For a moment, Song Yuanxi was a little dazed, giving birth to the illusion that he was saluting him.

The title of "His Royal Highness the Prince", he has really not seen it for a long time.

However, when he came back to his senses, he understood that "His Royal Highness the Prince" was not addressing him, but referring to the arrogant and domineering man standing in front of him at the moment.

His eyebrows turned cold in an instant.

This made Song Yuansheng slightly surprised, you must know that his third emperor brother has always been known for his gentleness and elegance, and he has always been humble and polite, and he has never had such an aggressive expression on his face.

Today's Song Yuanxi actually made him feel a little strange.

And he didn't bow to himself!

Song Yuansheng was immediately displeased and said: "Third Emperor Brother, why don't you salute when you see this palace, but there is still the prince of this palace in your eyes?" Do you know that this palace can cure you of a great sin of disrespect at any time! ”

For some reason, knowing that the current situation was very unfavorable to them, Xia Taozhi felt a little funny. It is really rare to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Western Tu Kingdom and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Eastern Chu Kingdom confronting each other head-to-head under such a coincidence.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Ling are both princes, they are one heaven and one earth, one is the incomparably noble Prince of Chu, and the other is the unfavored, isolated and helpless prince, the difference between cloud and mud.

Only Xia Taozhi secretly sweated for this prince of Dongchu in her heart.

Boy, you're in trouble!

Song Yuanxi lowered his head to hide the sharp edge that had passed by in his eyes, and when he looked up again, he already had a gentle and modest appearance, with a shallow smile in his eyes, and saluted Song Yuansheng, and said respectfully: "See His Royal Highness the Prince......"

Xia Taozhi also saluted.

Song Yuansheng wanted to embarrass Song Yuanxi in public, but he didn't respond for a long time, so the two of them had to maintain a saluting posture and stand stiffly.

There was silence in the spring garden at this moment, and the palace maids and eunuchs were silent, and they didn't dare to come out, for fear of being affected.

Xia Taozhi used to think that the most annoying thing in the world was the tsundere prince, but now she actually thinks that this yin and yang weird Song Yuansheng is thousands of times more hateful.

Sure enough, Master is right, the palace is the most terrifying place in the world, and the powerful have the most terrible hearts in the world.

In the end, it was Princess Shuyi who broke the silence, and when she saw that the savior was coming, she immediately cried and ran over to complain: "Brother Prince, Mei'er was injured, beg Brother Prince to call the shots for Mei'er!"

Song Yuansheng's face was angry, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and he was about to speak, but a majestic female voice came into the imperial garden: "Who is so bold that he dares to hurt my Mei'er?"

As soon as Peony looked at people, her heart suddenly cooled half. If there is anyone else who can make the situation of His Highness and Niangniang more dangerous and worse now, she is the only one.

This lord of the six palaces, the biological mother of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Shuyi, is the Empress Xue of Dachu.

Empress Xue's majestic ride came, and half of the imperial garden was instantly filled. The queen mother is wearing a mopping palace dress with a big red and gold pendulum, and the phoenix crown on her head is very dazzling, surrounded by pearls and emeralds, graceful and luxurious.

Her eyes were full of authority, her eyes were fierce, and she asked, "Who injured the princess?" ”

The voice was cold, with an inoffensive majesty.

Now the three of them are here, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. Xia Taozhi secretly screamed "Oops" in her heart, she didn't look at the yellow calendar when she went out today, and she was unlucky!

Song Yuanxi didn't have the slightest fear, and when he looked closely, there was a light smile on his lips.

Yes, who was he afraid of?

In this way, Xia Taozhi's heart also relaxed inexplicably.

Now Princess Shuyi's big backer came, she immediately threw herself into Queen Xue's arms and cried so much that she pointed at Xia Taozhi and cried: "Queen Mother, it was this Princess Ling who injured her sons and injured Mama Zhao!" Mother, you have to be the master of your sons! ”

Empress Xue raised her eyes and glanced at Xia Taozhi: "Why did Princess Ling hurt people?" ”

Xia Taozhi was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied loudly: "Back to the queen's mother, it is Princess Shuyi who insults the concubine first, and she wants to teach the concubine a lesson, and the concubine is just a defense." ”

"Queen Mother, she, she lied ......!" Song Yumei immediately distorted the facts: "Obviously, she doesn't understand etiquette, she makes offensive remarks, and she doesn't take this princess in her eyes." Mama Zhao can testify! ”

Mama Zhao immediately responded: "Back to the queen, the old slave can prove that it was Princess Ling who was rude and offended Her Royal Highness." We've seen it, the minions! Then he turned to the palace maid and eunuch who knelt on the ground: "Hey! Tell the queen soon, won't you? ”，

A group of palace maids and eunuchs trembled, and even claimed that they were.

