The Queen Mother nodded to Qian Qiyue with a smile, and her expression softened a lot when she turned to look at Princess Huan.
"Did you hear that? You are so old, you are not even as good as a little girl. This girl from the Qian family is more understanding than you."
There is no one better to praise than Qian Qiyue. Princess Huan's face turned green for a moment.
The Queen Mother ignored her expression and said solemnly: "The Ai family should punish you for what you did today, but since Rongyue and the others don't care about it, the Ai family will spare you this time and only give you a note." If you commit the crime again next time, you will be punished again."
Princess Huan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Thank you, Queen Mother."
"Okay, get up."
Princess Huan quickly wanted to get up, but she stumbled because she was kneeling too hard just now.
Seeing her embarrassment, the palace attendants quickly stepped forward to help her, and even brought her a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
When other people in the palace saw Princess Huan like this, they became even more wary when they looked at Rong Yue and Tang Ning, especially the second lady of the Liang family. She couldn't help but feel in her heart when she looked at Tang Ning, who had regained her obedient appearance and was standing there. murmur.
Before she entered the palace, her father-in-law Liang Guangyi told her repeatedly that she must not easily conflict with Princess Ning and Mrs. Rong Guo. If there was a dispute, unless it was a matter of life and death, avoid it if possible.
At that time, she was still a little disapproving, feeling that her father-in-law was making a fuss out of a molehill, and that Song Tangning's aunt and nephew only relied on Duke Dingguo. But now that she saw that they had forced Princess Huan to admit her mistake in public with just a few words, she somewhat understood what her father-in-law meant.
These two people are really not easy to mess with.
Fortunately, she didn't get involved rashly and remained silent.
Everyone in the palace had different thoughts, and no one paid attention to Fu Jinrou, let alone her still kneeling. The Queen Mother seemed to have forgotten about her, turning to the elderly nun beside her and said: "This is such a noisy day. Aijia is tired, you should go down and rest first, and come back later to offer medicine."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
Everyone else in the dormitory also responded.
After everyone stood up again, the nun next to her stepped forward to support the tired Queen Mother, as if to remind: "The Queen Mother, Miss Fu..."
The Queen Mother seemed to have just seen Fu Jinrou kneeling on the ground, and she looked surprised: "Why are you still kneeling, kid? Didn't the Ai family just tell you to get up? If you kneel like this and damage your knees, someone will be afraid of you." Said the Ai family was harsh."
Fu Jinrou's face suddenly felt embarrassed. The Queen Mother's "get up" just now was clearly referring to Princess Huan. Besides, she was kneeling in front of the Queen Mother. How could the Queen Mother not know whether she got up or not.
But Fu Jinrou had no idea where she had offended the Queen Mother. Even though she was full of embarrassment and indignation, she did not dare to follow the Queen Mother's words and say that she had not asked her to stand up. She also did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction to the Queen Mother. She had to take all the blame on herself.
"It was Jinrou whose legs were tired and she forgot to get up."
Princess Huan opened her mouth, just about to say something sarcastic about the little bitch for pretending, but what happened just now frightened her, and she could only hold back the bad words that came to her lips.
Qian Qiyue stepped forward with concern: "Jinrou, are you feeling unwell again?"
Fu Jinrou's expression changed. Seeing that the Queen Mother and the others were all looking at her, she was afraid that Qian Qiyue would do something bad because she cared too much about her and would spread the name of her "frail" throughout the palace, so she hurriedly attacked Qian Qiyue. Yue's hand stood up.
"No, I just accidentally knocked it."
"But you..."
"Ayue."
Fu Jinrou whispered and covered her shoulders. Sure enough, Qian Qiyue's gaze was diverted instantly. As if she remembered what Princess Huan had done just now, she turned around and gave Princess Huan a look, but she didn't say anything inappropriate.
Princess Huan: "..."
Her face almost twisted with anger, but she didn't dare to cause trouble to Qian Qiyue anymore for fear of being reprimanded by the Queen Mother.
But this little bitch from the Fu family...
Princess Huan glared back at Fu Jinrou fiercely. Sooner or later, she would make this little bitch look good! !
…
Tang Ning and the others entered the palace to serve the sick. Except for Prince Ji and Princess Huan, who were arranged to live in the side hall of Shoukang Palace, the other ladies and girls were all arranged to live in Qiyun Hall next to Shoukang Palace and the adjacent ones. In Xiaoshu Hall, Mrs. Wenxinhou and Mrs. Cui, who came earlier, went to see Concubine Yu after paying homage to the Queen Mother.
Mrs. Cao and the others reminisced about old times with Rong Yue in a low voice, while Fu Jinrou stood with Qian Qiyue and Tang Ning.
Fu Jinrou couldn't figure out the Queen Mother's thoughts along the way, and was a little uneasy: "Ah Yue, does the Queen Mother not like me?"
"What are you thinking about?" Qian Qiyue opened her eyes and told lies: "You have a gentle temper and act appropriately. There is no better girl than you. How could the Queen Mother not like you?"
"But just now..."
Fu Jinrou always felt that the Queen Mother's attitude towards her was too cold.
It was clear that Mrs. Fu had a good relationship with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother had allowed her to enter the palace for the banquet, but how could she be so merciless now?
Qian Qiyue rolled her eyes: "Don't think too much. What happened just now must be because of Princess Huan. She is a member of the royal family and a royal princess. The Queen Mother can't really call her if she doesn't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face. Too embarrassing.”
Seeing Fu Jinrou's hesitation, Tang Ning, who was standing aside, spoke to her:
"It's not that the Queen Mother doesn't like you, it's just that my aunt and I were in charge of what happened just now, and Sister Qian is in charge of the righteousness. In addition, Uncle Qian's household department cannot tolerate any mistakes. The Queen Mother has beaten Princess Huan thirty times, and she will always have to do it." Give her some respect, otherwise others will look down upon King Huan, so he can only be a little colder towards you."
Fu Jinrou frowned when he heard this, is that so?
But thinking about it carefully, the Queen Mother did not embarrass her too much except for letting her kneel for a little longer in the end.
Compared to Princess Huan, who was forced to admit her mistake by being lectured in public, she was in a much better situation.
Qian Qiyue pulled Fu Jinrou to chat a few words, and when Tang Ning winked at her, she let go.
"Jinrou, you were injured by Princess Huan just now. I think you seem to be in severe pain. Go back quickly and let the girl next to you see how the injury on your shoulder is. If it's really not good, you have to ask the imperial doctor. "
Fu Jinrou's shoulder really hurt, so she nodded: "Then you should rest earlier."
Tang Ning said softly: "Sister Fu, walk slowly."
When Fu Jinrou led the maid beside him to turn around and leave and go down the steps, there happened to be someone bringing water and food on the opposite side. Yue Jian, who was standing next to Tang Ning, suddenly moved his fingers, and Fu Jinrou seemed to have stepped on something, and her feet swayed. He leaned forward and bumped into the man carrying the copper basin, and then fell into the flowers nearby.
After the palace maid knocked over the copper basin in her hand, the contents splashed all over Fu Jinrou.
The back of Fu Jinrou's hand was scratched by some vegetation, and she couldn't help but scream out in pain. When she turned over from the ground, she saw that her dress and face were covered with dust and mud.
