The air seemed to suddenly freeze at this moment, and everyone's eyes fell on the young man wearing a bamboo green straight jacket.
I only saw him giving a casual salute, turning around and leaving without even waiting for Princess Jiahe's reply.
So... rude?!
He didn't even answer the princess's words and just left with a low face?
It wasn't until his figure walked around the rockery that a few people seemed to suddenly wake up, and the crowd began to commotion.
Mrs. Wen's face was full of panic, and she quickly brought Mrs. Wen forward to apologize, "Princess, forgive me, this traitor... He has always been used to being wild outside, and he doesn't know the rules. Princess, please don't do anything for him."
The anger hurts the jade body."
Not to mention Mrs. Wen, even Mrs. Song was frightened by Wen Tingyuan's behavior.
As today's host, she must be responsible no matter what, and quickly walked to Princess Jiahe to bow and apologize.
Qiao Yuyan stared at the scene blankly, the change caught her off guard.
Prince An seemed to be unable to hold back, he chuckled lightly, and then noticed that everyone's eyes were turning to him, he coughed slightly in embarrassment, "Uh... Aunt Jiahe, this is... Zingyuan, he is that one
Temperament, just... don't care too much."
The atmosphere at this time was so tense, and his smile seemed a bit out of place.
Jiahe's good-looking brows raised slightly, and his face that was still a little angry suddenly cleared up from the rain. He showed a generous smile and said to several people who were saluting: "Why are you so nervous? I have never seen anything like this before.
The unruly person was just stunned for a moment. He is a scholar and pays attention to etiquette and rules. I am the one who said carelessly. How can I blame you?"
It was lifted lightly?
The princess said so, and everyone else was naturally happy, so they all gathered around her and went back to the small building.
Qiao Yuyan felt very tired and wanted to go back early, but she was also afraid that Zhang Lun would appear again and recognize her.
Thinking like this, I looked around, but I didn't see Qiao Yurong. Not only was she missing, Song Yuwei and many of the girls who had just been playing together were also nowhere to be seen.
"Mom, where is the second sister?" Qiao Yuyan asked in a low voice while supporting Mrs. Xu as she slowly walked upstairs.
"Eh? By the way, you've already come back, why haven't they come back yet?" Mrs. Xu also looked puzzled when she said this.
At the same time, Mrs. Song also reported this matter to Mrs. Song, "Mom, the eldest daughter of the Qiao family has come back. My daughter-in-law has just sent someone to tell them. They haven't come back yet. My daughter-in-law should go and take a look in person!"
Old Mrs. Song was talking to Princess Jiahe with two other high-status wives. When she heard her daughter-in-law's words, there was a trace of worry on her face and she nodded gently.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Mrs. Song turned around, she saw two servants running towards her in a hurry.
She quickly stepped forward, with a stern look on her usually gentle face, "You are so reckless, what are the rules?! I don't see any distinguished guests here!"
As soon as the two boys ran up to her, they quickly knelt down with a pop, "Madam, no, something big has happened! Something happened to Princess Jinghe!"
Although they were reprimanded by their mistress, the stakes were very high at this moment. The two boys were already frightened, and the movement just now caused a lot of noise when they knelt down.
The people in front also heard the noise and turned their heads one after another.
When Princess Jiahe heard this, her face paused, "What did you just say? Who happened to be in trouble?!"
Cold sweat broke out on Mrs. Song's forehead. The boy's words almost scared her out of her wits. She didn't care about etiquette at the moment, and her voice was sharper than usual, "I didn't hear the princess ask you."
What? Tell me clearly, what happened? Who happened to be in trouble?!"
"Yes...it's Princess Jinghe. She's...in the Tingtao Courtyard at the back."
Before the boy could explain clearly, Princess Jiahe stepped down the steps and went directly to the back. As she walked, she sternly ordered, "Hurry up and lead the way to the front of this palace."
Despite her age, Old Mrs. Song didn't care about being supported by others, she just speeded up her pace to catch up with the person in front.
Qiao Yuyan supported Mrs. Xu and waited until the old lady of the Qiao family came to their mother and daughter, then asked in a low voice, "Grandma, do we want to follow too?"
The old lady of the Qiao family looked a little ugly, "I don't know what happened yet. It's okay if she wasn't here just now. She saw the princess passing by and didn't say anything. If she didn't follow and serve, she didn't understand the rules, but...
"
The old lady sighed as she spoke. Although the inner courtyard of the Qiao family has always been clean, she is not someone who doesn't know the world. In fact, sometimes the things in the inner courtyard of the back house are a bit disgusting.
.
"But if it is something scandalous...is this royal scandal so easy for others to see?"
Qiao Yuyan's heart suddenly shuddered, and she suddenly thought of Zhang Lun.
Then he put this thought aside in his mind. Although Zhang Lun was despicable, lustful and inhumane.
But he is not without brains. All his brains are used for charming. He would not dare to mess with the master in the palace, even if he had 10,000 courages.
What's more, in order to please Concubine Xian, he was banned from entering and exiting the palace for a long time, so it was impossible not to know Princess Jinghe.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yuyan felt more relieved.
In any case, Princess Jinghe has no grudge against her, so if such an innocent girl encounters such behavior, it will be a very sad thing.
"You are heavy, don't push forward. Sister Yan is supporting your mother and walking behind." The old lady looked at the crowd in front of her and suddenly lowered her voice.
Qiao Yuyan agreed, then supported Xu and deliberately slowed down her pace, slowly reaching the end of the crowd.
When this group of people arrived, the courtyard was already crowded with people. Song Jingshu and Prince An, who had just walked away, were the only two standing outside the courtyard at this time.
Song Jingshu glanced at his mother, his expression was not very good, and he shook his head gently.
Princess Jiahe didn't even look at them and led the people into the courtyard.
When Qiao Yuyan supported Mrs. Xu and was about to walk in, someone grabbed her sleeve. When she raised her eyes, she found that it was Prince An.
"Mrs. Qiao is pregnant. There are so many people in the cramped house that she will inevitably lose her care. Please accompany your mother over there and sit down! If the princess really asks, I will tell you for you."
Qiao Yuyan and Mrs. Xu quickly thanked them, and Prince An accompanied them to the pavilion outside. At this moment, they didn't care about asking people to wait on them. No one had the mind to worry about whether they were hot or thirsty, they were all looking at that.
Small yard.
Qiao Yuyan's thoughts changed in her heart, she hesitated, and finally asked, "Prince An, do you know what happened inside?"
