Chapter Twenty-Four: We Bet
Princess Qing's eyes were hurt, her expression was full of pity, and in an instant, she looked wronged, and immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Regardless of the facts, the officials immediately began to discuss. What they were discussing was tantamount to the Chu girl in the palace, who was arrogant and domineering, and was able to ride on the princess's head, which was simply lawless.
Seeing this scene, Princess Qing raised her chin arrogantly, and her soft smile contained a trace of poison, the people in this palace can't do anything to you, but outside this palace, it is not necessarily.
"But princess, this is the place that the prince personally chose for you, if you give up this position, how sad it will be for the prince!"
"It doesn't matter, Miss Chu fell in love with me, almost everything he likes is the same as mine, I will let me let it a little, after all, I am standing on this high place, if I want to get back what I deserve, I will definitely be said by people with a heart that I am taking it by force, and deliberately putting up a shelf is not just a position? Let's just do it. ”
Princess Qing's dark beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of mist, and her eyes were full of cunning.
With Chu Lan's personality before, I am afraid that she will fight with herself head-on, as long as Chu Lan is stubborn, she can take down this woman in one fell swoop.
It's really a tiger that doesn't exert its might, and is treated as a sick cat, and suddenly Chu Lan stood up, but the words of the old lady flashed in his mind, no matter where you stay, remember your location.
Suddenly, the cold eyes flowed, and the gentleness was fully revealed. She saluted very respectfully, and said very innocently: "Princess, you have misunderstood. ”
Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, everyone immediately boiled, and it was not a big deal to see the excitement.
"What a misunderstanding, just sit down, and still behave here."
"Hongjuan, shut up! Miss Chu didn't mean it, so she didn't have to hold on tightly. ”
One of the two of them sang with a red face and the other with a white face, showing Chu Lan's tricky character in an instant.
"I did mean to." All the people below sighed, and before others could hug the unevenness, Chu Lan stretched out his hands, and the grapes were full of color in front of everyone.
"What do you mean?" Hongjuan immediately said the words in Princess Qing's heart.
"I knew that the position belonged to the princess, and I sat down there, but I saw something unclean on this fruit, and I was afraid that the princess would be frightened and deliberately picked it." Chu Lan said unhurriedly, the arrogant head was raised high, and the invisible oppression was overwhelming.
"You are talking nonsense, we are responsible for all the food here, there can be absolutely no unclean things, you don't have sex anywhere." Seeing that the expressions of the people around her had changed, Hongjuan immediately put down the set.
"Believe it or not." Hongjuan was just about to pick up the grapes in her hand, but Chu Lan immediately pulled her hand back.
"It's natural to show you, but in front of the public, it's a little boring to look at it dryly, otherwise let's make a bet, how about it's not clean, and what if it's not?"
Framed and framed three times twice, Chu Lan couldn't bear it anymore, and since she had this opportunity today, she had to tell everyone that she was not easy to mess with.
Holding a banquet, how careful the palace personnel were, for fear of making a mistake, Hongjuan was sure of this, so she said bluntly: "Bet on it, bet on it, if there is nothing unclean in this grape, let the emperor arrest you and put you in prison, and let you pay back everything you owe to my princess!" ”
Chu Lan sneered, this woman is really powerful, she is dying, and she didn't forget to pour a basin of dirty water on herself, she really didn't swear to give up if she didn't achieve her goal.
"If there is something unclean in the grapes, how about asking the emperor to beat you with twenty boards?" Although she looked at Hongjuan, her eyes were fixed on Princess Qing.
As soon as these words came out, Princess Qing shuddered in her heart. This bet is too strange, it is obvious that there are nails on the board, but what she said is clear-eyed, there must be fraud in it, she can't let Hongjuan fall into the scheme.
"Bet, yes!" Before she could act, a yellow coat suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Meet the Emperor."
"Everyone is flat, don't be so restrained." Li Shaoyuan's thin lips were lightly raised, and his eyes immediately saw Chu Lan and Hongjuan. "I haven't made a bet for a long time, since there is a banquet today, let's take this as an entertainment item in the banquet, let's take a look, who is this flower? On the one who wins the bet, I will reward her with ten thousand taels of gold. ”
"Good, good." Seeing that the emperor had already spoken, the people who wanted to see the excitement instantly became excited, and they all shouted to participate in this matter.
Suddenly, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Princess Qing's face, and it was obvious that there was fraud in front of her, but the emperor's participation made her unable to withdraw in an instant, if she refused now, she would definitely fall into the responsibility of disobeying the emperor.
Hongjuan looked at the current state and quietly pulled Princess Laqing's hand, as if to signal her to feel at ease.
