pale.
The emperor on the high platform also accidentally threw away the wine glass in his hand. Eunuch Liu didn't care about being rude, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?!"
The emperor ignored his inquiry, took a deep breath and looked up again.In just one breath, the feet of those dancing girls had completely melted, and they were all dancing with their broken feet hanging in the air!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?!" Eunuch Liu, who was waiting by his side, sensed something was wrong and hurriedly asked.
Suddenly there were several howls during the banquet, and everyone fell into chaos for a while.
Qin An'an looked strangely at the dancer in the hall as if everyone in the hall was a lunatic, and the emperor roared in panic: "Stop, stop for me! Come on!"
Everyone in the hall also looked at the dancing girl in the middle in fear. The dancing girl had stopped after the emperor exited, but everyone was still flustered.
Looking up at Ji Lingchen in confusion, he asked strangely, "Can't you see An An?"
Qin Anan was stunned: "What did you see? What happened to you?"
Ji Lingchen didn't have time to explain too much, so he could only cover her eyes: "Just pretend to be scared and lie in my arms for a while, and leave the rest to me."
Qin An'an understands a little bit, this is the method he said to punish the queen, but why is everyone's reaction so strange?
The rich fragrance wafted to the tip of his nose, Qin Anan took a few breaths lightly, and then even frowned slightly, the incense in this temple today is too heavy.The smell made her a little nauseous.
At this time, the wind gradually picked up outside the hall, and the breeze infiltrated through the window casements, causing the fragrant mist to sway and wind, and the fragrant fragrance quickly spread throughout the hall.
Qin An'an was lying in Ji Lingchen's arms, peeking into the hall, but suddenly found that the princess hurried into the hall through the small door next to it, standing right next to the incense burner.
The emperor came back to his senses under Eunuch Liu's yelling, he shook his head lightly, and when he looked over again, there was nothing there, no blood or water, just a group of terrified and bewildered dancers kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
That terrifying scene seemed like just a nightmare.only……
The emperor came back to his senses and glanced sharply at the people in the hall. Many guests were pale at this time, and there were even quite a few female relatives covering their mouths and vomiting...
The silence in the hall made those retching sounds extremely obvious.The emperor squinted his eyes and scanned the past one by one. The female family members were startled by their disrespect in front of the imperial court, and quickly forced themselves to stop.
"Come here, Imperial Physician Xuan." The emperor said indifferently, he knew that he must have hallucinated just now, and there were actually many people in the hall who saw the same scene as him.
Earlier, in order to prevent any accidents at the wedding banquet, those imperial physicians were waiting outside the hall for orders at any time.Now as soon as they heard the emperor's call, they quickly appeared in this hall.The leader was the head of the imperial physician with the oldest qualifications and the highest medical skills. As soon as he approached the hall, he wanted to kneel down and salute.The emperor raised his hand to stop him, "There is no need for the imperial physician to be polite, just feel the pulse."
"Yes, I obey." The head of the hospital bowed in response, and then began to take his pulse seriously.
"Reporting to the emperor, I suspect... the discomfort caused by the mandala."
"Mandala?" The emperor frowned slightly, wondering, "What is this?"
The head of the hospital bowed his head respectfully, and said slowly: "Datura is a green grass that grows among flowers. It is not harmful in itself. But once it is mixed with poppies, it will cause people to have hallucinations."
The people in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay, all silent.
The emperor suddenly remembered that the fragrance he smelled before the hallucination appeared was too rich, but at this moment, he took a deep breath, and the fragrance became much clearer and sweeter.So, he ordered with a blank expression: "Mr. Zhang, you and Mr. Hu go together to check if there is any problem with today's incense." Then he continued, "The rest of the imperial physicians will diagnose the pulse of other people in the hall."
As soon as he gave an order, all the imperial doctors immediately took action.
After half a stick of incense, Imperial Physician Zhang and Imperial Physician Hu, who were in charge of inspecting the spices in the furnace, frowned slightly, and occasionally talked in a very low voice, with a little uneasiness hidden in their expressions.
Another half stick of incense passed by, and the two secretly exchanged glances, and they went to the emperor together and reported back: "His Majesty, today's incense is Qianbuxiang, and its main ingredient is Datura." The one who couldn't find it was a little lower, and said: "Also, traces of Datura were also found in the burned ashes."
Hearing this, Qin Anan, who was silently watching the development of the matter, couldn't help pursing his lips slightly.
At this time, the pale-faced queen who had been silent all this time suddenly asked, "Everyone has inhaled this incense, why are some people in this palace alright?"
Hearing this, Imperial Physician Zhang hurriedly said in a respectful voice: "Returning to the queen, the mixture of mandala and poppies can cause hallucinations, but it requires special conditions and can only be realized under certain circumstances." Speaking of this, He paused for a while before continuing, "The hallucination is the real reaction left in the human mind when facing certain scenes and sounds. It only appears when similar situations occur. In addition, the air circulation in the hall is not uniform. If you are in a well-ventilated place, There will be no hallucinations. So..."
Doctor Zhang did not continue, but everyone present understood what he meant.To put it bluntly, when people encounter a predetermined scene and then smell the mixed smell of mandala and poppies, it will cause hallucinations.And the so-called hallucination is actually a reproduction based on the scene in front of him. Obviously, this scene is the dance in front of him.The reason why some people don't have hallucinations is that it is naturally made close to the vent, and the aroma is not so strong, so it is naturally less affected.
As for the arrangement of this dance...
The queen closed her mouth and didn't speak anymore, but her hands hidden in her wide sleeves were tightly clenched...
But the emperor still had no expression on his face, but his voice was very cold, "Jing Zhaoyin."
"My minister is here." Jing Zhaoyin, who was named, quickly responded.
"Let me check carefully, I want to see who has the guts to do such dirty tricks here!"
Jing Zhaoyin was sitting at the door, so he should have been less affected, and this was originally a matter of Jing Zhaoyin's investigation.
Jing Zhaoyin bowed and saluted, "My minister obeys the order." At this moment, he suddenly remembered a certain scene.The matter was so important, he hesitated for a while, but decided to speak out.
"Your Majesty, I just saw the Crown Princess standing next to the incense burner."
Immediately, the words startled a thousand layers of waves.
Everyone turned their attention to the crown princess, and the queen hurriedly blocked her behind.The prince also opened his mouth to attack, "Jing Zhaoyin, don't be bloody, how could the princess do such a thing?!"
Jing Zhaoyin said in a warm voice with a good temper: "His Royal Highness, the officials did not say that the Crown Princess is the envoy, but just told the truth."
"You are talking nonsense, what is the princess doing standing by the incense burner all the time?" the prince said with a dark face.
Before Jing Zhaoyin could answer, the emperor gave the queen a meaningful look, and said first, "Okay, you can find out if she has been standing there all the time. Princess, tell me."
Suddenly being called by the emperor, I felt a little panicked, but then I thought about it, so what if she was standing there all the time, anyway, she didn't do such a thing.She made up her mind, and slowly walked out from behind the queen, "If you go back to the emperor, the concubine did stand by the incense burner just now, but she definitely didn't do anything!"
