The fourth prince's concubine also looked embarrassed, but in the end she said softly: "Forget it, eldest princess, Miss Qian and the others were also shocked when they fell into the water. Since nothing happened, it's okay not to look."
"It's not a question of whether to watch or not."
The old Princess Lu next to her frowned. It didn’t matter that Song Tangning and the Qian family girls had rejected Princess Leyang in public before. Now the fourth prince’s concubine was so kind and embarrassed her. She said in a deep voice:
"They are officials and they should know the etiquette of a king and his ministers. As a prince and concubine, it is a blessing to let people around you take care of their health. It is really rude to push back and guard against them."
The fourth prince's concubine said quickly: "Auntie, don't say that. Maybe they have other concerns. I have met the head of Yiyang County before. She is a very humble and polite girl. Even the queen mother praised her very much and loved her very much... "
When the queen was mentioned, her expression darkened a bit.
"The queen mother was expecting the county lord to enter the palace, and asked the imperial kitchen to prepare her favorite snacks, but who would have thought that my father would suddenly get angry and reprimand him because of the rumors from the outside world. The queen mother also specifically told me to let me meet the lord of Yiyang County. Tell her not to enter the palace for the time being, so as not to be implicated by her and blamed by the father."
The wrinkles on Princess Lu's face deepened, while Madam Wenxinhou beside her suddenly felt bad.
She still remembered that on the day of the banquet held in Tang's Mansion, the Queen presented rewards and gifts in front of everyone. Rongyue had also promised to take Tang Ning into the palace to express gratitude to the Queen. Everyone could tell at that time that it was just a shirk. However, the fourth prince's concubine mentioned it so solemnly, which made Tang Ning and the others look cold and uncaring and disrespectful of the queen.
Mrs. Wen Xinhou said quickly: "The Queen is serious. Tangning and the others have been busy with Rongsheng Academy recently, and they encountered the Lu family's injury and the embarrassing incident of Shengjia. Tangning also planned to be more stable before entering the palace. , how can you be afraid of being implicated by the Queen..."
The fourth princess shook her head: "Mrs. Zhou doesn't need to explain, I can understand. The queen is now being punished and has lost her holy will. Your Highness has also been assassinated and ridiculed. It is normal for the county master to stay away from us."
Princess Leyang said from the side: "What is ordinary? Who doesn't know how much the Queen loves her?"
"When both of her parents died, many girls with outstanding family backgrounds in the capital wanted to marry into the Lu family, but the Queen chose her to marry her personally and pointed out the most outstanding legitimate son of the Lu family to her."
"Later, something happened to Lu Zhinian, and the Queen felt regretful about it. Not only did she take the initiative to help her break off the engagement with the Lu family, but even when she came to quarrel with the Lu family, the Queen did not hesitate to fall out with the Lu family and stand by her side. "
Princess Leyang actually didn't have a good relationship with Empress Lu, and she didn't want to speak for her. She just hated Song Tangning.
She had previously fallen in love with the girl and wanted her youngest son to marry her back to the house, but she was rejected after several attempts to show her kindness. The invitation after the banquet that day and all the things she sent were returned intact.
After being watched for so long, she finally got the news tonight. Knowing that Tang Ning would come to Yinghe Lake, she tried her best to pull off such a trick, thinking that if Tang Ning could fall into the water, she would be rescued by her son, in full view of everyone. Even if Tangning doesn't want to, she still has to marry her son.
But who would have thought that Song Tangning was so capable that he could escape even after falling into the lake. Those people who had been arranged before were all useless, and her son didn't know what was going on now.
After losing the opportunity, Princess Leyang originally wanted to use Tang Ning to fall into the water to show her closeness to her, but was slapped in the face again in public. How could she have a good tone towards Tang Ning now?
"The Empress treats her no worse than her own daughter. She is always thinking about her, but she is better. When she sees the Empress in trouble, she avoids her and is not afraid of people saying she is cold."
The wrinkles on Princess Lu's face were almost squeezed together. She had heard about Song Tangning before and knew about her affairs with the Song family. She had always felt that this woman was too cruel and heartless.
