Chapter 108
Xia Yuqing touched her stomach, with a face that looked like 囧 . She stared at the formed circle not far away . The palace people were chirping secretly, she didn’t even know where to start .
In the center of the circle, Lu Rui sounded like a broken record: “Yes, yes, that’s it . We must follow Niang Niang everywhere and protect her . We can not let anyone come close and hurt Niang Niang . If there is any movement, immediately notify others to go and support . Do you guys understand?”
“Understood . ” Everyone answered uniformly causing it to echo for a long time in the wide hall .
Xia Yuqing looked at the extremely serious expressions of the group of people and was embarrassed again . Why did she have the illusion of a devil entering the village? Isn’t it just a movie about a girl who is the candidate for becoming the future empress? Why has it become like the apocalypse with everyone in a panic and treating others as enemies?
“Li Yuan knows martial arts, so she must always stay by Niang Niang’s side to ensure her safety and prevent anyone from plotting against her . ” Lu Rui patted Li Yuan’s shoulder with a serious face . Even Xia Yuqing, who was watching, felt the strength and pain from that pat .
Unexpectedly, Li Yuan didn’t mind at all . She held Lu Rui’s hand instead, her eyes brightened and she said, “I will definitely work hard . ”
“...” Child, did your head get smacked too hard?
“Lu...” Xia Yuqing walked around behind Li Yuan wanting to say something, but saw Lu Rui turn around, and pat Cui Er’s shoulder .
“Sister Cui Er, you respond the best and is the most adaptable, you must always pay attention to Niang Niang . If there’s any situation, tell us immediately and we will go to help you . ”
“...” Lu Rui, let me tell you . Among the crowd here, the one in front of you is the most powerful in martial arts . If she really makes a move, she could definitely turn all of you into scraps in seconds . Do you believe that?
Under Lu Rui’s eager gaze, Cui Er didn’t say anything . She only smiled and answered: “Okay . ”
Seeing Lu Rui touching her chin as if she was thinking about a deployment strategy, Xia Yuqing took the opportunity to call out: “Lu Rui . ”
When Lu Rui heard Xia Yuqing’s call, she lifted her head to see Xia Yuqing standing not far away with a bitter expression . Thinking she was frightened, she couldn’t help feeling a little distressed .
She quickly stepped forward and grasped Xia Yuqing’s hand: “Niang Niang, don’t worry, we are here . With us, we won’t let the granddaughter of Duke Lu hurt you and the little prince . Just remember, don’t get close to the woman’s three...Oh, no, within 6 zhang . ”
“20 metres?” Three Zhang is about ten meters, so six zhang is 20 meters . Twenty meters should be almost the distance of a ravine . Saying hello and talking to someone across a mountain ditch, do you want us to sing mountain folk songs to each other?!
Staring at Lu Rui’s solemn expression, Xia Yuqing couldn’t say the words of rejection and could only nod her head .
Lu Rui let out a sigh of relief, then continued with a faint smile, speaking with relief: “As long as Niang Niang takes care of herself and the little prince, we will take care of everything else . The emperor pampers Niang Niang so much, he will definitely not allow those people to hurt Niang Niang . The empress dowager also regards Niang Niang as her own, she will not stand by doing nothing . Also, Xu Lao will leave his closed doors soon . Since he loves Niang Niang so much, he will not let people bully her . And the Da Rens...anyways, Niang Niang just needs to raise her baby with a peace of mind, don’t worry about anything else . ”
“I didn’t worry . Lu Rui, you are becoming more and more like an old mother . And...” Xia Yuqing met Lu Rui’s hurt eyes, coughed slightly, “I actually meant to say that I was hungry . ”
“Niang Niang...” Lu Rui called out pitifully, holding her broken glass heart .
“I’m really hungry . Listen, my stomach is growling . ”
“...”
“The little baby is also hungry and is starting to protest . ”
“...well, Nu Bi will go take care of the food . ”
“...”
Xiefang palace hall was furiously jumping due to the arrival of Duke Lu and his granddaughter . Everyone was in a panic, while the Qianqing palace hall was plunged into a pressure that was the opposite of it due to the arrival of these two people .
“Duke Lu’s move is really...good, so good! He brought his granddaughter to the capital without any notice, only after entering the city gate were we notified, does he really put Zhen in his eyes?” Feng Tingye played with the letter in his hand, smiled coldly, then directly threw the thing in his hand to the ground . There was a vulture like gaze that appeared in his slightly narrowed eyes .