"Why are you standing by the incense burner?" The emperor's voice did not fluctuate at all.
The Crown Princess twisted the corner of her clothes tightly, and said falteringly: "I, I..."
Originally, the prince was a little displeased when he heard her admit that he was indeed standing by the incense burner before, but now seeing her like this, he couldn't help but scolded: "Yu'er, tell me the reason!"
The princess's face is very embarrassed, once she tells where her face is going to be, everyone will definitely laugh at her.
But, if you don't say...
The crown princess secretly looked up at Baili Mengdie who was sitting there, and then at the expressionless emperor. If she didn't tell the reason, the emperor would definitely think that she put medicine in the incense burner. It may not be possible to walk out of this palace gate properly!
Before she knew it, she seemed to have fallen into a dead end...
After carefully weighing the pros and cons of the two parties, the princess finally made up her mind to tell the truth, "Reporting to the emperor, my son stood next to the incense burner because he accidentally soiled his clothes and wanted to scent them. "
The emperor continued to ask indifferently: "It's just that the clothes are dirty, why do you have to burn incense?"
"That's because..." The Crown Princess still felt a bit embarrassed to speak, hesitated for a while, and said as soon as she closed her eyes, "Because I ran into a pair of cheating maids and guards in the garden before, and dealt with them." When it was time, the court lady jumped on me and wiped all the filth on my son! In addition, the banquet time is coming soon, so my son can only simply wash up and come to the main hall."
The most difficult thing to say has already been said, and then the crown princess's articulateness became much clearer, "Although it has been cleaned, I feel that there is always a strange smell on my body, but it is too late to change it, so I want to cover it up with the scent." Yes. Father, I really don’t know about poppies, mandalas, and I’ve never put anything in the incense burner!”
As soon as she said this, many noble ladies covered their noses and mouths with silk handkerchiefs, and stepped back half a step away from her.
The filth that other people like, my God, how could such a thing happen.The queen, who was protecting the crown princess, took half a step back unconsciously.
At this time, the crown princess lowered her head, so their unknowingly retreating action fell into her eyes.The hands in her sleeves couldn't help but clenched tighter and tighter, so that her nails were almost embedded in her palms.
The emperor asked again: "Did you see other people approaching by the incense burner at that time?"
The princess replied in a low voice: "No, no."
I don't know if the emperor really believed her words, but he looked at the princess indifferently, his eyes condensed.
"Queen, I remember that you are the host of this banquet, right? Did you personally arrange the dance and rehearsal for this banquet?" The emperor turned his eyes to the queen again.
The queen tightly squeezed the brocade handkerchief in her hand, and did not speak, but looked at the crown princess with dodging eyes from time to time.
Everyone instantly understood what was going on.
After all, she is her own concubine, and the prince finally couldn't help but said: "Father, since Yu'er became the princess, she has been trembling and never dared to make the slightest mistake, and Yu'er has never read medical books. Poppies and Datura don't know anything, so she must have nothing to do with today's matter, I implore Father to be clear! Father, no matter how ignorant Yu'er is, she will not do anything on this occasion. For you, There is no benefit!"
The emperor glanced around the hall, and everyone just lowered their eyes and remained silent.After a long while, he said slowly: "Jing Zhaoyin, take someone to check the place the princess said, and check it carefully. Doctor Zhang, you also go together."
"Yes!" Jing Zhaoyin and Zhang Taiyi hurriedly took orders in respectful voices, and even though the Crown Princess had thousands of reluctances in her heart, she could only follow along obediently at this time.
The rest of the people waited quietly and obediently in the hall. It seems that the emperor has made up his mind to investigate this matter today.
Not long after, Jing Zhaoyin and the others returned to the palace, but the concubine who was walking in the middle looked a little unhappy, and when she stepped into the gate of the palace, she even staggered a little, which made the crown prince and queen's heart skip a beat. Shen.
"How?" After the three saluted, the emperor looked at Jing Zhaoyin and spoke slowly.
"Reporting to the emperor, blood was indeed found in the place that the crown princess mentioned. It's just..." Jing Zhaoyin showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and then declined, "I'd better you, Doctor Zhang."
Doctor Zhang, who was bowing his head next to him, had no idea that Jing Zhaoyin would actually give him the problem, but at this moment he had no choice but to think about his words in his heart, and then slowly said: " Your Majesty, I found in the corner of the garden where the crown princess's clothes were soiled... I found poppies and datura." As he spoke, he took out the green grass he picked from the garden from his sleeve.
The prince's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Doctor Zhang viciously, as if he was about to pounce on him and bite him at any time.
"Prince!" The emperor looked at him indifferently, with a hint of warning in his words, blatantly putting pressure on his subordinates in front of him, did he pretend that he didn't exist? !
"Doctor Zhang is just telling the truth. What are you doing with your appearance?" In front of the emperor, he dared to stare at Doctor Zhang so fiercely. Could it be that as soon as he leaves this palace gate, he can give Doctor Zhang to you? killed!Forged evidence!
When the prince heard this, he felt a slight chill coming from the bottom of his heart.Knowing that the emperor is very displeased with him.
He quickly knelt down and said: "Just now, my son was in a daze, and I begged my father to forgive me."
After all, it was the crown prince whom he valued highly, the emperor waved his hand, "For the sake of your first crime, forget it this time, get up."
The crown prince continued to kneel on the ground and pleaded: "Father, Yu'er must have been framed by someone, I beg my father to enlighten me!"
Even if you ignore the identity of the crown princess and say that she is from her own side, half of the officialdom was offended by today's incident, and there are also father and grandmother among them. Once she is identified as the chief envoy, In the future, the empress lineage might lose the trust of her father, but in this palace, once she loses the favor of the emperor who controls everything, the consequences... , he can't let this happen no matter what!
The queen also continued: "Your majesty, ordinary people don't know the medical principles of poppies and mandala. Besides, my concubines have never dared to make mistakes since they have been with you for these years. They have managed the harem properly. I beg your majesty to look at it." Since the concubine has no credit but hard work, the Crown Princess must be given justice!"
After all, the queen mother softened her heart when she saw the queen's tears streaming down her face: "Your Majesty, everyone has noticed the contribution the queen has made to the royal family over the years. I think there is still something strange about this matter. Just give them a chance. It's better to find out."
Everyone in His Highness dare not speak, after all, this is the emperor's family business.Presumably they don't need to participate.
In such a quiet atmosphere, the Crown Princess' brain, which had been overly shocked before, suddenly cleared up.It wasn't just her who was in that garden at that time, there was another person!
"Father," in the silence, the Crown Princess suddenly raised her head and said, "I have something important to report!"
The emperor turned his head to look at her, his tone was as cold as falling into the cold pool of the twelfth lunar month, "What's the matter?"
The princess half-turned her waist, stretched out her finger and suddenly pointed at the middle of the guests present, and said anxiously: "I have a witness, she can prove that I didn't get these things."
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and suddenly saw the smiling Baili Mengdie!
