Jiang Shiying is only three years older than Princess Yongning, but she is taller than ordinary women. So when Princess Yongning put on her clothes, both her skirt and sleeves grew longer.

The clothes looked beautiful and fragrant on Jiang Shiying, but a bit ridiculous on Yongning.

And her face no longer had the reluctant expression before.

Thinking about it again, she was so much slower than Jiang Shiying when she was changing clothes and fixing her hair. I'm afraid Zi Ding had given her some serious advice inside.

When Princess Yongning drank ginger soup, she didn't feel like she was on the execution ground like Jiang Shiying did just now. Lu Zhaolin looked at this scene and winked at her teasingly.

Jiang Shiying looked left and right as if she was embarrassed.

In fact, she was thinking in her heart that Princess Yongning seemed to be following Ziding's advice. And Ziding is not completely brainless like Princess Yongning. It seems that she cannot be left with Princess Yongning.

After a while, Su Changyi was brought over.

When he was brought here, Su Gengyi didn't know what happened. She was not well-informed, and the little eunuch in front of the emperor was very strict with her words. They all knew that she would not get a good result if she went there, so they didn't say anything to her.

When they arrived at Muxianzhai, they saw Lu Zhaolin and Jiang Shiying sitting at the top, and Princess Yongning sitting next to them. Su Gengyi broke out in a cold sweat.

Thinking about what he had done in the past two days, Su Gengyi felt that something might be wrong.

"The concubine pays her respects to Your Majesty, the concubine Chungui, and the princess Yongning."

Lu Zhaolin didn't scream, but asked directly: "Are you whispering in Yongning's ears that the queen was grounded because of her pure noble concubine?"

Su Gengyi immediately denied it: "No concubine."

Hearing what she said, Princess Yongning immediately became anxious: "Father, she lied."

Su Gengyi was convinced that it was Princess Yongning who sold him.

Princess Yongning stood up, pointed at Su Gengyi and said: "Father, she was the one who told me that the pure noble concubine had offended the mother, and the queen wanted to punish her, but the father stopped her. The father also grounded the queen for this. .”

Su Gengyi said: "When I entered the palace, the Queen was already recovering from her illness. How could I know what the princess said? How could I tell the princess?"

When she was talking to Princess Yongning, there was no one around. Therefore, as long as she bites the bullet and refuses to admit it, it is expected that Princess Yongning will not be able to produce evidence.

Jiang Shiying looked at her, smiled slightly, and said: "As you said, you entered the palace after the Queen Queen recovered from her illness. You have no intersection with the Queen Mother, and you have no old grudges with Princess Yongning. In that case, what about Princess Yongning? Why should I accuse you unjustly?"

Su Gengyi was speechless.

At this time, Hongying, who was standing in the room, said: "Your Majesty, I saw Su Gengyi talking to the princess two days ago."

Su Gengyi retorted without thinking: "You're talking nonsense. When I was talking to the princess, there was no one around except the princess's maid."

As soon as he said this, he was self-inflicted.

Su Gengyi realized what he had said and thought to himself that it was not good.

Then she immediately knelt down and argued: "Your Majesty, I did meet the princess two days ago and had a few chats, but I didn't gossip in the princess's ear."

Lu Zhaolin leaned back slightly, leaned on the back of the chair, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Oh? What did you chat with the princess?"

Su Gengyi said calmly: "We didn't talk about anything special. I just praised the princess a few times when she saw her outstanding appearance."

Princess Yongning said angrily: "You are talking nonsense. You clearly said more than that."

Lu Zhaolin tapped his fingers on the table: "Su Gengyi, what did you say to the princess that day? If you are not willing to explain it here, then you can only go to the Shenxing Department to explain it."

Seeing that she was still hesitating there, Lu Zhaolin directly ordered: "Yao Xingde——"

After the words fell, Su Gengyi said hurriedly: "I am willing to explain."

Perhaps because he was really afraid of being imprisoned and tortured in the Criminal Punishment Department, Su Gengyi poured beans out of a bamboo tube and described the scene of that day in detail.

···

Two days ago, Su Gengyi met Princess Yongning while taking a walk at the pavilion in the middle of the palace's Jinghu Lake.

