Concubine Wan rubbed her tired brows, she was really as stupid as a pig. Concubine Hui, a petty bitch, really couldn't give birth to a noble phoenix girl. Princess Jiarong has been raised to have such a narrow vision, all of this is Concubine Hui's contribution. She sighed and said very sadly, "I am your father's concubine. If you call me Empress Wan on weekdays, then I am equivalent to your mother-in-law. Since your mother-in-law does not discipline you, , then I can only step in and teach my daughter for her."

"Jiarong, I really didn't expect that you would develop such an arrogant and domineering temperament. The King of Banquet wants to punish you, and you will be punished because knowing your mistakes can make a lot of improvements. Who would have thought that you are stubborn and stubborn, I didn't realize my mistake at all..." "Hey, you really let me down..." Concubine Wan said, covering her heart, her face turned pale, and she looked like she was very angry. The emperor was startled. He never expected that Wan'er would actually hit Princess Jiarong. In the past few days, seeing how much Wan'er doted on Jiarong, he thought she was reluctant to hit Jiarong. However, when he thought of Wan'er and Rui'er, Du Dayi exterminated his relatives, deported him, and exiled him to Jinzhou. He didn't find anything strange anymore. His Wan'er had always been so clear-cut about public and private affairs, and she was upright. The emperor was afraid that Concubine Wan would be so angry that he put his arm around her shoulders. , advised softly: "Don't be angry. This is such a big deal. It's not worth it to ruin your body because of this trivial matter. Do you understand?"

Concubine Wan's eyes were red. She bit her lip and looked at the emperor with some helplessness: "Your Majesty, Jiarong is still young. It must be that no one taught her how to respect her elders in the past. Seeing her like this, I am really sad. It's very sad..." The emperor looked at Jiarong coldly. "Jiarong, do you know you are wrong?"

Princess Jiarong was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a thud. She cried so hard that she couldn't breathe. "Father, Empress Wan, please calm down. Please don't be angry. My dear minister." I know I was wrong...I will never dare to do it again."

The emperor supported Concubine Wan and went to the first place to sit down. In fact, he wanted to say that this matter was no big deal. After all, Jiarong was his daughter and the princess of Nanchu. What would happen if she was more domineering? No matter how loyal the general's palace was, , they are just ministers who protect the country for their Xiao family. Isn't it natural for ministers to salute the royal family? The emperor didn't feel at all that Jiarong had gone too far... He waved his hand lightly, wanting to Let Jiarong stand up, hoping that this matter would be reduced to a trivial matter. Unexpectedly, Concubine Wan's sharp eyes suddenly saw something in Xiao Tingyan's hand. Concubine Wan's heart jumped suddenly. That thing was The military talisman was a military talisman that could mobilize hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the North. She was a little excited. If she could get the military talisman from King Yan for the emperor, King Yan would no longer have the ability to compete with them. When the time comes, they would pack up King Yan. Come on, there is no need to worry about the 100,000 troops in the North. The emperor can find any reason to convict King Yan. For the current plan, they must not attack King Yan at this juncture and let him have trouble. Any vigilance. The most important thing for them to do now is not to attack, but to show kindness. Not only King Yan, but also Yun Luan and the General's Mansion cannot treat them badly. Concubine Wan's mind turned a few times. If you can't bear it, you will mess up your plan. You can only let Jiarong suffer tonight. Concubine Wan looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes. "Your Majesty, Princess Jiarong was raised by Concubine Hui, and she is a little arrogant and domineering. Although I I love her very much, but I cannot encourage her to continue to make mistakes. If she makes a mistake, she will be punished. She cannot oppress and humiliate loyal ministers and generals at will just because she is a princess."

"If we choose to protect her and condone her, if the people know about it, they will definitely accuse His Majesty of protecting his shortcomings and being stupid."

The emperor was startled, and he asked with some uncertainty: "You mean, you want me to severely punish Jiarong? This is just a small matter, why bother to mobilize so many troops?"

