Queen's scheming

Chapter 427 Hejing's Birthday (Part [-])

Shen Qingyi's voice became more and more icy, falling like frost on the silent banquet, even the courtiers in the outer hall were infected by this atmosphere, they did not dare to let out the atmosphere, they lowered their heads one after another, not even looking at Li Tianyou dare not!

"Madam Zhen Guogong, what you mean is that Young Master Qi from your mansion went into the water to rescue Princess Hejing that day?" In addition to the coldness, there was also a hint of sarcasm in the voice.

On weekdays, the Zheng family would definitely not have confronted Shen Qingyi like this. After all, Tang Aoxue had passed away, and the Zheng family really had no capital, but now she had to seize this opportunity desperately to implement this matter, so she simply He replied: "This is the truth, not just what I said by my wife. Now it is spread all over the capital. If it is not true, how can it be spread? I ask the empress to check it out!"

The voice in the inner hall suddenly fell silent, but Tang Zihan waved to Wei Feiyue and said, "You go to the inner hall to pay a visit. You were the one who followed the princess to the Duke of Zhen's mansion. You are naturally aware of what happened that day. what happened!"

After Tang Zihan finished speaking, he looked at Lord Zhen with a half-smile. Lord Zhen was afraid that Tang Zihan would take this opportunity to turn black and white and easily expose the matter, so he quickly pushed Tang Ziqi beside him and said: " Since I want to explain the situation that day, as the party involved, how can I avoid it, why don't I let Qi Geer go in and explain it."

There was no expression on Li Tianyou's face, he just nodded coldly.

Duke Zhen couldn't help telling Tang Ziqi: "You have to answer truthfully. Whatever happened that day, just say what you said. Don't lie!"

Tang Ziqi was in high spirits, thinking that he could overwhelm the arrogant princess, he was so excited, he followed Wei Feiyue, and was about to walk to the inner hall, but he was caught by something unknown Fortunately, Wei Feiyue had quick eyesight and quick hands, and supported Tang Ziqi. Tang Ziqi expressed his gratitude repeatedly, but Wei Feiyue said with a pious face: "Mr. For helping Wei, what Wei has done is just repaying the gratitude of that day!"

As soon as Wei Feiyue said this, the fine-looking courtiers in the main hall didn't understand anything, they just ate their own vegetables, and those who ate wine ate wine, pretending that they didn't hear it. Letting one's son marry the princess depends on whether the emperor is happy or not. It is obvious that the emperor and the empress are not satisfied with this marriage!
Although Tang Ziqi was only ten years old, he was still not stupid. He naturally understood that Wei Feiyue was going to stand on the side of the Queen and Princess Hejing, but how could he let this daughter-in-law run away? After only a few steps, he was furious After arriving at the inner hall, after kneeling down to salute, he directly asked Princess Xiang Hejing: "Princess, I saved the life of the princess that day, but the princess refuses to admit it now?"

Princess Hejing was dragged by Shen Qingyi, and she was not allowed to open her mouth. Wei Feiyue answered the words naturally: "Wei doesn't quite understand Mr. Qi's words, why Mr. Qi and Lingtang act like the princess owes you a lot of kindness generally?"

Wei Feiyue was famous for his quick mouth, before Mrs. Zhen Guogong and Tang Ziqi could refute, she opened her mouth and said, "It's true that the princess fell into the water that day, but the princess has excellent water skills, and there are guards around her to protect her, so she was out of the predicament very quickly. , Mr. Qi just happened to appear in the garden, he gave his hand, the emperor and the empress have rewarded you, don't you think you are not satisfied, and you actually said bluntly that it was Mr. Qi who saved the princess by himself?"

"Strange ways are spreading in the capital. Wei thought that the world was spreading rumors. He always thought that the rumors would only stop at the wise, so he didn't take it seriously. He didn't expect that the rumors would come from the Duke's mansion. Princess Hejing is only six years old. At the age of [-], I was so playful that I went to the Duke's Mansion to play, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen!" Wei Feiyue looked very contemptuous, and snorted coldly!
How could Tang Ziqi bear this kind of attitude, so he immediately retorted: "It was I who saved the princess that day, there is no guard around the princess, if I hadn't entered the water to save the princess, how could she be standing here in good condition now! Hmph , Xia Ri’s clothes are thin, and I’ve seen Princess He Jing’s body all over, and now I want to deny it, it’s too late, even if the princess refuses to be my daughter-in-law, who in this capital is willing to marry her!”

"Give me a slap!" Shen Qingyi immediately became angry, Mi Yurou glared at Hejing, and Princess Hejing shed tears in a suitable way, and said with a sob: "Mother, why is this person so confusing black and white? Destroy the reputation of the minister!" There was still a little childish voice in the voice!
Wei Feiyue didn't wait for anyone else to do it, and personally gave Tang Ziqi two slaps. He slapped Tang Ziqi with great measure. He couldn't see anything on the outside, but it hurt a lot inside. I can't open my mouth anymore!

Wei Feiyue continued: "Mr. Qi, even if you want to fabricate a lie, you should have a sense of proportion. For one thing, Princess Hejing has been swimming since elementary school. Let alone a small lake in your town's mansion. The living water brought in from outside the palace cannot submerge the princess; secondly, what is the status of the princess, how can she not follow people around when she goes to the garden; thirdly, there is no one around the princess. There is no one to wait on you? Mr. Qi, a foreigner, can appear in the garden and just happen to save the princess? What is the reason for this?"