As soon as Shao Zitong entered the door, he saw a bright yellow letter thrown towards him . After falling on the ground, it slid directly to his feet .
Shao Zitong looked down . After seeing the signature on the letter, he raised his eyebrows and didn’t pick it up . He stepped on it in a grand manner . When he stepped down, he was still not very happy and pressed down harder .
“...” When the people watched his movements, they knew that this guy was angry . In fact, it was due to the owner of this letter .
“Who made the Ministry of War, Shao Zitong angry, does he want to die?” Yan Ran gloated at someone’s hairy appearance and blew a loud whistle .
Leng Ruofeng’s face was cold . How could he not know whether his friend was really angry or was playing around after years of friendship? Obviously, this time someone was really annoyed .
“Isn’t it just picking up Duke Lu, what’s the matter?”
“Picking up? Would that person want some small Ministry of War to pick them up, this lowly subject? Give them a bit of face and they really go too far . They haven’t even met yet, but already they consider themselves the hostess of this country . Heh, Tingye, I am leaving my words here today . If you really married that girl, regardless of whether it’s having her as a maid or an empress, my friendship with you will be over immediately . ”
As soon as this was said, the expressions of several people in the hall changed, even Yan Ran quickly put away his condescending look . Usually, although the several people liked to joke, there was a certain limit they had in their hearts . They would never say such decisive words . Shao Zitong was really mad this time .
“Who said that I want to accept that woman? Zhen has nothing to do with her . That’s the case now and in the future . There will only be one concubine in my harem . I don’t want to say this again . ” Feng Tingye’s face sank as he said something similar to a guarantee in his cold voice .
Shao Zitong’s face only improved slightly after hearing that, “That sounds about right . ”
“What’s going on?” Leng Ruofeng saw that the atmosphere between the two was no longer as tense as it was at the beginning, and was slightly relieved .
Shao Zitong’s eyes went cold and he revealed what had just happened .
No one had anticipated the arrival of Duke Lu . At that time, Feng Tingye and the others were discussing how to arrange the Wu Jun mother and son duo who followed them back to Beijing when they suddenly heard news from outside that Duke Lu had arrived in the capital with his granddaughter .
Although Duke Lu was an official, he was a veteran from the previous era and had a high status . The few people didn’t dare to be negligent when they heard the news . After discussing it, they asked Shao Zitong to take some people to the city gate to greet them .
Because he didn’t know Lord Lu’s return beforehand, he had made no preparations at all . Shao Zitong just hurried to the gate with some guards . After waiting for a few quarters at the gate, he saw two low-key but gorgeous carriages slowly driving to the gate of the city .
Shao Zitong was the Ministry of War and his official position was not much worse than that of Duke Lu . In addition, Duke Lu announced that he was retiring many years ago, it is logical that Shao Zitong did not have to salute him . But seeing that the other party was an elder, Shao Zitong lowered his posture, bowed and asked, “Is Duke Lu in the carriage?”
As soon as the voice fell, a deep unwelcoming voice from the carriage came out: “You are...”
“Greeting the Duke, this junior is the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Shao Zitong, on orders from the emperor to welcome the Duke . ”
“The Shangshu of the Ministry of War?” Duke Lu in the carriage did not say anything . Shao Zitong then heard a shrill female voice, “How come only a small Shangshu came? Are they looking down on grandfather and I? Ah, what does the emperor mean by this, could it be......”
“Yan Er...”
“Grandpa what do you want me to do? Am I wrong? Grandpa, you are the previous emperor’s high ranking official . You are the only official bestowed a surname by the previous emperor . Your status is noble, that is, even the previous emperor would give you three points of courtesy . What’s more, the current emperor is young and energetic . How long has he taken the throne? How dare he not put you in his eyes?! If this goes on longer, what would he do then? And doesn’t he know that I am......hehe . ”
“Yan Er, don’t be rude . ” After the woman had finished speaking, Duke Lu snorted in a low voice . Although he was interrupting her, he didn’t seem angry at all, “Yan Er was spoiled by the old man . Please don’t mind, Da Ren . ”
Shao Zitong couldn’t help sneer when he heard Duke Lu’s words . If he really wanted to stop his granddaughter, why wait until she finished speaking? Knowing that the girl speaks rudely, but still indulging her nonsense, is this the teaching of the Lu family? It’s really eye-opening, how can he not compliment it?
