Chapter 193: Knowing
"If any of you have an opinion, stand up and speak, what does it mean to hide in the crowd?"
Wen Mengfan was really confused, so he simply broke the jar and didn't care about anything. As soon as he said this, the crowd of onlookers fell silent.
As we all know, the Wen family is a relative of the former dynasty, and after being a real nobleman, the current Qingguo Gong, like the old lady of Jian'an Houfu, was knighted after making meritorious contributions at the founding of this dynasty. Now that the old grandfather is more than eighty years old, he has been mixed in officialdom all his life, and he has a wide range of contacts. Wen Mengfan's father has also been in the officialdom for many years, although Wen Taowu is not very good, but he is as good as his old father in interpersonal communication, and the old grandfather is extremely protective of his shortcomings, and he has already paved the way for his son to advance, so you can imagine how Wen Mengfan's father will be after taking the throne!
Even if Wen Mengfan's behavior was really uncomfortable, no one in the audience wanted to offend such a character, so at this time, as soon as Wen Mengfan said that people with opinions would stand up and speak, no one would stand up.
As the saying goes, if you shoot a bird in the head, say a few words with others, make a coax, but there is no actual loss, after all, she is a little girl in the crowd and can't recognize who you are, but if you stand up, it will be different.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!
"Miss Ben is the daughter of the dignified National Mansion, and it is simply impossible to make Miss Ben kneel to a slut!"
Seeing that the maid who went to report the news had not come back yet, and the onlookers were aggressive, Wen Mengfan simply played a trick directly, thinking that even if she admitted that she lost to Xia Xue'er, no one would dare to do anything to her, could it be that someone would dare to force her to kneel?
It really didn't seem like these words came from the mouth of a well-bred daughter, and there was a bustle in the crowd, and the voices of accusation came and went, but they were also like mosquitoes and flies, and no one wanted to be the bird that came out.
The corners of Xia Xue'er's mouth hooked slightly, and she asked very calmly: "Who is the slut scolding?" ”
Wen Mengfan sneered, I really don't know if this person had his head upside down when he was riding a horse just now, if it is so obvious, do you still need to ask?
But she didn't want to let go of any opportunity to humiliate the other party, so she blurted out almost without thinking: "Do you still need to ask, the slut is naturally scolding you!" ”
Xia Xue'er not only did not get angry after hearing this, but nodded with a smile, her eyes full of playfulness. There were people in the crowd who couldn't help laughing, but Wen Mengfan was confused, and after thinking about it for a while, she suddenly knew what others were laughing at, and she was even more annoyed and angry!
"Xia Xue'er, you ...... You ...... so angry that you can't even finish your words!
actually set her up, and what was even more infuriating was that he fell into the trap she set so defenselessly!
In this regard, Xia Xueer still maintained a proper smile on her face. Compared with Wen Mengfan's impatience, her light cloud and light breeze made people feel a little chilled.
Since 500 years ago, there have been few marquis who have held real power, unless they are particularly trusted by the emperor and are particularly outstanding in a certain aspect, such as Xia Qingxuan. In addition, most of the titles are set up for people with high status and outstanding achievements. Although the person who is knighted has the right to eat the fief, he does not have the right to govern the fief, and the hereditary title is to ensure that future generations have no worries about food and clothing. In this case, the one that comes out of the heir only needs to attack the lord, but the Duke of Qingguo is the prince of the country who eats and eats ten thousand households, but he is doing the opposite of the intention of the knight, he has worked hard to win the hearts of the people for the son who has not yet attacked the lord, what is behind this, I don't know what our emperor will conjecture!
On the side of the couch, others are not allowed to snore, not to mention that the emperor of the dynasty is no longer the founding emperor. What Qingguo Gong has done over the years has become a thorn in the emperor's side. If he knew the restraint, he would have shifted his gaze out of the court from now on, and only been an idle person who drank tea and watched the flowers, maybe the emperor would let him live, and the Baoqing Guogong Mansion would be prosperous. But he still doesn't stop when he is old, and he breaks his heart for his son, among the three provinces and six departments, where is there anything that has not been touched by him?
Xia Xue'er has read too many historical deeds, and there are many cases of Qingguo Gong unscrupulously intruding on the emperor's power institutions and ruining his family.
After she learned that Qingguo Gong had a close relationship with many ministers in the court, she had already seen the demise of the Wen family, but she was not sure when the Mu family was going to do it. It wasn't until she deliberately revealed to Mu Xuanlong that the Eighth Prince and Wen Mengfan might form a marriage that she was sure that the Duke of Qingguo would die soon.
Mu Xuanlong is a smart man, he has already seen his father's heart disease, so no matter how useful Qingguo Gong is at the moment, he has not gotten too close to him, let alone the idea of marrying the Wen family's daughter. In contrast, the eighth prince was much more stupid, not only did he get along with Qingguo in private, but he also stupidly asked the emperor for marriage, which is no wonder the emperor would give him a marriage to the seventh lady of the Yanguo Mansion. The Wen clan does not have half of the power in the court, and it has always been well-behaved, and it is about to fade out of people's field of vision. The emperor's move must also have the meaning of warning him to stop in moderation and learn more rules in the future!
If the emperor had no plans for the Qingguo Mansion, then how could he be lightly interfered by Mu Xuanlong and veto the marriage request of the eighth prince? If Wen Mengfan marries into the royal family, he will be able to save his life when the Wen family suffers disasters in the future, and the emperor will not even leave this only vein, which shows that he has hated him to the bone marrow!
"See the Eight Princes!"
While others were busy watching the excitement, Xia Xue'er suddenly saluted the opposite side, and everyone followed the prestige to find the eighth prince who came at an unknown time, and hurriedly saluted. When Wen Mengfan saw the Eighth Prince, he was startled at first, and then he came to his senses, and hurriedly rushed to the place where Mu Xuanhan was, he was very worried in his heart, and he didn't know what he had heard!
Mu Xuanhan first set his eyes on Wen Mengfan, she was in front of his side, so even if she lowered her head, he could see her pursing her lips, her cheeks flushed, and her body trembling slightly. This woman who asked his father for marriage but was vetoed, is it really a barbaric and unreasonable straw bag? Wen Mengfan felt that the eyes of the Eighth Emperor fell on him, and while feeling aggrieved, he was panicked, and he couldn't help but even turn his ears red!
Then, Mu Xuanhan moved his gaze to Xia Xue'er's body, couldn't help frowning, and immediately asked, "What is your name, whose daughter is it?" ”
What a knowingly asked! (To be continued.) )
