"It's okay, it's easy." Xia Zibing picked up the jade cup and drank tea as if nothing had happened.
Qin Yuyan looked at the lake. The morning breeze was blowing slightly, and the ripples were slightly rising. It was a peaceful scene. It was a good time to visit the lake, and she was in a clear water. She looked so comfortable.
"Sister Bing, that night I left the palace for the first time and was imprisoned. Were you the one who saved me later?"
Qin Yuyan got closer to Xia Zibing, and further confirmed the faint scent of tea on Sister Bing. It was very refreshing. That was the smell that the flower picker smelled on that day. Sister Bing's identity is mysterious, it could be her
?
Xia Zibing raised her eyebrows slightly. She had just bathed and changed clothes that day. The smell on her body was indeed undisguised. And today, as a daughter, she could not hide all her body fragrance. Almost all of Xia Zibing's clothes were scented with Biluochun.
Or maybe it was the faint scent of lotus. Ever since Yun Luoqing settled here, the scent of lotus was rarely used.
But today, knowing that I couldn't hide it, I said calmly: "Are you talking about the flower-picking thief that night?"
Qin Yuyan's eyebrows froze, and she reacted again after a long time: "Uh...", then smiled, and then pouted dissatisfiedly. "Tell me, why is Sister Bing teasing me?"
Seeing Qin Yuyan's cute appearance, a lot of pressure was immediately relieved. The girl's current easy-going attitude was exactly what she wanted. It turned out that this girl was naturally so easy-going, but she just didn't show it. But sometimes, she felt that she was so easy-going.
The girl is very mature. She is born young and mature. Perhaps, all this is related to the loss of her mother when she was young, and Qin Haotian, the emperor and the feudal society. Such a girl really makes people feel a little emotional.
"Haha, who told Yan'er to look so cute?" Xia Zibing couldn't help but stroke Qin Yuyan's chin teasingly, and pursed her lips into a smile.
Qin Yuyan looked embarrassed, then smiled: "Then you've bullied me too, so I won't say thank you." Qin Yuyan raised her eyebrows, looking like she was being dishonest.
Xia Zibing was speechless and just smiled. Looking at the lake with blue waves and white mist, she suddenly felt a little tempted.
"Shall we go to the lake?"
The elves are generally refined and refined.
Qin Yuyan was shocked. Sister Bing is such a mysterious person. It is said in the world that the third lady of the Xia family is not good at playing music, chess, calligraphy or painting. She is a born waste, except for her identity as the legitimate daughter of the Xia family. She has nothing to do.
.Haha, none of these remarks are consistent with the woman in front of me.
The Xia Zibing she knew was at least not inferior to her in piano skills. She was superb in martial arts and well-read. Her beauty was unparalleled in the Leng Ye Kingdom. She was ashamed to death of Xi Shi and angry to death of Yuhuan.
I don’t know what kind of talent she has behind her. She doesn’t know.
"Okay!" Qin Yuyan came back to her senses and replied calmly.
Princess Ziluo is so arrogant and domineering that the princess usually gives her a thumbs up. If she knew that the princess asked her to go on a boat trip but disappeared, she might be furious.
"Yan'er also called her?" Xia Zibing looked at Qin Yuyan in disbelief. One of these two people was gentle and soft. The other was arrogant and arrogant. They could actually play together. It really opened her eyes. She didn't know the two.
What kind of scene will it be like when people are together? Can they really be harmonious?
Qin Yuyan narrowed her eyelashes, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes: "She is the one who is going to be late. We are playing our own game."
Xia Zibing saw Qin Yuyan's expression. Could it be that there was something unspeakable about the closeness between Qin Yuyan and Zi Luo? But Xia Zibing couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried. How could she have to choose someone she didn't like when making friends? Qin Yuyan turned around and pulled Xia Zibing
Holding hands, the two walked towards a painted boat.
Xia Zibing lowered her eyelashes and smiled, the two pools of clear water glowing brightly. I guess Ziluo is going home to recuperate now. This woman with a swollen face will never dare to go out casually. It seems that the slap was really timed. If
Otherwise, today’s cruise would be really unenjoyable.
The boat sails gently and the blue waves are flowing freely.
