However, he was destined to disappoint An Muxi, so Xie Qingrong wouldn't fret over such a small matter.
"Are you following I just to tell him about these trivial matters?" Xie Qingrong indifferently glanced at An Muxi, and said with extreme coldness.
An Muxi was a little surprised, and his eyes couldn't help but widen. This kind of tone and attitude was extremely similar to his own highness' usual attitude, equally cold, and similarly plain.
It was as if nothing had piqued his interest and nothing had entered his eyes.
He seemed to understand the reason why his highness would like this woman. Could it be …
Thinking about it this way, the emotions in his heart became a little agitated, and he unconsciously ignored Xie Qingrong's question.
Xie Qingrong waited for a long time, but she did not hear a reply. When she turned around and saw An Muxi's excited look, she speechlessly raised her eyebrows.
Then, he immediately left and returned to Xuanyuan Chen's side.
However, just as she walked into the banquet, she felt a strange atmosphere. Everyone was looking at her with eyes full of blame and complaint.
Hm?
What happened in the time she was gone?
Why did everyone have such strange looks in their eyes?
Just as she was about to raise her doubts, she saw the lady who was slapped twice by her, covering her pretty face with two red handprints, sitting beside Gongsun Heng and crying.
As one side shed tears, the other constantly smeared Xie Qingrong's face.
"Royal brother, you must uphold justice for An An. An'an is still a princess after all. How could he tolerate a woman humiliating him like this? "
The more he spoke, the more wronged he became. The more he spoke, the more excited he got. Tears also continued to flow from his eyes.
Xie Qingrong looked at Gongsun Anan with a helpless look. She was confused by Gongsun Anan's actions, which made him able to cry, a little confused.
Were women really made of water?
Gongsun Heng coughed lightly and asked coldly: "Crown Princess, may I ask if you were the one who did this?"
Xie Qingrong nodded, and admitted it: "The palm mark on her face, was indeed made by I. However, since Princess An An An hadn't learned anything else, she had learned a set of black art. Why didn't Princess An An An say anything? Why did the I beat up Princess An An, and in such an obvious place at that? "
How could Gongsun Anan possibly tell them the truth? However, facing Xie Qingrong's gaze and icy temperament, he nervously blinked his eyes, and tried to find a reason to lie to Gongsun Heng and Xie Qingrong with all her might.
"How would I know why you hit me? Perhaps you are jealous of my beauty. " Gongsun Anan didn't know how to refute Xie Qingrong, so he chose the most brainless explanation.
"Pfft — —" Xie Qingrong laughed softly the moment she heard Gongsun Anan's explanation. She originally thought Gongsun Anan was simple, but she didn't think she was stupid.
Gongsun Heng's face had already darkened, his entire body was releasing ice cold anger, but Gongsun Anan seemed to not be able to sense it, he still used all his strength to stick to Gongsun Heng's body, seeking comfort.
Gongsun Heng could no longer endure, and directly threw Gongsun Anan out, exposing Gongsun Anan's lies expressionlessly. "Although you are a princess of the Royal Family of Chu, this is the first time I have ever seen such a foolish princess."
Gongsun Heng's cold words had directly injured Gongsun Anan, causing him to cry even more miserably.
Merciless care for the fairer sex. In Gongsun Heng's life, they were four people who had never existed before.
Before even waiting for Gongsun Heng to make a move, Xuanyuan Chen had already stood up, standing beside Xie Qingrong and leisurely wiped his hands clean, then threw away the handkerchief after he finished wiping it.
He spat out a word, "Dirty."
The crowd burst into an uproar.
She had seen a husband who protected his wife, but she had never seen a husband who protected his wife like this. It seemed like Xuanyuan Chen and Xuanyuan Chen were really close to each other.
Actually, when they saw the look in each other's eyes, their every move was coordinated perfectly. If they didn't have any feelings for each other, the spectators wouldn't have believed it at all.
Xuanyuan Chen's low eyebrows carried a chilling coldness and killing intent as his sharp gaze shot straight at Gongsun Anan, and the corner of his mouth formed a cold smile.
He said with a chuckle, "Just who gave Princess Gongsun such confidence that she could compare her beauty to that of Princess Gongsun's consort? Don't look in the mirror and see the reality? Furthermore, the Crown Princess's wife has never been a domineering person. Who knows what she did before that? "
"I thought that Princess Gongsun wasn't even fit to carry a shoe for the Crown Prince's wife."
Xuanyuan Chen's words made Gongsun Anan so angry that his face turned red, he wanted to fight with Xuanyuan Chen, but when his gaze made contact with Xuanyuan Chen's cold gaze, his heart unconsciously trembled.
With both hands holding his trembling body and eyes lowered, he looked extremely guilty.
Although Gongsun Heng had never cared about these dirty things between brothers and sisters, this time, it had landed on his head, causing him to have a restless birthday banquet.
Gongsun Heng was truly angry, although his expression was the same, but the participants of the birthday party could clearly feel that the temperature had suddenly become colder.
A few people couldn't help hugging their arms as they muttered, "Why is it suddenly colder?"
Gongsun Heng's ice-cold eyes swept across the few ministers that were mumbling to themselves. The ministers immediately kept quiet and did not say a word.
Everyone saw Gongsun Anan being dragged away by the imperial guards with their own eyes, and understood what happened to Gongsun Anan. Offending Gongsun Heng meant the end of Gongsun Anan's good days.
Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen stood in the middle of the banquet and Xie Qingrong nodded slightly towards Gongsun Heng before saying with a smile, "Today, the I and Your Highness have come here to attend the banquet using the Crown Prince Gongsun's invitation. I didn't expect that it would cause so much trouble for the Crown Prince Gongsun."
"Someone is plotting, someone is digging a trap for I. Although I didn't receive any substantial damage, he still has some pain in his heart. For today's banquet, I and Your Highness can only accompany Crown Prince Gongsun to this point, I hope that you can forgive me. "
As he said that, as if sick and weak, he was supported out of the banquet by Xuanyuan Chen.
All of the people participating in the banquet were intelligent, they naturally knew what Xie Qingrong's words meant, and how much water there was.
But his heart was in pain?
[Crown Princess, do you dare to act a bit more like that? You don't seem to be breathing, your face is rosy, and your skin is delicate. How could such a healthy girl possibly be weak?]
Then, after Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong had said their goodbyes, Gongsun Heng swept his eyes across the room with an ice-cold gaze, and said coldly: "Dismissed."
There was no longer any need to continue with the banquet now that it had become like this.
