After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

Whether it was Ling Jing who met by chance in the palace or Chu Yiling who stopped her carriage on the street, Chu Qinghuang had forgotten them all.

Back at the Princess Mansion, the four servants were still kneeling in the courtyard of Dongshang Pavilion. Chu Qinghuang stood in the corridor, looking at the four handsome figures, and was silent for a long time.

In addition to their outstanding appearance, these four people also seemed to have good physical strength. They had knelt for such a long time, but they did not show signs of fatigue.

From a distance, everyone looks relaxed.

Chu Qinghuang walked over and said calmly: "Have you thought of how to explain it to me?"

Hearing the sound, the four people turned their heads to look at each other, bowed their heads respectfully and saluted: "See you, Your Highness."

The etiquette is quite good.

Chu Qinghuang said calmly: "I am in a good mood tonight. I will give you one last chance. If there is still no explanation, you will no longer have a chance to speak until tomorrow morning."

Hong Yu blinked: "Your Highness, you mean that if we don't have a reasonable explanation, we will continue to kneel until tomorrow morning?"

"Do you still need to ask? That must be what you mean." Qi Ling glanced at him, "You are really stupid."

Hong Yu was dissatisfied: "You're not stupid, why haven't you come up with a reasonable explanation until now?"

Qi Ling was speechless for a moment: "Who says I don't have a reasonable explanation? I just want to experience the feeling of being punished by kneeling."

"You are sick." Hong Yu frowned and looked at Chu Qinghuang pitifully. His beautiful face looked particularly endearing, "Your Highness, my knees hurt from kneeling."

Chu Qinghuang said calmly: "Obviously it's not painful enough."

Hong Yu pouted: "It's all Zhang Zhongjin's fault."

"Why do you blame me? It's not like I asked you to wear these expensive materials." Zhong Zhongjin sneered, "You are so vain, and you dress up like a peacock with its wings spread, but you actually put the blame on me. It's simply ridiculous. "

Chu Qinghuang started to walk away.

"Your Highness, wait!" Hong Yu spoke quickly, seeking leniency for confessing, "Zhong Zhongjin is the owner of a silk and satin shop. He gave us all our clothes without asking for money."

Chu Qinghuang paused slightly and turned his head to look at the four people.

All four heads nodded in unison.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the villain's mother passed away early, leaving several shops for the villain to take care of." Zhong Zhongjin explained, his tone sounded particularly sincere, "The villain has a silk and satin shop in his hands, with all kinds of fabrics in the shop. We have them all, but some of the particularly expensive materials are relatively small. His Highness has a distinguished status. Although we are just His Highness's servants, we don't dare to dress too shabbily for fear of losing His Highness's face, so..."

"Afraid of losing the face of this palace?" Chu Qinghuang raised her lips, "So you all dress up as if you are entering the palace for a talent show?"

Zhong Zhongjin coughed lightly: "After all, you are serving the king, so you still have to fight for favor."

Chu Qinghuang believed him.

Zhongzhong Jin is the concubine of the Shen family. His father is Shen Yan, the imperial censor of the dynasty. It is said that he is upright and hates evil. When Chu Qinghuang kidnapped Shen Zhongjin to serve as the emperor's servant, this censor Shen made seven or eight mistakes. , impeaching the seventh princess for her disobedient and lawless behavior.

It's a pity that Chu Qinghuang at that time had a bad temper. The more he impeached, the more arrogant Chu Qinghuang became. After taking Zhongjin over, he would rather leave him in the backyard to fend for himself than let him go free.

The emperor protected his daughter, and Shen Yushi could not do anything about it. Later, when he saw that there was nothing he could do with her, he slowly calmed down.

Chu Qinghuang thought about it for a moment and felt that Shen Yushi was a pretty good official. Zhong Yun, the eldest son of the Shen family, was calm and talented. He was different from a playboy like Wen Li. He wasn't too narrow-minded. He didn't seem to have any feelings for this younger brother. Treat harshly.

As for Zhong Jin's deceased biological mother, she was just a concubine of Shen Yushi, so naturally Chu Qinghuang had no interest in knowing about her.

But no matter what, she was given an explanation in the end - even if this explanation sounded like it took four people's brains to come up with it.

Chu Qinghuang was extremely gracious and allowed them to get up and rest.

"On April 18th, someone held a Qushui Shui Shang Poetry Party in the suburbs. Wen Zhan went with me."

Wen Zhan nodded: "Yes."

On the day of Wen Xingyun's birthday, Her Royal Highness the Princess's protection of Wen Zhan was obvious to all. These two days were the time when the new favorite was in the spotlight. At least he should behave like this in front of outsiders, lest people think that he, the bastard of the Wen family, fell out of favor just after he was favored.

"Your Highness, I want to go too." Hong Yu spoke expectantly, "I heard that there are many talented people and beauties at the Quliu River Poetry Party. The men are handsome and the women are beautiful. I want to see them."

Chu Qinghuang looked at him expressionlessly and walked away.

Hong Yu frowned, did His Highness agree or not?

The four of them were finally able to get up. Although their physical fitness was relatively good and they were not unable to hold on, they were still mortal bodies. Their knees hurt from kneeling for so long, and their movements were a bit sluggish when they stood up.

Rubbing his knees carefully, Hong Yu's eyebrows knitted together in pain: "Your Highness doesn't know how to show mercy at all."

"Love the fragrance and cherish the jade?" Qi Ling glanced at him, "What stupid things are you talking about in broad daylight?"

The main reason for the eldest princess is to be compassionate and cherish the jade. The princess's mansion is probably going to be overcrowded.

"It's already dark," Kureha retorted.

"It's dark and it's not bedtime yet, so it's still early to dream." Qi Ling said, "Don't always talk unrealistically in your sleep."

"You still have to have dreams, maybe they will come true someday." Hongyu sneered, "When I get the favor of His Highness, just stop clinging to me."

Wen Zhan sighed: "I wish you all the best soon."

He turned and left.

"Hongyu, you can do it." Shen Zhongjin patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "I believe in you."

Qi Ling looked at Hongyu silently and said earnestly: "Hongyu--"

"I know what you are going to say." Hongyu interrupted him, "A man is determined to win favor, don't worry, I will not give up until I reach the Yellow River, and I will definitely win the favor of His Highness in this life."

Qi Ling: "..." His heart is admirable.

"Qi Ling, are you going to the Qushui Liushang poetry meeting?" Hongyu frowned and thought for a while, "I really want to go."

It is said that many noble sons and daughters of Xiqi families are particularly fond of these activities. There will be many people participating in the poetry meeting on the day, and it will be very lively, and as long as his highness is there, there will be good shows to watch.

Hong Yu thought of the people who had been disciplined by Chu Qinghuang recently, and the young master of the family who was afraid of Chu Qinghuang, and couldn't help but feel a little restless.

"His Highness has already said that Wen Zhan will accompany her." Qi Ling said calmly, "You just stay in the mansion and guard the empty room."
