Chapter 58: Unexpected Situations
Xin Xiang didn't believe a word. Let's not talk about whether the things here are precious or not, let's just say that she Baili Lan is the master who is short of money? The money she earns from herself every year is enough to build a palace ten times more luxurious than here, who cares about that little profit. It seems that this Helian Rong'er must be lying! In the face of people who dare to calculate Baili Lan, Xin Xiang has always admired him, because those who dare to pluck the hair on the tiger's head, although the end will be miserable, but he has also been a hero once, right?
Obviously, the third prince also didn't believe Helian Rong'er's words, he knew very well what kind of person Baili Lan was. It must have been Helian Rong'er who annoyed Baili Lan, so there will be this today.
And the emperor and queen who saw Baili Lan for the first time, Ye Qingmei and others were suspicious of this matter.
Sneering disdainfully, Bai Lilan thought to herself that this Helian Rong'er was really a pig's brain, she had just been recognized by herself, and she continued to use it with a cheeky face, no wonder the third prince was always looking for women outside, and he didn't want to come back to face her!
Holding her arms casually, Baili Lan raised her chin and said with a proud expression, "Stealing?" Have you ever seen a person who would steal in a dark wooden house with no light in sight? Hands and feet still tied with ropes? Helian Rong'er, you can't be so shameless, you kidnapped me and tried to commit murder, but now you are beating me up, do you want me to show everyone the agreement you signed with the hired thugs? ”
Helian Rong'er's body stiffened, slowly stood up, looked at Xiang'er with a pale face, as if she was looking at a dead person, and asked in a cold voice, "You cheap hoof, what do you do if you don't sign an agreement with someone!" Are you afraid that people won't be able to catch me! ”
"Slave maid...... There are no slaves! Xiang'er hurriedly waved her hands and said in a panic, "The slave doesn't even know how to speak, how can she sign an agreement with someone else!" The slave had never seen anything like that! ”
Hearing Xiang'er say this, Helian Rong'er looked at Baili Lan in confusion, but found that the latter's smile was getting bigger and bigger, and finally looked at herself happily and said, "Oh, you're really a deceit." I just cheated you, I didn't expect you to really take the bait! ”
At this time, Helian Rong'er is not self-admitted.
Pulling Helian Rong'er in front of him suddenly, the third prince was full of murderous aura and roared loudly, "What are you going to do to Lan'er!" You slut, you killed Lianhua back then, and now you want to extend your poisonous hand to Lan'er! I'm not going to let you succeed again! After speaking, the third prince pushed Helian Rong'er to the ground.
only heard Helian Rong'er scream, and then shrank on the ground, not daring to move.
Ye Qingmei hurriedly protected Helian Rong'er behind him, looked at the emperor with weak eyes, and begged, "Your Majesty, this matter has not been investigated clearly, so you can't just believe Baili Lan's words!" Let's carefully check all the losses to see what went wrong before we can decide! If the mouth of a foreign woman alone convicts Rong'er, it will hurt the heart of the family! I hope the emperor will think twice! ”
Hearing Ye Qingmei raise his eyebrows out of the family to suppress himself, Emperor Nanzhao had to lean towards her side. Even if he knew that this incident would definitely not be able to escape from Helian Rong'er.
"Come on, tie up that Baili Lan first!"
"No!"
The ones who made the blocking sound were the three princes and Xin Xiang. The third prince and the emperor knew that it was naturally out of love and care, and he was unwilling to let his beloved woman suffer. And this has nothing to do with Baili Lan in the first place. But why did Xin Xiang also speak out to stop it?
Emperor Nanzhao's gaze looked at Xin Xiang, waiting for his explanation.
Standing up hard, Prime Minister Xin lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, although Baili Lan has abandoned the concubine for Beining, she is still loved by the Emperor of Beining. ”
"Hmph, she has been retired by Shu Yichen, where is she still a nobleman! Xin Xiang is old and confused! When she just heard that Baili Lan would be detained, Helian Rong'er was overjoyed. But after hearing Xin Xiang's words, she was the first to jump out and object, and Ye Qingmei couldn't stop it.
Pushing Helian Rong'er back in displeasure, Ye Qingmei gave her a warning look, then looked at Xin Xiang and said, "Although what Rong'er said is more direct, the truth is still the same. Baili Lan is no longer a nobleman, but just a commoner. Now this matter involves the safety of our Nanzhao royal family, even if she is a nobleman of Beining, I am afraid she will have to follow the rules of our Nanzhao! ”
"Lan'er has done nothing wrong, what qualifications do you have to arrest her!" The third prince roared angrily, and his eyes almost breathed fire looked straight at the pair of sisters.
"You're so troublesome, I'll sit down for a while, and tell me the result after you discuss it!" Bai Lilan sat on the stone bench casually, and then as if she suddenly thought of something, she took out a gold pendant from her bosom and said in a relaxed tone, "By the way, I only remembered when you mentioned Beining." When I left Bac Ninh that day, Su Yichen gave me this thing, saying that he would take it out if he was in trouble elsewhere in the day. I've never been short of money, and this thing has never been of much use. You're also royalty, so if you touch the class, do you know what this thing is for? ”
Looking at the little golden phoenix that kept dangling in front of him, everyone's eyes were going to be dizzy.