At this time, both the crown princess and the queen seemed to realize that Baili Mengdie was taking revenge for what she did at the racecourse that day!Baili Mengdie must have done this!Originally thought that an envoy from a neighboring country was just sending a married princess, and since she doesn't have her own influence in the capital, it doesn't matter even if she was scheming, but she didn't expect that she would dare to bite back!
In the eyes of the whole hall, Baili Mengdie was still surprisingly calm, looking at the princess without panic, and Baili Chenfeng next to him was also calmly drinking tea, and there was nothing unusual about it. Nothing to do with them.
The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly: "Crown Princess, why did you see Princess Mengdie?"
The concubine glanced at Baili Mengdie, wondering if Baili Mengdie would beat her up, but she couldn't care less at this time, so she turned around and replied: "I was not alone in the garden at that time. , Princess Mengdie is also here. She can testify."
"Princess Mengdie, what's your explanation for this?" The emperor's voice was still faint without any hint of emotion.
Baili Mengdie said calmly: "The princess was indeed in that garden at the time, but when I went there was only one guard by the princess's side, and her clothes were disheveled." At this point, she paused intentionally, "The princess There is always a maid waiting by your side, it seems that there is only one personal maid by the side of the Crown Princess."
The inside and outside of the words revealed that the person who had an affair in the garden was not necessarily a court lady.
The prince fixed his eyes on the princess. No matter when, it is not a glorious thing to be cuckolded, let alone the prince of a country, but he also knows that now is not the time to pursue this matter.
"Your servant is wronged. At that time, the palace maid bumped into me before she died, and the guards did not leave the scene until she disposed of her body." The princess said immediately.
But it always gives people a feeling of wanting to cover up.
When everyone was in an uproar and the princess' face turned pale, Baili Mengdie said again: "The princess just asked if the princess was in trouble and if she needed help, so the princess drove me away. It is said that I have to deal with it myself. After all, the princess is a foreigner, so it is not good to stay in this situation for a long time, so I can only leave first. As for how long the princess has been dealing with it over there, has she picked the ones that are close at hand? Mandala, this princess will not know, I believe the emperor has his own judgment in his heart."
"Where is that maid now?"
Following the emperor's inquiry, two maids in pink came out from the palace, and the older one saluted politely: "Reporting to the emperor, it was the servants who were always serving the princess at that time."
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Have you been following Princess Mengdie?"
The older court lady thought about it seriously, and said: "The princess once asked the servants to go back to the hall to inform Prince Baili of her whereabouts, so as not to worry the sixth prince." This time, she continued without waiting for the emperor to ask carefully. , "However, as soon as the servant girl came out of the small garden, she saw the princess at the corner."
Another court lady went on to say: "The servants are always by the princess' side, because the princess does not know the way in the palace, the servants are ordered to lead the way for the princess, and they dare not relax, so they never leave. The servants followed the princess and met the princess in the garden. , After a brief conversation, the princess left the garden first, came to the main hall to join the sixth prince, and never left her seat since then."
Baili Chenfeng raised his brows slightly, and took the words: "The prince and the maids around Mengdie can testify about the whereabouts. Besides, we came to the banquet as guests. Even if we know mandala and poppies, we can't." Control the arrangement of the dance, right?"
In one sentence, the suspicion on him was cleared up in a simple and clear way.
"On the contrary, it is the crown princess who is a great helper in charge of the harem as the queen. She has stayed there for a long time after the princess left." Baili Mengdie continued, "And I have been with everyone in the Meng Kingdom since I returned to the palace. But I have never been close to the censer, and seeing the Queen's hesitation just now, the choreography must have been arranged by the Crown Princess, I believe that everyone here is not a fool to be fooled by others!"
Hearing this, the princess couldn't bear it and said: "You nonsense! I was in a hurry to clean up my clothes, how could I stay in the garden! Even if I stayed by the incense burner, so what, I don't even know the mandala, how can I Will put it in! You're on revenge day...."
"Crown princess!" The queen sternly called to stop.
The emperor didn't intend to just let them go like this: "Revenge? What do you say? Is there any grievance between the crown princess and the princess?"
The queen was about to stop the princess from continuing, when Baili Mengdie spoke loudly: "The princess has been making small moves behind her back during the horse riding competition, which caused the princess to fall off the horse and was seriously injured. Not only did she not apologize now He dragged me into the water again and slandered me. This princess also wants to ask the crown princess, this princess has never met you, why do you plot against me everywhere! Your Majesty, is this Daxing’s way of hospitality? If so, this princess I don't mind reporting everything to my father, this marriage is over!"
"What the emperor said is that although the Meng country is not prosperous, it cannot tolerate such an insult to our princess!" Baili Chenfeng followed closely behind, escorting her.
The concubine was stunned by her long words, and froze in place for a moment.
No matter what the previous words were said, they were still personal grievances, but when the latter words were uttered, they rose directly to the national level.Besides, Baili Chenfeng, he is the leader of the Meng Kingdom envoys this time, and his words almost represent the meaning of the Meng Kingdom Emperor, and the current situation in Daxing is that it must not continue to fight, otherwise it will definitely hurt its vitality.
The emperor frowned slightly. This matter has reached such a point that it must not continue. Moreover, all the evidence now points to the crown princess. The arrangement of singing and dancing in the palace is indeed the empress's responsibility. If there is a problem, the empress will not be so calm at the beginning The look on his face, this matter will not be clear for a while...
"The crown princess is domineering and unreasonable. She has neglected the noble guests of the Meng Kingdom. She must immediately apologize to Princess Mengdie and admit her mistake, and she will be punished forty times. The empress is not strict in controlling the harem, and she will be fined for half a year. For the time being, the control of the harem affairs will be handed over to the virtuous concubine."
The emperor's voice was gentle, but to the ears of the crown princess, it was like thunder on the ground!Even if he apologized in public and admitted his mistake, he actually wanted her to be punished with forty sticks!
The queen almost fainted, how could this matter turn out like this, since she moved into the middle palace, she has never lost control, but now she is taking advantage of the concubine Xian's mother and son!It's really hateful!
The queen turned her eyes to the queen mother for help. She was the queen chosen by the queen mother herself, and she always favored herself, but she found that the queen mother had never looked up at her, obviously disappointed in her. The queen was terrified, she Suddenly realized that no one will help her this time!
At this time, the emperor's calm voice sounded, "Crown Princess, serve tea and apologize to Princess Mengdie."
The fist in the princess's sleeve was tightly clenched, and her nails were embedded in the flesh, but she seemed to be unconscious, and just stared at the cup of tea handed over by the palace man and took two deep breaths.
After a long while, she slowly stood up, pretending to be calm and taking the tea.
Seeing her approaching him step by step, Baili Mengdie's eyes quickly wiped coldness.She attacked the princess today only because of the insult that the racecourse received that day.She still can't forget the scene where she lost control of her body and was almost contaminated by a despicable person!When she thinks about it now, she can't help being afraid, such a small punishment, the empress and the others are cheap, but after all, it is not her own land, she knows what is more important, and when she successfully marries into Prince Jing's mansion, she will have a chance to fight them!
