He Yaoguang answered subconsciously, "The peonies in the palace are all sent to Concubine Yao's palace. Usually they have already started at this time..."

Speaking of this, she seemed to have thought of something, her pupils trembled, and she could barely maintain the expression on her face.

Yan Conling still looked calm and calm, "I remember that Concubine Yao's nickname seemed to be Mei'er. She started to like peonies after entering the palace, right?"

Her investigations never stop.

He Yaoguang didn't speak, but his eyes gradually darkened.

He leaned out of the stone bridge and whistled downwards. Looking at the koi carp underneath which had been warmed by the spell and began to swim, Yan Conngling smiled and said, "Senior Sister He, you are still like this, your reaction is always half a beat slower than mine. …”

He Yaoguang could still control the previous ones.

This sentence really broke through the defense.

"Go to hell you!"

She stretched out her hand and pushed hard, and the girl's body suddenly seemed like a kite with its string broken, and she fell straight from the bridge into the water with surprise.

Wow.

The koi in the pond were frightened and scattered.

Everyone was caught off guard by this turn of events. It took a long time to react, and several noble ladies led by Zhou Ningyu quickly took their maids and stepped forward to fish for him.

The pool is actually not deep enough to drown anyone.

However, the spring cold was severe and my daughter's family was weak, so many girls felt the same way and sweated. So much so that I forgot that Yan Conngling was a disciple of Yunshan, and his physical strength was incomparable to others.

"Miss Yan!"

Zhou Ningyu supported the person and saw that she was soaked and cold, so she quickly took the cloak she had brought with her and put it on her.

I had heard in the past that the two of them were not getting along, but I didn't expect that they could do something today in the palace in full view of everyone...

"I am fine."

Meeting her worried eyes, Yan Conling waved her hand, took a step back and distanced herself silently, "Miss Zhou, I still have something to say to the princess."

She didn't want to involve Zhou Ningyu in today's matter.

The evil things are evil, the farther away the better.

As if aware of her alienation, Zhou Ningyu let go of her hand and did not continue to follow. Just looking at the girl's wet back, she walked up to He Yaoguang with water marks on her feet.

"how?"

The woman raised her chin with no fear. She only glanced at her and sneered, "I am now the princess personally chosen by the imperial concubine. Do you still want to fight back, junior sister?"

Pulling the cloak on her shoulders, Yan Conling stood still in front of her and secretly moved her back molars.

He Yaoguang is a difficult opponent.

Although he said he was not afraid of her, this gentle slap had no effect and could not achieve his goal. The blow was so severe that the other party would probably spend the next half of her life thinking about how to pay her back...

"Junior sister, she advises you to be more sensible."

He raised his neck higher, but He Yaoguang's eyes showed urging.

It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with her nagging at critical moments.

Yan Conngling sighed secretly, half-raised his hand, and before he could land the slap he had accumulated, a pale-faced little maid suddenly ran up not far away.

"Oops, Miss Second! Something happened!"

Among the crowd, Zhou Ningyu, who had been stationary before, immediately stepped forward, grabbed the maid's hand and asked hurriedly, "Didn't you follow the third lady to change the clothes that accidentally got wet? Why did you come here alone? , where is the third sister?"

The maid was young, and it was the first time she saw the good-tempered Zhou Ningyu speaking so sternly, and she was trembling with fear.

"Third, Miss Third..."

"Sixth Princess." The words were interrupted. Yan Conling turned around and recognized the eldest maid who was accompanying Concubine Yao. The people around Concubine Yao all had the same personality as their master, like crabs, but their attitude towards He Yaoguang was respectful.

"Princess, something happened over there. Your Majesty, please come over and keep me company."

"it is good."

He Yaoguang agreed, seeming to be accustomed to this kind of companionship.

When she wanted to leave, the group of noble ladies headed by her naturally followed.

A group of people gathered in front of a side hall in the corner, where the sedan carriages of the emperor and his concubines were already parked.

Wuyangyang people, the light is a bit dark.

Yan Conngling followed He Yaoguang to the front, lowered her gaze, and suddenly met a pair of dark eyes.

She was stunned.

Ning Junzhan, who was kneeling on the ground with no clothes on, seemed to pause.

On such a cold day, he only wore a thin snow-white undershirt, with his long hair hanging loose. At this moment, the hands hanging by his sides were clenched very tightly, and the veins on the back of the hands were almost transparent and white.

He is more like a prisoner than the crown prince of a country.

There is a faint sweet scent of incense remaining in the air. There were traces of rouge on the lapel that was not covered in time, and there was a young woman in the same disheveled clothes kneeling next to him, hugging him and shivering. How could there be anything he didn't understand?

"Third sister..."

Zhou Ningyu murmured and almost collapsed.

Falling into the water and drugging are the most well-known and least popular methods for each other.

But also brutally effective.

Zhou Shangshu had many children, but Zhou Ningyu was the only daughter born to him by his first wife. And today, the person who was caught in public together with the prince was the concubine's third daughter, Zhou Ningzhu.

Concubine Yao in the center lit up when she saw He Yaoguang.

"Yao'er, come to my mother and concubine quickly."

Yan Conngling followed him over.

Concubine Yao seemed to have no intention of paying attention to her. She just grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand, as if she had caught some amulet, and wouldn't let go. On the other hand, Queen Wu, who was on the other side of the emperor, saw her with gentle eyes.

"Your Majesty."

Pointing at the two people on the ground, Concubine Yao raised her eyebrows and said, "It's hard to let go of my love for my concubine, so why not just make this couple happy?"

"Zhan'er." The old emperor narrowed his eyes, a look of impatience appeared on his face, "What do you think?"

The spring cold seeps into the bones and penetrates every hole. It was like a lingering sensation, slowly creeping up to the throat along the knees. Ning Junzhan was kneeling there with his head bowed. His shoulder bones were so thin that they looked a bit jagged, making him think of an eagle with its wings cut off.

"My sons and ministers...all listen to my father."

At this point, he has no choice.

Her eyes fell on her son, Empress Wu sighed softly, and compromised as if she was thinking of something, "This girl from Zhou Shangshu's family is also a good girl, but now that this happened... the daughter's family always suffers, and her reputation is damaged. In this case, why not just let Zhan'er marry as the crown princess."

No one dared to say anything, only their eyes flickered.

Logically speaking, it is a big deal for a prince to marry a princess, and at least his natal family must be able to support him. Zhou Ningzhu was born as a concubine, so even if she couldn't lose her face in the trouble today, she should be made a concubine and be done with it.

But luckily for her, she met Empress Wu who felt pity for her, and she directly reached the position of Crown Princess.

From the beginning to the end, Ning Junzhan never straightened up, as if trying to hide his embarrassment. He pressed his forehead tightly against the cold ground again, his voice calmed down.

"My sons and ministers...all obey the arrangements of my father, the queen and my queen."
