Chapter Twenty-Four: The Humiliation That Ensues
"Where did the slave dare to give our princess a physical examination!" Cai Lan was also angry at this time, "How can our princess's innocent body be tested by you pickled mothers-in-law?" ”
"Pickled?" Cheng Po suddenly raised her voice, her eyes were not good, "Since you married with your princess, you are the maid of my Xuan Palace, and you don't understand the rules of respecting the old people in the mansion, it seems that you have to teach you well, lest you offend people who can't afford to offend in the future!" Come! ”
The palace maids who stood in a row immediately lined up several and pressed Cai Lan to kneel.
Yan Li's eyes sank, and she shouted: "You let her go!" ”
Those palace maids didn't let Cai Lan get up as if they hadn't heard Yanli's words, but just looked at Cheng Po, obviously only listening to her orders.
"Princess, don't blame, the slave is teaching you a lesson for this girl who doesn't know the rules, lest she bump into you in the future." Cheng Po smiled faintly and bowed to Yanli, "Palm." ”
A loud slap hit Cailan's face, Yanli finally couldn't suppress her anger, she stepped forward and slammed away the group of palace maids: "Stop!" ”
After all, the group of palace maids had a humble status, and they were all so frightened that they stopped moving, but Cheng Po looked at her with her head slightly raised: "Princess, do you think you can have a physical examination now?" ”
Yanli looked at Cheng Po deeply for a long time, as if she wanted to remember her unruly appearance, and then said softly: "I'll let you test it." ”
Cheng Po was stared at by her, and she felt that her peace was a little terrible, but she snorted coldly, thinking that I have seen so many hateful eyes of disgraced concubines, so many desperate wives and concubines in the house, will you still be afraid of such a little girl as you, even if you were a phoenix in the past, when you arrived in this palace, you must first recognize the situation and bow down!
With a flick of her long sleeves, Cheng Po said, "You all retreat first." ”
After all, this physical examination is an extremely private matter, and the maids naturally can't stay here, and the group of maids even dragged Cailan away, and only Cheng Po and Yanli were left in the room.
"Take off your dress and pants." Cheng Po closed the door and commanded coldly, as if she was the master.
Yanli didn't speak, only lowered her head and slowly began to untie the knot, and when she was about to fade down, she suddenly raised her head and sneered at Cheng Po, and then suddenly stepped forward in two steps and grabbed Cheng Po's throat in her hand, and the other hand tightly wrapped around Cheng Po's waist to stop her from struggling.
Sitting still has never been her character!
Cheng Po was startled by Yanli's extremely neat hand, and was about to shout: "Someone! ”
Who knew that Yanli increased the strength in her hand mercilessly, Cheng Po only felt that her throat was about to be crushed by her, Yanli's voice was cold, and she almost returned the original words to her: "This palace sees that you don't understand the rules at all, so it is better to teach you a lesson first, lest you collide with any nobles in the future." ”
Cheng Po only felt that it was difficult to breathe, her face turned red, she struggled desperately but still couldn't break free of Yanli's hand, God knew that this weak and slender woman had such great strength in her body! If she knew this, she wouldn't have let those palace maids retreat!
Yanli saw that she couldn't say a word for a long time, so she relieved her strength, she didn't want to kill someone as soon as she came, and make her more sad in the future.
Cheng Po coughed violently after getting some air, and her face no longer dared to be the slightest rebellious: "Your Royal Highness the Princess!" Slaves are also acting on orders! You have a lot of them, be merciful, be merciful! Don't mess with minions! ”
"Oh?" Yan Li raised her voice, "This palace saw that when you just ordered someone to beat Cailan, you didn't show any mercy, could it be that you were ordered to beat the maid?" ”
"Slaves don't dare! Slaves don't dare! Princess, spare your life! Cheng Po's face changed, and she knew that more explanations were useless, so she hurriedly begged for mercy.
"It's okay to spare your life." Yanli took out a black pill and fed it directly into Cheng Po's mouth, and then let go of her, "This is the poison of the Falling Yan Kingdom, and it cannot be solved without an antidote." After you go out, you will say that you have checked your body for the palace, and the palace will detoxify you when the matter is done. ”
Cheng Po suddenly turned pale with horror when she saw the pill belly, she had seen those weak women who tried their tricks to win the favor of men and use grace to deal with people, but she had never seen a woman come up and start fighting and feed poison directly!
Cheng Po was still skeptical that Yan Li fed her if it was really poison, but seeing that her expression was calm and calm, she was afraid, so she bowed down and smiled: "The slave knows, the slave knows, the princess can rest assured!" Oh no, Princess, Princess, don't worry! ”
After a while, Cheng Po and Yanli went out, although Cheng Po was still smiling, she always felt a little far-fetched; "The princess's body has been tested, you can wait with me to return to the prince!"
"Yes." The palace maids bowed respectfully, and then they came out with Cheng Po.
There were still blood stains on the corners of Cailan's mouth, and she looked at Yanli with heartache in her eyes: "Princess......"
Yanli suddenly put away her depressed expression, she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth for Cailan, and her voice was soft: "Good Lan'er, don't worry." I didn't give her a medical check-up. ”
"What?" Cailan looked at Yanli in shock.
