When the imperial concubine saw her smile, she thought she had forgiven him.

I sneered in my heart: You are nothing special.

But she said gently:

"Xingchen, have you forgiven her? That's good. I thought you really wanted to break up with Sheng'er."

Wen Xingchen withdrew his hand without leaving a trace and took a step back silently.

"Your Highness, Xingchen grew up with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin and mistook sibling love for a romantic one. I was reckless before, and I've been aggrieved by your Highness. If there's any apology, it should be Xingchen who apologizes to you."

"I also hope that the Imperial Concubine will not tie me to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin in the future. After all, a slave follows his master. Aunt Zhang has told me not to bother the Prince of Jin in the future, so I think others will think the same."

Who is the "other person" referring to? The Imperial Concubine is also His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.

"Xingchen will never bother His Royal Highness Prince Jin again in the future."

No entanglement?

The imperial concubine felt inexplicably panicked.

She wanted to pull her hand again, but Xingchen hid it in her sleeve. The imperial concubine's eyes flickered, and then she explained: "Xingchen, you misunderstood. This palace absolutely did not mean that."

The virtuous concubine said, "Oh, sister Noble Concubine, this is not a misunderstanding. I have heard people in your palace belittle the princess more than once, saying that the princess is vulgar and unworthy of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin."

Wen Xingchen lowered his head silently, which looked sad to outsiders.

Wen Xingchen used to be arrogant and domineering, and it is rare to see him so depressed.

She used to be such a flamboyant girl, but now she is so cautious. It makes people feel sad.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xian's voice became a little higher:

"The princess is the female general who protects the country and the only descendant of the Grand Princess. Everyone in the palace knows this. The emperor dotes on the princess and treats her even better than Furun. Someone in your palace is so blatantly bullying the princess. Isn't this a slap in the face of His Majesty?"

This one sentence escalated the issue of Aunt Zhang bullying the princess to a new level.

"The Emperor ordered you to punish the servant. This was to give you a chance, but you deliberately shielded me and told me to just go back and beat him to death. This shows your sincerity."

The Imperial Concubine looked towards Wen Xingchen, but her gaze was blocked by the Virtuous Concubine. She continued, "Sister, why are you looking at her? Whether you are sincere or not is not up to her, it's up to His Majesty."

When Zhang Yu heard that she was going to be beaten to death, she quickly begged for mercy: "Her Majesty, please spare my life, Her Majesty, please spare my life."

"What can I forgive you for? You offended the princess."

Zhang Yu quickly knelt down before the princess.

Wen Xingchen refused to accept this and asked the Concubine Xian, "Do I get to decide the life and death of the people in this palace?"

"No, servants who make mistakes will be dealt with by their respective palace masters."

"Then why did the Imperial Concubine kidnap this person and give him to me? Did she want me to take over your duties?"

The virtuous concubine said smoothly: "No, she probably wants you to bear the vicious charges."

"..."

The imperial concubine gritted her teeth and almost cursed.

Wen Xingchen admired the virtuous concubine's high fighting ability in his heart.

You don’t have to do anything yourself.

Wen Xingchen said to Consort Xian, "Xingchen knows that in this palace, besides my uncle, Consort Xian is the one who treats me the best. Next time I see my uncle, I will definitely praise Consort Xian."

When the virtuous concubine heard her say this, her eyebrows and eyes were about to smile.

"That's natural. It's because we stars are so lovable."

Wen Xingchen then said:

"Empress Xianfei, Xingchen is going home."

The virtuous concubine said, "Then let Fang'er take you there."

"No, I'm familiar with the roads in the palace."

Wen Xingchen wanted to leave, and the Imperial Concubine wanted to stop her, but was stopped by the Virtuous Concubine.

"Sister Noble Concubine, Xingchen is still a child. It's not good for you to plot against her like this, right? If it gets out, people will say that you are vicious."

"Song Weiwei, why are you everywhere?"

"Oh, sister, don't you see that Xingchen is sad? The person who tied the bell must untie it. Tell me, the person you love defends an outsider instead of yourself. If it were you, sister, you would go crazy."

The virtuous concubine lowered her eyebrows and glanced at the kneeling Zhang Yu, her meaning was obvious.

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your servants."

“…”

These words made Zhang Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, tremble uncontrollably.

What does "Xian Fei Niang Niang" mean?

Are you going to kill yourself?

Not

The imperial concubine was indeed ruthless. She ordered her men to fight Zhang Yu twenty times.

After returning to Yukun Palace, the imperial concubine was so angry that she ordered someone to call Xiao Sheng over.

When Xiao Sheng heard that the imperial concubine had beaten Aunt Zhang, he found it unbelievable.

"Mother, why did you punish Aunt Zhang with a stick? What did she do wrong?"

"What mistake did you make? Sheng'er, this is all your own fault."

Xiao Sheng was puzzled.

"It's clear that Wen Xingchen is making a big deal out of nothing. I've never seen her be so inconsiderate before."

"Making a mountain out of a molehill? My son, how many times have I told you that your father doesn't want you to marry Princess Huayang? All you have to do is keep her hanging and make her insist on marrying you. Then this won't be our problem anymore. Do you understand?"

"I understand. That's why when she fell into the water, I didn't save her, but saved someone else instead. Isn't that what Mother taught me? To make her feel a sense of crisis."

The imperial concubine frowned.

"That should have been the case, but unexpectedly, a Chen Silang suddenly appeared."

"Mother, what should we do now?"

"You go and comfort her."

"How can I coax him? He doesn't even pay attention to me now."

"How do you coax her? How did she coax you before? Give her gifts, invite her out to play. Do you know what she likes?"

"..."

Ningyuan Houfu

Wen Xingchen returned from the palace with a lot of things and ordered people to move them to his yard.

Then Wen Xingchen ordered Yingying, Jiejie, Yuanyuan and Benben to come over.

"This county lord will sew the purse himself, so hurry up and prepare something for me."

"My Lady, it takes a lot of effort to sew it yourself. Why don't I sew it for you, just like the one you gave to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin last time? No one will notice it."

"This time is different from last time." She murmured softly.

“It’s the ones that are sewn by yourself that are most thoughtful.”

He looked at Sister Yingying carefully, and only after seeing her nod did he go to prepare.

Yingying has been with the princess for the longest time. The princess used to like His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, but her true love was trampled upon by the Prince of Jin. Now that he has finally changed his feelings, she is happy for her master.

Although Chen Jingting's reputation is not very good.

But he protected the princess, and for this reason, he was better than Prince Jin.

Wen Xingchen has been staying at home these days, learning embroidery day and night. Several maids taught her step by step, but in the end, the princess's fingers were still pricked like hedgehogs.

Yingying looked at the princess's hands and felt so distressed. She wanted to help the princess several times, but the princess refused every time.

Finally, the princess embroidered one by herself, but Wen Xingchen was very discouraged when she saw the terrible embroidery.

"What is this embroidery?"
