It seemed that she didn't expect Fu Xuanlin to disobey her in public, and Empress Yue's body stiffened, and her face was black for a while and white for a while.

Ke Wanning saw Fu Xuanlin protecting Zhan Xinglan, and immediately said angrily: "Eleventh brother, at the queen mother's birthday banquet today, Zhan Xinglan ridiculed the queen mother's background with a congratulatory gift, and the queen mother is already very kind to her by driving her out of the palace, don't be confused."

"Yes, eleventh brother, after the accident of Concubine Chun, it was the queen mother who took care of you wholeheartedly. The queen mother treats you as her own, but you disobey the queen mother so much, it is really unfilial!" Z.br>

Fu Tingxuan's words poked Fu Xuanlin's heart word by word.

Sure enough, when Fu Xuanlin heard the three words of pure concubine, his eyes were suddenly full of murderous aura.

But before Fu Xuanlin broke out, Emperor Jing couldn't sit still.

"Enough! One by one, you are fighting each other here, will you not be able to die?"

Empress Yue was frightened by Emperor Jing's roar, and immediately began to cry.

"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that her background is not high, and she is not worthy of her mother's honor in the world. But over the years, the concubines have been humble and obedient to His Majesty, and they have taken care of their children wholeheartedly. I didn't expect to be humiliated like Princess Ling in the end, and I asked Your Majesty to be the master of the concubine."

As Empress Yue spoke, tears really fell.

"Father, the daughter-in-law thought that Princess Ling humiliated the queen mother in public in the name of congratulatory gifts on the day of the queen mother's birthday banquet, which was clearly a provocation to the queen mother and despised the royal majesty. The daughter-in-law implored her father and the emperor to re-issue the princess."

Ke Wanning said righteously.

Emperor Jing asked quite tentatively, "Then according to the opinion of the crown princess, how should Princess Ling be released?"

"According to my daughter-in-law's opinion, I should re-whip the thirty boards to set an example!"

Before Ke Wanning's words fell, Fu Xuanlin and Fu Tingxuan both cast dissatisfied glances at her.

The father and son of the Zhan family on the side looked at Ke Wanning angrily.

In the final analysis, this is always a royal family matter, and those of them who are courtiers cannot interject, otherwise not only will they not be able to help Zhan Xinglan, but they will also let others criticize the Zhan family.

"What does the queen think?"

Empress Yue wiped her tears with her fingers, and said in great embarrassment: "The concubine was humiliated on the day of the birthday banquet, and she wants to ask for an explanation, so it is better to follow what the princess said."

"Father, let your daughter-in-law say a few words."

Zhan Xinglan, as a party to this farce, finally had the opportunity to interject.

Emperor Jing raised his hand and said, "Speak."

Zhan Xinglan folded his hands under his chest, and Lianbu stepped forward, "Don't hide it from my father and queen mother, my daughter-in-law will give her a phoenix wearing a peony mica screen as a congratulatory gift, which is a good intention."

"Good intentions?" Empress Yue looked at Zhan Xinglan in shock, "Tell me, what kind of kindness do you have!"

Zhan Xinglan smiled and said, "It is rumored that the queen mother's homeland is a poor and remote place called Peony Village, and the queen mother is afraid that others will say that the queen of the dynasty is from a humble background, and she is an ignorant village woman, so she is very taboo about peony."

"But Buddhism has a cloud, and everything in the world is empty. Only its emptiness can contain all things. The Queen Mother has always believed in the Dharma and is a role model for all the people in the world, so she must have understood the profound Buddha Truth that only by abandoning obsession can we embrace all things."

"The queen mother is well aware of righteousness, and she has all things in the world in her heart, how can she be obsessed with the innocent peony and taboo in every way? I think it's just a rumor from the world."

"The daughter-in-law dared to use this screen engraved with a phoenix wearing a peony as a congratulatory gift, firstly, to let the world know that the queen mother was not the villain of the bucket, so as to clear up the world's misunderstanding of the queen mother. Second, I feel that the peony is graceful and luxurious, elegant and noble, and has the meaning of perfection and auspiciousness, and with the phoenix soaring in the sky as a backdrop, it is in line with the meaning of the queen mother's peony flowers."

Zhan Xinglan talked about the lotus flower, and stubbornly said that the untouchable taboo was something beyond the world.

At this time, the floor of the glossy hall reflects a soft glow in the sunlight.

The faint beam of light happened to be sprinkled on Zhan Xinglan's bright yellow silk cloud sara, mottled with golden light, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Zhan Xinglan is like one

An unshakable immortal saint stands on top of the main hall.

Everyone looked at Zhan Xinglan, their eyes full of admiration.

Even Fu Xuanlin couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

There are very few people in the world who can turn things around with just one mouth, and if it is true, Zhan Xinglan must be famous.

Empress Yue's expression now is that it's not right to cry, and it's not right not to cry.

After all, the high hat that Zhan Xinglan wore for her was almost up to the sky.

If she continues to punish Zhan Xinglan for carving peonies on the congratulatory gift, then she will become a small-minded and short-sighted villain.

But if she accepted this congratulatory gift, it would be a public admission that she was not taboo with peonies.

Which is more important, Empress Yue silently weighed the weight of the two in her heart.

Emperor Jing looked sideways at Empress Yue, "Empress, Princess Ling said that you don't mind your background for a long time, and you don't taboo peonies, but seriously?"

Empress Yue gritted her teeth and said, "Yes."

"Then why did the queen insist on punishing Princess Ling?"

"Concubine ....."

Yue Hou lowered her eyelids weakly, and her lips opened and closed, but she really couldn't answer this question if she had a good chance.

