lady, please calm down

It's late afternoon and the sun is shining brightly, which is the best time in winter.

But the atmosphere in the back house of the prince's palace was far less pleasant than that of Rongrong Nuanyang.

It was a normal thing for children to fight and get angry, but today's matter, one of the two parties was more noble than the other, and Wanyan An had a piece of flesh bitten off on his hand, it seemed that it was not so easy to solve.

The fifth time they entered the back house, the female guard who came first had already pulled them apart. Wanyanan, who was tightly hugged by Pu Xian, was still struggling, "I want to kill you, kill you!"

Not long after Chai Yuanyi and Mao'er arrived, Cai Hua and other female relatives who were staying in the back house also ran over after hearing the news.

Wan Yanliang had been wronged a lot today, and now there was a burning pain on the back of his hand. Although he had ambitions, he was still a child less than ten years old. The moment he saw Chai Yuanyi, he couldn't help crying. , then raised his bloody hand and pointed fiercely at Mian'er, who had just wiped away the blood on the corner of his mouth by Tie Dan, "Mother, it was me who bit me with this crooked bone, please don't let her go lightly!"

"Crooked bone" is a curse word used by the Jurchens. The original meaning refers to the thin layer of zenith meat inside the horn. It is fishy, ​​unpleasant and the most despicable. The Jurchens often compare it to the lowly Han slaves and maids.

Mao'er immediately checked on siblings Ji'er and Ran'er, and was relieved to see that they were not injured.

Yunong and Jiarou are also focused on their children and have no time to pay attention to Wanyan'an for the time being.

Cai Hua, on the other hand, although she didn't understand what the crooked bones meant, she knew it was not a good word just after looking at Yan An's expression, so she calmly replied: "This is the most beloved Sanniang in the palace. "

It's hard to say whether Mian'er is the most favored by her father, but Cai Hua is obviously reminding her that this little girl is not an ordinary girl who comes to the house as a guest from other families, but the daughter of the royal family.

These words also reminded Jiarou. The person Mian'er bit was the crown prince of Jin!

It's not that Jiarou is afraid of Wanyan'an, but she is aware of the current situation. The King of Chu needs to use Wanyan'an as a starting point to control the old generals of the Jin Kingdom such as the Khitan, Jurchen, and Bohai.

Being from an imperial family, she knew very well that men would do anything to achieve their political goals. For a moment, she couldn't help but worry that Chen Chu would punish Mian'er in order to appease Wanyan An. After all, the injury on Wanyan An's hand was caused by her daughter.

Furthermore, among the children of the royal family who participated in the conflict today, Brother Ji and Sister Ran were direct children, and Rao'er was the victim. After thinking about it, she decided that her Mian'er was suitable for Wanyan'an to vent her anger on.

Mian'er was Jiarou's lifeblood. Jiarou couldn't help but want to calm down the matter before the man in the front yard intervened. But just when she was about to apologize, she heard Li Zhaodi shouting from the outside: "Your Majesty has your fate, please ask Queen Dajin The empress, the prince, the princess and the crown prince move to Shangxian Hall."

Shangxian Hall is the largest main hall in the palace.

It seemed that the front was also alarmed.

Jiarou couldn't help but become more anxious, but Li Zhaodi's message did not let her go. Jiarou could not advance or retreat for a while.

Until Chai Yuanyi, Mao'er and the children went forward, the anxious Jiarou had not thought of a good idea.

At this time, I heard Ayu beside me whisper: "Come on, don't you go and take a look?"

"But King Chu didn't invite us over!"

Jia Rou subconsciously said that when Cai Hua, who had already walked several steps, heard this, she turned around and said, "There is a back hall behind the main hall of Shangxian Hall, separated only by wooden windows and curtains. Don't you know?"

"."

Since Cai Hua and Jia Rou had an unpleasant conversation at Qingyun Temple more than a month ago, the two have not spoken in private for a long time.

Today, it was Cai Hua who took the lead to break this subtle barrier. Jiarou missed her daughter so much that this was not the right time to fight. Finally, she took a few steps and asked awkwardly, "Would King Chu... Wanyan'an is leaving for Mian'er?"

Even though she and Cai Hua were having trouble, Ke Jiarou still couldn't help but want to ask her, which showed that the female family members all agreed that Cai Hua knew Chen Chu best.

