"Back then, this subject's daughter was fortunate enough to meet Monk Hong Yi. This hairpin was given to her by Monk Hong Yi."
"Nonsense!" Huangfu Yunqian laughed coldly: "How could a stranger like Master give you such a common thing?"
It was just that the various girls and even the young geniuses looked at Chu Qinghuan with astonishment. If they really received favor from the Monk Hong Yi, it was possible that they could obtain this treasure.
Even though the master was an outsider, he was still treated as a distinguished guest by the six nations. This gold-green cat eye hairpin wasn't really that rare.
"Young Master Shen can bear witness to this matter."
Shen Qian, who had been called out by name, seemed to have long anticipated Chu Qinghuan's plan to call for help, as she nodded: "Second Miss is extremely intelligent, and has gained the favor of Master."
Chu Qinghuan laughed when she heard this. Shen Qian was actually quite quick-witted, he did not prove it, but he did prove it again.
This sentence was extremely envious. To be able to receive the Monk Hong Yi's favor, how many people in this world could there be? Even Liu Dantong could not help but look at Chu Qinghuan twice. Chu Jinxiu, on the other hand, secretly clenched her teeth. She wanted to reveal it, but she couldn't. She really didn't expect that Shen Qian, such an arrogant and proud person, would actually speak up for that cheap girl.
"It's not black and white, what you say counts? This hairpin is obviously from the This Princess. If the Monk Hong Yi wasn't here, no one would be able to expose you even if you speak nonsense! "
"Don't speak nonsense Qian Er, Monk Hong Yi does view Miss Chu differently. I know about this too." When the First Prince said this, Huangfu Yunqian was even more infuriated. Her First Royal Brother never approached women, even she was cold and indifferent to her. Today, for such a lowly woman, she actually called herself a woman, this was too despicable!
In the face of Huangfu Yunqian's anger, Chu Qinghuan however, remained calm and composed, "This subject wishes to ask the princess if there is any imprint on the princess' hairpin."
Huangfu Yunqian was startled, could it be that the hairpin was not really her? But that was impossible. She had clearly replaced it, and she had even thrown the hairpin inside … No, the cloud had thrown him into the lake.
Huangfu Yunqian suddenly turned her head, only to see Cai Yun nodding towards her, clearly showing that she had done all that she could, she immediately calmed down, "There is no one written above This Princess's hairpin, why don't you take it down and let everyone take a look, and see who exactly is the thief that stole the hairpin!"
Xue Jinlian suddenly stood up, "Princess, even if you suspect something, you can't be so sure, right? "Little sister Qing Huan will not use Monk Hong Yi as a joke. Princess is so sure, could it be …"
Xue Jinlian wanted to say something but stopped, anyone could guess the meaning behind her words.
Unless Huangfu Yunqian had planned everything, why was she so sure that the hairpin worn by the Second Miss Chu was her?
Huangfu Yunqian looked at Chu Qinghuan with her bright eyes, as if she wished for nothing more than to turn her gaze into a knife and make a few holes on Chu Qinghuan's face.
Chu Qinghuan smiled slightly, "Are you so sure about this princess? If this hairpin is not the one for the princess, then what about the princess? "
When she said these words, First Madame immediately remembered the night when she caused a ruckus at the Zhi Lan Institution. Immediately, he felt that something was amiss, but just as she was about to remind Huangfu Yunqian, Huangfu Yunqian unexpectedly said in a cold voice, "If I wrongly accuse you, This Princess will apologize to you!"
She did not believe this stinky girl's words, she was obviously trying to use lies to deceive her. She, the Princess Pingyang of Tang Tang Tang was clever, how could he believe this stinky girl's words?
"Your subject doesn't dare, Princess, please …"
Chu Qinghuan had not even finished speaking when a Palace Maid shouted excitedly: "I've found it! If I were to return to Empress, I would have found the princess' hairpin." It was precisely the left and right Palace Maid sent by the Empress Liu to find the hairpin, who had arrived at this time of day.
Suddenly, the entire Supreme Pond was completely silent, only the heavy breathing of the Palace Maid could be heard due to his hurried footsteps.
"You found it?"
How is this possible? Huangfu Yunqian's face immediately changed. His hairpin was obviously with Chu Qinghuan, how did this Palace Maid find it? She anxiously turned her head to look for Caiyun, but unexpectedly Caiyun who was standing there just now was not there. Huangfu Yunqian was stunned.
