Princess Ning had already planned to let Qin'er follow her into the palace. After all, Qin'er was clever and could help her. However, her grandmother actually beat her twenty times and her skin was bruised? After suffering such a serious injury, how could she still be able to help her?
How can I enter the palace with her?
She didn't expect that the old lady would punish Qin'er for her. Now she had to be patient and not make the old lady unhappy for Qin'er. When she saw Qin'er later, she would comfort Qin'er.
"Ning'er doesn't want them to be wronged because of you, so don't be as willful as before. I know that you have slowly learned to be considerate of others and have become more sensible. But if you are just for the concubine's gift, you will exhaust yourself.
How can I go into the palace to see the noble concubine?" the old lady said slowly.
"Grandma is absolutely right. It's all my fault. I should have listened to them and rested earlier." Ning'er quickly admitted her mistake and said.
"Well, I've punished her too. I know you're distressed. Just ask the doctor to treat her carefully." The old lady said.
The old lady has already said this, and naturally Princess Ning can't say any more. Grandma is right, and the punishment has already been meted out. Instead of questioning grandma, it's better to comfort Qin'er herself.
"Grandma, does Ning'er really need to drink the medicine?" Princess Ning asked.
"Are you disobeying the doctor? You have not recovered from your previous injury, and now you are too exhausted and have fainted. You can only take some decoction to recover. If you disobey, I will not let you enter the palace." The old lady said.
"Ning'er just listen to my grandmother's words and ask Hua'er to make me some medicine when I get back." Princess Ning said obediently.
"I'm relieved to see you're awake. Your face doesn't look so ugly after you wake up. When your elder brother heard the news that you fainted, he followed Aunt Qing here regardless of anything." The old lady smiled.
said.
"Brother, Ning'er has made eldest brother worry." Princess Ning said.
"Ning'er, you are grandma's granddaughter. If something happens to her, will grandma be at ease? Do you know that you frightened grandma after you fainted?" Prince Cheng said.
"Ning'er knows." Princess Ning said.
"Your elder brother is right. No matter how willful you were in the past, I am still your grandmother." The old lady said.
"Grandma, since Ning'er is fine, let her return home to recuperate." Prince Cheng said worriedly.
"What's wrong? Are you worried that I will eat Ning'er?" the old lady said jokingly.
"Of course I'm not worried about grandma, I just don't want to cause any trouble to Yun Ying. This is not a royal palace after all, and Ning'er won't get used to it," Prince Cheng said.
"My lord, are you worried that I will embarrass Ning'er?" Yun Ying walked in and said with a smile.
Yun Ying heard that Ning'er was awake and came over to see her. As soon as she walked to the door, she heard what Prince Cheng said.
"Eldest sister, I just think it's inconvenient for Ning'er to live here, and I don't have any other intention." Prince Cheng said.
The old lady waved her hand and said impatiently: "Take Ning'er back home as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble here."
"Grandma, my grandson didn't mean that." Prince Cheng said.
"Let's go back as soon as it's still dark," the old lady said.
"Yes." Prince Cheng said.
Princess Ning didn't want to stay in the princess's mansion. After all, she took care of everything she did. But she still thought about Qin'er, so she said to the old lady: "Grandma, I want Qin'er to go back with me. I don't know.
Is that possible?"
"She is injured and cannot move. The wound has been covered with medicine. If you are worried, go over and check on her. When she feels better, grandma will send someone to take her back," the old lady said.
"Now that I know about grandma, I'll go over and see her first," Princess Ning said.
After Princess Ning got up, Hua'er arranged Ning'er's clothes and then asked someone to lead the way.
Qin'er's house.
After Princess Ning entered the house, she found that Qin'er's face was pale in pain and there was cold sweat on her forehead.
"Qin'er, I've heard everything. I've really wronged you. It must be very painful, right?" Princess Ning wiped the sweat from Qin'er's forehead with a handkerchief after speaking.
"Princess, my slave doesn't feel any pain at all. It is indeed my fault. The old lady is right. You must not conflict with the old lady because of your slave." Qin'er said.
"I did tell my grandmother that you were unjustly accused, but she didn't listen to my explanation at all. I just told my grandmother that I wanted to take you back with me. But my grandmother said that the wounds on your body cannot be moved, and you can only stay in the county for the time being.
Lord's Mansion. After you feel better, grandma will arrange to send you back," Princess Ning said.
"Don't worry, Princess. Qin'er will take care of herself. Princess looks better now, so I can rest assured," Qin'er said.
"Qin'er, I will come here to pay my respects to my grandmother every day, and I will come to visit you then. Don't worry. I will find a way to take you back and will not leave you in the princess' mansion." Princess Ning said.
"Yes." Qin'er responded.
After Princess Ning left Qin'er's house, she went back to say hello to her grandmother, and then returned to the palace with Prince Cheng.
"You're such a disobedient girl, why do you have to pay your respects to grandma?" Prince Cheng said, not forgetting to teach Princess Ning a lesson on the carriage.
"Brother, I already knew I was wrong. At that time, I really felt that I hadn't paid my respects to my grandmother for several days. I finally finished the embroidery, so naturally I had to inform my grandmother as soon as possible. Seeing Qin'er being punished, I already regretted it very much.
." Princess Ning said.
"I heard that you fainted. I was so scared that I almost lost my wits. Fortunately, it was nothing serious, otherwise your work would have been in vain." Prince Cheng said with distress.
