"What?! That slave also gave the snacks he made to Miss Zhuang. Didn't he feed the white-eyed wolf?" Baoyu exclaimed.
Qin Zhao was speechless: "Qing'er doesn't even know what she came to do in the palace. How can she be such a white-eyed wolf?"
"Is it possible that Miss Zhuang is more scheming and Liang Di didn't notice it?" Baoyu said calmly.
"Liang Di is better at judging people than you are." Bao Zhu said angrily: "Don't worry, since Liang Di knows why Miss Zhuang came to the palace, and Liang Di doesn't reject Miss Zhuang, it means that Miss Zhuang is someone we can get close to."
Baoyu felt that Baozhu's words were reasonable, so he stopped bothering himself.
That day, after Zhuang Qing came out of the East Palace, she returned to the Changqiu Palace.
She had arranged a confession with her maid Atong, and when her aunt Ruo Shufei asked about it, she said that she had gone to see the prince's cousin.
Sure enough, when she returned to Changqiu Palace, she was asked by Aunt Shu Fei for questioning.
"I went to sit with the prince's cousin for a short while, but the prince's cousin was too busy, so I didn't dare to bother him for too long and then came back." Zhuang Qing said the lines he had prepared.
Concubine Shu looked at Zhuang Qing coldly and did not answer.
This made Zhuang Qing feel anxious.
At this time, Concubine Shu looked at A Tong and asked, "Tell me where your girl went just now."
A Tong showed timidity under Concubine Shu's gaze. She looked at Zhuang Qing for help. Zhuang Qing rolled her eyes at her and suddenly understood one thing: Concubine Shu's aunt must have known that she had gone to find Qin Liangdi.
It would be bad for her to lie again.
"Because I didn't know where to go, when I passed Wangyue Residence, I went in and sat for a while." Zhuang Qing added hurriedly.
This doesn't mean she lied, right?
Concubine Shu smiled coldly: "Are you sure?"
She is in control of Qing'er's actions.
Zhuang Qing didn't know how to answer the call now. The question was her whereabouts. How could Aunt Shufei know?
"I was just curious about what kind of person Qin Liangdi was, so I went to Wangyue Residence to sit for a while. Isn't that right?" Zhuang Qing said she didn't understand.
The woman living with the prince's cousin is a woman from the East Palace, not Aunt Shufei.
"Qing'er, please listen clearly. From now on, you are not allowed to have any contact with Wangyueju and Qin Liangdi. I originally planned to tell you about this matter after the next year, in order to prevent you from being deceived by Qin Liangdi. I
I will take this opportunity to make it clear to you that you will marry A Ce next year, and you will be the Crown Princess by then. Qin Liangdi is not a good person, and I am afraid that you will be deceived by her." Concubine Shu said sternly.
Zhuang Qing was a little confused by the sudden news. It took her a while to find her voice: "I want to be the crown princess?"
"As soon as you are old enough, you will marry A Ce. I will ask the emperor for permission to marry you into the East Palace and become the Crown Princess. By then, Qin Liangdi will be your enemy! Don't let her take advantage of you.
I know it." Concubine Shu opened her lips coldly.
Now she hates Qin Zhao deeply. It was Qin Zhao who made the relationship between her and A Ce worse and worse. She does not allow Qin Zhao's family to dominate.
"Yes, but I never thought about marrying the prince's cousin." Zhuang Qing lowered her eyebrows, feeling a little at a loss.
She used to not understand why her family still didn't help her negotiate a marriage when she was old, but now she understood that it turned out that the banker and Aunt Shu had planned for her to marry into the East Palace.
But is it possible between her and the prince's cousin?
For a moment, Zhuang Qing was also confused and didn't know what to do.
"I never thought about it before, but it's not too late to start thinking about it now." Concubine Shu softened her voice: "Everyone in the banker's family pins their hopes on you. If you can become the crown princess, the banker's family will also be able to benefit from it in the future."
Zhuang Qing thought that marriage was a major event in life, so why should her marriage be linked to the banker? Normally, her parents pampered her and would give her whatever she wanted. If she didn't want to get married, how could her parents force her?
?
"Think about it, where can you find a better match than A Ce in this world? My son is the most outstanding man in the world. Qing'er, it's not a loss for you to marry A Ce." When mentioning Xiao Ce, Concubine Shu said
So proud.
Of course Zhuang Qing knew that the prince's cousin was excellent, but she was not outstanding, and her temperament was not suitable for living in the palace.
But Aunt Shu Fei couldn't listen to what she said.
She could only compromise and said: "I'm in a mess now, let me think about it again."
Concubine Shu did not force Zhuang Qing, but Zhuang Qing hid in her room and sighed sadly.
If she had known that the purpose of entering the palace was for her to marry the prince's cousin, she would definitely not be willing to enter the palace.
But now that she is living in Changqiu Palace, it is not easy for her to go home. Why not ask the prince's cousin to take her out of the palace?
But this will offend Aunt Shufei.
"Slave, I think there is nothing wrong with marrying His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness is so handsome and he is the Crown Prince of Qi, so it is the best choice for a girl to marry His Highness the Crown Prince." A Tong saw her girl sighing sadly and lobbying from the side.
"You only see these good things, but you never think about whether I can survive the harem battle in the future when the prince's cousin ascends the throne. Let's not talk about others, but people like Sister Qin. Do you think I am Sister Qin's opponent?
Zhuang Qing sighed again: "I must leave the palace and never marry the prince's cousin."
She doesn't know how to fight in the palace, and there is no way she can survive such a harem fight. Her appearance is not comparable to other beauties. No matter how you calculate, she should not be from this imperial city.
A Tong still feels that everything is possible: "Shu Concubine wants the girl to be the crown princess, and with Shu Concubine's support, what should the girl be afraid of..."
"I can't make sense to you." Zhuang Qing frowned.
She felt that her mother and Aunt Shu Fei must have discussed it, but neither of them revealed anything to her. Now that they had tricked her into the palace, they came to tell her this because they were sure that she would accept her fate and marry the prince's cousin.
?
In her opinion, everyone thinks this matter is too simple.
The prince's cousin has Qin Liangdi in his heart, so he probably doesn't want to marry her, or if she is more firm, the matter can be settled.
She immediately made a decision and planned to go to the East Palace again.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she left the door, she saw two palace maids guarding the outside. When they saw her coming out, they asked: "Where are you going, girl?"
"Why are you waiting outside my door?" Zhuang Qing asked.
"This slave is here to serve the girl on the order of the Concubine Shu. The girl has just entered the palace and is not familiar with the place. To avoid unnecessary accidents, the slave needs to protect the girl at all times." The palace maid who replied was a little older.
What Zhuang Qing didn't understand at this time was that the imperial concubine's aunt clearly sent someone to monitor her every move, for fear that she would have contact with Qin Liangdi again.
She turned back indoors and suddenly lost her direction.
It was calm here in the East Palace.
When Qin Zhao went to the main hall at night, he also mentioned Zhuang Qing.
"Have you seen Qing'er?" Xiao Ce was a little surprised.
