Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 323
Cai Jiuniang was also very disturbed, hesitating and unable to move.

Suddenly, another little maid came running forward, "My concubine asked all the ladies to come over to see the ceremony."

When the little ladies heard this, they were dumbfounded. They had expected Cai Jiuniang to make a fool of themselves, but now that everyone appeared in front of the princess in such a state of embarrassment, wouldn't they all be making a fool of themselves?

But in my heart, I am very curious about how noble the legendary Princess of Destiny looks like?
Those little ladies who hadn't torn too much just now hurriedly straightened their clothes, eager to walk ahead.

The little lady who was a little messy followed with her head down.

Everyone came forward with their heads down, squatted down and saluted: "I have seen Princess Qi, and the princess is well."

"The little ladies of the Cai family are really beautiful." Shen Xinniang said slowly.

Hearing this sound, it is like a clear spring hitting a stone, like a pearl falling on a jade plate, it is crisp and crisp, clear and pleasant to the ear.Although all the young ladies lowered their heads, their first impression of Princess Qi was very good.

"You don't need to be formal, Prime Minister Cai is elegant and kind, and he is loyal to the court and society. The young lady of the Cai family is even more unyielding. In such a cold weather, she doesn't forget to practice martial arts." Shen Xinniang said slowly, "Caotang Academy Encourage the students not to only know how to study, not to be talented in both civil and military affairs, but at least to know how to fight, and to keep fit is also good, if the young women are not daughters, they may be the talents that Cottage Academy is looking for."

Shen Xinniang tore up the jealousy in their boudoir, understated it as a competition of martial arts, and praised them as women who are not inferior to men, no doubt taking into account Madam Cai's face, and also made the little ladies with their heads down feel less embarrassed Embarrassed, the impression of this Princess Qi became even better.

Mrs. Cai thanked Princess Qi for her praise with a smile, turned her face, and said to all the young ladies as calmly as possible: "Why don't you salute and leave quickly? What are you doing here?"

All the young ladies were full of regrets, when they squatted down and didn't want to leave, they suddenly heard that pleasant voice came to their ears again, "Why don't you see Jiu Niangzi?"

Cai Jiuniang thumped in her heart.When I got along with Mrs. Shen before, I thought she was just a concubine of Prince Qi's mansion, and I was so eager to please myself because I would definitely become the official concubine of King Qi, so I was so arrogant in front of her.She couldn't be looking for an opportunity to get [-]% back now, to embarrass her in front of her family and sisters, right?

Her scalp was stiff, and she moved her steps to slip away.But the sisters standing in front of her were very uncooperative, turned around one after another, looked at her with piercing eyes, and each took a step back, and put her in front of Dabai and Princess Qi who were hiding behind everyone.

She only felt that Princess Qi, who was surrounded by stars and the moon, was so graceful and luxurious that she couldn't look directly at her, she seemed to be stepping closer to her, her heart was beating faster and faster, but she heard the voice above her head saying slowly : "Jiu Niangzi's cardamom years are really in full bloom. I haven't seen you for a long time, but she is as bright as before."

Princess Qi's voice was flat, without any hint of sarcasm, as if she was speaking of a fact that she took for granted.

Cai Jiuniang frowned, why does this sound like a compliment to her?Doesn't it sound like belittling her?

"The concubine is really flattering her! A child from a family, how can there be any demeanor!" Mrs. Cai said quickly, "Jiu Niang, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you thank the concubine quickly?"

When Cai Jiuniang was reminded by her mother, she came to her senses and hurriedly knelt down to salute, "Xie Wangfei's ridiculous praise, Jiuniang really dare not be that."

Princess Qi seemed to chuckle lightly, and said with a smile to Mrs. Cai: "All the daughters of the Cai family are liked by others, I am afraid that the threshold of the Cai family will be broken through?"

"Where is it, I am very naughty all day long." Mrs. Cai said in harmony.

A group of people left slowly following the steps of the princess.

A group of young ladies were reminded by the maid beside Mrs. Cai that they should not follow her anymore.The little ladies all squatted down to salute and send them off, and when the person walked away, the little ladies raised their heads curiously, and looked at the woman who was surrounded by middle-aged people and walked in the front.

The woman is tall and tall, even though her clothes are loose in winter and she wears a cape, she doesn't look bloated at all.Surrounded by the red flying emerald dancers, she is still so eye-catching as standing out from the crowd, with extraordinary temperament, like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world by mistake, making people feel abrupt directly, but can't look away obsessively.

Only when people had walked out of the plum garden and could not be seen from a distance did someone let out a long breath, "As expected, she is Princess Tianming, she deserves her reputation!"

Cai Jiuniang nodded subconsciously, "Yes." Looking sideways, she realized that it was Eleven Niang who said this, and she snorted again.

Eleven Niang, however, seemed to have completely forgotten the previous unhappiness between the two of them, and the entanglement that the sisters couldn't pull apart. She stepped forward with a smile and said, "Sister Nine, does the princess really know Sister Nine? She even praised her." Where is Ninth Sister!"

"Didn't the concubine praise us all!" Ba Niang said in a rather sour tone from the side.

"How can it be the same, Jiu Niang was mentioned by the princess and praised alone! This shows that the ninth sister still has so much weight in the princess's heart! I was disrespectful to the nine sisters earlier, so I must not take it to heart!" The little ladies also came forward and said very politely.

Cai Jiuniang, who was teased and laughed at by everyone, suddenly became the object of compliments and flattery.

"If Ninth Sister goes out again in the future, she must bring me with her..."

"Where did the ninth sister get the appreciation of the princess, and teach us?"

