Chapter 23 Don't let it

Seeing that the Queen Mother's face was ugly, Princess Xianrong stepped forward and pulled Xie Rouhui back to the screen compartment.

"Your sister is so fierce." The other princesses standing behind the screen whispered with a grin.

Xie Rouhui was about to say something, but was pulled down by Princess Xianrong.

"Everyone can see whether your sister is fierce or not, it's the first time I've seen someone who dares to fight Fang Ziyuan when I'm so old, don't say these words." She said.

Xie Rouhui tugged at her sleeve.

"Princess." She said pleadingly.

Princess Hin Rong shook off her hand.

"The Queen Mother doesn't ask if she doesn't ask, once she wants to ask, it won't work if others speak." She whispered, "It's useless for me to say good things now, it's up to your sister to say it, I hope your sister is clever and a little measured." ”

They spoke in low voices, and they could hear Xie Roujia's voice coming from the other side of the screen.

"Because he scolded me."

One of the princesses laughed again.

"Your sister is so fierce." She said again, "Has no one ever scolded her?" ”

"What to do? If the Queen Mother scolds her for a while, will she be beaten? The other princess laughed.

Listening to these teases, Xie Rouhui looked embarrassed.

"Okay, you all shut up, you want to talk about going outside, don't care about Miss Xie, a good person is like this, he always has to be tired." Princess Hsien Rong said.

The Queen Mother over there had already asked someone to bring Fang Xiaogongzi here, and soon there was a shout of pitch change in the hall.

"Auntie! I'm going to die! ”

"Where did you die?" The queen slapped him angrily, "There are so many people." Why did you let you die, don't shout, the Queen Mother is still waiting for you to reply. ”

Fang Xiaogongzi raised a voice and said a low voice.

"Ziyuan, why are you scolding Second Miss Xie?" The Queen Mother asked, "Don't you know that the second miss of the Xie family was invited by the mourning family?" ”

Fang Ziyuan struggled to sit up from the recliner, covering his bruised eyes with one hand.

"Niangniang, of course I know, I just knew that I went up to greet her." He said aggrievedly, "I also told her who I am..."

Hearing this, the queen's eyes on the side glanced at Xie Roujia.

Speaking of identity, this little girl still dares to do it?

Don't say you don't know who Wen Changbo is. Her sister obviously knew a lot about the people in the palace.

"Less nonsense." The Queen Mother said. "Say hello well, no one will beat you, say, what did you say that annoyed Miss Xie."

Fang Ziyuan once again called wronged.

"I didn't say anything, I just praised Miss Xie for dancing well. She beat me. He said.

"It's not. It was he who asked me to dance with my sister. Xie Roujia said.

"What's wrong with telling you to dance? If I don't think you're dancing well. Can I tell you to jump? Fang Ziyuan shouted.

The Queen Mother snapped a few cases.

"Shut up, did the mother ask you?" One of the chamberlains shouted, "No rules! ”

Fang Ziyuan stopped talking. Xie Roujia pursed her lips.

"That is, Fang Ziyuan, you let the second miss dance?" The Queen Mother asked.

"Yes." Fang Ziyuan said.

The Queen Mother looked at Xie Roujia again.

"Second Miss, because he said you would make you dance, you hit him?" She asked.

"He stopped me from leaving, and said that if I didn't jump, I wouldn't want to leave the palace." Xie Roujia said.

"Why are you holding her back? The little girl doesn't want to jump, forget it, what are you doing in your way? The Queen Mother scolded.

"No, Queen Mother, it was she who rushed me first, and I asked her to apologize to me, but she refused, so I got angry and said that she danced to make amends." Fang Ziyuan shouted.

"You talk nonsense!" Xie Roujia shouted, "You provoked me first, and you opened your mouth to let me dance!" ”

This time, without waiting for the Queen Mother to shoot a few cases, the chamberlain screamed and stopped.

"Don't say that you are reasonable, whether you are reasonable or not, it is not up to you to have the final say, if you dare to tell lies, I will not spare you." The queen looked at Fang Ziyuan and scolded.

Of course, Xie Roujia could also hear this.

"I'm not lying." Fang Ziyuan said pitifully.

"Did you say it, it's not up to you, so many people see it." The queen said, looking at the king of Dongping who was sitting quietly on the side, "Dongping, what do you say?" ”

The king of Dongping County had not spoken since he came in, and he smiled when he heard this.

"Mother, when I arrived, I just stopped them from fighting, and as for why they were fighting, I didn't see or hear it." He said.

The queen looked at the queen mother again.

"Niangniang, call someone in and ask?" She asked.

Before the words fell, I heard the emperor shouting outside.

