594 Tea Ceremony

"Fourth girl Duanmu, I also saw it."

In the silence, a girl in a pink gown hurriedly stood up and replied almost eagerly, "It is indeed Miss Xie Liu who deliberately bumped into Miss Zhang Wu." ”

Xie Xiangling, the four princesses, has not yet passed the door, and it is even more difficult to say whether they will be the future queens.

She heard that Cheng Engong had just been flogged fifty a few days ago!

In contrast, the elders in the family have repeatedly told them not to offend Duanmufei, and if they have the opportunity, they must be good friends with her.

Duanmu Fei patted his chest with satisfaction, deliberately made an old and relieved look, and said loudly: "Lang Lang Qiankun, sure enough, there are still people who tell the truth with me like this." Miss Liu, thank you for speaking up. ”

Seeing that this Miss Liu fell into Duanmufei's eyes because of such a sentence, the other girls couldn't hold back.

"I ...... I saw it too. ”

Several girls nodded in response one after another, and no matter how far away their position was from Xie Xiangling, they all said that they had seen it with their own eyes.

The echoes came and went, and Xie Xiangling's face seemed to be dyed with ink, becoming more and more ugly.

In less than half a cup of tea, the situation suddenly reversed.

"Miss Xie Liu, if you are not a sage, you can be without fault, and knowing your mistakes can improve a lot." Duanmu calmly returned the words that some people persuaded Zhang Lan to admit his mistakes, pointing at himself and the painting, "Now I want people to testify, there are witnesses, and there are physical evidence, Miss Xie Liu, you can give a cup of tea to Miss Zhang Wu to apologize." ”

"Duanmufei, you ...... Don't deceive people too much! There seemed to be a storm raging in Xie Xiangling's eyes, just like her mood at the moment, and her hands were tightly twisted together.

This Duanmu Fei is deliberately against himself!

I don't want to know what my identity is, what is Duanmufei's identity, the future queen and the eldest princess's daughter-in-law are one day and one earth, can they be compared? !

Hmph, these noble girls in Beijing are really eyeless, do you really think that Duanmu Guifei and the eldest prince can cross the queen and ascend to the throne!!

"Miss Xie Liu," Duanmu looked at Xie Xiangling with a smile and urged, "Why don't you go to the tea ceremony, don't delay everyone's time." ”

Xie Xiangling's chest rose and fell violently several times, and his eyes were cold.

She took two deep breaths, calmed down a lot, and confronted Duanmu Fei with a proud expression: "Fourth girl Duanmu, I also have a witness here, why is your witness credible, but my ID card is not credible?" ”

"Besides, why did I deliberately bump into the fifth girl?!" The bottom of her eyes was even colder, like a cold pool covered with a layer of ice, and the corners of her lips were curled at an angle that Duanmufei couldn't see, waiting for Duanmufei to take the bait.

Sure enoughβ€”

"Miss Xie Liu, why did Miss Zhang Wu deliberately hit you?" Duanmu asked with a smile as she followed her words.

Xie Xiangling was secretly proud in his heart, Duanmu Fei really took the bait.

Xie Xiangling stroked his sleeves slowly, and then said, "Fifth Miss Zhang, don't think that others don't know your careful thoughts!" If you are not convinced, you will succumb to me in the future, so you deliberately vent your revenge in public! ”

Xie Xiangling glanced at Zhang Lan contemptuously from the corner of his eyes, "Fifth girl Zhang, a concubine is a concubine, and she can't cross the main room in her life, according to the laws of Dasheng, it is the most taboo to take a concubine as a wife." "A concubine is destined to be respectful to her wife for the rest of her life.

Xie Xiangling's words were extremely ugly, which was tantamount to humiliating Zhang Lan in person.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze for a moment.

Seeing this, the girls around them all held their breath, and secretly shook their heads in their hearts: This girl from the Xie family is really domineering.

Some people looked at Zhang Lan sympathetically, and in the future, she was afraid that she would not have a good time.