Baili Mengdie looked indifferently at the Crown Princess who had already walked up to her. It could be seen that although she was already trying to restrain herself, the hands holding the tea were still trembling, which made Baili Mengdie wonder if she was going to take this He poured a cup of hot tea on himself.
Fortunately, although the princess was about to lose her mind with anger, she still didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor, and obediently handed the teacup to Baili Mengdie.
Seeing this scene, Qin An'an was overjoyed, and thought that when he went back at night, he must send Zhixia to Liang Xiaoer's side, so that Zhixia's storytelling mouth could convey this scene to Xiaoer vividly, so that she could also be able to live in confinement. To be happy and happy is to avenge her.
but…….
Qin Anan cast his eyes on Ji Lingchen unhappily, and questioned him with his eyes: "Why did Baili Mengdie help us for no reason? Do you have a relationship with her? Be honest?!"
Ji Lingchen smiled wryly: "How can I have an intersection with her? I just left this matter to Pei Zihua. I guess they have reached some kind of deal. Even if we have an intersection, it is with Baili Chenfeng. It doesn't matter to her!"
"Hmph, trust you for now! Don't let me get caught!" Qin Anan picked up a piece of sour plum and ate it.
But I thought in my heart, people say sour and spicy girls, sour and spicy girls, how come when I come to my place, I become both sour and spicy, can't I be pregnant with twins?But the stomach is so small, it doesn’t look like it. My stomach for the past three months looks like it’s only one month old. It’s just slightly raised, and I can’t see it unless I look carefully. It’s really worrying about the baby in my stomach. Not malnourished, right?
Ji Lingchen smoothed Qin Anan's tangled brows, and helped her put the piece of sweet cake that was far away to her mouth.
In the middle of the day, as soon as he raised his head, Baili Mengdie came over, "King Jing, thank you for saving me that day, and I respect you for this glass of wine."
Ji Lingchen was not polite: "My concubine is pregnant. As a person around me, I should not drink alcohol for safety reasons. As for the person who the princess wants to thank, I should thank the military adviser Pei, not this king!"
After speaking, he turned around and left with Qin An'an in his arms.
Baili Mengdie: ...are people so rude now?
Seeing the two of them walking arm in arm so intimately, Baili Mengdie lowered his head sadly. For the first time, he had doubts about his stubbornness in marrying Ji Lingchen. Is it worth it?In fact, until now, she still feels that Qin Anan is not worthy of the man who is like a god on the battlefield. In comparison, she admires Liang Xiaoer, who is comparable to her, but no matter how she thinks, it is not Ji Lingchen.
Sure enough, if it's not your own, can't you covet it?I was relieved a lot in my heart, and turned around lightly, maybe the one that suits me is the best, this Daxing man is not as good as the rumors say, with so many sissies, he is still the son of our Meng country who is straightforward and strong!One day, I will find my own superhero, isn't it just a God of War?What a big deal, see you next time on the battlefield, we may not lose!
Feng Chen behind him looked at Baili Mengdie thoughtfully, watching her mood change from depressed to relieved and then full of energy. For the first time, he had a different view of this princess. Maybe this princess didn't have her imagination. Incompetent and brainless.
In fact, Baili Mengdie is a purely spoiled child who subconsciously fights for the things she likes. As a princess of a country, she also has her own beliefs and pride and will not do anything out of the ordinary. A very bad person can only be said to be a trick of good fortune, if you meet the right person at the right time, and if you are in love, don't give up easily!
(End of this chapter)
The competition has come to an end, and Liang Xiaoer's reputation in the capital has reached a new height, but the person involved is very hard-working and is being taught a lesson by her father.
"You are quite courageous, you dare to offend anyone! What you have been taught is in vain! You will be confined for half a month and you are not allowed to go out!" You Zaifu blew on his beard and stared, turned and went out.
"No, I'm helping Daxing fight against foreign enemies. You're right and wrong! Don't close the door, do you hear me! Don't..." The sound was gradually cut off by the closed door.
Qin Anan went to You Zaifu to visit her several times, and saw You Zaifu's firm attitude, but he didn't try to persuade her anymore, but kept asking people to send some food and fun new gadgets that he cooked himself, so as not to She is bored.
"Stop cooking if you're pregnant, let the cook do it." Ji Lingchen looked dissatisfied at Qin Anan, who was in charge of the cooking.
Now that Baili Mengdie has moved out of Prince Jing's mansion by himself, the mansion has returned to cleanliness, and Ji Lingchen no longer pretends to be a servant. Zhixia and Zhichun are shocked to see that the servant in front of them has become a prince.
Especially Zhichun, who had reacted strongly before, felt that he was so stupid that he could hit the wall.
Ji Lingchen rewarded her generously, and praised her for protecting the lord, which made her blush.
"Now there's nothing to do every day, and it's not a tiring thing to cook once in a while. The vegetables are all already cut, just pour them in and stir-fry them." Qin Anan looked at the overreacting person speechlessly. After recovering her identity, she was just another Bai Lianyi, who looked at her every day and refused to do anything. The mansion bought a lot of children's supplies, and even greeted Concubine Xian and sent over a stable woman who came out of the palace. Mammy.It's only been three months now, how can I use these, Qin An'an is very angry and funny.
"Besides, Xiao'er was hurt because of us, why don't you have any gratitude at all?" said angrily, "Your heart hurts to death if you don't look at Mr. Pei."
"I'm creating opportunities for them. Without these things, how could he embrace the beauty so quickly? Don't worry about it." Ji Lingchen didn't care about that much.
These days, An Yi also came back, and Ji Lingchen pretended to follow the supervisory censor into the palace to return to his command.The next day, the emperor issued an imperial edict.The emperor's personal servant, Mr. Liu, delivered the decree. This is a commendation decree. After reading it out according to the usual practice, Ji Lingchen took the decree to thank him, and then Mr. Liu said: "Your Majesty has made great achievements this time, and the Sacred Heart is very happy. Your Majesty will be rewarded tomorrow." A banquet was held in the Jiying Hall to celebrate the success, and the prince was invited to enter the palace according to the time."
Good things come in pairs, Manager Liu was sent away, and after a while, Yu Mingcheng also sent someone to bring back the gift that Yu Mingcheng brought back from Jiangnan.
When Ji Lingchen returned to the hall, Qin An'an was nowhere to be seen. He asked secretly, saying that she had returned to her room excitedly carrying the bundle sent by Yu Mingcheng.
Ji Lingchen looked over, and saw the door of the dormitory opened from a long distance, Qin An'an spread the package on the table, and sorted the gifts inside.
Still muttering words: "This is for Big Brother, this is for Xiaoer, this is for Zhichun..."
Ji Lingchen looked at it with a smile and didn't bother, anyway, he didn't have his own gift in the end.
At night, Qin An'an remembered that he had agreed to clean up the queen and avenge Xiao'er.
Ji Lingchen smiled: "Don't worry, you have to kill the enemy with one move, and you can't leave a way out"
Qin Anan looked at his listless appearance, and felt relieved to stop caring about him.
