The Queen Mother took An Xiyue to Kangshou Palace and asked the palace maid to take moisturizer, which had the effect of reducing swelling and relieving pain.
An Xiyue was very quiet. She had to take care of the injury on her face before returning home, otherwise her grandmother would be worried about her when she saw her. An Xiyue was not restrained, but rather generous.
The empress dowager's move was regarded as a compliment to An Xiyue, but she did not show any grievance, nor did she take the opportunity to complain.
The Queen Mother saw that An Xiyue was very quiet, so she couldn't help but look at An Xiyue a few more times. She saw that her expression remained calm and most of the redness and swelling on her face had disappeared.
"You said your grandfather was Mei Zongzheng." The Queen Mother's eyes were fixed on An Xiyue's face. No wonder she was not disgusted with this little girl.
At this time, a palace maid came in and said respectfully: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince ask to see you."
When the Queen Mother heard that Nangong Yuanyi and Nangong Hao came to her Shoukang Palace at the same time, her face suddenly lit up and said, "Hurry and tell them to come in."
Nangong Yuanyi walked in a hurry. As soon as they came out of the Imperial Study Room, they heard the maid outside say that An Xiyue was taken to Shoukang Palace by the Queen Mother, and that Princess Mingjing was punished by the Queen Mother in the Imperial Garden and imprisoned in the ancestral temple. After knowing the reason, he realized that An Xiyue had been wronged when he entered the palace.
Nangong Yuanyi didn't have a good impression of Nangong Mingjing at first. He kept saying that she was ugly and had a very explosive temper. He used to speak unabashedly and said that she couldn't find her husband's family. At that time, Nangong Mingjing was so angry that she couldn't do anything about Nangong Yuanyi. However, Concubine Xian also asked Nangong Hao and Nangong Yuanyi to make more friends to enhance their relationship.
Nangong Hao also came. When he heard that An Xiyue was beaten, he felt an unknown anger in his heart. Ming Jing had been domineering since he was a child.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw An Xiyue sitting quietly at the bottom of the room. His face was slightly red, but it was not serious, and he felt relieved immediately.
"Greetings to the Imperial Grandmother." The two said in unison.
"Get up quickly." The Queen Mother said happily.
The Empress Dowager really liked this docile grandson, "It's hard for you to come and see me."
Nangong Yuanyi's whole mind was on An Xiyue, and the Queen Mother also saw it. Nangong Yuanyi rarely came to her palace, and she was not close to Nangong Yuanyi.
The empress dowager looked at Nangong Yuanyi's resolute and handsome face, which looked very much like the late emperor. She felt suspense in her heart, but she didn't have any doubts. After all, it was normal for grandchildren to look like their grandfather.
An Xiyue stood up and greeted Nangong Yuanyi and Nangong Hao. This was the most respectful moment An Xiyue showed to the fourth prince since his rebirth.
In front of the Queen Mother, she did not dare to be presumptuous. She had to have the proper etiquette in the palace, otherwise she would be criticized.
"I heard that Ming Jing was sent to the Master of Ceremonies Palace to learn the rules..." Nangong Hao interceded for Nangong Ming Jing. After all, their mothers and concubines were both virtuous concubines, and he was her biological brother. He would not say a word for his biological sister in front of the Queen Mother. Very unreasonable.
The Queen Mother sighed, with a trace of disgust in her eyes. The majestic royal princess had no princess etiquette at all.
"She is a little domineering. She should learn the rules." Seeing the bad mood in the Queen Mother's eyes, Nangong Hao immediately changed his words: "As long as she didn't make the Queen Mother unhappy." Nangong Hao said sweetly.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't get angry even if she wanted to. After all, it was a trivial matter, but in front of outsiders, Ming Jing had indeed lost her demeanor as a royal princess.
An Xiyue also understood in her heart that the Empress Dowager's punishment of Nangong Mingjing was not to support her, but that Nangong Mingjing used the Empress Dowager's name to punish the people below her, which made her very uncomfortable, as if the Empress Dowager was the arrogant and domineering person. When the late emperor was still alive, the empress dowager was honest and not domineering, and she was a peaceful person.
"Royal Grandma, it's getting late now. My grandson is sending Princess Pingle out of the palace on the Emperor's order, so I won't disturb the Royal Grandma's peace." Nangong Yuanyi knew that Nangong Haoai showed his filial piety to his grandson in front of the Empress Dowager. Looks like, too lazy to look at it.
Nangong Yuanyi has never been close to anyone in the palace, including the Queen Mother.
He holds the status of the heir apparent of Prince Yu's residence. Prince Yu has military power in his hands. In the future, these military powers will belong to Nangong Yuanyi, so there are many people who want to please him.
When Nangong Hao heard these words, he was stunned for a moment. He could also send An Xiyue out of the palace, but in front of the Queen Mother, he had to say a few more words to the Queen Mother in order to show his filial piety.
An Xiyue said goodbye to the Queen Mother respectfully, thanked the Queen Mother for the medicine, and then stood up to leave.
As soon as she walked out of the palace, Concubine Xian came with a lot of people. When she saw An Xiyue, she was immediately furious. She heard that the palace maid said that the trouble was caused by the emperor's newly appointed Lord of Pingle County. She didn't know that Pingle After some questioning, I found out who the county lord was was An Xiyue. She thought she was a little girl who could cure the third prince's illness. She was fifteen or sixteen years old. How could she possibly have medical skills? It was a joke.
But her daughter, her only daughter, was punished by the Empress Dowager because of her. The more Concubine Xian thought about it, the more angry she became, so she hurried to Kangshou Palace because the palace maid said that An Xiyue had been taken away by the Empress Dowager.
"Get her for me." Concubine Xian shouted angrily as soon as she saw An Xiyue.
Suddenly, a large number of palace maids and eunuchs came to arrest An Xiyue.
Nangong Yuanyi walked behind An Xiyue. An Xiyue didn't want to have too many negotiations with Nangong Yuanyi in the palace, so as not to cause any gossip, and she didn't want him to see the faint mark on her face, so she just Nangong Yuanyi stepped out quickly.
Unexpectedly, she met the Concubine Xian as soon as she came out. The Concubine Xian, who inexplicably disliked her no matter in her previous life or in this life, came just in time. Will her life be handed over to this ruthless palace today? An Xiyue thought so.
Suddenly, a gust of palm wind came from behind An Xiyue, knocking down the palace maid and eunuch who was trying to restrain her, and bright red blood flowed from the corners of her lips. The people brought by Concubine Xian did not touch An Xiyue at all.
Before An Xiyue came back to her senses, Nangong Yuanyi was already standing in front of An Xiyue, with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Does the Concubine Xian want to do something to the Lord of Pingle County? Take her back and break her bones or do you want to break her bones?" Ruin her appearance, or kill her."
Nangong Yuanyi was also not used to the cruel methods of torturing people behind the scenes in the palace. In his opinion, Concubine Xian came here in a menacing manner just to take An Xiyue back to torture her. How could he allow it?
Concubine Xian had never seen such an aura before. The dozen or so people she brought were lying on the ground, wailing all over the place, and uncertain about their life or death. Concubine Xian suddenly turned pale, and she had long forgotten that she often taught the fourth prince and Nangong Yuanyi to call each other After getting close to him, he gained the support of Prince Yu's palace and said angrily: "Nangong Yuanyi, are you rebelling?"
"The Concubine Xian had better go back and take good care of that girl Ming Jing, otherwise she may never get out of the ancestral temple." Since the Empress Dowager punished the girl, he didn't have anything to say. After all, he entered the ancestral temple and asked her to suffer more. Not difficult.
