The fourth prince's concubine was shocked, not because Tang Ning exposed her "double flattery", but because she didn't expect Xiao Yan to actually tell the girl in front of her.
As a close confidant of His Majesty, a powerful official in the court, and a eunuch, colluding with the prince to seize the throne would be a serious crime for Ling Chi.
Empress Lu only told her and the Fourth Prince, and if she hadn't been asked to fulfill the "marriage" between the Fourth Prince and Tang Ning, she probably wouldn't have revealed it.
But Xiao Yan actually told Song Tangning.
It turned out that what the Queen Mother said was true, and Song Tangning was so important to the eunuch!
The fourth prince's concubine felt more and more that she must drag Song Tangning to the fourth prince's residence, but her face showed shock: "How could the county master think so? I met the eldest princess and the others by chance on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day. Later, you had a conflict with them, and I took it out of it. I just want to make peace because I don’t want things to get too bad and damage the reputation of the county lord and Miss Qian.”
"The incident happened suddenly that night, and many people fell into the water. Men and women were mixed together. Although the county owner was innocent, he was feared."
"I did not stop them in the palace today. I admit that I have selfish motives, but that's just because the fourth prince's house is in an embarrassing situation. The queen was punished, the fourth prince was frustrated, the Lu family secretly acted, and the aristocratic family changed to support the second prince. Prince."
"Since the County Lord knows the relationship between Governor Xiao and us, he should understand that His Highness and I can no longer offend the powerful clan members. Whether we offend the Princess's Palace or Prince Ji's Palace, it will make His Highness's current situation even worse."
Tang Ning sneered: "Really? But the fourth prince is so cowardly and evasive that he can't even protect the relatives of those he cooperates with. What qualifications does he have to talk about other things?"
The fourth prince's face changed slightly.
"Someone, send the fourth princess out!"
"County Lord!"
The fourth prince's concubine hurriedly said: "Your Highness and I have absolutely no such intention..."
Tang Ning said angrily: "Then what do you mean? There has never been a time when the four princes and concubines dared to step on me and make fun of me. If it comes to pass in the future, I am afraid that the fourth prince will directly kill the donkey and cross the river to destroy the bridge!"
Seeing this, the fourth prince's concubine said anxiously: "Okay, let me be honest with the county master. I did have other thoughts on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, but that's because His Highness likes the county master!"
Tang Ning was stunned.
There was some mist in the eyes of the fourth princess, but she quickly suppressed it as if she was afraid of being seen: "His Highness likes the County Lord. Whenever he mentions the County Lord to me, he looks happy and full of longing. I have never seen Your Highness like this. He never cared about other women."
"I was just feeling a little uncomfortable, so I didn't stop the eldest princess and the others. I wanted Princess Lu to teach the county chief a lesson, but His Highness had no idea about this."
Tang Ning looked at the fourth prince with red eyes and frowned: "I don't like the fourth prince."
"I know, but I just can't help but feel jealous." The fourth princess wrung her handkerchief: "I know this is not good, and I don't want to harm you, and His Highness also said that he and you have been impossible for a long time. He It’s just that I have such admiration that I can’t restrain myself.”
"After he found out about this, he reprimanded me and said that he would never bother you again or let anyone know about his love. His Highness asked me to apologize to the county lord. I...I will never do such a thing again in the future. .”
Tang Ning looked at her tearful and embarrassed look, and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Are you serious that you won't hurt me again?"
The fourth princess raised her teary eyes: "Of course, you are Governor Xiao's adopted sister. What good will it do to me and His Highness if I harm you?"
Tang Ning seemed to be persuaded by her words, and her face softened a little.
The Fourth Princess choked with sobs: "Please forgive me, Lord, for once."
Tang Ning's eyes softened after listening to the fourth prince's words: "It's impossible for me and the fourth prince. I don't like him, and I can't marry him as a concubine. There's no need for the fourth prince to hate me because of this."