"Hmph, I thought why, it's just a golden bump, and this kind of unpopular thing is embarrassed to show off!"
"Smack,,"
Everyone heard a crisp sound, and then Helian Rong'er looked at the emperor in disbelief, her lips moved, but she couldn't make a sound.
"If you don't know, don't talk nonsense here! How do you learn the etiquette on weekdays, in front of the VIPs, you can also tolerate your presumptuousness! ”
VIP?
Everyone was confused again, and it didn't take a while to think about it, how could Baili Lan go from a prisoner to a VIP!
Baili Lan naturally knows the reason for this. She played with the little golden phoenix in her hand, and the corners of her mouth were playfully hooked.
It turned out that what Su Yichen gave her that day was not the property she used to sell, but the order that symbolized the status of the royal family, Huohuang'er. In the eyes of its neighbors, it represents the mother of a country in the future. What is accepted must also be the highest courtesy of a country. If they are treated unfairly, they can even cause war between the two countries. After all, in this backward era, face is more important than everything. And this is why Emperor Nanzhao is nervous.
It's also a reception.,Just tied people here directly! If this spreads, he, the monarch, will not have the shame to send envoys out of other countries in the future!
The Queen Mother also saw what Bai Lilan was holding in her hand, and hurriedly pressed Ye Qingmei, who was eager to try, and smiled at Bai Lilan, "It turned out to be just a misunderstanding!" Baili girl, you don't mind the mourning family calling you like this. Since you can come to our Nanzhao, it is a kind of fate, why don't you sit down and have dinner together. It should be regarded as the mourning family to make amends for this ignorant princess! ”
can let the queen mother say apology in person, everyone feels the weight in these words, and they don't dare to make a mistake at the moment, stand there in a proper manner, and accept the listen. And the third prince finally breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, Baili Lan was safe for the time being.
The corners of her mouth playfully hooked, Bai Lilan shook the fire phoenix in her hand, and said casually, "Okay, it just so happens that I'm also hungry, so let's try it, the royal feast with the unique flavor of Nanzhao!" ”
After appeasing Baili Lan, the Queen Mother hurriedly called several women with different thoughts to her palace, and reprimanded Helian Rong'er with a slap in her face.
"You're so confused! I've experienced a lesson, and I don't know how to grow my brain, and now I'm doing it again! If you do it cleanly, you don't need others to clean up the mess for you, but let the emperor and the three princes show it right! I'm afraid the mourning family won't be able to treasure you this time!"
Helian Rong'er said unrelentingly, "Why did the Queen Mother say that? That Baili Lan is just an abandoned concubine, what's so scary, why are you and the emperor so afraid of her! ”
"Presumptuous!" The Queen Mother was angry, slammed the crutches in her hand, and said angrily, "You almost brought a disaster to Nanzhao, not only did you not repent, but you also made a lot of nonsense here, you knelt down for the mourning family!" ”
Pouting, Helian Rong'er just wanted to refute, but was pressed down by Ye Qingmei, and knelt on the ground reluctantly.
"You may not know that what was just held in the hands of Baili Lan is the symbol representing the future mother of Bac Ninh, the fire phoenix. And our Nanzhao also has such a token, which has always been in the hands of the queen, and it is a Qingluan. Naturally, Lan Zhaoguo also has such treasures. And owning this treasure not only represents a noble status in one's own country, but also a neighboring country that needs to give enough face. If not, I'm afraid it will lead to war! ”
Helian Rong'er's face turned pale, and he opened his lips and said, "Imperial grandmother, what ...... Then if I treat Baili Lan like this, will it bring disaster to our Nanzhao? ”
"The mourning family looks at that Baili Lan, and it doesn't look like a troublemaker. The reason why Huohuang'er was taken out was completely because he was bullied by Rong'er and couldn't do it. Rong'er, this matter is completely because of you, and you will go to make amends in person in a while! If Bai Lilan can let go, the mourning family will not pursue this matter, but if Bai Lilan insists that you have neglected her, then ...... Even if it's the Ye family, it won't help you! ”
Frightened by the Queen Mother, Helian Rong'er immediately lost her complexion, and looked at Ye Qingmei beside her helplessly, but found that her cousin turned her head gently and did not look at herself.
Only then did Helian Rong'er know that her jealousy had committed a catastrophe. The cousin didn't want to pay attention to herself, but the path pointed out by the Queen Mother embarrassed her. But in order to continue to hold the title of the third imperial concubine, Helian Rong'er had to endure the humiliation and personally apologize to Baili Lan.
On the other side, Baili Lan was sitting in the listening hall with Emperor Nanzhao and the three princes and Xin Xiang. If it is a woman next to her, in such a majestic palace, she will definitely be frightened, lest she do something wrong and attract ridicule. But Baili Lan seemed to have arrived at a familiar place, and between her gestures, she showed the demeanor of a gentleman.
I have to say that even Emperor Nanzhao has a special affection for Baili Lan, not to mention the hairy boy Na Xunmao. The most attractive thing about Baili Lan is not her unparalleled appearance, but her innate and unique temperament. That kind of arrogance on the top makes men involuntarily want to conquer her and make her completely surrender. This kind of exclusive mind makes people want to stop.
