She wanted to pull Lan Qing's hand again, but she was thrown away by her sleeve, Jing Tan didn't stand firm and almost stumbled and fell to the ground, but fortunately, Ah Heng followed behind her.

Ah Heng couldn't help but speak: "Eldest princess, our princess has been fighting with the emperor for the past two days, and she hasn't been to Zichen Hall for a few days, and she hasn't even seen the emperor's face. ”

Lan Qing snorted coldly and said, "Fighting spirit? What a vindictive! I didn't know that Heng Gonggong's official was big, and the master was talking, so he could interject at will! ”

Hearing her say this about Ah Heng, Jing Tan was a little uneven, and was about to argue, but Ah Heng pulled her and whispered: "The eldest princess is emotionally unstable now, and the princess should not worry too much about it." So Jingtan had no choice but to give up.

"There is still mist in the morning, big sister should go back early, if you get cold, Jiyue will not feel at ease."

Lan Qing only left one sentence, "Fake." And he left.

Ah Heng checked her face, which was already reddening, but fortunately it was not swollen. took out the cool plaster and wiped it on her, and was thinking about taking her to the Tai Hospital, but she stopped her, and warned everyone not to be silent about the slap today, especially not to mention Mei Guifei, everyone agreed stupidly.

So he left Ah Heng in the Criminal Division, and he went to Zichen Hall alone.

Outside the Zichen Palace, there were a bunch of palace maids and eunuchs, Jing Tan recognized Ju Qinlai beside the queen with sharp eyes, presumably the queen's purpose was the same as hers, although it was rumored that the queen treated the two daughters quite coldly, but if something happened to her daughter, how could she not save it? As can be seen, most of the rumors are not credible.

Before he got closer, Gao Cheng greeted him and said: "Third princess, weren't you still angry with the emperor two days ago, why did you come so early today, the third princess is here for the eldest princess." ”

"Mr. Gao is in charge of his eyesight."

"This old slave is going to persuade you, the emperor is losing his temper inside, and some of them are making trouble, little princess, don't join in this fun."

"Shut up!" The two were talking, and the emperor's roar came from inside.

Gao Cheng pouted at her and said, "You can see it." ”

"Don't spread the word, I'll go in and see." With the emperor's temper, if it is passed on, she will be allowed in.

Jingtan people have light steps, and the emperor did not notice it when he walked outside the palace. Jing Tan poked her head out of the door, thinking about seeing how angry the emperor was, so that she could prepare for a moment of pleading.

The emperor was standing with his hands behind his back, and there was a broken teacup on the ground, which he thought had just lost his temper and smashed it. I saw him say coldly: "You haven't always disliked two children, how can you intercede for them today." ”

The queen turned her head to the side and said lightly: "They are my children." ”

"Really?" The emperor looked at her thoughtfully, "Theft is just a set of rhetoric to save the royal face, look at what your daughter is doing, do you hate to marry so much, even a eunuch has to be involved?" ”

The queen suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, but her tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "Lan Qing is young, and he will never do anything that will hinder the emperor's face, and the emperor should not listen to the villain's instigation." ”

The emperor asked rhetorically, "Instigation? You say that you have a nose and eyes, you say it is instigation? ”

"Does the emperor not believe Lan Qing like that?" The queen looked up at her, her tone questioning. Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, he said, "Also, the emperor has always only believed in himself." ”

As soon as these words came out, both of them were silent.

Seeing that the two of them were in a stalemate in the hall, Jing Tan didn't care if the timing was right or not, he went in and knelt down with a plop, pretending to be pitiful: "Father, Ji Yue is good, I have seen that he has his own rules for more than a year, if I am his master, I am willing to be close to him, so the eldest sister treats him only as a master and servant, and there will never be such an unbearable friendship as rumored." ”

The emperor frowned, a little displeased, "Who let you in, and what are the people outside eating?" ”

"It's I who don't let them pass it on, if the father wants to condemn him, it will be counted on my head, my daughter just thinks that the father and the emperor will arrest people without a certificate and no evidence, it is not a gentleman's doing, at least before the matter is clarified, let Ji Yue go, or ground him, just don't take people to the criminal department, I heard that the torture is so severe, if it is tortured, it will not be a good person in vain."

The emperor raised his forehead and said, "Tan'er, this matter has nothing to do with you, you go back first." ”

"How can the matter of the big sister have nothing to do with me....." Jing Tan pinched her crying, thinking that maybe her father would be soft-hearted and listen to her words.

"Tan'er, this is the second time you've been disobedient." The emperor looked at her with a warning look in his eyes, and then ordered outside: "Come on, send the third princess back." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone came forward to pull her, Jing Tan was unhappy, and suddenly felt that her father's temper had become bigger and bigger recently, why didn't she even listen to her words, is this still Su Ri's father who is obedient to her.....

At this time, Gao Cheng was a little hesitant to pass the message: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is asking to see you outside." ”

I only heard the emperor coldly drop a sentence: "I don't see." Gao Cheng retreated with interest.

"Little princess, what the slave just said, the emperor is angry at the moment, and no one will listen to him." Gao Cheng whispered beside her.

"My father has been very ..... lately." Jing Tan was a little depressed for a while, but she was confident in front of her big sister, but now she was slapped in the face.

When I went out, I saw Lan Qing kneeling on the ground in plain clothes from a distance, looking like she wouldn't get up if her father didn't see her. She didn't have the face to see Lan Qing now, and she was afraid that if she saw it, it would be a misunderstanding and inevitably a dispute, so she carefully walked away from the corner gate.