Bestowed a name? How many fiefs with different surnames since ancient times ended up with a tragic ending? What’s more, you’re not even a ruler of a fiefdom, just a small country lord . How dare you be so arrogant?!
For the common people, a fief may look like supreme glory, but as long as you really see through the darkness of the officialdom, its not really the case . The people of the royal family understand that the fief does not mean much honor . Instead, it is the suspicion of the king . To put it more simply, it is to distribute the frontiers and lock people in one place, keeping them away from the capital, the court, and the power .
But when the two people in front of him hadn’t asked about the emperors circumstances and left their territory grandiosely, he really didn’t know if they should be called bold or stupid .
“The Duke’s words are too much, Chen...” Shao Zitong sneered repeatedly in his heart, but made a submissive look on his face . Just as he wanted to casually say some nice words, the woman in the carriage became restless again .
“Grandpa, what do you have to say with a little Shangshu of the Ministry of War . Grandpa, I’m tired after so many days of travel . Let’s find a place to settle down first . ” The woman’s shrill voice said coquettishly . It was quite lethal, and directly caused the group of welcoming guards and Shao Zitong to have a body full of goosebumps .
However, the Duke comfortably replied with a cheerful voice: “Okay, we will find a place to rest immediately . ”
He even asked the driver to take the carriage directly to the relay station . Shao Zitong who came to greet him was directly thrown aside . This defiant attitude really angered Shao Zitong .
Watching the grandfather, granddaughter pair enter the post, he went straight to the palace, and walked into the Qianqing palace hall full of anger . That’s why there was the scene just now .
After listening to Shao Zitong’s narrative, the faces of several people were a little ugly . They thought it would be troublesome enough for this woman with the so-called fate sign to appear, but they didn’t expect that even the grandfather would think so highly of himself . Now, I’m afraid that something will happen again .
“What do you think about this matter?” Feng Tingye was silent for a long while, tapping on the table with his fingers .
“How else can I look at it? These two people are clearly coming for the position of the queen . Listening to the words of that woman wanting to be the queen of the world, that really is a joke . ” Yan Ran unceremoniously belittled the woman who he had never met but had already upset everyone .
Shao Zitong was even more direct . He coldly smiled: “They did not come earlier or later, but why when the present political situation is stable? Entering at this time, Duke Lu can really calculate . ”
“He wants to rely on his granddaughter to gain power through the so-called fate . He still needs to see if Zhen will agree or not . ”
Leng Ruofeng’s face was slightly cold: “What is Your Majesty going to do?”
“The best way to deal with an opinionated self-righteous person is to cut the mess with a sharp knife . ” Feng Tingye’s eyes flashed with a clear chilling, murderous aura .
Leng Ruofeng nodded, but as if thinking of something, he reminded him in a muffled voice: “This kind of person, it’s easy for him to be driven to a desperate action when pushed . ”
Feng Tingye looked up at Leng Ruofeng with his phoenix eyes: “What do you mean? You are worried that they will act on Ai Fei if they are pushed?”
Leng Ruofeng nodded solemnly . Feng Tingye’s face became gloomy . The corners of his lips curled up into a cold arc: “Don’t worry, I won’t give them this opportunity . ”
Poor Huo Feiyan didn’t expect that when she had just stepped into the capital, she would be remembered by the few people who had the most say in the court . This was all while she was still immersed in her dream of being a queen .
Of course, the pitiful person had something hateful about her . If she hadn’t had that kind of temperament, she wouldn’t have brought so much hatred to herself at the beginning . So it is said that some people court disasters by themselves and others can’t stop them even if they want to .
In the next few days, rumors were abound in Beijing . The palace was even more panicked . It was not because they heard the rumors, but that the protagonist in the rumors suddenly appeared and is endangering their beloved Consort Qing and future cute little prince .
Rumor has it that the granddaughter of Duke Lu is tall but light, with the appearance of a weak lady, arousing love .
Rumor has it that the granddaughter of Duke Lu was eighteen years old and she sounded like an oriole that would cause other birds to stop .
Rumor has it that Duke Lu’s granddaughter has a graceful appearance and a peach coloured face .