It's too much of a deception! Qi Shi frowned, and was about to scold, but it was Zhang Lan who took the first step to speak: "Miss Xie Liu, please be careful!" ”

Even if she was humiliated like this, Zhang Lan still looked calm, even the curvature of the corners of her mouth had never changed, and her bearing was dignified and introverted.

Zhang Lan continued unhurriedly: "My father and mother have not yet set me a marriage, but the girl said nonsense that my father and mother will send me to be a concubine, what is the reason?" Miss Xie Liu, you should read more "Women's Training" if you have nothing to do, cultivate yourself and cultivate your character, so that you can have a clean heart, a harmonious heart, a positive heart, a fresh heart, a moist heart, and a good heart. ”

Everyone present was not stupid, and as soon as they heard it, they knew that Zhang Lan was clearly scolding Xie Xiangling for being unclean, discordant, unrighteous, not fresh, not moist, and ignorant.

Duanmu smiled crookedly, and the little cousin scolded without any dirty words.

It's so cute.

Duanmu's scarlet eyes were shining, and he quickly winked at Zhang Lan, exchanging a tacit look with her.

Duanmu Fei knew that the Zhang family was now in urgent need of an opportunity to make it clear, after all, the queen did not make a clear decree, if they went around saying that their daughter did not marry the fourth prince as a side concubine, it would be self-destruction of reputation, but this kind of thing cannot be dragged on forever, otherwise dragging it will become the "default" of the Zhang family.

Therefore, Duanmu Fei knew that Xie Xiangling was tricking her, so he simply deliberately followed her words and gave Zhang Lan this "opportunity".

An opportunity to openly refuse!

Xie Xiangling didn't pay attention to Duanmu Fei at all, and his eyes were nailed to Zhang Lan's body fiercely.

Outrageous!

How unreasonable!

Zhang Lan is just a concubine, and she dares to teach herself a lesson?!

Also, what did she mean by these words? Could it be that their Zhang family still dares to refuse to marry?!

Xie Xiangling was so angry that his body trembled slightly like a sieve, his eyes were bloodshot, and he grinded his back molars and said, "Zhang Lan, you...... Do you want to go against the will of the queen? You're disobeying! ”

"Resist?" Zhang Lan straightened her back, looked at Xie Xiangling with a calm expression, and asked word by word, "What do you dare to ask?" ”

The girls around them blinked slowly, thinking of something, and their expressions became subtle.

"......" Xie Xiangling's mouth opened and closed, speechless.

Yes, the queen is optimistic about the candidates for the four princesses and side concubines, but she has not made a decree so far.

The emperor was seriously ill and unconscious, and the queen could not make a marriage contract for the four princes at this time, otherwise it would inevitably be criticized.

Therefore, even for Xie Xiangling, the queen only sent Mama Jin to Cheng'en Mansion to convey the queen's meaning, and for the other two side concubines, there were only hints.

But even if it is implied, that is what the queen means!

"Miss Xie Liu, you kept saying that the queen mother wanted to let Miss Zhang Wu be a concubine," Duanmu said with a smile, "Is this a fake message?" ”

"......" Xie Xiangling's eyes widened, and his face was blue and white.

Duanmu Fei touched his chin, revealing a deep groan, "I remember that the law of Dasheng has clouds, and it is a capital crime to falsely pass on the decree." ”

"Miss Xie Liu," Zhang Lan's expression and tone were neither humble nor arrogant, and her demeanor was dignified, "The affairs of my Zhang family are not up to your Xie family." ”

Every word or sentence is not loud, but it is loud.

However, in just one cup of tea, the situation has changed several times with ups and downs.

The other girls present were stunned and shocked.

They all understood.

Zhang Lan just said that the Zhang family is in charge of the Xie family, but in fact, he is saying that the Zhang family does not recognize the inexplicable marriage between the fourth prince and Zhang Lan.

The girls looked at each other secretly, exchanging glances with different expressions.