Just when the celebration banquet was approaching, and in time for the Double Ninth Festival, the chrysanthemums in the palace were in full bloom. Because of the warm seasons in Kyoto and the lack of wind and snow, the days for viewing chrysanthemums were ten and a half months longer than other places.On the surface, Ji Lingchen missed the Mid-Autumn Festival in Jinling City. Now that he was drinking on the Double Ninth Festival, and he returned to Beijing with his achievements, he would naturally be rewarded.
Qin An'an followed him in order to meet his mother and concubine and sister-in-law.After entering the palace gate, the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace was the first to arrive. Today, the bustling Princess Chang and Princess Yunhua are also there.The two chatted in the room.
The content is naturally that Yunhua complained that Qin An'an broke his promise not to bring him to play, making himself so boring, Qin An'an tried to persuade her, telling her what happened recently, he really couldn't get away.
Yunhua pressed Qin Anan's stomach curiously, "Will a child crawl out of it in the future?"
Qin An'an was sweating about the crawling word, and he couldn't care about it with a little girl, so he could only skip it: "Yes, each of us crawled out of it. When you were young, you must be more naughty than mine. I heard that the eldest princess has suffered a lot, in the future, you must treat the eldest princess well and don't make her angry."
The queen mother has been very polite to Qin An'an these few times because of the words of the eldest princess recently. In addition, Qin An'an has the flesh and blood of the royal family after all, so she didn't embarrass her anymore. , is better than being missed.
Seeing that Qin An'an was getting along well with everyone here, Ji Lingchen went to meet the emperor first. After all, it's not unreasonable for a man to stay with a female family member.
Qin Anan watched him leave, then turned around and sat beside Yunhua and chatted about recent interesting things.
When the banquet started, everyone came to the banquet place together.
This day's banquet was counted as half a family banquet, except for a few important ministers and envoys from the state of Meng, most of the relatives of the emperor attended the banquet.The Jiaofang Music Club is sitting in the colorful shed, wearing purple, crimson and green three-color wide shirts, a row of clappers, a second row of konghou, three rows of Xiaosheng, Xundi, and ordinary drums placed on colorful flower stands. Uh, one color narrow-sleeved clothes.In addition to the usual cakes and jujube tarts, there are also exquisite palace chef dishes on the table. What is different is that some chicken, duck and fish are served with daggers and raw onions, leeks and garlic vinegar. It looks different from the usual gentleness and elegance. It's the same, but it has a bit of a rough atmosphere, and it should be for several people from the Meng Kingdom.
The music in the teaching workshop was played, the emperor and all the concubines arrived, and everyone stood up to greet and salute.The bright yellow dress woven with golden brocade flashed from the corner of her eyes, and the empress sat proudly on the top seat, her eyes proud.
Qin Anan curled her lips, wondering why a person who has been a queen for so many years is still as jealous as a woman who has just become a married woman.
"Flat body, sit down."
This time the family banquet was not so formal, accompanied by the soft music of silk and bamboo, dancers in bright red dresses came lightly and performed dances to entertain the guests.
At the banquet, Baili Mengdie looked at Ji Lingchen affectionately, but didn't directly go up to express anything like before. It seems that the lesson last time also left a big impression on her.
The joyous singing and dancing in the main hall continued, everyone was enjoying themselves, and suddenly everyone saw a blood red in front of their eyes, some people rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and then looked intently, that blood red came from the dancers!
I saw that the feet and bodies of the group of dancers were covered with blood, but they didn't seem to know the pain, where they danced vigorously, the people were horrified,
He stared blankly at that place, his face was really pale.
The emperor on the high platform also accidentally threw away the wine glass in his hand. Eunuch Liu didn't care about being rude, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?!"
The emperor ignored his inquiry, took a deep breath and looked up again.In just one breath, the feet of those dancing girls had completely melted, and they were all dancing with their broken feet hanging in the air!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?!" Eunuch Liu, who was waiting by his side, sensed something was wrong and hurriedly asked.
Suddenly there were several howls during the banquet, and everyone fell into chaos for a while.
Qin An'an looked strangely at the dancer in the hall as if everyone in the hall was a lunatic, and the emperor roared in panic: "Stop, stop for me! Come on!"
Everyone in the hall also looked at the dancing girl in the middle in fear. The dancing girl had stopped after the emperor exited, but everyone was still flustered.
Looking up at Ji Lingchen in confusion, he asked strangely, "Can't you see An An?"
Qin Anan was stunned: "What did you see? What happened to you?"
Ji Lingchen didn't have time to explain too much, so he could only cover her eyes: "Just pretend to be scared and lie in my arms for a while, and leave the rest to me."
Qin An'an understands a little bit, this is the method he said to punish the queen, but why is everyone's reaction so strange?
The rich fragrance wafted to the tip of his nose, Qin Anan took a few breaths lightly, and then even frowned slightly, the incense in this temple today is too heavy.The smell made her a little nauseous.
At this time, the wind gradually picked up outside the hall, and the breeze infiltrated through the window casements, causing the fragrant mist to sway and wind, and the fragrant fragrance quickly spread throughout the hall.
Qin An'an was lying in Ji Lingchen's arms, peeking into the hall, but suddenly found that the princess hurried into the hall through the small door next to it, standing right next to the incense burner.
The emperor came back to his senses under Eunuch Liu's yelling, he shook his head lightly, and when he looked over again, there was nothing there, no blood or water, just a group of terrified and bewildered dancers kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
That terrifying scene seemed like just a nightmare.only……
The emperor came back to his senses and glanced sharply at the people in the hall. Many guests were pale at this time, and there were even quite a few female relatives covering their mouths and vomiting...
The silence in the hall made those retching sounds extremely obvious.The emperor squinted his eyes and scanned the past one by one. The female family members were startled by their disrespect in front of the imperial court, and quickly forced themselves to stop.
"Come here, Imperial Physician Xuan." The emperor said indifferently, he knew that he must have hallucinated just now, and there were actually many people in the hall who saw the same scene as him.
Earlier, in order to prevent any accidents at the wedding banquet, those imperial physicians were waiting outside the hall for orders at any time.Now as soon as they heard the emperor's call, they quickly appeared in this hall.The leader was the head of the imperial physician with the oldest qualifications and the highest medical skills. As soon as he approached the hall, he wanted to kneel down and salute.The emperor raised his hand to stop him, "There is no need for the imperial physician to be polite, just feel the pulse."
"Yes, I obey." The head of the hospital bowed in response, and then began to take his pulse seriously.
"Reporting to the emperor, I suspect... the discomfort caused by the mandala."
"Mandala?" The emperor frowned slightly, wondering, "What is this?"
The head of the hospital bowed his head respectfully, and said slowly: "Datura is a green grass that grows among flowers. It is not harmful in itself. But once it is mixed with poppies, it will cause people to have hallucinations."
The people in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay, all silent.