Rumors...
Too many rumors made the faces of everyone around Xia Yuqing more and more ugly, but it made Xia Yuqing a little curious . These rumors sounded good alone, but if they were put together, she would not look like a human . Instead, she would look more like...a youkai . A youkai with several different faces . Thinking about it made her feel...a bit scary .
However, even if the girls around Xia Yuqing were guarded, the ones who should come will still come . Xia Yuqing didn’t expect that she would meet the scandalous female of the Ultra Seme Lord so soon .
Early that morning, after Xia Yuqing had breakfast, she remembered that she hadn’t visited Zhang Sunshi in Cining Palace for a long time, so she took Cui Er and the others to Cining Palace . She also decided to walk instead of using a carriage to help digest the food .
Unexpectedly, not far from the Xiefang palace hall, she saw a woman chatting with her friends and walking towards them .
Xia Yuqing paused and looked at the group of people with curiosity: “I’ve never seen those people before . Who are they?”
Li Yuan turned her head when she heard the words . Her face suddenly changed, and she whispered: “Qing Jiejie, that is the granddaughter of Duke Lu, Huo Feiyan . ”
Duke Lu’s granddaughter, Huo Feiyan? Xia Yuqing suddenly remembered the rumor . From a distance, she was tall, she was light and...wait, she is just like a ball, how can she still be light? She had to wonder if she really climbed into the bed of the Ultra Seme Lord, would he be crushed by her?
However, if there is such a day, let him be crushed . Hmph, she wouldn’t want such a traitorous person anyways .
Thinking about it this way, Xia Yuqing couldn’t help but sympathize with the woman walking towards her . Alas, the poor child took the name of Feiyan, but got a figure that was far from it . It was really a tragedy .
Then she also remembered another rumor, her graceful posture... Looking at her twisting around like the old prostitutes in a brothel trying to get clients, she was indeed quite graceful . As for the face like a peach blossom, her face was covered by a handkerchief .
Xia Yuqing commented on someone’s image with relish . Suddenly as if thinking of something, she looked down at the ground between the two . This distance... seems to be close to twenty meters .
“Go, go, hurry up . ” After regaining her senses, Xia Yuqing hurriedly urged the girls behind her to hide . It’s not that she was worried about what Huo Feiyan would really do to herself, she just didn’t want to be caught by Lu Rui after the fact and get nagged endlessly . Lu Rui, that girl was becoming more and more like an old housekeeper . No, she has to find someone to accept her as soon as possible! ! !
Xia Yuqing thought secretly in her heart . But she didn’t know that even if she wanted to run, some people weren’t planning to just let her go .
“Stop, why are you running? Didn’t you see our lady coming?” Before Xia Yuqing took a few steps, she was stopped by an unceremonious female voice .
Cui Er and Li Yuan’s eyes flashed with a trace of coldness at the same time . They looked at each other, nodded, and shielded Xia Yuqing behind them .
Xia Yuqing didn’t feel anything, there was only one thought in her heart at the moment . It seems that this time I can’t escape Lu Rui’s invincible nagging, but this is not my fault . This woman came running up by herself . So please be lenient and only nag for a quarter of an hour, don’t nag for a long time~~o(>_<)o~~
Huo Feiyan has a stomach of fire . She has been loved since she was a child . Wherever she went, people would flatter her and view her as a revered leader . In addition, her grandfather because of her fate has always placed high hopes on her and brought her by his side to raise her since childhood .
Life going smoothly for more than ten years, how could she expect that when she arrived in the capital, she would be so dejected . As for today, she planned to cultivate her relationship with the emperor through the two days of the empress dowager’s birthday feast and get the empress position in one move . Yet, she was refused entrance . The emperor unwilling to see her was fine, but seeing palace maids on the road turning around running away when they saw her made Huo Feiyan so angry that she almost broke her teeth .
In her mind, she secretly made the decision to replace all the maids in this harem after she sat on the throne of the empress in the future! ! !
Full of anger and seeing the group of maids around Xia Yuqing who were wearing the outfits of court ladies that could not conceal their beauty, Huo Feiyan’s heart became more fierce . She yelled: “Which palace are you from? Are your eyes grown on the top of your head, did you not see this lady coming? You dare to hide?”
