Chapter 58: Killing two birds with one stone, even if you don't die, you will lose a layer of skin
The next day.
Deng Youning got up at 3:00 p.m. and dressed herself up.
Now that she has been conferred the title of county princess, her makeup is more complicated than that of an ordinary girl.
Regarding the assassination of Jun Chenyi last night, Han Qiongyue also sent someone to look for Li Qinghuan in the morning.
Although she believed there must be a misunderstanding, she would never let anyone who dared to assassinate her nephew and grandson go easily.
The actual palace banquet does not begin until the evening, but guests can enter the palace at any time of the day.
Everyone in the Deng family left early, saying that the carriage was too small to accommodate them.
It just so happened that Han Qiongyue and Deng Youning were not interested in riding in the same car with them.
The Deng family left very early.
But there were many people who arrived earlier than them, all of them were court officials and their families who wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with the emperor.
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had no successor and seemed to be in decline, but Deng Zheng was quite popular and was surrounded by several ministers as soon as he entered the palace.
Gu herself was a transformation drama of a girl from a humble family rising to the top of the social ladder. Moreover, she was very good at taming her husband. For so many years, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion did not even have a concubine.
As soon as she arrived, she was surrounded by noble ladies who all wanted to learn from her experience.
Deng Xuelian was looking for the prince among the crowd.
However, she didn't expect that she was spotted by He Xiangzhe who had been waiting for her.
"Sister Lian'er, why have you ignored me at the recent banquets?"
"Could it be that you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
He looked at Deng Xuelian like a young wife vying for favor.
Halfway through his words, Deng Xuelian blocked his mouth.
There are so many people here, and if he talks about his relationship with the prince, isn't that just destroying her innocence?
"Brother Zhe, let's go to the back and talk."
Deng Xuelian pulled He Xiangzhe to a deserted place and asked Deng Yi to keep watch for them.
The prince of the Duke's Mansion, who was no different from a slave in front of Deng Xuelian, was eager to help Deng Xuelian.
"Brother Zhe, I'm sorry that you gave your true love to the wrong person."
"You were already engaged to my sister, and now that she's back, I can't snatch you from her."
"I will always consider you my brother. I wish you and my second sister can get married soon."
This person is a bad person who doesn't do good things. In just a few words, he blamed Deng Youning for all the reasons why he rejected He Xiangzhe.
Her words seemed to have magical power, guiding He Xiangzhe to suspect that the reason why Deng Xuelian ignored him must be Deng Youning's doing.
"This vicious woman is really ruthless!"
"That's not right. She asked me to stay away from her on the day of the bear feast?"
"Could it be that you are playing hard to get and deliberately keeping me in suspense?"
He Xiangzhe muttered in a low voice.
When Deng Xuelian heard what he said, a hint of annoyance flashed across her brows.
She lied to get He Xiangzhe away, "Brother Zhe, my mother just said she wanted to see you."
Pushing his elders over, He Xiangzhe couldn't refuse, "Okay, I'll go first and come back to you later."
He left reluctantly.
Seeing him walk away, Deng Yi stepped forward and said to Deng Xuelian, "Lian'er, if you want to marry into the Eastern Palace smoothly, you must break up with He Xiangzhe completely!"
Deng Xuelian nodded in agreement.
During this period of time, I have been trying to persuade Jun Wen to resign, but he has not proposed to me yet.
She suspected that Jun Wenci might be wary of her relationship with He Xiangzhe, and she had to deal with him as soon as possible!
With a turn of her eyes, she had already thought of a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
"Brother, the relationship between Second Sister and Brother Zhe doesn't seem to be very good. Why don't we help them tonight?"
Deng Xuelian had a kind smile on her face.
As he spoke, he took out a small yellow paper bag and handed it to Deng Yi.
Deng Yi opened it and sniffed it, a smile spreading across his face.
Having long been drained of his body by alcohol and sex, he certainly knew what this was.
"Tonight, let them make it a done deal!"
He smiled grimly and took out the cartilage powder that he had not used up last time. He gave one to He Xiangzhe and the other to deal with Deng Youning.
