Rumors quickly spread to the palace. Although the Emperor had always been in a high position, he was not deaf or blind. After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, he asked Mu Yunqi to bring Xu Zhen to apologize.
After all, Xu Ling 'er was the daughter of the Prime Minister and Mu Yunlan's fiancée. She was considered half a member of the royal family. This matter was the Crown Princess Consort's fault. If she did not apologize, it would probably affect the Crown Prince's reputation.
Mu Yunqi was a smart person. He could naturally see what the emperor had considered.
Therefore, after the morning court session, Mu Yunqi brought Xu Zhen to the Left Prime Minister's Estate.
Xu Zhen was already jealous of Xu Ling 'er, but at this moment, she had no choice but to apologize. Her face was sour from the moment she left the house to the moment she entered the residence. Mu Yunqi couldn't be bothered with her and was talking to the Left Prime Minister with a smile.
The Left Prime Minister said that he was fine, but he still refused to let them see Xu Ling 'er.
Mu Yunqi had no choice but to take out a piece of top-quality white jade and put on the airs of a crown prince. The Left Prime Minister finally let go.
Xu Ling 'er was sitting alone in the pavilion embroidering. She saw them coming from afar and stood up to welcome them with a smile.
"Why is His Highness the Crown Prince here?"
Mu Yunqi smiled as he stepped forward. The moment he saw Xu Linger's smile, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Her current state was not the worst ending.
"Two days ago, the Japanese Palace didn't take good care of Ling 'er and made her suffer. This time, I specially brought Zhen' er over to apologize to you.”
Mu Yunqi gestured for Xu Zhen to step forward. Helpless, she walked forward with a stiff face and bowed gently." I was wrong last time. Please forgive me, Sister."”
Xu Ling 'er smiled and did not go forward to help her." What are you saying, Crown Princess Consort?" I'm the one who needs to learn, and I'm also the one who can't endure hardship. How did it become the Empress 'fault? It was just that this official's daughter did not expect that the Empress would actually take that joke so seriously.”
Xu Zhen's heart trembled." I just listened to the slanderous words of this vile person. Sister, please don't blame me."”
"What is niangniang saying, how could this official's daughter blame niangniang?”As Xu Ling 'er spoke, she took a step forward and held her hand affectionately. She looked at the lotus pond not far away and said," It's already late spring. I heard that the Empress loves lotuses the most. Why don't we take a walk along that bridge?"”
Xu Zhen frowned slightly. She really didn't know where she heard that she liked lotus flowers.
She looked down on flowers that grew out of mud.
But at this moment, she could only force a smile." Sure."”
Mu Yunqi looked at the two of them and felt relieved. He slowed down and followed behind them unhurriedly, thinking about how to subdue this woman.
Xu Ling 'er turned her gaze to the lotus pond in the distance." Is the Empress afraid that this official's daughter will shake your position, so she attacked this official's daughter?"”
Xu Zhen was stunned and snorted coldly." I'm the Crown Princess Consort. Do you think I'm afraid of you?”
"Then why did the Empress attack me?”Xu Ling 'er turned her head to look at her as she spoke. Her burning gaze seemed to be able to read the deepest things in a person.
Xu Zhen panicked and turned her face away." Is my matter something you can ask about?”
Xu Ling 'er lowered her eyes and smiled." I didn't really take it seriously at first, but I've heard a lot about it. I can't help but wonder if there's really destiny on my body. If that was the case, the Crown Prince would probably be worried.”
As she spoke, she intentionally looked behind her and smiled lightly." But I think His Highness the Crown Prince still likes the Empress very much. He probably won't shake the Empress 'position just because of such a false rumor.”
" What do you mean?" Xu Zhen was alarmed.”
Xu Ling 'er pretended not to understand and looked at her, then said sincerely,""Although this official's daughter does not have such good fortune as Niangniang, this official's daughter only wishes to obtain one person's heart in this life and will definitely not be willing to become a concubine, so Niangniang, you do not need to worry that I will pose any threat to you.”
Xu Zhen's face paled. Although she said that, the meaning in her words was very obvious. She was clearly saying that the position of Crown Princess would be hers sooner or later.
As long as she, Xu Ling 'er, was willing.
Xu Zhen's heart was burning with anger, but she tried her best to suppress it.
"The position of the Crown Princess is not something that can be taken by anyone who wants to take it," she said coldly.”
Xu Ling 'er raised her eyebrows in surprise and chuckled." But now, it seems that my reputation is better than the Empress's." Moreover, the rumor that you can get the world is still with this official's daughter. I wonder if a person like me has the qualifications to…"
"Xu Ling 'er!" Xu Zhen suddenly said angrily.
"Empress, I was only joking. Don't be angry.”Xu Ling 'er hurriedly said respectfully.
Mu Yunqi frowned and quickly stepped forward." What's wrong with you guys?”
"It's nothing, this official's daughter was just joking with the crown prince consort…"
"How could Your Highness eavesdrop on the private conversations of us girls?”Xu Zhen interrupted Xu Ling 'er's words. The anger on her face was completely gone. She said coquettishly,"Your Highness, really ~"
Mu Yunqi looked at the two of them strangely. He had already offended Xu Ling 'er and the Left Prime Minister. He would not allow any accidents to happen.
Xu Ling 'er smiled gently and slowly walked forward with Xu Zhen, pulling away from Mu Yunqi.
"Why is the Empress afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince will find out?" Xu Ling 'er asked in a low voice. If he had told His Highness about this, His Highness would definitely have protected the Empress.”
Xu Zhen's face turned pale. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Xu Ling 'er's low laughter.
"Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince also believed that rumor? Do you really want to take me into the Eastern Palace?”
As she spoke, she deliberately dragged out the last syllable and sized up Xu Zhen's gradually pale face.
"Actually, His Highness the Crown Prince is valiant and valiant. He should be the object of admiration for many women.”
"You're engaged now," Xu Zhen reminded coldly.”
"I know." Xu Ling 'er pretended to be upset." If I had known the Crown Prince earlier, perhaps things would be different now, right?"”
Xu Zhen's heart trembled, and her eyes flashed with anger. "A woman like you will never be able to sit on the position of Crown Princess." As long as I'm around, you can forget about it.”
"I was just joking, why must the Empress take it so seriously?”Xu Ling 'er said as she grabbed Xu Zhen's hand.
Xu Zhen suddenly felt that the woman in front of her was a little scary and annoying. The anger in her heart rose sharply because of her touch. She suddenly flung her hand away and said angrily,"Don't touch me."
Xu Ling 'er was shocked, as if she did not expect her to shake her hand off. She lost her balance and fell backward.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:51AM
