Chapter 169 Long Lessons

Chu Ling'an smiled shallowly, "Daddy, I understand the truth. My daughter is still very good when she is not messed up. Don't worry." She got down from her father's arms and squeezed her father's arm playfully. , "Dad, go around and take a rest. You have been tossing around so late today, and you have to go to bed early tomorrow. Daddy has worked hard, so go to bed early."

It's just that, because Chu Xihe's affairs have been tossing all night, Chu Ling'an led Qing Ning to the direction of Jiaofang Hall. During this time, if the queen mother was worried about Xuxu, she would definitely be waiting for the news and would not rest. It's not convenient for daddy to come forward, it's the most appropriate time for her to go there at this time, and it will also make the father, queen and queen feel that she is a sensible child.

The Jiaofang Palace usually closes very early, but today the palace gate is wide open, and there is the sound of babies crying inside.

"Hey, why is the eldest princess here? The empress is not asleep yet, the little prince is making a lot of noise, and the empress has been coaxing him for a long time and she still can't coax him well."

Chu Ling'an followed the aunt who led the way into the Queen's bedroom. Jiang Rushuang looked up, with disappointment in her eyes, and then some doubts, "It's late at night, why did Chuchu enter the palace, then your sister came back together?"

"When I brought Xuxu back, Commander Xue happened to be ordered to pick up Xuxu. It was better for Xuxu to come back and admit his mistakes to the emperor than to arrest him again. Queen Mother, don't worry, Qinzheng Hall It's probably stopped."

Chu Ling'an took a look at Chu Shaoyi who was being held in the empress's arms, and she reached out to take Shaoyi from the empress' mother's arms, and shook her arms, "My younger brother looks very much like my father. His father is as good as him."

Chu Shaoyi cried a lot, Jiang Rushuang coaxed him for a long time but there was no result, so he couldn't help crying with the child.

She didn't have time to listen to these pleasantries tonight, so she hurriedly said: "Today's matter is really serious, and your father is angry again, and I dare not intercede at all, so I can only ask Cuiping to take Xuxu to your place to hide, Do you know how your father punished Xuxu tonight?"

"The left is just a few hand strikes. The father knows what to do with the Xijin envoys. Don't worry too much about the mother. It's getting late, and the mother should have a rest. I'll just help coax the younger brother."

"Chuchu, this matter is too serious. If the queen mother begs for mercy, she will not understand the general situation. You help the queen mother to plead with your father. Your father usually loves you the most."

Chu Ling'an was dazed for a while, but at this time, she was not very good at opening her mouth. She just relied on her cleverness to save Xuxu from being beaten twice. If she really asked her father, her father would inevitably also I think she doesn't know the rules.

Chu Ling'an was a little embarrassed, but it was rare for the queen mother to beg her, Chu Ling'an said: "My queen, I will try my best to speak up, but you also know that it is difficult for a daughter to speak up when it involves important matters related to the relationship between the two countries. At this time, you shouldn't think about protecting Xuxu, the queen mother has to help father solve the problem, you should get up early tomorrow morning to visit the princess from Xijin."

Jiang Rushuang sighed deeply, "I don't like that princess myself, it's not fun to come all the way to find her, Xuxu is really bold, even if your father spares her this time, the queen mother will have to teach her again, what There are such ignorant children."

"My mother will rest first, and my father is also worried about my mother's health. I am afraid that Chu Chu will not be able to leave today. After visiting my mother, I will also go to the Anning Palace to rest."

Chu Ling'an hugged the child for a while, and said it was her first contact with Shaoyi, but the child stopped crying after letting her hold it for a while, and fell asleep while hanging in her arms, but the little hands were still holding him. her hair.

Chu Ling'an felt that the little person in his arms had fallen asleep, so she motioned for Cuiping to come over and take Shaoyi to rest.

"Chuchu, let's rest in the Jiaofang Palace today, wake up early tomorrow, and go to see the princess of Xijin with the mother." Jiang Rushuang said with a sigh. Many, once the children's affairs are involved with the government, it is really difficult to make a choice.

"Queen, I'll go to the Peace Palace to rest, and I'll come back early tomorrow." She really wasn't used to such an environment, she didn't feel safe, she might as well sleep in her own place to make people feel at ease.

"Forget it, then you can go back, come here early tomorrow, and thank you after this matter is over, mother."

Chu Lingan returned the gift and left with Qing Ning.

