Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 295

[Chapter 295: Sharing Difficulties]

The news that Lin Xiu, the son of the Marquis of Ping’an, was imprisoned in a palace in the central palace for reflection because of a mistaken identity and accidentally slapped the Crown Princess, soon spread in the capital.

The incident happened at the gate of the palace. At that time, in addition to a few guards, there were many people who saw it from a distance.

Although Lin Xiu said it was a mistake, anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was impossible to make a mistake.

The palace maids, female officials, and clothing and accessories in the palace are all regulated. What the Crown Princess wears and wears is obviously a noble lady, not like a palace maid at all. Unless he is blind, he will mistake the Crown Princess for a palace maid.

The words that the Crown Princess mocked them at the gate of the palace also spread.

From the perspective of etiquette, she was right. Lin Xiu and others should have saluted the Crown Prince as soon as they saw him.

It’s just that her words were a little harsh.

Calling someone for having no mother right at the beginning, anyone with a little blood can’t stand it.

But she has been bullying Princess Minghe for a long time.

Princess Minghe’s mother, Concubine De, died very early. The children of the powerful families in the capital went to school and played together with the princes and princesses since childhood. At that time, Princess Minghe was bullied by the legitimate daughters of the top powerful families because she had no mother.

Among them, the Crown Princess was the worst. She was the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family. The Zhang family was more powerful than it is now. Even if the princess was bullied, she had to swallow her anger.

Later, she married the prince, who was her cousin, and became the Crown Princess. In the future, she would firmly sit on the throne of the queen, and she would not take the princess seriously.

But she should never scold Lin Xiu.

Who has he been afraid of in the past two years?

Including His Majesty, there are few people in the capital who can not give face to the Zhang family and the crown prince, but not including Lin Xiu. He dared to take Zhang Jing to the government office before, and slapped the Crown Princess. What’s the matter?

Not long ago, the major wealthy families in the capital suffered a dumb loss in his hands in the matter of Jiangnan, but they didn’t say a word?

But that was a hidden loss. This time, he slapped the Crown Princess directly, but he directly trampled on the face of the Zhang family and the Crown Prince. Even the royal family was a little embarrassed. No one knew whether there would be any follow-up developments.

Shanglin Garden.

After learning the news, Ping’an Hou and Wu’an Hou and their wives hurried over and learned the cause of the matter from Lingyin.

Zhou Yun showed a worried look on her face and said, “It’s over, it’s over. Why is Xiu’er so impulsive? She is the Crown Princess, and she is still a member of the Zhang family…”

Zhao Lingyin snorted and said, “Who told her to scold my aunt and my mother? My brother-in-law was so angry that he took action.”

Zhou Yun smiled bitterly and said, “She scolded me. She scolded us, and we didn’t lose a piece of meat. This time, not only offended the Crown Prince and the Zhang family, but also offended the Queen…”

Wu’an Hou’s wife also said, “When he comes back tomorrow, you can persuade Xiu’er to stop being so impulsive in the future…”

Although she said so, the two ladies felt warm in their hearts.

As mothers, with such a son and son-in-law, what else do they have to regret?

They couldn’t help but look at their husbands.

In front of those nobles, I’m afraid their husbands would not defend them so much.

Xue Mansion.

Xue Ning’er pestered Old Duke Xue and said, “Grandpa, you go and beg His Majesty for mercy…”

Old Duke Xue looked at her helplessly and said, “Can’t you see that His Majesty is protecting him? If others dare to slap the Crown Princess, they will either be beheaded or have their hands chopped off. He is fine, but he was only locked up for one day. How can such a good thing happen?”

Xue Ning’er wanted to cry but had no tears.

Having said that, tonight, it was originally his turn to sleep with her…

She had waited for two days, but he was kept in the palace and couldn’t come out. She had to wait another day.

At this time, she began to miss the days in Jiangnan very much.

It’s all the Crown Princess’ fault!

At the same time, at the palace gate.

The Royal Concubine got off the sedan chair and looked up at the tall and majestic palace gate. She hadn’t stepped into this cage for a long time. Just approaching here would give her a feeling of depression.

But she still stepped in without hesitation.

Soon, in the imperial study, Emperor Xia looked at her and said helplessly: “Mingzhu is here to plead for him, too? Do you want me to let him go?”

Although the Imperial Concubine did not speak, her meaning was very clear.

Emperor Xia sighed and said: “It’s just a day of confinement. I have already protected him very much. No matter what, he really beat the Crown Princess. I have to give an explanation to the Queen and the Zhang family. I even had to agree to some unreasonable requests from the Queen to let her stop…”

In order to prevent the Queen from pursuing the matter, he promised her that he would sleep at her place for the next three days. His sacrifice was also great.

The Imperial Concubine did not insist any more. After thinking for a while, she said: “Then I will go to see him.”

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said: “Zhu Jin, take the Queen to the Siguo Hall.”

The Siguo Hall is a palace in the Central Palace. As the name suggests, the function of this palace is to let the princes and princesses who have made mistakes reflect on their mistakes behind closed doors. Many royal children have a big psychological shadow here.

Lin Xiu sat cross-legged on the futon in the middle of the hall. The whole hall was empty, except for the walls, a few pillars in the hall, and the futon he was sitting on. It was lonely to stay here alone.

He still had to spend another night here.

However, he was exhausted from their practice these days, so he took this opportunity to give himself a break.