The emperor suddenly remembered that the fragrance he smelled before the hallucination appeared was too rich, but at this moment, he took a deep breath, and the fragrance became much clearer and sweeter.So, he ordered with a blank expression: "Mr. Zhang, you and Mr. Hu go together to check if there is any problem with today's incense." Then he continued, "The rest of the imperial physicians will diagnose the pulse of other people in the hall."
As soon as he gave an order, all the imperial doctors immediately took action.
After half a stick of incense, Imperial Physician Zhang and Imperial Physician Hu, who were in charge of inspecting the spices in the furnace, frowned slightly, and occasionally talked in a very low voice, with a little uneasiness hidden in their expressions.
Another half stick of incense passed by, and the two secretly exchanged glances, and they went to the emperor together and reported back: "His Majesty, today's incense is Qianbuxiang, and its main ingredient is Datura." The one who couldn't find it was a little lower, and said: "Also, traces of Datura were also found in the burned ashes."
Hearing this, Qin Anan, who was silently watching the development of the matter, couldn't help pursing his lips slightly.
At this time, the pale-faced queen who had been silent all this time suddenly asked, "Everyone has inhaled this incense, why are some people in this palace alright?"
Hearing this, Imperial Physician Zhang hurriedly said in a respectful voice: "Returning to the queen, the mixture of mandala and poppies can cause hallucinations, but it requires special conditions and can only be realized under certain circumstances." Speaking of this, He paused for a while before continuing, "The hallucination is the real reaction left in the human mind when facing certain scenes and sounds. It only appears when similar situations occur. In addition, the air circulation in the hall is not uniform. If you are in a well-ventilated place, There will be no hallucinations. So..."
Doctor Zhang did not continue, but everyone present understood what he meant.To put it bluntly, when people encounter a predetermined scene and then smell the mixed smell of mandala and poppies, it will cause hallucinations.And the so-called hallucination is actually a reproduction based on the scene in front of him. Obviously, this scene is the dance in front of him.The reason why some people don't have hallucinations is that it is naturally made close to the vent, and the aroma is not so strong, so it is naturally less affected.
As for the arrangement of this dance...
The queen closed her mouth and didn't speak anymore, but her hands hidden in her wide sleeves were tightly clenched...
But the emperor still had no expression on his face, but his voice was very cold, "Jing Zhaoyin."
"My minister is here." Jing Zhaoyin, who was named, quickly responded.
"Let me check carefully, I want to see who has the guts to do such dirty tricks here!"
Jing Zhaoyin was sitting at the door, so he should have been less affected, and this was originally a matter of Jing Zhaoyin's investigation.
Jing Zhaoyin bowed and saluted, "My minister obeys the order." At this moment, he suddenly remembered a certain scene.The matter was so important, he hesitated for a while, but decided to speak out.
"Your Majesty, I just saw the Crown Princess standing next to the incense burner."
Immediately, the words startled a thousand layers of waves.
Everyone turned their attention to the crown princess, and the queen hurriedly blocked her behind.The prince also opened his mouth to attack, "Jing Zhaoyin, don't be bloody, how could the princess do such a thing?!"
Jing Zhaoyin said in a warm voice with a good temper: "His Royal Highness, the officials did not say that the Crown Princess is the envoy, but just told the truth."
"You are talking nonsense, what is the princess doing standing by the incense burner all the time?" the prince said with a dark face.
Before Jing Zhaoyin could answer, the emperor gave the queen a meaningful look, and said first, "Okay, you can find out if she has been standing there all the time. Princess, tell me."
Suddenly being called by the emperor, I felt a little panicked, but then I thought about it, so what if she was standing there all the time, anyway, she didn't do such a thing.She made up her mind, and slowly walked out from behind the queen, "If you go back to the emperor, the concubine did stand by the incense burner just now, but she definitely didn't do anything!"
"Why are you standing by the incense burner?" The emperor's voice did not fluctuate at all.
The Crown Princess twisted the corner of her clothes tightly, and said falteringly: "I, I..."
Originally, the prince was a little displeased when he heard her admit that he was indeed standing by the incense burner before, but now seeing her like this, he couldn't help but scolded: "Yu'er, tell me the reason!"
The princess's face is very embarrassed, once she tells where her face is going to be, everyone will definitely laugh at her.
But, if you don't say...
The crown princess secretly looked up at Baili Mengdie who was sitting there, and then at the expressionless emperor. If she didn't tell the reason, the emperor would definitely think that she put medicine in the incense burner. It may not be possible to walk out of this palace gate properly!
Before she knew it, she seemed to have fallen into a dead end...
After carefully weighing the pros and cons of the two parties, the princess finally made up her mind to tell the truth, "Reporting to the emperor, my son stood next to the incense burner because he accidentally soiled his clothes and wanted to scent them. "
The emperor continued to ask indifferently: "It's just that the clothes are dirty, why do you have to burn incense?"
"That's because..." The Crown Princess still felt a bit embarrassed to speak, hesitated for a while, and said as soon as she closed her eyes, "Because I ran into a pair of cheating maids and guards in the garden before, and dealt with them." When it was time, the court lady jumped on me and wiped all the filth on my son! In addition, the banquet time is coming soon, so my son can only simply wash up and come to the main hall."
The most difficult thing to say has already been said, and then the crown princess's articulateness became much clearer, "Although it has been cleaned, I feel that there is always a strange smell on my body, but it is too late to change it, so I want to cover it up with the scent." Yes. Father, I really don’t know about poppies, mandalas, and I’ve never put anything in the incense burner!”
As soon as she said this, many noble ladies covered their noses and mouths with silk handkerchiefs, and stepped back half a step away from her.
The filth that other people like, my God, how could such a thing happen.The queen, who was protecting the crown princess, took half a step back unconsciously.
At this time, the crown princess lowered her head, so their unknowingly retreating action fell into her eyes.The hands in her sleeves couldn't help but clenched tighter and tighter, so that her nails were almost embedded in her palms.
The emperor asked again: "Did you see other people approaching by the incense burner at that time?"
The princess replied in a low voice: "No, no."
I don't know if the emperor really believed her words, but he looked at the princess indifferently, his eyes condensed.
"Queen, I remember that you are the host of this banquet, right? Did you personally arrange the dance and rehearsal for this banquet?" The emperor turned his eyes to the queen again.
The queen tightly squeezed the brocade handkerchief in her hand, and did not speak, but looked at the crown princess with dodging eyes from time to time.
Everyone instantly understood what was going on.
After all, she is her own concubine, and the prince finally couldn't help but said: "Father, since Yu'er became the princess, she has been trembling and never dared to make the slightest mistake, and Yu'er has never read medical books. Poppies and Datura don't know anything, so she must have nothing to do with today's matter, I implore Father to be clear! Father, no matter how ignorant Yu'er is, she will not do anything on this occasion. For you, There is no benefit!"
The emperor glanced around the hall, and everyone just lowered their eyes and remained silent.After a long while, he said slowly: "Jing Zhaoyin, take someone to check the place the princess said, and check it carefully. Doctor Zhang, you also go together."
"Yes!" Jing Zhaoyin and Zhang Taiyi hurriedly took orders in respectful voices, and even though the Crown Princess had thousands of reluctances in her heart, she could only follow along obediently at this time.
