Chapter 53: Provocation

"Come in." Xiang Yeqi sat in his position and no longer walked around.

"Princess, the prince went out today for something, and he came back in the evening, so he specially asked his subordinates to come and talk to you." Nan Chen respectfully knelt on the ground and saluted to inform him of the news of the night.

Today he was not there, but he could not go out, and when he came back a few days ago, the reward given by the queen on the second day had also arrived.

Some high-grade medicinal materials, Bo Zhaoxu also stored them in the warehouse for Xiang Yeqi first.

He was afraid that one day, Xiang Yeqi would take advantage of his inattention and take away all the good medicinal materials.

The things given by the royal family, it seems that there is only one person who does not take it seriously.

"Got it, you stand down." Nodding to the night, can't you say that he is very happy to be gone?

This is very unreasonable.

Before Nan Chen could close the door, the guards guarding the door hurriedly ran over.

Nan Chen couldn't help but scolded: "What are you doing in such a hurry? In front of the princess, pay attention to some etiquette rules. ”

"Princess Niangniang, there are two distinguished guests visiting at the door." Although the guard stopped, the haste on his face was definitely true.

Could it be that this Bo Zhaoxu is so popular? Bring two of them with you.

"Which two are coming? If the minister comes, then say that the prince is not in the house, let them go. "Try to pretend to be a good princess as much as possible.

"No, one of those two is the county lord of the Chang Dynasty, and the other is the fifth princess."

Xiang Ye's expression paused, it was Wu Zixi who stopped at the beginning, of course he was in a good mood, but these five princesses have nothing to do with what kind of demons?

"Are they coming for me?" Xiang Yeqi paused and continued.

"Yes."

Xiang Yeqi couldn't help but glance at Nan Chen, Shangguan Rao was still holding tea.

"Let them go to the front hall, Nan Chen will go to greet first, don't let the fifth princess go too far, Shangguan Rao, you come over and change my clothes for me quickly."

Xiang Yeqi directly ordered to go down, Nan Chen was about to refute something, Shangguan Rao directly closed the door and blocked Nan Chen outside.

He wanted to protect the safety of Xiang Yeqi, so now it was better to run and serve the two of them.

The relationship between the county lord of the Chang Dynasty and the five princesses can be known from that banquet, if the county lord of the Chang Dynasty will scold the five princesses, how can he be stopped by a guard.

Today, the prince is not in the mansion, in case something happens, these four princes are afraid that they will be turned upside down.

But he can't stay here, the situation in the front yard is still unknown, so he can't just leave it alone?

Nan Chen was helpless, so he had to go to the front hall.

At this time, the atmosphere between Wu Zixi and the fifth princess can be regarded as very anxious.

Wu Zixi just found a way to get out of the palace today, the queen mother has always been worried about her, and originally didn't plan to let her out of the palace, but Wu Zixi pestered the queen and helped her deal with some harem housekeeping.

Although the queen was worried about her, she still gave her a token to leave the palace last night.

The fifth princess was imprisoned by the emperor in disguise, as for the nurturing grandmother, two days ago, the maid next to the concubine came to the fifth princess, and the nurturing grandma was kicked out of the fifth princess's mansion.

Last night, they inquired that Bo Zhaoxu was not here today, and as for the four princesses, they couldn't turn people away?

Anyway, you can drink a cup of tea and leave, but now Xiang Yeqi, a person who has just had a miscarriage, can't stand a big blow.

I heard that a few days ago, it was rumored inside and outside the palace that a slave maid beside the fourth prince and the fourth princess was good, and the fifth princess laughed even more after hearing it.

Xiang Yeqi is just an abandoned woman in the end, and now that she has no children, it is equivalent to losing the favor of the four princes, and without children to rely on, what means can she have.

It's just that after arriving at the Four Princes' Mansion, I saw Wu Zixi standing at the door, and the maid next to her was talking to the guards.

"Yo, it's really unfortunate, I just went out and met a stuffy gourd, what's the matter, I still want to stop this princess?" The fifth princess was arrogant, and her gaze swept over Wu Zixi and the guards guarding the gate of the mansion.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the prince is not in the mansion today, please go back."

"Why can't this princess come to find the fourth princess?"

This made the guards look at each other.

It's not a way to always stand at this door, the maid next to Wu Zixi is very talkative: "Today, the county lord of Changchao came to talk to the fourth princess, the fourth princess and my master are close friends, I don't know if it can be convenient?" ”

This made the guards not understand the situation.

It is obvious that the fifth princess came to make trouble, but the county lord of the Chang Dynasty came this time, and everyone was not very familiar with her, so they couldn't tell who was good or bad for the time being.

So one of the guards hurriedly ran to report to the courtyard of the night hall, and then asked Wu Zixi and the fifth princess to go to the front hall.

As soon as the two women sat down, Nan Chen happened to come over, saluted the two, and then stood aside.

This man...... It seems to be the personal guard who followed Bo Zhaoxu at the beginning! Didn't you say that Bo Zhaoxu went out? Then how could he be standing here.

"Nan Guard, I don't know what the fourth princess is doing now?"

The fifth princess asked quite provocatively.

