"What does this matter have to do with you? Get up and talk!" the Queen Mother said displeasedly. Of course, the one she believed the most was Zhang Wanyin. Even the imperial doctor didn't know about this matter, so how could Zhang Wanyin understand it.
Zhang Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the hem of her skirt and stood up, bowing Yingying to the Queen Mother: "Thank you, Queen Mother."
"It's up to you to investigate this matter. If it's just a misunderstanding, forget it." The Queen Mother waved her hand, which meant that she wanted to make a big issue a small one.
Yu Xijiao suppressed the deep look in her eyes and retreated outside the hall with everyone.
"Miss Yu, Sister Hu, come with me." After everyone stood still, Zhang Wanyin looked at Yu Xijiao and said gently.
Yu Xijiao lightly touched her skirt with her fingers and nodded.
Several people went to the nearby side hall.
Yu Xijiao had nothing to say. She was basically just a spectator, listening to what Nanny Hu said about what the two palace maids said in front of her. After the two palace maids called her over, they said that they had heard what others said, but that was actually what they said.
, I really didn’t notice that Grandma Hu was there too...
It was all by chance that things were being checked here and there. Only Aunt Hu sounded like she had ulterior motives, and sometimes the preface and the follow-up were inconsistent. If Yu Xijiao hadn't helped her make up for it from time to time, the one who should be most responsible for this time was Aunt Hu herself.
.
Yu Xijiao watched the farce directed and acted by Princess Mingqing in boredom, waiting to see how it would end...
"Miss Yu, Third Princess An and the eldest princess are here. The Queen Mother would like to invite you over." A chamberlain came over and said with a smile.
"Grandma is here, let me go and take a look." Yu Xijiao stood up.
"Miss Yu San, I will accompany you." Zhang Wanyin also said hurriedly.
"Thank you very much, Princess Mingqing. I won't bother you to accompany me. I have to trouble Princess Mingqing about the matters here." Yu Xijiao bowed sideways and declined lightly.
Then he left with the two maids, leaving Zhang Wanyin frowning behind.
What I thought was easy to solve has now caused such a big mistake. Is it because I wasn't careful enough or because I did something wrong?
In the main hall, Princess An and the eldest princess were chatting with the Queen Mother. When they saw Yu Xijiao coming in, they showed some concern on their faces.
"I've met the Queen Mother, I've met my grandmother." Yu Xijiao stepped forward and saluted.
"No courtesy." The Queen Mother said calmly.
An and the eldest princess had already stood up, walked two steps to Yu Xijiao, took her hand, and asked urgently: "Is the injury serious? Is it serious? What does the imperial doctor say?"
"Grandma, I'm fine. I just injured my hand and my leg a little bit, but it's not serious." Yu Xijiao comforted An and the eldest princess.
"This child, this hand... this hand is injured like this, but it's not serious." Looking at the hand wrapped up like a bundle, An and the eldest princess held Yu Xijiao's other hand, feeling heartbroken.
"Ah!" Yu Xijiao exclaimed softly, covering the hands held by An and the eldest princess with her wrapped hands.
"What's going on? This hand is also injured?" An and the eldest princess thought that the scratching hurt Yu Xijiao, so they hurriedly reassured.
"It's just that... I hurt my hand when I was learning the rules." Yu Xi said softly, "It's not serious."
"Let me take a look." Princess An and the eldest princess eagerly opened Yu Xijiao's sleeves. Seeing the red and swollen hand with purple marks, they hurriedly asked, "This... following these rules will hurt your hand."
What's going on? How was it hurt? This...what's going on?"
The Queen Mother's eyes also flashed over, and when she saw Yu Xijiao's hand, she was a little stunned. She just heard Nanny Hu's understatement, and Yu Xijiao didn't seem to care, thinking that nothing happened.
Now that he saw the injury on Yu Xijiao's hand, he realized that the injury was much more serious than he thought.
This needs medicine!
"Empress Dowager, Jiao'er is injured. She may not be able to learn the rules now. Can you let her learn the rules after she recovers? If she still can't learn the rules by then, An He will definitely beat her until she can't get up.
The Queen Mother is most satisfied." Princess An and the eldest princess turned around and begged the Queen Mother for mercy. After such a big incident, how could the granddaughter still have the heart to learn the rules?
Princess An and the eldest daughter were dissatisfied. It was not a good time to learn the rules, but she had to learn them at this time. She had been taught the rules of her granddaughter before, and she did everything in her words and deeds. She was taught by the Xie family in Jiangnan.
Great, no need to learn any more rules.
The Queen Mother coughed low and felt a little embarrassed. She really didn't expect that Yu Xijiao had such a large piece of evidence in her hand, and even let An and the eldest princess see it. Just now, she repeatedly said in front of An and the eldest princess.
It was good to praise Yu Xijiao, she liked it very much.
This now sounds like a slap in the face.
"It is true that the Ai family is a little anxious. I originally thought that I happened to be in the palace, and the Ai family liked it. I was temporarily learning the rules in the palace. It is always more convenient to have the Ai family watching. Unexpectedly, the palace rules have become stricter.
When the child was injured, it was difficult for her to move according to the rules, which made her feel wronged."
The Queen Mother said.
There must be no mistakes in the palace rules. If there are mistakes, it is because Yu Xijiao herself did not do the right thing.
"The Queen Mother, it is her blessing that you are willing to teach her. There is no grievance! But can you let her go back to recuperate first? Once the injury is healed, An He will send her to the palace so that the Queen Mother can educate her well?"
An and the eldest princess calmed down, suppressed the anger in their hearts, and said.
