Chapter 116: Command
Chen Tang also remembered that it was Princess Roujia's carriage. How could the horses be frightened for no reason? Thinking of the last time she and Shen Luo frightened the horses and fell all over the carriage, Chen Tang broke out in a cold sweat for Princess Roujia.
The carriage was moving very fast and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye, leaving behind a chaotic street and swearing pedestrians.
Chen Tang was worried and wanted to ask a servant to go over and take a look. When he ordered the servant, he happened to see Xiao Huan riding a horse coming from a road. He saw Chen Tang, and Chen Tang happened to see him as well. He held back the words "brother" that were on the tip of his tongue, but couldn't hold back the rest of the words, and said anxiously, "Princess Roujia of Prince Duan's Mansion is frightened by her horse, go and save her."
Chen Tang raised his hand and pointed, Xiao Huan kicked his horse's belly and chased in the direction Chen Tang pointed.
Watching Xiao Huan go to save Princess Roujia, Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief. Since Xie Guimo was able to save her and Shen Luo, Xiao Huan's martial arts should be comparable to Xie Guimo's, and he would definitely be able to save Princess Roujia as well.
Xiao Huan rode away on his horse, and Chen Tang retracted her gaze, only to see Chen Xian, Chen Ran, and Chen Luo, six eyes staring at her.
Chen Tang felt uncomfortable being looked at, so Chen Xian said, "How dare you order Prince Ning to rescue Princess Roujia!"
What’s weird is that Prince Ning actually went there.
Who is Prince Ning, to listen to Chen Tang so much?
Saving lives is like saving fire. Chen Tang didn't think too much about it. She said, "How can I order Prince Ning around? I just told him..."
Chen Xi said, "We are not deaf. You clearly asked Prince Ning to rescue Princess Roujia."
Chen Tang was still worried about the safety of Princess Roujia, so he said, "I called her, it's no big deal, I'm not asking Prince Ning to do anything bad."
Saving people is certainly not a bad thing, but the problem is, what right does she, Chen Tang, have to order the Prince of Ning around? The Prince of Ning is the only grandson of the old Prince Ning. If something happens while saving people, can she afford it? !
It would have been fine if Prince Ning had saved her once, but Old Prince Ning asked to marry her, but she refused and even asked Prince Ning to save people. When Prince Ning met her, he was truly unlucky for several lifetimes.
Chen Xian and the others all looked condemning, thinking that Chen Tang shouldn't meddle in other people's business, but Chen Tang felt that he did nothing wrong. Old Prince Ning and Old Princess Ning were old, and Old Prince Ning was fine, but Old Princess Ning could only go out a few times a year. Princess Jingyang and Princess Duan often went to chat with Old Princess Ning to relieve her boredom. Even if it was just to repay Princess Duan's favor, if Princess Roujia was in danger, Xiao Huan, as the grandson of Old Prince Ning, should go to save her.
Besides, she believed that with her eldest brother's martial arts, he would be fine. Even if he was slightly injured, Prince Ning would not blame her, and neither would her father. What was she afraid of?
The person she was ordering around was not someone else, but her own elder brother.
Seeing that Chen Tang refused to admit her fault, Chen Xian wanted to scold her, but Chen Ran stopped her and said, "Prince Ning is very skilled in martial arts, he will definitely be able to save Princess Roujia."
Chen Xian also knew that Xiao Huan could save Princess Roujia, but Princess Roujia was originally closer to Chen Tang, which made Chen Xian jealous. If she added another half-life-saving grace, she would only have eyes for Chen Tang.
Chen Xian said to Chen Tang, "You'd better pray that Prince Ning is okay. If anything happens to him, I wonder if Grandmother will punish you!"
After saying this, Chen Xian walked away.
After such a hard time coming out, they would definitely not just buy rouge and powder, but also girls' favorite silks, satins and jewelry. Just this street is enough for them to spend half a day shopping.
Chen Xian went to the silk shop, and Chen Tang was dragged there by Chen Luo. They picked up a piece of silk each and were about to come out when two girls came in. One of them said, "It was really thrilling. If Prince Ning hadn't arrived in time, Princess Roujia would have died there today."
Chen Ran glanced at Chen Xian and Chen Tang, and asked the girl, "Did Prince Ning save Princess Roujia?"
The girl nodded, "It was a close call. The carriage lost control and crashed onto the bridge, and Princess Roujia was thrown out of the carriage. If Prince Ning hadn't caught her in time, she would have hit her head on the bridge and was bleeding."
With such a strong impact, she would most likely have been killed on the spot. Princess Roujia is truly lucky.