No matter how arrogant and domineering Jiarong is, she is still his biological daughter. Why can’t she, a majestic princess of a country, accept the kneeling of the general’s wife? Wan’er has already slapped Jiarong, isn’t that enough? Besides, Xiao Tingyan and Yun Luan have recently , a little too arrogant. He just heard some news yesterday, saying that the three assassinations against Rui'er seemed to be related to Xiao Tingyan Yun Luan. Since there was no conclusive evidence, the emperor could not prosecute them. However, even if he could not identify them He had to find an opportunity to put pressure on them and suppress them. He was afraid that if he didn't suppress them, they would become more and more unscrupulous. He almost planned to use Jiarong's incident to give King Yan a warning. Who Knowing that, Wan'er suddenly changed her mind. Concubine Wan held the emperor's hand tightly and winked at him. She lowered her voice and said: "Your Majesty, given the current situation, we still shouldn't make a fuss about this matter today... Rong Yuan did something wrong, and we are at fault. We must punish her to silence everyone."

The emperor was a little annoyed: "I am the king of a country, why should I tolerate them?"

Concubine Wan's eyes were red and she looked at him pitifully: "Your Majesty, in order for Rui'er to return to Beijing as soon as possible, we have to do this."

The emperor looked at the sparkling tears in her eyes and had to endure the anger in his heart... He calmed down for a while before regaining his previous calmness. He turned to look at Princess Jiarong: "Go and kneel down to the general's wife. Apologize, if she doesn't forgive you, don't get up tonight."

Princess Jiarong thought that she was slapped and that was the end of the matter. But she never expected that her father would actually ask her to kneel down and apologize to the general's wife. She is a princess of a country. She If she knelt in front of Mrs. Liu today, wouldn't her princess' face be completely trampled on? How could she raise her head in front of everyone after this? Princess Jiarong choked with sobs and cried: "Father... ...It's just a courtesy. No matter how the general's wife is a first-class imperial wife, she is also under my son. It is natural for her to kneel down and salute to my son. What is my son's fault?"

The emperor was angry. He felt that this Jiarong was particularly ignorant of praise. He coldly raised his eyes and said word by word: "I will give you two ways. First, you can kneel down and apologize to the general's wife for this matter. Even if it's over. Secondly, I will put you under house arrest in this princess's mansion again, and you will never even think of taking a step out of here."

Princess Jiarong was frightened. How could she dare to disobey the emperor again? She hurriedly cried and kowtowed: "Father, please calm down. I will do as you say. Don't put me under house arrest anymore."

She had been imprisoned for so many years, and she had long been afraid. She didn't want to live in darkness and no future. She was finally pardoned, and she finally enjoyed the glory and wealth, so she didn't want to go back to the past. Jia While crying, Princess Rong crawled on her knees to Mrs. Liu. She grabbed Mrs. Liu's dress tightly, with tears streaming down her face, and kept kowtowing to apologize. "Madam, please forgive me for my ignorance. Please forgive me." My recklessness and rudeness... I will never dare to offend you again. Today, it is all my fault. Please forgive me."

Mrs. Liu thought that Luan'er had offended Princess Jiarong, and they would be the unlucky ones tonight. She never expected that things would turn around again and again. In the end, instead of blaming them, the emperor actually asked Princess Jiarong to do something to her. She knelt down and apologized. To be honest, this change made her feel very happy. After today, no one in the court or among the people would dare to provoke or insult the general's mansion. The biggest contributor to killing the chicken to scare the monkeys is the King of Banquet! Mrs. Liu's impression of the King of Banquet has become a little better. She did not deliberately put on airs to embarrass Princess Jiarong. After all, she is a princess, and the emperor is still watching her. Naturally, she would not deliberately provoke the royal authority stupidly. Mrs. Liu quickly stood up in fear and helped Princess Jiarong herself. "Oh, princess, don't be like this, you have really embarrassed my wife. I am a minister, so why not?" The princess salutes you, this is what you should do."

Princess Jiarong tugged at the corners of her stiff lips, looking a little timid. How could she dare to speak arrogantly to Mrs. Liu again. "Will the general's wife be willing to forgive me for my previous reckless behavior?"