The rest of the people waited quietly and obediently in the hall. It seems that the emperor has made up his mind to investigate this matter today.
Not long after, Jing Zhaoyin and the others returned to the palace, but the concubine who was walking in the middle looked a little unhappy, and when she stepped into the gate of the palace, she even staggered a little, which made the crown prince and queen's heart skip a beat. Shen.
"How?" After the three saluted, the emperor looked at Jing Zhaoyin and spoke slowly.
"Reporting to the emperor, blood was indeed found in the place that the crown princess mentioned. It's just..." Jing Zhaoyin showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and then declined, "I'd better you, Doctor Zhang."
Doctor Zhang, who was bowing his head next to him, had no idea that Jing Zhaoyin would actually give him the problem, but at this moment he had no choice but to think about his words in his heart, and then slowly said: " Your Majesty, I found in the corner of the garden where the crown princess's clothes were soiled... I found poppies and datura." As he spoke, he took out the green grass he picked from the garden from his sleeve.
The prince's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Doctor Zhang viciously, as if he was about to pounce on him and bite him at any time.
"Prince!" The emperor looked at him indifferently, with a hint of warning in his words, blatantly putting pressure on his subordinates in front of him, did he pretend that he didn't exist? !
"Doctor Zhang is just telling the truth. What are you doing with your appearance?" In front of the emperor, he dared to stare at Doctor Zhang so fiercely. Could it be that as soon as he leaves this palace gate, he can give Doctor Zhang to you? killed!Forged evidence!
When the prince heard this, he felt a slight chill coming from the bottom of his heart.Knowing that the emperor is very displeased with him.
He quickly knelt down and said: "Just now, my son was in a daze, and I begged my father to forgive me."
After all, it was the crown prince whom he valued highly, the emperor waved his hand, "For the sake of your first crime, forget it this time, get up."
The crown prince continued to kneel on the ground and pleaded: "Father, Yu'er must have been framed by someone, I beg my father to enlighten me!"
Even if you ignore the identity of the crown princess and say that she is from her own side, half of the officialdom was offended by today's incident, and there are also father and grandmother among them. Once she is identified as the chief envoy, In the future, the empress lineage might lose the trust of her father, but in this palace, once she loses the favor of the emperor who controls everything, the consequences... , he can't let this happen no matter what!
The queen also continued: "Your majesty, ordinary people don't know the medical principles of poppies and mandala. Besides, my concubines have never dared to make mistakes since they have been with you for these years. They have managed the harem properly. I beg your majesty to look at it." Since the concubine has no credit but hard work, the Crown Princess must be given justice!"
After all, the queen mother softened her heart when she saw the queen's tears streaming down her face: "Your Majesty, everyone has noticed the contribution the queen has made to the royal family over the years. I think there is still something strange about this matter. Just give them a chance. It's better to find out."
Everyone in His Highness dare not speak, after all, this is the emperor's family business.Presumably they don't need to participate.
In such a quiet atmosphere, the Crown Princess' brain, which had been overly shocked before, suddenly cleared up.It wasn't just her who was in that garden at that time, there was another person!
"Father," in the silence, the Crown Princess suddenly raised her head and said, "I have something important to report!"
The emperor turned his head to look at her, his tone was as cold as falling into the cold pool of the twelfth lunar month, "What's the matter?"
The princess half-turned her waist, stretched out her finger and suddenly pointed at the middle of the guests present, and said anxiously: "I have a witness, she can prove that I didn't get these things."
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and suddenly saw the smiling Baili Mengdie!
At this time, both the crown princess and the queen seemed to realize that Baili Mengdie was taking revenge for what she did at the racecourse that day!Baili Mengdie must have done this!Originally thought that an envoy from a neighboring country was just sending a married princess, and since she doesn't have her own influence in the capital, it doesn't matter even if she was scheming, but she didn't expect that she would dare to bite back!
In the eyes of the whole hall, Baili Mengdie was still surprisingly calm, looking at the princess without panic, and Baili Chenfeng next to him was also calmly drinking tea, and there was nothing unusual about it. Nothing to do with them.
The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly: "Crown Princess, why did you see Princess Mengdie?"
The concubine glanced at Baili Mengdie, wondering if Baili Mengdie would beat her up, but she couldn't care less at this time, so she turned around and replied: "I was not alone in the garden at that time. , Princess Mengdie is also here. She can testify."
"Princess Mengdie, what's your explanation for this?" The emperor's voice was still faint without any hint of emotion.
Baili Mengdie said calmly: "The princess was indeed in that garden at the time, but when I went there was only one guard by the princess's side, and her clothes were disheveled." At this point, she paused intentionally, "The princess There is always a maid waiting by your side, it seems that there is only one personal maid by the side of the Crown Princess."
The inside and outside of the words revealed that the person who had an affair in the garden was not necessarily a court lady.
The prince fixed his eyes on the princess. No matter when, it is not a glorious thing to be cuckolded, let alone the prince of a country, but he also knows that now is not the time to pursue this matter.
"Your servant is wronged. At that time, the palace maid bumped into me before she died, and the guards did not leave the scene until she disposed of her body." The princess said immediately.
But it always gives people a feeling of wanting to cover up.
When everyone was in an uproar and the princess' face turned pale, Baili Mengdie said again: "The princess just asked if the princess was in trouble and if she needed help, so the princess drove me away. It is said that I have to deal with it myself. After all, the princess is a foreigner, so it is not good to stay in this situation for a long time, so I can only leave first. As for how long the princess has been dealing with it over there, has she picked the ones that are close at hand? Mandala, this princess will not know, I believe the emperor has his own judgment in his heart."
"Where is that maid now?"
Following the emperor's inquiry, two maids in pink came out from the palace, and the older one saluted politely: "Reporting to the emperor, it was the servants who were always serving the princess at that time."
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Have you been following Princess Mengdie?"
The older court lady thought about it seriously, and said: "The princess once asked the servants to go back to the hall to inform Prince Baili of her whereabouts, so as not to worry the sixth prince." This time, she continued without waiting for the emperor to ask carefully. , "However, as soon as the servant girl came out of the small garden, she saw the princess at the corner."
Another court lady went on to say: "The servants are always by the princess' side, because the princess does not know the way in the palace, the servants are ordered to lead the way for the princess, and they dare not relax, so they never leave. The servants followed the princess and met the princess in the garden. , After a brief conversation, the princess left the garden first, came to the main hall to join the sixth prince, and never left her seat since then."
Baili Chenfeng raised his brows slightly, and took the words: "The prince and the maids around Mengdie can testify about the whereabouts. Besides, we came to the banquet as guests. Even if we know mandala and poppies, we can't." Control the arrangement of the dance, right?"
In one sentence, the suspicion on him was cleared up in a simple and clear way.
"On the contrary, it is the crown princess who is a great helper in charge of the harem as the queen. She has stayed there for a long time after the princess left." Baili Mengdie continued, "And I have been with everyone in the Meng Kingdom since I returned to the palace. But I have never been close to the censer, and seeing the Queen's hesitation just now, the choreography must have been arranged by the Crown Princess, I believe that everyone here is not a fool to be fooled by others!"
