Several people had lunch with the Queen Mother, and when the lunch was finished, tea and snacks were served.
The Queen Mother was also tired now and was about to go in to rest when she suddenly heard a palace official coming to report: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and the eldest princess Minghe are asking for an audience."
The Queen Mother frowned and looked at Zhang Wanyin, who looked confused.
"Invite them in." The Queen Mother sat down again.
The queen came in slowly, and before she could say anything, the eldest princess Minghe who was following her knelt down with a plop: "I beg the Queen Mother to make the decision for Minghe and Jiao'er."
As he spoke, he started crying.
Feng Yu leaned back and propped up his elbows as if watching the excitement. Yu Xijiao sat under him, looked up at his handsome profile, and calmed down.
Princess Ming and the eldest princess are really good at acting, and they don't care much about face. They can cry like this in front of several of their juniors. Is this because they are seeking justice for Xu Anjiao?
Feng Lanxiu frowned and looked at Zhang Wanyin. Zhang Wanyin nodded to him calmly, indicating that the matter had been discussed with the Queen Mother in private.
"Get up and talk first." The Queen Mother's face darkened.
The queen turned around helplessly, and personally reached out to help Ming and the eldest princess, helped her up, and said gently: "Eldest princess, please talk to me if you have anything to do."
"The Empress Dowager, I beg the Empress Dowager to make the decision for Jiao'er. She entered the palace today. Jiao'er was very happy, but when she came back...she wanted to hang herself in the room. If the maid beside her hadn't reacted quickly and kicked the door open, Jiao'er would have died.
...Jiaoer is dead." Princess Ming and the eldest daughter cried.
The Queen helped her sit down, and she also sat down beside her: "Queen Mother, did something happen? I heard that An Jiao was in your palace before."
"The Queen Mother, Jiao'er wants to die now. I...I was so anxious that I came to beg the Queen Mother to make the decision for Jiao'er. She...if she really died, I wouldn't be able to live anymore.
" Princess Ming and the eldest daughter said while wiping away tears.
She burst into tears and Feng Lanxiu was very embarrassed. It was very rude for an elder to cry like this in front of him, but it was inconvenient for him to leave now and he could not leave.
I knew Ming and the eldest princess would quarrel, but I didn't expect her quarrel to be so severe and come so quickly.
He looked up at Feng Yu across from him and saw that he was smiling and watching the fun, as if he didn't know that this matter had anything to do with him. He felt more and more depressed in his heart. Feng Yu, the person involved, was fine, but he, the spectator, was feeling uneasy.
"Empress Dowager, please tell me, what happened to Jiao'er? Why did she make such a fuss the first time she entered the palace? What on earth happened to her? No matter how I ask this girl now, she won't say anything. She just cries.
As soon as I left, she wanted to commit suicide again, and I...I really had no choice but to let people watch her now."
Ming and the eldest princess continued to cry.
She didn't know anything, she just came to beg the Queen Mother. This method was much better than Xu Anjiao's. No wonder her aunt and grandmother were manipulated by her back then.
She didn't know her aunt's temperament, but a person as stubborn as her grandmother would feel aggrieved when she met the eldest princess Minghe in front of her.
Can you cry? Can you make trouble, so you have the upper hand.
But will Feng Yu bow his head if he continues to make trouble? I always feel that there is something weird in this. If Feng Yu could be suppressed, he would not choose himself as the crown prince in the first place!
With sarcasm in her eyes, her head lowered slightly, she continued to follow the crowd and listen to the excitement calmly. She wouldn't feel embarrassed. If you want to make a scene...just make a scene!
"Why are An Jiao so disobedient?" The Queen Mother's face darkened.
"Empress Dowager, you have also watched Jiao'er grow up. This is her temperament. She doesn't say anything when she is wronged. She just swallows it in her stomach and suffers it alone. Now... now she doesn't say anything and just thinks about it.
I beg you to die, if she really has this intention, I...even if I can see her for a while, I can't see her for the rest of my life, please tell the Queen Mother what happened?"
Princess Ming and the eldest princess cried like tears and begged.
"It's nothing serious. I just played with the two of them for a while and had a conversation." The Queen Mother was impatient with her crying, but she had to suppress her temper to talk to her.
He pointed vaguely at Yu Xijiao and Zhang Wanyin.
The eldest princess Minghe pressed her handkerchief on the corners of her eyes, her eyes fell from Yu Xijiao to Zhang Wanyin, and said anxiously: "Princess Mingqing, what happened? Why did Jiaoer behave like this after returning home?"
I can't think of it, maybe something embarrassing happened?"
It was really embarrassing. Being called "ugly girl" by Feng Yu, Zhang Wanyin felt that even she couldn't bear this tone.
"Princess." Zhang Wanyin stood up and bowed.
"You...speak quickly." Ming and the eldest princess said eagerly.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just said a few words to Miss Yu San. Maybe... I didn't mean what County Master Xu meant, but in fact, it's nothing." Zhang Wanyin stood up and said with a smile.
"It's nothing. Jiao'er will just want to die." Princess Minghe's eyes widened and she turned to Yu Xijiao, "Miss Yu, what exactly did you say? Could it be that you wanted to force Jiao'er to death? Even if we and I
If your grandmother is at odds with you, that is also a matter for the elders. I am still your aunt and your elder."
When she came up, she put a big hat on herself. Yu Xijiao sneered in her heart, thinking that she wanted to take advantage of the Queen Mother and the Queen to suppress her.
