Chapter XXII

In view of Yuan's accusation again, coupled with Ye Nianchen's complete refusal to admit it, and his shameful attitude of not even bothering to defend himself, many people accused Ye Nianchen of crusading against him for a while.

None of the men in the area joined in the dispute between the women, but they all looked like they were watching a play, sticking out their heads and ears to watch, and discussing a few words from time to time.

Some noble ladies asked Ye Nianchen in public to make amends and compensate Concubine Yuan, and their attitude must be 12 points sincere, and they must make Concubine Yuan and the people present feel satisfied.

Otherwise, Ye Nianchen's rude and arrogant behavior must be severely punished, and it must not be spared!

Looking at the faces that thought they represented "justice", Ye Nianchen couldn't say how funny, but she didn't plan to deal with those people who were jumping up and down, she just swept them one by one and wrote down those faces.

Seeing that the trouble was getting bigger and bigger, the emperor and his entourage finally came.

Everyone hurriedly stopped their previous words and demeanors, and got up to greet them.

Today, the queen and the concubines did not go together, and the emperor was followed by only the prince and the second prince and others, in addition, there were also the national teacher Gu Mingyi, who was treated politely by the emperor, and another acquaintance that Ye Nianchen also knew - Qin Haocheng.

The national teacher is deeply respected by the emperor, and it is normal to invite him to accompany him all the way, but seeing that the seats of others are close to the emperor, they are about to catch up with the prince.

As for Qin Haocheng, he stood directly beside the emperor and never sat down.

It seems that he should be on an errand in front of the emperor now, so although he is the identity of the little marquis, compared to the sons below who are purely accompanying and playing, he has finally become different, and the whole person is obviously a little more responsible and upright than in the past.

When their group came over, a group of people besieging Ye Nianchen were making a fuss, so although it was not clear what exactly happened, everyone with eyes could see that there was a dispute and contradiction.

Gu Mingyi's gaze fell on Ye Nianchen through the chaotic crowd almost immediately, looking at the girl's leisurely face, he couldn't help but show a smile.

And it was Qin Haocheng who was completely different, he also saw Ye Nianchen at a glance, but there was inevitably a little more worry in his eyes.

"There's no need to be polite, today's play is the main thing, not in the palace, and it doesn't hurt to put the rules or something first." After the salute, the emperor was extremely kind, and there was a hint of kindness on his face.

Today's people are all young juniors, many of whom have this or that connection with the royal family, according to folk sayings, they can be regarded as relatives, so it is normal for the emperor to have such an attitude.

However, having said that, none of the people below really put aside all the rules or anything, and after Qi Qi claimed to be grateful, how should he be.

When today's son is in his prime of middle age, he is well maintained, and his facial features are quite upright, but his body is slightly blessed.

"I saw a lot of people around there just now, arguing about something?" After a while, the emperor's gaze swept in the direction of Ye Nianchen and the Yuan family, and he asked as if he was gossiping, but he did not name specific people.

The emperor personally asked, and the Yuan family seized the opportunity very well, hurriedly stepped forward, and replied respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the concubine had a little misunderstanding with the eldest lady of the Ye family before, but now it is okay, disturbing the emperor, it is really a crime that deserves death."

The Yuan family is not stupid, and he did not sue directly as soon as he came up, but seemed to be defending Ye Nianchen.

"Second brother, it turned out to be the ...... from your mansion and the Ye family" After hearing this, the emperor smiled and looked at his favorite second prince, but when he was halfway through, he couldn't remember what Ye Nianchen's name was.

"Your Majesty, the eldest lady of the Ye family is called Nianchen." Qin Hao, who was listening to the messenger behind the emperor, reminded him in a low voice and told the emperor Ye Nianchen's name.

Qin Haocheng knew that the emperor knew about Nianchen's sister, and even although he hadn't seen it before, he still had a deep impression of having such a person. It's just that for the emperor who has all kinds of opportunities, it is normal for him to fail to remember Ye Nianchen's name.

"Well, I remembered, Ye Nianchen, that's right." The emperor nodded, glanced at Qin Haocheng with a smile, and then continued to say to the second prince: "Since your side concubine said that it was a small misunderstanding, it is okay, so that's it." ”

Hearing this, before the second prince could reply, the personal maid beside the Yuan family couldn't stand.

I saw that the maid looked like she couldn't bear it anymore, strode forward and knelt down directly to the center towards the emperor, and begged sadly: "Emperor Shengming, things are not like that, my concubine is too kind-hearted, so she will be wantonly oppressed." The slave and maid have the courage to beg the emperor to administer justice for my concubine! ”

Seeing this, Yuan Shi looked anxious and wanted to stop it, but how could she have the qualifications to interrupt in front of the holy driver, such a move was nothing more than a show.

"What's going on?" The emperor frowned and asked, his gaze fell directly on Concubine Yuan and Ye Nianchen, and his expression was slightly displeased.

As an emperor, the most disliked thing is naturally to be deceived, just now Yuan clearly said that things are fine, but the maid beside him actually crossed everyone in public, and knelt down to him on behalf of his master to beg for justice.

Concubine Yuan is the second prince's favorite concubine, the emperor has seen it twice, and although Ye Nianchen has never seen it before, he recognized it at a glance after arriving here.

Ye Nianchen didn't immediately come out to explain anything to the emperor, one was that they didn't directly call her name to let her reply, and the other was that it was not time to explain anything now.

Yuan's expression was complicated, and she didn't know what to say, but her loyal maid didn't need her to worry about it at all.

"Your Majesty, my concubine saw the eldest lady of the Ye family for the first time today, and because she didn't seem to have any friends sitting alone, she took the initiative to sit with her and talk to her."

The maid was full of righteous indignation, and kowtowed to the emperor again, showing her determination and loyalty, and continued: "My concubine has always been kind-hearted and warm-hearted, and I saw that the eldest lady of the Ye family was born as beautiful as a fairy, and I liked it from the bottom of my heart. Therefore, Concubine Fang kindly took her favorite mutton fat white jade bracelet on her wrist as a meeting gift and wanted to give it to Miss Ye. ”

"But who knows......"

When the maid said this, she looked at Ye Nianchen with great anger, her eyes were full of grievances, and she felt unjust for her side concubine: "But who knows, Miss Ye not only didn't appreciate it, but also deliberately humiliated the side concubine in public, and threw the mutton fat white jade bracelet to the ground and broke it." The poor side concubine had good intentions, but in the end, she was trampled on and humiliated like this! The side concubine is soft-hearted, and she doesn't want to make trouble, so she only concealed it for others when the emperor asked just now, and the slave couldn't bear to watch the side concubine being oppressed like this, so she dared to tell the truth, and asked the emperor to be the master of my side concubine! ”

The words were really full of emotion and grief and indignation, and many people present felt inexplicably angry.

"Impossible, Sister Nianchen would never do such a thing!" Qin Haocheng subconsciously retorted, not believing the maid's words at all.