"Ning'er is just a little worried about Qin'er now. I don't know why grandma insists on targeting Qin'er." Princess Ning said.
Princess Ning thought about it and thought that if Hua'er came with her today, her grandmother would probably not do anything to Hua'er. Grandma didn't seem to like Qin'er very much and seemed to have caused trouble for Qin'er several times.
"Why did grandma target Qin'er? I think you were overthinking this time. Grandma was worried about your safety, so she took action against Qin'er," Prince Cheng said.
"Really? But grandma has already caused trouble for Qin'er several times." Princess Ning said.
"Is Ning'er too sensitive? Why does grandma want to embarrass Qin'er?" Prince Cheng said.
Prince Cheng thought that Princess Ning was too sensitive and always felt that the old lady was dissatisfied with the people around her. In fact, this time he felt that the old lady did the right thing. As Ning'er's personal maid, she actually made Ning'er faint from exhaustion.
On the contrary, it is really shameful. They were asked to take good care of Ning'er, but they made Ning'er so tired. The old lady punished Qin'er severely for Ning'er.
"Brother, it's because of Tan'er that grandma doesn't like Qin'er." Princess Ning said.
"Is Tan'er's matter related to Qin'er?" Prince Cheng asked in confusion.
"Qin'er told me that Tan'er had been to the old lady's yard. Grandma must have known about it, so she kept targeting Qin'er," Princess Ning said.
"Ning'er, you are too worried this time. Why would grandma deliberately embarrass Qin'er? You need to take good care of your body quickly. Don't think about other things." Prince Cheng persuaded.
"I understand, brother." Princess Ning said.
Princess Ning did not continue to complain about her grandmother to Prince Cheng. Prince Cheng had just changed his mind about her. If she said too much, Prince Cheng would become suspicious.
After arriving at the palace, Princess Ning returned to her courtyard to rest. Although she slept in the palace, she still felt a little tired. She knew that she was too tired from staying up late these past few days, and the wounds on her body had just healed.
Not long after, he leaned on the soft couch and fell asleep again.
Prince Cheng, who returned to the study, recalled what Princess Ning said on the carriage. Does Tan'er's matter have anything to do with Qin'er? Ning'er wanted to punish Tan'er at first, but it was Aunt Qing who saw Tan'er and took Tan'er away.
. He remembered that it was because Tan'er persuaded Ning'er a few words, and Ning'er discovered that Tan'er had been to his grandmother's yard.
So the person who discovered that Tan'er went to her grandmother's yard was actually Qin'er, and then Qin'er told Ning'er about it. If Ning'er didn't know about it, she wouldn't have found any reason to punish Tan'er. Because of this incident
After all, my grandmother's impression of Ning'er became even worse.
He had already guessed what the purpose of Qin'er telling Ning'er was. He finally remembered why he had no impression of Qin'er. Because Qin'er, who used to be by Ning'er's side, was always dressed up. It seemed that every time he went there
In Ning'er's yard, Qin'er could be seen deliberately appearing in front of her. For some unknown reason, Qin'er changed her appearance. Not only did she dress appropriately, she even became well-behaved.
Grandma's heavy punishment of Qin'er indeed had nothing to do with Ning'er's fainting. It was grandma who wanted to warn Qin'er to behave herself. If Qin'er insists on going her own way and continues to give Ning'er bad ideas, grandma will definitely not let her go.
Although the medicine had been applied, Qin'er was still shivering in pain. She knew that the old lady did it on purpose, but she didn't know why the old lady thought she was doing this to her. Logically speaking, she had not offended the old lady in any way, so why did the old lady use the topic to play off the topic?
When Qin'er was lost in thought, Aunt Qing actually entered the room.
"Aunt Qing, why are you here?" Qin'er said in surprise.
Aunt Qing's arrival made Qin'er a little worried. She didn't know why Aunt Qing came here, and she was full of doubts.
"The doctor should have been here just now, right?" Aunt Qing asked.
"Yes, a sister helped me apply medicine just now." Qin'er said.
"The beating this time is just to make you remember. You are the princess's personal maid. Taking care of the princess's daily life is the most important thing. The princess must be more careful when she behaves." Aunt Qing said.
"Yes, this slave knows." Qin'er said.
"Do you understand what I said?" Aunt Qing said.
"Yes, Qin'er understands." Qin'er said.
"It's better if you really understand, otherwise it won't be twenty sticks. You are not aggrieved by the beating today. I think you know it very well. The old lady knows everything. You can deceive the princess, but you can't deceive the old lady.
"Ms. Qing said.
"I don't understand what Aunt Qing said." Qin'er asked frightenedly.
How could Qin'er not understand? She just didn't know what the old lady knew. But how could the old lady know? Even if the old lady secretly investigated, unless the princess opened her mouth, who would know that she was the one who did it?
An idea?
"Qin'er clearly knows very well in her heart, why are you still pretending to be stupid? The old lady specially asked me to come here to warn you. I hope you can restrain yourself. Put away those evil thoughts of yours. If something happens to the princess, be careful about your life.
"Ms. Qing said.
"Aunt Qing, why are you telling me this? Has the old lady misunderstood me?" Qin'er said pretending to be innocent.
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you know best. I'm not here to listen to your excuse. If you are really afraid, think carefully about what to do in the future." Aunt Qing said.
Qin'er still wanted to explain to Aunt Qing, but Aunt Qing didn't give Qin'er a chance at all, and left Qin'er's house after speaking.