Even here, Lin Xiu had several abilities that he could practice, such as telekinesis, illusion, and space. He could practice them anytime and anywhere. He was free anyway, so he closed his eyes and began to meditate. At

a certain moment, the door of the hall opened from the outside. Lin Xiu opened his eyes, turned around, and said in surprise, “My queen, why are you here?”

The imperial concubine walked up to him and said, “I heard that you beat the crown princess and were put in solitary confinement by His Majesty, so I came to see you.”

Lin Xiu said embarrassedly, “My queen also heard about it…”

The imperial concubine glanced at him and said, “Not only do I know, but the whole capital knows about it.”

Lin Xiu said, “Isn’t this a mistake…”

The Imperial Concubine did not expose him. She quietly took out a paper bag from her wide sleeves and handed it to Lin Xiu.

After Lin Xiu took it, he murmured, “Your Majesty, this is…”

The Imperial Concubine lowered her voice and said, “Shh, keep your voice down. No one will bring you food during confinement. I picked out some cakes that you like. You hide them in your sleeves. Use them as a snack when you are hungry…”

Lin Xiu hid the paper bag. The Imperial Concubine was the most considerate.

Although he would not starve to death for ten days or half a month, he would still feel uncomfortable if he did not eat for a meal.

However, looking at the Imperial Concubine, it seems that she is not unfamiliar with confinement.

In the imperial study, Zhu Jin walked in and said to Emperor Xia, “Your Majesty, the Empress has left the palace.”

Emperor Xia asked, “Did she secretly pass cakes to Lin Xiu?”

Zhu Jin nodded.

Emperor Xia sighed lightly, and couldn’t help but think of the time when he was a child, he fought with other powerful people for a few girls. His father punished him to be confined in the Siguo Palace, and she secretly sent him cakes to eat under the pretext of visiting.

After so many years, she has not changed at all.

At this time, Princess Minghe walked in from outside. Emperor Xia saw her and said immediately without waiting for her to speak: “Don’t plead for him. Just lock him up for one day. I have taken good care of him.”

Princess Minghe shook her head and said: “I am not pleading for him.” Emperor

Xia thought for a while and said: “The 400,000 taels of silver will be owed first. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is not well-off…”

Princess Minghe said: “I will pay back the money slowly.”

Emperor Xia asked in confusion: “Do you have anything else to ask me?”

Princess Minghe said: “This matter was caused by me, and I am also responsible. Father, please punish me to be confined for one day. I want to be locked up with him.”

If she can’t save him, she would rather be punished with him.

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, “I’m already annoyed enough, so don’t make trouble for me. It was Lin Xiu who did it, not you. Why should I care about you?”

Princess Minghe thought about it, didn’t say anything, and turned to leave.

At this time, in the harem.

The Crown Princess came out of the Queen’s Yongning Palace angrily. The Queen used to be her aunt, and now she is her mother, but she was slapped, and she was unwilling to help her.

Her chest was heaving, and the hatred in her heart was already overwhelming. She gritted her teeth and said, “I want to go home, I want that person to pay the price!”

The prince stood beside her and didn’t say a word.

If she could get the Zhang family to take action, he would also like to see it.

Damn Lin Xiu, the prince watched him grow up with his own eyes.

At the beginning, when the two met in the harem, he still respectfully called him His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and was very enthusiastic about him.

Now that he has grown wings, he doesn’t take him, the Crown Prince

, seriously. Not only did he not salute him, he even dared to slap the Crown Princess. I don’t know how arrogant he will be in the future.

At this time, a figure walked out of a palace. The Crown Princess saw her, stepped forward quickly, and said angrily: “Li Jing, tell that bastard Lin Xiu…”

Snap!

Before she finished her words, a crisp sound came from the air again.

The half of the Crown Princess’s face that was hit by Lin Xiu was still swollen and looked a little asymmetrical. Princess Minghe’s slap hit the other half of her face, and her other half of her face also swelled up. It was a little swollen, but it was more symmetrical.

Princess Minghe looked at her and said lightly: “Don’t scold my friends.”

After that, she stopped looking at the Crown Princess’ shocked and angry expression, left the harem, and came to the imperial study. Emperor Xia had just sat down and saw her come in. He said helplessly: “Why are you here again?”

Princess Minghe looked at him and said: “You can lock me up now.”

After a while, Emperor Xia rubbed his eyebrows and murmured: “You two can’t bully her alone…”

…

Reflection Hall.

Lin Xiu sat cross-legged on the futon, secretly eating the cakes given to him by the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine really understood his taste and picked out the cakes he liked. Lin Xiu had never told the Imperial Concubine what he liked to eat. It might be that when he was at Murong’s house, he ate a few cakes more among the pile of cakes, and the Imperial Concubine noticed it.

There was another sound at the door, and Lin Xiu quickly swallowed the cake in his mouth and hid the rest in his arms.

He looked back and found that it was Princess Minghe who came.

He thought Princess Minghe came to see him, but after Princess Minghe came in, the two guards closed the door again.

Lin Xiu said in surprise: “This is…”

Princess Minghe said: “I also slapped the Crown Princess.”

Lin Xiu and her looked at each other, and everything was self-evident.

Good brothers may not share happiness, but they must share difficulties.

Lin Xiu took out the cake given to him by the Imperial Concubine from his arms and asked: “Want a piece?”
