Chapter Eighty-Three: The Storm Before the Banquet

Ning Mingyu's inadvertent smile and look will make everyone here sigh.

The young ladies whispered eagerly, and Ruan Ge couldn't help but stretch out his ears to listen. Some said: "Sure enough, it is worthy of its name, I heard my father say that this second prince has just returned to the capital after traveling abroad, and it is really a stunning city, like an immortal descending into the world, not like a mortal." ”

Others said: "My uncle said that the second prince is a person with a cold personality, and there is rarely any expression on his face, and it is even more rare to see a smile on his face." But when I saw it today, the second prince was gentle and kind, and it seemed that my uncle must be lying to me. Hum! ”

There was also a girl in green, who came over and said without suspicion: "I used to think that the third prince and the prince Ronghua were simply gods descending from heaven, but when I saw the second prince today, they were all eclipsed!" ”

The one over there said, "Tianjiao, didn't you say that the person you admire the most is the Third Highness?" Now that you see that the second prince is better looking than the third prince, you have defected? ”

Ruan Ge 'cut' in his heart, and said in his heart, you must know the annoying nature of the 'iceberg face', and you won't be so admirable.

At this moment, I heard a coquettish voice, and before anyone arrived, the voice arrived first: "Bastard, who gave you the guts, the courage to dare to say bad things about my brother Chen, even if you are not worthy of being her concubine, it is simply shameless." ”

As soon as the words fell, a bowl of steaming plum tea on the table had already splashed on the skirt of the girl in green, and in an instant, the bright red plum tea penetrated into the clothes of the girl in green, forming a large and obvious stain on the emerald green dress. The girl screamed, jumped to the side, and shook the plum tea on her body. Fortunately, the plum tea was only splashed on the hem of the clothes and did not burn the skin.

The girl in green raised her head angrily, about to have a seizure, but when she saw the person in front of her, she swallowed back the words that she was about to blurt out, and just looked at the arrogant woman in front of her angrily. The surrounding girls bowed down and saluted after seeing Xia Xueqing, and then took a few steps back, but no one dared to dissuade them. The woman in front of her was none other than Xia Xueqing, the lord of Yining County.

It's just that Ruan Ge has seen too many of the arrogance and unreasonableness of this woman, but he never expected that she would dare to be so unscrupulous and domineering in the palace.

Xia Xueqing, who was dressed in a gorgeous palace dress, looked like a royal princess, and wanted to attack the woman in green, but suddenly found Ruan Ge standing on the side. Ruan Ge had no choice but to meet her gaze. What made Ruan Ge feel relieved was that she finally stopped wearing 'orange suits'.

Xia Xueqing's eyes widened in surprise, obviously not expecting to see Ruan Ge in the palace.

"It's you! How did you end up here? Xia Xueqing asked in surprise. Then she raised her eyebrows, and said with a cold smile: "I really didn't expect that Brother Chen got rid of you, and you actually chased Brother Chen all the way to the capital, and your skin is thicker than the city wall." ”

Ning Mingyu, who was not far away, also saw the situation on this side, his brows furrowed coldly, and his eyes looked at Xia Xueqing fiercely.

Ruan Ge didn't want to worry about her, but he also wanted to do more than less, so he barked as a dog. But when she thought of the pity star who was seriously injured by her, the anger in her heart increased.

Ruan Ge said with a smile: "The personality of the county lord of Yining is really lively and cute, and the love is deep!" One by one, 'Brother Chen' screamed, and I don't know which brother is the lucky 'Brother Chen' in your mouth? ”

There was a woman next to her who couldn't help but laugh in a low voice, Xia Xueqing was annoyed when she heard it, even if everyone knew the answer, but they couldn't answer, a big girl couldn't say that she liked Ning Mingchen in public, although she had shouted a thousand times and ten thousand times in her heart.

"Hehe, Ruan Ge, your methods are really clever, after hooking up with the Third Highness here, and entangled with Prince Ronghua over there, the emperor is still confused, the county lord really admires it, I don't know if this man's ability can be taught to the sisters?" Xia Xueqing said without blushing and without a beat.

As soon as these words came out, everyone hid their faces and shook their heads, a big girl who had not yet left the pavilion, and she was also the lord of the county, actually said such vulgar words, and they all looked at Xia Xueqing like a joke.

Xia Tianfeng also heard Xia Xueqing messing around not far away, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing, so he walked towards this side quickly in anger.

Ruan Ge now can't figure out whether this Xia Xueqing is really brainless, or if she is doing it on purpose. Ruan Ge couldn't laugh or cry, she didn't bother to argue with such a person at all, so she would solve it quickly.

"First of all, I want to state to you that if you want to bring humiliation on yourself in public, I, Ruan Ge, can't control it, and I have no right to control it. But I am a guest invited by Emperor Bixia, and if you humiliate me for no reason, you will despise the emperor, and it is light to treat you as a great disrespect. Ruan Ge is neither humble nor arrogant.

Xia Xueqing said contemptuously: "What kind of thing are you, dare to cure the crime of this county lord, today this county lord will let you know who is teaching whom?" After speaking, he raised his palm and was about to hit Ruan Ge.

Before Ruan Ge could react, Xia Xueqing's raised hand had already been grabbed by one hand, and she screamed in pain. The hand that grabbed her shook Xia Xueqing's hand away, Xia Xueqing couldn't stand the pain anymore, and she was about to fall down with inertia. Fortunately, Xia Tianfeng grabbed his daughter so that he didn't fall.