The fourth princess quickly said: "I know, I was wrong."
Hearing this, Tang Ning stood up and pulled the fourth princess to sit down: "You are also suffering from love, let's forget it this time."
Tang Ning's appearance is too deceptive. She is young, innocent, and has clear eyes. Although she has a lot of experience, she is protected by Xiao Yan.
The outside world thought that most of what she did was done by Xiao Yan, but she just borrowed Song Tangning's name. Except for the Lu family and a few people who had suffered losses at her hands, no one would think that she was just a hairpin girl. How powerful are the little girls, including Empress Lu and the fourth prince and concubine.
The fourth princess listened to the words of the little girl next to her and secretly thought that Song Tangning was indeed as wealthy as her mother said.
"Thank you, County Lord. It was all my fault before. I will be united with the County Lord in the future. I will be with you in the ceremony tonight. If the eldest princess and the others make things difficult for you again, I will stand up for you!"
The fourth princess took out a brocade box while speaking: "This is a string of small purple sandalwood beads that I got before. It can calm the mind and focus, and it is also good for people's health. It is my apology gift to the county master."
Tang Ning quickly refused: "The fourth prince and concubine don't have to do this. I can't have such a valuable thing."
"If you don't want it, then you don't forgive me in your heart."
The Fourth Princess pursed her lips lightly: "Your Highness and Governor Xiao share the same honor and disgrace. The County Lord and I are of the same mind. I was wrong about what happened before. Isn't the County Lord willing to forgive me?"
Tang Ning said: "How could that happen?"
The fourth princess suddenly laughed. She took out the Buddhist beads and put them on Tang Ning's wrist: "That's good. This Buddhist beads is precious and I have always been reluctant to take it with me. Now it is my intention to give it to you."
Tang Ning did not refuse this time, but just touched the bead string: "Thank you so much, the Fourth Princess."
Seeing that she hadn't taken it off, the fourth prince was happy.
However, as a courtesy, Tang Ning also gave the fourth prince a very exquisite and exquisite hollowed-out silver ball sachet as a thank you gift. The sachet contained several mosquito-repelling herbs, and the smell was pleasant. The fourth princess liked it very much and immediately put it on her waist to show her closeness to Tang Ning.
The two chatted for a while, and the fourth prince and concubine made an appointment with Tang Ning to attend the evening Dharma gathering before saying goodbye and leaving.
After exiting the room, she took the sachet and handed it to the maid beside her.
The maid took it, sniffed it, and said in a low voice: "It's a mosquito-repelling herb, and there are some good things for the body mixed in it."
The Fourth Princess felt relieved. Since she wanted Tang Ning to take the Buddhist beads with her, she naturally hung the sachet back on her waist: "Let people keep an eye on her."
"yes."
After Tang Ning's fourth princess left, she handed the Buddhist beads to Yue Jian.
Yue Jian said in a low voice: "It is soaked in medicinal soup, it is hyacinth seeds, and also mixed with some datura flowers. If you wear it for a long time, it will easily cause hallucinations."
Tang Ning sneered. The fourth prince's concubine was really deliberate. She knew that attacking her twice would arouse suspicion, so she exposed her shortcomings and used the woman's jealousy to cover up her purpose, making her relax her vigilance. Then she exposed the fourth prince's treatment of her. "Admiration" is revealed.
After this was accomplished, the fourth prince publicly expressed his willingness to accept her, who had lost her reputation and lost her innocence. Not only would she not doubt her, but she would also be grateful to them.
Yue Jian obviously also understood the plan of the fourth prince and concubine. He held the Buddhist beads and cursed: "This fourth prince and concubine is really shameless!"
As a woman, someone who plots against her like this is innocent. Such a person deserves whatever fate he ends up with!
Tang Ning said coldly: "There is no need to be merciful about things at night."
Yue Jian said in a cold voice: "Yes, girl!"