But when Cai Hua heard this, she curled her lips and sneered, as if Jia Rou's question was silly, and then continued to move forward with her hands behind her back, saying: "Yunong, please tell our eldest princess, will the prince punish you?" Mian'er."

Although Rao'er was also taken forward, Yunong only felt indignant towards Wanyan'an and did not show any concern for her daughter. She only heard her explain: "Of course not! We are not to blame for what happened today. My child! He has bullied our child. Not to mention biting off a piece of his flesh, even if he chops off his hand, the young master will not blame our child!"

Jiarou felt that today's events were different from those in the past. After all, it was related to the safety of the Jin Kingdom. Yunong saw the lingering worry on the former's face and simply said: "Jiarou, you have only been in the palace for a short time, so you don't know the master's temperament. He is the best at protecting shortcomings! Not to mention that the young master is now a prince. When he was still a captain, he dared to kill the imperial envoy for me."

"Cough cough~"

"cough!"

Cai Hua and A Yu coughed almost at the same time. This matter has long been no secret among Caizhou's senior officials. Now that the entire Da Qi is almost owned by the King of Chu, naturally he is not afraid of the Da Qi court settling accounts in the future. Xu Bang even often uses this matter Show off, to show how wise he was in his decision to firmly follow the King of Chu and kill officials, and to emphasize his status as a "hero from the dragon".

But, it was a little embarrassing to mention it in front of Jia Rou.

After all, it was Liu Qi's imperial envoy who was killed back then, and it was Chen Chu who was the first to win over Liu Qi's empire.

Fortunately, Jia Rou was focused on her daughter at the moment. She didn't know if she didn't hear clearly, so she didn't ask any more questions.

A few dozen breaths later, the three of them went to the front house and slipped into the back hall through the back door of Shangxian Hall.

In Shangxian Hall, Chai Yuanyi was invited to take the main seat according to the nominal dignity.

Below, on one side are Chen Chu, Mao'er, Chen Jingyan, and Cai Kun, and on the other side are Zhang Hao, Luo Ruji, Zhang Shuye, Zhang Chunxiao, and Odaochong
Chen Zaiwen's "assassin" just now caused quite a stir. Shortly after Chen Chu got the news, Zhang Hao, who was sitting at the same table, also quickly learned about the conflict between the prince and the crown prince from his entourage.

This is what Jia Rou is worried about. Envoys from various countries are in the palace today. Although Zhang Shuye and Zhang Chunxiao have long been clear that they are from the King of Chu, Zhang Hao, Luo Ruji, and Aodaochong are either sitting on the wall and watching. Be prepared with both hands, or be like Aodaochong who was simply coerced into signing an alliance under the city.

Under such circumstances, Chen Chu's attitude towards Wanyan An is of great symbolic significance. If Chen Chu sided with Wanyan An, speaking in a small way, he would gain a reputation as a "just" person in front of the envoys, and speaking in a big way , and can even affect the future intensity of resistance of the Xixia Emperor and Lin'an Emperor Zhou.

Therefore, when Zhuan Yun secretly looked through the crack in the window and told the three of them who was in front of them, Jiarou couldn't help but become nervous again.

Even Cai Hua frowned slightly. It was the King of Chu's own children who had a conflict with the Crown Prince of Jin. Regardless of the facts, Chen Chu could only appear fair by punishing his own children and appeasing Wanyan An.

Under such a huge political influence, Cai Hua was not sure.

In the front, except for Ying'er and Nian'er, the other four children of the palace stood in a row. Such a big scene today frightened them.

Ran'er and Rao'er were fine, but Mian'er, the youngest, tightened her mouth, curved the corners of her mouth, and her eye sockets were filled with mist, and she was about to cry.

Fortunately, Ran'er noticed that her sister was about to cry, so she quietly stretched out her hand, took Mian'er's hand, and said in the voice of only the two sisters: "Daddy is here, don't be afraid."

"If daddy beats Mian'er later, sister will help me plead for mercy."

Not saying that daddy was okay, Mian'er finally couldn't bear it when he mentioned daddy. Tears fell in strings, but she didn't dare to cry out.

