Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 444 Articulate

Chu Qian did not hold back his strength, so Eunuch Xia's face swelled up like a red bean paste bun in the blink of an eye.

Just as he was about to cry out, an expressionless face enlarged again in his pupils, accompanied by a cold voice:

"The abbot of Zhaoqing County was granted a gold medal by the emperor and is stationed in Daming Palace. He is following the imperial decree and must execute the order first and report later."

Seeing the sandbag-sized fist raised again and about to hit his eyes, Xia Shouzhong and his group of rabble fled in panic.

The curtains were still drawn. Daiyu looked at the figure in the dust and sneered, "The fox is relying on the tiger's might, and the dog is relying on the power of the man!"

Prince Zhongshun, who had been eager to step forward to rescue her since the beginning of the fight, was stunned!

Is this still the orphan girl that the Crown Princess described, who only uses her pretentiousness and pampering to bully her elders and siblings?

Well, it seems similar.

With his sharp tongue and well-founded arguments, he actually got the golden medal bestowed by the emperor, and then he bullied, well, he was openly arguing, which was not right, he just dared to punish the wicked slaves around the queen...

Prince Zhongshun scratched his head.

I felt a little confused.

Regarding this princess, the king's father and the crown prince's consort have similar opinions. She is an ambitious, restless person who pretends to be weak to deceive people... a vixen.

Prince Zhongshun subconsciously glanced at the shaking curtain of the carriage.

Just looking at that lazy voice just now, and the arrogance of being slapped in the face without saying a single word, is quite like that of a vixen.

But...

It was not appropriate for the Queen Mother to let this "Princess" whose status was unclear live in Kunning Palace.

That eunuch Xia also had a very bad attitude.

The reasons Tao Han gave are the rules and etiquette.

It was not unfair for Eunuch Xia to be beaten.

Think about the method of judging right and wrong that General Feng taught me these two days: put yourself in their shoes.

Hmm, if Princess Zhaoqing was my biological sister...

Although there were no daughters in Prince Zhongshun's mansion, Prince Zhongshun had two cousins. Because they were ten years apart in age, they were raised by him since childhood and were very spoiled.

Seeing this "change of situation", Prince Zhongshun couldn't help but frowned and his fists became a little stiff.

If anyone dares to bully my sister like this!

Blow his head off with two punches!

His face changed constantly beside the carriage, and Daiyu saw the whole process from inside the carriage.

Since you are so emotional, it will be easier to deal with.

Daiyu coughed lightly.

There was silence nearby.

Qingwen came over: "Princess, do you have any instructions?"

"That's not the case." Daiyu smiled and asked knowingly, "Is the young general leading the team outside the eldest son of the Zhongshun Wang family?"

Qingwen understood and raised her voice slightly: "It is Prince Zhongshun!"

Outside, Prince Zhongshun was busy on his horse, crossing his arms and bowing, approaching the carriage: "Situ Ang greets Princess Zhaoqing."

Daiyu returned the greeting dignifiedly in the carriage: "In terms of rank, the prince and I are the same; in terms of kinship, you are a member of the royal family, and I have only received extra grace from the Supreme Being because of my ancestors' influence.

"I really don't deserve this gift from the Crown Prince."

The balance in Situ Ang's heart tilted a little towards Daiyu: Princess Zhaoqing is sober and polite.

“I asked about the prince because yesterday many houses that violated laws and regulations were searched outside the palace, and my maid also went out of the palace.

"After returning last night, he told me that your father behaved carelessly yesterday and was reprimanded by His Majesty and confined to the mansion..." Daiyu told the story in a gentle and polite voice.

But these contents were like a bolt from the blue to Situ Ang!

Grounded?!

"My father is under house arrest?!" Situ Ang's tone suddenly changed. He was so panicked that he pulled the reins hard and accidentally kicked the horse's belly, almost scaring the horse!

The Feng family servant, who had been on guard for a long time, was quick to grab his reins, shouted at him to stop, and finally calmed the horse.

Daiyu seemed to feel very sorry, and hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage window, smiling and saying, "It seems that the prince really didn't know about this matter. It was my fault for being so rude!"

Situ Ang hurriedly rolled off his horse, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply: "Thank you, my lord! If you know the details, I hope you will enlighten me!"

Daiyu smiled and said: "In fact, it is not a big deal, just an accident, a joke.

"Prince Zhongshun was ordered to invite Prince Yu to the Dali Temple to clarify one matter with Zen Master Zhitong.

"However, Prince Zhongshun was such a naughty old man that he did not directly announce the decree, but tricked Prince Yu into leaving the palace.

"The two princes were arguing with each other on the street. The guards were angry and in the chaos, they broke one of Prince Yu's arms..."

Situ Ang opened his mouth in shock, and his two clasped hands began to tremble!

Although his father was impatient, he had never been so cruel!

"Although we all know this must be an accident, the Imperial College outside doesn't know. If they knew, they would definitely make a fuss."

Daiyu smiled, hiding her sarcasm and pretending to be friendly, "So your majesty took the initiative to reprimand the prince, ordered him to stay at home, and even surrounded the prince's mansion, making a gesture of imminent punishment.

"In this way, outsiders can't say anything, right?

"I heard that the prince was very clear about it in his mind. On his way back home, he personally went to a street snack shop and bought a bag of orchid beans, eating them as he went back!

"You really don't have to worry, my lord."

Luckily fortunately!

It was an accident indeed!

Situ Ang's shoulders relaxed, he let out a long breath, and bowed to the ground again, full of gratitude: "Thank you, Princess, for clearing up my doubts."

At this point, he moved his feet in his heart and stood completely on Daiyu's side: Princess Zhaoqing is gentle and considerate, how could she be a vixen? She is clearly a beautiful, kind and dignified lady!

"That's nothing." Daiyu nodded with a smile, "Don't be polite, my lord. I would like to thank you for escorting me back to the palace."

The atmosphere between the two sides was harmonious. They bowed and nodded again, the curtain was lowered, and the matter was over.

The Feng family general beside him lowered his head and secretly gave a thumbs up: We have to say that Princess Zhaoqing has good words. I dare not say that she is confusing right and wrong, but at least she can confuse right and wrong!

It means that the people in Prince Zhongshun's mansion are really simple-minded, and this prince is innocent, kind-hearted, and easily fooled!

If it were someone else, such as the loyal and diligent county lord of Prince Kejin's family, he would probably have ridden back to the mansion to see what was going on!

Shoukang Palace is bright and clean. It was originally built so that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager could stay here temporarily if they wanted to stay in Daming Palace one day.

So from regulations to utensils and tools, everything is complete.

Daiyu ordered Tao Han to stay behind to check and place all the palace servants, while she asked her clothes to be changed and asked someone to tell Kou Zhaorong that if she had time, she would bring her nephews and nieces to pay a visit.

A message came from the other side: "Wait for me."

Daiyu ordered everyone to prepare to set out.

Yuanyang took Jia Lan and Qiaojie and got on the carriage first. Xueyan was about to follow them, but after thinking for a while, she ran to Daiyu's carriage.

Seeing that only Daiyu was sitting there and Qingwen hadn't come up yet, she hurriedly climbed up and quietly asked Daiyu, "Miss, are we going to stay in the palace from now on?"

Daiyu was stunned: "Why are you asking this?"

“If you have decided to stay in the palace, we servants will pay close attention to your mistakes when we go there this time.

“If we are going to return to our hometown in the future, then I must be careful and never make any mistakes.

"This is different." Xueyan looked into Daiyu's eyes seriously, "So, young lady, what should I do?"