Mrs. Liu smiled and replied: "I didn't blame the princess at all..." Princess Jiarong breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the emperor and Concubine Wan. The emperor turned to look at Xiao Tingyan who was sitting not far away. He tried his best to His face became extremely gentle: "Ting Yan, Jiarong, this little girl is young and not very sensible. As the emperor's uncle and an elder, you'd better stop arguing with her."

"Since she knelt down and apologized to the general's wife, you see, this matter is over like this, okay? No matter what happens tonight, it is Jiarong's birthday banquet, so why don't you give me some face?"

Xiao Tingyan carelessly put the military talisman he was caressing into his arms. Then he raised his eyes and looked at the emperor. "Brother, in this case, I will not care about Jiarong for your sake." I hope this kind of thing won’t happen again.”

Jiarong was really scared and quickly replied timidly: "There won't be a next time. I...I won't dare to do it again."

Everything that had just happened almost cost her her life. How could she have the courage to go to the General's Mansion to cause trouble? Xiao Tingyan curled her lips and smiled. When he smiled, the emperor also laughed, and everyone raised their glasses. The atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became lively. The dancers and musicians entered the palace and began to perform... The atmosphere of the banquet gradually became lively. Concubine Wan waved to Princess Jiarong and asked her to come over. Princess Jiarong was a little agitated at this moment Afraid of Concubine Wan, she hesitated for a long time and walked carefully to Concubine Wan. Concubine Wan looked at her fearful eyes, and she sighed helplessly. She told the emperor to change clothes, and pulled Jiarong out of the banquet. After going to a private room in the side hall, Concubine Wan asked a servant to wait on Princess Jiarong to bathe and change clothes, and then tidy up again. Princess Jiarong followed her instructions one by one, not daring to disobey Concubine Wan in the slightest. She washed, changed clothes, and dressed up. After everything was sorted out, Concubine Wan held Princess Jiarong's hand again, with guilt in her eyes, and whispered: "Jiarong, I just slapped you, are you in special pain?"

As she spoke, she gently stroked Princess Jiarong's cheek. Princess Jiarong couldn't help but hide back. Concubine Wan was startled, and she couldn't help but frown slightly: "Are you complaining about me?"

Princess Jiarong's face turned pale. She lowered her eyes and shook her head timidly. "No, no..." Concubine Wan took off an jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Princess Jiarong's hand. " This bracelet was given to me by your father when I first became a favor. Over the years, I have been wearing it every step of the way. Now, I have given this bracelet to you as a slap in the face. Apology ceremony.”

"Jiarong, I really like you and love you. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't beat you or teach you a lesson. You blatantly provoked the General's Mansion. Don’t you know that you have aroused public outrage?”

"If I hadn't slapped you, I'm afraid your fate would have been even more tragic. Originally, your father said that he would beat you with a stick or put you under house arrest. Think about it for yourself, compared with a stick and house arrest. , what does it mean if I slap you?"

Princess Jiarong was startled. She slowly raised her head and looked at Concubine Wan with some surprise. "Concubine Wan... you... you just slapped me to save me?"

Concubine Wan's eyes flashed and she nodded slowly. "That's for sure. Can't you feel the aggressive and unwilling-to-give-up momentum of King Yan? If it hadn't been for that slap, he wouldn't have said it so easily. Understand."

"Silly girl, I treat you like my own child. Everything I do is for your own good. When I hit you, it hurts in my heart."

She gently stroked Princess Jiarong's slightly red cheek: "Does it hurt? I just deliberately held back my strength just now..." Princess Jiarong was full of grievances and sadness. At this moment, she couldn't hold it back anymore. . She held back her mouth, threw herself into Concubine Wan's arms, and began to cry loudly. "Concubine Wan, I thought you didn't like me anymore. That slap you gave me made me feel so painful in my heart. "I really treat you as my biological mother..." "I also treat you as my biological daughter. Don't cry, I feel very sorry for you when you cry. Don't worry, the grievances you have suffered today are not for me." The palace will definitely find a way to get it back for you."