Seeing this, Ran'er no longer ignored the presence of so many adults, and simply took out a handkerchief to wipe Mian'er's tears, and then wanted to imitate her aunt and pick up Mian'er to comfort Mian'er. But the difference between the two was only a little over a year, and she couldn't hold her even though she tried several times.

Ji'er, the only boy among the four little ones, saw his eyes turn red when he saw this, but he stubbornly wiped it with his sleeve, knelt down in front of his father with a thud, raised his head and said, "Father, today the child saw Sister Rao for the first time. I was bullied and couldn't help but hit someone! But today's matter has nothing to do with the sisters at home, nor does it have anything to do with Brother Qin and Zai Wen. If the father punishes the child, then he will be punished! "

When Chen Ji said this, Cai Qin, who was holding his head up, immediately knelt down beside Ji'er and shouted: "If a man dares to act, I will also beat that barbarian. Uncle, I can't just punish Brother Ji!" "

Chen Zaiwen, who had his head lowered and pretended to be pitiful, knelt down when he heard the sound and whispered: "Uncle, it was the Crown Prince of Jin who disrespected Sister Rao first. His nun just beat us. Also, we also "I don't know that he is the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom. Anyone who doesn't know is not guilty. If I read that Brother Zai Ji is a first offender, my uncle will be punished."

Chen Jingyan, who was sitting next to him, looked at his nose and heart without saying a word. Cai Kun, who was next to him, glanced at the former. Seeing how calm Chen Jingyan was, he simply kept silent.

Well, if the three little ones were punished by Yuan Zhang together, it would not be a bad thing. If the grandson of the Wangfu and the first heir to Yuan Zhang were punished together, would the relationship between them be worse in the future if the grandson of the Chen family and Cai Kun's son could be punished with him? ?

Behind the scenes, Jiarou, who was concerned but confused, had been lying by the window crack for a long time, watching Ran'er hugging Mian'er and Ji'er stepping forward to take responsibility for protecting her sister. She saw it all.

Jia Rou, who had been accustomed to the indifference of the palace since she was a child, suddenly felt a sore nose. Behind her, Cai Hua, who had been listening carefully to what was going on in front of her, said meaningfully: "Children in the family know how to love and protect their sisters even if they are beaten, but they don't know that the adults are always behind their backs." What are you doing with those boring tricks!”

Jia Rou understood what he heard, so she couldn't help but turn around and opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, no words came out.

But after hearing what Chen Zaiwen said about "I didn't know he was the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom," Wan Yanan in front immediately said angrily: "Absurd! I have clearly stated my identity, you are lying!"

Looking at that look, if Chai Yuanyi hadn't grabbed him, he would have stepped forward to hit someone.

Just now, when Chen Ji was telling what happened, Wanyan An only stared down with resentful eyes and did not refute a word. At this time, because of the sentence "I don't know his identity", he became furious.

Everyone present could guess that what the young prince of the palace said should be true.

Chen Chu didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, his face was calm and showed no emotion or anger, but at this moment, the envoys from all sides kept glancing at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Mao'er looked at Ji'er who was kneeling on the ground, feeling extremely distressed. Even though he knew that his son had conflicts with others to protect his sisters, for the sake of the overall situation, he still took the initiative to apologize to Chai Yuanyi.

He also took the initiative and said: "Today, Lai Ji'er's wet nurse is not accompanying her to take care of her. Han Lu, please go back and let me know. I will kill Grandma Jia of Hanchundang with a stick!"

The last voice was cold and severe.

The adults present did not realize that there was anything wrong with this treatment. It was just a wet nurse's servant, and he was beaten to death. It just gave the prince some vent and also reduced the punishment he faced.

For a moment, the idea of ​​letting a servant take the blame and venting anger on the prince was the best solution in the envoy's mind, and some even secretly praised the princess for her wit.

"Princess, you don't have to be like this." Only Chai Yuanyi gave a few symbolic words of advice.

But Han Lu, Mao'er's attendant, clearly understood the ingenuity in the princess's words and had already responded and walked out, seemingly to carry out the order.

Ji'er was stunned for a moment and almost asked, "Mother, when did the child have a wet nurse named Jia?"

Jia. Isn't it just fake? A fake wet nurse is like killing the air with a stick.

