"Uh...... Your Majesty, the ministers still have to play! This civilian official also has a bit of backbone, although he was scolded back by Ling Qian, he still can't stop his heart to serve the country.
Seeing that Emperor Xiqin's face sank, the singing and dancing in the hall were also paused by this unexpected episode, and the ministers present were also waiting to see what the next scene would be.
"Your Majesty, today is the Spring Festival Palace Banquet, and all the officials present here are above the fifth grade. It is said that the wives of their respective families should understand their respective responsibilities. When the civilian official said this, he turned his head and glanced around, and then his gaze stayed on Xi Ningyu and paused, "Kechen still finds that there are still people who don't know their duties and are willful!" ”
"Oh! I don't know who this willful person you are referring to? Emperor Xi Qin didn't speak, but listened to Ling Xuanyi, who was sitting there, ask.
This civil official is a doctor from the fourth grade of the Bachelor's Pavilion, surnamed Dong Mingzhao. At this moment, seeing that the Western Qin Emperor did not answer, it was the prince of Zhaojun who opened his mouth to answer, so he still bowed to Ling Xuanyi without changing his face.
"It was the woman who was sitting at the end of the Zhengyi Rank Woman, and the minister was lonely and unheard, and I didn't know which family this woman was!" After speaking, this Dong Zhao also glanced at Xi Ningyu, who was sitting there holding an apple and gnawing on it.
So the eyes of the people in the hall swept towards Xi Ningyu at this moment.
But Xi Ningyu was still unaware, sitting there completely idle. You should eat the fruit in your hand, and you should drink a sip of fruit wine specially prepared for women.
Everyone looked at her, and she looked back at everyone as if she had nothing to do with me.
Ling Xuanyi and Ling Qian, the Western Qin Emperor who was sitting high on top of him, looked at Xi Ningyu's appearance, and they were really about to hold back their laughter. "This girl, her skin is getting thicker and thicker!" Emperor Xiqin muttered quietly, causing the Ying Guifei beside him to also cover her mouth and chuckle.
was watched, and naturally some of them discovered Xi Ningyu's inappropriateness, so some whispered discussions gradually became louder and louder.
They all accused Xi Ningyu of the clothes she was wearing today, which was suspected of being disrespectful. It is really bold to dare to come so grandly wearing a first-class wife, a palace dress comparable to that of a royal concubine and a princess!
Just when everyone was pointing at Xi Ning Yu, except for Dong Zhao, who stood up and first pointed out that Ning Yu was not dressed appropriately. Another woman also got up and walked out from behind the seat: "Your Majesty, when you came to attend the palace banquet today, the chauffeur of the courtier's wife on the road was also beaten in public by this woman's order, and this woman's maidservant also moved with the courtier, and the courtier's wife asked Your Majesty to be the master of the courtier!" After saying that, the uncle and wife who had a conflict with Xi Ningyu when she entered the palace today actually sobbed and cried in public.
This surprised all the officials and relatives present, who was this who dared to beat the chauffeur of the uncle's mansion in public, and even the wife of the uncle!
However, there were also those present who knew the whole story of the matter nearby, but most people didn't know anything about Xi Ningyu. Even a few people who have heard of Xi Ningyu's reputation will not interject casually at this moment.
Shang Tianyan, Shao Qi'er and others, as well as Xi Ningyu's brother and sister-in-law, Mrs. Hou, Princess Ding, etc., were also sitting in place, and they were not worried about the situation Xi Ningyu fell into at the moment.
These people are not in a hurry, but some people are in a hurry. For example, Concubine Guifei, who was sitting next to Emperor Xiqin, heard that her sister-in-law was bullied today. And the person who bullied her sister-in-law was the woman surnamed Xi who sat where she was.
"Your Majesty, this woman's dress today is indeed suspicious, and this woman who the concubine doesn't seem to know should not be the daughter of an official eunuch. But wearing this kind of palace costume is really not polite! Seeing her sister-in-law crying below, Concubine Guifei leaned close to Ling Qian and whispered these words.
Ling Qian listened to it in his ears, with a little smile on his face, and felt that the two concubines around him were really too different. One is really a confidant, and the other is really stupid!
So Ling Qian turned his head sideways and said to the Ying Guifei on the other side: "Aifei, do you also think that woman violated the palace system today?" After speaking, Ling Qian looked at Concubine Ying, waiting for his beloved concubine's answer.
"The concubine thinks it's nothing, there must be a reason to wear it like this, today's feast, how can anyone be ignorant enough to make such a small mistake at such a point? There must be a reason for it, but the concubines don't know it! Concubine Ying replied with a smile, and after speaking, she picked up the water and wine on the table and brought it to Ling Qian's mouth to feed him.
As soon as Uncle and Mrs. Guo took the lead, she immediately stood up and came out with three or four subordinates who were close to her, and counted Xi Ningyu's faults in front of Ling Qian and Ling Xuanyi one by one.
Even those envoys were stunned when they heard this. The heart is wrong like this, how can you still live to participate in today's palace banquet, which place are you singing? Could it be that this scene was specially performed for us envoys, but it didn't feel like the purpose of our envoy to Xiqin!!
Especially the princess of the Dawan clan, watching so many people accuse Xi Ningyu, the woman who once conditioned her body and stayed with her in the post house for a few days. If it weren't for the fact that she came to Xiqin this time to target Ling Xuanyi, the prince, then she really wanted to get to know Xi Ningyu.
