No one could fail to hear the irony in Mrs. Huang’s words!
Because Xiaofeng's mother was a commoner, she had been ostracized by the old lady. She even kicked them out of the palace that year. She was very prejudiced against Xiaofeng, who had been "living" in the palace, and made trouble for him everywhere.
, didn't give him a good look, if it weren't for the king's love and care, he would probably have been driven away by her when he was a child.
Mrs. Huang's idea is that if she can take this opportunity to vent her anger verbally and persuade the king to transfer Xiaofeng to Qianyu Island, then she will have one less powerful enemy to help Xuanyuan Leng deal with in the palace.
.
As soon as Zakir heard what Mrs. Huang said, he immediately beamed with joy. Guli glanced at Xiaofeng. He was still eating carelessly, as if what happened in front of him had nothing to do with him. She felt anxious and hateful, and unconsciously turned her gaze again.
He turned to Zhong Yuxi, who kept his head lowered.
Zhong Yuxi felt a greasy layer of cold sweat on her palms, and she also felt heartache.
Because his mother was a commoner, she would be looked down upon by others. She could imagine how much suffering he suffered when he was a child. If it weren't for his extraordinary wisdom and strength, he would never be able to live in the palace like stepping on a swamp every day.
place to survive.
Mrs. Huang's words plunged everyone into silence, until the king smiled. He turned his eyes to Xiaofeng and asked softly: "Old Liu, what do you mean?"
Xiaofeng finally slowly put down the tableware at this time, with a calm look on his face.
"At the beginning of next month, His Majesty and I are going to visit the Cherry Country. Next month is the royal family's 50th anniversary celebration. I think I don't have time to think about the love between my children yet. Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince is not married yet, so where is the turn?
Fuck me?"
A few simple words immediately silenced everyone. From the perspective of state affairs, it is understandable that he is busy with business. From the perspective of the prince, the prince is the first among the princes, and the prince's marriage should also be the first among the princes. He
Putting the reason on the prince, he immediately dismissed it completely. Even the old lady Huang couldn't say anything at this time and could only sit there and sulk.
Zakir laughed twice and said, "Your Highness, the Sixth Highness, is absolutely right. I was the one who was abrupt."
The king smiled politely and said, "If Mayor Zakir has nothing urgent, please stay here for a few more days and I will send someone to take you around."
Zakir immediately agreed happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
And Gu Li beside him had a bright spring smile on her face, but her heart was already turbulent.
She placed all the responsibility on Zhong Yuxi, thinking that she had robbed the man she liked. Seeing that the atmosphere was calm, she suddenly looked at Zhong Yuxi and said, "Isn't that Miss Zhong?"
Zhong Yuxi raised her head, wondering why she suddenly called her.
Gu Li chuckled, "Your Majesty, Miss Zhong is really courageous. She was taken as a hostage and was able to escape after being held for such a long time. It's really admirable."
She deliberately emphasized the words "such a long time". Of course, everyone knew in their hearts that Zhong Yuxi was taken away by Jin Yaotai and locked up in the camp. At that time, she and Jin Yaotai were the only two people. What happened?
You can only rely on yourself to think about it.
The old lady Huang's face immediately showed a look of disgust, and she said to the king: "The maids in this palace can tolerate people who have to be clean. King, you'd better investigate clearly, so as not to bring shame to our royal family."
"Grandma Huang, no." Liu Jin immediately stood up and retorted, "It's not what you think."
Zhong Yuxi hurriedly shook her head at him.
"Lao Qi, sit down for me." Mrs. Huang said sternly.
Liu Jin was very unconvinced and wanted to say something else, but Xiaofeng had already pulled him to sit down.
However, Xiaofeng spoke slowly and gradually raised his voice: "Your Majesty, if we want to talk about this matter, then your maid was not afraid of danger and exchanged her own safety for the lives of twenty-three guards and the prince's maid. This
In terms of merit, should it be rewarded or not?"
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on the king. He smiled and said, "Of course I want to reward you. Yu Xi, come here."
Zhong Yuxi hurried over and said, "Your Majesty."
"From now on, Yu Xi will be promoted to the title of chief maid and will be in charge of all the maids and guards in Cuihua Palace."
"Your Majesty..." Zhong Yuxi was flattered for a moment and froze there.
"Zhong Yuxi, you have been promoted, why don't you thank your majesty quickly?" Liu Jin was even happier than she was, and reminded him happily.
Zhong Yuxi came to her senses and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Yu Xi will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust."
"Zhong Yuxi, congratulations." Xuanyuan Ye looked at her leisurely and said.
Several princes congratulated Zhong Yuxi one after another. The tense and awkward atmosphere just now suddenly became lively. Gu Li, who originally wanted to see Zhong Yuxi embarrassed, showed a hypocritical smile. She did not expect that not only the sixth prince was protecting Zhong Yuxi,
Even the Crown Prince, His Royal Highnesses Seventh and Four Highnesses treated her like a treasure, and the jealousy in their hearts exploded quickly like an inflated hot air balloon.
After the dinner, Zakir and Guli were arranged in the guest palace. Not long after Guli entered the room, guests arrived.
The beautiful woman standing at the door is the future Crown Princess Charman who was sitting next to the Crown Prince at the banquet today.
"Miss Xia." Gu Li didn't know why she came, so she let her into the room suspiciously: "Please come in."
Xia Man smiled softly, walked to the sofa and sat down.
There was a faint scent of sandalwood in the room, which mixed with the strong scent of perfume on both of them, and the smell immediately became complex.
"Miss Gu Li, let me be frank. You, like me, dislike Zhong Yuxi." Xia Man leaned on the sofa with an elegant posture and brushed the broken hair in front of her forehead.
Gu Li smiled and did not comment. Her intuition told her that the woman in front of her was not a cheap person, so she had better wait and see what she said.
"But you have also seen what happened today. She is the king's favorite maid, and several of his highnesses have unusual feelings for her. Therefore, if you want to deal with her, now is not the time to do it."
Gu Li couldn't help but ask: "Do you have any idea?"
Xia Man chuckled: "After the Chinese Valentine's Day, that is, next month, the king and His Highness Sixth Prince will visit Ying Kingdom, and the prince must also leave the palace. At that time, no one can protect her if you deal with her again.
.”
"But by then, I had already left."
"You can request to spend Chinese Valentine's Day here, and His Majesty will agree."
A sneer escaped from the corner of Gu Li's mouth: "Are you sure?"
Xia Man nodded: "Yes."
"Okay, then it's settled."
The two women looked at each other and smiled, as if they saw the glimmer of victory in each other's eyes.