Su Gengyi bowed first: "I have met Princess Yongning."

Princess Yongning frowned: "Who are you?"

"Concubine Su changes her clothes."

Hearing this, Princess Yongning was quite disdainful: "So it's you."

As if he couldn't understand Princess Yongning's attitude, Su Gengyi said flatteringly: "The princess is truly outstanding in appearance. She deserves to be your majesty's legitimate princess."

After hearing this, Princess Yongning's expression softened obviously.

Then, Su Gengyi continued: "It can be seen that the Queen must be even more extraordinary. It's a pity that since I entered the palace, I haven't had the opportunity to meet the Queen."

Princess Yongning was more pleased with her now and said, "You know the rules very well, which is different from the rumors. When my mother recovers from her illness, I will naturally see you when you pay her respects."

As he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of something wrong with Su Gengyi's expression.

Seeing this, Princess Yongning asked: "What does your expression mean?"

Su Gengyi hesitated: "I heard some rumors and I don't know whether I should tell the princess."

"What rumors?"

Su Gengyi first looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then said: "I heard that the Queen is not sick, but has been grounded by His Majesty."

Princess Yongning frowned: "You are talking nonsense, my father will not ground my mother!"

Su Gengyi said: "I heard that it's because of the pure noble concubine."

A trace of doubt flashed in Princess Yongning's eyes: "Pure noble concubine?"

She knew that this pure noble concubine was very favored recently, but she didn't take her to heart, she was just a concubine.

Su Gengyi continued: "I heard that the pure noble concubine relied on His Majesty's favor and was not very respectful to the Queen. The Queen wanted to punish the pure noble concubine, but His Majesty stopped her and was grounded by His Majesty."

When Princess Yongning heard this, she immediately denied it: "Impossible! I'm going to ask my father!"

With that said, she was going to the direction of Danxi Palace.

Su Gengyi and Zi Ding quickly stopped her.

Of course Su Gengyi didn't dare to let her run to Danxi Palace, otherwise if His Majesty knew what she said to the princess, she would definitely be in trouble.

So, she hurriedly said: "Did the princess go to Danxi Palace in such an angry manner to question His Majesty? Doing so may only make Your Majesty more dissatisfied with the Empress.

The concubine heard that your majesty always loved the princess, and the princess often mentioned to his majesty that she missed her mother. I think for the princess's sake, your majesty would soon release her. "

On the other side, Ziding was already suspicious of Su Gengyi, feeling that she was deliberately provoking her with impure intentions. But the top priority is to stop the princess first, so he said: "Your Highness, we have to take a long-term approach."

···

After the matter was finished, Su Gengyi knelt on the ground and defended himself: "I really didn't gossip in the princess's ears on purpose. It's just that the princess asked, and it's not easy for me to hide it."

Jiang Shiying nodded, and everyone could hear the sarcasm in her tone: "Huxin Pavilion is near the princess's residence, but it is half an hour away from Shuxing Pavilion.

You just happened to be nearby, happened to meet the princess, happened to mention the Queen, happened to have a wrong expression and the princess saw it, and then happened to have trouble hiding it and said bad things about me. "

Su Gengyi originally wanted to blame this matter on "coincidence", but after Jiang Shiying said this series of coincidences, she felt uncomfortable saying so.

So, she explained to Jiang Shiying: "I really didn't mean to speak ill of the empress, nor did I want to sow discord between you and the princess. I just wanted to persuade the princess to mention the empress more in front of your majesty, and I didn’t want the princess to target you.”

This is what she means.

Concubine Wan Gui said so much to her that day, saying that she couldn't get ahead without getting rid of Concubine Chun Gui, but she didn't even listen.

The only thing she listened to was that for the sake of the princess, sooner or later the queen would regain her phoenix seal.

Then, Jiang Shiying nodded again and said, "Well, you didn't mean to let the princess target me, but the princess pushed me into the water because of your words."

"what?"

Su Gengyi couldn't believe what he heard.

No wonder when she first came in, she found that the hair of Princess Chungui and Princess Yongning were half wet and half dry, and there was no makeup on their faces.

She said hurriedly: "I did not let Princess Yongning push the empress into the water."
