Chapter 42
Wang Yien smiled and said: "I know that you are very concerned about this case, and I have already inquired about the progress with Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou said that he has roughly found out, and some specific evidence is needed to bring the murderer to justice. But at present, These murderous cases may be related to the Chenzhou Pingquan warehouse theft case 12 years ago. At that time, His Majesty may need to personally try it."

Emperor Xining nodded, his unobtrusive gaze passing over the three sons present, and said, "Tell him to find out the whole story and tell the palace directly if he needs anything."

"Yes," Wang Yien agreed respectfully.

At this time, a young eunuch came in from outside and stood at the door and said: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess has entered the palace and wants to complain to you."

Emperor Xining frowned. It happened that the matter had been discussed. He ordered his three sons to keep an eye on the progress of the border affairs. He stood up and said, "Go and take a look."

In the Queen Mother's Palace of Fortune and Longevity, the elderly eldest princess stood on the ground holding a cane, wiping her face with a handkerchief and sobbing. While crying, she complained: "I am really shameless. My grandson was beaten to death." If you look like this, go to the Cheng Mansion and ask for an explanation. Then the old lady of the Cheng family will make me feel embarrassed. My sister-in-law, you can't ignore this matter."

The Queen Mother is much younger than the eldest princess. She has been listening patiently, but she is very impatient in her heart.

Then when she finished her story, she asked the palace maid next to her to help the eldest princess to her seat, and then asked the imperial physician below: "How are you doing tomorrow?"

Imperial Physician: How do you say this?

Mr. Zheng is really fine. His nose and face are swollen, but not to the extent that he is lying on the board and unable to stand up.

The eldest princess also looked over. The imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Take good care of her. There will be no serious problem."

"The emperor is here, and the empress is here."

The eunuch's announcement sounded, and the eldest princess stood up quickly. Emperor Xining, who was dressed in bright yellow, had already walked in with the queen in gorgeous and noble clothes.

When the eldest princess saw the gift, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Aunt, you're welcome."

He didn't go over to help her up in person.

The eldest princess knew that the emperor's nephew was becoming more and more rude to her.

But a newly returned daughter of the Cheng family dared to bully the Zheng family like this. She must teach the Cheng family a lesson today.

Just as the eldest princess was about to speak, the emperor, who was sitting next to the queen mother, said: "Aunt, I have already understood this matter. The girl from Cheng Qing's family beat Ming'er, which is naturally due to their family's faulty upbringing. But Ming'er To be knocked down by a little girl shows that I am lacking in strength in daily life."

Zheng Ming, who was lying on the board, couldn't bear this comment and wanted to get up. As soon as he exerted his strength, he thought that he was in front of the emperor, so he gritted his teeth and sat up with his arms.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that little girl's hands are too strong, and she even killed the beast king that I raised with such difficulty." Zheng Ming said aggrievedly.

Emperor Xining frowned: "What beast king?"

The eldest princess had noticed something was wrong, and her grandson was still saying: "The King of Beasts is a dog I raised, as big as a calf."

The Queen then interjected: "Young Master Zheng, no matter what kind of king this is, it is not something you can call him at home."

Except for the fact that the emperor's family can arbitrarily grant titles to this king or that, a royal family member is better to avoid suspicion in this regard.

Thinking of this, the eldest princess turned pale and hurriedly knelt down to apologize.

Emperor Xining said: "Auntie, please get up. The queen just said it casually."

The eldest princess was trembling, and was helped by a palace maid to stand still.After that, he didn't dare to talk about asking the Cheng family girl to kneel down and apologize. After a few gossips, she left with her grandson.

When she came out of the palace gate, the eldest princess looked back, full of sadness.

When her father was still alive, she and the Zheng family were the most prosperous. Even after leaving the house, this magnificent palace, which gathered all the treasures from the world, was still her home.How could I have thought that I would have to endure this humiliation even though I was very old?
Does the fifth brother simply dislike her as the eldest sister, or does he know the role that he and his husband played in his ascension to the throne?
Zheng Ming sat up with his head hanging down, and when he was carried into the carriage by his servants, he sat up and complained: "Grandma, we shouldn't have entered the palace."

Originally it was only one or two points of shame, but now it is five or six points.

Looking at her grandson, the eldest princess felt sad in her heart.

"Whether it's embarrassing or not depends on whether you care."

The fifth brother is not young anymore. Could the next emperor still be so unhappy with her and the Zheng family?

In the palace, in the imperial garden, the queen respectfully waited for a moment and followed Emperor Xining, saying, "Your Majesty, don't you need any admonishment for the Cheng family? My aunt is right. After all, she also has some royal status. face."

Emperor Xining thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. On the first day of June, at the banquet of hundreds of officials, you and the family members of the Cheng family will also present a royal gold plate and just give you a few words of admonishment."

The queen responded softly, but she thought of what she heard from the officials and family members mentioned when she summoned them a few days ago, that the daughters of the Cheng family were beautiful and fragrant.

The emperor has been particularly fond of young and beautiful women in the past two years. Did he hear the rumor and want to meet her and take her in?
At this time, there was a sound of laughter from the front, the queen looked up, and saw a few little concubines in light gauze gowns fluttering with butterflies.

She quickly lowered her eyelashes and slowed down her pace.

"You go back first," the emperor's voice sounded from the front.

The queen smiled sarcastically and saluted, "I have something to do in the palace, so I'm leaving."

----

As night fell, Xin Nuo left Mrs. Cheng's Songhe Courtyard after a round of training, holding a glass bowl in her hand. Although she was in a good mood.

Ten steps down the corridor, there is a big red lantern, which is brightly illuminated.

As soon as Xinnuo turned a corner, Cheng Xueyao came with a round fan in her hand, followed by two maids, who were very elegant.

Seeing Xinnuo, she smiled sincerely: "Sister, I heard that grandma had a big fire. Are you okay?"

"It's okay," Xinnuo said with a smile, "Although I listened to the training, I also got a good gift."

"Hey, a broken glass bottle is also used as a treasure." Such a contemptuous laugh came from Cheng Xueyao.

Glass bottle?
Xinnuo didn't feel unfamiliar, but this glass bottle would emit seven colors of light under the sun, so any glass bottle would certainly not have this effect.

Cheng Xueyao ignored the voice, stepped forward, and held Xinnuo's hand affectionately: "My sister has also been back for a few days, and Qian'er and the others are in the Imperial College all day, and they don't have a chance to get along with you. I want to invite you to Xicheng Luming Lake tomorrow."

The more she didn't show anything, the more Xinnuo knew she was ready to unleash her ultimate move.

After pretending to hesitate and think for a while, Xinnuo gave an ambiguous answer: "Let me see if I'm free."

Cheng Xueyao smiled and said: "Qian'er is ready. Tomorrow afternoon, if sister is free, ask Jingsi to come and talk."

Xin Nuo had already walked over without responding.

Cheng Xueyao bit her lower lip and quickly turned the gold-threaded fan in her hand with her slender fingers.

This golden thread round fan was given to her by a relative of the Cheng family when Yuan Chen was a child. Several sisters in the family were so envious that their eyes turned red with envy.

Why didn't she seem to see it?