Li Huai knelt in the crowd, although he was also trembling with fright, he glanced at Mama Zhao with disdain when he heard the words, stalked his neck, and said, "No!" I just want to blurt it out. An old eunuch covered his mouth from behind and knocked his head hard, so he had to be silent.

Empress Xue said coldly: "Princess Ling, what else do you have to say?" ”

Xia Taozhi didn't expect so many of them to talk nonsense with their eyes open, and she was also annoyed, and she didn't want to blurt out: "It's ridiculous that you guys are so upside down!" If you want to say that the concubine doesn't understand the etiquette, then may I ask this princess Shuyi who hugged my husband tightly in front of everyone and didn't let go, where is the etiquette? Could it be that the princess is so old that she doesn't know how to avoid suspicion? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed their faces, and said in their hearts, this princess Ling is really a ruthless character!

Song Yumei was humiliated in public, ashamed and angry, and wanted to beat someone again, but was stopped by Mama Zhao. Mama Zhao kept whispering: "The queen mother is here, she will be the master of the princess, and the princess should not be impatient...... Don't be impatient......"

If it weren't for the fact that the situation didn't allow it, Song Yuanxi would really laugh out loud, this little peach really dared to say it, this time it really slapped Queen Xue in the face.

Sure enough, Queen Xue's face was very ugly, and she trembled with anger: "Presumptuous!" Princess Ling, do you know that such nonsense and slandering the princess deserve to be punished? ”

"Whether I slandered the princess or not, the princess knows it in her own heart."

"King Ling! Is that how you discipline your princess? ”

Song Yuanxi watched the play for a long time, and when he saw that the roll call came to his head at this time, he pretended to reprimand: "Princess, don't talk nonsense." ”

Empress Xue was furious.

Of course, she knew that her baby daughter had been pestering Song Yuanxi since she was a child, and she had repeatedly taught her badly. In the past, Song Yuanxi was still young, and he didn't marry yet, but now Song Yuanxi is married, and he is still so nonsense! She turned her head and glared at Song Yumei, who didn't dare to make a sound, and secretly planned to quickly choose a good colt and marry her off. She embarrassed herself.

Empress Xue's expression was cold, and she made up her mind to teach this princess Ling, who didn't know the height of the sky, a lesson today, and said coldly: "You first married into the royal family as a bride, so you don't understand the rules, and you repeatedly offend you!" Xia really taught a good daughter! This palace is the lord of the six palaces, and today I want to discipline her daughter-in-law for the deceased concubine sister, come on! Give me the slap in the face. ”

Palm mouth?

Song Yuanxi's face changed, and there was a faint anger on his face, this is too deceitful......

"Mama Zhao, call me!" Empress Xue said sharply.

"Yes!" Mama Zhao has endured it for a long time, and she was just kicked to the ground by Xia Taozhi, gasping in pain, and she has been secretly holding back. At this moment, he received the order of the queen mother, as if he had obtained Shang Fang's sword, rolled up his sleeves, shook the flesh on his cheeks and walked towards Xia Taozhi.

Xia Taozhi looked at her coldly, and said that if you are not afraid of death, you will come and try it.

Mama Zhao walked up to her and said in a gloomy voice: "Princess Ling, the old slave has offended!" Raise your hands high, and you will be defeated.

Before Xia Taozhi could move, a figure flashed in front of her, intercepted Mama Zhao's wrist, and clasped her vein. Mama Zhao screamed in pain, raising her eyes to see who was so ignorant of life and death, but she was so frightened that she swallowed the cry back into her throat.

I saw that the man in front of him looked at her coldly, and there was a chilling glint in his eyes, which made people shudder. I heard him speak softly, and his voice was as cold as the north wind: "The princess of this king, is it also a cheap slave that you can touch casually!"

Mama Zhao was so frightened that her face turned blue, her legs were weak, and she sat directly on the ground.

Everyone was amazed!

Xia Taozhi looked at the man who was blocking her in front of her, with a tall and broad back, his back was straight, and he obviously didn't have half of his skills, but he stepped forward to protect her behind him.

Her heart was fluttering, and for the first time in her life, she tasted the feeling of being protected.

Song Yuansheng reacted, and the splitter stepped forward to rescue Mama Zhao, but Song Yuanxi let go of his hand in time and retreated.

Empress Xue was shocked and shouted repeatedly: "It's the opposite, it's really the opposite!" The palace only punished slightly, I didn't expect the king of Ling to be so protective! It's simply disrespectful and lawless! ”

She was furious, glanced down at the gravel-paved path under her feet, and said sharply: "This palace will punish you two to kneel here for two hours now, and meditate on yourself!" ”

Generally speaking, after the prince is crowned king, only the emperor has the right to punish him directly, and Empress Xue's move is really arrogant. But she was already angry at this time, and she didn't care about it at all.