Li Yuan narrowed her eyes and stepped forward: “This miss’s words are too strong, we are the maidservants in this palace and only respect our Master . Nu Bi doesn’t know this miss, so naturally she won’t take the initiative to join her . I don’t know how this annoys this lady?”
The implication was that you are a new girl, the newcomer . It’s already nice of us to not trouble you, yet you dare to trouble us? You really don’t know your place .
“You...” Huo Feiyan became angry, “Which palace maid are you? That’s how your master taught you? There is no discipline at all . ”
Li Yuan didn’t change her face . She sneered and said: “Haha even if Nu Bi doesn’t know the practices, Nu Bi still knows to be respectful to her master . I also know how to treat people with cordiality and politeness . Who would be like some lady who casually catches someone on the road and scolds them with such a dirty mouth . This Nu Bi would also like to ask, which family does this girl belong to? Is this the upbringing of the lady’s family?”
Xia Yuqing stared blankly at the scene of the rice ball vs . wild pheasant . When did the girl Li Yuan become so sharp-mouthed? Usually, the cute little rice ball doesn’t fight back when she is pinched and protests twice at most, is this her illusion? Ooooooooooooooooooo did the rice balls evolve into a fried bun? Look at that wild pheasant bouncing everywhere, its top looks like it’s going to blow up!!!
“Are you ridiculing this lady’s lack of education?” Huo Feiyan stared at Li Yuan closely . The hatred in her eyes could no longer be hidden . For the first time in her life, she was insulted like this . Usually, the words spoken to her were softly spoken and full of flattery . She never expected that a little court lady would cause her to lose face today .
“I didn’t say that, this lady said it herself . ”
Goodjob! Xia Yuqing’s eyes lit up and praised her Xiao Yuanzi .
“You...” Huo Feiyan was so angry that she raised her hand to slap Li Yuan’s face . She didn’t expect to be stopped by Li Yuan when she moved her hand halfway .
Don’t look at Li Yuan’s small body, after all, she is a kung fu practitioner . Now, using a little bit of strength, it caused Huo Feiyan to shout out . She hurriedly pulled her hand back, rubbing her hand vigorously .
“You dare to hit me!!!” Since childhood, no one dared to do anything to Huo Feiyan . Now, not only was she ridiculed by words, but also injured by someone . Huo Feiyan immediately screamed .
Xia Yuqing quickly covered her ears when she heard Huo Feiyan’s voice . My goodness, such a high-decibel dolphin sound . Does she want to make everyone deaf? No wonder the rumors said Duke Lu’s granddaughter can stop a crowd of birds . I’m afraid the real scene is that they are all sacrificial victims, while the people have fled the city囧 ~~~~~
After the screaming stopped, Xia Yuqing glanced at the people around her with lingering fears, but saw that all of them looked as usual and motionless . They were untouched by the magic sound just now? This...did they become silly or were their tolerance too strong?
A little court lady on the side met Xia Yuqing’s inquisitive and puzzled gaze and silently wiped a cold sweat . Niang Niang, its not that Nu Bi has a strong tolerance, it’s just... after listening to your zither, this level can only be regarded as... a piece of cake . Look to the sky~~~
The two in the confrontation obviously did not notice this episode . Li Yuan looked at the opposite woman coldly, and sneered: “If the eyes of so many people here are right, this miss made a move first . I just resisted a little bit to avoid hurting myself, why did you say that I hit you miss?”
“You...”
Without giving Huo Feiyan a chance to argue, Li Yuan continued: “Does this miss think that it’s nothing to beat a little palace lady? Don’t forget that this is the palace . What qualifications do you have and what capacity do you have to beat me? First, you are not a royal relative, secondly you are not a concubine of this palace . Even if you want to teach me, it is not this miss’s turn to do it . “
“You...” Huo Feiyan was interrupted by Li Yuan so she could only utter a single syllable . Although she was covered with a veil, her exposed skin still made it possible to see that she was irritated .
Xia Yuqing looked at Li Yuan with bright eyes . If it hadn’t been for the fact that there were so many people present, she would have rushed forward and hugged Li Yuan . Oh, what to do? I feel that a collected Xiao Yuanzi with her face pretending to be mature is even more cute!!!
Xia Yuqing’s explicit gaze not only made Li Yuan aware of it, but also caused Huo Feiyan, who had been busy pinching with Li Yuan, to turn her attention to her .
