Chapter 70: Dilemma

But the more she knew this, the more angry the Queen Mother's heart became.

Nowadays, the decision-making power of the country is in the hands of Gong Xiuzhu.

Now that even the crown prince has fallen into the hands of Chu Xuewei, won't this country have to be at the mercy of their husband and wife in the future?

Thinking of this, a cold light suddenly flashed in the Queen Mother's sharp eyes.

The corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she said indifferently: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, and the mourning family will definitely order someone to find out and see where these rumors came from." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Chu Xuewei bowed her head lightly, and then sat down again.

The Queen Mother's brows furrowed suddenly, she glanced at the men present, and her tone was a little displeased: "You have been married for so long, and everything that should be done has naturally been done." It stands to reason that I am Zhu'er's real mother-in-law, this is the first time you came to see the ceremony, didn't you even bring Yuanpa with you? ”

Yuanpa?

Suddenly coming back to her senses, Chu Xuewei almost choked on her saliva.

Of course she knows what Yuanpa is.

In ancient times, on the wedding night, a piece of snow-white brocade would be found and placed on the bed sheet.

After the newlyweds have done what a husband and wife should do, the next day they will hand over the virgin blood to the elders for examination to prove the woman's chastity.

But what kind of occasion is this?

Not only the prince was present, but even Xiao Nianyun was also on the scene. With so many outsiders, the Queen Mother suddenly proposed to see Yuanpa, isn't this clear that she is slapping herself in the face?

What's more, except for some skin-to-skin kinship with the big devil, the two of them have never really had a relationship at all.

How could there be such a thing as Yuanpa?

The Queen Mother is a smart person, and when she saw Chu Xuewei's face strange now, she suddenly understood in her heart, and the treacherous meaning in her eyes was even stronger: "Is it difficult, you can't hand over this yuanpa?" ”

When Princess Anyang on the side heard this, she hurriedly and innocently added: "Oh, little sister-in-law, can't you really pay this yuanpa?" Do you know what it means to a woman not to get the yuanpa? ”

After a pause, she continued: "Or, Brother Hua Candle Yezhu didn't touch you at all; Either that, or ......"

Speaking of this, Princess Anyang's expression instantly became cold, and her tone became much colder: "It proves that you are not a virgin at all." ”

Chu Xuewei gritted her teeth, and a pair of pink fists unconsciously clenched tightly.

What now, are you going to lie?

Let's just say that Yuanpa didn't bring it?

But last night, he had already offended Gong Xiuzhu. If he lies, he will definitely expose it mercilessly.

But tell the Queen Mother directly, what if they didn't have sex at all?

At that time, it will only disgrace yourself!

And Xiao Nianhong, who was sitting opposite, saw Chu Xuewei's embarrassed look, and his heart couldn't help jumping up with a "poof", and even jumped faster and faster.

Why didn't Chu Xuewei speak?

Why is she embarrassed?

Don't...... Could it be that she has never had a husband and wife ceremony with the Seventh Prince?

Thinking of the day she was taken captive to Prince Xiao's Mansion, he personally sent her back to the Seven Princes' Mansion, and she left her relationship with the Seventh Prince's Mansion clean, could it be ...... Is she trying to find a way to escape from the Seventh Prince?

It must be like this!

The feelings that had been forcibly suppressed in his chest began to move again after seeing Chu Xuewei.

Xiao Nianhong glanced at Chu Xuewei with pity, then got up and clasped his fists and said, "Empress Dowager Qiqi, the Seventh Prince is in his youth, and in the face of such a private matter, it is really difficult to speak in front of everyone. Or the Queen Mother will wait until next time? ”

The Queen Mother was completely stunned at this time.

What kind of wind is blowing today, why are they standing on Chu Xuewei's side and excusing her?

As far as she knew, the third lady of Prime Minister Chu's family was ugly, had a weak personality, and was extremely infatuated with the prince, and even jumped in the middle of winter under the prodding of others

In the lotus pond, go to find the lotus.

Who doesn't know that the lotus flower is a summer flower?

How could such a Chu Xuewei make the prince and Xiao Nianhong go against their will and excuse her?

Chu Xuewei on the other side didn't expect Xiao Nianhong to speak for herself, and in surprise, she still smiled at him, which was grateful.

The corners of Xiao Nianhong's mouth lifted slightly, and the smile in his eyes was even worse.

And this scene was thoroughly watched by Gong Xiuzhu, who was sitting on the side.

In an instant, the momentum of Gong Xiuzhu's whole body was frozen to the extreme, and even the Queen Mother, who was sitting on the top of the main hall, was suddenly shocked by this cold and powerful momentum.

