Ruan Geng was filled with regret as he recalled the past. He slowly shook his head. I am afraid that the knot in the Queen's heart cannot be untied, but it only hurts the Crown Prince Li Yu.
Ruan Mianmian knelt on the Grand Master's chair and held his hands towards Ruan Geng: "Grandpa, you can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb about my little brother."
"Just for your little brother?" Ruan Geng suddenly understood Ruan Xiao's sour mood just now.
"Not only, but to live up to the emperor's trust in Ding'an Hou Mansion, you, the Ruan family and fourth brother."
Ruan Geng was dumbfounded after hearing this: "Little breast dumpling, so many top hats have been slapped on my face, I have to take care of it even if I don't care."
"Don't my grandfather also think that my little brother is good? Otherwise, why would he let the fourth brother go to him?"
"I can't hide it from you, you little clever guy. Don't worry, I already know about this." Ruan Geng turned to Ruan Xiao, "You have to be more careful in the future. The opportunity for the eldest princess to see Mianmian is limited. It will be easy for you to make things difficult for you.
Too much."
"I'm sorry, Fourth Brother, for causing trouble to you." Ruan Mianmian said guiltily.
Ruan Xiao patted Ruan Mianmian on the shoulder: "It's okay. I'll be a little wronged at most. She doesn't dare to do anything to me?"
"Tell the prince, just say what I said. Forbearance cannot solve the problem, it will not only hurt yourself but also hurt others." Ruan Geng made his attitude clear and reminded Li Yu.
"Yes, grandfather." Ruan Xiao stood up and saluted respectfully.
"Please step back first." Ruan Geng waved his hand.
Ruan Geng sent Ruan Xiao away, and Ruan Mianmian knew that his grandfather had something to talk to him alone.
"Grandpa, you say it, I'm listening."
"It is not the ministers' turn to interfere in matters concerning the palace. Although the Empress treats His Highness the Crown Prince well, she not only dotes on the eldest princess, she dotes on her."
"Grandpa, is Li Ling so pampered by the empress that he becomes lawless?" Ruan Mianmian said angrily.
Ruan Geng nodded: "I just heard that the eldest princess was arrogant, but I didn't expect that she would bully the prince. However, I guess the queen didn't know about it."
"Grandfather secretly helped me find out if the Queen had been deceived by someone?" Ruan Mianmian pointed out, "The problem must be solved completely by finding the source."
"Li Ling is petty, I think she will definitely hate you." Ruan Geng raised his head and looked directly at Ruan Mianmian, "Next, you may have to face a lot of trouble."
Ruan Mianmian said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, the soldiers will come to stop me. Didn't my grandfather already put Ruan Jiu next to me?"
"The Queen is not an unreasonable person. You should think twice when something happens and don't go too far. Although she still gives me some face, you must be reasonable."
"I have traveled all over the world to make sense, and I know the truth."
"Being reasonable may not mean you can travel all over the world. If you want to act without scruples, let alone you, I can't do it."
"Grandpa, don't worry, I still lack some confidence. I will hold the emperor's thigh firmly. I also want to ask about the Queen Mother?"
"Smart." Ruan Geng guessed Xiaoxiaotuanzi's thoughts, "The Queen Mother values His Highness the Crown Prince very much."
"That's good." Ruan Mianmian yawned after saying this. She really felt sleepy this time.
Ruan Geng quickly said: "Go back and rest. Let Ruan Jiu carry you back."
"Okay, grandpa, Mianmian will leave first."
Ruan Jiu carried Ruan Mianmian on her back and she fell asleep halfway down the road. Ruan Yi, who was following them secretly, turned around and reported the matter to the old Marquis. He frowned in thought and looked faintly worried.
Besides, Li Ling had suffered a slight injury the last time Li Yu fought with her, but she did not suffer any loss. Today, she suffered a big loss at the hands of Ruan Mianmian.
Full of anger, she rushed back to her Lingfang Palace, throwing many objects in succession.
Shuangmei followed Li Ling: "Ouch, Your Highness, I hurt my hand. It's not worth it for Ruan Mianmian."
"What do you know? Who is that Ruan Mianmian? What I'm angry about is that Li Yu actually went against me for her. I'm so angry."
"Your Highness, shall we just swallow this matter? Should we report it to the Queen?"
Shuangmei served tea. She had been kicked just now, and now there were bruises on her thighs. She tried her best to provoke Li Ling, thinking that if the queen took action, even the prince would not be able to protect the hateful Ruan Mianmian.
"I'm not injured. Li Yu confused right and wrong and said that you were disrespectful to him. It's only natural for him to punish you. My mother will not punish him for this." Li Ling picked up the teacup and drank it all, saying angrily.
Shuangmei said unjustly: "Ruan Mianmian is too arrogant. I don't know how His Highness the Crown Prince could join in the same deeds with her."
Li Ling became even more upset after hearing this: "My mother once said that when I meet people from the Ruan family, I must be polite. I have always treated Ruan Xiao a little bit, but I didn't expect Ruan Mianmian to be so hateful."
"We can only suffer the loss of this dumb guy." Shuangmei said while observing Li Ling's expression, and sure enough, she saw her anger rising again in an instant.
"My servant heard that Ruan Mianmian is the one that the old Marquis holds in his palm, and the emperor has just made her the Princess of Linglong. The Ruan family is in great prosperity. Princess, let's avoid her."
"What? I have to avoid her? Who is she?" Li Ling jumped up, "No, we can't just let it go."
Shuangmei said aggrievedly: "It's a small matter for the slaves to be beaten, but it's a big deal for the princess to lose face. But we can't do anything."
"I'm going to find the Queen Mother." Before Shuangmei finished speaking, Li Ling rushed out like a gust of wind.
In Kunyi Palace, the queen was sitting in the middle of the hall, listening to Li Ling angrily telling what happened.
After listening to Li Ling's words, the queen looked at her dubiously: "Are you saying that the prince and Ruan Mianmian are colluding to confuse right and wrong?"
"Mother, you said it's fine that she doesn't take me seriously, but who doesn't know that you love me the most? Is it possible that Marquis Ding'an ordered his granddaughter to deliberately slap you in the face?"
"That's nonsense. Marquis Ding'an is an upright man and would not do such a thing."
Li Ling said angrily: "A man of integrity? I don't think so."
"Okay, whether it's Ruan Mianmian or the prince, it's just a matter of beating a few palace maids. What's the matter with you?" The queen lowered her face, "Besides, I told you a long time ago not to provoke people from the Ding'an Marquis Mansion.
.”
"My son has been wronged, and my mother still speaks for others. I hate you." Li Ling ran out crying.
Growing up, the queen would give Li Ling whatever he wanted. She was the most favored person in Nuo Da's palace.
Unexpectedly, the queen did not help Li Ling this time and even scolded her. She was really sad. When she returned to Lingfang Hall, she burst into tears. Shuangmei persuaded her for a long time and finally stopped her tears.
"Princess, the Queen is not to blame for this, and we have no evidence."
"My mother doesn't believe me."
"This is not a question of whether the Empress believes in you or not. What can she do even if she believes in you in her heart? When it comes to the Ding'an Marquis Mansion, we cannot draw any conclusions without definite evidence." Shuangmei has been in the palace for many years and has seen clearly.
Li Ling wiped away her tears and said bitterly: "In short, from now on, I and Ruan Mianmian are at odds with each other."
"My slave, you can see that His Highness the Crown Prince really protects her."
"So what? What can Li Yu do to me?" This chapter has been completed!