Qin Yuyan played the melodious sound of the piano, adding color to the beautiful scenery. Xia Zibing looked at the scenery on the lake, and the two of them had a great time.
imperial study room
The high-rise building is paved with jade. The smell of Long Yanxiang is faintly exuded from the Ruinao Golden Beast. The room is dominated by gold, and the emperor's aura is dignified.
Qin Haotian sat on the dragon chair and glanced at Lao Si who was kneeling below and Lao Ba who was standing beside him. He closed his eyes slightly, and his breathing on the tip of his nose involuntarily increased. Then, he suddenly opened his eyes.
After a long time, Qin Haotian stood up wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. The jade dragon playing with pearls was lifelike on the famous yellow dragon robe. Qin Haotian looked down at Qin Yunhong and said, "She really proposed to divorce her?"
The words were full of doubts. In Qin Haotian's eyes, as long as a man mentioned divorcing his wife, no matter how unruly a woman was, she would have to keep quiet because it was related to her own reputation. What's more, Xia Zibing's reputation was not very good to begin with.
woman.
"Yes! She also said that she doesn't care about the royal family." Qin Yunhong lowered his eyebrows and replied calmly.
He and Xia Zibing have been at odds with each other all their lives. Although this woman is gone, her Rou'er still cannot sit on the position of the principal concubine. And she is unwilling to appoint those ugly girls as the principal concubine and let them crawl on Xia Yurou's side.
On his head. Therefore, even if Xia Zibing does not take the position of Princess, it will still be vacant. And the culprit who caused all this, how can he let her get away with it.
Obviously, Qin Haotian was furious when he heard this. A little woman dared to despise the royal family. How many people wanted to be the daughter-in-law of the royal family, but this woman didn't know what to do. What's more, he was not mean to this woman.
Qin Yunchen, who had been secretly happy on the side, turned around and looked at Qin Haotian's gloomy expression. He suddenly became ashamed, yes, this crime of contempt for the royal family is not a light one.
"Father, I have met Miss Xia San several times. Although she is a bit willful at times, she is still dignified, virtuous, calm and cute. Besides, my father also has a good impression of her. She does not seem to be an ignorant person." Qin Yunchen
He stepped forward, knelt down and bowed, trying his best to excuse Xia Zibing.
And just like this, Qin Yunhong almost got angry. Although Qin Yunhong and Qin Yunchen didn't have much relationship, on the surface everything was calm. No one wanted to offend the other party, at least they had to do it on the surface. But now, in order to
A woman, Qin Yunchen openly confronted him. Damn it! Thinking of this, Qin Yunhong's knuckles tightened.
Qin Yunchen didn't care. Although Qin Yunhong was the queen's son, he was no different than a piece of trash. Normally, he was not offended just because the queen had a certain power in the court. But now, for Xia Zibing, at the moment when he spoke for her
I didn't even think about anything.
However, speaking of it, he was sincerely grateful to this idiot for mistaking the pearl for a fish eye, otherwise he would never have had the chance.
Qin Haotian looked at the whole country and saw more or less what he was thinking about his two sons. If Qin Yunhong hadn't looked at the queen's face, he would never have taken this son seriously. As for Qin Yunchen, he would have taken this son seriously.
Impenetrable. Qin Haotian's generous lips were slightly curved, with a faint outline.
"I would like to know what is going on." Qin Haotian calmly sat back on the dragon throne.
Qin Yunchen understood what Qin Haotian meant and said to the palace slave on the side: "Go and invite Miss Xia San." He certainly didn't want to call her the Fourth Princess anymore. This title had given him a headache for a long time.
Today, Miss Xia San was invited to the palace by the Thirteenth Princess as a guest. The masters had no time to ask, but many of the slaves knew it very well. They accepted the order without asking any more questions.
Yunxie Lake
A boat floated leisurely, and Xia Zibing stared at the morning lake scenery. She felt much happier for a moment. When the melodious sound of the piano ended, Xia Zibing didn't know at all. In this situation, silence is really better than sound at this time.
"Sister Bing, are you tired? Go back and take a rest?" Qin Yuyan stood up and sat opposite Xia Zibing.
"It's up to you." Xia Zibing smiled, "It's just that I never understand. Since you don't like that Zi Luo, why do you want to be so close to her?"
Qin Yuyan's eyes were dull, looking at the scenery on the lake, she sighed slightly: "Sister Bing doesn't know something. Although the patron king is old, he is also one of the four major families, and he conquered half of Leng Ye Kingdom.
