Chapter 194: So I asked
"Courtier's daughter Xia Xue'er, her father's name is Xia Qingxuan."
Although she knew that Mu Xuanhan was knowingly asking, Xia Xue'er still replied respectfully.
"Oh, it turned out to be An Guohou's daughter!" Mu Xuanhan raised his eyebrows, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, and then said: "I have long heard that the third young lady has sharp teeth and a good blue heart, and I can see it today that the rumors are true!" ”
"Your Highness." Be humble but not humble.
Mu Xuanhan was slightly surprised by the attitude and reaction of the woman in front of him. Even if the people present did not have the opportunity to speak, most of them were worried and cautious, but she, at a young age, was calm and calm in the face of the prince, and she couldn't see any nervousness, and she had never met him, but she could accurately recognize him in the chaos, this eyesight is really rare!
nodded thoughtfully, although his eyesight is good, but he doesn't know how to behave! Then he changed his words, looked at Xia Xue'er and asked, "The two of you are staying here, but is there any contradiction?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their eyes to Xia Xue'er, and they all had the same expectations as the Eighth Prince, wondering how this daughter of the Marquis of Anguo Mansion would answer. Wen Mengfan also held her breath and stared at Xia Xue'er with big eyes, for fear that she would take this opportunity to sue her. After the marriage, she was no longer sure if the unpredictable Eighth Prince in front of her would protect her. If he takes on the role of iron-faced selflessness, when the time comes, with just one sentence, she will have to kneel, and she will have to kneel if she doesn't!
Xia Xue'er lowered her eyebrows, she couldn't see her facial expression clearly, her thin lips were revealed, and she replied unhurriedly: "Your Highness has misunderstood, there has never been a conflict between me and Miss Wen Si", and then raised her head, and turned her eyes to Wen Mengfan, who was full of nervousness and staring at her with wide eyes, directly ignoring the warning in her eyes, and said slowly: "We just made a bet on a whim." ”
"Oh, really?" Mu Xuanhan frowned slightly, he was still a little surprised by such an answer, and then asked, "What kind of bet did you make, can you tell this king?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, little ...... It's just a small bet, and it's not worth mentioning. ”
Without waiting for Xia Xue'er to answer, Wen Mengfan opened her mouth first, she was afraid that Xia Xue'er would not know what to do, so she really told the eighth prince about the gambling contract. For her interjection, Mu Xuanhan glanced at her with some displeasure, and she lowered her head weakly.
"Really?"
Mu Xuanhan moved his gaze to Xia Xue'er, as if he was confirming Wen Mengfan's words, and as if he wanted to hear her say it in person, how would she answer?
Looking at Wen Mengfan's tense and stiff body, as well as the beads of sweat flowing from her sideburns, Xia Xue'er's lips hooked up a meaningless smile, and then turned her gaze back to Mu Xuanhan, and replied calmly: "It's just a small fight between girls, and if you say it, you may be laughed at by His Highness." ”
Originally, she didn't plan to ask for Wen Mengfan's three rings, not to mention that she didn't bother to do it!
Now just looking at Wen Mengfan's scare, it can be regarded as a small punishment and a big commandment, and when the goal is achieved, she is ready to stop. Besides, looking at the expression of the Eighth Prince, most of them knew what was going on, but he asked knowingly, just to see what she would do, whether the little belly chicken intestine took the opportunity to step on it, or the prime minister put the boat in his belly and let her go. The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, not to mention that the emperor has not yet taken care of the Qingguo Prince, with the old grandfather to protect his shortcomings, after Wen Mengfan knelt, he would not dare to settle the account on the eighth prince, and it would only be his father and eldest brother who would be embarrassed at that time, although the Marquis of Anguo Mansion was not afraid of him Qingguo Mansion, but why did she bother to trouble her father and brother?
Xia Xue'er also knew in her heart that whether she knelt or not, her feud with Wen Mengfan was settled, and Wen Mengfan would not be grateful for her deliberate concealment today. But this matter, she didn't do it to make Wen Mengfan grateful, so many people present, who had a shot in their hearts, so many pairs of eyes watching, even if the Minister of Qingguo stumbled in the future, it was inevitable that he would have some scruples, after all, he wanted someone to support his unsuccessful son, and his attitude towards the "benefactor" was very important!
Hearing this answer, Wen Mengfan breathed a sigh of relief, although Xia Xue'er didn't take the opportunity to sue her, she wouldn't forgive her because of this, she still had resentment in her heart, and it was a little deeper! The rest of the people present admired her. After comparing with Wen Mengfan, Fang highlighted the godson of the Marquis of Anguo's mansion. Just look at Xia Xue'er, no matter her temperament or shape, her words and deeds all show the dignity of everyone's ladies, and she is worthy of being the queen of the Zhao family in Jiangnan!
After Mu Xuanhan heard her words, he just glanced at the onlookers, and there was a touch of playfulness in his eyes.
He didn't know anything about horse racing, and a little guy had a rough idea with him earlier, and when he led the horse out, he saw her two arguing here, saying that it was an argument, but in fact, only Miss Wen from the Qingguo Mansion was fighting. Miss Xia of the Marquis of Anguo Mansion made good use of people's hearts, although she didn't say a few words from beginning to end and was peaceful, she was extremely pressing, and she suppressed Wen Mengfan to a state where there was no way back in just a few words.
To have such scheming at such an age is really terrifying!
But if it is taken under his own command, isn't it equivalent to a tiger with wings?
Thinking of this, he didn't plan to continue to ask, Xia Xue'er could know that it was enough to reflect her measurements!
The matter was settled, the excitement was gone, and everyone naturally dispersed with the Eighth Prince.
Wen Mengfan was frightened, and she had already forgotten about the horse race, not to mention the matter of dealing with Maxima, she knew that she had lost the face of the Qingguo Mansion in this public, she was now full of her grandfather's hideous face, grandpa has always valued face, this time I don't know how to deal with her, she has already been scared and weak, so she can only be supported by the maid left and right to walk in the direction of the palace.
The groom was holding Wen Mengfan's horse in his hand, and he didn't know what to do, was it really as the young lady ordered, slaughtered?
The horse seemed to know what the groom was thinking, raised its front hooves and roared, and went in the direction where Xia Xue'er was, and was about to break free of the reins. Xia Xue'er sighed lightly, took a few steps forward, and touched its long face, soothing the restlessness in its heart.
"It's a pity...... muttered, his eyes full of regret.
Mu Xuanhan, who had not gone far yet, was attracted by the neighing of the horse, and saw this warm scene after following the prestige, and couldn't help but sigh that Xia Xue'er still had such a charm, and even the horse was willing to listen to her! So he turned around, walked to the side of the horse, and reached out to touch the mane on the horse's neck, and couldn't help but praise: "It is indeed a good horse!" ”
The two of them stood facing each other across a horse, and the scene was in full view of Mu Xuanlong, who was not far away, and couldn't help frowning, an inexplicable anger rose in his heart, and he walked like the two of them. (To be continued.) )