Concubine Wan gently patted her back and coaxed her softly. Princess Jiarong was ecstatic and extremely excited. She thought that Concubine Wan didn't like her and was going to give up on her. Unexpectedly, Concubine Wan said that All of this was done to save her. She was so stupid that she misunderstood Concubine Wan and mistook her good intentions for evil. "Concubine Wan, from now on, you are my biological mother."

There was a bit of ridicule in Concubine Wan's eyes. She was not like this. She would easily abandon her biological mother's vain daughter for the sake of glory and wealth. - After three rounds of drinking and the song and dance performance was almost coming to an end, Concubine Wan led Jiarong, who had a new look. Princess, returned to the banquet. Everyone congratulated Princess Jiarong. Princess Jiarong was very decent, holding up the cup and thanking the guests. Then she sat in front of the guqin and played a song for the guests. This The song was full of charm and wonderful. Many people applauded and praised it. Princess Jiarong gradually regained some confidence, straightened her back, and listened proudly to the flattery of those people. It seemed that the unpleasantness just now had long since It disappeared without a trace. Princess Jiarong still held the wine glass and walked in front of Yun Luan with a respectful attitude. "Auntie Huang, the unpleasantness that just happened is all in this glass of wine. Jiarong respects you..." After she said that, she drank it in one gulp without waiting for Yun Luan's reaction. Everyone's eyes turned to this place. Many people praised Princess Jiarong for being so open and forthright, and worthy of being the princess of the Southern Prefecture. Princess Jiarong calmly accepted the news. In praise, she showed the empty cup to Yun Luan. Then, she took a glass of wine and handed it to Yun Luan. "I wonder if Auntie Huang can forgive me for my reckless behavior?"

"If Auntie Huang is willing to forgive me, then drink the glass of wine in front of you... we will shake hands and make peace."

Yun Luan raised her eyebrows, and looked at Princess Jiarong with a smile on her lips. "Actually, princess, there is no need to toast me and apologize. You just knelt down to my mother, and she has already forgiven you. I thought this The matter has passed, but unexpectedly, the princess brought up the old matter again. Princess, what do you mean?"

Princess Jiarong's eyes were obviously red. She bit her lip and said in a choked voice: "I don't mean anything else. Although I knelt down and apologized to the general's wife, the matter between me and the emperor's aunt has not yet been resolved." It’s over, so I thought I would take this opportunity to toast you with a glass of wine and finally ask for your forgiveness.”

"Of course, if you don't want to forgive me, I won't force you. Just pretend I didn't say this."

She was a little flustered, put down the wine cup, turned around and left. She looked as if Yun Luan had bullied her. Everyone's eyes began to change when they looked at Yun Luan. Even the emperor and Concubine Wan, They all looked this way. Yun Luan couldn't help but sneer when she saw her pretentious look. Who would have thought that Princess Jiarong was actually a Bai Lian who could pretend to be pitiful? She really underestimated her. Yun Luan couldn't help but sneer. Luan called Princess Jiarong and drank the glass of wine without saying a word. Xiao Tingyan sat next to him and frowned. Yun Luan showed the empty glass to Princess Jiarong. "Princess's apology, I accepted it. Let’s just forget it between us. I hope the princess will stop holding on to this matter and pretending to be pitiful in front of everyone. For those who don’t know, I thought it was me, Yun Luan, who bullied you, a majestic princess of the country. "

Princess Jiarong's expression changed. She twitched her stiff lips: "It seems that the county master misunderstood me quite a bit... I didn't pretend to be pitiful just now..." Yun Luan said with a meaningful smile: "Yes. , you didn't pretend to be pitiful just now, you just deliberately provoked me to drink this glass of wine. Now, after I drink this glass of wine, I have fulfilled the princess's wish."

Princess Jiarong's heart suddenly rose. Her eyes flickered, and she felt a little guilty and did not dare to look at Yun Luan: "I won't disturb you anymore. Take my leave."

She turned around and left. Xiao Tingyan looked at Princess Jiarong's hastily escaping back, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. "Why did she dare you to drink this glass of wine? Aluan, if you don't want to drink it, , no one can force you."

"Is there anything wrong with this drink?"