My father asked me to have a good relationship with Ziluo, which is also a way to get closer."
After hearing this, Xia Zibing was completely speechless about Qin Haotian. Haha, they all said that marriage contracts could be related to politics. The old emperor even controlled his daughter's friends. It turned out that this could be used, which really opened her eyes.
"Your father is really good at scheming." Xia Zibing smiled, but the smile froze on her lips.
She found that this child was really pitiful.
Qin Yuyan lowered her eyelashes and did not answer, but gave a faint wry smile. Perhaps she has gotten used to it after so many years. In this royal family, those who are not favored are allowed to be bullied. But those who are favored are also used ten times and a hundred times. In this kind of use
Accepting all the worship and prestige. But who understands the pain involved?
"Yan'er, I think it's more cordial for best friends to call each other by their first names. I hope you can call me Zi Bing, or Bing'er."
Xia Zibing changed the topic and passed over Qin Yuyan's sadness without leaving any trace.
"Well... Bing'er." Qin Yuyan called with difficulty, but in an instant, she smiled wildly, "Bing'er, it's great to be with you."
That kind of happiness comes from the heart. You can get your own piece of sky through feudalism.
"Princess, the eighth master asked the third lady to go to the royal study room to meet the saint."
The two of them were having a great time, when Yun Xieting's maid shouted anxiously.
Qin Yuyan sighed slightly: "Bing'er, it must be about the divorce letter. Do you want me to go with you?" Qin Yuyan's eyebrows frowned. She knew her father's temper well. Such things are not easy to handle.
"It's okay, don't worry. I'm tired after playing for so long. Let's go back and have a rest." Xia Zibing comforted Qin Yuyan with a smile as she docked the boat.
Actually, she has no idea about this matter. Qin Haotian is a cunning guy, and he won't get any good results if he gets angry. She doesn't know why. But, since she has done it, she always needs to face what she should face.
"Okay!" Qin Yuyan replied solemnly. Thinking that she wouldn't be able to help much if she left, she stopped trying.
imperial study room
As soon as Xia Zibing entered, she felt a sense of solemnity. It was so solemn and solemn that only her footsteps could be heard. Xia Zibing raised her eyes and looked up. The first person on the left was Qin Yunhong. As soon as Xia Zibing's expressions met, she saw Qin Yunhong's
A fleeting feeling of pride. Well, pride. Xia Zibing ignored it.
Then, Xia Zibing looked at Qin Yunchen again. But Qin Yunchen gave him an encouraging look, as if to say, it's okay, I'll take care of it for you if something goes wrong. With Qin Yunchen's eyes as support, Xia Zibing concentrated her attention and raised her eyelashes.
Looking at Qin Haotian with a solemn expression, Yingying knelt down.
"My daughter, Xia Shi Zibing, comes to see the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."
Qin Haotian raised his eyes and looked at Xia Zibing who was kneeling on the ground, but did not ask her to get up. He said in a low voice: "At the last palace banquet, you called me father sweetly. What's the matter? You want to distance yourself from me and the royal family so quickly.
Is it related?"
I have to say that although this voice does not sound like he is angry, the words are loud and clear, which is extraordinary. He is worthy of what the king said.
Xia Zibing lowered her eyebrows, not bothering to look at Qin Haotian, and faintly said a few words: "I don't dare!"
"Since ancient times, only men have abandoned women. Since you don't dare, why did I hear the fourth child say that you despise the royal family and humiliate the royal family with a divorce letter? Is this true?" Qin Haotian's anger increased slightly.
.
Xia Zibing raised her eyelashes and looked at Qin Yunhong slightly. This man, huh, was so proud of himself. He was so clever and thought of harming him. Oh, it's really pathetic.
"Your Majesty, if you are willing, I just don't care about the fourth master. It doesn't mean you despise the royal family." Xia Zibing lowered her head slightly and replied lightly.
When Qin Yunhong heard this, he became even more excited. Haha, when he heard these words again, he was undoubtedly shooting himself in the foot. He immediately said impatiently: "Father, listen to me. I am born as a prince here.
Contempt your sons. Could it be that you despise the royal family?"
But he didn't realize that no one had any reaction to these words. Qin Yunchen stood calmly, confident that this clever guy would not let him down.
