Chapter 83 Prevarication
The wound has bitten the socks. It doesn't hurt if it's not touched, but if the socks are pulled, it will tear the healing wound open, causing excruciating pain.
沉棠急着回府，她要走，谢归墨要抱她出宫，沉棠哪敢让他抱，这不等于是昭告天下，他要娶她，更是明目张胆的告诉叶贵妃，他就是揍昌平侯世子的男子，那她这些罪不是白受了。
Chen Tang refused to let him hug her, and Xie Guimo couldn't force him. After walking out of the rockery, Chen Tang turned around and said, "You have injuries, drink less."
It's rare that this woman still remembers that he is injured.
Just thinking that Chen Tang would rather stay single than marry him, a certain gentleman couldn't feel good.
Seeing Chen Tang coming out of the rockery, Yin Xing hurried over to help her, and the master and servant walked back to the familiar road before they successfully left the palace.
After returning to Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, Chen Tang did not go directly back to Qingyi Garden, but went to Songhe Hall.
Inside the house, the old lady had looked at the clepsydra countless times. She didn't know why Concubine Ye wanted Chen Tang to go to the palace, but she didn't dare to stop him from going. The longer Chen Tang stayed in the palace, the more worried the old lady became.
But he hasn't come back since he entered the palace for such a long time, maybe something happened...
The old lady was worried, and the maid quickly entered the room and said, "Old lady, the second young lady is back."
It's good that you're back. The old lady can finally settle down after being worried for so long.
After waiting for more than half a cup of tea, Chen Tang came into the room. Before Chen Tang could salute, the old lady asked, "Why did Concubine Ye ask you to come to the palace?"
Concubine Ye didn't dare to let the emperor know the purpose of looking for her to enter the palace, and Chen Tang didn't dare to tell the old lady either. She told the old lady what Concubine Ye said to evade the emperor, "I'm sorry to have worried you, grandma. It's nothing. It's just that Princess Cheng'an wants to learn sword dancing. Concubine Ye knows that I won the prize with sword dancing at the Spring Banquet of Prince Shou's Mansion, so she wants me to teach Princess Cheng'an."
The old lady thought that Concubine Ye asked Chen Tang to come to the palace because of the beating of the Prince of Changping at the Lantern Festival last night. She didn't know why she thought about this. It was really easy for people to have wild thoughts when they get old.
It's just that Princess Cheng'an wants to learn sword dancing, and there are plenty of dancers in the palace to teach her. Why would Concubine Ye want Chen Tang to teach Princess Cheng'an?
The princess is not so easy to teach.
The old lady glanced at Mother Wang, and Mother Wang asked all the maids serving in the room to leave.
After the maid left, the old lady looked at Chen Tang and said, "If you teach the princess to dance with the sword well, there will be no merit, but if you don't teach well, there will be blame. Do you agree?"
The old lady felt that what she asked was nonsense, and Concubine Ye spoke, so Shen Tang had no choice but to agree.
As a result, Chen Tang shook his head, "No, when Concubine Ye was about to speak, the emperor went there. The emperor felt that Princess Cheng'an could not bear the hardship, so he did not let her learn..."
No matter what you learn, whether it is music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, or song, you have to endure hardships if you want to learn it well.
The Emperor's love for Princess Cheng'an is truly well-deserved.
However, this is a good thing for Shen Tang. It would be best if he doesn't have to teach. If he really has to teach, the old lady will not let Shen Tang teach. At most, she will go to the palace to show her appreciation twice and then let Shen Tang find an excuse to refuse.
Nothing else to do, Chen Tang prepared to return to Qingyi Garden, but just as she bowed and said goodbye, Hongxiu came in and said, "Madam, someone from the palace has sent a message that Concubine Ye asked the second wife to come to the palace tomorrow."
The old lady frowned.
Chen Tang had just seen Concubine Ye return home, and now Concubine Ye was going to see the Second Wife again. What exactly was Concubine Ye going to do?
