"Thank you, the emperor." Xianpin thanked him, but did not stand up, but kowtowed to Emperor Chengde and said humbly: "Your Majesty, I am here to apologize to the emperor this time."

Emperor Cheng De raised his eyebrows and looked at her without responding.

Although Xianpin lowered her head, she could clearly feel Emperor Chengde's cold eyes falling on her, full of pressure. Xianpin's heart became tight and knew that the emperor was angry because of rumors outside.

"Pan'er was young and suddenly suffered from this incident. He was so unruly that he was speechless last night. I hope the emperor would forgive Pan'er. Although it was an accident that fell into the water last night, Ji Chong saved her righteously. Although the starting point was good, the two of them had a skin-loving relationship, so they decided to marry Pan'er to Ji Chong to preserve Pan'er's reputation. Pan'er did not understand the emperor's compassion for a while, and I could not persuade her better. So somehow, rumors that I wanted to marry Pan'er to Ji Chuan because I looked down on Ji Chong, which made the emperor upset. It was not me."

Emperor Chengde looked at Xianpin for a moment, and after a while, he asked, "Is it really not you and the Marquis of Pingliang who forced the second wife of the Ji family?"

He hid in Jingren Palace last night, but didn't want to hear any cry from Xianpin. Although he was not sure if Xianpin had this idea last night, he would definitely not be willing to let his daughter marry Ji Chong.

The concubine was choked, feeling both wronged and angry. The emperor clearly said that she didn't believe in herself.

"The emperor clearly understands that I have no intention of this. Now rumors are everywhere, and my words slander me and Pan'er. It doesn't matter if I suffer a little grievance. But if this continues, it will be very unfavorable to the royal family's reputation. Therefore, I beg the emperor to issue an order as soon as possible to marry Pan'er and Ji Chong. If the order is given, the rumors will be broken."

After Xianpin said this, his heart felt as if someone was slapped in the pain, and he was bleeding.

But she had to consolidate the overall situation. Even if she ignored her adopted son, she had to consider the decline, prosperity, honor and disgrace of the Ji family behind her.

Waiting, when Shi'an ascends the throne, she will pay the price for Chu Qingyun to cause her daughter to marry into the fire pit.

"Ah, Ah..." Chu Qingyun, who was sticking to Chen Rujin, suddenly sneezed several times.

He rubbed his itchy nose and thought to himself that Lao Ba had killed him.

Needless to say, I must have been missed by Xianpin and Ji family now!

Emperor Chengde glanced at Hu Qian and said, "If you don't have the eyesight, you won't serve tea to Xianpin."

Hu Qian slapped his forehead in annoyance and claimed the crime: "I deserve to die. I've just been distracted. I'm sorry, I'll help you up."

But there was a wronged villain in my heart hitting the ground angrily.

It’s the slaughter of the servant again. You’re so bullying.

The concubine smiled slightly, and she was a very charming beauty, and this smile had a gentle and quiet temperament.

"Eunuch Hu is so serious."

As he said that, Hu Qian stood up with his hands, looked at Emperor Chengde with gentle eyes, and said, "I have disturbed the emperor for a long time and I will leave first."

Emperor Cheng De nodded: "Go back and enlighten Pan'er."

"Yes." Xianpin responded respectfully.

Hu Qian came out of the inner room with a tray and saw the back of Xianpin disappearing at the entrance of the palace.

"Emperor, the concubine Xian is gone, so this tea?"

Emperor Chengde's eyes were slightly narrowed, as if they were covered with a layer of shadow that was invisible.

"Let's leave it and grind it for me."

“Wait.”

...

In Changchun Palace, Chu Paner lay on the table in a depressed manner. I don’t know if he had cried all night or had just finished crying, but his eyes were swollen like walnuts.

"My concubine Jin An."

At the door, the palace maids' invitation sounded.

Upon hearing this, Chu Pan'er immediately stood up, carried the hem of her skirt and walked out the door.

"Mother's wife."

The moment he saw Xianpin, his aggrieved eyes suddenly burst into pieces like a flood.

Xianpin felt very distressed, and her chest was thrust. She sighed softly, pulled Chu Pan'er to the bedroom, and then ordered: "You all retreat."

The palace maids bowed and bowed one after another.

Chu Pan'er knew that Xianpin had something to say to her, so she looked at Xianpin with hope with her red and swollen eyes.

"Mother, have you told your father? Can I not marry Ji Chong?"

Xianpin pulled Chu Pan'er to sit down, his eyes were gentle and forbearing and angry, saying, "I have asked the emperor to issue an order to marry you to Ji Chong and choose an auspicious day to get married."

Chu Paner was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly jumped up from the stool. He looked at Xianpin in disbelief and shouted in a blazing flame: "Mother, are you crazy? I am your dear daughter. You are actually going to push me into the fire pit."

Xianpin looked at her crazy-looking daughter and felt distressed: "Pan'er, listen to your mother."

Chu Pan'er covered her ears and shook her head wildly: "I don't listen, I don't listen, I hate you, I hate you..."

She glared at Xianpin with resentment and reluctance, turned around and ran away.

Xianpin looked at her daughter's hatred eyes, her face turned pale in an instant, and her nails trembled slightly.

Jinghua walked into the room anxiously and saw Xianpin sitting there in dismay, as if she was exhausted.

"Empress, don't take it to your heart. The Ninth Princess is just unacceptable for a moment. After the princess figures it out, she will understand the Empress's painstaking efforts."

Xianpin bit her lip and suddenly closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, a bitter frost suddenly surged in her eyes.

The next day.

Hu Qian's apprentice Xiao Liangzi came to Ji Mansion with the emperor's imperial edict.

The three-bedroom family of Ji's family was born in a vassal family, so the family property they were assigned was limited. Even if Ji Benyang was unwilling to do so, he would not dare to make trouble with his elder brother, otherwise he would be afraid that he would not get a penny. The Marquis of Pingliang did not prepare a mansion for him, so he could only set up a house in a remote place.

Ji Chong came back that night and mentioned to his parents that the emperor wanted to betroth the Ninth Princess to him. Ji Benyang and He were overjoyed and were so excited that they didn't fall asleep all night. However, when they woke up early in the morning, they heard that it was said that the Ninth Princess and Ji Chuan had been engaged in a marriage contract. His son saved the Ninth Princess only because of the pure relationship between cousins. Ji Chuan was not concerned about the rumors outside that would firmly marry the Ninth Princess.

Is this so great?

The Ninth Princess is clearly his daughter-in-law.

Xianpin and Pingliang Hou clearly looked down on their three-person houses.

Ji Benyang was so angry that he wanted to go to Pingliang Hou to argue, but he was afraid that he would not be able to come to the house, so he could only hide at home with He and scold the Pingliang Hou's Mansion and the second house of the Ji family.

Ji Chong was unwilling to accept it and secretly found a beggar to add fuel to the rumors outside. In short, how could he slander Ji Chuan?

But they only dared to make small moves and did not dare to show off at all.

I thought the marriage was abandoned.

I never thought it was bright and bright.

"Oh, Grandpa Liang, I'll be lucky to know, please come in, please come in." Ji Benyang was in a bad mood and took leave at home. The moment he saw Xiao Liangzi, he immediately smiled flatteringly.