She frowned: "Hong'er, you are still the son of Prince Xiao's mansion." This matter is not only their family matter, but also related to the face of our royal family.

Can't you just pass it by? ”

It seems that the Queen Mother is determined to humiliate Chu Xuewei today, and she said coldly:

"If you really can't take out Yuanpa, then it proves that you Chu Xuewei is a woman who doesn't abide by women's morals. For those who do not abide by women's morals, the national law of Jiangguo will never be light

Spare it! ”

Catching up with the Queen Mother's fierce gaze, Chu Xuewei was also angry enough.

She gritted her teeth and stood up with a "pout", and was about to say that whether she and Gong Xiuzhu had sex with each other had nothing to do with the Queen Mother, but suddenly her eyes went dark.

Because Gong Xiuzhu actually stood up a second faster than her.

His position happened to be between himself and the Queen Mother, so that she couldn't see the Queen Mother's expression at this time.

Naturally, the Queen Mother didn't see the aggressiveness and displeasure on her face just now.

In the next second, Chu Xuewei's small hands were wrapped in a pair of big hands.

She looked up in some surprise and found that Gong Xiuzhu had a warm smile on his face, looking at her gently.

Those deep eyes were full of pampering, and the thin lips were slightly hooked, and that smile was enough to make the flowers lose their color.

The thousands of strange flowers and plants in the imperial garden are not as good as the smile of the man in front of him.

Rao had looked at him for so long, and Chu Xuewei couldn't help but be frightened at this moment.

Because on weekdays, this big devil always looks cold to himself.

To be honest, this was the first time Chu Xuewei had seen such a gentle Gong Xiuzhu.

"Stupid!"

Gong Xiuzhu stretched out his hand and gently scraped the tip of Chu Xuewei's nose: "On weekdays, I said that I would ask you to come out and see the world more." Look at it, it's time for you to still embarrass me! ”

It was clearly a scolding word, but as soon as it came out of Gong Xiuzhu's mouth, it brought a strong taste of spoiling.

Chu Xuewei looked at Gong Xiuzhu with a confused expression, as if she hadn't come back to her senses yet.

On the other side, the Queen Mother also frowned: "Zhu'er, what do you mean by this?" ”

Gong Xiuzhu let go of Chu Xuewei and turned to look at the Queen Mother: "It was a little late last night, and she didn't rest well, so she didn't react." ”

As he spoke, he also deliberately pretended to be shy and glanced at Chu Xuewei.

That look, it's obvious that it's showing affection!

When Xiao Nianhong and Princess Anyang saw this scene, their whole faces turned blue.

Xiao Nianhong looked at Chu Xuewei, and from the slightly loosened neckline, it seemed that some ambiguous blue-purple marks could be vaguely seen.

Xiao Nianhong's fists couldn't help but clench tightly, and his chest was like a big stone pressing him.

As soon as Princess Anyang saw Gong Xiuzhu's expression, her eyes straightened.

Her bamboo brother has always been extremely cold, when has he ever shown such an expression to other women?

Even this kind of love is only superficial, and it is enough to make all the women in this world crazy for him!

On the side, Chu Xuewei was also seen by Gong Xiuzhu's shy appearance, and goosebumps came out all over her body.

She was still in a daze, when she heard Gong Xiuzhu speak: "Her mind is very simple, she doesn't know what the rules are, maybe she forgot to bring Yuanpa to the queen mother today." ”

"Heh, now are you going to use a simple sentence to send the mourning family away?" The Queen Mother was obviously dissatisfied with what Gong Xiuzhu said, "This is a royal matter, how can you be brought over because of your words." What's more, this matter also involves Chu Xuewei's own innocent reputation! ”

Gong Xiuzhu appeared with a smile that seemed sincere and calm: "Erchen didn't want to perfunctory his mother, Erchen wanted to say that Yuanpa was here with Erchen." ”

Chu Xuewei: "......"

As soon as Gong Xiuzhu said this, not only Chu Xuewei was almost choked, but even the Queen Mother was directly dumbfounded.

She always thought that she knew Gong Xiuzhu's character better, and he was arrogant.

Not to mention an ordinary woman, with Chu Xuewei's identity, a seventh princess who was used by the emperor to humiliate him, he would never be able to help protect Chu Xuewei.

But now, it seems to be very different from what she had in mind.

"What did you say?" The Queen Mother was really a little unbelievable.

Over the years, many women have been sent to the Seven Kings' Mansion.

But without exception, the vast majority will be sent out.

The Queen Mother sent someone to examine the women and told her that she had discovered a very interesting thing.

Those girls turned out to be virgins.

Gong Xiuzhu is a young man after all, young and vigorous, how could he not have touched a woman?

There is only one answer to this question, and that is that his body is not good!