"The princess is also very good-natured. The empress wants to drag the princess along because she feels that the emperor is guilty of the princess and wants to use the princess to win the emperor's sympathy. The princess is allowed to be used by her. Why should she send someone to our princess today? Go to the mansion, the princess is already asleep, and she has to get up and walk this trip, the slaves really can't stand it, why the princess is so good-natured, just let them manipulate, the princess doesn't care, the slaves feel that My heart hurts." Qing Ning complained while holding Chu Ling'an's arm, it was just for this reason, the empress only knew to protect her own daughter, she didn't feel sorry for their princess at all.

"Qing Ning, it's good to understand some things in your heart. Think to yourself, why don't you add trouble to me when you say it? The emperor also understands. There is no need for us to say more. You have been in the palace for so many years. I think you are the one who has realized this. some."

"Princess, don't blame the servant girl. The servant girl really can't stand it anymore. It is obviously her second princess' fault. Why should the princess beg for mercy? This matter has nothing to do with the princess, but the princess was involved and was entrusted to tomorrow Let's go and apologize to that princess of Xijin together, why?"

"It's a matter of both glory and loss. Since I enjoy the treatment of a princess, what can I do if I apologize. Although the queen mother may not think so, they are all one family. I want to take care of my father's face. Don't be too depressed. , just look at it."

Qing Ning snorted, and kept silent, the princess's calm attitude made it seem that she was a bit impatient with the emperor and the eunuchs.

"Tomorrow I don't know if I can go back depending on the situation. After the Anning Palace, I sent someone back to the mansion to pass a message. Ming'er Jiahong will go to Luyuan Academy to study on the first day, and ask him not to go by himself. When I go back, I will send him back. If you can't go back tomorrow, then go the day after tomorrow, anyway, I'll go and say hello to the masters of the academy first."

"Yes, this servant has remembered." Qing Ning's tone seemed a little tempered.

Chu Ling'an squeezed her palm, "Grandma, I'm not my own daughter, and I have to bow my head under the eaves. Since I'm not my own daughter, why should they treat me so well? If I give you a Child, you are definitely not happy to let you be raised as your own daughter."

"The princess is too good-natured. The empress does not treat the princess as her own daughter, but the emperor really loves the princess. The princess just ignores the queen."

"Silly Qing Ning, my honest mother can't stand it anymore. If Xuxu and I were so mischievous, I'm afraid my mother would have already figured out a way to get me out of the palace. They gave me a home and thousands of dollars. What can I do if I bear the glory and wealth."

"The princess is right. Anyway, the servant will protect the princess well in the future, and never let the princess be wronged like that."

Chu Ling'an laughed and didn't reply.

The third watch sounded, and Chu Ling'an shook his head, "Go to the Anning Palace to pack up and rest, I'm almost sleepy, and I have to get up early tomorrow."

Usually she doesn't wake up until three poles into the sun, and she doesn't know when she should get up early tomorrow.

Chu Ling'an didn't complain, and lay down on the bed in Anning Palace and rested.

Qing Ning complained that the queen mother took advantage of her father's guilt towards her, so she wanted her father to spare Xuxu, but it was nothing. If her existence was useless, then the queen mother might not want to keep her even more.

I have enjoyed the company of my mother for many years, and it is nothing to pay a little bit.

After thinking about it, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Not long after she fell asleep, Qing Ning came over to wake her up. It was late in the winter, but it was already five o'clock.

Chu Ling'an was shaken up from the bed, with a drooping face. Although she didn't complain, she was obviously unhappy.

Seeing that there were still some leftover rouge and gouache in the Anning Palace, Chu Lingan grabbed Qing Ning and asked Qing Ning to help her change her makeup, "I always heard Xuxu mumbling that I look like that princess from Xijin, you Help me put on a different makeup than usual, I don't want to look like her and be gossiped about, she is the imperial concubine, so what's the matter with me looking like her."

"I have never seen that princess before, but I will help the princess put on a beautiful makeup, and she must be more beautiful than that princess."

Chu Ling'an closed her eyes and let Qing Ning take care of her. She had only slept for more than an hour, and now she really couldn't open her eyes. Dad just went to court now, and I don't know if the princess of Xijin has woken up.

At the Jiaofang Palace, Jiang Rushuang didn't sleep all night. In the morning, the aftermath of the miscarriage was severe. She had a severe stomachache. She was still in confinement, because the princess of Xijin, the mother of a country, was forced to go out Entertaining, the lower abdomen is terribly uncomfortable.

