The days passed in a flash, and soon the date of the spring banquet arrived, today, Wang Yanxian got up early to make up, and went out with Yu Chengmian after breakfast to make an appointment for the spring banquet.

As soon as they arrived at King Huaiyi's courtyard, someone came to the door early with invitations, and Wang Xianxian and Yu Chengmian did not come early.

Showing the invitation, the little guy in the other courtyard immediately led the way for Wang Yanxian and the others, from the door to the banquet, the pavilion of the corridor, the scenery is not exquisite.

Wang Xianxian and Yu Chengmian sat down early, the queen pinched the time to appear, sat on the main seat, Princess Huaiyi handed the waiter a look, the waiter retreated for less than a quarter of an hour, and the open space in the center of the banquet was singing and dancing, which was very good-looking.

"The concubine looked at the layout of this Huaiyi Palace, which was very delicate and elegant, and wanted to go out for a walk." Wang Xianxian whispered to Yu Chengmian.

"Love the concubine and go shopping, don't go far, you will find each other alone if you have something." Yu Chengmian knew that Wang Xianxian was a little tired of watching singing and dancing, so he agreed to Wang Xianxian's request.

"Yes." After Wang Yanxian finished her politeness, she led Xuan'er to quietly retreat.

Walking out of the garden where the spring banquet was held, Wang Xianxian took a deep breath and felt that the air here was exceptionally fresh, and led Xuan'er all the way to the living water pool in the other courtyard. Wang Xianxian only felt that this courtyard was unique, and the lotus flowers that bloomed in spring were rare, and she immediately had the idea of picking a lotus.

"Wow! Master! The lotus flowers here are actually born in spring! ”

Taking advantage of Xuan'er's amazement, Wang Yanxian pouted Xuan'er and said: "There are flowers that can be broken and must be broken, Xuan'er, let's pick a few lotus flowers and go back to make wine!" ”

"Yes, master." Xuan'er answered the call and was about to pick the lotus, but her little arms were short, and she couldn't reach it for a long time, so she drooped her head and said in a sullen voice: "Master, the slave can't reach it." ”

"No problem." Wang Yanxian took off the coat of the heavy princess dress and handed it over to Xuan'er Haosheng, without the long skirt, Wang Yanxian jumped above the pool as light as a swallow, and with a light step on the lotus leaf, she picked a handful of delicate lotus flowers, and then jumped back to the shore.

When Wang Xianxian was about to put on her coat, someone from behind the rockery came pacing: "The crown princess is really good kung fu." ”

The surprised Wang Yanxian looked at Yao Zhan who was walking slowly, hurriedly put on her coat for a while, and sneered at each other: "The concubine didn't know that the dignified Huaiyi prince was actually a good voyeur. ”

Yao Zhan was not annoyed, he looked at Wang Xianxian for a long time, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's not a voyeur." The king was reading in his own courtyard, and he never thought that the princess would come back here and pick a large number of lotus flowers in the king's courtyard without asking. ”

Wang Yanxian was a little weak-hearted, and forced herself to calm down: "Since it is the prince's favorite, then the concubine will return it to you." ”

"Thanks to the crown princess's liking, this king is very honored, and the crown princess keeps these lotus flowers to make wine." Yao Zhan was generous again at this time, Wang Yanxian raised her eyebrows, she didn't understand Yao Zhan, so she simply took a handful of lotus flowers and returned to the banquet.

"Where did you get this lotus?" Yu Chengmian intuitively felt that Wang Xianxian was solid again.

"Picked."

"...... you" Yu Chengmian wanted to ask Wang Yanxian where she picked the lotus, but she was attracted by the sound of the queen on the throne, and the rest of the people also looked at the queen.

"How can it be?" The queen stood up and urged the chamberlain: "Take the palace to see it!" ”

"Yes!" The chamberlain hurriedly led the way.

The queen walked away, and she looked angry, and the spring banquet couldn't go on, so everyone followed without waiting for the queen to summon or appease her, and when they came to the hot spring pool, everyone saw that in addition to the blooming lotus, there was also the corpse of a woman.

The corners of the queen's eyes were twitching, and she asked, "Who murdered Dantang?" ”

"Back to the queen's mother, when the slave found the princess, the princess was already dead." A small man replied with a shudder.

"It's fine, why don't you ...... it after a while?"

"yes, that's just a little bit of work......"

The crowd of onlookers couldn't stop whispering.

"The queen mother is angry," Princess Huaiyi said, "Could it be that the princess fell into the pool by stumbling and falling into the pool, this is ......?"

"Stumbling?" The queen held back a sigh of anger and said, "Princess Huaiyi, I'm afraid that the water level in your pool is not enough for children's necks, right?" ”

Princess Huaiyi knelt on the ground: "Queen Mother, please stop your anger." ”

The queen glanced around at everyone, and her voice was majestic: "Except for Dantang, who else is not at the banquet?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and a few eyes looked at Wang Yanxian, Wang Yanxian "chuckled" in her heart, and then she realized that the murderer was coming at her, Wang Yanxian walked out of the crowd dignifiedly, and said after saluting calmly: "The concubine is not in the banquet." ”

The queen narrowed her eyes: "So, is the crown princess admitting that she is suspected of killing Dantang?" ”

"Queen Mother," Yu Chengmian also reacted, the murderer's target was Wang Xian, and hurriedly pleaded, "Queen Mother, please be aware that it is impossible for Xianxian to do such a ruthless thing." ”

The queen sighed faintly: "But she is the only one who is not at the banquet......"

"Queen Mother, there are many doubts in this case......" Yu Chengmian's words were suddenly interrupted by the queen: "Prince, no one can prove what the princess did when she was not at the banquet, and besides, the princess picked a handful of lotus flowers~." ”

Wang Xianxian knew that she couldn't argue, and while she was thinking about it, Xuan'er suddenly said loudly: "The queen's mother, the queen's mother!" The slave maid has been following the princess, and the princess has picked lotus flowers, but the princess and the slave maid have not met Princess Dantang along the way. ”

"This slave is not defending her master."

"Those who serve around you are naturally faithful."

"That's right......"

The crowd was full of discussion again.

The queen also felt that her brain was swollen, after all, Wang Yanxian had grown up watching her since she was a child, so her voice softened slightly: "Crown princess, do you have other witnesses?" ”

"This ......" Wang Yanxian hesitated, Yao Zhan walked out of the crowd, and said loudly: "This king can testify!" ”

"See Lord Huaiyi." As soon as everyone saw the comer, they immediately fell to their knees.

"No courtesy."

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

Yao Zhan saluted the queen and said, "Queen Mother, this king can testify." ”

"How does the prince testify?" The queen is also relieved, if Wang Xianxian is convicted now, Yu Chengmian may not know how to make trouble, fortunately, Yao Zhan testified.

"The crown princess came here to pick lotus because the king witnessed it himself, and then the princess returned to the banquet, and the king also walked away, who expected to leave for such a moment, Princess Dantang ......"

Yao Zhan's maintenance of Wang Yanxian fell in the eyes of Princess Huaiyi, which made Princess Huaiyi's eyes feel a little astringent, Lord Wang......
