The Ninth Prince stood alone by the window, recalling the little things that happened after Xiao Ting entered the mansion.
Think about her being different.
She never cared about other things, but in order to love her aunt the most, her request was frustrated, and she bribed him with what she thought was valuable, but what she brought back was women's accessories.
It was agreed to leave him alone, but when he died, he risked his life to save him.
Seemingly warm but sometimes cold.
It seems random but has its own bottom line.
Butler Mu said that the princess has a prince in her heart.
But the way she looked at him was never infatuated or attached.
It seems that he is dispensable, but what about him
He made it clear that he would not be tempted by anyone in this life, but this topsy-turvy and messy woman walked into his heart unknowingly.
I don't know when, let alone where, just like this, when he knew that she was going to reconcile with him and leave the palace, his heart that had been silent for twenty years...
Instantly panicked...
And the reason why he asked Butler Mu to send the news to Zhaohua was to create opportunities for her.
Chance to enter the palace.
once!
the last time!
It was also the only time in this life, if she didn't want to be burdened by him, then he would seal his heart and let her go.
When Xiao Ting arrived at the palace, the emperor was still in Ci'an Palace.
Discuss with the Empress Dowager, "Mother, can you find a way to make Xiao Jiu accept this marriage."
The empress dowager was surprised, "The emperor did all this for his own good, so could it be that he would still refuse?"
After all, the emperor got close to the Ninth Prince, understood his thoughts, smiled wryly, and said: "I bet, Xiao Jiu is not in a coma at all, she just doesn't want to go to the palace to see me."
So when he secretly said that the Ninth Prince was in a coma, and refused to let the imperial doctor Xuan, he understood everything.
"You mean, he pretended to be sick on purpose." The Empress Dowager looked surprised, "Didn't he like Ling Yue? Back then..."
The emperor interrupted her and said: "Mother, don't mention what happened back then. I still know Xiao Jiu's temperament. He is not very satisfied with this marriage."
What a headache, I didn't expect it to happen like this before.
"Then, can he still resist the decree?"
The empress dowager was quite talkative about the fact that the emperor had always yielded to the Ninth Prince.
After all, his son is the emperor, why should he ask the Ninth Prince about everything, let alone that kid is still so young.
If it wasn't for his poor health and falling asleep at every turn, the empress dowager would not have allowed him to stay by the emperor's side for so many years.
How dangerous that is.
But now, it's different...
When Xiao Ting asked where she was, she brought only two maidservants and went straight to kill them.
Of course there is also Princess Zhaohua and a group of people.
Straight into Ci'an Palace.
"Grandmother, you want to make the decision for your grandson, but Xiao Ting actually beat her grandson."
Even though the empress dowager had seen too many big scenes, she was also surprised when she saw the dark spots on Zhaohua's face.
"What happened to your face?"
Which woman does not love beauty, in Lanyue Courtyard, Zhaohua passed out directly, and when she woke up, she knew the marks on her face, and she didn't even have the courage to take a look in the mirror.
Seeing the empress dowager's expression at this moment, I immediately knew how miserable it was.
"Ah, Xiao Ting, I'm going to kill you." After saying that, he ran towards Xiao Ting who came in later.
Open teeth and claws, aggressive.
Behind Xiao Ting, Bing Ning stepped out, her eyes were cold, staring coldly at Zhao Hua who was about to rush over.
Standing in front of Xiao Ting alone.
Xiao Ting also stopped, standing there cheerfully.
Seeing Bing Ning's posture, Hong Shao was a little uneasy.
The last time she entered the palace, this woman dared to attack the guards, but this time she is going to make trouble again.
But she still has to stay by the master's side, even if something happens, she can stand in the way.
Seeing Bing Ning, Zhaohua immediately turned a corner and turned back, "Grandmother, you have to make decisions for your grandson!"
This time, Zhaohua's heart and eyes were all about the empress dowager, and even the emperor ignored it.
The Empress Dowager didn't have time to talk to Xiao Ting, so she quickly asked someone to fetch water to clean the princess's face.
I never thought I could see it without washing it, but after washing it, the ink was gone, but the face couldn't be seen at all.
Here, before the empress dowager could stop her, she saw Zhaohua eagerly lying down in front of the mirror to take a picture, and when she stared at her, a sharp cry came out.
Like being terribly frightened.
Even the palace people guarding outside Ci'an Palace trembled while working.
What happened to Princess Zhaohua? How could she make such a voice? Was she sentenced to death
But this is the imperial palace, she is the girl of heaven, who dares to punish her
So, everyone speculated one after another, and moved to the palace gate, wanting to inquire about the news.
As a result, the door of the main hall slammed shut, blocking all curiosity.
"Grandmother, Zhaohua doesn't want to live anymore..."
"Ahh..."
Behind the bead curtain, Zhaohua jumped up and down, covering his face with a brocade handkerchief and refusing to let go.
"Xiao Ting, what did you do to the princess?"
The empress dowager couldn't persuade her grandson, so she had to ask Xiao Ting.
With a face full of anger, sparks almost appeared in Xiao Ting's eyes.