Some people think that the Zhang family is really bold to confront the queen and the Chengen Mansion head-on; Some people are speculating whether this is what Zhang Lan means or what the Zhang family means; Some people even sighed in their hearts that this family is a family, and the bearing is very accessible.

Qi looked at Zhang Lan softly, she watched this niece grow up since she was a child, almost as half a daughter, the little girl who used to babble has really grown up and is sensible, enough to face the ups and downs outside!

The corners of Qi's lips raised, and he was completely relieved.

Today's timing is just right, and the Zhang family has clearly stated their attitude.

Hmph, how can the concubine of the Zhang family be given to whoever someone else says is to be given to whomever she wants, or is she a concubine!

Qi's eyes are bright, his eyebrows are stretched, elegant and calm.

Xie Xiangling could naturally feel the sharp gazes of the people around him, and he was even more annoyed in his heart: This Zhang Lan dared to say such a thing, and he didn't take their Xie family in his eyes at all!

Duanmu smiled and said: "Miss Xie Liu, since Miss Zhang Wu has no reason to 'vent revenge' on you, then the matter is already very clear, that is, girl, you deliberately bumped into Miss Zhang Wu and bit someone back." ”

"Miss Xie Liu, you better hurry up and admit your mistake by offering tea to Aunt Zhang."

"Duanmu Fei," Xie Xiangling clenched his fists and laughed angrily, "Don't inch in!" ”

Duanmu Fei smiled innocently, and proposed matter-of-factly: "If you don't want to admit your mistake, then why don't we invite Jing Zhaoyin to come here, so that we can talk about this false transmission of Yi's will, and do what you should do, everything is according to the law of Dasheng." ”

As soon as "......" heard the word "law", Xie Xiangling looked at him angrily as if he had been slapped in the face.

My uncle was flogged fifty just now for violating the law that "court officials are not allowed to engage in prostitution"!

The queen mother really didn't make a decree, and it was impossible to make a decree at this time, if Jing Zhaoyin had to follow the law, she probably wouldn't be able to please herself!

Xie Xiangling's eyes were darker, and the dark tide was floating.

At this time, a girl in a lilac-colored dress cleverly brought a cup of hot tea and put it on the bookcase in front of Xie Xiangling.

Duanmu was happy and smiled sweetly at her.

The girl hurriedly replied with a bright smile.

Xie Xiangling's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip ink.

Damn, Duanmu Fei has to force himself to apologize to Zhang Lan for tea? !

If he gave Zhang Lan tea today, and when they entered the Four Princes' Mansion in the future, or even entered the harem in the future, then I am afraid that they would never be able to raise their heads in front of Zhang Lan.

I see.

She finally understood that Duanmufei and Zhang Lan sang and said so much, just to force herself to bend her waist to Zhang Lan!

Their wishful thinking is too good!

Xie Xiangling's fists clenched even tighter, and his nails sank deep into his tender palms.

Today, I lost my words, so I was caught by these two little sluts, and I didn't give up.

It's a wrong step, a wrong step.

Xie Xiangling was annoyed in his heart, but he was helpless, so he could only say to himself in his heart that this matter was not over, and a temporary victory or defeat did not mean the final win or loss.

Hmph, Zhang Lan, a slut, will fall into her hands sooner or later, even if Zhang Lan doesn't recognize this family matter now, but this family business is not up to their Zhang family, the queen will try to put pressure on the Zhang family, and if she doesn't recognize it, she has to admit it.

Even if you bow your head for a while, the time is still long!

Xie Xiangling's fists clenched even tighter, and his nails sank deep into his tender palms.

There was silence in the Water Pavilion, everyone's eyes were focused on Xie Xiangling, and time seemed to stand still.

Suddenly, Xie Xiangling moved, and his body stiffened with both hands and picked up the cup of tea, and sent it to Zhang Lan.

"Yes...... Mine is not. ”

Xie Xiangling almost used all her strength to squeeze these five words out of between her teeth, the teacup trembled slightly in her hand, and her eyes were gloomy.