"That's enough. Father, I'm not old enough to ask you to remind me." Qin Haotian's words were obviously filled with displeasure.
"Yes!" Qin Yunhong's expression was obviously not good. For some reason, he was always not favored by his father.
After Qin Yunchen finished answering, the imperial study fell silent again. She understood that Qin Haotian, Qin Yunhong and Qin Yunchen were waiting for her to speak.
"My daughter is definitely not despising the royal family by using him as a bait as the Fourth Prince said. The reason why I asked the Prince to sign the divorce letter is entirely because she feels that the Fourth Prince is difficult to serve. She feels that she is not qualified for the position of the Fourth Princess.
"Xia Zibing said calmly.
When Qin Yunhong heard this, he was undoubtedly a little embarrassed. But he felt that speaking at this time was undoubtedly asking for trouble, so he endured it.
"Go on!" Qin Haotian said in a low voice.
"Since the last time I went to the palace to serve tea, my eldest sister Xia Yurou was beaten up by the lotus pond. I made my daughter take the blame for no reason. I admitted it." Xia Zibing paused and said, "Palace Banquet
Later, Sister Rou deployed people in my Bingyu Pavilion. She also set up a farce in Lanxin Pavilion, falsely accusing my daughter of having an affair with a man. My daughter saw through this conspiracy on the spot, and everyone in the capital knew about it.
The girl was very unconvinced at the time and investigated the whole matter. Unexpectedly, this matter was completely connived by the Fourth Prince. My sister has been demoted to the rank of Madam, but many servants in the palace still call her Princess. Seeing that the Fourth Prince loves her so much
For my sake, I didn’t care about it. But this time, I was really angry. In a fit of rage, I killed one of Sister Rou’s maids.”
Xia Zibing's expression became more and more aggrieved as she spoke: "The prince scolded my daughter for being evil-hearted, saying that he would rather marry a village woman than a virtuous concubine like my daughter. At that time, my daughter had nowhere to complain, so she had no choice but to comply with her husband's wishes and choose a husband for her.
He selected more than a dozen village girls, and originally wanted him to choose. But the prince was in a good mood, and he was convinced by them all. But after dawn, he blamed the girl for choosing someone who was too ugly. The girl thought, the girl from the mountain village,
How can she compare with the rich lady in housework? The minister was angry for a moment and felt wronged. She said that she would give up her position as the concubine and leave the Fourth Prince's Palace. She would rather stay in infamy for the rest of her life and fulfill the Fourth Prince. The Prince signed the contract without saying anything at that time.
.I didn’t expect that it would be wrong in front of the prince. Then I don’t know what to do.”
After Xia Zibing finished speaking, she gently wiped her tears with her sleeves.
Qin Haotian, on the other hand, was moved after hearing Xia Zibing's words. In this way, it was his son who was at fault. What right did he have to blame this girl?
Qin Yunhong's face was full of sullenness. At this moment, he realized that this woman had carefully planned and planned every step since she married him. It turned out that her previous timidity and weakness were all just an act.
"Since it's Fourth Prince's fault, then, is Bing'er willing to return to the Fourth Prince's Mansion? If you are willing to go back, I will definitely make the decision for you." Qin Haotian's deep and powerful voice sounded in the imperial study room that had been quiet for a long time.
In fact, smart people understand that Qin Haotian's words are just for show. In fact, it is beneficial to him if Xia Zibing does not go back. He always believes that there must be something ulterior in the Queen's insistence on Xia Zibing marrying Qin Yunhong.
's secret.
"I don't want to!" Xia Zibing's four simple words made her position clear.
But for Qin Yunhong, it was a great humiliation. When he signed the divorce letter, he was sure that Xia Zibing would beg for mercy from him. But in the end, not only did he not, but she snatched the divorce letter. This Xia Zibing was really unwilling.
Hope to stay in Siwangfu again.
"Okay, then you go down first." Qin Haotian's tone was very calm.
"Yes!" Xia Zibing responded with her eyelashes slightly fluttering.
"Chen'er, go down too!"
"My son, please retire!"
Bing'er is fine. As for Qin Yunhong, whether he lives or dies is none of his business.
In the imperial study room, the aura was even more solemn. Qin Yunhong was alone against the power of heaven and did not dare to make a single sound.
"Fourth, you brought this all on yourself." Qin Haotian glanced at Qin Yunhong lightly.