But he had no choice but to serve the public, since he saw the grace between her and Ling Xuanyi, he could only stand on the opposite side and fight with her!
Seeing that more and more people stood up to accuse Xi Ningyu, Ling Xuanyi, who was sitting on the side, had a darker and darker face. Originally, it was said that watching Uncle Guo's wife play treasure, when watching the excitement, anyway, as long as Xi Ningyu didn't suffer, he wouldn't stand up first.
According to Xi Ningyu's ability, how could he be embarrassed by a national uncle and wife. But at this moment, seeing that everyone who was close to Uncle Guo's wife was breathing out of one nostril, Ling Xuanyi had already secretly written it down in his heart, and turned around to clean up their men one by one!
Princess Ding looked at so many people and pointed at Xi Ningyu to blame, but she couldn't see it, "You people, in front of foreign envoys, have you made enough trouble?" No matter who is right or wrong about these things, can you tell your majesty on another occasion? Princess Ding's voice was slightly low, and she wrung her eyebrows to look at these official women, how unpleasant she looked.
"It's not appropriate for Princess Ding's words, and it was the court and the central doctor who first made the accusation, these official relatives are just bullied and complained, Princess Ding has nothing to do with you at this time, why do you bother to say more!" Concubine Guifei saw the exit of the princess, and the officials and wives below and her sister-in-law did not dare to speak, so they came out to intercept the princess's words, which was a secret reminder to everyone that she was behind in this matter today.
So those officials and wives came to the scene again, gossiping in front of the internal and external courtiers and foreign envoys, accusing Xi Ningyu without any scruples, and some people even took out the vicious rumors about Xi Ningyu a while ago and ridiculed them in the palace.
"Bang-" A thump resounded through the hall!
Xi Ningyu slapped the table, picked up a green jade wine glass on the desk and smashed it at the uncle's wife!
Not to mention that the smashing was quite accurate, it directly hit the bun on the head of the uncle's wife, and for a while, the uncle's wife's hair bun was messy and scattered!
Concubine Guifei's elder brother, Uncle Guo also stood up at this moment, "Diao woman, you are looking for death, in front of Your Majesty, you dare to hurt people!" Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you have seen it with your own eyes, and this is up to the husband and wife!! ”
Emperor Ling Qian of Western Qin pretended to have a cold face on his face, but he snickered in his heart. "Well, well, what Uncle Guo said is that he is the one who wants to be the master!" After speaking, Ling Qian also turned his head to look at Xi Ningyu who stood up. But there was no majesty in his eyes, but a faint smile.
Don't look at this Spring Festival palace banquet as a national feast, it is said that it should be peaceful and happy, with a sense of prosperity and gentleness. But the Western Qin Emperor found that in recent years, every time someone wants to find some 'fun' to add some blockage to others!
This time, let Ling Xuanyi take the opportunity to teach this group of people a lesson, and in the future, there will be no more difficulties in resolving personal grievances at the banquet, and even I can't eat a meal with me, and I will be panicked!
So the Western Qin Emperor turned a blind eye, whoever said was right, and whoever said he wanted to do it, he would do it. Anyway, wait a minute, you can't bear to wait for my nephew, just see who does whom!
Seeing that the Western Qin Emperor seemed to be on her side, the concubine jumped out. So he was even more energetic to blow the wind in Ling Qian's ears.
looked at his concubine, as well as the uncle below and several official wives who were in a lot of trouble. Emperor Xiqin felt a little annoyed, so he turned his head to Ling Xuanyi and asked, "Prince Zhaojun Wang, what do you think should be done?" ”
This move made the people who were making a fuss stunned, and they didn't understand how to ask Ling Shizi in their hearts.
Ling Xuanyi also lazily glanced at the emperor sitting above, as if it had only taken him half a day to react. I saw him turn his head and look at Xi Ningyu, "Have you played enough, do you want to play again?" ”
Xi Ningyu almost couldn't hold back her laughter, but she still held back.
Walking out of the seat, Xi Ningyu squatted slightly at Ling Qian, "Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty." The queue to enter the palace can only be entered after investigation, is it my Xiqin rule?
The maiden dared to ask Your Majesty again, when the carriage and horses entered the palace, the road was narrow and could not be avoided, whether they could wait equally. It is reasonable to avoid dignity, but it is also necessary to allow people to be convenient, if it is inevitable to avoid the left and right, do you want other people's cars and horses to fly up to the sky to make way for people?
There is also a question, that is, if the status is noble, can the domestic slave be instigated in public to humiliate others in public, or even tarnish people's reputation and ruin people's reputation? ”
Xi Ningyu asked three questions in a row, questioning Ling Qian without any scruples.
Being asked by Xi Ningyu like this, Ling Qian was also a little interested. So he looked at the people present, "I don't know what your three questions refer to?" ”
Xi Ningyu told everyone what happened on the road when she came to the palace banquet today, as well as when the carriage of the uncle's mansion asked her to give way, the coachman pointed to his carriage and scolded her, and said it word for word in front of everyone.
After some elaboration, Xi Ningyu was not angry or annoyed, and still stood calmly and gently, waiting for Ling Qian and the others present to make judgments.
After Ling Qian heard that this was the case, he looked coldly at the uncle and wife who was still there with tears to win sympathy and asked, "What this woman said, but is it the truth?" ”