Seeing that her daughter was almost injured, what if she changed to usual? But at this time, he didn't dare to make a mistake, because the person he was facing was Ning Mingyu.

Ning Mingyu turned around and gently asked Ruan Ge if he was injured, and Ruan Ge shook his head. He turned around and said to the Xia father and daughter with a gloomy face, "Don't forget, this is the palace. Be aware of who you are and what you say and do. Prime Minister Xia, this king knows that you are very busy with state affairs, but the son is not the godfather's fault, so it is better to take more time to educate and educate the daughter. ”

Xia Xueqing was so angry that she was about to say something against her, but she was stopped by Xia Tianfeng and said again and again, 'Yes, yes, yes', 'His Royal Highness taught him', 'The old minister has no way to teach his daughter, and he knows that he is wrong!'" Everyone was also shocked by Ning Mingyu's momentum, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

But at this time, a gloomy and condensed voice said: "Who said that you have no way to teach your daughter?" Then the inner supervisor shouted loudly: "The emperor has arrived, and the concubine has arrived." ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly bowed their knees, and Emperor Jiaxuan was dressed in a bright yellow brocade five-clawed dragon robe, wearing a red gold dragon head crown, smiling and radiant.

Tu Guifei on the side, dressed in a rose-red and gorgeous splendid phoenix robe, surrounded by pearls and emeralds on her head, lined with a pretty face. But at this time, his face sank like water, and his eyes looked at Ning Mingyu and Ruan Ge coldly.

When she saw Xia Xueqing, who was being supported by Xia Tianfeng, her face was full of grievances, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she hurriedly said, "Qing'er, come to the concubine?" Let this palace see, where are you hurt? ”

When Xia Xueqing saw that the concubine was coming, the tears in her eyes fell like beads with broken threads, as if she had been wronged and had nowhere to cry, and threw herself into Tu Guifei's arms.

Tu Guifei stroked her back and comforted her repeatedly: "Child, don't cry, don't cry, tell your mother, who bullied you?" ”

Xia Xueqing cried even more fiercely.

Tu Guifei's favor for this Yining county lord has long been spread by people inside and outside the palace, but seeing it with his own eyes today, Ruan Ge couldn't help but sigh. It seems that Tu Guifei is really fond of this Xia Xueqing, and she came up and asked who bullied her baby goddaughter without asking.

Xia Tianfeng said that he was interested: "Concubine Niangniang, it is Xue Qing who is playful and a little petty, but she is not injured." When the minister returns, he will teach her a good lesson. ”

Emperor Jiaxuan also said: "The children are young, and it is inevitable that there will be no stumbles, so let's take care of each other more." ”

The matter was originally over, but who knew that Xia Xueqing did not forgive, she didn't dare to accuse Ning Mingyu, but pointed at Ruan Ge and said: "Mother, it was she who bullied her sons, not only humiliating me, but also insulting you and the emperor in a row." ”

Ruan Ge didn't expect this Xia Xueqing to come to such a bad move, but she was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, such a person would not know how to accept it when he saw it, and sooner or later he would lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

Tu Guifei looked at Ruan Ge with sharp eyes: "It's you again, it seems that you are really ghostly." Someone came, pushed her down to the palace and waited for her to fall. ”

Before the words fell, I heard Ning Mingyu say coldly: "I think who dares to touch her?" ”

Tu Guifei was stunned, and then raised her eyebrows: "Second Emperor, does this mean to stop the palace?" The palace deals with criminals, so the emperor doesn't have to worry about it. ”

"Why don't you say that the criminal, the concubine Niangniang will make a big fuss!" Ning Mingyu's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he said coldly.

"How to deal with this palace, I don't work to explain to the emperor that the emperor is sick twice in three days, and it is important to take care of his body as soon as possible. Don't go out and walk around on such occasions in the future. Otherwise, my neighbors will still think that I have no one in charge of Ningxuan Kingdom, and I have to rely on the sick prince. Tu Guifei said harshly.

"This king is not old and the concubine is bothered, and many things in this harem are enough for you to be busy, and some things that you should not interfere with should not be tired."

There was something in this clear statement, and Tu Guifei was angry and wanted to speak out again.

Emperor Jia Xuan, who was on the side, frowned, and then said: "Let's not interfere in the children's affairs, but it will hurt their harmony." ”

The ministers on the side also echoed the voice.

Ruan Ge couldn't stand it anymore, a group of people were originally going to the state banquet, but now they are chirping here for this trivial matter, which is really funny enough.

She saluted Emperor Jiaxuan, and then said: "Emperor Qiqi, if the fault is Ruan Ge, Ruan Ge will never shirk his responsibility." If Ruan Ge is not at fault, I will not be wronged and take responsibility. Besides, this was a gag between the youngest daughter's family, and it wasn't that serious. Put these aside, the most important thing now is the holding of today's banquet, the success of the banquet is related to the friendly relations between Ning Feng and the two, if the envoys of Feng see me Ning Xuanwen and Wu hundred officials get together and argue endlessly, it is actually for such trivial things, I am afraid that if it is spread out, my neighbors will laugh off their big teeth. Therefore, the top priority is the banquet in front of us, and it is not too late to investigate this matter after the banquet, and Ruan Ge will definitely cooperate unconditionally at that time. Please ask the emperor to put state affairs first. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the applause of 'Papapa', and a person walked in front of everyone.