He stood up and bowed sideways, raised his eyes, and said in a voice as clear and smooth as the wind: "Princess Minghe, I don't know what you mean by this. You came up and put the responsibility on me without saying a word. You think... I
She is my grandmother's granddaughter, so she should be responsible for this?"
"Bold girl, what are you talking nonsense about?" Ming and the eldest princess really didn't expect that Yu Xijiao would be so courageous to refute themselves in front of the two palaces.
"Princess Minghe, the grudge between you and your grandmother has nothing to do with me, but why do you think it's my business when Princess Mingqing is also speaking? Is it possible that you have some prejudice against my grandmother and me? Or is it you?
Do you believe in Princess Mingqing even more, and think that everything Princess Mingqing says is true, and everything I say is false?"
Yu Xijiao said calmly: "Even if you want to convict me, you have to wait for me to finish the matter, right?"
Princess Minghe choked for a moment. If the Queen Mother and the Empress were not here, she would have wanted to tear Yu Xijiao's mouth apart. This girl was really difficult to deal with. No wonder her granddaughter would be defeated and cry like that.
"Okay, tell me." Princess Minghe gritted her teeth. She was here to overpower Yu Xijiao today.
"Today I entered the palace to thank the Queen Mother. After spending some time with the Queen Mother, Princess Mingqing invited me to go to the back and walk to the pavilion. County Princess Xu was already waiting there. When I saw County Princess Xu, I wanted to leave.
, Princess Mingqing kept holding me back and refused to let me go, and then King Duan and Prince Qi came over."
Yu Xijiao said calmly: "I really don't know what this matter has to do with me? Why did Princess Ming and Dachang think it was my problem and that I bullied County Master Xu?"
The black and white eyes blinked, and Yu Xijiao asked in confusion.
Princess Minghe looked startled and looked at Zhang Wanyin subconsciously: "Princess Mingqing, is this true?"
"This... almost." Zhang Wanyin said vaguely.
"Princess Mingqing, yes means yes, no means no. If you continue to be so vague, will Princess Ming and Princess think you are the County Princess Xu whom I bullied?" Yu Xijiao smiled slightly and said softly.
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Wanyin's face for a while. Zhang Wanyin's face turned red. Unexpectedly, Yu Xijiao really dared to say that. Isn't she afraid of the Queen Mother's punishment?
"Princess Mingqing, you are wrong to be a matchmaker for your cousin." Before Zhang Wanyin could counterattack, Feng Yu spoke lazily and glanced at Feng Lanxiu maliciously.
Feng Lanxiu immediately had a bad feeling, and was about to deny it, but heard him continue, "My cousin also likes beautiful women, and he is not willing to marry such an ugly one."
Feng Lanxiu's mouth was dry and he couldn't even speak for a moment. His eyes met the fierce eyes of Ming and the eldest princess. He quickly reacted and stood up and bowed his hands to Ming and the eldest princess: "Aunt, Xiao Wang
I didn’t say that County Master Xu was not good, Xiao Wang just..."
"Didn't my cousin just say that he won't marry ugly girls? Is it possible that he will agree to County Master Xu's entry into Prince Rui's Mansion now?" Feng Yu lazily interrupted Feng Lanxiu's excuse and gently touched his finger on the chair rail.
After playing the ball, he said with emotion, "My cousin has really found a good princess. I have never seen such a generous princess before."
Zhang Wanyin's face turned red, but she couldn't utter a single word. She was anxious and anxious, and looked at Feng Lanxiu anxiously. The only one who could speak for her at the moment was Feng Lanxiu himself.
"Brother Yu, stop fooling around." Feng Lanxiu scolded him in a low voice.
"Eldest cousin, I'm really not messing around." Feng Yu spread his hands and teased helplessly, "Eldest cousin thinks it's ugly, and I think it's ugly too. It's just that Princess Mingqing thinks it's okay, so you can just accept it."
"Brother Yu..."
"The Queen Mother, they... how can they say that about Jiao'er? Jiao'er has a very beautiful face and is one of the few beauties in the capital. She has been good-looking since she was a child, but His Highness Prince Duan and Prince Qi said so... This is not the case.
How can Jiaoer meet people? No wonder Jiaoer committed suicide by throwing herself into a trap. How can a good daughter's family afford to be called ugly?"
After Ming and the eldest princess were stunned for a moment, they wiped away tears again, "The Queen Mother, please let Jiaoer make the decision. How will Jiaoer... get married from now on?"
Is this relying on force? The technique is so familiar, and it doesn’t look like it’s the first time she’s done it. Her aunt must have been forced to get married because she was so crowded back then, but today is different from the past. She wants to see it.
Princess Ming and the eldest daughter, how can you perform this drama today?
Want to get married? It’s not impossible...
"Okay, okay, let's talk nicely first." Seeing that Ming and the eldest princess were arguing again, the Queen Mother had a headache. She looked at Feng Lanxiu, then at Feng Yu, and felt her head pounding. This one and two
There is no such thing as peace of mind. Wanyin usually seems to be a smart person, so why did she get involved in such a thing.
Princess Ming and the eldest daughter are not unreasonable, and they will try to be reasonable when they are not being reasonable, not to mention that Xu Anjiao is still reasonable in this matter.
"Eldest Princess, please don't cry, and Imperial Grandmother, don't be anxious. There is a way for your grandson to use." Feng Yu responded proactively.
Zhang Wanyin suddenly thought of something, and her face changed drastically...
