Chapter 177 Beating is kissing and scolding is love
The tenth prince held the kite in his hand and liked it very much. He walked to Emperor Yong'an, tugged on Emperor Yong'an's broad sleeves and said in a sweet voice: "Father, I want to go outside and fly the kite."
Emperor Yong'an touched his head, his eyes almost overflowing with love, and said softly: "Go."
In the middle of the banquet, everyone put down their chopsticks one by one and chatted with the guests around them.
The queen turned her gaze to Shen Ruzhou, with a hint of imperceptible displeasure in her eyes, and she started talking as if talking about everyday matters.
"Princess Wucheng is newly married, how are you doing?"
Shen Ruzhou was suddenly questioned by the Queen, and something strange flashed across his eyes, which disappeared briefly, and he politely replied: "Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. My son is very good."
The queen had a faint smile on her face, "But why did I hear that you and Concubine De had some troubles a few days ago?"
That's what I wanted to say.
Shen Ruzhou looked at the queen deeply.
The queen in front of me is actually the successor. When the first queen was alive, she gave birth to three children, but she couldn't keep the first two. When she gave birth to the third one, she suffered from dystocia, and both mother and child died.
The concubine at that time came to the throne and became the current queen. She has been firmly on the throne for more than ten years.
Xiao Jingzhan was born to this empress. Although Xiao Jingzhan was useless and the empress had never been able to help this biological son become the prince, the empress was still favored and her position was stable. It was precisely because the empress, like the emperor, was ruthless. , powerful, that concubine Shu is the queen's party.
In her previous life, the Queen fought fiercely with Xiao Chenyan in order to seize the legitimate heir, and even she was affected several times. The most thrilling one was when the Queen sent an assassin to the palace to assassinate Xiao Chenyan. She risked her life to block Xiao Chenyan's sword, and she almost died that time. .
Xiao Jingzhan was scolded by the emperor today, and the queen must have put the blame on her and made it difficult for her.
Shen Ruzhou's face was calm, with cold eyes and eyebrows. He looked at the queen calmly and said, "There was just a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It has been resolved. Mother, don't worry."
"How can I not be worried?" The Queen sighed and her voice was as calm as water: "You made a lot of noise, and it all reached my ears. I heard that you made a move, and you even slapped De Concubine?"
Without waiting for Shen Ruzhou to reply, Concubine Shu spoke next.
"I couldn't believe it when I heard about it. Empress De Fei has always been good-tempered and kind to others. Why did she end up in such trouble with Princess Wucheng?"
"Palm imprisonment?" Emperor Yong'an's face darkened, and he looked at Shen Ruzhou, "Princess Wucheng, is this a problem?"
You can't hide. Shen Ruzhou looked coldly and said, "It does happen."
There has been an explosion underneath.
"What? Princess Wucheng dared to slap Concubine De?!"
"I have long heard that Princess Wucheng has an arrogant and unruly temperament. I didn't expect that she would even dare to punch and kick her own mother-in-law. She is really lawless!"
"What kind of tutor in the General's Mansion could raise such a daughter?!"
……
Xiao Chenyan's handsome long eyebrows frowned slightly as he listened to those discussions.
Mu Wanqing lowered her eyes with an intriguing expression. Jamel Xiao took her hand and sneered: "Shen Ruzhou is really amazing."
He looked at Xiao Chenyan again, raised his eyebrows and said: "I am a perfect match for the emperor's brother. You two will definitely grow old together."
Xiao Chenyan's handsome brows and eyes were filled with dark clouds, and he said coldly: "I would like to borrow the emperor's good words."
Bei Xiuyan sat silently, stroking the cup gently with his slender fingers, and glanced at Shen Ruzhou. Seeing the indifference on that beautiful face, it was obvious that he had a plan in mind, so he silently withdrew his gaze.