If eyes could kill, Zhang Lan would probably have died a thousand times, ten thousand times.

Zhang Lan calmly took the tea, and then put the teacup aside casually, from beginning to end, with a smile and an excellent demeanor.

Qi looked at Zhang Lan lovingly, and when his eyes turned to Xie Xiangling, his eyes turned cold, and he said lightly: "Sixth Miss Xie, since the matter has come to light, you can go." ”

What the?! Xie Xiangling was stunned and didn't react yet.

Qi didn't want to say much, and instructed the girl in the lilac-colored dress: "Send Miss Xie Liu out." ”

The girl stepped forward again, and stretched out her hand to Xie Xiangling with a smile to make an invitation, "Miss Xie Liu, please." ”

"......" Xie Xiangling's eyes widened.

Qi is going to expel him from the examination room?!

Although she deliberately smudged the painting, but it was just a few points of ink, she originally planned to wait for Zhang Lan to give her tea, she repaired the painting, killing two birds with one stone, one to give Zhang Lan a dismount, and the other to show Qi her superb painting skills, so as to make a splash and let Qi take her into the door.

However, everything did not go as she had expected.

Xie Xiangling was indignant in his heart, only feeling a fishy sweetness in his throat, and the green tendons on his neck appeared from time to time.

After a while, she said slowly: "Mr. Qi, I can make up this painting." ”

"No need." Qi looked at Xie Xiangling coldly, and his dignified face had the quiet bearing of the years, "In terms of painting skills alone, Miss Xie Liu is indeed outstanding, but when female students are accepted, the first thing to look at is their heart." Female students do not accept those with flaws in character and misconduct. ”

Qi shook his head and said bluntly: "The girl has a bad heart, I won't accept it." ”

After the words fell, there was a sudden silence in the water pavilion, and it seemed that even the air had stopped flowing.

The other girls present were all dumbfounded, no one expected that the gentle and demure Qi would speak so bluntly, leaving no room for anything, and not giving face to the Chengen Mansion at all.

Xie Xiangling's face was even paler, almost bloodless, and he trembled slightly with anger.

She looked at Qi and then at Zhang Lan.

Before coming to Huilanyuan for the exam, Xie Xiangling also asked people to inquire about the three female students, knowing that the Qi family had married Zhang Wenxuan, the eldest master of the Zhang family, and later broke down, Zhang Lan was the niece of the Qi family.

She originally thought that since the Qi family and Zhang Wenxuan were wrong, then there was probably only face love left between her and the Zhang family, but now she knew that she was wrong.

The relationship between the Qi family and Zhang Lan is probably much better than she thought, and today it was the Qi family who deliberately helped Zhang Lan, wanting to press herself before Zhang Lan passed the door!

Damn, really hateful!

It's because she's careless, and it's because she thinks too highly of Qi's and this girl!

Xie Xiangling's heart swelled with anger, and it took a while before he calmed down.

She raised her chin, still looking arrogant, and shook her sleeves and said, "Hmph! What Dasheng first female school, it's nothing more than that! ”

Xie Xiangling brushed his sleeves away, leaving only a proud and cold back.

Inside the Water Pavilion, return to calm.

Some people breathed a sigh of relief, some people were dumbfounded, some people were flustered, and some people regretted that they had just supported Xie Xiangling, and they just wanted to go back to a cup of tea to cover their mouths.

The reason why the three girls dared to support Xie Xiangling and testify against Zhang Lan was not only to please Xie Xiangling, but also to feel that there was no substantial evidence in this matter, as long as there were enough witnesses, Zhang Lan could only eat this loss, but he didn't expect Duanmufei to suddenly jump out to help Zhang Lan speak, and he didn't expect Xie Xiangling to admit his mistake in the end and toast tea.

Qi said that Xie Xiangling was misbehaving, so they helped Xie Xiangling "frame" Zhang Lan, and they also became a person of misconduct, since the female student even rejected Xie Xiangling, would they still hire them?!
