Chapter 198

198 near death

Xu Mingzhu made trouble for several times and gradually felt the smell. The old princess really didn't treat her as affectionate as before, or even a lot colder. Don't even want her now?

She took the old princess as her real grandmother and the Regent as her biological father. Did they abandon her because she was not related by blood?

No matter what she does now, she is wrong. Even her father halved her expenses and maidservants. The old princess only said faintly that she shouldn't waste so much. She should learn like Qingru's sister.

Xu Mingzhu is almost dead. According to her past temper, she has long been coquettish and crazy in front of the old princess. However, this time, she just walked out of the old princess's yard in silence.

The servants and maidservants in the house come and go. When they pass by her, they no longer salute with fear and respect as before. Xu Mingzhu can hear their laughter, and even their eyes are full of contempt.

"He's just an abandoned baby. I don't know what shit luck he took to get the name of a princess. Now that the genuine princess is back, what face does this Xibei have to stay in the house?"

Xu Mingzhu wanted to point at the servants who looked down on people and let them know the end of angering her Princess Mingzhu. However, even though she was so angry, she held it back. Even her own heart knew that this time was different from the past.

The only thing she can do is to hold on to her life-saving straw, the old princess, and try not to provoke Shen Qingru. Only by making gning forget her existence can she stay in the palace.

At this time the year before last, those two middle-aged men and women dressed in rags and dressed like beggars appeared in front of them for no reason. The female beggar looked at herself and cried bitterly. Xu Mingzhu impolitely asked the two men to break their legs and drive them out. The female beggar suddenly claimed to be her mother and said that she was sorry for her.

Xu Mingzhu knew from childhood that she was the princess of the Regent's house. How could she have such a pair of beggar parents? She ordered the housekeeper to drag the two people who offended her out and beat them to death. However, the housekeeper hesitated and told her that these two people were indeed her biological parents.

"The LORD sent someone to let them meet princess Mingzhu and ask her if she would like to go back with them?" the housekeeper told her.

Of course, Xu Mingzhu doesn't want to go back. She's used to the life of rich clothes and food. How can she endure the days of poverty? Like a pampered orchid, it was suddenly sent to the pigsty. Can this orchid still live?

She kicked the beggar couple out and ordered them never to come again. The middle-aged man looked embarrassed and left. The ragged woman looked at her nostalgically, with a sad look in her eyes.

”If I hadn't gone back to my mother's house at that time, I wouldn't have let him lose you... "She muttered.

Xu Mingzhu pretended not to hear. Afterwards, the woman sent some food and clothes many times. It seemed that they were made by herself and the workmanship was fine. Xu Mingzhu still didn't look at it and directly ordered people to throw it away.

She never wanted to have anything to do with these people in her life.

Although she succeeded in making the old lady treat her the same as before, the old lady no longer only loved her as before. Whatever she gave her, she would give it to Shen Qingru as it was. Even the old lady deliberately turned out a lot of good things from her warehouse and gave them to Shen Qingru as a remedy for the last greeting incident. Xu Mingzhu saw it in her eyes, but said a word I dare not say more.

Xu Mingzhu's melancholy mood lasted until the queen called the noble women of all houses into the palace to enjoy the plum blossoms. Gning pushed away on the pretext that Shen Qingru was weak and could not see the wind, so Xu Mingzhu entered the palace alone.

She rarely had a chance to continue to show off and wear more magnificent clothes than before. The old princess knew she was going to enter the palace and specially gave her a lot of new jewelry. Xu Mingzhu chose a jade hairpin inlaid with colorful glass and a pair of golden pure gold arms. Two strings of bright night pearls were hung on her ears.

The bright red Jintong embroidered silk and satin jacket set off her skin more and more white, and exquisite bamboo embroidery was embroidered on her cuffs. Xu Mingzhu always likes bright red best. In her opinion, this color is as proud and publicized as her character.

The old lady looked at Xu Mingzhu with joy. Xu Mingzhu's face was gorgeous. Such a dress was radiant. The old lady couldn't help nodding and praising.

Naturally, the girls in her Regent's Palace are more competitive than other noble women. The old lady's heart faintly rises a trace of pride, but she thinks of Shen Qingru.

The child always likes plain dress, and her appearance is only pure and beautiful. She may not be outstanding among the noble women. However, her noble and elegant demeanor and elegant conversation are also quite eye-catching in the crowd and will never lose to other noble women.

The two golden flowers in her Regent's house are really outstanding. The old princess smiled proudly and straightened the creases on Xu Mingzhu's sleeve.