When this matter was revealed, Mu Wanrong suddenly became excited. She acted in disbelief and raised her voice: "Princess, how could you do such a thing? Concubine De is your mother-in-law. This Ouda Po It is also a serious crime to leave your mother alone among the people!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone also joined in with indignation.
"Yes, yes, this is too much!"
"Treason and disloyalty must be severely punished!"
Seeing this, Ji Feng clenched his fists secretly, frowned and looked at Shen Ruzhou, his eyes resentful and a little anxious.
Shen Ruzhou married Xiao Chenyan, which caused a lot of troubles and caused the general's family to be corrupted and embarrassed the general's house. After being scolded so badly, Xiao Chenyan didn't help her and just said that she deserved it and had to marry him.
But it's also strange that she is married to Xiao Chenyan, and she doesn't want to please Xiao Chenyan's biological mother, but she still fights with her. Isn't this justified?
In the midst of the discussion, Shen Ruzhou stood up and looked at the emperor and empress, "Father, emperor, mother, Ruzhou did beat Concubine De, but there was a reason for this."
Mu Wanrong said sadly: "The princess is confused, she can't beat her mother-in-law no matter what the reason is!"
Everyone echoed: "Yes, yes..."
Shen Ruzhou smiled faintly, stood up and walked to the center of the banquet, facing everyone, "Actually, you all misunderstood. The reason why I beat Concubine De was because Concubine De hit me first."
The queen's expression was sullen and her tone was extremely cold: "As your mother-in-law, Concubine De, even if she attacks you, you will suffer the consequences. How can you fight back? Isn't it ridiculous for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to beat each other up?"
Concubine Shu answered: "This is indeed outrageous. Where is the dignity of the royal family?"
"No, no, no." Shen Ruzhou shook his head in a pretentious manner, looking at everyone seriously, "We are not fighting each other, but expressing our love to each other."
Emperor Yong'an's majestic face showed confusion, "What did you say?"
Everyone was also very confused.
Shen Ruzhou's expression was sincere, "Have you not heard that hitting means kissing and scolding means loving? At that time, Empress De Fei didn't say anything, and slapped me so hard on the face that I felt like stars were shining in my eyes and my head was shaking. The buzzing sound shows how deep Concubine De's love is for me as her daughter-in-law!"
"My mother-in-law loves me so much. I must not let her down and show my deep love for her, so I also beat her."
The voice fell, and there was silence in the hall.
Everyone was simply suspicious of their ears. Such an outrageous explanation really shocked them.
Bei Xiuyan looked at the bright smile on Shen Ruzhou's face, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
You can really bullshit.
The queen's calm face was a little tense. She took a deep breath and looked at Shen Ruzhou without words.
"Princess Wucheng, are you drunk?"
Shen Ruzhou opened his eyes with clear eyes, "Thank you, the Queen, for your concern. I am not drunk. Why, the Queen doesn't believe what I said?"
She curled her lips and said with an innocent look, "I don't dare to tell lies in front of my father, the emperor and my mother. Everything I said just now is true. The regent's apprentice was present at the time, and King Wu Cheng was also present. They can all testify that I What I said is true."
Xiao Chenyan had always had a sullen face. He raised his head, his handsome face showing a trace of unnaturalness. He faced everyone's doubtful eyes and said coldly, "It is indeed... like this."
He didn't even think about why he told Shen Ruzhouyuan such outrageous lies. If his mother and concubine knew about it, they would definitely be angry.
Bei Xiuyan looked calm, his dignified and indifferent face revealed an unmistakable coldness, and he admitted simply: "Huaining said the same thing when he went back that day."
As he spoke, he seemed to be interested, and added: "Huaining also said that he wanted to try this method with me. I saw that he was young and was afraid that he would not be able to bear it, so he gave up."
Seeing Bei Xiuyan lying seriously, Shen Ruzhou couldn't help but laugh, and quickly pinched his palms to hold back his laughter.
Beixiu Yan turned around and glanced at her expressionlessly...
