After hearing Princess Ning's explanation, the prince did not rush to speak. Instead, he looked at the old lady first to see how she would react. However, the old lady seemed to have not calmed down yet. Not only did she ignore Ning'er's confession,
, and didn’t say a word.
He had no choice but to continue to say to Princess Ning: "Your injury has not healed yet. After paying your respects to your grandmother, why don't you return to the courtyard quickly? According to seniority, Miss Tan'er is our aunt and is also an elder. How can you let your
The maid beat her?"
"Yes, Ning'er knows that she was wrong. Ning'er will never do anything to Tan'er again." Princess Ning said.
"Go back quickly." The prince said.
"Yes, let's get up Qin'er and let's go." Princess Ning walked over and helped Qin'er up to leave.
"Wait a minute, who said you can leave?" the old lady asked.
"Grandma, Ning'er has admitted her mistake, so let's forget it," the prince said.
"Admit her mistake? Did she really admit her mistake?" the old lady asked.
"Grandma, Ning'er is ignorant and has already admitted her mistake, not to mention she is still injured." The prince advised.
"Why didn't you go back to recover quickly when you were injured and run wild in my yard? Doesn't she even care about me now?" the old lady asked.
"Grandma, I think there must be some misunderstanding here. Didn't Ning'er come here specially to pay your respects?" the prince said.
"Come here and tell the prince what happened just now," the old lady said.
There was a maid standing next to the old lady. The maid stepped forward cautiously, saluted the prince, and said: "Back to the prince, I was working in the yard just now and saw Miss Tan'er planning to go to the old lady's house. By chance,
Miss Tan'er met the princess. Miss Tan'er greeted the princess, but the princess suddenly hit Miss Tan'er indiscriminately. Later, the princess continued to question Miss Tan'er,
Miss Tan'er was still kneeling on the ground. This was the old lady's yard. The servant was worried that things would get serious, so she had to report the matter to the old lady. After coming out with the old lady, she found that Miss Tan'er's face had been covered by Miss Qin'er
It’s swollen.”
"Is that so?" The prince looked at Ning'er and said.
The prince knew that Princess Ning was lying, but he did not expect that although Ning'er beat Tan'er, Tan'er was still very respectful to Ning'er and even knelt down for her, but she still refused to let Qin'er beat her.
Ning'er's guilty expression told him that the maid had not wronged her.
"Brother, I know I was wrong. It's just because Tan'er was my former maid, and I suddenly got my grandmother's favor, I'm a little jealous. I know that my grandmother would alienate me because I was too willful in the past. Seeing that Tan'er was favored by her grandmother,
Love, I feel very uncomfortable. I shouldn't have done anything to Tan'er, let alone let Qin'er hit her." Princess Ning said.
"Why don't you admit your mistake to grandma quickly?" the prince said.
"Grandma, it's Ning'er's fault. Ning'er shouldn't have lied to you and her elder brother. Grandma, please punish Ning'er so that she will never be disrespectful to Tan'er again." Princess Ning knelt in front of the old lady and said.
"Fortunately, someone saw what happened, otherwise they would have thought that I wronged you because I didn't like you." The old lady said angrily.
As soon as the prince heard this, he knew that the reason why the old lady was angry was related to him. From the time he came in until now, he has been talking to Ning'er. How could the old lady not hear it? He is indeed partial to Ning'er, but Ning'er
She was his sister, and he couldn't bear to see Ning'er being punished again. But he didn't expect that someone would see the situation with his own eyes.
"Grandma is the most just person. How could she wrongly accuse Ning'er because she doesn't like her? Ning'er did something wrong indeed and should be taught a lesson," the prince said.
"Then tell me, how should I teach her a lesson? Give her another fifty strokes?" the old lady asked.
"Grandma, the wounds on her body have just healed. If you give her another fifty strokes, I'm afraid there will be scars on her body. Grandma, why not punish her to copy scriptures and let her cultivate herself in the yard," the prince said.
"Copying scriptures? Haha, it's not impossible. When Ning'er said goodbye just now, I saw that this girl's face was not very good, and I thought she could go back to rest early. But I didn't expect that she was very energetic and still had time.
I’m here to teach others a lesson. Since you are protecting her, I have nothing to say, so let her copy the scriptures. And since the wounds on her body still need to be healed, I won’t go to this year’s flower viewing party. By then,
I will explain it to Concubine Yun." The old lady said coldly.
"Grandma, why don't you let Ning'er attend the flower viewing party? It's my aunt's post for Ning'er. Ning'er must go. I know you are very angry because I hit Tan'er. But you can't stop Ning'er.
I beg you to attend the flower viewing party, grandma." Ning'er knelt down in front of the old lady and said.
"The prince just said that you don't need to take good care of your body, didn't you hear?" the old lady asked.
"The flower viewing party will take a few days, and we don't need to enter the palace immediately. Why not let Ning'er go?" Princess Ning said.
"Grandma, what do you think about this? Let Ning'er take good care of her first, wait a few days to see how she recovers, and if there is nothing serious, take her into the palace with her?" the prince said.
