Chapter 41: Danger outside the palace? The famous scene of turning over and carrying the princess
Because she wasted time on this matter, she hurried all the way, but always felt that she was too late. On the road, she saw Ling Buyi, who was talking to an adult. She gestured, pointing to the garden, and then to the Shao Shang string on Ling Buyi's wrist.
General Ling, please be more careful.
Ling Buyi suddenly understood what she meant, and thought that this person always knew what was going to happen in advance, so he hurriedly ran a few steps.
He Zhaojun was also running behind, but unfortunately the dress was too heavy for her to take a quick step. When she arrived, she only saw Shao Shang's shoes kicked away by the Fifth Princess's men, and the ground was littered with broken pottery shards from flowerpots.
"Stop!" She tried to stop him and came over to support Shao Shang, but before she got close, she saw the Fifth Princess ordering people to push Shao Shang from behind. Seeing that Shao Shang was about to fall on the pottery shards, He Zhaojun's heart was in her throat.
Someone rushed out from beside her like a gust of wind and held Shao Shang in his arms steadily. Ling Buyi held Shao Shang in his arms, looked at these people coldly, put Shao Shang aside, picked up his shoes, and put them on Shao Shang himself.
Ling Buyi stomped hard on the pottery shards on the ground, then stood firmly before the princesses, his face stern and his aura terrifying. The fifth princess looked terrified: "Ling Zisheng, what are you going to do?"
"I've heard that the Emperor has found a consort from the Yue family for the Fifth Princess. He's a man of great character and rare talent, and a perfect match for the Fifth Princess. Zisheng is here to congratulate you in advance!"
The Fifth Princess hated it most when people used marriage as a sore spot. Anger suddenly appeared on her face: "You, you dare to laugh at me?!"
The Third Princess had already felt a surge of jealousy when she saw Ling Buyi putting shoes on Cheng Shaoshang, but due to her status, she dared not show it and whispered his name: "Zisheng..."
Ling Zisheng was also merciless: "When the Third Princess married the Prince of Xuanhou, I was still away on a campaign and was unable to offer my congratulations in time. Here, I offer my belated congratulations."
He stood in front alone and confronted everyone. He Zhaojun was happy to be idle. She watched Shao Shang pick up the cake on the ground and was pulled into the hall by Ling Zisheng.
Several princesses and Wang Yan wanted to stop them, but seeing this, He Zhaojun stepped forward, stood in front of the two princesses, and bowed slightly.
"Princesses, the family dinner ordered by His Majesty is about to begin. Please return to your seats. I will have someone clean the place right away. It would be terrible if the Queen or Concubine Yue were hurt." She spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly until Shao Shang sat down steadily.
The Fifth Princess always looked down on everyone, not even He Zhaojun. However, He Zhaojun was now the concubine of Yue, and she would not take action herself because of her title.
"Sister, this is someone from your Yongle Palace, so I won't interfere. However, I heard that she is good at trying to please Concubine Yue. She took advantage of you and my third brother's absence to say bad things about you all day long."
The Fifth Princess was already very good at sowing discord, and what's more, the Third Princess had just been hurt by Ling Buyi and had no place to vent her anger, so she naturally had no intention of letting He Zhaojun go.
The Third Princess raised her lips and said, "Since you're worried about hurting Mother and the Queen, how can you feel at ease if you ask someone else to clean up? I think it's up to you, He Zhaojun, to do it yourself."
Seeing He Zhaojun lowering her head and saying nothing, she felt happy for a moment and signaled the people around her to hold down He Zhaojun's arms and press her hands onto the broken pottery.
"Why, even Cheng Shaoshang knew to call for help, but do you have anyone to help you? I told you not to mind your own business!"