All the items in this banquet are selected, and no one should joke with their own net worth, and she won this bet.
"In that case, let's bet over there."
Sure enough, Chu Lan was a little happy for her cleverness and wit, but she didn't think about it, if the emperor was not here today, would the woman gamble with her pride?
In an instant, she raised her arm, and all the people around her surrounded her, as if she wanted to see it all, but the things in her hand never let go.
"Hurry up, everyone is waiting, don't make a fool of yourself here."
Chu Lan chuckled, and in an instant, the grape fell on Hongjuan's hand.
Hongjuan carefully played with the grapes in her hand, turned one side, and instantly found a black thing constantly wriggling on it, as if she saw some devil, she immediately let go of her hand, threw the grape on the ground, and the whole person shouted loudly: "Worm, there is worm on that grape." ”
Suddenly, the people below were so shocked that their eyes were about to fall to the ground.
Princess Qing saw it, and hurriedly took a step back, her fear was overflowing, at this moment she only felt that there was a mouthful of old blood in her heart, which was about to erupt, she never expected that it would be such a result.
Hongjuan looked at this scene, and her face turned even pale, "No, no, how is it possible?" Her eyes were fixed on the grapes on the ground, and she couldn't believe it.
"Why, don't you believe it?" Chu Lan immediately stepped forward and picked up the grapes on the ground, and placed the insects on them naked in front of everyone.
"This is a little centipede that has not been born for a long time, don't look at it scary, she is a good medicine, it is because I know that he looks terrible, so I deliberately picked this grape, for fear of scaring the princess, but I didn't expect to be wronged like you, sure enough, this good person is still not good."
Chu Lan said with pity, tears suddenly swirled in his eyes.
"Princess, I know that I have brought you a lot of trouble when I enter the palace, but this kind of thing is not once or twice, can't you trust me a little? Just because I saved the face of the prince, isn't it good to have a little trust in me? ”
Who wouldn't play the emotional card? Chu Lan's eyes were lowered, but a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, all the people who didn't know understood that the feelings of this Chu girl were not treated well in this palace, and she was bullied everywhere, and suddenly they all had a different look at Princess Qing.
When Hongjuan heard this, she instantly broke out in a cold sweat and shook her head in disbelief. "How is that possible, how can this be?"
"What? You still don't believe it? Then I'll show you separately. Chu Lan said and immediately stepped up and took the things in his hand, Hongjuan was so frightened that she hurriedly took a few steps back, even if she didn't want to believe it anymore, you still admitted it.
"It seems that this time it was Princess Qing who lost." The result finally came out, Li Shaoyuan's eyes were low, his thin lips were curled, and the cold words came out of his mouth in an instant, this sentence was tantamount to reminding everyone that Princess Qing had lost and should fulfill the bet.
"Yes, I lost, I fulfilled my vows." She gritted her teeth, and every word seemed to pop out of her mouth, watching her beloved maid being pulled down by everyone, she couldn't wait to break the woman in front of her.
"I never thought that even the palace would have such a frizzy maidservant, how did you educate the people under you, Princess Qing!" Although the excitement is after watching it, Li Shaoyuan has to take care of this rule.
Princess Qing trembled in fright, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, the Qianqian jade fingers were on the cold floor, and the whole looked very pale.
"The emperor is not good for me, it was my recent negligence that led to such a situation, and I ask the emperor to atone for his sins."
"Such a big thing, will you be done with a word of negligence?" If the centipede is eaten by a living person, don't you know what the consequences will be? In my opinion, not only your slave should be punished, but even you should be punished by the 20th Congress. ”
At this moment, the princess was almost crying without tears, she stared fiercely at Chu Lan, who was watching coldly from the side, and had no choice but to lower her head and admit her mistake.
"In that case, you're also going to play the 20th board."
"Slow down," before Li Shaoyuan's words fell, Chu Lan picked it up, "Didn't you say in the evening that the winning side would not be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold?" Now I don't want that ten thousand taels of gold. ”
Everyone was dumbfounded, and they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd of the woman in front of them.
Suddenly, Chu Lan knelt down and said, "But I hope that the emperor can grant me a request and release Princess Qing and all the maidservants who have participated in these things." ”
"Huh?" Li Shaoyuan raised his eyebrows.
Chu Lan then said cheekily: "When everyone makes mistakes, we can't knock everyone over with one shot, the people's daughter knows that the emperor is a person with clear rewards and punishments, so the people's daughter would rather exchange this gold ten thousand taels for the punishment of some people, I wonder if the emperor can agree?" ”