"Since Prince Cheng has spoken, let's do what the prince wants. If there's nothing else, you can go." The old lady turned around and held Tan'er's hand, and they went back to the house together.
When Ning'er saw the old lady leaving, she stood up and patted the dust on her body. She said aggrievedly to the prince, "Brother."
"I'm very pleased to see you come over to pay your respects to my grandmother. But why did you hit Tan'er? Ning'er, you have to use your brain when doing things in the future." After the prince finished speaking, he left the yard.
There were still tears on Qin'er's face. She walked over and helped Ning'er to leave together. Ning'er looked up at Qin'er's face, wiped her tears and said, "It's all my fault for making you suffer."
.”
Qin'er said nothing and helplessly helped Princess Ning back to the courtyard. Princess Ning first asked a doctor to treat the injuries on Qin'er's face. The doctor gave Qin'er ointment and asked her to keep applying it every day. There was nothing else.
Serious problem.
Princess Ning was injured not long ago. She was tired after working hard for a long time, so she fell asleep on the couch.
old lady's yard
"Ning'er is your junior. If she dares to be presumptuous in the future, just teach her a lesson. Apart from hitting you in the face, what else have you done to you?" the old lady asked.
After the old lady took Tan'er back, she asked a doctor to treat Tan'er. After applying the medicine, her burning cheeks felt a little bit cool.
Tan'er did not expect that the old lady would care about him so much. In order to reassure the old lady, he said to the old lady: "The princess did not do anything to me. Tan'er knew that she suddenly saw him and felt uncomfortable. You are like this.
Don't take it to heart, the princess is just willful. Mother must not be angry because of this matter, Tan'er will not let her bully her in the future."
"I know you are a good child, and you did this because you didn't want to make things worse, but Ning'er is so willful that even the maid next to her didn't stop her, right?" the old lady said.
"Tan'er didn't expect that the princess would take action. After all, this was in mother's yard. But she suddenly saw me and couldn't control her emotions. Mother, don't be angry. Tan'er will protect herself in the future."
persuaded.
"This morning, when Ning'er came to say hello, I was very surprised. When did she become so sensible? Now it seems that she was just pretending. After seeing you, I couldn't control myself," the old lady said.
"The princess has this temper, please don't get angry, lest you get hurt," Tan'er said.
"Why did she want to participate in the flower viewing party so much? I was a little angry at first, so I casually said I wouldn't let her participate. However, her reaction was really strange," the old lady said.
"Old madam, are you worried about what the princess will do at the flower viewing party?" said Aunt Qing standing aside.
"What do you think? With her temperament, how can she be willing to give up? If it were anyone else, she would have long since lost her memory and not dare to cause trouble," the old lady said.
"Old madam, do you mean that the princess still wants to deal with Miss Tan'er?" Aunt Qing said.
"I'm afraid the person we have to deal with at the flower viewing party is not Tan'er, but another one," the old lady said.
Aunt Qing said in surprise: "Princess Princess still wants to deal with Princess Yunluo?"
"That's right. I originally thought that she would be able to restrain herself after suffering a lot, but I didn't expect that she is still so willful. What happened just now makes me still a little frightened. If it weren't for someone reporting to me, I don't know what she would do.
What happened? This girl really should be taught a lesson." said the old lady.
"The princess has suffered a lot this time in the palace. Logically speaking, she should be sensible. Why would she do this?" said Aunt Qing.
"Before the concubine left, she told Tan'er to watch the princess carefully and not to let her do anything that would disappoint you. It's a pity that Tan'er is useless and can't persuade the princess," Tan'er said.
"You have tried your best, not to mention, you almost died. No doubt, I know you don't want to tell me, but I have already inquired. Ning'er's original plan was to cut out your tongue and throw you into a brothel, right?"
The old lady said.
"It turns out that even mother knows." Tan'er said.
"You should go and have a rest. There will be a flower viewing party in a few days, but what should we do?" the old lady said.
"Why should mother care? If Tan'er's face is not healed by then, she will enter the palace wearing a veil." Tan'er said.
"That's fine," the old lady said.
Murong Xi soon found out about this incident, and immediately sent Ru Shi, who was beside him, to the Chengjun Prince's Mansion.
"Old Madam, the girl next to Princess Pluto, please see the Old Madam." Aunt Qing said.
"Invite her in quickly, maybe Princess Hades has something to give you," the old lady said.
"Yes." Aunt Qing asked people to go to the front hall and invite Rushi in.
"I've met the old lady." Ru Shi said.
"I wonder if the girl has any explanation for coming today?" the old lady said.
"Our lady didn't have anything to say, she was just worried about the old lady's health. Our lady just learned today that you adopted a girl as your goddaughter a few days ago, so she came here specially to send some things. I hope that the old lady and
Don't dislike it, girl." Rushi said.
After Ru Shi finished speaking, he handed the box in his hand to the old lady.
"The top contains thousand-year-old wild ginseng, which is used to replenish the old lady's health. The bottom contains some small things, which are given to the girl." Rushi said with a smile.
"Thank you, girl, thank your princess for me." the old lady said.
