Chapter 16: Rescue
"What is this for? The party is about to begin, what does it look like to get together?"
A commotion was heard from a distance, Xiao Jingxuan frowned unhappily, glanced at Xiao Ye embarrassedly, and quickly walked into the garden and said in a deep voice.
"The courtiers greet the crown prince and the king of Given. The crowd hurriedly blessed themselves and bowed down.
Feng Qianli tilted her head slightly, her eyes fell on Xiao Ye, who was walking slowly, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in her heart: "Why is he here?"
Xiao Ye has been paying attention to Feng Qianli's expression since she entered the garden, and seeing her bright starry eyes flickering slightly, she didn't know what she was thinking about, so she couldn't help but hook her lips.
"Your Highness, you are here. Lin Wan'er immediately put on a gentle look and walked over slowly.
"What's going on?" Xiao Jingxuan took Lin Wan'er's hand lovingly, but his eyes deliberately swept towards Feng Qianli, revealing a touch of surprise in the depths of his eyes.
It's just that this look was covered up too quickly, so that Lin Wan'er didn't notice it at all, she sighed lightly, looked like she was aggrieved, and said softly: "It's nothing, it's just that I just had some misunderstanding with Miss Feng." ”
"Oh, is it?" Xiao Jingxuan raised his eyes, looked at Feng Qianli steadily, and deliberately asked, "What happened?"
Su Miaoqiu naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to stumble on Feng Qianli, and immediately stood up and said: "Prince, the courtier and Feng Qianli met at the gate of the palace before, and she kept saying that Niangniang was not canonized, and now it is too early to be honored and titled, and she refuses to recognize the identity of the crown princess. Just now, she had an argument with Niangniang because she wore a white dress to the banquet, and embarrassed Niangniang in front of everyone.
Xiao Jingxuan frowned, his handsome face was already a little angry, and he asked in a cold voice, "Is there really such a thing?"
Without waiting for Feng Qianli to speak, Su Miaoqiu immediately said: "Your Highness, so many sisters are watching! ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw several official women glance at Feng Qianli apologetically, and then they chimed in: "The courtiers can testify." ”
In an instant, Feng Qianli became the target of everyone, and the eyes cast on her were different, but there was no gentle kindness.
"Your Highness, Miss Feng is the daughter of the right minister after all, and she must have always been pampered in the family, so let's not worry too much. Lin Wan'er was delicately attached to Xiao Jingxuan's side, so she said generously. Mingli seems to be excusing Feng Qianli, but in fact, he alludes to Feng Qianli's arrogance and ignorance of etiquette, which is equivalent to pushing her into the fire pit.
Xiao Jingxuan sneered, his face sank, and after a long time, he said loudly: "What about the daughter of the right minister? If you dare to openly embarrass the crown princess, even if you are against me, even if the right minister comes in person, you can't say this." ”
"That's it!" Su Miaoqiu smirked, and said in a weird manner: "Your Highness must speak out for Niangniang." ”
Xiao Jingxuan sneered, "My temple here is small, I'm afraid I can't afford to supply Miss Feng's big Buddha, come here, please Miss Feng out of the palace." ”
As soon as the words fell, the guards who had been waiting for a long time came over, and said to Feng Qianli, "Miss Feng, please!"
Seeing this situation, everyone else was taken aback, and their eyes turned into pity when they looked at Feng Qianli, if they were really invited out of the palace by the prince's people, they were afraid that Feng Qianli's reputation would really be bad, and they would never send her posts at banquets in Beijing in the future.
"Wait. Feng Qianli raised her eyes and looked around at the guards, and smiled coldly in her heart, the East Palace held a banquet, and the guards would be arranged to guard it. said that it was for the prince's personal safety, but in fact, it had been arranged to wait for her a long time ago, right?
"What else do you have to say?" Su Miaoqiu couldn't wait to see Feng Qianli being kicked out of the palace, and hurriedly asked.
Feng Qianli glanced at her coldly, but her eyes were looking at Xiao Jingxuan, and she said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I understand that you want to protect Miss Lin's heart. It's just that they didn't give me a chance to explain, so they kicked me out of the palace, which is really unreasonable, right?"
Looking at Feng Qianli's dark eyes, Xiao Jingxuan suddenly paused, he actually felt that these eyes were familiar, so he didn't know how to refuse for a while.
Seeing Xiao Jingxuan staring at Feng Qianli's face, Lin Wan'er frowned slightly, and immediately stepped forward and gently grabbed Xiao Jingxuan's sleeve, and said softly, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Jingxuan was a little embarrassed, and immediately shifted his gaze, and was about to give an order to the guards, when Xiao Ye, who had been watching the play by the side, suddenly spoke.
"Brother Huang, since Miss Feng has been wronged, why don't you let her finish it?" Xiao Ye hugged his arms and looked at Feng Qianli gently, seemingly interested in what she had to say.
"Eighth Emperor Brother, it's rare to see you take the initiative to speak. Xiao Jingxuan squinted slightly, and his eyes stared at him for a moment and said. He didn't know when Xiao Ye had such a good personal relationship with the Feng family's concubine......
Xiao Ye hooked the corners of his lips slightly and smiled: "After all, it is the pearl of the right minister's palm, if she is wronged, I am afraid that the right minister will fight with you." ”
Xiao Jingxuan snorted lightly, and refused to deny Xiao Ye's words. But after all, the right minister is an old minister in the court, if he goes to the Jinluan Palace to ask for an explanation...... He pondered for a moment, weighed the weight, and then waved his hand at the guards.
Seeing this, Su Miaoqiu was a little anxious, glanced at Lin Wan'er, and immediately said out loud: "Your Highness, Lord Wang, Feng Qianli is disrespectful to the crown princess, everyone is watching it with their own eyes, why bother giving her another chance to excuse herself!"
"Who are you? I am talking to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what is the rule for you to run out and interject like this?" Xiao Ye's eyes were cold, he glanced at her lightly, and said coldly.
Su Miaoqiu was stunned for a moment, looking at Xiao Ye's solemn face, her body trembled slightly with fright, it was rumored that King Anding could break the enemy's neck with one hand on the battlefield, but a killing god covered in evil aura was definitely not someone she could provoke.
She hurriedly defended herself: "The minister is Su Miaoqiu, the eldest daughter of Shangshu Mansion, just because Feng Qianli offended the crown princess Niangniang is what everyone can see, and the courtier feels that she should not be excused, so she has the courage to speak." I didn't want to make the prince unhappy, and I asked the prince to calm his anger. ”
Xiao Ye snorted coldly, as if he hadn't heard Su Miaoqiu's words, he looked directly at Feng Qianli, and said in a deep voice, "Don't you have something to say?"
Feng Qianli was stunned, she didn't expect Xiao Ye to come to the rescue, thought for a moment, looked up at Su Miaoqiu, and asked: "Miss Su, it's not that I don't recognize the identity of the crown princess, it's just that the crown prince has just ascended the throne not long ago, and there are still many words in the court." Now Miss Lin has not yet carried out the canonization ceremony, so she invited all the official women in the East Palace, you know, you will say that Miss Lin is thinking about us, and you don't know......" Feng Qianli suddenly smiled, glanced at Lin Wan'er's weak expression, raised her eyebrows and said: "I thought that the prince was taking the opportunity to entrap the officials of the court and the central government and cultivate his own power." ”
