Chapter 491: Losing face
But in the next moment, her shy expression immediately turned to very frightened.
Because of the handsome and noble His Royal Highness the Seven Princes of Weiyang Kingdom, his gaze is just like his temperament, cold and clear, as if it is a sharp sword that can hurt people, and he dodged it very neatly.
So the exclamation of the delicate young lady turned into a miserable scream, and she fell on Li Jinjian's table at once, and all the delicacies and delicacies were all in vain at this moment, and all the soup and water splashed all over her head and face.
Such a big movement quickly attracted everyone's attention, even the singing and music stopped abruptly, the entire Yuming Hall was silent, everyone was at a loss and looked at each other, no one dared to laugh out loud, so they could only hold back.
In this lightning, if anyone openly ridiculed, then the young lady of the Fu Yin family would completely lose face and would no longer have to appear in front of people.
After all, the Imperial City Mansion Yin is also a parent official, even if anyone can be one level older than him, but they will always see each other in the future, and it is better to leave people alive after all.
It was Concubine Chen who broke the deadlock first, and said softly: "What's the matter?"
Concubine Chen didn't dare not reply, but when she saw that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, who was as cold as frost, didn't look like he wanted to answer, Miss Fu Yin had no choice but to sobble and say, "Back to Concubine Chen's words...... It was the courtiers who accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell when she passed by His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince...... His Royal Highness has the heart to help him, but the courtiers know the truth that men and women do not kiss, so they can only live up to His Highness's kindness, and ask the mother to forgive her sins......"
These words are justified and pitiful, this Miss Yin is really a thoughtful person, but she is not afraid of offending Li Jinjian, and she must save her face first.
Maybe she will be sure that Li Jinjian disdains to argue with her, so she exonerates herself and splashes dirty water on others.
But Concubine Chen didn't care about the face of her small mansion Yin Qianjin and wronged Li Jinjian, so she looked over and asked softly, "Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, is this really the case?"
Li Jinjian naturally disdained to argue about these trivial matters, and Concubine Chen gave him this opportunity to defend himself, just to show goodwill.
Seeing that he was about to acquiesce, he only heard a woman's gentle and quiet voice saying, "Mother, do you want Erchen to say something?"
Concubine Chen's smile on her face hidden under the veil gradually deepened, and her gaze turned to Qi Nian's side like everyone else, "If the princess has something to say, please say it." ”
Li Jinjian's eyes were fixed on Qi Nian's face, as if he wanted to imprint her in his eyes.
"Thank you, Princess. Qi Nian slowly walked out of his seat, still calm in front of everyone, and said slowly: "First, the seat of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is very far from the seat of this young lady, why do you pass by?"
Miss Fu Yin couldn't help but look pale, and when she was about to refute, she heard her say again: "Second, all the young ladies here are all beautiful ladies, naturally they are dignified, elegant, generous and decent, why did they fall when they saw His Highness?"
Miss Fu Yin didn't have any other thoughts at this time except for wanting to be angry. She was also pampered and raised at home, but she had never suffered such idleness.
But there is nothing she can do, the other party is the first princess of the imperial kingdom to be named a respected product in the Nanzhao Kingdom for thousands of years, even if what she said is all nonsense, she is the daughter of Yin Qianjin, the first district government, and she can't distinguish for herself.
"Thirdly, this palace sat opposite His Highness and saw it with his own eyes, His Highness did not want to reach out to help you, but avoided it with a dodge. Why, then, should men and women be intimate?"
Qi Nian's words were said by looking directly at Miss Yin, although her tone was flat and her face was ordinary, but her eyes were cold, as if she was going to freeze the other party.
The person who wants to tease her in front of her is really tired and crooked.
In fact, this Miss Fu Yin was also unlucky, and she hit a nail all of a sudden. If this is left as usual, just listen to her side. But Qi Nian couldn't get used to Li Jinjian's appearance of attracting bees and butterflies, if she didn't kill the chickens and monkeys and make an example of the daughters who went forward and pounced, I am afraid she would really not be able to swallow this breath.
Qi Nian finished these words in an orderly manner, and at this time, there was already a whisper in the Yuming Palace, and everyone turned their heads to each other, and what they said was just some broken words, but in the ears of Miss Fu Yin, it was particularly heart-piercing.
Lord Fu Yin finally couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly stepped forward and said very panickedly: "Back to the emperor, Niangniang, Her Royal Highness the princess, the little girl has been pampered at home since she was a child, and she is so ignorant and talking nonsense." Please also ask the emperor to forgive the sin of improper upbringing!"
These words are a little heavy, and it is really embarrassing for Lord Yin to love his daughter, and he is willing to sacrifice his face in order to save his daughter's face.
Mrs. Fu Yin also followed her husband and knelt down to plead guilty, and the Miss Fu Yin had already turned a delicate face, biting her lip and almost crying.
The emperor didn't care about this trivial matter, and only handed it over to Concubine Chen.
But Concubine Chen had the heart to please Qi Nian with this, so she only looked at her fixedly, and she didn't say a word.
Qi Nian lowered his eyes and saw that the family was quite miserable, but he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said softly: "My lord, madam, please get up first." The young lady is still a child's family, although there are gaffes, but it is only a trivial matter, and the two of them do not need to be so afraid. The reason why this palace will bluntly point out the mistakes of the young lady today is only because His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is an envoy appointed by the Weiyang State to marry, and he represents the face of the entire Weiyang Kingdom. If Miss Jing wronged His Highness with just a few words, it would be for us in Nanzhao to damage the friendly relations between the two countries. Yes, this palace is just a matter of facts, everyone has made it clear, His Royal Highness is also a magnanimous person, and I don't think I will be dissatisfied because of this. ”
Li Jinjian looked at her eyes, and naturally said kindly: "The princess's kindness, this king understands it." In this way, there is no need to worry about this matter anymore, and don't delay the wedding banquet. ”
Since he has said so, it would not be good to say anything else. So the music continued, and the dancing queen came and danced a new dance.
Fu Yin's family thanked them and went back to sit down.
Qi Nian only looked at the young lady's eyes, as if he was going to eat her.
She couldn't help but sigh lightly, she was really young and ignorant, and she was so vigorous.
At this time, when everyone in the hall looked at Qi Nian again, they all looked a little different from the inquiring or curious look just now.
