The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

Jing Muyang took Chu Jian to Xiuyuan.

Xiuyuan is where Jing Muyang usually drinks tea, plays chess, writes and practices martial arts. When they first met, he always stayed in the pharmacy. Ever since she knew that Jing Muyang was a martial arts master, especially since the old man had not returned for a long time, she would come here often to watch him practice martial arts, listen to him play the piano, drink with him, and write and paint with him.

Jing Muyang pulled her to sit in front of the guqin.

"First meeting, since you have learned the basics, then can you tell me what are the fingerings of the guqin?"

"I know the most basic finger techniques: smearing, picking, hooking, and picking..."

Chu Jian said as he demonstrated.

"Very good, but you don't bite your fingers deep enough, your wrist is bent too much, and..."

Jing Muyang held her in his arms and taught her step by step.

Chu Jian studied very seriously, and Jing Muyang taught her very carefully. She learned very quickly and understood everything at once. She didn't need to be told a second time, and even had her own opinions. Jing Muyang seemed to understand Mr. Fang Lin's pride in having an apprentice.

"Princess, with your comprehension, you will be able to play the song in a few days."

"Really?" I was very happy to receive praise for the first time.

"Really." Jing Muyang also confirmed with a smile. His princess was so unique that she was more talented than others even in studying.

In the following days, Jing Muyang would guide her step by step, and she would practice diligently. When she was in a good mood, she could write the hundred Buddhist scriptures in countless different ways. After all, there were so many calligraphy masters, and she had copied and studied quite a few of them.

The shortest Buddhist scripture she chose at first sight had only about 200 words in total. With her happy mood and speed, she finished copying it and handed it to the imperial concubine in just a few days.

The imperial concubine did not look at how well the Buddhist scriptures were written, but she thought that the thick stack should be completed, so she had the scriptures placed in the Buddhist temple for worship.

There were many people in the palace who copied Buddhist scriptures. Some of them copied voluntarily or as punishment. Anyway, the copied scriptures would be placed in the Buddhist temple for temporary worship. At the end of the month, someone would send them to Xiangguo Temple, where the eminent monks would select those with neat handwriting and distribute them to pilgrims. Those with sloppy handwriting would be chanted and burned.

I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect that just a few days later, when Jing Muyang was sent to the capital camp to check military affairs, the palace came to summon Chu Jian to the palace immediately.

The person who came to summon me was an old lady whom I had never seen before. No matter how I asked her, she just had a serious face and basically ignored me.

She didn't dare to be presumptuous when they first met, and she didn't want to mention the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times.

After entering the palace, the old nanny did not take her to see the imperial concubine or the queen, but took her directly to the Buddhist temple in Baohua Hall. As soon as she entered the temple, the door was locked from the outside. She was stunned. What was going on?

"Hey, Mammy, Mammy, open the door, open the door! What's going on? Who sent you? Why did you lock me up here?" Chu Jian knocked on the door frantically.

"Princess Zhan, I was sent by the Emperor. You don't need to yell. It's useless. The Emperor asked me to tell you to reflect on yourself. You can come out only when you know you are wrong."

"What did I do wrong again?" Chu Jian's mind was spinning wildly, and he was questioning himself.

She didn't know what she had done wrong. Hadn't she been punished by Buddhist scriptures a hundred times for saying the wrong thing that day? Didn't the emperor also approve of this punishment?

After that, she just went to the palace to see the imperial concubine and handed in the penalty letter. She never even met the emperor, let alone met or had any conflicts with anyone else. It seemed that she had done nothing wrong from beginning to end. Why was she being targeted by the emperor again?

"Mammy, Mammy, can you give me some hints? I really don't know what I did wrong to offend my father. Mammy, please give me a chance to defend myself." Chu Jian was still speaking in a kind voice.

"Princess Zhan, think about it carefully. Also, the emperor said that you must recite the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times, not once less. You will have a chance to defend yourself only after you finish reciting them. There is paper and pen inside. I advise you to start now."

The old lady outside said this with a stern face and left, leaving Chu Jian shouting inside, with no one paying any attention to her.

As a slave in a royal palace, Jin Xiang had no right to enter the imperial palace's Buddhist temple. She waited outside the Baohua Palace for two hours but did not see her princess come out. She became extremely anxious and ran to find the imperial concubine.

"Your Highness, the princess was taken into Baohua Palace by the nanny. I don't know what happened. She hasn't come out for two hours. I'm afraid something has happened to the princess, so I beg Your Highness to go and take a look." Jin Xiang knelt on the ground.