After returning to Qifeng Pavilion and asking about Ji Yue's situation, Ah Heng gave her face medicine, and said that he had stuffed a lot of silver coins for the people in the Criminal Division, and it would not be a big deal in the near future, Jing Tan was also relieved, fortunately, she could ensure Ji Yue's personal safety.

"By the way, Ah Heng, why did there be a talk about food in the past, but now it is still not accepted by people when it is mentioned in front of others?" She thought of the emperor's expression today, and seemed to feel that it was a very shameful thing for the chamberlain to have feelings for others.

Ah Heng paused for her hand pouring tea for her, and her face was embarrassed, "Because the waiter said that it is unreasonable to eat, people like us can't have the love of men and women." ”

"But why? Shouldn't it be rational to exist? She looked at him with wide eyes, her eyes full of puzzlement, she thought, since the eldest sister and Ji Yue have the same heart, then they should be together.

Ah Heng was silent, his expression was a little weird, and he said slowly after a while: "....... because the minions are eunuchs." ”

She asked, "I often hear people talk about eunuchs, and I know that eunuchs can't marry, but why can't they marry?" ”

For this question, Ah Heng seemed to be a little difficult to answer, so he squeezed out a smile at her and said: "Princess, don't say the word 'eunuch' at will in the future, it is not in line with etiquette." ”

"Got it." Jing Tan nodded in confusion, and continued to ask about marrying.

Ah Heng only said vaguely: "The princess is still young, and she will know when she is older." ”

"Then Brother Ah Heng will also eat in the future?"

Ah Heng cleaned up the book case and seemed to say casually: "The slave will never eat with anyone in his life." The tone was all affirmative.

"Why?"

Ah Heng pointed to the "Book of Tea" on the bookcase, and said with a smile: "The princess has time to know why, it is better to copy this "Book of Tea" first, Aunt Hongyu praised the princess for making good tea a few days ago, and it is rare to use it for a while this morning, and this time she will slack off again." When Aunt Hongyu asks tomorrow, what should the princess do? ”

Jing Tan pursed her lips and secretly slandered herself: Obviously, you forced me up.

So Jingtan also forgot to ask, and went to read the "Book of Tea" with all her heart, Ah Heng called Ying'er to grind it for her, and she went to the small kitchen to get her food.

This day and night, Ah Heng rarely did not serve in Jing Tan's cabinet, all day a day Ah Heng kept vigil in front of her bed to add incense, but today it was replaced by Ying'er, Jing Tan copied the "Book of Tea" until late at night, and fell asleep as soon as she got upside down, and did not ask anything more.

Early the next morning, Jingtan saw that only Ying'er was the only one who came in to serve, so she asked Ah Heng.

Ying'er shook her head blankly, and said while combing her hair: "When I got up in the morning, I saw Master Heng waiting at the door, and the slaves and maids thought that the princess was annoyed with him, and he received the punishment at the door." ”

Hearing this, Jing Tan tried to think about whether she had offended him yesterday, but after thinking about it, she only asked him about eunuchs last night, was it for this?

"Go and call him in for me."

Ying'er agreed to go out, but after a while, a person came in, and her face was embarrassed: "Back to the princess, he said that he was only waiting outside, and if the princess was freshened up, he would go to the side hall for breakfast......"

So she went to the side hall after she finished grooming, and sure enough, she saw Ah Heng, and when she came, she still greeted her with a smile, as if there was nothing abnormal, her doubts were even worse, and she asked: "What's wrong with you today, but annoyed me with those words yesterday?" ”

"The slave won't annoy the princess." What he said was not that he didn't dare, he wouldn't, but the word 'no' was even more displeasing to her, she would rather Ah Heng would be annoyed with her, not annoyed her, didn't he mean to be separated from her?

Jing Tan frowned and said, "Then Ah Heng, did you deliberately break up with me?" ”

Ah Heng sandwiched a piece of milk rhode cake on her plate, and said with a smile: "The princess will always be the master of the slave, how can the slave be separated from the princess, but next year, the princess will go to the palace to learn the Yan pedant, the emperor and the concubine Niangniang watched, this etiquette rule must not be put in the back of the mind, and the identity of the slave is really not suitable to enter the princess's cabinet." ”

Jing Tan tugged at his sleeve and said: "The etiquette rules are good to say, just act like a person in front of people, but if you really annoy me for yesterday's words, and from now on you have a relationship with me, then it shouldn't be." I had no intention of saying those things...."

"The slave doesn't know the princess yet, but he doesn't enter the cabinet, and the slave also serves the princess the same."

Hearing him say this, Jing Tan smiled reassuringly, took a bite of the milk cake, and said with a smile: "That's the same." ”

On this day, Jingtan went to Chenghuan Hall to ask for training, but heard the news that the eldest princess knelt outside the Zichen Palace all night yesterday, and fainted on her knees, and the emperor still didn't see her, and said that the eldest princess had a deep friendship with her close servants.

"Why didn't you tell me yesterday that my big sister was still kneeling?" Jing Tan was resentful and went to the Kangning Palace.

Ah Heng said with a look of grievance: "The slave only cares about the news from the side of the Criminal Division, how would he know that the eldest princess knelt there all night....."

"It rained last night, and I don't know what happened to my big sister....."