Nan Chen glanced at her, it was the princess in the end, and she couldn't be lazy: "I'm changing clothes, and I ask the county lord of Changchao and the fifth princess to wait for a while." ”

Immediately, she was disdainful: "These four princesses are inevitably too big, let this princess wait for her here?" ”

"Please pay attention to your identity." Nan Chen is still a person from the Four Princes' Mansion, no matter how bad the four princesses are, they are always a head older than the fifth princess, can it be said that it is not enough to put up a shelf?

The fifth princess also ignored Nan Chen, but turned her gaze to Wu Zixi.

This will come to the night later, and in terms of Wu Zixi's character, it is not still a character who is dragging his feet.

is so timid, I really don't know what she deserves from the queen.

The maid next to the fifth princess can't look down on the night like this, she has been with the concubine for so long, except that the queen and the emperor can let the concubine wait, but now the fifth princess is waiting for the night, it is really a little big on the shelf.

"Can you give me a cup of tea, I'm a little thirsty." Wu Zixi said softly to Nan Chen.

After finishing speaking, Nan Chen naturally went to do it, the relationship between Wu Zixi and the four princesses, and occasionally heard the four princes mention it.

The fifth princess just watched Wu Zixi sit there and drink tea leisurely, and she didn't even have a pastry herself.

The fifth princess suddenly stood up and wanted to knock over the tea bowl in Wu Zixi's hand, but Nan Chen noticed that something was wrong, so he stopped the fifth princess.

"Princess, you still wait patiently, this is the Four Princes' Mansion, if the prince comes back, how can you explain?"

Although the fifth princess was very unfriendly to Xiang Yeqi, she was afraid of Bo Zhaoxu.

After changing his clothes, he had just arrived in the front hall when he heard a conversation between them.

It seems that Nan Chen is quite concerned about the overall situation, this person is worthy of being Bo Zhaoxu's personal guard, how can he be engaged in such a high level of affairs without a little brain.

Xiang Yeqi thought about it, the fifth princess came over today, I was afraid that if she didn't go out again, not only would Wu Zixi be wronged, but also the time she spent chatting with Wu Zixi alone in the future would be occupied by this fifth princess.

Today she is the fourth princess, after falling into the water last time, she suddenly felt that the identity of this princess, if she didn't use it, wouldn't it be a waste to write?

"Oh, Fifth Princess, I'm really embarrassed, this palace just changed its clothes and came over, why are you so angry today?" Xiang Yeqi smiled and entered the antechamber.

Wu Zixi just put down the tea bowl when he saw Xiang Yeqi coming, thinking that he hadn't seen her for several days, and he didn't forget the etiquette in his heart.

"See the Four Princesses."

Only the fifth princess and her maid did not salute.

"Sister Zixi, what are you doing so much, sit down." Xiang Yeqi smiled at her, as for the fifth princess, except for the previous sentence, she wouldn't even give a look.

"What do you mean, to Nightshade? When you see this princess, do you want this princess to salute you? When the fifth princess saw Xiang Yeqi coming in, the anger in her heart was even more unabated.

She has been staying in the princess's mansion for the past few days, and she can't even get out.

Isn't this all due to the Nightshade?

But as soon as these words came out, the maid beside her grabbed the clothes of the fifth princess.

"Princess!" Although the maid's voice was a little lowered, the few people present could hear it clearly.

"Look, this slave is still sensible, what's your name?"

Xiang Yeqi looked at the maid beside the fifth princess, of course, he could see it at a glance, isn't this the maid of the noble concubine? Today, in order to give himself a dismount, he even found someone like this.

"Slave Yilan, I served the concubine before, and I have been staying by the fifth princess for the past few days to take care of it, the fourth princess, you should be familiar with the slave and maid." Elam behaved like a well-behaved person.

Xiang Yeqi gave Wu Zixi a reassuring look, and she sat on the main seat by herself.

"It's the concubine's, this palace has seen you well, but it has no effect on you, Nan Chen, you said, if this is someone who does not pay homage to this palace, what should it do?" Xiang Yeqi not only sat casually, but also paid more attention to etiquette than Yilan between words.

It doesn't matter who you are, even if the eunuchs around the emperor see you, you have to bow and bend down, can it be said that this Elan's frame actually has more face than the people around the emperor?

Nan Chen looked at the two of them, and understood in his heart: "Naturally, it is the cane to blame." ”

"Oh." Xiang Yeqi's face was a little more playful, and Elan was a smart one, and everyone here could see it.

Therefore, Xiang Yeqi means that he is going to deal with Elam's unruliness.

"How dare you? If the concubine is here, how can you be so presumptuous! The fifth princess saw that Yilan beside her was angry with Yeqi, and of course she couldn't help but speak.

Yilan panicked, why are these five princesses so brainless? She had forgotten all the words and techniques she had taught her yesterday.

Xiang Yeqi held his cheeks with his hands, and leaned forward slightly: "Oh, so, why don't you give her a salute in this palace?" ”

Of course it can't be, the five princesses have never recognized Xiang Yeqi, but Xiang Yeqi is this identity, and the emperor can be regarded as a matter of approval, so the five princesses can't argue.