After seeing Xia Yuqing’s clothes and the already very obvious round belly, Huo Feiyan’s eyes suddenly tightened . She pointed to Xia Yuqing and said: “You...you are...”
“...” This girl has just noticed her . Xia Yuqing rolled her eyes and silently added a note to this person’s poor figure in her heart . Her eyes don’t seem too good .
Seeing Xia Yuqing, Huo Feiyan was strangely calm . She sneered and said: “I was wondering which family’s Ya Tou was so sharp-toothed and doesn’t understand etiquette, so it turns out to be from the palace of Niang Niang . No wonder her eyes were on the top of her head with no one in sight, she really can’t be brought out in public . Does she really think that just because she has a title, she would ascend to heaven and be at the top?”
Xia Yuqing was embarrassed . She was wronged to death, but she still reminded Huo Feiyan ‘sincerely’: “Uh...that Miss Huo, in this palace, Ben Gong is the only one who has a title”
It’s not that she think shes the top person with a title . But within the ladies in the palace now, except for the empress dowager, she was the only one who has a title .
Xia Yuqing’s words were nothing to herself, but she obviously overestimated her language ability .
Hearing this ordinary sentence, it became Xia Yuqing mocking her for a lack of status and showing off her relationship and status with His Majesty in front of her .
Li Yuan’s time with Xia Yuqing was not short, so she knew Xia Yuqing’s temperament . She also knew that there was no evil intention in her words, but she was not ready to explain that when she looked at Huo Feiyan’s expression of resentment and jealousy . “No, our empress is so favored by the emperor, she was named the head of the four titles of concubines and enjoys the special favor of the sixth palace . Now she is also pregnant with the dragon descendant . Only when the melons are ripe could the post-approval ceremony be held . The one and only queen in the harem, how can such honor be comparable to others?”
“You...” Huo Feiyan wanted to make a move again . Li Yuan stepped forward without a trace, blocking Xia Yuqing’s whole person behind her . She sneered: “Do you want to be pinched again?”
Huo Feiyan thought of the pain just now, her face changed slightly . She snorted coldly : “Don’t be too proud . It’s too early to say anything . Don’t think just because you have a child, you can sit firmly on the Queen’s throne . Things in this palace have never been fixed . Your favor today may not be favour like this in the future . Let’s wait and see . ”
After that, Huo Feiyan ignored the people behind her and turned away .
“Wait...wait a minute, you...”
Hearing someone shout behind her, Huo Feiyan only thought Xia Yuqing was frightened by her words . She chuckled and raised her head proudly and said, “It’s too late for you to regret now . The humiliation I have received will be doubled back in the future . Just think about how to live out your limited good days later, ah~~~”
Another long scream cut through the sky, accompanied by a muffled sound .
Xia Yuqing put down her hands, tightly covering her ears . She looked at Huo Feiyan, who was slumped in front of her, and whispered, “You think too much . I just want to tell you that there is a pit hole in front of you . If you continued to move forwards, you’ll fall...”
So, if you don’t look at the road when you walk, and your eyes are higher than the top of a horse, even God will not be able to look past it .
Tsk tsk, she saw it just now . When Huo Feiyan fell, her face landed on the ground first . Even if her face under the veil was astonishingly dazzling, just like this, it would be crooked no matter what .
“But, why is such a big pit here?”
Hearing Xia Yuqing’s mutter, Xiao Bai nestled in Cui Er’s arms perked up . His black grape-like eyes stared at Xia Yuqing brightly as if asking for credit .
“Wowowo...” Master, look over here! ! ! The pit was dug by this uncle . It was made by this uncle to pee yesterday . I want to be rewarded, begging to be touched! ! !
“Ah, it hurts, why don’t you come over and pull me up?” Huo Feiyan clutched her aching face . She shouted angrily at the group of girls who were dumbfounded by her sudden fall .
The girls woke up from their dream . One by one, they stepped forward to pull Huo Feiyan up, but Huo Feiyan who was originally huge... .
“Ah~~~” There were several screams . That’s right, several . Besides falling to the ground again and hurting her face twice, there were also some Ya Tous who stacked up on top of her when they failed to pull her up . They were all pressed on Huo Feiyan’s body .
“...” At this moment, Xia Yuqing wanted to ask, dear, is your face okay?
