Princess Yaoyi looked suspicious and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Is the old princess allowed to talk behind your back?" She opened the imperial edict in her hand and read it.
At first glance, Yaoyi's face became colorful, sometimes green and sometimes white. If the emperor directly stated that Chu Jihan could only marry Su Ningxin and could not have concubines, who would dare to disobey the emperor? His will
Aren't they all a joke? Unless Dayong destroys the country or someone usurps the throne, they will never be able to enter the gate of the county prince's palace in their lifetime.
That's not right. If you marry Prince An, you might be able to enter, but who wants to marry an old man? He will still be under the control of the princess. Prince An has not taken a concubine for ten years.
Seeing Princess Yaoyi's expression, the other girls couldn't help but come over to take a look. Their expressions were similar to Yaoyi's, and they just felt like they were happy for nothing.
At this time, they heard noisy noises coming from the lake. They were worried that someone would find out that they had stolen the edict, so they hurriedly put the edict back into the ancestral hall.
When they came out and rushed to the lake, they happened to see Liu Pei'er being rescued by a woman who could float, so she followed the others back to the old princess's yard.
So at this time, Princess Yaoyi and the others looked at Liu Pei'er who was performing so hard, and all they could do was ridicule, so what if you try your best? If an imperial edict is suppressed, you won't get anything.
"Ahem, what happened to grandma?" Su Ningxin arrived late and looked like she was about to faint as soon as she entered the door.
The old princess wanted to question her about the winter bottle. After all, her maid was punished. The old princess couldn't bear to swallow it. But thinking that there were more important things now, she forced herself to endure it and explained patiently. what's going on.
Finally, he said, "Ning'er, look at the current situation. Our county prince's palace invites Miss Liu to be a guest. If something happens to our palace, let her go to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law."
[Being a sister-in-law? You really underestimate me. How can such a good thing happen?]
Su Ningxin snorted secretly, looking at Miss Liu with a troubled face, as if she was very hesitant and didn't know what to do.
Liu Pei'er was also good at observing people's words. When she saw Su Ningxin's appearance, she immediately knelt down and crawled in front of Su Ningxin and begged, "Please give Pei'er a way to live, my concubine."
"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough." Su Ningxin coughed crazily again, scaring Liu Pei'er so much that she stepped back, fearing that something bad would happen to the princess.
When Su Ningxin calmed down and before she could speak, the maid's voice came from outside, saying that it was the red girl next to the princess who came to deliver a message.
"The princess said that the old princess's house is full of girls who have not left the palace, and it is not appropriate for the prince to come over, so I left lunch at the princess's place." After entering the house, Hong Ni said to the old princess in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
The old princess refused, "How could Xiaohan act like this? Because he has become a mess here, and Liu Pei'er's innocence is also involved, how can he stay out of it?"
Hongjiu didn't know the cause and effect, and was stunned when she was asked. At this time, Su Ningxin took over the words and said, "Grandma, calm down. I just wanted to say it. After my husband left the garden, he went to the mother-in-law's yard and never came back. , how could we meet Miss Liu by the lake?"
As soon as Su Ningxin said these words, everyone present was stunned. Only Yaoyi and a few people showed expressions of not taking it too seriously. They knew that Liu Peier's plan was in vain. The person who took her body was actually not Chu Jihan, now there was something exciting to watch.
"Su Ningxin, you can't joke about this." The old princess said tremblingly.
"Grandma, if you don't believe me, ask Hong Ni."
When Hong Wei heard that she was mentioned, she said, "It is exactly as the Crown Princess said, the Crown Prince has always been talking to the Prince in the Princess's courtyard and has never gone out. Both the Prince and the Princess can testify."
At this time, Liu Pei'er, who was standing aside, noticed something was wrong, and immediately rushed towards Su Ningxin to hug her thigh, but Su Ningxin noticed that she took a step back in advance, causing her to miss.
Liu Pei'er fell to the ground and immediately burst into tears and said, "Prince Princess, please spare your life. I know you don't want the Crown Prince to take a concubine, but my daughter's family has lost its innocence. Do you want to force me to death?"
[Good guy, you are very good at criticizing me. First, you said that I don't want Chu Jihan to take a concubine and be jealous, and then you said that I will force you to death, and I can't afford to offend you.]
On the other hand, Su Ningxin immediately took out the Oscar statuette that she had used so often recently. She looked weak, aggrieved and timid and said, "Why did Miss Liu say this? Why would I want to force you to death?" What? These are the words of the father, the queen, mother and concubine. Do you suspect that their dignified Prince An and Princess An are working together to deceive you? "
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Pei'er said what she said in a panic. She had no intention of doing so." Liu Pei'er's grandmother couldn't sit still after hearing this and immediately stood up and said.
Su Ningxin sneered secretly, "Isn't it just a slap in the face? I never admit defeat in this regard."]
"Then..." Su Ningxin hesitated.
The old princess knew that Liu Pei'er's matter was probably a failure, and she didn't have a good look towards Su Ningxin at this time. Seeing Su Ningxin's hesitant expression, she said impatiently, "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly."
Su Ningxin said hesitantly, "If it's not your husband, then who is it that saw Miss Liu's body?"
As soon as Su Ningxin's words came out, the whole room fell silent. They almost forgot about it. There were only two male masters in Prince An's palace. Prince An was assassinated and was bedridden in the princess's yard, and Chu Jihan didn't even know how to do it. Since he has never come out, isn't the person who saw Liu Pei'er's body a servant of the mansion
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Liu Pei'er with expressions that were a little hard to describe, and they couldn't tell whether it was sympathy or gloating.
"Ah~" Liu Pei'er suddenly shouted regardless of image, then pointed at Su Ning and said to her heart, "They must have framed me. The person on the bank at that time was the prince of the county, and his bed attire was definitely not that of a servant. .”
Liu Pei'er only saw a side face at that time, and she couldn't be sure that it was Chu Jihan, but she noticed the other person's clothes at that time. How could the servant in the palace wear such good clothes
At that time, although Liu Pei'er was a little surprised that Chu Jihan changed his clothes, he didn't think much about it. Maybe he was stained by something, or maybe he just wanted to change his clothes. After all, it's not enough for a wealthy family to change several clothes a day. It's normal, let alone a relative of the royal family like the Duke's Mansion.
So Liu Pei'er didn't think much, fearing that the other girls behind her would take advantage of her, so she jumped directly into the lake.
