On the way into the palace, Jian Yu was in a good mood while sitting in the sedan chair.
When leaving the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Mrs. Zhang held her hand and said that she had raised many flowers with similar characteristics to Deng Qiyu, and Princess Jing was welcome to come and see them at any time. Jian Yu naturally agreed.
Judging from Mrs. Zhang's attitude, Jian Yu's depression at being called away early has dissipated. It seems that she doesn't have to worry about communicating with her anymore. Mrs. Zhang really likes her!
The other party also said that he would go to the palace together to help her speak!
"Master, the father-in-law who came here to convey the order is very kind. The emperor should not be angry."
Hongmei walked beside the sedan, carefully recalling the expression of the eunuch who delivered the order, and said words of comfort.
"It's okay, don't worry."
Jian Yu smiled at Hongmei. She was just thinking about things and was not afraid.
After entering the royal study, Hongmei, as a maid, cannot enter. She has to wait outside. Only Jian Yu can go in, so Hongmei is worried that her young lady will be bullied. In Hongmei's heart, the young lady is as weak and pitiable as a little white rabbit. .
Little did she know that Jian Yu didn't take this seriously at all. She had a rough understanding of Duke Ning's mansion.
Ning Guogong did not have any real power. He had an editor's position in the Hanlin Academy. He seldom had any bad relations with others in the court. He had the image of a good old man. Because at the Gu family level, others would give Ning Guogong a bad thumb.
On the other hand, Mrs. Gu was very arrogant. She believed that Ning Guogong Palace was Empress Gu's natal family. In addition, she had saved the emperor's heir and had a reputation with the emperor. On weekdays, she always sat in the guest hall when attending banquets, and the lucky woman was there. They all respected her and made Mrs. Gu more and more arrogant.
Being so arrogant, she had the courage to discipline Princess Jing at the banquet today. Who knew that Jian Yu was not used to her?
For the first time in these years, Mrs. Gu kicked the iron plate, and this incident may have serious consequences!
After leaving the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Mrs. Gu first went back to the mansion to talk to Duke Ning Guo about the matter. After hearing this, Gong Ning scolded Mrs. Gu for being confused, and then the two of them hurried into the palace to pay homage to the emperor.
On the way here, the couple had already thought of an excuse, so after meeting the emperor, Mrs. Gu cried and apologized, saying that she had made Princess Jing unhappy, but she didn't mean that.
Although Mrs. Gu said it was all her fault, it sounded more like Princess Jing being young and energetic, being unreasonable and unforgiving...
When entering the palace this time, Mrs. Gu not only wanted to clear her name, but also framed Princess Jing to make the emperor unhappy with Princess Jing.
Mrs. Gu thought viciously in her heart, if you are rejected by the emperor, let’s see what you, Princess Jing, have to rely on!
After finishing all the explanations and eye drops she had planned before, Mrs. Gu found that the emperor had no reaction, so she secretly raised her head and braved a quick glance.
There was no hint of happiness or anger in the emperor's expression, which made Mrs. Gu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Madam, you don't have to blame yourself. I, Princess Xuanjing, came to ask."
Later, the emperor asked the chief eunuch to go to Princess Xuanjing to enter the palace.
Because what Mrs. Gu said was that Princess Jing had misunderstood me, I didn't mean that. I really shouldn't have upset Princess Jing, so the emperor simply asked Princess Jing to come over and they talked face to face.
How could the emperor not see Mrs. Gu's little thoughts? She said it was her fault, but she was actually avoiding responsibility.
This matter cannot be taken for granted.
While going to summon Princess Jing, the emperor did not stay in the imperial study all the time. He returned to the Yangxin Hall, where Ning Guogong and Mrs. Gu were sitting in the imperial study and waiting.
Thinking of Princess Jing's behavior at the banquet, Mrs. Gu secretly thought that when Princess Jing came over and she said a few irritating words, if Princess Jing behaved more domineeringly and confirmed what she said, the emperor would definitely favor her!
Mrs. Gu was thinking about how to say something that could anger Princess Jing while making her look innocent...
Ning Guogong did not have such a good attitude as Mrs. Gu. He always had a bad feeling and was worried about his future.
He wanted to talk to his wife, but when he saw the two palace ladies guarding the door, Ning Guogong shut his mouth again. It was not convenient to talk here.
At this time, the chief eunuch who went to deliver the message also came back.
The delivery of oral instructions was only one of his tasks. The most important thing was to find out the causes and consequences of what happened at the Zhenguo General's Mansion.
As the most popular person in front of the emperor, the chief eunuch naturally had to make sure that the emperor knew what he meant as soon as he raised his eyes. Therefore, when the emperor asked him to deliver oral instructions instead of instructing the eunuchs to deliver the decree, Eunuch Lin understood what the emperor meant. .
"Your Majesty, this servant comes to see that this matter is really not the fault of Princess Jing!"
Eunuch Lin has been with the emperor since he was young. Similarly, he has also watched Prince Jing grow up, so his heart is naturally biased. Like the emperor, Eunuch Lin also has a very good impression of Princess Jing.
Then Eunuch Lin vividly told the emperor what happened in Zhenguo's mansion.
"Did Princess Jing really say that?"
The emperor's expression moved slightly and he couldn't help but repeat it.
"Yes, all the female relatives present were swayed by Princess Jing. Her words of defense for Prince Jing and the Gu family were eloquent. Although Princess Jing is weak in body, her heart is very strong..."
Not to mention the emperor, even Eunuch Lin was moved. Especially when Princess Jing later said that she would be Prince Jing’s eyes in the world, it was so touching!
"I saw the right person."
The emperor said with emotion, Princess Jing has a true and deep love for Jin Yanguo!
…
In the Yangxin Hall, the master and the servant were talking about the affairs of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and their attitudes became more and more in favor of Jian Yu.
At the beginning, after listening to Mrs. Gu's words, he understood that the other party intended to shirk responsibility. At the same time, the emperor also had doubts in his heart. As Mrs. Gu said, Princess Jing was young and it was possible that she would let her emotions vent and act improperly.
Compared with Ning Guogong, the so-called Gu family member, the emperor must be closer to Princess Jing, his brother-in-law, and he has his own bias in his heart. Now that he hears this again, there is no need for Jian Yu to come over to defend himself. The emperor already believes it. She did.
The emperor felt very sad when he heard that there was no one in Prince Jing's palace. Yes, if my brother was still here, how dare Mrs. Ning Guogong speak like this? !
Therefore, the emperor not only did not have a bad impression of Jian Yu, but also blamed Mrs. Gu.
Thinking of what his younger brother had said to him before going to Bianbei - Ning Guogong is not a family man! The attitude was exactly the same as Jian Yu's, except that Princess Jing was more direct. She said that the settlement was a bit heavy-handed, but she was not wrong.
If the Duke Ning's family had not come to Shengjing, they would not be able to afford food in their ancestral home.
What's wrong with Princess Jing? The fault is that this child is too kind-hearted and speaks too straightforwardly.
At this moment, Mrs. Gu and Duke Ning, who were sitting in the royal study, sneezed at the same time. The couple looked at each other and were about to say something when they heard a report from the eunuch outside.
"——Princess Jing has arrived!"