"Ninth Sister is both talented and beautiful, you can learn it? The Yingluo that Ninth Sister played last time is really beautiful, can you teach me?"

……

Cai Jiuniang turned her face sideways and looked far away in the direction the princess was leaving.People have already gone far away, and there is nothing to see in that direction except a large piece of plum blossoms in full bloom exuding their fragrance.

The princess' reaction when she saw her was completely beyond her expectations!The concubine's demeanor at this time and the thoughtfulness that saved them all made them feel more precious and benefited a lot than the large quantities of fabrics and piles of jewelry given to her before.

"Okay, you can learn whatever you want, but if I know it, I will never hide it." Cai Jiuniang looked back and said with a light smile.

There was a burst of cheers from the girls in the plum garden.

King Qi left from Prime Minister Cai's study, and took Shen Xiniang to leave the prime minister's mansion together.

On the carriage back, King Qi approached the soft spotted silk sac, raised his hand and gently touched the Jingming acupoint, and let out a breath of relief.

"How did the talk go?" Shen Xiniang raised her hand to bring him the hot tea on the low table, and asked slowly.

Fang Yan quickly sat up straight, took the tea bowl from her hand, and nodded, "Cai Xiang is stubborn, but fortunately he can still listen to other people's words. I told him about the relationship and analyzed the current situation. He I finally agree, and I won't hold Yu Miao any longer."

Shen Xinniang nodded, "That's really great."

Fang Yan hummed, "Cai Xianghui will persuade those ministers who are against pardoning Yu Miao. I will ask the Holy Father again in two days to let him fight General Gongsun again, so as to rescue him."

"Who is plotting all this behind the scenes, do you have any clues?" Shen Xiniang asked, "Or, do you have any doubts in your heart?"

Fang Yan shook his head, "Don't be afraid, the fox's tail can't be hidden, it will show up sooner or later."

As expected, Prime Minister Cai did not slip his words. Two days later, Cai and the King of Qi wrote a letter together, requesting the Holy Majesty to read about Yu Miao's redeeming behavior, and the co-conspirator Yu Tai is not the same kind, and please the Holy Majesty to give him a chance.Bring up the battle of the sand table again, if he can beat General Gongsun in the battle of the sand table, please allow him to continue to be loyal to the court and Daliang.

The little emperor's mentor was gone, and his uncle and Cai Xiang reached an agreement again, and Mrs. Shen also hoped that he could become a benevolent monarch, so she naturally agreed.

Yu Miao was taken out of the prison again, and in the palace, she and General Gongsun planned to fight in the sand table.

It was also during the sand table battle that the little emperor saw Shen Xinniang again.With red eyes, he stared blankly at Shen Xiniang, unlike usual, when he saw her, he immediately greeted her with a smile, and stayed by her side, Mrs. Shen was longer than Mrs. Shen.

Today's little emperor was rather cold after seeing Shen Xiniang, his mouth puffed up slightly, his pure eyes were full of accusations and dissatisfaction.

Shen Xinniang knelt down and saluted, "I have seen the Holy Majesty."

The little emperor who didn't ask her to salute on weekdays didn't ask her to get up today. He just stood in front of her and looked at her without saying a word.

Jin Xiang and Dan Xin, who followed the salute, couldn't help being a little worried. The child lost his temper, but it was inexplicable. Although the Holy One is ninety-five years old, he is still young and has a temper with his wife. What should I do if she can't coax her? ?There is still one in the lady's belly!

Shen Xinniang is unwavering, even though she is pregnant, she behaves in a steady manner.

"You! You did it on purpose, right?" The little emperor took two steps suddenly, came to Shen Xinniang, stared at her and said.

Shen Xinniang raised her head slightly, "What?"

The little emperor stretched out his hand and pulled her up, "Who made you unable to get up from squatting? Is it good? Are you not tired? If I don't talk about flattening, you won't get up, right? You purposely have a relationship with me! Mr. Lu doesn't want it!" I'm gone, Mrs. Shen doesn't like me anymore, you all stay away from me and make me a lonely family! Don't you?"

He questioned repeatedly, his voice choked up, Shen Xinniang raised her eyes to look at him, the little emperor who was usually a little adult was now full of fragility and grievance.

Shen Xinniang sighed softly, "No, Your Majesty, don't think too much about it. My concubine's failure to enter the palace recently is because of Mr. Lu's wish during his lifetime. I neglected His Majesty's mood, Your Majesty forgive me."

"What wish in life?" The little emperor pouted, with a look of distrust, "Miss Shen, don't prevaricate me!"

Shen Xinniang shook her head, "No, the Holy Majesty is sincere to my concubine, and I will not lie to my majesty, it is Mr. Lu's Caotang Academy. Mr. Lu is gone, but he definitely hopes that the Caotang Academy will continue to prosper and have sages forever. People with lofty ideals can stay in the Caotang Academy to teach more students. I also hope that the Caotang Academy can cultivate more useful talents for the leaders and the court. Therefore, I have been busy with the affairs of the Caotang Academy these days."

The little emperor nodded, "It turns out that Mrs. Shen is doing it for Mr. Lu, why didn't you tell me, I am willing to fulfill Mr. Lu's last wish!"

"It's not good for the Holy Majesty to come forward." Shen Xinniang said slowly, "The Cottage Academy has advocated since its establishment that it should not be directly related to the court, so as not to be controlled by people in the court. It is only a private school, and the Holy One has this heart, Mr. Lu It’s still comforting.”

The little emperor nodded when he heard the words, and raised his small face to look at Shen Xinniang with burning eyes, "Then you... have you thought about me these few days? Have you missed me?"