The emperor is coming?

People inside and outside hurriedly stood up to greet him, and Xie Roujia also turned his head and watched a man in his forties walk in, with Zhou Chengzhen beside him.

Xie Roujia lowered her gaze and followed everyone to bow.

"Why did you come here?" The Queen Mother asked.

Before the emperor could speak, Zhou Chengzhen spoke.

"Niangniang, I invited Your Majesty to come over." He said with a smile.

The Queen Mother glared at him.

"What's the matter with you!" She shouted.

"Niangniang, how can this kind of thing be hidden from His Majesty." Zhou Chengzhen said, "Besides, Fang Ziyuan still slapped the emperor and Niangniang in the face. ”

As soon as he said this, Fang Ziyuan jumped up from the recliner.

"Zhou Chengzhen, what nonsense are you talking about!" He shouted.

"Am I talking nonsense? I've seen it with my own eyes, it's you who molested other little girls, stopped you from leaving, said something indiscreet, and deserved to be beaten. Zhou Chengzhen said.

"Zhou Chengzhen, you are talking nonsense!" Fang Ziyuan shouted, and thought that Zhou Chengzhen was coming with the emperor this time, and he must have already complained to the emperor, and he was busy saluting the emperor again, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I really don't, Zhou Chengzhen is slanderous, he has an enmity with me, you can't just listen to him, and then ask others to ask." ”

"If I have a grudge against you, I slander you?" Zhou Chengzhen hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Then others have no enmity with you, they are shielding you." ”

What she said directly blocked the Queen Mother, saying that she was looking for someone to confront her.

The queen frowned. Displeasure also appeared on the Queen Mother's face, and she thought of something to look at Xie Roujia.

The girl kept her head down and looked quiet.

Zhou Chengzhen's eyes also looked at her, and she made no secret of her smugness.

Look at it, only the master can protect you.

Don't be afraid of anything, I'll move directly to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Majesty!" Fang Zi jumped to his feet vigorously, but he was not blind, seeing that the queen didn't speak, he didn't dare to shout anymore, so he had to shout aggrievedly.

The Emperor smiled.

"Your injury was caused by Miss Xie Er?" He asked.

Fang Ziyuan nodded immediately, and his voice became weak.

"And there's more." He pointed to himself here and there.

The Emperor's gaze had already turned to Xie Roujia.

"Are you the second lady of the Xie family?" He asked.

Xie Roujia responded. She lowered her head and felt the Emperor's gaze sweep over her.

"It's kind of like your sister." The Emperor laughed.

Xie Rouhui, who had already come out from behind the screen and was standing in the palace with the princesses, hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute.

"陛xià. It's because I didn't take good care of my sister. She said.

The Emperor smiled.

"You beat him because he molested you?" He continued.

"Yes." Xie Roujia said.

"No, it's not, it's just that Fang Gongzi is joking, my sister is thin-skinned and annoyed." Xie Rouhui hurriedly followed. "陛xià. This is a misunderstanding. ”

Hearing her say this, the faces of the Queen Mother and the Queen were a little better.

"What kind of joke is he playing?" The Emperor asked.

That's the most critical question.

Although the emperor came over after listening to Zhou Chengzhen's words. But at this moment, the problem was kicked at this girl again.

Then the outcome of this matter will fall on this little girl.

As Zhou Chengzhen said, the emperor would protect her at this time, but she immediately offended the queen mother.

If it's the same as her sister said. admits that this matter is a joke and misunderstanding, then the emperor can't leave a good impression here, and the queen mother won't take her favor.

It seems that the emperor did not intend to protect her at all, otherwise he would not have thrown the problem to her.

The Queen Mother's face was much better, and she swallowed what she wanted to say.

The hall fell silent, and all eyes fell on Xie Roujia.

Zhou Chengzhen almost saw through her.

Don't be cowardly, this is a good opportunity for revenge, I have paved the way for you, and let me speak hard with the spirit of beating me.

"He made me dance." Xie Roujia said.

Poof, I don't know who laughed out loud.

You're stupid!

What a joke is dancing! What a joke worth beating people to death at once!

The joke of life and death should at least be a ridiculous joke that is touched and pinched in the face!

Zhou Chengzhen almost jumped up and glared at her.

The Queen Mother smiled with a little disapproval.

"Just because he said a joke that made you dance?" The Emperor asked with a smile.

Xie Roujia raised her head.

"Your Majesty, is this a joke?" She asked.

The Emperor looked at her.

"Oh, it's a bit excessive, and you should be angry." He said indifferently.

"It turns out that His Majesty thinks it's just a bit excessive." Xie Roujia said, "Then why did His Majesty order us to see the Xie family? Is this also a joke? ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people in the temple were shocked.

