Chapter 86 Covering up
There is no time to think about it right now, she has to find a way to open the mouth to get things over. But before she could speak, the prince stepped forward and knelt down first:
"Father, Ah Qing originally had good intentions and wanted to give the people a few more copper coins, but no one expected this kind of thing to happen. Now that things have happened, in order to atone for their sins, I will personally go to the homes of the people who died. Give them generous compensation."
After hearing this, everyone finally recovered from the shock. Although they felt that there was nothing wrong with this way of handling, some people still felt bad for the hundred or so lives that died inexplicably.
Feng Lisheng was so angry that he clenched his fists even more. He thought that if the people from Wucheng Bingmasi made the deployment in advance, there would be no accidents, but he didn't want so many people to be killed or injured in the end. He looked at the prince with some disappointment.
"Qi Yu, you said that lightly! That's more than a hundred lives!"
After saying this, a dandy immediately muttered in a low voice:
"It's just a matter of paying more money. After all, it's not about blaming those people for being greedy for money!"
Feng Lisheng turned his head and stared coldly at the speaker. The man trembled in fright, shrunk his shoulders and stepped back.
He turned his head and stared at the prince: "Do you think so too?" Without waiting for the other party to answer, he looked at Su Qing coldly:
"If the Crown Princess really wants to help the people, there are many ways, but you have chosen the most high-profile one. I think if the Crown Princess's intelligence and wisdom are carefully considered, it is impossible not to think that accidents are easy to happen with such a dense staff!"
After he finished speaking, he rubbed his forehead, and the familiar pain appeared again, but strangely, it seemed that the pain was not as unbearable as the previous two times.
His voice was as cold as ever, but Su Qing could hear the sarcasm in this cold voice, she pursed her lips and lowered her head aggrievedly:
"Yes, it's all my fault. I just saw that those people were pitiful, so I..."
The crown prince hated her the most, and immediately tugged Feng Li Sheng's sleeve: "Okay, little Huangshu, don't talk about it, this matter will be handled properly..."
Feng Lisheng shook off his hand, talked to Jing and Di, and then left the wedding hall without looking back, even pulling Shen Mingjiao away before leaving.
Jing and Di waved their hands and followed him, looking at the two princes, Su Qing, with disappointment in their eyes.
At first he agreed to this marriage, firstly because Qi Yu likes it, and secondly because he thinks Qi Yu's character is a bit soft, and he wants to find him a smart and assertive wife.
But looking at it now, Su Qing does look quite smart. It's just too assertive.
…
Shen Mingjiao was dragged all the way out of the main hall by Feng Lisheng.
"Okay, okay, stop."
Feng Lisheng stopped obediently, but his brows were still furrowed, obviously still angry.
Shen Mingjiao raised her hand and patted his arm: "Okay, don't be angry, it's not like you don't know the prince's feelings for Su Qing. It's completely expected that he would do this."
She knew that Feng Lisheng's personality seemed cold, but in fact he was the most vicious and vengeful in his heart.
Feng Lisheng endured it, but in the end he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, clenched his fist and slammed it **** one side of the wall:
"I know, it's Qi Yu who makes me angry. He knows the truth of the matter, but he only cares about his personal emotions and wholeheartedly protects Su Qing. If he is just an ordinary person, that's all. The emperor's people!"
Actually, what he was most worried about was that if Qi Yu became emperor in the future, Su Qing would lead him by the nose. That would be a disaster for the entire Great Summer.
Shen Mingjiao held his stiff arm, frowned at his skinned and bleeding knuckles.
"Then what do you think of him, the prince will never cancel the wedding because of this matter! In fact, aside from his overly focused feelings for Su Qing, other aspects are pretty good,"
After all, the crown prince seemed to have a natural filter on Su Qing, and it would be very difficult for them to change it.
Speaking of this, Shen Mingjiao couldn't help but want to ask what happened to Jing and Di after her death in the previous life, but thinking that Feng Lisheng had never brought up these things in front of her, and this was not in Su Wang's mansion, she held back. I didn't ask.
There was a movement of sending the bride into the bridal chamber from the wedding hall, but something like this happened. Seeing the faces of Shoujing and Di, the original excitement was obviously a little lighter.
At this time, several princes came over, and King Huai stepped forward and patted Feng Lisheng's arm: "Okay, it's a big day, don't put on a straight face!"
"Let's go, that kid Qi Yu can't drink, we uncles have to keep him away!" He hooked Feng Lisheng's shoulder while talking.
