Chapter 50: The Government is Ruled by Military Regulations
"Strong words!" Chen Shangshu said angrily, "Shui Qing has been in Prince Xuan's Mansion for a few years. She has always been polite and self-restrained and has lived in peace. However, as soon as the princess entered the house, she caused trouble one after another. This is obviously the princess's own problem!
"
"It's my own problem. Because I am Princess Xuan, my appearance can only make her destined to be the concubine for a lifetime, so it is not surprising that she would do something beyond the bounds of etiquette." Lin Xiner's tone was calm and calm.
Slow down, with just the right amount of intensity. He was neither angry because of being criticized by Chen Shangshu, nor was he as weak as usual.
"Exceeding the etiquette? What did Shui Qing do that warrants his life?" Chen Shangshu trembled with his gray beard, "Today I will seek justice for Shui Qing at the Grand Master's Mansion! There have always been turmoil in the harem, but it never happened.
Nothing so cruel has ever happened!"
"Master Chen, my Prince Xuan's Palace is not comparable to the Harem." Ximen Jingxuan, who had been silent all this time, said.
"Yes, the old minister made a mistake." Chen Shangshu tried his best to calm down his emotions and nodded.
"Prince Xuan's Mansion is not the emperor's harem, but it is the power involved by this king. I govern the palace with military discipline, and the women in the backyard are no exception. Therefore, the word "use as a warning" is naturally much stricter when used in Prince Xuan's Mansion than in ordinary places. Xuan
The palace cannot tolerate any mistakes." Ximen Jingxuan's voice was indifferent and dignified, and there was no point in punishing Mrs. Shui Qing severely, showing his cruel and ruthless side.
"With the princess in Prince Xuan's Mansion, the princess should make the final decision on women's affairs. Even if the prince uses military power to punish the prince, the princess must know how to persuade. After all, the prince's palace is not as good as the battlefield. However, Princess Xuan is obviously gloating about the misfortune, and she has no intention of monopolizing the palace.
And Yu, dare I ask the Grand Master, could the princess’s vicious thoughts be due to the teachings in the Grand Master’s residence?” Chen Shangshu did not dare to confront Ximen Jingxuan, and took a step back, turning to Lin Bo, who had not spoken for a long time.
Mrs. Shui Qing was severely beaten, and someone must be responsible, otherwise how could he have the dignity of a dignified minister?
Chen Shangshu insisted that Lin Xiner was causing trouble, and at the same time pointed the finger at Lin Xiner's background.
Lin Bo, an important minister with a different surname who was almost equal to the royal family, had long been jealous of other courtiers. This time, someone found out about Lin Bo, so he would not let go easily.
After Chen Shangshu saw the dying Mrs. Shui Qing who was sent back, he immediately gathered the support of a group of officials, so he came to the Taishi Mansion with great fanfare, even sabotaging Prince Xuan's return banquet.
By causing trouble in the Grand Master's Mansion, he would be freed from the suspicion of directly dealing with Prince Xuan, which is what Chen Shangshu and his group considered. Now he is just an old man in the dusk who is complaining about his granddaughter.
"Master Chen," before Lin Bo could say anything, Liu Suixiang on the side couldn't hold it in anymore and said first, "Although Lin Xiner is the eldest lady in the Grand Master's Mansion, this eldest lady has lost her biological mother since she was a child.
, arrogant and domineering, and the Grand Master and I are very affectionate people. It's a pity that she lost her biological mother and was reluctant to bear heavy responsibilities, so she developed such a personality. She just thought it was willful, but who knew she had a vicious side."
"Doesn't this mean that the Taishi Mansion is negligent in discipline?" Chen Shangshu retorted angrily.
Lin Bo glanced at the quick-tongued Liu Suixiang coldly, took a step forward, and said, "Mr. Chen, my mind is uncertain. Maybe I just didn't dare to disobey the prince, so I didn't take the place of Shui Qingfu.
People beg for mercy.”
Just imagine, how many people dared to stand up and resist when King Xuan spoke? Wasn’t it just like Chen Shangshu himself was a little scrupulous about Ximen Jingxuan and did not dare to face accountability? He just pointed the finger at their father and daughter, thinking that he
Is it easier to deal with someone with a foreign surname?
"Don't you dare? Dare you ask Princess Xuan, what happened to Mrs. Shui Qing's ankle injury?" Chen Shangshu interrogated Lin Xiner again. Although he also knew that Lin Bo's words were reasonable, he would never admit it.
Mrs. Shui Qing was indeed punished because of Lin Xiner.
"Mrs. Shui Qing said that she fell and couldn't stand up. I'm just confirming it." Lin Xiner said calmly, pointing out Madam Shui Qing's attempt to frame her and making it clear to Chen.
Minister, she is not just waiting to be bitten. His granddaughter is responsible for all the consequences.
"Confirmation? Why not an inspection?" Chen Shangshu asked, "As Princess Xuan, she does not know how to maintain peace, but instead adds fuel to the fire and causes trouble. How can she deserve the name of a princess? The Taishi Mansion neglects to discipline the princess.
It’s hard to escape the blame!”
"Okay." Ximen Jingxuan said with some impatience. He stood up, walked to the door of the hall, and stood next to Lin Xiner, "Lin Xiner is the princess whom I personally requested. Master Chen is also accusing him when he says this.
The king is not kind to people. Mrs. Shui Qing tried to frame the princess first, and then the princess would not do anything wrong. The king punished Shui Qing and expelled him from the palace for the sake of purity. It has nothing to do with the princess. Today in Japan
The king has accompanied the princess back to the Grand Master's Mansion. There is no need to eat the lunch. As for the princess——"
Ximen Jingxuan turned to Lin Xiner beside him, "According to the rules, you can stay one night at the Imperial Master's Mansion..."
"No need!" Before Ximen Jingxuan finished speaking, Lin Xiner interrupted, "I will go back to the house with the prince."
"That's fine. Go back with me so that I can rest assured." Ximen Jingxuan nodded.
The words are very plain, but they have profound meaning when people listen to them.
For Prince Xuan, who was indifferent by nature, simply saying "Don't worry" was already extraordinary. In the eyes of everyone, Prince Xuan cared about the princess.
From the time he got married to this time, Prince Xuan's attitude toward Lin Xin'er was completely opposite to that of the Crown Prince at that time. Lin Xin'er seemed to have transformed from a worthless broken jar that fell on the ground to a jade bottle that was held in the palm of his hand, fearing that she would be
Broken.
Lin Xiner saw that Chen Shangshu looked at her with hatred when he heard Ximen Jingxuan's words. The more Ximen Jingxuan showed that he cared about her, the more she became the target of Chen Shangshu's revenge for his granddaughter, and even her
Limbaugh's father was also unfortunately shot.
Ximen Jingxuan took Lin Xiner and left the Taishi Mansion, leaving a mess for Lin Bo to clean up.
"Ke'er has met the prince!"
As soon as she went out, she met Lin Ke'er who had just returned home. Only then did Lin Xiner realize that it was no wonder that Lin Ke'er had not been seen. It turned out that she was not in the house at all.
"I've met the emperor." Ximen Hai, who was following Lin Ke'er, also saluted Ximen Jingxuan.
Lin Xiner looked at Ximen Hai calmly. From his appearance, she recognized his identity. He was a very energetic young man, but he was very simple and not as noble as other young men. I heard that he was
To save Ximen Jingyu, he was always kneeling down as the head of the Taishi Mansion and was very filial. It was probably at that time that he met Lin Keer.
