Chapter 196

196 justifiable eccentricity

The old princess's anger soon burned to Shen Qingru.

Due to Shen Qingru's serious injury, the old princess specially ordered her not to come to greet her, and she went to see her every three or five times. But on the second day, the big servant girl beside the old princess specially sent a letter to Shen Qingru, asking her to calm down in the morning and dusk from today on, and she can't delay one time.

Lvxiu, the servant girl who served Shen Qingru, opened her mouth. The Lord told the girl to take good care of her. How can she say hello three times a day in such a heavy snow and cold day?

Shen Qingru shook her head slightly and stopped the servant girl from blurting out her words.

"I know. From tomorrow on, I will greet the old princess on time." Shen Qingru said faintly.

The big servant girl who came to deliver the letter was timid. She originally thought that Shen Qingru was the Regent's own daughter, but she must also have a spoiled and domineering temper. If she was angry and wanted to deal with herself on the spot, she was afraid that she would become a scapegoat between Shen Qingru and the old princess. However, it seemed that the young lady was very gentle and easy to talk, and she accepted it at once.

You know, Xu Mingzhu never has to be sober in the morning. The old princess sleeps as long as she likes in the morning. When she wakes up, she goes to the old princess's room. Saying hello is just eating snacks and chatting with the old lady in the old lady's house.

The old princess always said that the Regent was biased. Now it seems that the old princess is also biased to the creaking nest. The big servant girl sighed secretly.

The next day, Shen Qingru got up early, accompanied by the servant girl lvxiu, walked through the corridor with thick snow and all the way to the yard where the old lady lived. Green embroidery was afraid that she would be frozen. She specially added an extra dress to her, put on the thick white fox fur cloak sent by Regent Wang gning, and kicked two exquisite silver wire stoves burning red charcoal in her sleeve. Rao was like this. Shen Qingru coughed a few times. Her lungs were injured by the arrow, and she has not recovered so far.

They walked for half an hour before they came to the old lady's yard. Shen Qingru stood under the corridor and looked at the servant girls in the old lady's yard. He smiled and said in a warm voice, "can grandma get up?"

The old imperial concubine is also used to being lazy. At this time, she is sleeping in a hot quilt. When she was called up by the servant girl, she remembered that she asked someone to send a letter to Shen Qingru yesterday to ask her to greet her on time every day in the future. She patted her head, reluctantly got out of the warm quilt, opened her hazy eyes and muttered, "how did she come so early?"

The big servant girl whispered to remind her that Shen Qingru came to greet her on her orders. The old lady yawned and asked her maid to dress herself. Suddenly, she gave a thrill.

"Come on, go and ask someone to call the Pearl."

Shen Qingru came early to say hello. Mingzhu can't sleep until the sun rises. Isn't that a joke for Shen Qingru?

So poor Xu Mingzhu was dug out of the bed, put on clothes, shoes and socks, put on jewelry, and went to the old lady's yard to "say hello". As soon as she went out, the howling cold wind woke Xu Mingzhu, who was bleary eyed, and her mind was full of deep regret.

Why didn't she expect that Shen Qingru would follow her every day?

I knew she wouldn't give the old lady such a bad idea.

Shen Qingru waited patiently in the reception hall for the old lady to finish grooming. The old lady had not finished grooming yet. Instead, she welcomed Xu Mingzhu in a hurry. Seeing her, Xu Mingzhu smiled: "Qingru's sister is also coming."

Shen Qingru smiled at her with a good temper and didn't say a word.

Xu Mingzhu said to herself, "sister Qingru is really a rare guest. In the past, when I came to greet you this morning, I never saw sister Qingru... Why did sister Qingru fall so early today?"

Shen Qingru smiled: "it's not too early. It's almost past Yin time."

Xu Mingzhu was slightly stunned, but she heard the other party smile and say, "I used to be tired and lazy. In the future, I will greet the old princess with sister Mingzhu every day."

in the future? Good day? Isn't she going to get up at midnight?

Xu Mingzhu only felt black in front of her eyes. She bit her teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "so, very good."

After the old lady finished washing, she ordered two people to come in. Seeing Shen Qingru and Xu Mingzhu entering the house together, the old lady smiled warmly: "the sisters are coming together."

Xu Mingzhu's appearance was obviously awakened by the old imperial concubine, but Shen Qingru didn't expose it. She smiled and watched the old imperial concubine and Xu Mingzhu perform.

She and Xu Mingzhu knelt down to greet the old princess in good order, but Shen Qingru could clearly feel that the old princess's attitude towards herself was much colder than in the past. But Xu Mingzhu and the old princess still talk and laugh, a picture of deep affection between grandparents and grandchildren.

The servant girl brought the red ginseng porridge that the old lady often drank. Shen Qingru gently picked it up and was about to put it in front of the old lady, but she heard the old lady suddenly say, "give it to your sister Mingzhu. She has suffered a lot of grievances these days. She has lost both blood and Qi and needs to be mended."

Shen Qingru didn't move with the atherosclerotic bowl.

Seeing this, Shen Qingru hurriedly took red ginseng porridge from her hand and put it in front of Xu Mingzhu: "Princess Mingzhu, please take your time."

