The atmosphere at the birthday banquet was silent and terrifying, His Majesty had a gloomy face, Empress Chen was sitting upright, her face was serious, and the ministers sitting below each hung their heads, together with their families, they were also worried, they didn't expect such a bad thing to happen tonight on Queen Chen's birthday banquet, this is not touching Queen Chen's bad head!

At this time, I saw the eldest princess Zhou Yuanhua, who was wearing a long green dress, took the initiative to stand up, walked to the red-clothed palace maid, and said softly: "Raise your head and let everyone see what you look like." ”

What does Celestia mean by this, and what is she going to do? The eldest princess and the crown prince are siblings of the same mother, and it is understandable to help the prince speak at this moment.

The red-clothed palace maid trembled and slowly raised her head, the tears in the corners of her eyes were pitiful.

The eldest princess leaned forward slightly with her hands behind her back: "What do you think of the prince's appearance?" ”

Everyone was confused, and asked why this was done at this time?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Yushu is in the wind and has an extraordinary bearing." The woman in red replied with a sob.

Then I heard the eldest princess ask, "Then what do you think of the princess's appearance?" ”

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the eldest princess and the red-clothed palace maid, and a smile crossed Queen Chen's eyes, she still didn't believe it, the eldest princess could resolve the situation for the prince with a few words.

The red-clothed palace maid hesitated slightly: "The slave maid is on an errand in the Huanyi Bureau, and I was fortunate to see the princess Niangniang, and the slave maid feels that the princess is peerless and looks like a fairy." ”

The eldest princess pursed a smile at the corner of her mouth, and turned to the emperor and queen: "Father, emperor, mother, I think you must have heard the words of this red-clothed palace maid clearly, and you can also see her appearance clearly." Just based on her ordinary and not outstanding appearance, how could the prince do bad things to her, and ask her father and queen mother to strictly investigate the people behind the scenes, and dare to openly frame the prince at the queen mother's birthday banquet, her heart can be punished! ”

Concubine Yang Defei shook the jade fan in her hand and bowed her head: "The concubine body thinks that the eldest princess is reasonable, the prince's eyes are above the top, and only a woman with outstanding looks like the crown princess can be worthy of him." He quietly exchanged glances with the second prince, King Yu, and motioned him to sit and not act rashly, and wait and see what happened.

As soon as the words fell, before the emperor could speak, Concubine Wang Li spoke up: "The concubine looks at this red-clothed palace maid but everything is true, contempt for the prince, it is a big crime to destroy the nine clans, I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty and the queen." ”

The eldest princess's eyes flashed slightly, but she had forgotten that Concubine Wang Li, who was now favored by her father, was also a palace maid, and she was also a personal palace maid by her mother's side. Because of her background, she naturally had to speak to the palace maids in red, and they were afraid that they would not pay attention to the truth.

Sometimes, what you see is not necessarily the truth, and what you believe is not necessarily the truth.

Suddenly, Zhou Yuanle, the third princess born to Queen Chen, stood up and walked to the eldest princess Zhou Yuanhua. It was too late for Empress Chen to stop her, so she could only watch the two sisters greet each other and salute, her hands curled up tightly under her sleeves, hoping that the third princess would not make any amazing moves and ruin her good deeds.

The third princess sincerely said to His Majesty: "Father, the son has a few words I want to ask the imperial sister and this red-clothed palace maid, and ask my father for permission." ”

His Majesty naturally agreed in front of everyone.

As soon as she got the emperor's approval, the third princess looked at the eldest princess with a smile: "Imperial sister, you keep saying that this red-clothed palace maid is not worthy of the prince's brother, it is she who is contemptuous of the prince's brother, dare to ask you what is the real evidence?" ”

"Nope!" Celestia replied with a straight face.

Third Princess: "......"

Taking a deep breath, she listened to the third princess continue to ask: "Then why is the imperial sister so sure that this red-clothed palace maid is contemptuous of the prince's brother, is it just her appearance that she can't withstand the crown princess?" Isn't that too superficial? Besides, the prince's brother is weak, but there is no imperial doctor who says that he can't have sex. ”

At this time, Empress Chen couldn't sit still when she heard this, and scolded: "Yuanle, shut up, how can you criticize your prince brother, why don't you come to the queen mother's side soon, and wait for your prince brother to come and apologize to him in person." "The prince's matter is not yet the turn of a sister who has not come out of the cabinet to criticize, it seems that she is too arrogant to indulge the third princess on weekdays, and if she continues, I am afraid that it will affect the marriage of the third princess, and she can't be allowed to talk nonsense.

The words that came out were like water spilled out, and it was not so easy to leave, and the eldest princess said calmly: "The meaning of the third emperor sister is to believe the words of the palace maid in red, thinking that the prince is going to do something wrong to her. ”

Queen Chen kept giving the third princess a look, telling her to shut up, and then turned her head to look at Mama, and Mama walked over to the third princess knowingly.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"Yes!" The third princess replied categorically.

His Majesty pinched the wine glass in his hand and frowned, how to end such a thing at Empress Chen's birthday banquet?

The red-clothed palace maid solemnly kowtowed to the third princess not far away and thanked her: "Third princess, you are a good girl with a kind heart, and the slave will remember your kindness and pray for you." Since the eldest princess is unwilling to believe the slave maid, the slave and maid will die to prove that what the slave and maid say is true. ”

Between the lightning and flint, the red-clothed palace maid had already run towards the guard behind her, snatched the sword from his waist, stabbed her in the chest fiercely, and then spat blood and fell to the ground.

This scene was too fast for people to stop, and a fresh life was lost in front of everyone's eyes.

Seeing this, the third princess knelt on the ground with a thud and pleaded: "Father, queen mother, son-in-law beg you to be the master of the palace maid in red and give her justice." The eyelashes of the long silk butterfly wings drooped slightly, casting a shadow under the eyes, and the expression was obscure.

The eldest princess shouted in her heart, why can't the prince come over, it is obvious that the third princess and Wang Lifei are facing the palace maid in red, which is something she did not expect. In addition, the red-clothed palace maid accused the prince of being inferior to her with the death of Mingzhi, which is indeed a headache. Now that the palace maid in red is dead, there is no proof of death. At this moment, even if the prince comes, sparing him may not be able to win back a game, and he probably knows the ending in his heart, but the eldest princess is still calm and light, and she has not been affected by the death of the palace maid in red.

The hands curled up under the sleeves slowly loosened, and Queen Chen's eyes were clear, maybe it might not be a good thing for the third princess to do this. Everyone didn't stand up to believe the palace maid in red, and she chose to stand up, which is enough to show that she is a brave and upright princess. The reason why the eldest princess stood up is nothing more than for the crown prince, the younger brother of her mother's compatriots, not to mention through the remarks of the eldest princess, it is not difficult to see that she is a superficial person who looks at her appearance, what qualifications can she get a good son-in-law, and the ladies present can really see it.

Empress Chen took the initiative to stand up: "It's all up to Your Majesty to decide." ”

Immediately afterwards, Concubine Yang De, Concubine Wu Xian, Concubine Xu Hui, Concubine Wang Li, and other princes, princes, and ministers stood up one after another and asked His Majesty to decide.

Queen Chen's birthday banquet, the crown prince did not bring the crown princess to attend, and His Majesty was already protecting the prince. Now that the crown prince is slighting the red-clothed palace maid on the occasion of Queen Chen's birthday banquet, forcing her to die to show her ambition, even if the prince comes at this moment, His Majesty can no longer protect him.

So His Majesty said lightly: "You all sit down, I have my own decision on this matter." Come, the will, the prince ......"
