Chapter 92: Willing to be punished
When Ren Xin came back from the Prime Minister's Mansion, she went to see Master Xu and had a few words. She didn't mention the humiliation by Ma Chenggong in the Prime Minister's Mansion, nor did she mention what she had done to Ma Chenggong, and she was laughing and joking with Master Xu.
After talking for a while, she was sent back by the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw Qing'er being stopped by the guards at the entrance of the Princess Mansion, running around anxiously.
"Butler Li, walk slowly." Ren Xin sent the butler away and then walked towards the princess mansion.
Qing'er was struggling with the guards at the door of the Princess's Mansion, "Brother, if I don't go in, you can go in and help search. Our child really accidentally entered the Princess' Mansion..."
"Stop messing around, Miss Qing'er. If that child really entered the princess's house, the princess would have sent him out long ago." The guard guarding the door knew Qing'er, and his attitude was quite friendly. He only warned Qing'er not to mess around.
Wondering what happened, he stepped forward and asked, "Sister Qing'er, what happened?"
Qing'er heard the sound and saw that the person who came was Ren Xin. Qing'er burst into anxious tears and said, "Miss Xin, I didn't take good care of Zhan Yue. He accidentally fell into the princess's mansion on the courtyard wall. One day,
Never came back."
"How could Zhan Yue, such a quiet child, climb the wall and fall into the princess's mansion so easily?" Ren Xin frowned and looked at the princess's mansion, feeling very annoyed. She already had enough things to worry about.
Yes, why did Zhan Yue, the most worry-free person, cause trouble again?
"I..." Qing'er felt aggrieved, but felt very guilty in her heart, "Zhan Yue said that being alone was boring, so I just wanted to play shuttlecock with him, but I didn't expect the shuttlecock to fly to the wall. Zhan Yue wanted to pick up the shuttlecock so...
…”
"Forget it, now that it has happened, the reason is not that important anymore. Thinking about the solution is the most important." Ren Xin comforted Qing'er, then turned to the guards and bowed gently, "Two eldest brothers, this
It's not a big deal. It's just a child who accidentally entered the princess's house. There is no need to disturb the princess. If possible, the two eldest brothers might as well do it for your convenience and inform the person in charge to please keep an eye on whether there is such a child in the house.
How is it?"
"This..." The two guards discussed it for a while, and one of them entered the princess's mansion. After a while, he ran out again and even saluted Ren Xin respectfully. "The princess just returned to the mansion. What happened in the mansion?"
There are so many people, so many people are busy, and the superiors have given instructions that if the girl wants to, she can go into the house and look for him on her own."
"Thank you, big brother." Ren Xin was overjoyed when he heard this. He pulled Qing'er and was about to go in to find someone. However, the guard who didn't want to speak stopped Ren Xin and said, "Miss Qing'er, please stay outside the house. The superiors only allow this person."
The girl goes in alone."
"But Miss Xin..."
"I'll just go. Sister Qing'er, please wait for me here. Don't embarrass the two eldest brothers." Ren Xin was already very satisfied with being able to let Ren Xin in. She didn't want to cause any more trouble. Ever since she entered the capital, she
She felt that her luck was not very good. After saying that, she immediately entered the door, and there was a maid waiting to show her the way.
The guard who had been staying outside the door saw Qing'er worried and relieved her, "It's okay. Since the superiors allowed the girl to enter the house, they will not embarrass her. Miss Qing'er, please feel free."
Qing'er nodded slightly, but she still felt uneasy. Not everyone could enter the Princess Mansion if they wanted to. She didn't understand why Qing'er, who was familiar with the Princess Mansion, was not allowed to enter. Instead, she was allowed to enter without knowing the circumstances.
Let Xin in? Thinking of this, she asked the guard who went in to ask, "Do you know what Aunt Yu was thinking, and why she only let Miss Xin into the house?"
"Aunt Yu?" The man was stunned and shook his head, "Aunt Yu didn't allow her to come in, it was the eldest princess who allowed her to enter the mansion herself."
"Eldest Princess?" Qing'er's heart skipped a beat and she asked hurriedly, "Has the princess ever mentioned her intentions?"
The guard asked questions but did not know. Qing'er felt uneasy and could not figure out what the princess was thinking.
Ren Xin entered the mansion and followed the maid all the way. She didn't look like she was looking for someone. Ren Xin tried to talk to the maid, but the maid remained silent and just led the way. Ren Xin followed her into the huge princess mansion.
For a long time, I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
"Girl, just take me to the wall where the Princess Mansion meets the house with the plum tree next door." Ren Xin spoke to the maid who was leading the way. The maid looked back at Ren Xin expressionlessly and continued walking without saying anything.
. Ren Xin didn’t know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, so she had to continue to follow.
Not long after, Ren Xin seemed to hear Lang Lang's laughter. The voice was very familiar. It was Zhan Yue! Ren Xin stopped following the maid and ran over following the sound. Sure enough, Zhan Yue was there. He was talking to a kind-looking man.
, the slightly fat middle-aged woman plays shuttlecock together, and Ren Xin sees Zhan Yue An
However, everything was fine, and my heart finally felt at ease. Looking at the service of the woman who was playing with Zhan Yue, she was similar to the maid in the palace, but more gorgeous than the ordinary maids. She must be the aunt in charge of the princess's palace. Ren Xin was thinking.