Feng Lisheng didn't really want to go. Shen Mingjiao didn't really want to stay any longer, but on this occasion, it seemed that it wouldn't be good for them to just leave.
Princess Yu came over to hold her arm, and exclaimed: "What are you doing standing here, this bride is in the wedding room!"
Shen Mingjiao was stunned: "Just go in! What does it have to do with me?"
Princess Yu vainly poked her on the forehead: "Are you stupid? The bride enters the bridal chamber. How can we, aunts, not go there? Princess Chu and the others have all gone!"
Shen Mingjiao seemed to have reacted after hearing the words, and slapped her forehead fiercely.
That's right, according to her seniority, Su Qing still has to call her Aunt Huang!
In her previous life, she was just a side concubine of Prince Su's mansion, so she is naturally not considered an elder in a strict sense.
So much so that in this life she ignored this point,
Thinking of this, her eyes lit up. Facing the unhappy Feng Lisheng, he blinked and smiled and said:
"Go! The eldest nephew is getting married, how can we, uncles and aunts, be absent?"
…
Shen Mingjiao was dragged by Princess Yu all the way into the wedding room in a good mood.
At this time, there were many people standing in the wedding room, and the two newlyweds had just finished drinking a cup of wine. The prince was also taken away by several friends.
Only the female relatives were left in the wedding room. Su Qing sat down in front of the wedding bed in an orderly manner with her head bowed and her hands clasped, acting like a shy bride.
Several princesses sat across from each other, and when there was some silence on both sides, the eldest princess Qi was about to open her mouth to brighten the atmosphere. I saw Princess Yu dragging Shen Mingjiao rushing in.
"Oh, why are you all sitting and not talking!"
While speaking, he sat down beside Su Qing, regardless of whether the other party was willing or not, he first took the other party's arm familiarly:
"Nephew and daughter-in-law, is the phoenix crown on your head heavy? Oh, you are the best Dongzhu, how much does it cost..."
Once I got to Balabala, I almost asked the eighteen generations of Su Qing's ancestors.
Su Qing's face froze, and she was disgusted in her heart, but now she is a newlywed, and the other party is an elder, for the sake of reputation, even if she is unhappy in her heart, she still has to pretend to be cute.
Shen Mingjiao on the side rested her chin and watched with relish, even looking at Princess Yu, she felt inexplicably cute.
Princess Yu seemed to realize that there was still work to be done, she quickly stopped the topic, pointed to the leading Princess Qi and introduced: "This is your Auntie of the Three Emperors."
Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and calmly pulled out the arm held by Princess Yu. He stood up and slightly bent his knees and called "Aunt Sanhuang" obediently.
Princess Qi hurriedly stretched out her hand to support her, and couldn't help but praise her for being well-behaved. The same is true of the other princesses.
Su Qing's mood finally became a little happier, but before he was happy, Ji Shun saw Princess Yu pointing to Shen Mingjiao, who was eating snacks with her legs crossed, and said:
"This is Concubine Su, Xiao Shiliu is the last among all the brothers, you can call her Aunt Xiao Huang!"
Shen Mingjiao raised her chin in response to the occasion, assuming the posture of an elder.
Su Qing stood there with a stiff face, but she forgot about it. It should be said that she subconsciously ignored the relationship between His Royal Highness King Su and the prince's uncle and nephew.
She quickly recovered her expression management, blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment: "Princess Su is younger than me? I... I really can't say it!"
Princess Qi was about to open her mouth to smooth things over for Su Qing, but was pulled back by Princess Chu beside her with quick eyes and hands.
Different from their husbands who are just vassal kings, His Royal Highness King Su is a prince with real power.
Shen Mingjiao gently put down the snack,
"No matter how young I am, the husband I will marry will also be the uncle of His Highness the Crown Prince. Besides..."
Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows, and stared at her with a half-smile: "If I remember correctly, just now at the wedding hall, the princess, you swore that you only regarded my highness as an elder, why are you like this now!"
In this sensitive period, Su Qing is most afraid of mentioning King Su.
She gritted her teeth. Bowing slightly to Shen Mingjiao, she called "Little Aunt Huang",
The gnashing of teeth in the voice should not be too obvious.
Shen Mingjiao didn't care at all, stood up and patted the back of her hand, raised a standard elder's benevolent smile,
"Well, be good, eldest nephew and daughter-in-law!"
Su Qing was so angry that she swears in her heart, **** your mother's eldest nephew and daughter-in-law!
