Su Xiaoxiao suddenly looked at Wei Ting very seriously: Is there anything you are hiding from me?

Wei Ting looked puzzled: Of course not!

Su Xiaoxiao squinted suspiciously.

On the roof, the five tigers fluttered their little wings: A man's mouth! Deceitful ghost!

Wei Ting gritted his teeth: Little smelly parrot! come down for me!

On the carriage back to the palace, Princess Jingning thought carefully about several poems written by Shen Chuan.

After entering the Hanlin Academy, he seems to be sleek and sophisticated, hiding his edge, but in fact he has a deep heart and lofty aspirations, and he is a good seed for the cabinet.

Princess.

Tao Zhi said with a smile, This servant thinks Mr. Shen is really nice!

Um.

Princess Jingning did not deny it.

Huh? Taozhi was surprised, Princess, you don't praise people easily.

Princess Jingning said frankly: He does have great ambitions and real talents.

Taozhi asked curiously: How does the princess think he is compared to the number one scholar?

Princess Jingning said seriously: I have never compared poetry with Wei Ting.

In the past, my idiot sister was against Guo Lingxi everywhere, and even Wei Ting wanted to snatch it from Guo Lingxi.

She has always kept Wei Ting at a respectful distance.

Tao Zhi said again: There is also the Fourth Young Master Su, who was tied for first place with Shen Zhuangyuan in the examination, if he did not miss the palace examination due to illness, I wonder if there will be two champions!

Two champions are impossible.

She has read the articles of the two, and Shen Chuan is slightly better than Shen Chuan in terms of writing style and talent.

Su Xuansheng's analysis and insights on the court's long-standing abuses hit the nail on the head, not as sharp as a fledgling scholar.

Thinking of something, Tao Zhi asked in a low voice: Princess, do you think Mr. Shen is on the list to be selected by the son-in-law?

Princess Jingning asked: So what?

Tao Zhi said weakly: If you are here...

As Taozhi said, she glanced at the indifferent Princess Jingning, and swallowed the rest of her words.

The princess is obviously so good, but she just doesn't believe that there is a man in the world who really likes her.

In fact, she felt that Mr. Shen was different from those men.

the next day.

The queen had just finished her breakfast when she heard a piece of earth-shattering news from her confidant eunuch.

Is this true?

The confidant eunuch said: I don't know if it's true or not. I just heard what Xiao Dezi from the House of Internal Affairs said, and it has spread all over the capital. For the servant under the skirt...

The queen slammed her fist on the table: Presumptuous!

The confidant eunuch plopped down on his knees: Queen, calm down!

The rest of the palace people in the palace also knelt down in fear and lowered their heads, not daring to show their breath.

The queen said coldly: Go and call the princess to me!

The confidant eunuch went to invite Princess Jingning.

Princess Jingning is already fully dressed and is wearing the last hairpin.

Tao Zhi broke into a cold sweat for her princess: Princess...

Princess Jingning put on the hairpin calmly, and went to the queen's bedroom with a dignified manner.

The queen dismissed the palace people, leaving only her and Taozhi.

You left the palace last night?

The queen asked straight to the point.

Princess Jingning replied neither humble nor overbearing: Yes.

The queen looked at her critically: What did you do?

Princess Jingning: Relax.

Queen: How did I hear that you went to see Mr. Shen from the Imperial Academy?

Princess Jingning said lightly: Oh, there is such a thing, my minister has long admired Master Shen's talent, and it is rare to meet him, so he invited Master Shen and my minister to have a meal together.

The queen looked at her suspiciously: Only these?

Princess Jingning said without changing her face: Your minister and Mr. Shen hit it off right away. They also wrote poems and Fu with Mr. Shen, and played chess games. They had a very happy conversation.

The queen stood up and walked in front of her: It's like seeing each other like old friends, and the conversation is very happy. In order not to marry into the Su family, you even used the method of ruining your reputation. You are a princess of the royal family, even if you really raised several The minister under the skirt, who dares to gossip about you?!

Princess Jingning said: No one dares to gossip about me, but I'm afraid, Su Houye and Su Shangshu don't want to marry a notorious princess as grandson and daughter-in-law, especially... Shen Chuan and Su Xuan are close friends, No matter what, the Su family won't get their hands on the women Shen Chuan has touched.

The last sentence is simply the fatal blow.

The queen shook her hand.

She always knew that this daughter was smart, but she didn't expect to be so smart. She only talked about her plan to choose a son-in-law in the afternoon, and Jing Ning blocked the way out at night.

Are they all overnight?

The queen suppressed her anger: It's just reciting poems and playing chess, what can't be touched!

Princess Jingning said calmly: I was disturbed by someone last night, maybe next time, I will touch it.

The queen was furious!

The daughter who had been obedient for nineteen years suddenly rebelled, and the queen couldn't accept it for a while.

It's not like Hui'an playing naughty, getting angry with Concubine Xian every now and then, Concubine Xian is used to it.

The queen said coldly: You are growing up and your wings are stiff, so you don't listen to your mother's words, do you?

Jing Ning plucked up her courage, and confronted the queen's domineering aura: Mother, I have been following your arrangements for so many years. If you let me study, I will study obediently. You let me be a princess who behaves properly. Just like a princess who behaves well, if you let me shoulder a great week of luck, I will bear the body of luck and dare not make the slightest mistake. But the queen mother, I don't want to suffer for the rest of my life with a man I don't love... I don't want to be the next you.

The Queen's heart trembled.

After Jing Ning finished speaking, she regretted it. She looked at the empress's red eyes and said sadly: Mother, I'm sorry...

The queen turned around and said, Taozhi, help the princess back to the room.

Taozhi glanced at the queen's lonely back, lowered her head: Yes, queen.

After the two left.

The queen sat back on the chair in a daze, her eyes were empty, and she was stunned for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.

Until Nanny Yu came in with a bowl of ginseng soup.

Nanny Yu is the queen's nanny, and the relationship they have had for so many years has long been like a blood relative.

There are some words that others dare not say, only she dares.

She put the ginseng soup on the table and said with a long sigh: The princess said this because she loves the empress. She has seen all the hardships of the empress these years, the empress don't take it to heart.

In front of the nanny, the queen finally felt a little wronged: I don't want to do this either... But if I don't marry her into the Su family... I'm afraid I won't be able to keep her...

Nanny Yu said: Your Majesty, the Princess and Mrs. Wei have a very close friendship, maybe Mrs. Wei can keep her.

The queen choked bitterly and said: Ziweixing came to the Wei family, and the Wei family will inevitably produce an emperor. How could the new emperor easily let go of the former princess who shouldered the fate of the country? She must die, and the Xiao family's strength will be exhausted. Except for her to marry Su Family, I can't think of a better way to save her!