If the palace beat a servant to death, who would dare to ask for an autopsy in person?
If the princess said she was beaten to death, then she was beaten to death!
Seeing that the farce between the children was about to end, Wanyan An didn't know whether it was because Mao'er was easy to talk to, but he raised his hand again and pointed at Chen Ji and Chen Mian, shouting: "No! Your family The wet nurse didn’t beat me, so I have to give them both thirty lashes myself to calm them down!”

"An'er, don't mess around!" Chai Yuanyi persuaded Wanyan An more and more enthusiastically.

Chen Chu, who had never spoken, then looked at Wanyan An and heard him say: "I will punish the dog when I get back without your Highness taking action. But today, my servant was guilty and has been executed with a stick. Where is Your Highness's wet nurse?" I heard that she also attacked the Chen and Cai families?"

"."

Wanyan'an was startled, but Grandma Pu Xian, who had not said a word, suddenly raised her head, and a huge fear quickly arose in her heart.

"How dare you!" Wanyan An finally suppressed his words, but he was obviously not as confident as when he faced Shang Ji'er's group of children.

Chen Chu waved his hand casually outside the hall and said at the same time: "Zhao Di, take the child behind."

This was because he was afraid that being beaten on the spot would frighten the children.

When Li Zhaodi took the children of the palace out of the hall, Xiao Yi had already led someone to push Pu Xian to the ground.

Wanyan'an, who was completely possessed by fear and anger, wanted to jump down and stop him, but was hugged tightly by a guard, and he couldn't break free no matter how hard he kicked.

The execution was carried out very quickly, and even before the envoys could react, the thick-armed water and fire stick had already landed on Pu Xian's back.

Vomiting blood with a stick
This is not holding back at all.

Also, Xiao Yi, a group of personal guards stationed at the house, are already close to Ji'er, who talks about his brother and brother every time they meet. Today, seeing that the young prince is being bullied, and the prince has issued a death order, how can he not kill him in pain? .

After a few blows, Pu Xian, who had gritted his teeth and kept silent, could no longer bear it. He used his last breath of strength and shouted in Jurchen language: "Master, you need to be patient!"

Wanyan An's eyes were about to burst, but there was nothing he could do.

After dozens of breaths, Pu Xian gradually became silent.
A fake wet nurse dies in my family, and a wet nurse dies in your family. Is it fair?
Ao Daochong, who was sitting on the chair, twisted uncomfortably. He always felt that King Chu killed the wet nurse of the Crown Prince of Jin with a stick in public, not only to shock Wanyan An, but also to show them.

Chen Jingyan casually glanced at the incompetent and furious Wanyan An, and thought to himself: You didn't ask for it. Originally, Yuan Zhang didn't want to care about your child, but you provoked and caused trouble again and again. You must know that in the beginning, You are not the only son Wanyan Dan brought to Nanjing!
It was only then that Chen Chu stood up and bowed to Chai Yuanyi and said, "I have frightened the Queen today. Please forgive me."

"No problem, King Chu handled it very properly." Chai Yuanyi forced a smile.

Immediately, Chen Chu turned to face the envoys and said: "There are some small things in the back house that have delayed your interest in drinking. Let's go back to the table and continue. I will punish myself with three drinks."

Cai Kun hurriedly raised his hand and asked his brother-in-law to go first, and then said: "Hahaha, yes, yes, don't let the lazy servants affect your mood. The dog also got into trouble today, and I should punish myself with three cups of wine as punishment. "

He said it as punishment, but his tone and expression sounded like he was proud because the 'Quinzi' and the Crown Prince had gotten into trouble together.

After everyone left, Wanyan An, who was still in the hall, finally broke free from the restraints. He kicked the guard's leg first, then hurried to Pu Xian, and pulled him a few times, but the latter was completely helpless. Made a little noise.

This wet nurse took him from his birth until he was seven years old, and she was extremely affectionate.

Seeing that she had been upgraded and cut off, Wanyan'an couldn't help but feel sad. He ran to Chai Yuanyi in a few steps and cried: "Mother, I want to avenge Mother Pu Xian, and I want to kill them all!"

While looking at Pu Xian's body quietly, Chai Yuanyi slapped Wanyan An on the face without any warning, and scolded you in a low voice: "As long as you know enough is enough, I won't harm you today." The wet nurse lost her life in vain!" (End of Chapter)