Cuiping felt that her condition was not right, so she hurried over to comfort her, "Mother, don't shed tears, these are the most taboo in the confinement period, the empress has to raise her body well, and then she will give birth to an heir for the emperor. It's the princess' fault, the empress will just teach her a lesson in the future."

"Because of my bad background, the old people around the Queen Mother never take me seriously, nor do they take Xuxu seriously. The more I think about it, the more wronged I am. I work hard every day for this palace. , I have to deal with these crap things in my confinement, won't I be tired!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't think like this. The Emperor misses His Majesty the most. Let's go and see how the princess in Xijin is doing. When I come back, My Majesty will rest. Isn't there still the Eldest Princess with me? At worst, let the Eldest Princess go to intercede with the Emperor." That's it, empress, don't feel wronged and shed tears, the problems left in this confinement will last a lifetime."

Cuiping comforted softly, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and behind the prosperity and wealth is not easy.

Here Jiang Rushuang was suffering, and the emperor's imperial decree came down.

The inner servant's sharp voice read out the imperial decree loudly, Jiang Rushuang could only kneel down to accept the decree no matter how uncomfortable he was.

"By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that the second princess was brought up at the queen's knees. She lost her morality at a young age and committed misdeeds. From now on, she will be sent to Penglai Pavilion for one month's confinement. I respect you."

Jiang Rushuang couldn't help kneeling and leaned on Cuiping's body, and Cuiping helped take over the imperial decree.

Nei Chang waiter said: "Your Majesty, get up quickly. The emperor sent the second princess to Penglai Pavilion just to keep people from talking about it. The emperor has ordered that the princess will not worry about food and clothing in Penglai Pavilion. Everything will continue as usual. Let your empress take good care of herself first." body."

"Penglai Pavilion is an isolated island in the palace, and the cold palace is not as good as..." Jiang Rushuang muttered to herself, but after she finished, she sighed, that's all for now, Xuxu should improve his memory, Otherwise, it's hard to tell whether the sky is high and the earth is thick, and this time the incident is so big, let's see if she dares to mess around again in the future.

Cuiping kept the imperial decree well, and personally sent the inner servant out of the Jiaofang Hall, "Eunuch, our mother is going to apologize to Princess Xijin soon, my father-in-law worked hard at the emperor's side, so keep the money Give the father-in-law some tea."

As she said that, Cuiping stuffed a purse of silver into the hands of the regular attendant.

The inner servant coughed twice, "Let the empress prepare to coax the emperor to beg for mercy. Although the emperor said to comfort the empress, he was actually angry. What does the emperor mean? Wait for the envoys from Xijin to leave. , I have to settle accounts with the princess again."

"Okay, the slave girl knows here, I have to thank the father-in-law, and the father-in-law will go slowly."

When Cuiping went back, Jiang Rushuang was already sitting on the ground and started to cry, "It's all my fault, I indulged her to mess around, and now I really got into trouble and I can't bear it, it's all because my mother didn't teach her well and hurt her."

Cuiping was taken aback, and quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Your Majesty, you can't cry at this time. Your Majesty has to take care of herself before she can give birth to children for the emperor. The matter of the second princess is not in a hurry. My Majesty is still waiting for you." I can teach her for several years, don't worry, sooner or later I can change her temper."

"When you ask Imperial Physician Zhang to come and say that Shaoyi is ill, I'll see if the emperor wants to be a wise king or a good father."

"Your Majesty, absolutely not. If you continue to create something out of nothing at this time, won't it cause the emperor to have a quarrel with you? If someone takes advantage of the loophole again, it will not be worth the loss. The empress is considerate and considerate of the emperor. Let's wait for the eldest princess to come over, servant girl Hurry up and change your clothes."

Perhaps it was because Jiang Rushuang had been the only one in the palace for so many years, so she was also extraordinarily arrogant, thinking that she could control Chu Yao, but in fact it was just that Chu Yao doted on her.

After Jiang Rushuang changed her clothes, Chu Ling'an came over. Chu Ling'an looked at her mother's plain clothes, she was very special.

"Today, Empress Dowager doesn't need hairpins. Although we are going for a formality, we have to show the proper attitude. The peonies with golden threads on Empress Mother's clothes are already elegant enough."

"If you don't have hairpin flowers, then let's go there now. Your father has sent Xuxu to Penglai Pavilion. The isolated island in the palace is inaccessible. Xuxu can always learn a lesson this time."