"Hurry up and show it to the princess. Is it that hairpin of hers?" Xue Jinlian suddenly said. The smile on her face made Huangfu Yunqian feel extremely repulsive, as if he had fallen into their trap.
"There are no words on the hairpin. Eh, Sister Qing Huan's name is written on it. Is this my sister's birthdate?" Xue Jinlian was slightly surprised, she moved closer to look, and sure enough, the word "birthday" was written everywhere.
He only wanted her to apologize to this lowly girl from the countryside? Don't even think about it!
"is truly blessed, this son was worried that I would not be able to find him. If I break my promise with Queen Mother, how can I have any more face in the future?"
She snickered and walked to Empress Liu's side. How could she still remember the words she said just now about apologizing when she wronged someone?
Huangfu Yunqian had the best face, and would definitely not apologize to him. If she forced her, she would hate him for the rest of her life. Even though she didn't care, there was nothing good about making a strong enemy. There was naturally a way to make her apologize … Thousands of them.
"It's all my sister's fault, I should have said it earlier. I just wanted to be mysterious like this." Furthermore, she was wearing the same hairpin as the princess. How could this not cause a misunderstanding? Second sister, are you still not going to apologize to the princess? "
Chu Jinxiu scolded gently, but Huangfu Yunqian, who was beside Empress Liu, had a haughty look, as if she was waiting for Chu Qinghuan to kowtow and apologize to him.
What a good 'deliberately mystifying', 'inverting black and white'! Chu Qinghuan laughed coldly in her heart, but before she could say anything, someone laughed: "Your majesty, looks like Prime Minister Chu really has a way to deal with girls. In comparison, the high and mighty Miss Liu, Miss Ruo Chu from the Feng Chen Clan, is not even as humble and polite as Big Miss Chu, congratulations to Chu Xiang and all the girls!"
Immediately, Chu Jinxiu's face changed slightly, the smile on her face did not stay for a moment.
Modesty and courtesy, this was clearly scolding her for being a servant! Moreover, Liu Dantong had just enjoyed a moment of glory, but this time, she was praised to be aloof and proud, and her reputation far surpassed her own!
She was a Direct Daughter of the Prime Minister Palace, so naturally, she had status and position similar to the many beauties sitting around the table. In fact, she could be considered to be arrogant as well.
Emperor Xuanwu heard and frowned, "Qian Er, you wronged Second Miss Chu, why don't you go and apologize?"
At that moment, Huangfu Yunqian's face changed to a color palette, as though she couldn't believe that she had actually heard those words. However, even though Jun Wu Ji was saying these words, even if she was extremely unhappy, she still slowly walked in front of Chu Qinghuan and said in a bad mood: "This Princess has wronged you, and is apologizing to you."
However, Huangfu Yunqian felt that she was done apologizing, and was just about to turn around and leave when she heard Emperor Xuanwu bellowed out, "Is that how the Empress taught you the rules? Pouring the tea, I admit my mistake! "
Chu Qinghuan heard and was shocked. Emperor Xuanwu was so angry at the Queen, could it be that it was because of the dancers?
Just by saying that, Huangfu Yunqian would probably hate herself for the rest of her life. She had been Emperor Xuanwu's beloved Princess Pingyang since she was young, how could she have suffered any grievances? And this grievance, had come partly from the Royal Father who had doted on her the most.
It was all because of this slut from the countryside. If it wasn't for her, how would he have been reprimanded by the Royal Father!
Huangfu Yunqian glared fiercely at Chu Qinghuan, so much so that she almost wanted to kill Chu Qinghuan.
By the side, Chu Jinfu saw the opportunity and cleverly poured a cup of tea, passing it over, "Second Elder Sister, you have suffered." The tea had already been delivered to Huangfu Yunqian's hands. It was obvious that she was going to follow Emperor Xuanwu's orders, otherwise, her Royal Father would be in trouble.
Chu Qinghuan swept a glance over the teacup and softly said, "Princess, you must be careful, don't … "They spilled tea."
Huangfu Yunqian was about to receive the cup when she suddenly heard this sentence. With a shake of her hand, the tea in the cup spilled out.
The tea was not hot, but Huangfu Yunqian's face suddenly became ugly, and he looked at Emperor Xuanwu pitifully. Seeing that, Empress Liu could not help but feel pained: Your Majesty, is Qian Er really a beauty with golden branches or jade leaves, forget it.