Her little granddaughter almost died, and now she is still being harshly criticized by the Queen Mother. The anger of An and the eldest princess has been suppressed again and again.
"Then go back!" The Queen Mother leaned back and waved her hands in a bad mood. She really felt that Yu Xijiao needed to learn the rules, but the palace had to be in order. How could she dare to do that?
Beat Yu Xijiao like this.
Thinking that it was Zhang Wanyin who suggested it at the time, even Zhang Wanyin felt a little resentful. Yu Xijiao was injured. It was indeed not a good time to learn the rules. If she kept him again, it would seem that she was being too harsh. She asked to marry him in the first place.
At that time, the Queen Mother also repeatedly said that Yu Xijiao was very good and she liked her very much.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Princess An and the eldest princess pulled Yu Xijiao to kneel down to thank her.
While he was talking, Zhang Wanyin came in with the imperial doctor, first bowed to the Queen Mother above, and then bowed to Princess An and the eldest princess.
His demeanor and behavior were all generous, and Yu Xijiao couldn't help but admire her. She had made a mistake just now, but now she could recover immediately. This Princess Mingqing is really powerful.
However, this matter still has an impact on Princess Mingqing, otherwise she would not come in to report at this time. This is intended to show her generosity, her calmness and selflessness, but in fact she wants to clear her name.
A little more anxious, a little different from her usual behavior...
"How did the investigation go?" the Queen Mother asked.
"This is really a misunderstanding. The imperial doctors just investigated it together with Wanyin. All the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital have asked about it. Only one of them knows about it. The other imperial doctors are also unaware of it. The two palace maids occasionally heard the news from outside.
When people talked about the benefits of this wound medicine, they talked casually and didn't notice Aunt Hu, but Aunt Hu... Wanyin felt that the preface and the follower were somewhat inconsistent."
Zhang Wanyin said with sincere eyes.
This was very reasonable. Yu Xijiao had just seen clearly that everything was a coincidence. Only because Nanny Hu had concealed her intention to punish her before, some of her words sounded contradictory.
An and the eldest princess didn't know that this matter had something to do with their granddaughter, so they stepped back and supported their granddaughter and listened quietly to the Queen Mother's remarks.
"Why does the preface and the postscript not match up?"
"It was said before that she used the wound medicine out of curiosity and tried it herself. Now she said that she heard the two palace maids commenting on the effectiveness of the wound medicine, so she hit the third girl Yu a few times. She didn't expect that the wound medicine would make the wound worse.
, it will also irritate the skin, increase the pain, and worsen the injury." Zhang Wanyin said.
An and the eldest princess were shocked and looked at Yu Xijiao in astonishment.
Yu Xijiao nodded slightly and told her grandmother that this matter did have something to do with her.
"You are so brave, you dare to take action." The Queen Mother's face darkened and she was furious. Just as she was about to send someone to pull Nanny Hu down and beat her, Yu Xijiao had already spoken.
"The Queen Mother, I have something to report."
"Say." The Queen Mother said angrily. This matter was so disturbing that she felt ashamed that it had reached this stage.
"I know about Aunt Hu. The discussion I heard from the two palace maids is true. It is also true that Aunt Hu is worried about trying it on her own. The two are actually not conflicting. I feel that Aunt Hu was indeed the one before.
I was a little stricter, my daughter was injured, some of her movements were not in place, and I was not doing the best. Aunt Hu beat my daughter, and she deserved it."
These words did not shirk the responsibility at all. Looking at Yu Xijiao's sincere eyes, the Queen Mother's sigh dropped slightly, and she nodded secretly. At least she was a person who knew that she was well-intentioned. It was not too bad. I couldn't say
If you teach well, you can teach well.
Saying that Aunt Hu was a bad teacher before was equivalent to saying that the Queen Mother was meddling in her own business. Now that Yu Xijiao admitted Aunt Hu, in the Queen Mother's eyes, she was admitting that what she did was right.
"This child is honest, but the Ai family is a little too impatient." A slight smile appeared on the Queen Mother's face.
"It's my fault. I have to thank the Empress Dowager for sending Aunt Hu to be so considerate. Although I heard the palace maid talking about the healing medicine being very good, Aunt Hu still tried it very carefully herself. Unexpectedly, this test actually
Something went wrong during the test, and Aunt Hu was injured because of it. Aunt Hu was injured because of my daughter, so I ask the Queen Mother to make a clear decision."
Yu Xijiao said solemnly.
Aunt Hu represents the face of the Queen Mother. To acknowledge Aunt Hu is to acknowledge the Queen Mother. Yu Xijiao repeatedly acknowledged Aunt Hu and was truly grateful to Aunt Hu, which made the Queen Mother very face-saving, and the expression on her face became more and more gentle.
, with a smile on his face, said to An and the eldest princess: "This child is really kind-hearted. Even after beating her, she still speaks for others."
"Mr. Xie of Jiangnan raised her very well." Princess An and the eldest daughter did not take the credit and gently pushed her to Mrs. Xie.
"Mrs. Xie is a good person. When the Aijia wanted to stay in her capital, she was unwilling. Now I haven't seen her for so long." The Queen Mother sighed, "Seeing this child now is like seeing her back then.
Mrs. Xie is indeed a good teacher! Although there are some differences, she must still teach children who are dignified and knowledgeable."
Zhang Wanyin didn't expect that things would end like this, and she was secretly annoyed. Yu Xijiao's generosity made it seem like she had pushed Nanny Hu out and became a bad person, and she was also a bad person who could not achieve anything...