Hearing this, the princess couldn't bear it and said: "You nonsense! I was in a hurry to clean up my clothes, how could I stay in the garden! Even if I stayed by the incense burner, so what, I don't even know the mandala, how can I Will put it in! You're on revenge day...."
"Crown princess!" The queen sternly called to stop.
The emperor didn't intend to just let them go like this: "Revenge? What do you say? Is there any grievance between the crown princess and the princess?"
The queen was about to stop the princess from continuing, when Baili Mengdie spoke loudly: "The princess has been making small moves behind her back during the horse riding competition, which caused the princess to fall off the horse and was seriously injured. Not only did she not apologize now He dragged me into the water again and slandered me. This princess also wants to ask the crown princess, this princess has never met you, why do you plot against me everywhere! Your Majesty, is this Daxing’s way of hospitality? If so, this princess I don't mind reporting everything to my father, this marriage is over!"
"What the emperor said is that although the Meng country is not prosperous, it cannot tolerate such an insult to our princess!" Baili Chenfeng followed closely behind, escorting her.
The concubine was stunned by her long words, and froze in place for a moment.
No matter what the previous words were said, they were still personal grievances, but when the latter words were uttered, they rose directly to the national level.Besides, Baili Chenfeng, he is the leader of the Meng Kingdom envoys this time, and his words almost represent the meaning of the Meng Kingdom Emperor, and the current situation in Daxing is that it must not continue to fight, otherwise it will definitely hurt its vitality.
The emperor frowned slightly. This matter has reached such a point that it must not continue. Moreover, all the evidence now points to the crown princess. The arrangement of singing and dancing in the palace is indeed the empress's responsibility. If there is a problem, the empress will not be so calm at the beginning The look on his face, this matter will not be clear for a while...
"The crown princess is domineering and unreasonable. She has neglected the noble guests of the Meng Kingdom. She must immediately apologize to Princess Mengdie and admit her mistake, and she will be punished forty times. The empress is not strict in controlling the harem, and she will be fined for half a year. For the time being, the control of the harem affairs will be handed over to the virtuous concubine."
The emperor's voice was gentle, but to the ears of the crown princess, it was like thunder on the ground!Even if he apologized in public and admitted his mistake, he actually wanted her to be punished with forty sticks!
The queen almost fainted, how could this matter turn out like this, since she moved into the middle palace, she has never lost control, but now she is taking advantage of the concubine Xian's mother and son!It's really hateful!
The queen turned her eyes to the queen mother for help. She was the queen chosen by the queen mother herself, and she always favored herself, but she found that the queen mother had never looked up at her, obviously disappointed in her. The queen was terrified, she Suddenly realized that no one will help her this time!
At this time, the emperor's calm voice sounded, "Crown Princess, serve tea and apologize to Princess Mengdie."
The fist in the princess's sleeve was tightly clenched, and her nails were embedded in the flesh, but she seemed to be unconscious, and just stared at the cup of tea handed over by the palace man and took two deep breaths.
After a long while, she slowly stood up, pretending to be calm and taking the tea.
Seeing her approaching him step by step, Baili Mengdie's eyes quickly wiped coldness.She attacked the princess today only because of the insult that the racecourse received that day.She still can't forget the scene where she lost control of her body and was almost contaminated by a despicable person!When she thinks about it now, she can't help being afraid, such a small punishment, the empress and the others are cheap, but after all, it is not her own land, she knows what is more important, and when she successfully marries into Prince Jing's mansion, she will have a chance to fight them!
Baili Mengdie looked indifferently at the Crown Princess who had already walked up to her. It could be seen that although she was already trying to restrain herself, the hands holding the tea were still trembling, which made Baili Mengdie wonder if she was going to take this He poured a cup of hot tea on himself.
Fortunately, although the princess was about to lose her mind with anger, she still didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor, and obediently handed the teacup to Baili Mengdie.
Seeing this scene, Qin An'an was overjoyed, and thought that when he went back at night, he must send Zhixia to Liang Xiaoer's side, so that Zhixia's storytelling mouth could convey this scene to Xiaoer vividly, so that she could also be able to live in confinement. To be happy and happy is to avenge her.
but…….
Qin Anan cast his eyes on Ji Lingchen unhappily, and questioned him with his eyes: "Why did Baili Mengdie help us for no reason? Do you have a relationship with her? Be honest?!"
Ji Lingchen smiled wryly: "How can I have an intersection with her? I just left this matter to Pei Zihua. I guess they have reached some kind of deal. Even if we have an intersection, it is with Baili Chenfeng. It doesn't matter to her!"
"Hmph, trust you for now! Don't let me get caught!" Qin Anan picked up a piece of sour plum and ate it.
But I thought in my heart, people say sour and spicy girls, sour and spicy girls, how come when I come to my place, I become both sour and spicy, can't I be pregnant with twins?But the stomach is so small, it doesn’t look like it. My stomach for the past three months looks like it’s only one month old. It’s just slightly raised, and I can’t see it unless I look carefully. It’s really worrying about the baby in my stomach. Not malnourished, right?
Ji Lingchen smoothed Qin Anan's tangled brows, and helped her put the piece of sweet cake that was far away to her mouth.
In the middle of the day, as soon as he raised his head, Baili Mengdie came over, "King Jing, thank you for saving me that day, and I respect you for this glass of wine."
Ji Lingchen was not polite: "My concubine is pregnant. As a person around me, I should not drink alcohol for safety reasons. As for the person who the princess wants to thank, I should thank the military adviser Pei, not this king!"
After speaking, he turned around and left with Qin An'an in his arms.
Baili Mengdie: ...are people so rude now?
Seeing the two of them walking arm in arm so intimately, Baili Mengdie lowered his head sadly. For the first time, he had doubts about his stubbornness in marrying Ji Lingchen. Is it worth it?In fact, until now, she still feels that Qin Anan is not worthy of the man who is like a god on the battlefield. In comparison, she admires Liang Xiaoer, who is comparable to her, but no matter how she thinks, it is not Ji Lingchen.
Sure enough, if it's not your own, can't you covet it?I was relieved a lot in my heart, and turned around lightly, maybe the one that suits me is the best, this Daxing man is not as good as the rumors say, with so many sissies, he is still the son of our Meng country who is straightforward and strong!One day, I will find my own superhero, isn't it just a God of War?What a big deal, see you next time on the battlefield, we may not lose!
Feng Chen behind him looked at Baili Mengdie thoughtfully, watching her mood change from depressed to relieved and then full of energy. For the first time, he had a different view of this princess. Maybe this princess didn't have her imagination. Incompetent and brainless.
In fact, Baili Mengdie is a purely spoiled child who subconsciously fights for the things she likes. As a princess of a country, she also has her own beliefs and pride and will not do anything out of the ordinary. A very bad person can only be said to be a trick of good fortune, if you meet the right person at the right time, and if you are in love, don't give up easily!
