Chapter 40: The Plan Falls Through
Everyone originally saw that the half-kneeling woman in the center of the flower hall was extremely pitiful, and she almost put her life into it, but now she couldn't even meet such a small request, and she had no choice but to ask herself to leave the house, what kind of fear did she have for that Xie Yan!
In addition, Yun Qi had just opened his mouth, and the people who were already overflowing with sympathy couldn't help but echo one after another: "It's just a piece of Buddha carving, and it's nothing to shock Miss Wang Er." ”
"Yes, today's incident was originally caused by Miss Wang Er's innocent suffering!"
"I forced people to play the piano just now, but now I am worried about a piece of Buddha carving, which shows that I don't have any good intentions!"
Everyone's words became more and more unpleasant, and Xie Yan just sat on the ground in a daze, looking confused.
Hua Xiyan sneered in his heart. Xie Yan has been in a high position since she was a child, and she is used to being scolded, so she naturally does not guess what others think. She naturally didn't know that from the moment she asked her to play the piano just now, she had already left an aggressive and unforgiving image in everyone. And her refusal just now will also make everyone think that she is a helpless move under persecution. In people's hearts, she has become the weak party, and with the help of her words just now, people who are righteous will naturally speak out to help.
It was by chance that she learned about the role of the Buddha carving in Chenjun Xie's family, so now she asked for it. Since you want to speak, you naturally want the most valuable thing!
And once Xie Yan relented, the people of the Wen family would naturally not give up, and although the requirements put forward would not be as harsh as her, they would not make the Xie family feel better. There is already a battle between the families, and now that there is such a good opportunity, it is natural to take advantage of it.
Xie Yan, who Hua Xiyan thought, naturally thought of it, if this Buddha sculpture was not handed over, it would be conceivable what kind of eyes people would look at her Xie family. According to the Wang family's maintenance of Huaxi Yan, she will definitely not be let go easily!
Thinking like this, Xie Yan really felt that she had reached a situation where it was difficult to ride a tiger!
The cold faces of the people of the Wang family above, the indignation of everyone, Hua Xiyan's soft smile, and Yun Qi's light breeze flashed in Xie Yan's eyes one by one, for the first time in his life, he was in such an embarrassing and embarrassing situation.
Yun Qi suddenly glanced at Xie Yan, that look was no different from before, but Xie Yan was under that look, and he reached into his arms like a ghost.
A moment later, a small Buddha sculpture of imperial green appeared in everyone's field of vision. The pure green color contrasted against Xie Yan's white palm. The green of the Buddha sculpture was so green that it almost dripped out, and it seemed that in the next second, it would melt into a pool of spring water, which slowly flowed out of the palm.
Although the distance is far away, people can't see the demeanor of the Buddha statue clearly, but just looking at the color, they know that this is definitely the top imperial green, no wonder this second lady Wang made such a request.
Xie Yan stood firm, slowly walked in front of Hua Xiyan, and stretched out her hand.
Hua Xiyan also stood up straight, looked up at Xie Yan, and saw that her face was pale, and through the delicate makeup on her face, she exuded a state of decadence that could not be concealed. Her arrogant look was no longer a point, and her whole person revealed an extremely obvious frustration.
Her hands were shaking, shaking violently. She bit her lip tightly, and a trace of blood was slowly overflowing.
She naturally knew that she had fallen into the trap today, but because the dulcimer was a gift from the emperor, she couldn't say anything, she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only admit it like this.
Xie Yan Diqin, do you know if it is a blessing? Hua Xiyan suddenly popped up such a sentence in his mind.
Hua Xiyan slowly stretched out his hand and walked towards the Buddha sculpture in Xie Yan's palm.
"Wait!" There was a sudden sound of clear drinking behind him, and at the same time, a stone broke through the air, bounced Hua Xiyan's hand away in an instant!
Another stone hit Xie Yan's shoulder, and under the force, Xie Yan reflexively clenched the Buddha sculpture in his hand, staggered back a few steps, and instantly opened the distance from Huaxi Yan.
Hua Xiyan turned his head, and when he saw the visitor, his eyes were stunned.
The first is a graceful and luxurious woman, with a stunning face and gorgeous city. Eight sunrise five phoenix hanging beaded hairpins are inserted in the concentric buns raised high, and they are wearing a long skirt with a thin hookah of peonies and hookahs.
"Princess Roujia Ann!" All the people stood up and saluted, looking respectful.
"Excuse me!" Princess Roujia opened her mouth in a lazy voice, like a colorful auspicious cloud, floating in front of Huaxi Yan.
Hua Xiyan stood up, bowed his head slightly, and did not look at this extremely noble delicate flower.
There was a man next to Princess Roujia, Hua Xiyan had never seen it, but seeing that the man was dressed and bearing, and he didn't look like a squire guard, he couldn't help but turn his mind and think about the identity of the man.
"This Buddha sculpture is a good thing, why did Miss Xie take it out so easily?" The man looked at the things in Xie Yan's hand and asked.
Sure enough, it was for this Buddha carving!
"Master Li......" Xie Yan clenched the things in her hand, and opened her mouth, as if she didn't know how to explain.