Shen Qingru stood for a few seconds, looked at Xu Mingzhu, sometimes bowed her head to eat porridge, sometimes had a close conversation with the old princess, and suddenly wanted to laugh. The old lady reminded her of the old lady of the Shen family. She had sheltered her several times, but when Mrs. Shen's closer granddaughter Zhou Lingyun came, Mrs. Shen did a lot of bad things for Lingyun and wanted to rob her everything and give it to Zhou Lingyun. The old lady and Mrs. Shen are about the same kind of people.

When their interests or the most important person in their heart are not involved, they occasionally release a little kindness to themselves. But when they have a conflict of interest with the most important person in their heart, they will not hesitate to turn to themselves.

Shen Qingru lowered her head to drink porridge and turned a deaf ear to the laughter of the old lady and Xu Mingzhu.

When the old princess saw her silent appearance, she felt even more uncomfortable. After a long time of forbearance, she finally couldn't resist: "Qingru, can you understand that other people's good things are also other people's, no matter how good they are, you can't take the initiative to compete for this truth?"

Shen Qingru was stunned. What does the old lady mean?

Does it blame her for taking away Xu Mingzhu's identity and gning's love?

She suddenly wanted to laugh more. You see, she clearly didn't do anything. In the eyes of the old princess, she was the villain who stole Xu Mingzhu's identity. Just as old lady Shen blamed her for the fact that Xiao Qijun, king of Wu, did not want to marry Zhou Lingyun.

Shen Qingru calmly put down the spoon in her hand and said to the old imperial concubine in a flat tone: "I know this truth, but I don't know the purpose of the imperial concubine's sudden mention of this to me. If you have any dissatisfaction with me, just say it clearly. I really don't need to guess."

Xu Mingzhu was stunned and the old princess was stunned. They didn't expect Shen Qingru's words to be so straightforward.

The girl looked gentle, but she seemed to have a temper.

Shen Qingru politely saluted the old princess and went back to her residence, leaving the old princess and Xu Mingzhu looking at each other.

"She... She's too rude..." Xu Mingzhu came back: "what grandma said, she listened. She was always for her good. How can she refute it directly?"

The old princess didn't know what to say: "Alas, her father spoiled the child..."

However, thinking of Shen Qingru's two coughs before she left, the old lady was a little guilty. The child is weak. If he gets cold again because he came early in the morning, wouldn't Glenn blame himself?

Hum, I'm his mother. Even if it's a little inappropriate, it's not his turn to be a son. The old princess secretly cheered herself up.

Gning came faster than she thought. He heard the servant girl in the house talk about the morning and told him about Qingru's cough in the morning. Gning was so distressed that he didn't even have to change his clothes, so he walked to the old lady's room.

The old imperial concubine looked at her son's face and lifted the tea in her hand with a little guilty: "Why are you here now?"

Gning looked at the old princess for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "mother, I heard you let Qingru calm down every morning and dusk in the future?"

The old imperial concubine said, "that's the etiquette that young people should have. That's why the girl complained to you?"

Gning said positively, "Qingru didn't complain, but his son wanted to ask his mother. His mother had never asked Mingzhu to calm down in the morning before. Why does Qingru suddenly come to say hello in the early morning?"

The old imperial concubine was angered by the tone of gning: "you know it's unfair. Let me ask you, why did you give Qingru a big box of Nanhai Dongzhu, but you didn't expect the Pearl? And about Yuan Yu, dare you say it wasn't you? You looked at Yuan Yu and wanted to rob him to Qingru."

Grinning sneered. He wondered what was in the old lady's mind? Is it a head of straw?

Yuan Yu's ignorant prodigal son is also worthy of his daughter? He doesn't deserve to lift his daughter's shoes!

As for the box of Nanhai Dongzhu, he gave it to Qingru. Why should he level Xu Mingzhu with a bowl of water? What is wrong with his wife's total love? He make complaints about the Qing Dynasty.

"Mother, what's Xu Mingzhu's identity? An abandoned orphan girl, I don't object to your doting on her, but she must not go beyond Qingru. Qingru is my own daughter and the only lady in the Regent's palace, Xu Mingzhu, just an orphan girl you adopted. Her identity can't be comparable to Qingru in any case."

The old princess opened her eyes and wanted to say something angrily, but she was interrupted by gning.

"She has been in the Regent's residence for so many years. She is well dressed and well fed. No one has treated her badly. Do you really think she doesn't have her own relatives? I have found her biological parents for a long time. It's just the Pearl. She is greedy for the wealth of the Regent's residence and doesn't want to recognize her biological parents who are poor and humble. Since you say I'm biased, why don't you ask her if she wants to leave the palace and return to her own life Your own home? If she wants, I'll give her 1000 liang of gold and 10000 pieces of silk and satin. But if she insists on staying here, she must be a low-key person for me and no longer have to pick things in front of you. "

At a glance, gning saw through the old princess's opinion on Shen Qingru. Xu Mingzhu probably played a role in fuelling the fire, which made him more disgusted with Xu Mingzhu.

"Besides, what if I'm eccentric? One is my own daughter who has been separated for many years and suffered a lot. The other is an adopted one who has enjoyed glory and wealth in the government for 20 years. Is it wrong that I'm eccentric about my own daughter?" gning's words made the old Princess speechless.