Emperor Jing glanced at Empress Yue and snorted lightly.

"That's it, since it's a misunderstanding, then the queen can accept it."

Empress Yue nodded knowingly, "Yes, come on, send this screen to the Lizheng Palace."

"But since the queen is not taboo about peonies, I happen to have a pair of peony golden hairpins there, so I gave them to the queen as a birthday gift, and the queen should not dislike it."

"The concubine likes it, thank you for the reward."

Empress Yue gritted her teeth and smiled awkwardly.

Now it's okay, with Emperor Jing as an example, in the future, I am afraid that others will desperately give her something in the style of peony, but she still can't refuse.

And all of this is thanks to Zhan Xinglan!

Empress Yue gritted her teeth and looked at Zhan Xinglan, who had already returned to her seat, as if a huge stone had been blocked in her heart.

This little girl is even more annoying than the evil barrier, and she must be asked to find a chance to get rid of her.

Next is He Fuyan and Xi Li'er, the two princes and concubines.

He Fuyan gave a coral pinched golden red jade phoenix hairpin, which was dazzling and ingenious.

But there is a little white powder on the feathers on the tail of the phoenix, and if you don't look closely, you can't find it at all.

Xi Li'er gave a pair of peacock feather fans on the golden silk nanmu seat.

Empress Yue didn't have the heart to praise the congratulatory gifts they gave now, so she just smiled perfunctorily and let people accept them.

He Fuyan and Xi Li'er both sat down.

It's just that Xi Li'er glanced at Ke Wanning when she passed by.

Empress Yue did not immediately put on He Fuyan's congratulatory gift, and the two of them couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Halfway through the birthday banquet, delicious dishes were served one by one, and everyone present was staggered, talking and laughing.

Zhan Xinglan stopped his chopsticks after a few bites.

"What's wrong? Don't you have an appetite?"

Fu Xuanlin asked with concern.

"Lan'er is just a little worried, if there is such a fuss today, I am afraid that even if there is an epiphany, the queen and the crown prince will not relax their vigilance against us."

After all, everyone saw Fu Xuanlin's earnest performance of protecting his wife just now.

The rumors about the discord between King Ling and Princess Ling were self-defeating.

Fu Xuanlin put down his chopsticks and held Zhan Xinglan's hand under the table.

"That's just right, this king doesn't need to pretend to cater to Epiphany, and he doesn't need to continue to stay alone in the study."

Zhan Xinglan rolled his eyes, approached Fu Xuanlin and asked in a low voice, "Does the prince really dislike Epiphany?" She's the best in shape."

Fu Xuanlin chuckled and said, "This king's heart is very small, and he can only accommodate one person."

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly, and everything was silent.

After eating, everyone walked around as they pleased.

Fu Xuan

Lin just wanted to leave with Zhan Xinglan's waist in his arms, but was stopped by Kou Huai who came over.

"The old slave took the liberty of disturbing His Highness and the princess. Your Majesty has invited His Royal Highness King Ling to the west hall of the Lin De Hall to see him."

"The king knows." Fu Xuanlin turned his head to look at Zhan Xinglan and said softly, "I'll come when I go, be careful by yourself."

"Well, Your Highness is relieved."

Zhan Xinglan looked at the backs of Fu Xuanlin and Kou Huai heading towards the West Hall, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

She shook her head, determined to go to the Tai Liquid Pool to relax.

The Taiye Pool is less than 100 meters away from the Lin De Palace, and many people come here to relax and enjoy the coolness.

"Princess Ling today is really amazing, if I had such good eloquence, I wouldn't have to suffer from my mother-in-law every day."

"Yes, Princess Ling is not afraid of danger, and she really has the demeanor of being behind the gate."

"Hey, it's a pity, we don't have the sharp teeth of Princess Ling, so we can only be wronged in vain."

The two married ladies envy Zhan Xinglan's courage and intelligence, and sigh at their incompetence and humility.

Zhan Xinglan sat under the corridor next to the Taiye Pool, quietly listening to their distant conversations.

"Eleventh brother and sister, would you mind if the palace was seated here?"

A familiar voice sounded above Zhan Xinglan's head, Zhan Xinglan sighed, slowly got up and saluted Fu Tingxuan.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to sit down, the concubine will go elsewhere."

With that, Zhan Xinglan walked away indifferently.

But as soon as she took two steps, she heard Fu Tingxuan say, "The eleventh brother and sister once gave the palace a jade pendant engraved with your maiden name as a token of love, don't you want to go back?"

Zhan Xinglan frowned, and his feet stopped.

Why is this thing so ghostly!

She turned around, walked in front of Fu Tingxuan, and sat down unceremoniously.

"What about the jade pendant, return me!"

Fu Tingxuan smiled slightly, didn't mind her rudeness, but sat down where she had sat just now.

"Xinglan, you're really getting more and more beautiful now."

Zhan Xinglan felt disgusted again and again, how could this thing be shameless to such a point.

"The concubine and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already have families, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will respect himself."

"Xinglan, I've always wanted to ask you a question, as long as you answer truthfully, I will immediately return the jade pendant to Zhao."

"Okay, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just asks."

"Before Fu Xuanlin's leg injury healed, you treated me with deep affection, and showed me your heart and said that you were happy with me. But as soon as Fu Xuanlin's leg injury healed, you began to deliberately alienate me, and you also pulled out the private relationship between Li'er and me with great fanfare. Are you empathetic, or are you deliberately trying to take revenge on me?"

Fu Tingxuan put away his playful smile and looked at Zhan Xinglan with a very serious expression.

"You and I are married, is this issue so important to you?"

"Yes."