It is precisely because of this thinking that the Queen Mother must take Yuanpa to talk about things.

Gong Xiuzhu looked down, and the Queen Mother couldn't see what emotions were hidden in his eyes.

The Queen Mother looked at Gong Xiuzhu in astonishment, and slowly took out a snow-white square handkerchief from her arms.

She hurriedly ordered Gonggong Li, who was beside her, to step forward and fetch the snow-white square handkerchief.

When Gonggong Li sent the snow-white square handkerchief to the Queen Mother, for a while she forgot her demeanor and dignity as the Queen Mother, and snatched the square handkerchief and shook it away a few times.

In the middle of the snow-white square was a crimson stain of blood.

Judging by the degree of dryness, it must have been some time.

"How could it be ......" The Queen Mother's face changed.

Soon, however, she realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly took the conversation back.

The Queen Mother raised her eyes to look at Gong Xiuzhu with a little weakness, and found that the other party was now looking at her with a smile.

That smile was a little too weird, even if it was far away, it still made the Queen Mother feel a little creepy.

She cleared her throat in embarrassment, and returned Yuanpa to Gonggong Li, "Xuewei, you too, just say it if you bring it." ”

Chu Xuewei smiled a little embarrassedly.

However, when she looked back at Gong Xiuzhu, there was a faint doubt in her eyes.

This big devil, isn't it possible that he is solving the siege for himself?

Does he no longer care what happened last night?

"There are too many things happening today, and the mourning family is a little tired now, so you can go back first!"

A touch of tiredness appeared on the Queen Mother's face, and she reached out and rubbed her forehead.

As soon as she heard this, Chu Xuewei immediately relieved her heart.

I feel that this old lady is deliberately unable to get along with herself! In the future, it is better to come to the palace less.

Since the Queen Mother has issued an eviction order, the big guys have no choice but to retire one after another.

A group of people had just walked to the gate of the Queen Mother's dormitory, when they saw a young eunuch walking quickly in a hurry.

"The Seventh Prince, the Prince, Xiao Shizi, the emperor invites the three of them to go to the Imperial Garden to meet the distinguished guests together."

As soon as he heard this, Gong Xiuzhu's pace couldn't help but slow down a little.

The prince couldn't help frowning: "Who is it?" ”

The little eunuch lowered his head and said respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, that distinguished guest entered the palace with a hat, and the slave did not know where that distinguished guest was sacred. ”

Entering the palace with a hat?

Hearing this, the prince and Xiao Nianhong couldn't help but glance at each other.

If you can call the three of them together, I think that the distinguished guest must not be an ordinary person.

The prince waved his hand and motioned to the little eunuch: "This palace is going here." ”

After speaking, the prince strode in the direction of the imperial study with the little eunuch, and Xiao Nianhong followed closely behind.

However, at this time, only Gong Xiuzhu stood in place and did not move.

Chu Xuewei took a few steps forward and stood in front of Gong Xiuzhu: "Lord Wang, why don't you go yet?" ”

Gong Xiuzhu lowered his head and glanced at her lightly: "What's the matter, don't you talk to me angrily?" ”

"......" Chu Xuewei choked back by Gong Xiuzhu's words.

She snorted angrily and complained in a low voice: "What, it's clear that you and I are angry, okay?" ”

"Chu Xuewei, I didn't expect you to have such a skill." Gong Xiuzhu's expression was cold at this time, and he was like the two of them who had just shown affection in front of the Queen Mother.

Chu Xuewei looked up in confusion, her face full of doubts.

"One is the prince of Jiangguo, and the other is the prince of the prince's mansion, and they are both willing to go against you and the queen mother. How did I not know you still had this ability, huh? ”

Chu Xuewei's ears sounded Gong Xiuzhu's cold voice.

Looking at Gong Xiuzhu, who was leaning over towards her closer and closer, Chu Xuewei saw that his face was getting more and more ugly, and Chu Xuewei almost glared at him angrily.

What's going on in this guy's head?

In his heart, what is the image of her Chu Xuewei?

Thinking that he had been bullied just now, Gong Xiuzhu looked indifferent, and Chu Xuewei only felt that there was a fire in her chest that "swished" out.

She retorted angrily: "What's the matter, Lord Wang, if you don't want to help me, then watch from the sidelines and stand by." But there are always good people in this world who are willing to help me, so I won't bother the prince. ”

"Chu Xuewei-" Gong Xiuzhu was angry and pressed at Chu Xuewei word by word.

No matter how angry Chu Xuewei was, she didn't dare to be tough with Gong Xiuzhu anymore.

She turned her face to the side depressedly: "Lord, if you don't go to the emperor's side, it's going to be too late." ”