"They did such a shameful thing on the night of the Emperor's birthday banquet. They will be punished at least for their lives!"
He looked at the two kinds of medicine in his hand viciously. He had already imagined Deng Youning's look when she begged for mercy.
The revenge for the broken arm has finally been taken!
*
Deng Youning and Han Qiongyue were not in a hurry to attend the banquet so early.
It was already afternoon when they were about to go out.
After having lunch and taking a nap, I feel refreshed and full of energy.
Only in this way can we face those rubbish at the banquet.
Just before they set off, they met Jun Chenyi at the door.
Although he did not admit it, Deng Youning and Han Qiongyue could see that he came specifically to bring them and their grandchildren into the palace.
He went to his fiefdom when he was less than fifteen years old and stayed there for eight years. During this period, he never returned to Beijing openly.
"Yier, you've grown up!"
Han Qiongyue was very surprised and relieved when she saw Jun Chenyi, who had grown into a man of his own ability.
The last time I saw him secretly was when he was just a 20-year-old.
"My great-aunt is still strong and healthy."
"My nephew would like to congratulate my aunt and grandmother for finding my cousin Ningning."
Han Qiongyue smiled happily.
It feels so good to have all the grandchildren around!
"How many days can you stay this time?"
She asked Jun Chenyi reluctantly, in the eyes of outsiders, the Ninth Prince had been in his fiefdom for eight years and had never returned to Beijing, maybe the Emperor could allow him to stay for a few more days?
“I’m not leaving!”
Jun Chenyi's answer surprised Han Qiongyue and Deng Youning.
He told the grandfather and grandson that the emperor had asked him to supervise all officials, and everyone instantly understood why he was assassinated last night.
"Alas, it is a blessing, not a curse. Everything has its destiny!"
Han Qiongyue took the Buddhist beads and fiddled with them silently.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Her ability is limited, and no matter how much she worries, it will be of no use.
I hope Yier’s official position and Ningning’s title will not become their death warrant!
The first thing the Deng family’s grandparents and grandchildren did when they entered the palace was to meet the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother had already informed Han Qiongyue and wanted to meet Deng Youning.
Jun Chenyi said goodbye to them at the palace gate.
Yongshou Palace.
The two of them bowed to the Queen Mother together, "Your Highness, your Highness, pays respect to the Queen Mother."
"Old sister, don't be so polite, sit down quickly and let these young people stand."
The Queen Mother asked her personal nanny to help Han Qiongyue sit next to her.
"Then you're welcome, sister!"
Han Qiongyue was very familiar with the Queen Mother, and they were close friends who had not seen each other for a long time.
One is guarding the Duke's Mansion; the other is trapped in the deep palace. The little moments of their youth can be recalled but cannot be retrieved.
"Is this your newly found granddaughter?"
"Come here, kid. Let me take a closer look."
The Queen Mother noticed Deng Youning and waved to her hurriedly.
She was wearing a light blue wide-sleeved shirt today, and her shawl was inlaid with pearls. This was the dress the emperor had given her that day.
With a jasmine flower crown on her bun, her posture and overall combination make the elegant and luxurious pearl makeup look fresh and refined on her face.
The Queen Mother found her particularly pleasing to the eye, and completely different from the noble ladies in the capital.
When Jun Chenyi saw it this morning, his eyes lit up as well.
“That’s great!”
She couldn't help but exclaim again.
She knew that Qiong Yue's granddaughter would have the character of her grandmother, and Zhuo'er's vision would not be bad either!
She asked the nanny beside her to fetch a golden phoenix hairpin to give to Deng Youning as a gift.
"Queen Mother, this is too precious!"
The phoenix hairpin was what the empress dowager wore when she got married. It was a set of three pieces, two hairpins on the left and right, and a phoenix crown in the middle.
What she is going to give to Deng Youning now is the one on the right.
"I like this child. It's the first time we meet, so why wouldn't an elder give him a gift?"
The Queen Mother shook her head at Han Qiongyue and told her to stop persuading her.
