Chapter 25 Chapter 25 The princess said that she loves Xiao Shaoqing!
Shen Cangzhu just applied what he learned, thinking that no matter what Chu Xingchen thought, now that she was like this, he would coax her a little.
Little did he know that if his heart showed out, it would be a critical blow to Chu Xingchen.
Not to mention Shen Cangzhu's appearance and temperament, his hands are also slender and white, and they are absolutely the best among men's fingers.
A collection of handsome people, beautiful hands and beautiful subwoofers will give you a compliment and compliments, making you want to go to heaven.
Although it's not your favorite celebrity comparing your feelings to yours, the feeling is similar.
Chu Xingchen screamed crazily in his heart and was speechless for a while.
"Am I right?" Seeing that Chu Xingchen's reaction was a little strange, Shen Cangzhu looked at it.
"Yes, yes." Chu Xingchen said hurriedly.
"That's good." Shen Cangzhu smiled and retracted his hand, because Chu Xingchen looked at his hand and curled his fingers uncomfortably in his sleeve.
Chu Xingchen nodded, feeling pained and happy at the same time. The handsome guy was comparing his feelings to you. It was not that great, but the handsome guy was just praising you for your awesomeness.
Late winter looked at the time and winked at Chu Xingchen. Chu Xingchen remembered that he had something else to do, "Shen Zongjun, I have to go to Uncle Zhongyong's house to celebrate his birthday. I have to leave first. I'll talk to you next time."
"Your Highness, walk slowly."
Chu Xingchen took two steps and suddenly turned around, "Shen Zongjun, do you need me to bring you something?"
Shen Cangzhu looked puzzled, and Chu Xingchen hurriedly explained, "Am I leaving the palace now? I can buy it for you whatever you want."
Everyone is a team. When she goes out on the street, if Shen Cangzhu wants anything, she can help bring it to him.
Shen Cangzhu looked at Chu Xingchen's shining eyes and swallowed back the words he wanted to refuse directly. To be honest, "I can't think of anything at the moment."
"Then I'll help you take a look and buy something suitable for you."
There was a delay at Shen Cangzhu's place, which caused Chu Xingchen to come out of the palace a little later than scheduled. However, she is the representative of the Queen, so she can just appear as a guest at the finale and doesn't care if it is a little later.
I met Uncle Fan and congratulated the old lady on her birthday. Everything was going well. Unexpectedly, on the way to the banquet, I heard someone laughing at Xiao Wang.
At first, Chu Xingchen didn't even react and walked over. It wasn't until the man mocked him that even if he became a young minister, he wouldn't be doing the job of a housekeeper that a woman would do, he suddenly stopped.
The attendant who led the way respectfully turned red with anxiety and coughed twice, hoping that the few people behind the bamboo would stop hearing it, but they ended up talking even more happily.
"For a concubine, being able to enter the palace is already a blessing that he has cultivated for eight lifetimes."
"No, even though he is disliked by the concubine and may never be able to get close to the concubine for the rest of his life, it can be regarded as a compliment to him based on his status."
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear and clear voice suddenly answered, like water and bluestone, making people's eyes light up.
"How come I don't know that I dislike Xiao Shaoqing?"
The voice was pleasant, but the words he spoke made the expressions of the people who were joking change greatly. They turned around in disbelief and saw the woman standing behind them.
Wearing a lavender cloak, he is tall and has an insignificant appearance, but he is also majestic and imposing, making people dare not look directly at him.
This woman was familiar yet unfamiliar. Several people were stunned for a few seconds before they suddenly realized that this person was the Crown Princess, the real mistress they had just mentioned.
"I have met Your Highness." The person who was talking behind his back was caught. Several people broke out in cold sweat and hurriedly offered their condolences and excuses.
The young man in yellow robe who was standing next to him, and although he didn't say anything but looked happy when he heard it, was stunned for a moment, and waited for a moment before he bowed and apologized. His face was full of disbelief, and he didn't know how things turned out like this.
Chu Xingchen glanced at him casually, but didn't pay much attention to it and didn't call out, "Which of your eyes could tell that I dislike Xiao Shaoqing? I was afraid of neglecting him, so I didn't dare to be casual. Why did it change the taste in your mouth?
?”
"Also, how can you ridicule Young Master Donggong?"
Although she and Xiao Wang are not a real couple, they are now people from the East Palace. She is here to protect her people. As long as they are in the East Palace for a day, she will protect them and never allow them to be treated lightly.
"It was us who said the wrong things without restraint. We will never dare to do so again. Please forgive us, Your Highness."
Several people were sweating profusely and hurriedly apologized. Maybe they had a good attitude in admitting their mistakes, so the princess left without mercy.
After the Crown Princess left, several people breathed a sigh of relief. After standing up, they all looked at the yellow-robed young master who had been silent all this time. Dissatisfaction and annoyance flashed across their faces. They only deliberately said Xiao Wang in order to please the legitimate son of the Xiao family.
I didn't expect that the concubine would catch me in the act, and she even said such words.
"My concubine protects Xiao Shaoqing like that. She obviously has him at the forefront of her heart. I don't know who spread such outrageous rumors."
"Who else could it be, but some people who feel superior to others because of their direct ancestry?"
"It doesn't matter if you are a concubine. If you are favored by the Crown Princess, if there is a man and a woman, some of the concubines will have to kneel down and salute."
They mocked a few times, and when they saw that the yellow-robed young master's face was whiter than theirs and that he had suffered a greater blow than theirs, they were satisfied and left together.
Xiao Cheng, the young master in yellow robe, almost wanted to vomit blood when he heard what they said, but he couldn't say anything to refute, because he heard it with his own ears and saw it with his own eyes.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it, he wouldn't have believed that the Crown Princess would defend Xiao Wang, that concubine, but no matter how much he couldn't believe it, everything happened before his eyes.
Looking at the direction Chu Xingchen was leaving, Xiao Cheng's face turned green and white. Why did the princess want to defend Xiao Wang? This is completely different from before!
Moreover, why does he feel that the Crown Princess is different from before? She is still the same person, but she feels completely different. If the Crown Princess was like this back then, he would not lose her place to Xiao Wang...
The yellow-robed young master gritted his teeth and followed Chu Xingchen's direction.
Chu Xingchen was a little unhappy at the moment, "Why are they so boring? All the grown men are talking about people behind their backs."
"Your Highness, they may be belittling Xiao Shaoqing in order to please Xiao Chengcai, the eldest son of the Xiao family. Originally, the Xiao family decided that the legitimate son Xiao Cheng would enter the palace, but later it was changed to Xiao Shaoqing."
Chu Xingchen stopped suddenly, "What?" Xiao Wang turned out to be a 'substitute'?
"Your Highness, don't you know? My servant has heard something. It is said that because you fell in love with Xie Shijun and wanted to make him your royal husband, Young Master Xiao was not happy, so he asked Xiao Shaoqing to come instead."
In fact, it’s easy to understand. Not only did Young Master Xiao’s identity mean that he couldn’t get an imperial husband, but the imperial concubine also talked about being a couple for the rest of her life, feeling that there was no future, and finally regretted it and replaced her with Xiao Wang.
Chu Xingchen frowned, "So one of them just now was Mr. Xiao?"
"Yes, that's the young man in yellow robe."
"I didn't pay attention." Chu Xingchen pursed his lips, "Isn't Xiao Shaoqing not taken seriously at home?" Otherwise, how could he be easily substituted for marriage? Generally, in substitution marriage stories, only those who are not favored will be sacrificed as pawns.