Now that she heard how ungrateful she was, she felt even more disgusted.
Zhou Yuchang had a soft temper, but she could tell that something was wrong with Princess Leyang's words. She opened her mouth to explain to Tang Ning, but the door over there was suddenly pushed open. Tang Ning and Qian Qiyue changed their clothes and walked towards this side. Come in.
Both of them noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere in the room.
The fourth princess stood up and walked to them with concern: "You are in good health, are you injured..."
She reached out to pull Tang Ning, but she subconsciously avoided her.
The fourth prince's concubine lost her hand and hung halfway in the road, suddenly looking embarrassed.
Princess Lu slapped the table with a "bang": "How presumptuous!"
"Uncle..."
The fourth princess turned her head and was about to speak when Old Princess Lu scolded her: "Don't talk."
Old Princess Lu looked at Song Tangning and Song Tangning with a serious look on her face: "Young lady, I don't know the superiority of the king and his ministers. If you don't kneel down when you see me, you are the first to offend me. The fourth princess saw you two falling into the water and showed pity and concern. You two are still There are so many pretentious excuses and defenses that I just don’t know what to say.”
Neither Tang Ning nor Qian Qiyue expected that Princess Lu would directly attack them as soon as they entered.
Seeing that Old Princess Lu was angry, Mrs. Wenxinhou quickly stood up and said: "Princess, please forgive me. The Lord of Yiyang County and Miss Qian did not mean any offense. They just fell into the water tonight. In their panic, I'm afraid they haven't been here yet." Come to your senses."
Zhou Yuchang also stood in front of the two of them: "What mother said is that Ah Yue and the others were scared just now." She turned around and said quickly to the two of them: "Tang Ning, Ah Yue, why don't you meet Princess Lu quickly?"
Tang Ning frowned and her face darkened, while Qian Qiyue also had a dark face.
Seeing that Zhou Yuchang and Mrs. Wenxinhou were both worried, Tang Ning suppressed her unhappiness and looked at Qian Qiyue who was extremely angry with her lips pursed.
The two of them knelt down and saluted together: "Tangning/Qiyue, I have met the princess."
However, Princess Lu made it clear that she was embarrassing them: "When did this girl in the capital know so little about the rules and pay perfunctory greetings, Nanny An!"
The old woman who was following Princess Lu quickly came out, walked to Tang Ning and the others and looked at Zhou Yuchang: "Mrs. Tuesday, please get out of the way."
Zhou Yuchang was stunned for a moment and was squeezed away.
When Nanny An arrived in front of Tang Ning and the others, she suddenly slapped Qian Qiyue in the face.
Qian Qiyue was stunned.
"There is a difference between the king and his ministers. When you see the princess, you must kneel down. I will teach you two girls."
Aunt An turned her head and wanted to slap Tang Ning in the face again. This time Qian Qiyue reacted very quickly. After she pulled Tang Ning away with anger, she kicked the old woman in the leg with a sullen face.
Grandma An lost her balance and fell behind her, knocking over the cups on the table.
Princess Lu slapped the table and said, "How dare you, someone is here..."
"Tsukimi!!"
As Princess Lu stood up, Tang Ning also called out. Yue Jian, who had been waiting in front of the door for a long time, ignored the people blocking the door and kicked open the door and walked in, following her. Cang Lang, who was nearby, protected Tang Ning and Qian Qiyue behind him.
When Princess Lu saw this scene, her face became even more ugly. She pointed at Tangning and said angrily: "Song Tangning, do you want to rebel?!"
Tang Ning didn't want to cause trouble, but she wasn't afraid of it. The man in front of her was clearly making things difficult for them.
She pulled Zhou Yuchang, who was almost knocked down just now, and her expression turned cold.
"Your Majesty is still alive today, and there are countless princes in the palace who can succeed you. When Old Princess Lu said this, does she regard your Prince Lu's Palace as the master of the Wei Dynasty, or does she covet your Majesty's throne?!"
