Concubine Ning came with a large group of maids and chamberlains, and sat down in the tent in the middle. A group of wealthy daughters from aristocratic families who were enrolled in school knelt down and saluted outside.
"I have met Concubine Ning."
"No courtesy, please get up!" Concubine Ning smiled and raised her hand.
The daughters of the aristocratic families all stood up and stood on both sides of the house in a neat manner.
"I heard that the admission ceremony of White Rock Academy is extremely grand, and the daughter of aristocratic families who is admitted is extremely outstanding. I came here today just to have a look and join in the fun. You don't have to be formal."
Concubine Ning smiled and spoke, very approachable, which made some of the worried daughters of the aristocratic families heave a sigh of relief. Concubine Ning was actually much kinder than rumored.
"I came early today. I just asked the ladies at the academy and they said they haven't started yet. Why don't I get to know them one by one now," Concubine Ning continued.
Do they know each other? Several daughters of aristocratic families with slightly different status were very excited. They could not have known Concubine Ning in the past, but now they can leave a number with Concubine Ning. That is a great thing.
After Concubine Ning finished speaking, she asked the chamberlain to call people to come over one by one according to the enrollment list.
The admission list of Baishi Academy has been sent to Concubine Ning a long time ago.
Since the calculation was based on the roster, Yu Xijiao didn't have the inconvenience to go back and sit down first. She just waited aside, waiting for her to be called. The other daughters of the aristocratic families did not leave, waiting quietly for Concubine Ning to announce her call.
After calling her by name and asking how she was studying, what she liked, and what she would perform, Concubine Ning asked her to go back. Her attitude was calm and gentle, which made people like her very much.
When Yu Xijiao was called, Yu Xijiao walked out of the queue calmly, walked up to Concubine Ning, and bowed sideways: "I have met Concubine Ning."
"The third girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion?" Concubine Ning looked at Yu Xijiao and asked with a smile, her expression became gentler and her smile was full of joy.
"Yes." Yu Xijiao looked respectful.
"Sure enough, he is a good one. Prince Qi is extremely lucky." Concubine Ning smiled and pointed to the seat next to her, "Just stay here with me today. It's rare to have someone I can talk to."
"Don't dare to disturb the queen." Yu Xi declined delicately.
"What are you talking about? Don't bother me. It's rare for me to leave the palace. It's fate that I happened to meet you." Concubine Ning said.
Since she said it again and again, Yu Xijiao couldn't refuse anymore and could only follow the chamberlain to sit down next to Concubine Ning.
But just as he sat down, he suddenly heard the sound of "ringing" beside him. He turned around in fright and saw a palace maid already kneeling on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy.
"Mother, this slave is guilty."
"Why are you panicking?" Concubine Ning's eyes fell on the palace maid coldly, her face darkened. Suddenly, the chambermaid who was about to call another girl stopped, and everyone's attention was focused on this palace maid.
"Servant...servant serves tea to Miss Yu San." The palace maid stammered.
"Since we are serving tea, why panic?" Concubine Ning said displeased.
"Mother...Mother..." The palace maid's gums were fighting.
"Say." Concubine Ning asked sharply.
Yu Xijiao lowered her eyes and looked at the top of the palace maid's hair. Her eyes were deep and as calm as water.
"Your Majesty, I didn't mean to see it. I really didn't mean it. I saw it accidentally." The palace maid said in a panic.
"If you don't tell me what you saw, why don't you ask your Majesty to punish you?" a chambermaid scolded loudly in a high-pitched voice.
The people around her didn't dare to express their anger. This matter was very strange. They knew that something was wrong with this palace maid at a glance, but they didn't know what this matter had to do with Yu Xijiao.
The daughter of the aristocratic family who was jealous because Concubine Ning specially asked Yu Xijiao to sit in front of her had a bad feeling. She glanced at Yu Xijiao secretly and only saw Yu Xijiao's calm profile.
"Miss Yu...Yu...Miss Yu's hairpin, I saw the hairpin..." the palace maid stammered. Following her words, everyone looked at the top of Yu Xijiao's hair.
She wore two hairpins today, one was relatively ordinary, and the other was a bit unusual. There were only three kinds of gemstones inlaid on it, and the three gemstones were inlaid so perfectly that people couldn't help but
Take a closer look and you will see not only the value of the gemstones, but also the perfect setting of the gemstones and their perfect quality.
There are only a few of them, but three of the same quality are placed together, and the setting is so excellent, and the colors are also very suitable. It seems that these three gems should be set in this way. Such a balance is difficult to master, and it is very difficult.
It's rare to find three gems that match so well.
Everyone who came in and saw Yu Xijiao just now noticed the hairpin on her head, and now they look at it even more brilliantly.
"What's wrong with the hairpin?" Concubine Ning said softly.
"This...this hairpin...hairpin..." The palace maid stuttered again.
"Say." Concubine Ning snorted coldly.
The palace maid was so frightened that she immediately stopped stammering and said with a crying voice: "Mother, this hairpin is one of His Highness King Yong's set. It was made by the craftsmen in the palace. I happened to meet His Highness King Yong before and sent someone to get it."
Come on, I took a closer look at it, and there is this hairpin inside."
One sentence caused a huge uproar. Everyone was shocked and looked at Yu Xijiao almost in horror.
The originally quiet crowd suddenly became loud. No one thought that the hairpin on Yu Xijiao's head had such an origin.
King Yong’s hairpin?