Xia Yuqing and the few girls behind her all looked at the farce in front of them with surprise .
Only Li Yuan turned her head to Cui Er, who was bowing her head to Xiao Bai, looked on with a little surprise .
At that moment, she clearly saw a few small stones flying out from sister Cui Er’s direction hitting those girls who wanted to pull Huo Feiyan up, then the figures of a few people flew forward .
Cui Er seemed to feel Li Yuan’s gaze and looked up at her . She shook her head, and smiled .
Li Yuan immediately understood, but she was a little shocked . It turned out... there is such a master besides Qing Jiejie?
Taking a deep breath, Li Yuan didn’t ask here . Instead, she approached Xia Yuqing’s ear and reminded: “Qing Jiejie, are we... going to help them?”
Help them? Its not like I’m not full and can help . Didn’t you see the people who helped and fell down? She didn’t want to ask for trouble .
“Yeah, the weather today is really good . I don’t know if the flowers in the Yuhuan Garden are blooming . I’ll walk around and have a look when I go to Cining Palace . ”
“...”
The girls just looked at Xia Yuqing who looked up at the sky, then looked around and left . Frozen for a moment, they hurriedly followed . Now that Niang Niang is leaving, cough cough, let’s assume that we haven’t seen anything .
Xia Yuqing and the others who were eager to visit Zhang Sunshi in Ci Ning Palace hall and Huo Feiyan and the others who focused on saving themselves did not notice the people at the end of the palace road . A few men who had just come down from morning court saw everything that happened here, from beginning to end .
“It looks like we were over-concerned . That little kitty will bite people . What’s more, there are so many people guarding her . ” Shao Zitong squinted and said with a light smile . He looked at Huo Feiyan, who had angered him not so long ago . This sight was really refreshing .
Sure enough, women’s affairs still need women to solve it . That special women should be left to those wolf-like women to clean up .
“It can be said like that, but I don’t plan to let this matter go . ” Feng Tingye looked at the woman who was still struggling on the ground, lingering and panting, a trace of contempt flashed across his eyes .
“What will the emperor do?” Leng Ruofeng frowned and asked coldly .
“The best and most direct way to deal with a grandfather and granddaughter duo who has unrealistic dreams is to smash their dreams in front of everyone . ” Feng Tingye’s eyes flashed with an evil light, making the people on the side tremble unconsciously...
“Yan Ran, what’s the matter?” Leng Ruofeng saw him absent-minded and asked with an eyebrow raised . It is rare to see him so quiet, he really isn’t...used to it .
“Um... nothing . ” Yan Ran came back to his senses and laughed dryly . He just didn’t expect that the woman who usually looked so pitiful would have such a side . This made his mood a little...complex for a while .
Shao Zitong and Feng Tingye, who knew the inside story, looked at each other . When they saw a similar light in each other’s eyes, they instantly understood .
Smart people were like this . Sometimes they don’t need to make a special statement . Often they only need one look to know what the other person was thinking .
Poor someone who was still struggling with his own complicated mind at the moment, without knowing has already been targeted .
Xia Yuqing left after having lunch in the Cining Palace . As soon as Xia Yuqing left, Zhang Sunshi heard the news . There was a little chill on her always gentle face .
“Is it true?”
“It’s true . Nu Bi just heard from the Ya Tou who went out to fetch tea in the temple early in the morning . She met the Huo family lady on the way here . Niang Niang didn’t say anything . But, Ms . Huo tried to teach Niang Niang’s Ya Tou a lesson after learning that she was the person next to Niang Niang . She even criticized her directly and didn’t put her in her eyes at all . Yet, Niang Niang did not blame her because of her good temper . If such a person enters the harem, how can there be any peaceful days in the harem?”
“No wonder Qing Er was a little tired when she came today . Ai Jia thought it was because she didn’t sleep well yesterday, but it was because of this? She had gone out and run into someone and got angry . ” Zhang Sunshi’s complexion darkened . Although she hadn’t asked about others for many years, she had been in this harem for more than ten years . What kind of people had she not seen before . Right now, she did not have a good impression of the so-called Duke Lu’s granddaughter . “It’s naturally impossible for such a woman to enter the palace, not to mention that no one wanted her to enter the palace in the beginning . Mei Xi...”
“Yes, Nu Bi is here . ”