Song Yumei was anxious when she heard this, if she let her brother Xi kneel on this gravel ground for two hours, her legs would be crippled and useless! It was this damn mourning star that affected her brother Xi, she was very angry, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, please spare Brother Xi, it's not Brother Xi's fault...... If you want to be punished, you will punish the princess of Ling, ......"

Empress Xue glanced over, and she shut up.

The queen was furious, and the palace maids were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out. At this time, only Li Huai trembled his legs, took a step forward boldly, and said: "Queen Qiyu, the emperor is waiting for His Royal Highness King Ling in the imperial study at this moment, I am afraid that it will not be delayed......"

Xia Taozhi secretly praised the wit of this little chamberlain in her heart, and when she moved out of the emperor at this time, Empress Xue should be a little jealous.

Unexpectedly, Queen Xue snorted coldly and said, "Since you went back to the emperor, you said that King Ling and his wife were disrespectful to the palace and injured the princess, how should you deal with it?" ”

Li Huaiwan didn't expect Empress Xue to be so tough, so he had to respond.

After a while, he came back with a white face.

"Returning to the Queen...... The emperor said......" He bowed down, gritted his teeth and said, "The emperor said that it was all up to the queen's mother." ”

Xia Taozhi was taken aback, it turned out to be like this?

Peony still wanted to plead, but Song Yuanxi had already pulled Xia Taozhi to kneel straight. Xia Taozhi didn't care, wasn't it just a punishment for kneeling, and when she was in Qingfeng Guan, she was also punished by the master for kneeling.

Empress Xue's complexion softened slightly, she glanced at the kneeling two contemptuously, casually pointed to a little eunuch to leave to supervise, and then took Song Yumei and Song Yuansheng away.

The imperial garden was empty in an instant, leaving only King Ling and his wife kneeling silently.

Fortunately, the spring sun was not sunny, and the two knelt straight for an hour, except that their knees gradually turned from tingling to numbness, there was no other discomfort.

At this time, he saw a figure bowing down, walking up to the two of them in a few steps, and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Ling...... Princess Mausoleum ......"

Song Yuanxi looked up, isn't this the little father-in-law named Li Huai? It turned out that Queen Xue pointed casually and pointed to this little father-in-law to stay for supervision.

Li Huaidao: "Your Highness and Niangniang have suffered......"

Peony said angrily: "You are a young cat crying mouse fake mercy, and you just wronged our mother together!" ”

Li Huai had a bitter face: "This sister misunderstood the minion, and the minion just wanted to tell the truth......

Peony didn't believe him at all.

Li Huai had no choice but to say: "That Mama Zhao didn't leave, she has been monitoring in the dark, and the slave saw that she was far away, so she dared to come over and report it." The slave is afraid that she will go and return, so go to the front to guard first, Your Highness and the mother please take care of yourself, and the slave can't see anything......"

With that, he walked straight ahead.

Peony was stunned, is the heart really wrong to blame the good people?

Song Yuanxi whispered a few words to Peony, and Peony nodded happily and chased after the little eunuch.

Xia Taozhi knew that he was deliberately taking away the peony, and said, "You knelt down just now." ”

Song Yuanxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Otherwise? Can you beat them all alone? ”

With that, he sat down on his knees and rubbed his legs. Xia Taozhi also learned from him to sit down on his knees and rubbed his legs, which was already so numb that he was unconscious.

"I had long expected that the situation of this Eastern Chu Ling King would be very difficult, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult!" Song Yuanxi sneered and mocked: "No wonder you Dongchu can't beat our Xitu, the entire Eastern Chu is such a person as Song Yuanxi who can fight, these idiots don't know how to be like a grandfather, and they still despise him so much!" No wonder he didn't return Lao Tzu's body, but if he changed to Lao Tzu, he would run away if he had the chance. ”

Xia Taozhi also sighed, and began to sympathize with His Royal Highness the King of Tombs, who was obviously the prince of a country with a noble status, and was in such a situation.

"But ......" Song Yuanxi's voice changed, and he said with a cruel smile: "They are dead......

“……”

Xia Taozhi silently sweated for Queen Xue's family in her heart.

Thinking of the moment when Song Yuanxi stepped forward just now, her face turned a little red inexplicably, and she said, "Just now...... Thank you ......."

Song Yuanxi grinned and asked knowingly, "Thank me for what?" ”

When Xia Taozhi saw his hippie smiling face, she immediately had an urge to smoke him, and hurriedly changed the topic: "I thought the emperor would take care of it, but I didn't expect it to ......"

Song Yuanxi chuckled lightly and said, "He won't care, he has never taken care of this son." ”
