Chapter 154 - Chaotic Sovereign's Heart
Seeing that, Lv Luo left and reminded: "Miss, Baili Ziyan is here."
Hong Zhong swept a glance over: "I got it, go get me some water to wash my face." Then, she slowly sat up on the rattan chair, watching Baili Ziyan approach from afar. On her delicate and petite face, a red palm-print was exceptionally obvious!
It seems like that slap from Baili Yi Chen was really heavy!
Baili Ziyan walked in front of Hong Zhong in a few large strides, and looked at Hong Zhong who was smearing a face mask for a while. However, her beautiful phoenix eyes quickly lit up, and wished for nothing more than to spew out blazing flames. Murong Youqi had never seen that little bitch Baili Yaoji either, so how could he choose to marry her?
Just then, Lv Luo walked over with some water to wash his face. She unhurriedly twisted the embroidered cloth and passed it to Hong Zhong to wash his face.
"Grand Princess, you must be joking." Hong Zhong calmly received a wet brocade handkerchief from Lv Luo's hands and wiped off the mask on her face. She then slowly said, "As for the marriage alliance, it's naturally to choose an outstanding and talented princess, you yourself can't compare to Princess Yao Ji, so how can you blame me? And most importantly, who does the Fourth Prince want to marry, it's his business, what does it have to do with me?"
Hong Zhong's calm attitude was a stark contrast to her fury at the moment. Pointing at Hong Zhong's arm, she slightly trembled: "You're still saying it's not you? "Then do you dare say that you didn't go to see him last night?"
This bitch, it was fine that she would pester Murong Youqi everyday, but what was so outstanding about her and what was so talented and beautiful about her? Was she mocking herself for not being as good as that little bitch Baili Yaoji?
Looking at Baili Ziyan's furious expression, it seemed like she had made a fool out of herself. Hong Zhong thought for a bit, then chuckled: "That's right, I did find him, and it was I who told Murong Youqi to choose Yao Ji instead of you, so what? Three months later, Yao Ji and Murong Youqi will be married. Seeing the man he loves marry the little sister he looks down upon, that must feel really good, right? "
"Hong Zhong, you!" Baili Ziyan never thought that Hong Zhong would admit it so readily. At the moment, she was already so angry that she did not know what to say.
Hong Zhong swept his gaze across her chest as she laughed in disdain, "I remember the princess once saying that she seemed to be quite proud of her chest. But it's such a pity, no matter how proud she is, you won't be able to get your beloved man!"
Baili Ziyan was very angry to begin with, and now that she has been humiliated again, in the end, she could no longer endure it and directly charged forward, attempting to pinch Hong Zhong's neck: "Hong Zhong, you destroyed this princess' marriage, caused my royal brother to slap me, and you still dare to humiliate this princess. This princess will kill you!"
Hearing that, Hong Zhong quickly avoided Baili Ziyan, turned her head and looked at Baili Ziyan, feigning surprise: "Eh? Why did the wound on Grand Princess's face look like it was hit by the Emperor? It looks like the emperor finally knows that you're asking for a beating. Although it's a little late, it's not too late for the dead to make up for their losses. "
"Pfft …" Lv Luo, who was serving at the side, could not hold back and actually laughed, while the palace maids who came with the Grand Princess all lowered their heads, as if they wanted to laugh but did not dare. Actually, they also wanted to laugh, but they did not dare offend Grand Princess!
However, after working in the palace for so many years, he had never seen Grand Princess being so popular. This Red Third Miss's mouth was really too poisonous!
"Hong Zhong, you are going too far!" Baili Ziyan was angered until her face turned purple.
Baili Ziyan was so angry that she was about to vomit blood, but Hong Zhong was actually very relaxed right now, staring at Baili Ziyan's face, evaluating him seriously: "However, are you sure it's really your royal brother's little sister? Just look at her face! "Hmm, in summary, it can only be described with one word: well done!"
"I'll kill you!" Baili Ziyan was so angry that he did not know what to say, and directly raised his hand, prepared to give Hong Zhong a slap.
"Pa ~ ~"
Baili Ziyan covered the face that had been slapped by Baili Yi Chen in disbelief. She had never thought that she would actually slap Hong Zhong, let alone end up getting slapped herself, "Hong Zhong, you dare to hit this princess? This princess is a Grand Princess of the Baili Royal Family, how dare you beat me! "
Hong Zhong said with a cold face, "Hmph, so what if I hit you? Princess, do you know what your current behavior is? "
Baili Ziyan was startled, she did not understand what Hong Zhong was trying to do, and looked at Hong Zhong with a confused look, only to see Hong Zhong coldly laughing: "You call that sending yourself to seek a beating. If I don't grant your wish, I will feel that I am letting you off the hook for coming here! "
Hearing that, Baili Ziyan became angry again. She waved her hand and prepared to give Hong Zhong a slap.
How could she let Baili Ziyan succeed? She grabbed onto Baili Ziyan's raised hand with one hand, and with the other hand facing Baili Ziyan's face, she did not hesitate at all.
"WHAP!" Yet another slap!
Before Baili Ziyan could regain her senses, she was already knocked to the ground. Hong Zhong said coldly, "This slap is for Qingya."
Baili Ziyan caressed her own face: "Hong Zhong, this princess is a Grand Princess of the Baili Royal Family, do you know what crime it is for you to make a move against me?!" Since the ancient times, the people of the royal family were kings, they were the gods. As an official, no matter how powerful you were, you were still an official!