The old lady's intuition told her that Concubine Ye asked Chen Tang to come to the palace for more than just to teach Princess Cheng'an how to dance with the sword.
But the old lady didn't think Shen Tang would know anything, so she didn't ask any further questions.
Concubine Ye wanted to see the Second Madam, and the old lady did not dare to stop the Second Madam from going, so she immediately instructed Madam Wang, "Send someone to Jingci Temple to tell her to go to the palace to see Concubine Ye tomorrow."
Mother Wang agreed.
Chen Tang looked normal, but when he left Songhe Hall, his expression turned cold.
Chen Tang knew that Concubine Ye had called her into the palace and would not be satisfied until she told him who had beaten the Prince of Changping. However, she did not expect that Concubine Ye would want to see the Second Wife right after she returned home. It was obvious that she wanted to use the Second Wife to achieve her goal.
The Second House and Concubine Ye were birds of a feather in their previous life. In this life, people thought that the Second House was not worthy of Concubine Ye, but unexpectedly, Concubine Ye helped the Second Master to get an official position. Although he was unsuccessful, he had the opportunity to sell Concubine Ye's favor and please her. The Second Wife would not refuse.
It's a pity that she has no one to use, otherwise she could let the second wife go to see Concubine Ye...
However, Chen Tang was not too disappointed. Unless she poisoned the Second Wife directly, the Second Wife would always go to see Concubine Ye. She could avoid it on the first day, but she could not avoid it on the fifteenth day.
Back at Qingyi Garden, Chen Tang sat down while Gingko went to get some hemostatic medicine. Qiu Tong saw that Chen Tang's foot was injured and said distressedly, "Why did the girl's ankle get injured? Do you want to see a doctor?"
Chen Tang said, "It's just a minor skin injury. When the doctor comes, the wound will be healed."
If I hadn't been paying attention, the wound would have bitten my socks and would have formed a scab.
Asking a doctor for such a minor injury would definitely alarm the old lady. When she asks about the injury, I would have to go through the trouble of explaining it. There is no need for that.
Gingko fetched some hemostatic medicine, then squatted down and carefully helped Chen Tang tear off the socks that were biting the wound little by little. Chen Tang's forehead trembled in pain.
Fortunately, the wound was not big and the pain would go away after a while. Ginkgo poured the medicine powder on the wound and let it dry for a while and the bleeding stopped.
Chen Tang sat on the couch for a while, put on his shoes and socks again, and walked towards the window.
She stood at the window and looked around. Chen Shan appeared and said, "The Crown Prince's Concubine is looking for a subordinate?"
Chen Tang, "..."
It is true that like master, like servant.
She refused again and again, but that bastard kept calling her mother-in-law and even called her the Crown Prince's Consort when she was a secret guard.
Chen Tang pretended not to hear and asked, "Did you tell your master that Concubine Ye wanted me to enter the palace?"
Chen Shan nodded.
I dare not tell you.
Although Second Miss Shen has repeatedly said that she will not marry me, I have not given up yet. What if he pretends not to know and something happens to Second Miss Shen in the palace, how can he explain to me?
The master was angry on the surface, afraid that Concubine Ye would make things difficult for Second Miss Shen, but he went to the palace drunk.
Chen Shan couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly, "I have never seen you treat any girl so well, why did Miss Shen repeatedly refuse to marry you?"
Chen Tang said with a dim look in his eyes, "I am not marrying your master because it is for your master's good."
"Thank you so much today. Go back and don't come again."
After throwing a silver ingot to Chen Shan, Chen Tang closed the window.
Looking at the closed window, Chen Shan had never felt so sad being a secret guard.
The master told him to get out, but didn't tell him where to go. He came to Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion, and Miss Shen asked him to leave again...
There was no place for him to stay.
He just didn't understand, how could it be good for me if Second Miss Shen didn't marry me?
Thinking of what Chen Tang said about not being able to get married before the age of sixteen——
Could it be that Miss Shen Er is really a husband-killer?