However, Emperor Xuanwu's expression was solemn, "Kind mothers have many losers, and their hands are clumsy. Don't tell me you want us to teach you?"
This one sentence had actually scolded Empress Liu, causing her expression to change. The other palace concubines' expressions all changed, but they were all more surprised than happy.
Although the empress was not a loving couple, Emperor Xuanwu still gave the Empress Liu some face. He scolded her today, 'Kind mother has many failed children', could it be that he had also brought the First Prince along? Although he looked over, the First Prince's expression did not change.
However, due to the anger of the Empress Liu and Emperor Xuanwu, no one dared to show it on their face.
Huangfu Yunqian's heart was full of grievance, but today, Royal Father, who doted on her the most, actually shouted at her twice. How could she dare to have a temper of a princess?
Chu Qinghuan did not expect Emperor Xuanwu to suddenly make a move, but to be able to kill Huangfu Yunqian's pride, she was very willing. It was just that Huangfu Yunqian was bowing to him, was this really a worm of a hundred feet that did not freeze after death, and wanted to use this to destroy him?
She quickly avoided Huangfu Yunqian's bow, and casually took the tea and placed it on the table, "Princess is too serious, this subject has no manners."
Huangfu Yunqian did not expect Chu Qinghuan to react so quickly, to be supported by her in such a short time. She was instantly enraged, and wanted to fiercely throw off Chu Qinghuan's arm but did not dare to, as she still had to pretend to be a good sister with her.
"Qian Er is young, Second Miss is also a stubborn person, it was not a big deal in the first place, royal uncle should not scold Qian Er anymore, if not, how would this girl dare to court you?"
One glance was all it took for Huangfu Yunqian to know whether she was happy or not, so she quickly changed the topic, "Wushuang, Madame Jinguo seems to be a little tired, why don't you accompany Madam on a walk to rest?"
You want to test Madame Jinguo's words? Huangfu Wushuang worked hard enough, she must have done quite a few things for Huangfu Shu, just that she did not realize it herself.
Seeing that, Emperor Xuanwu could not help but laugh: "I was careless. I forgot that you worked hard on the boat, why not go back to the residence and rest first. If there is anything wrong with the house, please do not hesitate to mention it."
Hearing that, Madame Jinguo stood up to express her gratitude, "I have troubled Your Majesty. It is this subject's fault. Next time, this subject will enter the palace to apologize to Your Majesty."
Xue Jinlian did not follow Madame Jinguo away, but instead, Emperor Xuanwu, Empress Liu and the rest left shortly after. Using Emperor Xuanwu's words, she said, "You girls must definitely look down on us for being too old and annoying, we should be leaving now."
With Emperor Xuanwu's words, the typical old Empress Liu found it embarrassing to stay any longer, so she called Huangfu Yunqian, the First Prince and the others to entertain the crowd, and hurriedly left with the few imperial concubines.
retracted his gaze and let out a silent sigh in his heart. So what if she was from the first country to the last, she was still a wife, but in the end, she was still a subject. Today, Emperor Xuanwu had caused the Empress Liu to lose face. Based on her personality, she should be feeling uneasy right now.
"Sister Chu, I have something to ask of you, please follow me."
It was unknown when Huangfu Yunqian suddenly appeared next to Chu Qinghuan. Even though his tone was respectful, his tone was extremely unkind.
The Madame Song and the imperial wives had already dispersed to different parts of the country, leaving behind only the few misses in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Princess, what advice do you have for me? Just say it here, maybe this subject will be able to answer questions for you." Chu Jinfu opened her mouth once again, but her words were sharp, causing Huangfu Yunqian's face to immediately turn red. She was just saying some words on face, what was there to ask?
There were only a lot of girls watching, even some of the noble children were watching. Huangfu Yunqian did not care about her image, and did not dare to lose her temper, but spoke coldly: "It's a private matter, that no one can help."
It seemed like Huangfu Yunqian was determined not to stop once she had reached her goal. Chu Qinghuan stopped Chu Jinfu, "It's fine, the inner palace is not some dangerous place, how can something happen to me?"
Huangfu Yunqian was annoyed upon hearing this, what does this mean? Isn't this clearly saying that if something were to happen to you, then I was the one who did it? More and more eyes gathered on them from all around, Huangfu Yunqian's feet hurried forward, yet Chu Qinghuan seemed to be taking a stroll in the courtyard as she followed behind. However, the two of them did not walk far, and Huangfu Yunqian had already torn off her face.