Who is Yu Xijiao? She is the future Crown Princess of Qi, and she actually has King Yong’s hairpin on her head. What does this mean? Could it be that Yu Xijiao and King Yong have a relationship in private? And under what circumstances, King Yong
Would you give the hairpin to Yu Xijiao? How... is this inappropriate?
The faces of many daughters from aristocratic families looked strange, and their eyes immediately showed a bit of contempt. Sure enough, they were not good at all. How could they seduce His Highness King Yong with a vixen face?
Yu Xijiao's eyes were still extremely calm, and she even raised her eyes to look around. Then, under the mocking gazes of everyone, she slowly sat upright and no longer paid attention to the palace maid who dropped the tea cup, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
As if it doesn't matter.
For her, there was nothing wrong with what she had guessed, but she didn't expect Concubine Ning to be so direct. She fluttered her long eyelashes twice to hide the ridicule in her eyes.
Yu Lanxue is quite capable...
After Concubine Ning was stunned for a moment, she angrily shouted: "Nonsense."
"Your Majesty, I'm really not talking nonsense. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can go to the craftsman to get the booklet. The original booklet is still there. Although there is no seal of the palace on the hairpin, but... there are drawings on the booklet." The palace maid saw Concubine Ning.
I didn’t believe it, but I was anxious and defended hurriedly and sweating profusely.
Seeing the certainty of her words, everyone immediately looked at Yu Xijiao. Yu Xijiao was still sitting calmly, neither asking nor answering.
The scene became eerily quiet.
Concubine Ning scolded her again, and finally looked at Yu Xijiao: "Miss Yu, I wonder where your hairpin came from?"
Hearing Concubine Ning's question, Yu Xijiao stood up and bowed to Concubine Ning: "To inform Concubine Ning, this hairpin belongs to me and has nothing to do with King Yong."
"No...impossible, it belongs to King Yong. There was only one batch of this kind of gemstone at the beginning. The quality was particularly good and it fit perfectly. The Queen specially asked the craftsmen to make jewelry for the three princes. Your Highness King Yong
This is what they are doing." The palace maid became anxious and shouted loudly.
Yu Xijiao's eyes fell on the palace maid, she looked at her carefully, and suddenly asked: "Can't it be mine?"
"Impossible." The palace maid retorted loudly, her face turning red. "If you don't believe it, you can go get the brochure and compare it."
"Why is it impossible? My grandmother's family can't afford such a hairpin for me?" Yu Xi glanced at the palace maid delicately and said disapprovingly.
"Impossible, these are those gems. Only a few princes have them, no one else can have them." The palace maid said with a blushing face.
Concubine Ning gently pressed her handkerchief to her lips, "Since you can't explain clearly, then send someone to the palace to get the booklet. We will know, but..."
When Concubine Ning said this, she looked at Yu Xijiao with a stern expression, "If this hairpin is really King Yong's hairpin, I'm afraid it won't be easy for Miss Yu to explain it to me."
"What do you think I want to explain to you?" Yu Xi said softly.
Concubine Ning looked at Yu Xijiao's face carefully and suddenly smiled: "Actually, I don't think it is King Yong's. No matter how young Miss Yu is, she would not be able to do such a disrespectful thing.
So, what’s the harm in a couple.”
As he spoke, he nodded and called a chamberlain. The chamberlain turned around and hurried out. He really wanted to go to the palace to get the book.
If this really happened, it would mean that Yu Xijiao and Prince Yong had an affair. Not only would Prince Yong's reputation be ruined, but Yu Xijiao, the future Crown Princess of Qi, would be very attractive.
With the eccentricity of Prince Qi, it is possible that Yu Xijiao could be cut into pieces with a thousand knives, and he might even bring trouble to Prince Yong.
Some people are already afraid that the Crown Prince of Qi will fight with Prince Yong by then?
Some people were afraid, some were panicked, and some were sitting calmly. Yu Xijiao was the calm person, calmly watching the waiter leave, and then looking at Concubine Ning. She turned her head and asked slightly delicately: "Your Majesty,
Why don't you think it was this palace maid who accused me?"
Concubine Ning choked. She didn't expect that Yu Xijiao could find another explanation at this time. In her opinion, this hairpin also belonged to King Yong, and it was indeed one of those gems.
She also went to see and touch it, originally thinking that the one she chose was hers, but she didn't expect that the queen gave all of them to several princes. Later, although the emperor also gave her gems, she always felt that they were not as good as the three before.
It is easier to find gemstones with the same quality and one gemstone with the same quality. If three gemstones are the same, they are really rare.
Just now she specially observed the hairpin on Yu Xijiao's head and called her over just to see it more clearly. Now she was sure that the hairpin was from that set and belonged to King Yong.
"Miss Yu, after the confrontation, you can also make this palace maid give up." Concubine Ning said vaguely.
"Concubine Ning, I have been in trouble again and again recently. I was either assassinated or framed. Now it's happening again. I don't know who it is this time." Yu Xi lowered her long eyelashes and said with self-pity.
, did not complain to Concubine Ning again, but her expression was a bit sad and her smile was bitter.
Concubine Ning panicked inexplicably. This was completely different from what she had imagined. Her eyes fell on Yu Xijiao. Yu Xijiao was too calm and made her feel bad.
"Why, someone wants to frame my crown prince's crown prince again?" A voice suddenly came from outside the quiet crowd. Although he was laughing, there was a bit of yin and yang surliness...