Hua Xiyan's eyes widened slightly, this man turned out to be Li Xuzhen, the eldest son of the Li family in Longxi!
"Let you put it away, you put it away." Princess Roujia said in a lazy voice.
Xie Yan's eyes lit up, she instantly understood something, and she happily put things back into her arms with satisfaction.
Hua Xiyan's face quickly returned to normal after a moment of shock. She already understood that these two people were here for this matter, and it seemed that today, she couldn't get this Buddha carving.
Princess Roujia glanced at Hua Xiyan, a contemptuous smile on her lips, and then walked to the high position where everyone was seated.
"Dingguo Gong." Princess Roujia slowly stood still, and said, "I'm really sorry that today's incident has brought such unnecessary trouble to the Wang family." I came today for Miss Xie's dulcimer. ”
Wang Yao's face was always calm, his sharp eyebrows were slowly raised, and his voice was not angry and arrogant: "Does the princess know what's wrong with this dulcimer?" ”
Princess Roujia smiled lightly, her face was the decent and generous that a decent princess of a country should have, her slender arms were slightly raised, and Li Shouzhen beckoned a man with five flowers tied up and a cotton cloth in his mouth to go to the court.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
"Princess...... This ......" Wang Yao looked at the kneeling man and asked suspiciously.
"This person is one of the Xiling missions who came to celebrate his father's birthday. And he also happens to be the one in charge of transporting the dulcimer. A few days ago, this person was accidentally found to be sneaky and uneasy in the Holy Heaven, so someone arrested him, and learned about the dulcimer under all kinds of inquiries. I wanted to go to Chenjun Xie to deal with it, but I didn't expect that the dulcimer was brought to Taiyuan by Miss Xie, so my cousin brought someone to come in a hurry, lest it cause trouble. ”
Princess Roujia's words were clear and reasonable. But Hua Xiyan sneered in his heart, everything that neighbors enter the palace must be screened layer by layer, and they must be careful not to make any mistakes. Now the dulcimer with a hidden weapon has been delivered to the Holy Heaven safely, either Xiling did it intentionally, or this Princess Roujia is lying.
Then, combined with the time when this princess appeared, Hua Xiyan was sure that the latter was a little more likely. After all, through the last incident, Princess Roujia saw that she was very unhappy, so she let Xie Yan go, if she killed herself, everyone would be happy, but the matter was revealed, and the princess came to the rescue with a long-prepared rhetoric, which shows that her mind is ruthless, but it is very detailed.
Hua Xiyan thought that everyone could naturally figure it out, but because it was Princess Roujia who spoke, the most noble flower in the Holy Heaven. Even if people have any doubts, they can't question them.
"In that case, it was really a misunderstanding." After a while, Wang Yao slowly spoke, and said this sentence in a heavy tone.
Everyone in the Wang family turned their heads to look at everyone, with doubts, doubts, and surprises on their faces, but more than that, it was unbelievable.
Everyone knows that as soon as Wang Yao's words came out, he recognized Princess Roujia's words.
"This matter is just a misunderstanding, and I hope that Miss Wang Er, Haihan." Li Shuzhen suddenly turned his head and looked at Hua Xiyan with a smile.
"What Master Li said is extremely true." Hua Xiyan replied with a smile, as if he was not half dissatisfied with the solution to this matter, and there was a sincere look in his eyes.
Xie Yan stood in place, having regained her initial calm, and the blood on her face gradually recovered, but her hands were still full of wet sweat. She suddenly realized that the close-fitting shirt had been completely attached to her back under the effect of cold sweat, causing a burst of discomfort.
Princess Roujia turned around and walked in front of Hua Xiyan, slowly stood still, staring at Hua Xiyan with a pair of beautiful eyes, and the smile on her face became more and more unfathomable.
Hua Xiyan saw a very arrogant look on her face, and there was a kind of arrogance and arrogance that looked down on everything. Hua Xiyan knows that this is a luxurious temperament that can only be cultivated after years of being in a high position. Princess Roujia's expression was filled with contempt, as if she was talking about the second lady of the Wang family, in front of her golden branches and jade leaves, she didn't have to be obedient and soft, and let others handle it.
What kind of character Princess Roujia is, everyone here naturally knows. There are so many dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, but no one is the only one who asks the emperor for Princess Shang Roujia. Naturally, because of her ruthless temperament, especially aristocratic men, who are not three wives and four concubines, no one wants to accept a beauty in the end, and in the end, only a white bone is left by this princess.
Fearing that Princess Roujia would be embarrassed by Hua Xiyan, Mrs. Wang stood up and hurriedly spoke: "Princess, please take a seat!" ”
Someone has already opened a special throne for Princess Roujia in the position of the head, but she didn't look at it, and waved her hand casually: "No need, there are still important things in this palace, don't stay more!" ”
The people present breathed a long sigh of relief when they heard this, especially some famous ladies, who patted their chests in fear, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts.
Princess Roujia slowly moved her gaze from Hua Xiyan's face to the man in plain clothes and brocade on the side, the silence and contempt on her face dissipated in an instant, and in a blink of an eye, she was replaced by a gentle and soft smile, as if she was directly from the cold days of the ninth day to the spring of March.