"Are you making arrangements for me?" The imperial concubine held the teacup and drank slowly.

"I dare not, but the prince has instructed that if the princess enters the palace and encounters any problems, she must come to ask the imperial concubine for help."

Jin Xiang's back was straight. She knew that the imperial concubine always listened to the prince, so it was right to bring the prince out.

Concubine Yun saw through Jin Xiang's thoughts clearly.

"Chu Jian relied on Mu Yang's doting on her, so she acted lawless and this time she caused the emperor's wrath again. Although I don't like Chu Jian, she is Mu Yang's princess after all. I just said a word to help and was implicated and confined. Jin Xiang, I can't help you this time."

The imperial concubine picked up the cup of tea again and sipped it gently.

In fact, she was happy to see her achievements today and did not say anything. There was no such thing as house arrest. It was just used to scare the little maid.

The emperor flew into a rage after seeing Chu Jian's punishment this morning. He said that Chu Jian had many evil thoughts, bad conduct, and refused to repent, and was not worthy of the title of princess. The imperial concubine was very upset.

Ever since Chuxia married the prince, she has been eyeing many noble ladies, and Ruyi from the Taifu family is very much in her eyes. She told the emperor about this last night, and the emperor seemed to have the same idea because of the fact that Li Ruyi had deceived him when they first met. Perhaps she could take this opportunity to take Li Ruyi into Prince Zhan's mansion.

Let Chu Jian be locked up in the Buddhist hall of Baohua Palace, just to dampen her spirit. Anyway, it will take Mu Yang two days to return to Beijing.

If you lie to them before the wedding that you are not sickly, that is a crime of deceiving the king.

If her wet nurse's family had not died and the doctor who treated her had not disappeared, the others would have only heard about it and had not seen it with their own eyes, there would not be enough evidence to expose her. Also, considering that the couple had a good relationship, they did not want to bring shame to the royal family, so the matter would have been left unresolved.

Now that I think about it, this first meeting was just a bunch of lies that he told easily, and I don't know if Mu Yangqing knew what she looked like.

Concubine Yun sighed, "Jinxiang, your princess has brought this upon herself. If you can help her confess, perhaps the emperor will release her sooner."

Concubine Yun seduced Jin Xiang.

Jin Xiang naturally had no idea what Concubine Yun was thinking, and she still held out hope.

"My Lady, I wonder what you mean? There must be some misunderstanding. If Jin Xiang knows, she must answer truthfully."

"Then tell me, who did you ask Chu Jian to copy Buddhist scriptures for her?" Concubine Yun finally looked at Jin Xiang.

"Copying Buddhist scriptures? The princess copies them every day after practicing the piano. Every word is copied by the princess herself, and no one else does it for her." Jin Xiang was anxious to prove it for the first time.

"You little maid are also dishonest. Ha, do you know how many different handwritings there are in the one hundred copies of the Buddhist scriptures? And each one is comparable to the master's level. If you say that she wrote it herself, will anyone believe it? I have really opened my eyes today. You two, the master and servant, are really not ashamed of lying."

"Your Highness! That was really written by the princess herself. I didn't lie. If you don't believe me, you can just ask the princess to write it for you to see. It's so easy to expose this trick. The princess is not that stupid."

"Are you saying that this stupid emperor is stupid?" Concubine Yun slammed the teacup in her hand on the table, her majesty emanating from her.

"I dare not. That is not what I meant. But it was really written by the princess herself. No one else wrote it for her. And the prince also knows about it. The prince..."

"Shut up! Don't drag the King of Zhan into this. Mu Yang is obsessed and will protect him no matter what he says when they first meet. Mu Yang will be implicated." Concubine Yun stood up and walked to her side. "You two are really alike, you are really good at talking back. Did she teach you or did you teach her? Hmm?"

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the princess really didn't ask anyone to write for her, she really didn't!" Jin Xiang tried to defend herself but it was useless, because Royal Concubine Yun had already signaled for someone to take her away.

"My Lady Concubine! The prince trusts you so much. If the princess is wronged and wronged in the palace, and you watch her die without helping her and don't even give her the chance to defend herself, the prince will be heartbroken and extremely disappointed!" Jin Xiang was dragged out and made her last struggle.

"Give me twenty slaps in the face, drag him away and lock him up!"

Concubine Yun was extremely angry. A maid from the palace actually dared to threaten her. She wondered what kind of behavior Chu Jian usually had in the palace that allowed that little maid to speak so recklessly in front of her!

It seems that this first meeting cannot be kept, otherwise Mu Yang will really not even recognize her as his mother in the future!