After leaving the Regent's residence, Xu Mingzhu released herself like a bird out of a cage. She met several noble women she had always known in the palace. Xu Mingzhu was chatting vigorously with the daughter of the Minister of rites, but there was a female voice behind the rockery.

"She really thinks she is the princess of the Regent's residence, and has the face to come out so brazenly... Tut Tut, she has a thick skin..."

"Hee hee, I'm just an abandoned baby, born in a humble family. Others haven't said anything yet. I've picked up the princess's spectrum, and I'm not afraid others will laugh off their big teeth..."

Xu Mingzhu's face was hot and she bit her lower lip. She always had the best face. If someone dared to say that she was not at all, Xu Mingzhu would come forward and fight with that person! How could she stand being said like that?

The daughter of the Minister of rites looked at Xu Mingzhu's red and white face and politely said to her, "I have something else to do. I'm afraid I have to go first. Princess, stay."

Xu Mingzhu looked coldly at the hurried back. Is this the sister who has a good relationship with her?

She stood in the wind for a long time and her hands were numb with cold. Then she turned out behind the rockery with an ugly face. But suddenly a voice came from behind: "sister Mingzhu, why are you here?"

The voice was frivolous and smooth. Xu Mingzhu subconsciously looked up and looked at her. A young man dressed in a mess smiled and looked at her: "long time no see, sister Mingzhu."

Xu Mingzhu subconsciously stepped back two steps. This man is Du zapeng, the third son of the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, a famous dissolute. Although Du zapeng likes to hang around with your daughter, he never dares to provoke Princess Mingzhu.

"Sister Mingzhu, don't be afraid... Brother, I just want to talk to you." Du zapeng approached with a smile.

"Go away, I have nothing to say to you." Xu Mingzhu said coldly.

Du zapeng was not annoyed. He took out a thing from the brocade bag at his waist and stuffed it into Xu Mingzhu's hand: "I heard that sister Mingzhu has been very unhappy recently. My brother is very worried. He specially asked his mother to go to the Gaye temple to ask for an amulet to give sister Mingzhu to you. I hope my sister will turn bad luck into good luck in case of difficulties."

Du zapeng came up to grab the soft little hand. Xu Mingzhu twisted her body and stared at him with hate: "Du zapeng, dare you move your dog's paw again! See if my Regent's house won't interrupt your two dog legs!"

After all, Du zapeng was captured by Xu Mingzhu. He was slightly stunned, but he was still approaching step by step. He smiled and said, "sister Mingzhu has great confidence. I heard that the Regent's biological daughter has been found. She is a direct blood. You are just an abandoned baby. What's the confidence of sister Mingzhu that the Regent will take care of you and me?"

Xu Mingzhu bit her lower lip and said nothing. Everyone in the capital knew her situation. She had long been the laughing stock of the population, but she came to the banquet like a fool!

Du zapeng was stunned when he saw her pale face. He thought there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. He flew off guard and threw Xu Mingzhu to the ground. Xu Mingzhu still had time to scream. Two cherry lips were kissed by a pair of greasy mouths.

The other party held her soft body and rolled on the snow. Although Xu Mingzhu learned some tripod Kung Fu, it was completely useless in front of strong men such as Du zapeng. Du zapeng felt the thief's hand on Xu Mingzhu's slender waist. Xu Mingzhu was ashamed and angry, but she couldn't move. Xu Mingzhu couldn't move at all. Two lines of clear tears fell down along her beautiful face.

Is her innocence going to be destroyed by this bastard today?

"Who's there?" he shouted angrily and interrupted Du zapeng, who was in high spirits. Du zapeng looked back and saw that he was vaguely like a palace maid. He was standing behind the rockery. He didn't want to be spoiled by this man. He tore off his jade pendant and threw it over: "I'm the childe of the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment. Please go to the palace lady for convenience."

Xu Mingzhu struggled to call for help. Her voice was hoarse and couldn't make a sound. Du zapeng's thief hand was still on her chest. She was angry and wanted to die in shame and anger.

The maid picked up the jade pendant on the ground, looked down and got up to leave. Xu Mingzhu closed her eyes in despair.

"Little darling, just follow me. Even if you break your throat today, no one will save you." Du zapeng kissed her pink face with a smile.

"The empress Fengjia again, the third childe still won't stop!" a sharp voice suddenly remembered that Du zapeng was suddenly surprised. Is it empress Yan Ru coming? He quickly stood up and put Xu Mingzhu's clothes on her: "The queen asked, do you know what to say? It doesn't matter if I'm a man. As an unmarried girl, you should consider your reputation."

Xu Mingzhu bit her lower lip, trembled and wrapped her clothes tighter, as if this could stop the fear in her heart
