Chapter 112

Prime Minister Xia's face turned green, and he said sharply to Madam Linglong, "Aren't you going to pull her away?"

Mrs. Linglong hurriedly left the table and rushed out, holding Xia Wan'er with one hand, "Wan'er, don't mess around."

Xia Wan'er turned around, only to realize that everyone was looking at her. She knew that she had lost her composure, but then she remembered that she had been married to the crown prince, and that she was the future crown prince's concubine, so she was qualified to speak for the crown prince.

So, she hurried back to the palace, looked up at Murong Jie and said, "My lord, although the crown prince dispatches troops privately, as a crown prince, doesn't he have the right to mobilize a thousand soldiers and horses? Sooner or later, this country will be bound by His Highness the crown prince." Yes, the lord is only acting as the supervisor and regent of the country. The emperor gave you power, not for you to abuse it to avenge your own personal revenge. Today, beating the prince of the dynasty in front of the rolling sticks of many princes and ministers, it is an insult to the state of the country if it is spread., Empress, you Say it?"

Xia Wan'er's words caused an uproar, and some even thought she was crazy? Didn't you hear Mr. Bao's decree just now? The regent has the power to abolish the prince, but he was beaten with a stick because he did violate the military law by mobilizing troops without permission.

No, this is all secondary, even if she is a woman who doesn't understand this, but in front of so many princes and ministers, she said that Murong Jie used lynching to avenge her personal revenge, is she really crazy? Did she know that the person sitting on that high seat was the regent of the dynasty?

Moreover, she dragged the queen into the water, did she really think it was a common enemy?

She is the second lady of the Xiangfu, the tutor of the Xiangfu...

The queen's face also sank. She didn't like Xia Wan'er in the first place, but now even though Xia Wan'er spoke out to protect the crown prince, she was extremely stupid. After reading the imperial decree, she accused Murong Jie of abusing lynching. All princes and ministers, is it the fault of the crown prince?

Prime Minister Xia's face was filled with embarrassment, and before Murong Jie could say anything, he hastily pleaded guilty, "My lord, my daughter is young and ignorant, talking nonsense, please forgive her magnanimously."

Murong Jie didn't appear very angry, but just looked at the queen and asked indifferently: "Queen, do you think what the future crown princess said makes sense?"

Xia Wan'er looked at the queen expectantly. The queen would be very happy to see that she loved the prince so much.

However, she saw the queen's vicious gaze, which was as cold as a sharp knife.

She looked stagnant, a little overwhelmed.

Murong Jie saw that the queen was silent, so he didn't intend to let her go, and continued to ask: "I heard that the second young lady is about to marry the prince. It is the queen's will. The queen is the prince's biological mother and has the right to decide the prince's marriage. But, are you sure?" Is it the second lady? Let the king and the queen mother consider this matter before discussing it."

As soon as this remark came out, there was silence in the audience, and the noble ladies who had been jealous of Xia Wan'er just now looked at her gloatingly. The regent probably meant to ask the empress dowager to abolish the queen, right?

Doesn't that mean that Xia Wan'er can no longer become the crown princess?

Mrs. Linglong heard this, the blood on her face faded inch by inch, and she said in amazement: "How is this possible? The decree has already been made, and the prince also said that the empress has the right to decide the prince's marriage."

Murong Jie turned his head to look at the queen, "Isn't the queen going to say something? I find this Mrs. Xiangfu very interesting."

Prince Li stood up and said, "Lao Qi, this is not the wife of the Xiangfu."

This reminder seemed to be a humiliation, to humiliate Mrs. Linglong and Xia Wan'er, and some female relatives covered their mouths and snickered.

Concubine Yi, who hadn't spoken all night, looked at Yuan Shi, and suddenly said: "Mrs. Xia, as a wife, you are willing to sit on an equal footing with concubines. You are such a strange woman. Why don't you tell everyone how you tolerated it?" ?”

These words are to inform everyone that the Xia Wan'er that the crown prince is going to marry is a concubine, born of a concubine.

Of course, many people knew this, but it was well known that Prime Minister Xia doted on concubines, but no one pointed it out in person.

The purpose of Yifei's breaking point this time is really weird.

Everyone is looking forward to Yuan Shi's answer, because no matter how many years have passed, Yuan Shi is still the focus of everyone's eyes, and her marriage with Prime Minister Xia is even more curious for everyone.

Yuan didn't expect that Xia Wan'er's nonsense would make Concubine Yi point the finger at her, but she didn't appear sullen, she just stood up and bowed slightly to Concubine Yi, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Ms. Yi Concubine, there is no such thing as tolerance. The concubine and the Chen family don't see each other once a year."

Xia Cheng was extremely angry at Yuan Shi's answer, his face was livid with anger, even the people present were very surprised by Yuan Shi's answer, maybe there is a better answer, but obviously this answer makes people feel better, If we don't see each other once a year, doesn't that mean that Mrs. Linglong doesn't need to greet her?

Concubine Yi sneered, "I don't see you once a year? It's really strange. Is it possible that as a concubine, you don't need to greet the mistress? What kind of mistress' status is this? You are a justifiable Mrs. Xiangye, such a day , how do you go on?"

Yuan Shi said: "The minister's wife lives in secluded places and rarely sees strangers, so these years, she only gets along with her daughter and son, and the days are happy."

What a stranger, what a happy life with my daughter, what a faint sentence, it was like slapping Prime Minister Xia and Mrs. Linglong in the face.

Great Zhou is a country that emphasizes etiquette, and the mistress and concubines should have a clear hierarchy. As the prime minister of Great Zhou, the status and priorities in the family are messed up. Why not make people laugh?

Even Murong Zhuangzhuang, who was so excited and wept beside Murong Jie after seeing Murong Jie's appearance, couldn't help saying: "This Xiangfu is really a strange existence, the mistress is not the mistress, and the concubine is not the concubine." , Xiangye's way of running the family is very strange."

Princess Dachang's sarcasm made many people in the room laugh out loud, and the laughter pierced Prime Minister Xia's chest like a sharp sword.

Zian looked at Yuan Shi and saw that she looked calm, but her eyes were still a little embarrassed. To disclose her status and situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion would be a humiliation to a person like her with strong self-esteem.

But Yifei's question, no matter how she answered it, would not be appropriate, because her position in the prime minister's mansion was originally inappropriate.

She could only answer calmly like this, and she was unwilling to lie and whitewash the peace, saying that she and Mrs. Linglong were as close as sisters.

She disdains!

The people in the palace seemed to have forgotten that His Highness the Crown Prince was being tortured outside. Naturally, the screams of the Crown Prince also disappeared. He, who had never suffered any grievances or sufferings, passed out after being beaten with ten sticks.

No matter how stupid Xia Wan'er was, she knew the danger was approaching, but she did not believe that the regent could overthrow the Queen's order.

She believes that as long as she continues to please the queen, her status as a princess will be stabilized.

So, enduring everyone's sneering gazes, she knelt down in front of the queen, choked up and said, "Your Majesty, the names of your servants and Your Highness have been decided, and your daughters love His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, knowing that he was wronged, please ask your Majesty the Empress The courtiers are allowed to stay in the palace and take care of His Highness until His Highness recovers from his injuries."