She smiled slightly, and told Cailan what happened inside one by one, and Cailan giggled when she heard it: "Princess, you used jelly beans as poison, which scared the old woman!" ”
After some time, the noisy noise outside the room was gradually no longer heard, but Xia Nanxuan still did not appear.
"Princess, why don't you say that King Xuan hasn't come yet, and there is no news?" Zeran asked, puzzled.
Yan Li was silent for a moment, and laughed at himself: "He has hatred in his heart, and it is expected that he did not come." Let's rest here, and I don't think anyone will come tonight. ”
"Huh?" Cai Lan was taken aback, and her face suddenly became a little bitter, "King Xuan didn't come on the first night, princess, I'm afraid you will have a hard time in the future!" ”
Yan Li patted Cailan's head and smiled: "In the future, you should not call me a princess, but you should call me a princess." ”
At night, as Yan Li said, no one came, Yan Li took off her complicated dress and lay on the bed, lying down and feeling a little tired, she actually fell asleep in a daze on the first night she married to Qixia Kingdom.
Early the next morning.
Yanli was still asleep, and a grandmother came to ask her to wash up and go to the front hall to learn the etiquette of Qixia Kingdom.
The grandmother called Zhang Po, and when she saw that Yanli was wearing a simple Luoyan country skirt, her face was a little unkind, and she saw Yanli's dark circles under her eyes and her unfatted face turned a little colder: "Princess, although the prince didn't go to the cave room last night, you are also a dignified princess of a country after all, how can you be so ignorant of etiquette?" ”
Hearing her call herself princess, Yan Li knew that Cheng Po must have reported her innocence yesterday, so she could be regarded as having completed the last procedure, and she was now a serious princess Xuan.
Yan Li smiled lightly: "Why, King Xuan didn't come to the cave room with this concubine last night, but everyone knows about it?" ”
Zhang Po was a little dissatisfied when she saw her contemptuous attitude: "Princess, it is your duty to serve the prince as a concubine, and you should maintain a dignified posture and beautiful appearance at all times." Besides, you have married into the Qixia Kingdom, but now you are still wearing the costumes of the Luoyan Kingdom, isn't it a joke that you do not abide by the virtue of marrying and obeying your husband? ”
Yan Li saw that although her face was not good, she was not domineering, so she slowed down her tone and said seriously: "What Zhang Po said about the concubine has been recorded, but King Xuan doesn't like the concubine, I'm afraid it doesn't matter whether the concubine's posture is dignified or not, and whether her face is beautiful." ”
After last night's physical examination, Yan Li already had some resentment against Xia Nanxuan, he already loved Yan Xingluo, I'm afraid he couldn't tolerate himself! At this time, she was a little reluctant to tell Xia Nanxuan her identity directly.
As soon as Yanli's words fell, she heard a giggling sound from outside the palace gate: "Sister Princess's words are wrong." The prince spent a lot of effort to marry his sister, how could he not like his sister? ”
I saw a woman in a peacock green dress walk in, she looked quite bright, with a fallen horse bun on her head, a gilt flower and beads in the bun, a beaded chain hanging from the side, and two locks of hair hanging down on both sides of her cheeks. Between the actions, she looks coquettish and charming.
Yanli frowned, and some bad premonitions surged in her heart. Sister? Is it ...... that this woman called her like that?
The woman also looked carefully when she saw Yanli, although the woman in front of her was slender and straight, but she had not applied fat powder, and her appearance was really not beautiful. At that time, when I heard that Prince Xuan personally went to Luoyan Country to propose that he would marry the famous beauty of the fourth princess Yan Xingluo, he was still frightened, thinking that there would be no more chance, but then he never thought that it was another village, and he married a sixth princess who was not amazing. No wonder the prince doesn't want to pamper her!
The woman accepted it with a smile and bowed to Yan Li Yingying: "The concubine has seen the princess." ”
"You are?"
"The concubine is the concubine Jasmine that the prince just accepted this morning, and this time the prince asked the concubine to come over to pay tribute to the princess." The woman's voice was tactful and coquettish.
Really! Yanli's heart sank suddenly.
Seeing that Yan Li's face was calm but she didn't ask, this Jasmine opened her mouth a little anxiously: "The princess may not know that the princess forgot to come to her sister for a hangover from the guests last night, but ......"
Na Jasmine's face seemed to be a little shy, and she said softly: "But I spoiled the concubine, and this morning the prince woke up and directly accepted the concubine as a child." The concubine knew that last night was the princess's big day, so she refused in every possible way, but the prince ......"
Yan Li was no longer interested in hearing this, this Jasmine made it clear that Xia Nanxuan used it to humiliate her, but she was really sad. I almost couldn't control my urge to question Xia Nanxuan, didn't he love Yan Xingluo? Now, just to humiliate her, he spoiled others so casually?!
Is he still the Nanxuan brother in his memory?
Taking a deep breath, Yanli's hands in her sleeves clenched into fists. Now it seems that unless she tells Xia Nanxuan her true identity, he will never have any affection for her. But she is an extremely stubborn person, he has other loves but does not know himself, how can he use this identity to seek his charity?
