Sheng Xuan opened his mouth and everyone's attention was attracted.
The fourth prince, who had never looked directly at Xie Mingxi, also glanced over. When he saw Xie Mingxi's beautiful face clearly, he paused for a moment.
There is no shortage of beauties in the palace, including those who are fat and thin, enchanting and charming.
Queen Yu, who is over forty years old, has an alluring appearance. Even though she has passed the prime of her appearance, she is still charming.
The second prince’s biological mother, Concubine Xian, the third prince’s biological mother, Concubine Shu, the fifth prince’s biological mother, Concubine Jing, he and the eighth prince’s biological mother, Concubine Li, were all rare beauties. The sixth princess and the seventh prince’s biological mother, Concubine Mei, were all beautiful in appearance. 9
The prince’s biological mother, Concubine Duan, was young and charming.
He has no special feeling about the beauty or ugliness of women.
Just like Li Xiangru, in his eyes, like all girls, there is nothing worthy of his attention.
This concubine of the Xie family has always been silent and not attracting attention. Unexpectedly, she looks so beautiful...
What is coming is coming, and there is no way to hide it.
Xie Mingxi calmed down and raised her head with a smile: "I injured my wrist a few days ago. I can't play today. I really don't have the face to say anything."
The voice is gentle and particularly pleasant.
The fourth prince looked away calmly.
…
Sheng Xuan asked with concern: "Why did you injure your wrist for no reason? Is the injury serious? In a few days, there will be the entrance exam for Lianchi Academy. Will it have any impact on the exam?"
What girl would not be moved by such gentle and considerate inquiry?
Xie Mingxi's eyes met Sheng Xuanyun's gentle black eyes full of concern, and she smiled faintly: "Thank you, Mr. Sheng, for caring. It's just a minor injury, nothing serious!"
Shengxuan's special "concern" for Xie Mingxi fell in the eyes of everyone, and it had a different meaning.
Li Mo glanced at Sheng Xuan, half joking, half joking: "In the past, I only heard that you have a cousin from the Xie family. Today, I saw it with my own eyes, and I know that you care so much about your cousin."
Xie Yunxi, the “real” cousin, is very angry!
She is Shengxuan’s direct cousin!
Xie Mingxi is the daughter of Aunt Ding and has no blood relationship with the Sheng family. How can she be considered a cousin?
However, Sheng Xuan was particularly kind to Xie Mingxi, even more so than her direct cousin. Even Li Mo had a misunderstanding because of this...
Sheng Jinyue's "explanation" sounded at the right time: "Master Li has misunderstood. This is Yun Xi's cousin! The Xie family cousin you mentioned is from my uncle's concubine."
Li Mo raised his eyebrows and said something like a smile but not a smile.
As the legitimate son and daughter of the family, she was born one step ahead of the children of common concubines. She was respected by her elders, loved by her parents, and had the upper hand in everything from food, clothing, housing, transportation, and education.
The young men and women here are all direct descendants of their families. Naturally, they look down upon the mere concubines of the Xie family.
Xie Mingxi responded sternly: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is here, Cousin Jinyue should be careful about what she says. How can I just say what I say as a concubine?"
Sheng Jinyue: "..."
Fourth Prince: "..."
Everyone: "..."
The fourth prince's expression turned cold, with a hint of displeasure.
Empress Yu of the Zhonggong Palace was the main wife of Emperor Jianwen. Although Concubine Li was born in a famous family and was quite favored, in terms of status, she was just a concubine! However, the Empress of the Zhonggong Palace had no children, and the princes of the Tian Family were all commoners. No one mentioned this level on weekdays.
.
Sheng Jinyue had no such intention at first, but after being "reminded" by Xie Mingxi, she became "unreasonable".
Sheng Jinyue panicked and explained hurriedly: "Brother Four Emperors, don't be upset! What I just said was cousin Mingxi, and I had no intention of insinuating Brother Four Emperors..."
"Yes!" Xie Mingxi responded understandingly: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has a noble status, how can he be compared with me, a concubine. Cousin Jinyue has no such intention!"
The fourth prince always had a grudge against the word "concubine" and was most afraid of others mentioning it.
Sure enough, when he heard the word "concubine", the fourth prince's brows moved again.
Sheng Jinyue: "..."
Sheng Jinyue felt angry and anxious, and couldn't find the right words to explain for a while, and her pretty face turned red from holding back.
Li Mo slightly raised his eyebrows in surprise, but his contempt disappeared.
This Xie Mingxi, although young, has quick thinking and sharp words, which should not be underestimated.
Sheng Xuan coughed to smooth things over: "Jin Yue has a reckless temper and careless words. Please calm down, Your Highness!"
The fourth prince and Sheng Xuan are both cousins and classmates. Even if they are unhappy, they still have to give Sheng Xuan some face. Hearing this, he twitched his lips and said, "It's just a joke, no need to worry about it."
Sheng Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Sheng Jinyue would get into trouble soon, so he immediately said: "Your Highness has been here for a long time, why not go to the study to sit for a while. I have recently obtained some unique copies of ancient books, please appreciate them by Your Highness."
Lu Chi liked ancient books the most. Hearing this, he immediately laughed and said: "There is an only copy! You must go and appreciate it, don't miss it!"
The fourth prince, whose handsome face was covered with frost, softened a bit and stood up: "I'll go now."
Sheng Xuan nodded with a smile and turned to wink at Sheng Jinyue. Sheng Jinyue finally came to her senses and hurriedly saluted: "Best farewell to Brother Four Emperors."
All the girls were filled with joy and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness the Fourth Prince."
The fourth prince responded casually and walked away without looking at anyone.
Sheng Xuan followed closely behind. Lu Chi and Li Mo were a few steps behind. Li Mo quickly turned around and gave Li Xiangru a reassuring look.
…
The fourth prince and his party finally left.
Sheng Jinyue kept bowing until the figure of the fourth prince disappeared, and then breathed a long sigh of relief. Cold sweat was dripping down her back.
Although they are both descendants of the Sheng family, they also have extremely strict levels of distinction.
Although the fourth prince is a concubine, he is the son of Emperor Jianwen. He is also a strong candidate to compete for the position of prince. If he becomes the prince in the future, he will be extremely valuable. If he does not become the prince, he will also be named a vassal king and lead the troops to guard a vassal.
land.
She can't afford to offend or provoke anyone.
Even her brother Sheng Xuan was respectful in front of the fourth prince and did not dare to act recklessly.
It's all the fault of that stinky girl Xie Mingxi!
Sheng Jinyue glared at Xie Mingxi angrily, her face slightly distorted: "Xie Mingxi! How dare you talk nonsense in front of the Fourth Emperor Brother and frame me!"
Li Xiangru's face didn't look very good either.
Today she was able to meet the fourth prince and caught his attention, and she was secretly happy. Unexpectedly, Xie Mingxi suddenly appeared and stole all her limelight with her sharp words...
"Where did Cousin Jinyue's words come from?" Xie Mingxi looked surprised: "I meant to remind you before, but how did it end up being a frame-up for you? You said the concubine's concubine yourself, how can you blame me?
On my head?"
"You..." Sheng Jinyue, furious, rushed forward with fists clenched: "See how I deal with you!"
Xie Mingxi narrowed her eyes slightly and used her right hand to secretly exert strength. In order to protect herself, she had practiced boxing and kicking for several years. She was not a master, but she was more than enough to take down Sheng Jinyue.
She wants to live a new life and live happily and comfortably.
There is no such thing as bearing humiliation or holding back.
If Sheng Jinyue wants to take action, he must beat her first!