As soon as Wei Feiyue finished speaking, the inner and outer halls became lively, didn't they?This Princess Hejing is the emperor and empress, the treasure in the hands of the imperial concubine, how could there be no one to follow her around, and they made it clear that Princess Hejing is a master at all, how can anyone help her?

Mrs. Zhen Guo looked at this posture, how could she not understand, Shen Qingyi and the others have not explained, they have not even suppressed the rumors outside the palace, they are waiting for her here.The palace didn't know about Qi Geer's rescue of Princess Hejing at all, so naturally they wouldn't believe the rumors outside the palace, thinking it would be self-defeating, so they ignored it, such an explanation is really reasonable!
But how could Mrs. Zheng let go of this opportunity? If the marriage between Qi Ge'er and Princess Hejing does not become a big deal now, it will be impossible to have a relationship with Princess Hejing in the future, so Mrs. Zheng He also gritted his teeth and gave it up.

"The empress loves Princess Hejing, and my wife can understand, and I understand what the empress means. It's all because of my wife's stupidity. That day, Brother Qi didn't save Princess Hejing, and Princess Hejing didn't fall into the water. The woman made it up!" Mrs. Zheng is retreating, looking like she wants to talk, and looks wronged and aggrieved!
Shen Qingyi glared at Zheng Shi angrily, but before she opened her mouth, Concubine Shu's mother, Concubine Zhuangjun, got up, comforted Zheng Shi with some regret, and said: "Madam Zhen Guogong, you feel sorry for your youngest son, and I do too. I understand, but you can't confuse right and wrong like this, can you? Princess Hejing is only six years old, and the young master Qi in your mansion actually has such a plan. After all, young master Qi is only ten years old, how could it involve a marriage? Got it? Young Master Qi is still talking rudely, Princess Hejing is the proud daughter of heaven, why do you have to marry him!"

Mrs. Zheng climbed up the pole and said: "My concubine's lesson is that we, Qigeer, have been taught by our ministers since we were young that men and women are not close to each other. They think that he hugged Princess Hejing, and when he saw Princess Hejing's body after falling into the water, he must If he wants to marry a princess, he is thinking about it too, how can a royal princess be the same as an ordinary boudoir daughter!"

Concubine Zhuangjun's face changed, it was because she could still say a few words on weekdays, to show some face to Mrs. Zhen Guogong, who would have thought that the Zheng family would use her!

The complexion of the eldest concubine of Zhuangjun Prince's Mansion also changed. The princess is the biological mother of Concubine Shu. When has she ever been treated like this? Mrs. Zheng did not say that she went down the steps, but even climbed up. But she is the daughter-in-law of the concubine. The descendants of Mrs. Zhen Guogong were unable to step forward to speak, so they couldn't help turning their eyes to the pungent Mrs. Yongquanhou Fu.

The Young Madam of Yongquanhou's Mansion could not bear to look at her for a long time. The Concubine Shi Zi gave her a look, and she immediately strode out, first bowed to Shen Qingyi, and then said: "Theoretically, the minister's wife is a junior, so she shouldn't be here. Said, but in the capital city, everyone knows what kind of temperament the minister's wife is, so the minister's wife does not shy away from it!"

Shen Qingyi nodded at her, and the Young Madam of Yongquanhou's Mansion seemed to be holding a golden arrow, and immediately pointed the finger at Mrs. Zheng, saying: "Mrs. There was no one following Princess Jing, and there was no one else in the garden of Duke Zhen's mansion, but the princess couldn't swim, so she stumbled and fell into the lake. The sick and weak Young Master Qi from your mansion rushed over?"

A majestic lady of the Zheng family, was actually very dissatisfied when she was told by a downgraded young lady of the Hou family, but in front of Shen Qingyi, she couldn't get angry, so she replied coldly: "There is indeed something wrong. Coincidentally, this is indeed the truth, otherwise I would be fine, why bother to slander Princess Hejing and ruin Princess Royal's reputation!"

The Young Madam of the Marquis of Yongquan laughed, without concealing the ridicule in her mouth, and raised her voice: "Madam Guogong said this, is this a coincidence? If it is really what Madam Guogong said, then it is not planned by someone. Okay? Tangtang Guogong’s mansion, is it even inferior to our Yongquanhou’s mansion? In the back garden of our Marquis’ mansion, there are no less than ten servants serving them. Even if someone falls into the water, it’s not the master’s turn to rescue him man!"

"As for Mrs. Guo, why did she want to ruin the princess's reputation? It's not difficult to guess. I heard that because of such rumors, Master Qi will be changed to the crown prince? You haven't married the princess yet. For such a great benefit, if the minister's wife is a madam, she will naturally be anxious about this matter and refuse to let it go!" said the Young Madam of Yongquanhou's Mansion with a face full of disdain.

"It's just that, this person, it's better not to go too far. Princess Hejing is only six years old. Don't say she fell into the water and was seen by others, so what can she do if she swims in the lake? It's just a baby. Mrs. Zhen Guogong really calculated too early! The majestic Mrs. Guogong is not even as good as the rules of the concubines of the merchants, and she will use such indecent methods, which is really despised!" said the words Everyone in the hall nodded again and again.

Zheng rolled her eyes even more, and pouted over!The reputation and decency of her Duke's wife are completely ruined!