But Miss Xiao Liu, the culprit, is sitting on the ground in the center of the main hall at this moment. Of course, there is a cushion under her buttocks, which was made by the little girl with red spoon.
There is no way, after standing for so long, her master's legs must be tired, and the two above did not give her a seat, so she had to make do with it and sit on the ground.
"Ah? You finally think of me. If you don't ask me any more questions, I'm going to doze off."
Xiao Ting patted her leg, didn't get up, said: "You said Zhaohua's face, it's okay, our friends are fighting and fighting, just teach her a lesson."
"...", you are friends, but Zhaohua is also a princess, not a commoner woman.
"She is a princess, if you dare to treat her like this, aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"
The empress dowager deeply felt that Xiao Ting did not match her character, and every time she was pissed off.
Xiao Ting sneered, her eyes full of brilliance, full of confidence, "Unless you want Zhaohua to live with a face full of turtles all his life."
That's right, before Zhaohua washed his face, it looked dark and messy, but now after washing it, what appeared were three big turtles, and there were many small ones in the gaps between his cheeks, extending from his forehead to his neck.
I don't know how to draw it.
Zhaohua's whole face was very funny and ridiculous, everyone saw it naturally, but no one dared to laugh.
"No one can threaten the palace." The empress dowager glanced at it, and the emperor, who had been silent all this time, was a little dissatisfied.
If it was someone else, the emperor would have issued a decree to punish him long ago, but it was precisely because this little girl was Xiao Lingyue's seductive niece.
So, Xiao Ting hurt his most beloved daughter, yet he is still so indulgent
It really pissed her off.
Xiao Ting was speechless, "Quiet the empress dowager, I don't mean to threaten you, I'm just stating a fact."
Facts, facts, your sister, you are a threat, a clear and undiminished threat.
"You are really not afraid of death, humiliating the current princess is a serious crime?" The emperor still pretended to be dumb, and the empress dowager had to try again.
Xiao Ting curled her lips and didn't explain much.
"Who is not afraid of death? But my life is very precious, okay?"
It was precisely because of this that she appeared in the palace, otherwise, who would want to face this dead old woman looking for trouble.
Xiao Ting slandered secretly, then said again in a flash.
"Actually, if the empress dowager wants to understand it as a threat, it's okay. I just came to ask why the empress dowager and the emperor want to reduce me to a commoner?"
"But what heinous thing have I done?"
Speaking of the Empress Dowager, there is something to say, and the pupils stood up, "You still dare to mention this, you are the Ninth Princess. You don't want to revitalize the Ninth Palace, manage the affairs of the Palace, wander outside all day, and dare to take the only son of the Ninth Palace out. If something happens, who will be responsible?"
"It's not that I am willing to take her there, Xiaoyun insists on following me."
Xiao Ting was also very speechless, who could control Chu Yun's temperament, at least she couldn't.
"How can you say that you are also Xiaoyun's concubine mother, and you can't even control this? Then what's the use of you?" The empress dowager scolded coldly, very dissatisfied with Xiao Ting.
Can't even watch a child.
"That's not what I want." Xiao Ting muttered, feeling a little wronged, and retorted: "At the beginning, the emperor gave me and the Ninth Prince a marriage. I used to live a good life, not to mention how comfortable it was. But when the imperial decree came, I had no choice but to obediently marry someone, otherwise I would lose my head."
"Look, look at my little body, I'm still so delicate, I haven't grown up yet, I'm going to marry someone, and I'm going to learn to be someone else's wife, does it make sense?"
Xiao Ting spoke more and more vigorously, and slapped her small chest loudly, "Can this be my fault?"
Everyone was speechless, and blamed the emperor for this incident.
"Nonsense!" The Empress Dowager reprimanded lightly, "The emperor bestowed the marriage in the hope that you would love each other and run the Ninth Prince's Mansion well together, but how can a vulgar, incompetent and disrespectful woman like you have the qualifications to be the mistress of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and how can she teach Chu Yun well?"
Disrespectful of etiquette
What happened to her
"That's the same with me back then. You can't use me to celebrate the Ninth Prince's death just because the Ninth Prince is about to die. Now that the Ninth Prince's illness is almost cured, you just push me away."
"At that time, why didn't you think I was vulgar and incompetent, and I was not polite. Now that I have cured the Ninth Prince's illness, you all think that my place is not good, that's not good, and you want to divorce me.
Could it be that all the good things in this world have been taken over by your royal family, what do you say? Is there any law of heaven, is there any law of the king? "
Xiao Ting originally wanted to argue with her, but she didn't expect the empress dowager to speak so harshly, she was anxious at that time.
There is no way to speak, and what comes to mind can be said without thinking about it.
Hehe, the result is that the empress dowager is going to be dizzy by her again.
"You are simply presumptuous to the extreme."
The empress dowager was really so angry that her heart heaved up and down, and a mouthful of old blood gushed there, neither up nor down.
The atmosphere in the main hall became extraordinarily serious, and in the inner hall, Zhaohua's crying also stopped at some point.
"I, am I wrong? Is it clearly the case? Why did you lower me to a commoner this time
What big mistake did I make, you want to demote me to concubine, and the emperor, I want to ask you, why did I become a commoner again? "