Then, the woman discovered the existence of Ren Xin.
"Aunt Yu, it's her who ran over suddenly. It's none of this servant's business." The maid who was leading Ren Xin followed her at some point and knelt down in front of the woman.
Zhan Yue, who was playing nearby, heard the sound and saw Ren Xin, and ran over happily, "Sister, you finally came to pick me up."
"Nothing, please go down first." Aunt Yu glanced at Ren Xin lightly, waved her hand to let the maid go down, Ren Xin smiled slightly and bowed lightly, "Thank you, Auntie, for taking care of Zhan Yue."
"Nothing, I'll take you to meet the princess." Aunt Yu's face lost the smile she had when she was with Zhan Yue, and her reaction was very dull. Ren Xin didn't understand, why did she find someone to meet the princess?
However, Aunt Yu looked like she didn't want to talk to her, and stepped forward to pull Zhan Yue away. Zhan Yue twitched her hand, not wanting to go with her, and wanted to catch Ren Xin. Aunt Yu glanced at Ren Xin and let her go.
hand.
Touching the coldness in Aunt Yu's eyes, Ren Xin seemed to notice something, but she was not sure yet. She suppressed the doubts in her heart and pulled Zhan Yue to follow behind Aunt Yu.
After wandering to the palace where the princess was, Ren Xin couldn't help but be fascinated when he saw her beautiful face again. The princess was lazily leaning on the couch, playing with an exquisite sachet, looking at
Feeling a little bored, I looked up and saw Aunt Yu bringing Ren Xin and Zhan Yue. I was a little surprised. Didn't she ask someone else to bring Ren Xin to see her alone? Why did Aunt Yu bring them herself?
"Ren Xin pays homage to the princess." Ren Xin saluted respectfully. Aunt Yu stepped forward to help the princess. The princess was sitting upright, dignified and elegant. She raised an armrest and said, "No courtesy."
The eldest princess glanced at Zhan Yue beside Ren Xin and lowered her eyes slightly, "Are you the only female candidate this year?"
"Ren Xin is the candidate for this provincial examination. I don't know if he is the only one." Ren Xin bowed and replied, speaking respectfully and not daring to be presumptuous.
"Well, that's it." Aunt Yu brought tea to the eldest princess. The princess just took a sip and then pushed the tea cup away and wrote lightly, "Ren Xin, do you know your guilt?"
Ren Xin was dumbfounded. She had always observed etiquette since she met the princess and never broke the rules. How could she suddenly be guilty?
Seeing the confusion on Ren Xin's face, the eldest princess twitched her lips and said, "When I returned home earlier, you dared to look directly at me. This was disrespectful to me. Do you admit this crime or not?"
Is it up to Ren Xin whether to admit it or not? Of course she didn't want to admit it if she could, but at that time it was obvious that she had caught sight of the eldest princess, and she couldn't let go if she wanted to.
"Ren Xin was astonished when he saw the princess's alluring appearance for the first time. He couldn't help but take another look. The princess's appearance is so beautiful that there is rarely anyone in the world who can compare with her. Please forgive Ren Xin for not being able to control his eyes.
"Ren Xin praised the eldest princess in line with the principle of flattering her even though she was wearing it, hoping that she would eliminate the punishment for Ren Xin.
"Oh?" The eldest princess stroked her face proudly, with a smile on her lips. What she was most proud of was her face, "You have such a sweet mouth, seeing how you are so lively and flattering."
For your sake, I’ll just fine you twenty boards, do you have any objections?”
"Ren Xin accepts the punishment without any objection." Ren Xin lowered his eyes and bowed, laughing at himself for always thinking things too simply. These people in power are used to being aloof, and they will not stop punishing you even if they say good things... But no
If you give in, you may be punished even more severely.
"Why does the princess punish her sister? People have a face just to be seen. If the princess doesn't want others to see it, just cover her face. The princess doesn't cover her face, but she still has to look at her face.
People, what's the truth?" Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. When Zhan Yue heard that the eldest princess actually wanted to punish Ren Xin, he immediately felt unwilling to do so. He spoke the truth with a small mouth.
Hearing this, Ren Xin quickly covered Zhan Yue's mouth and said hurriedly: "Tong Yan Wuji, Zhan Yue is still young and doesn't understand the truth. I hope the princess will not punish Zhan Yue. Ren Xin will bear all the blame alone."
"What a childish person, I like children who tell the truth." The eldest princess looked at Zhan Yue, secretly sighing that this child is really beautiful, and then glanced at Aunt Yu beside her, "I look at
Zhan Yue feels that it is very agreeable, Ren Xin, if you leave Zhan Yue in the Princess Mansion to be taken care of by Aunt Yu today, I will exempt you from punishment, what do you think?"
Ren Xin secretly asked herself, what on earth did she do to avoid causing trouble, but those troubles came to her one after another?
"I don't want it." Zhan Yue refused simply. As soon as he finished speaking, he thought that his words would implicate Ren Xin. He bit his lip and looked up at Ren Xin. He was about to change his words when Ren Xin held him down.
