Chapter 360: Failed to dig a hole and was criticized
Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly. What were the two of them doing here?
"Miss, the princess asked you to go to the front hall."
After changing her clothes, she went to the main hall.
Before arriving, I heard voices coming from the main hall.
"Although your majesty has been to that bitter and cold place, how come you look younger now?" Mu Qingning said with a smile, "You are in better shape than the last time I visited you."
"You are so sweet." Qin said with a smile on her face: "Every time you come, you can make me happy."
"Miss Mu is right. I also think that the queen is a little younger." Shen Shuyi waved his hand, and the maid behind him took out a box: "Here is a wild ginseng that my grandfather and father accidentally found when they were fighting outside. According to the palace doctor, it has extremely high medicinal value and can best replenish qi and blood. I thought you might be able to use it. Now that I have met the queen, I feel that this ginseng is a bit inappropriate to give as a gift."
Shen Shuyi's words made Qin even happier. In addition, Shen Shuyi's grandfather and father were both military generals. Compared with Mu Qingning, Qin was naturally closer to Shen Shuyi.
Qin's eyes fell on Shen Shuyi: "Has Shuyi reached the age of marriage?"
"My dear Princess, I have just come of age."
Qin smiled and said, "In the blink of an eye, you have grown into big girls. I still remember how small you were when you were born, still in swaddling clothes."
"Yes, when my mother was still alive, she told me that you held me in your arms on the day of the full moon banquet."
Qin and Shen Shuyi were chatting happily, and Mu Qingning, who was sitting on the other side, couldn't help feeling jealous when she saw this.
Could it be that this woman wanted to please Princess Ding so that she could marry into the Dingwang Palace? That was impossible! Shang Ruoyi was just a lowly concubine. Although she was the Crown Prince's Consort, it was only a matter of time before she was divorced, given the current state of the Shang family. If she married He Jingheng, the Crown Prince's Consort would definitely be hers in the future. But if Shen Shuyi also had this idea, things would become a little tricky. The Shen family was born as a military general, and everyone in the Dingwang Palace would definitely be closer to Shen Shuyi, and she would become her biggest stumbling block.
Shen Shuyi looked at her, guessed what she was thinking, and smiled contemptuously, what a brainless person.
Just then, a maid came in: "My lady, the Crown Prince's Consort is here."
"Please, please, please!"
Shen Shuyi noticed the expression on Qin's face. When she mentioned Shang Ruoyi, her eyes obviously brightened up. Not only that, the smile on the corner of her mouth also became more sincere.
Mu Qingning didn't notice these subtle expressions at all. She just looked at the woman who came in through the door with a face full of bitterness and hatred.
Shang Ruoyi was wearing a goose yellow dress with a white fox fur cloak on the outside. Her long black hair was tied with a ribbon and she only had a hairpin on her head. It was obviously the simplest decoration, but when she wore it, she felt like a fairy who had fallen into the world.
Shen Shuyi's eyes fell on the hairpin in her hair, and he was stunned.
I saw a huge oriental pearl inlaid on the jade hairpin, and the most rare thing was that the oriental pearl was golden.
"Greetings to mother."
"Come, come!" Qin waved her hand and said, "Come and sit next to mother!"
"Thank you, concubine."
"Greetings to the Crown Prince's Consort." Shen Shuyi and Mu Qingning leaned forward slightly. Mu Qingning rolled her eyes secretly. She felt uncomfortable at the thought of paying respects to a lowly concubine's daughter.
"No gift."
Shang Ruoyi's eyes fell on Shen Shuyi, and she saw that she looked indifferent. Only when she looked at the hairpin on her head, her expression changed slightly.
On the other hand, Mu Qingning looked very angry, and the word "anger" was almost written on her face.
"I've heard about the second young lady of Shang Xiangye's mansion for a long time. No, she can't be called Xiangye anymore." Shen Shuyi changed her words and said, "Shang's second young lady is outstanding in appearance and stunning in appearance. I've never seen her before. I'm lucky enough to see her today. She's really a beauty. No wonder the princess likes her. If it were me, I'd like her too."
"Shuyi and I have the same idea." Qin looked at Shang Ruoyi and said with satisfaction: "I have seen countless people, but I have never seen a girl as beautiful as Ruoyi."
"Thank you for the compliment, mother." Shang Ruoyi smiled. In fact, she was beginning to feel sleepy.
Mu Qingning looked at Shang Ruoyi unwillingly, sneered and said, "Did the Crown Prince's Consort go to the Heavenly Prison to see Prime Minister Shang?"
Shang Ruo leaned back in her chair and shook her head: "No."
"The Crown Prince's Consort is really a man who sacrifices his own family for the sake of justice. Now that Prime Minister Shang is in prison, it would be fine if you didn't ask for his help, but you didn't even go to see him off for the last time. Aren't you afraid of disappointing him?"
Shang Ruoyi almost laughed out loud when she heard this. Her eyes fell on Qin beside her, and her expression was indeed not as good as before.
Yes, it was the Dingguo Palace that sent Shangnian to the Heavenly Prison. Now that Mu Qingning said such words in front of Princess Ding, anyone would think that she was speaking up for the Shang Palace.
Mu Qingning is willing to say anything to discredit her. I don't know if she really has a brain or not.
"Why should I go see him?" Shang Ruoyi sneered: "I really don't know why I have to go."
"Prince Shang is your biological father. If you don't even care about your own father's life or death, who else can you care about?" Mu Qingning curled her lips in disdain: "The Dingguo Palace is the most affectionate and righteous. It's really shameful to marry a daughter-in-law like you." She looked at Princess Zhan and saw that she looked ugly. She thought that what she said was heard by her, and continued: "That's right, you were just a concubine's daughter before, and no one taught you much about etiquette, righteousness, and shame, so you naturally don't understand the rules of this family."
Shen Shuyi looked at Mu Qingning who was talking to herself incessantly and wished he could stay away from her immediately. With such a brain, how could the Right Prime Minister's Mansion raise such a legitimate daughter?
"I don't really understand the rules of the family, but I think I understand benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness better than Miss Mu." Shang Ruoyi said coldly, "Shang Nian's crimes are too numerous to list. He framed loyal ministers and killed soldiers. He is my father and a sinner of the whole world. What's wrong with me ignoring such a person?" She curled her lips slightly and sneered, "Or do you think that the prince and the prince are wrong to expose Shang Nian's crimes?"
Her words woke Mu Qingning up from her dream.
She finally realized what she had said. Seeing Princess Ding's extremely ugly expression, she quickly said, "Princess, please forgive me. This is not what I meant."
"It's okay." Qin rubbed her forehead, looking tired.
Seeing this, Shen Shuyi stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty just came back, and we came to disturb you. It's really wrong. Please don't blame us."
