Qin Zhen was sitting in front of the mirror, and Lou Shulan was standing behind her with a comb, concentrating on combing her hair into a bun.
Qin Zhen looked at her through the mirror, feeling full of disappointment.
After Lou Shulan tied her hair into a bun and added beads, Lou Shulan spoke and said, "Thank you."
Qin Zhen was stunned: "Thank you, thank you for what?"
"Those people before were scolding me, right?" Lou Shulan said lightly.
Qin Zhen pursed her lips and said nothing.
It turned out that she heard everything.
How uncomfortable must she feel?
Qin Zhen said: "Don't be sad, those people are..."
"I'm not sad," Lou Shulan smiled: "Over the years, I have heard uglier words than this. What do they think?"
Qin Zhen didn't know what to say for a moment, she just felt distressed.
"If we encounter these things again in the future, you don't have to stand up for me." Lou Shulan looked at Qin Zhen and said, "It's not worth fighting for me."
"Why isn't it worth it?" Qin Zhen said a little stubbornly: "If they dare to say bad things about you, I can't spare them."
"What are you doing?" Lou Shulan sighed and said helplessly.
Qin Zhen: "I just can't see them scolding you!"
After saying that, she took a step forward, tentatively took Lou Shulan's hand, and said softly: "Aunt, I'm sorry, you, do you still blame me?"
"I don't know what you have to do to forgive me," Qin Zhen lowered her head, her eyes a little red, and said slowly: "No matter why I did this, it is still my fault in this matter. I forced it.
Lou Yan's identity was exposed, otherwise you wouldn't..."
"Okay," Lou Shulan interrupted Qin Zhen and said softly: "You did nothing wrong."
Qin Zhen: "What?"
"It doesn't matter to me, but Ayan can't." Lou Shulan said: "I already know everything. Before that, he was already working for the prince. The prince is a ruthless and unrighteous person, so Ayan works for him, isn't it?
That’s a good thing. So, it’s also a good thing that you force him to reveal his identity.”
"Being the third prince is better than being a dog beside Xiao Jue, fighting for his life."
Lou Shulan looked at Qin Zhen and said softly: "Did you know? Ayan was enlightened at the age of two and literate at the age of three, and could recite poetry at the age of four. He is very smart and can learn anything no matter what. In his heart
, ambitious. It was me who dragged him down and made him work hard for so many years."
Speaking of Lou Yan, Lou Shulan had a bit of a smile on her face.
Qin Zhen looked at her and couldn't help but ask: "Is it because of him that you are breaking off the relationship with him now?"
"I can't be a drag on him," Lou Shulan said slowly, "He has already been criticized because of his background, and he can no longer be criticized because of my existence. Today, you heard it."
Qin Zhen was speechless.
Lou Shulan smiled and said: "Also, I entered the palace voluntarily, so you don't have to feel guilty about it. In fact, I have never forgotten Xiao Chengye... your majesty. Over the years, it's not that there are no other people who like me.
Me, but I just can’t let him go.”
Lou Shulan patted the back of Qin Zhen's hand and said, "What happened in the past is in the past. You don't have to blame yourself or feel guilty."
Qin Zhen didn't feel any better after hearing what she said.
After all, she and Lou Shulan couldn't get along like they did in the small bungalow.
"Go out, don't keep Your Majesty waiting." After Lou Shulan finished speaking, she turned and left.
Qin Zhen waited for her to go out and then followed her out.
As expected, Xiao Chengye was already waiting outside. When he saw Lou Shulan coming out, he rushed over to greet her, looking at Lou Shulan with doting eyes.
Qin Zhen watched from behind, thinking: Is this really what Lou Shulan wants?
After Xiao Chengye and others left, Qin Zhen looked back.
Lou Yan already stood beside her at some point.
"Thank you for standing up for my mother about what happened today." Lou Yan said solemnly.
Qin Zhen glanced at him and said calmly: "I'm not doing it for you."
After saying that, he stood up and left without looking at Lou Yan.
The lively flower viewing party ended unhappy in the end.
The name of Princess Anshun once again caused a wave of enthusiasm both inside and outside the court.
In the past, I only said that she was mysterious, but now I added some other adjectives.
It is said that Princess Anshun is arrogant and domineering, does not know etiquette and does not understand the rules, and is an uncivilized barbarian.
It is also said that she was as strong as an ox, and could beat seven or eight strong men to the point where they could not get up with one person.
Passed from word to word, in the end, Qin Zhen was shaped into an ugly barbarian with a strong back and a strong waist, as strong as an ox.
A flower viewing party made Princess Anshun famous all over the world.
But none of the words are good.
Regarding these rumors, Qin Zhen allowed them to develop without any refutation.
She didn't leave the house again after returning from the flower-viewing party. It took half a month before Qin Zhen left the house again.
She changed into a simple outfit, still walked out from the corner door, and blended into the crowd in an instant.
Later, she entered a restaurant and sat at a table in the corner of the lobby.
The waiter came over and greeted warmly: "What would you like to eat, sir?"
Qin Zhen said lightly: "What's there?"
"That's a lot!" The waiter stood at the table and started to tell the names of the dishes.
During this period, Qin Zhen lowered her voice and asked: "How is my father's side?"
The waiter's expression did not change, and he said quickly between the names of the dishes: "The emperor plans to replace all the imperial guards with our dragon guards."
Qin Zhen was startled and immediately frowned.
After the waiter announced the names of the dishes, he asked, "What would you like to eat, sir?"
Qin Zhen casually reported the names of two dishes, and the waiter responded, turned around and left.
Qin Zhen sat there with the words just mentioned in her mind.
The emperor actually wanted to replace all the forbidden troops in the palace with the Dragon Guard Army, which was equivalent to giving his lifeline to Qin Hong.
This is the emperor's great trust in Qin Hong, but on the contrary, it also means that Qin Hong will take greater risks.
When this matter is implemented, right and wrong will be inevitable.
When the dishes were served, Qin Zhen had not even taken a few bites when a burst of noise suddenly came from the street outside.
Qin Zhen was sitting by the window. When she looked out, she saw a woman being pulled and pulled.
Looking over from Qin Zhen's side, one could just see the woman's face that would captivate the entire country.
The person who pulled her was a tall and thick man, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Let's go back with me!"
"I won't go back with you," the woman cried, "If you sell me to a brothel, I won't go back with you."
"I gave birth to you and raised you. What's wrong with selling you?" The man said in a rough voice: "Stop talking nonsense and come back with me!"
While pulling, a pair of hands suddenly appeared, grabbed the big man's wrist, and said coolly: "How can such a beauty be treated so roughly?"
Qin Zhen took a look and found that this person was Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao squeezed the big man's hand, feeling a little disgusted: "I don't know how to show mercy to women."
The big man had some cold sweat on his forehead, and said in a panic: "You, let go!"