Is she questioning the emperor?

The Queen Mother's face sank.

"What a temper." A voice suddenly sounded, and there was a smile.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look over, and saw that it was the king of Dongping County who had been sitting quietly and was about to be forgotten by everyone.

Seeing that everyone was looking over, the king of Dongping County smiled but did not speak again.

But, yes, this little girl's temper is really not small.

dared to throw his face at the emperor.

"Second Miss Xie thinks I'm wrong?" The Emperor asked, no smile on his face.

The younger princesses in the hall all bowed their heads with a little fear.

The emperor's temper is actually not small.

It's a little bad, she just wants Xie Roujia to be humiliated and rejected by the royal people, but she doesn't want the Xie family to be disgusted, the Xie family is disgusted now, but it will hurt her.

It's just that......

This is another excellent opportunity to anger the emperor, and this guy will never be able to turn over again in his life.

The Xie family will be rejected if she is disgusted by the emperor, anyway, she will not be rejected by the Xie family, she is still and is an irreplaceable eldest lady.

Xie Rouhui also lowered her head, the hands in her sleeves were clenched, and her heart was pounding.

Hurry, anger the Emperor.

"Yes." Xie Roujia said, although there was fear on her face, she still straightened her back.

This damn stinky girl!

Zhou Chengzhen opened his mouth to speak, but the emperor took a few cases.

The people in the hall trembled, and Zhou Chengzhen's words were also stuck.

"How bold!" The Emperor shouted, his voice full of anger, "Where is my mistake? ”

"Your Majesty is angry." The chaotic sound sounded, and the people in the temple fell to their knees with a hula and a sigh.

Xie Roujia, who was standing, was particularly conspicuous.

"Your Majesty, you are wrong not to edict our Xie family to enter Beijing, and Your Majesty is even more wrong not to edict our Xie family to enter Beijing as a pilgrimage."

The girl's voice sounded in the hall, overshadowing the anger of the audience.

"Your Majesty, why did you order our Xie family to enter Beijing? Is it because our Xie family's cinnabar business is getting bigger? ”

Xie Roujia said, shaking her head.

"No, no matter how powerful it is, it's bigger than His Majesty's country."

"Your Majesty, why did you give me the gift of Hajj? Is it because our Xie family is rich and rivals the country? ”

"No, no matter how rich you are, can you be richer than Your Majesty's Sheji?"

"Our Xie family is up and down, inside and out, and we in Bashu all think that it is because our Xie family sacrificed the phoenix blood stone, and because our Xie family sacrificed on the third day of March to send a vision from the sky as auspicious."

"Why did our Xie family find the phoenix bloodstone? Why did you get a vision from heaven? It is because our Xie family is a great witch and a descendant of Wuqing, and these are all gods and spirits who have given it to all the people to His Majesty. ”

"So our Xie family communicates with the gods of heaven and earth with witches, so His Majesty rewarded our Xie family with such glory, but I didn't expect that His Majesty didn't think so."

"Your Majesty, our Xie family is a witch, how does a witch communicate with the gods? It's a dance. ”

"Your Majesty, that's a witch dance, it's a witch dance that respects heaven and earth, ghosts and gods."

"Now, some people even ask our Xie family to dance for him in public, saying that our Xie family dances well, regards our Xie family as a dancer, and takes the witch dance as a trick for people to enjoy."

"And His Majesty actually thinks it's just a joke, it's just an excessive joke."

Xie Roujia looked at the emperor who was high above, and there were tears rolling down her eyes.

It was you who wanted to take the pill yourself, and if something went wrong with it, you would destroy the Xie family.

That's a race, the lives of young and old, those are innocent lives.

"Your Majesty, since our Xie family is just a dancing person in your eyes, why do you want us to enter Beijing, why do you treat each other so politely!"

At this point, she took a deep breath.

"But others can think it's a joke, and you can also think it's a joke, but I won't think so, and the people of the Xie family won't think so."

She raised her hands above her head.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to check and ask again, and you don't have to think about all parties, Fang Ziyuan is Xie Shi Roujia, I shot and injured me, I plead guilty and accept punishment, but I will dispose of it."

She bowed to the emperor.

"Willingly proud of it."

The hall was silent, looking at the figure of the little girl bowing down slowly, many people only felt as if a stone was pressing over, and they couldn't help but freeze their breath.

Mother...

Fang Ziyuan was already sluggish.

Isn't it just a fight, how can it be like a scholar admonishing and dying generously for loyalty?

Zhou Chengzhen's face was no longer a little anxious and irritable, but instead it was heavy, with a flickering fluorescence in his eyes.