Chen Xian asked, "Are Prince Ning and Princess Roujia all right?"
The girl said, "Princess Roujia is fine. Prince Ning rescued Princess Roujia but lost control of his strength and hit his back on the bridge, vomiting blood..."
Chen Tang, "..."
Shen Xian glanced at Shen Tang.
Whatever happened to Princess Roujia had nothing to do with them, but Prince Ning was sent by Chen Tang to rescue Princess Roujia. If anything went wrong, it would be Chen Tang's fault. Just wait and see how her grandmother would scold her when she returned.
Chen Xi was in a good mood and continued shopping.
I went home only after I was tired of shopping.
Songhe Hall.
The old lady was sitting on the couch eating bird's nest soup. The third wife came in and said, "It's not safe to go out on the street these days. Luo'er and the second girl scared horses on the street a few days ago, and just now Princess Roujia of Prince Duan's Mansion scared a carriage. If Prince Ning hadn't rescued them in time, they would have died."
The old lady put down the half-eaten bird's nest soup, wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "Prince Ning is really good. He saved Tang'er a few days ago, and today he saved Princess Roujia..."
Before the old lady finished speaking, she was interrupted by Shen Xi who walked in, "Grandmother, do you know how Prince Ning saved Princess Roujia?"
With just one sentence, everyone in the room was attracted to him.
Chen Xi said, "After we had chosen our rouge and powder, we came out of the Rouge Pavilion, and Princess Roujia's carriage just happened to pass by. When Second Sister saw Prince Ning, she asked him to save Princess Roujia without a second thought. Princess Roujia was saved by Prince Ning, and she is safe. However, Prince Ning was injured and vomited blood while saving Princess Roujia, and I'm afraid he was seriously injured."
The old lady's brows were knotted. She looked at Chen Tang, "You ordered Prince Ning to rescue people?"
The Second Wife fanned the flames, saying, "Prince Ning is the lifeblood of old Prince Ning and old Princess Ning. In order to choose a princess for him, the palace made such a big scene. How dare you ask Prince Ning to help you save someone, causing Prince Ning to be injured. It's fine if he's not seriously injured, but if anything happens, old Prince Ning and old Princess Ning won't be able to bear the blow. If the emperor gets angry, our entire Pingyuan Marquisate will suffer!"
Chen Xian said, "Grandmother, you don't know how casually the second sister orders the Prince of Ning, just like she orders her own eldest brother. I told her she shouldn't do that, but she even talked back to me. If you don't believe me, you can ask the third and fourth sisters. If I don't punish her severely, there will definitely be a next time."
The old lady looked at Shen Ran and Shen Luo, and the two of them didn't say anything, but she knew that what Shen Xian said was true.
Saving lives is a good thing, but if you cannot save them yourself, you should not ask others to do such a thing.
Fortunately, she still thought that Chen Tang was much more sensible than before. Is this what a sensible person would do? "Go to the Buddhist temple and kneel down to reflect on yourself."
Chen Tang did not defend herself, she stood up, bowed and stepped back.
Seeing her not daring to speak, Chen Xi and the Second Madam, who had been feeling depressed for more than two months, felt relieved.
But this good mood didn't last long. Before they left Songhe Hall, the maid came in to report to the old lady, "Old lady, the marquis returned home and learned that you punished the second young lady to kneel in the Buddhist hall, so he let the second young lady go back."
The old lady frowned.
The second wife said, "She made such a mistake, but she was not punished. The Marquis is too partial to the second young lady."
While they were talking, Shen Sui came in. The old lady was also a little unhappy and said, "I know you love Tang'er, but she ordered Prince Ning around. If she is not punished, there is no guarantee that other people in the Marquis' Mansion will not follow suit."
Shen Sui sat down and said, "Mother is worrying too much. If others follow suit, Prince Ning will listen."
What Shen Sui said was from his heart and was the truth, but it sounded a bit like he was arguing.
The old lady asked unexpectedly, "Do you think Tang'er did nothing wrong?"
If he wanted to order someone else around, that would definitely be wrong, but Xiao Huan was his son and Chen Tang's biological elder brother, so it was certainly not wrong.
If he wasn't her biological brother, Tang'er wouldn't have done such a thing.
But the old lady didn't know about it. Chen Sui didn't blame the old lady for punishing Chen Tang. As a father, he had to deal with the aftermath. "The Ning Wang's son suffered a minor internal injury in exchange for Princess Roujia's life. In my opinion, it is worth it. You punished Tang'er to kneel in the Buddhist temple. If this matter is heard by Prince Duan, what do you think he will think? Tang'er is not a person without measure, and the Ning Wang's son is even less so."