Baili Ziyan's words had originally wanted to intimidate Hong Zhong, but had instead angered him even more. She coldly snorted and was just about to slap her again, when her raised arm was suddenly grabbed by the side. She turned her head and saw Baili Yi Chen's gloomy face: "Hong Zhong, what are you doing!"
This woman, she actually dared to make a move on the Grand Princess in the palace. No matter how wrong Baili Ziyan was, she was still a member of the royal family. This foolish woman beat up the princess and said that she was like killing a king. That was a great crime that had to be committed to the nine clans!
"Let go of me!" Hong Zhong was already on the verge of exploding in anger, so how could he possibly hear the meaning behind Baili Yi Chen's words?
Hearing Hong Zhong's words, not only did Baili Yi Chen not let go, he grabbed even more tightly. "I let you go and die!"
Hearing that, Hong Zhong paused, and started to calm down. She turned around and looked at Baili Yi Chen while gasping for air, suppressing his anger.
Baili Ziyan, who was at the side, could not calm down and threw herself in front of Baili Yi Chen, wailing with tears and snot flowing, "Royal brother, Royal brother, you have to help Yan'er. Yan'er is Southern Qi, and Hong Zhong actually dared to beat me like this in front of everyone.
Baili Yi Chen unhappily turned his head to look at Baili Ziyan's face which had been slapped twice. He felt extremely disgusted in his heart: "You still know you're Southern Qi, and you also know you want face!" Hmph, the princess of a country is actually making trouble for a man in the great hall!
Not only did he not realize that he had been slapped, he even wanted to run to the harem to cause trouble! Why did he have to come and talk to him about face now? Southern Qi's face had long ago been completely thrown away by her!
Now, she could not steal Baili Yaoji, that little bitch, and had even received two slaps from a woman in front of him. The more she thought about it, the more wronged she was, and she decided to throw caution out of the window as well, "Royal brother, we are siblings after all. Since Yan'er was bullied to this extent, and Imperial brother actually doesn't help Yan'er speak up for her. Saying that, he pretended to jump into the Xiwu Hall's small pond.
"If you truly wish to die, then just jump." Baili Yi Chen was completely enraged. This idiot, he lost his face, and now he still had to make a scene in front of everyone. This was all due to his mother!
He stood there stunned, not knowing what to do. Looking at the people who were watching them as a joke, he felt that he had no face at all, so he simply went and sat on the ground crying: "I am a dignified Southern Qi, and have been bullied to this extent by a slut, what meaning do I have in living! I don't want to live anymore! "
Seeing Baili Ziyan being so preposterous, the palace ladies of the Xiwu Hall all felt that it was simply too subversive, as they lowered their heads one after another, trying their best to hold back their laughter. The servants who followed Baili Ziyan wanted to go forward and advise against it, but because of the low pressure released by Baili Yi Chen, they did not dare to advance. They could only lower their heads and not even breathe.
Baili Ziyan's heart was in disarray, and everyone was gloating in their hearts. Suddenly, a graceful woman's voice interrupted Baili Ziyan's weeping, "Wailing Home would like to see who exactly dares to bully Grand Princess."
Just as she finished speaking, Nangong Lingwei arrived at Xiwu Hall in a grandiose manner, accompanied by a group of eunuchs and palace maids.
Nangong Lingwei walked into the Xiwu Hall with Nangong Yimeng's support, and looked at Baili Ziyan who was making a ruckus on the ground with displeasure. Earlier, she had received Nangong Yimeng's report saying that Baili Ziyan had been beaten up by Hong Zhong in the Xiwu Hall, and she was a little curious, no matter how bold Hong Zhong was, could she still beat up the princess in front of everyone?
But now, right after they had just walked through the entrance of the Xiwu Hall, they had heard Baili Ziyan's wails and shouts, which undoubtedly confirmed the fact that Hong Zhong was bullying Zi Yan. Filled with displeasure, they entered to see Baili Ziyan's fair face, the obvious palm imprint, combined with her sobs, if it wasn't Hong Zhong who did it, who else could it be!
Thinking about it this way, Nangong Lingwei became somewhat angry. Baili Ziyan was her most beloved princess, and Hong Zhong's birthday banquet was indeed breathtaking, but this did not mean that she could be favored and not see the imperial princess in her eyes!
Looking at the scene in front of him, Nangong Lingwei's noble and graceful face was filled with anger, "What exactly happened here!?"
Seeing that Nangong Lingwei had arrived, Baili Ziyan was immediately emboldened. She did not bother to wipe the tears and snot off her face, and immediately crawled at Nangong Lingwei's feet crying and complaining, "Mother, you have to avenge Yan'er."
"Hong Zhong, how dare you!" Nangong Lingwei unhappily glared at Hong Zhong, her phoenix eyes filled with fury.
When Baili Yi Chen saw this, he stepped forward, "Imperial Mother."
Being yelled at by Nangong Lingwei, Hong Zhong knew that the empress dowager was extremely angry this time. She turned around and looked at Nangong Yimeng, who was following behind her.
"You don't dare, you even dare to hit Grand Princess, what else do you not dare to do? Imperial Mother, you must uphold justice for Yan'er. " Baili Ziyan was very good at seizing opportunities, fanning the flames at the side.
After being yelled at by Nangong Lingwei, Baili Yi Chen had originally planned to tactfully shut his mouth, but after hearing Baili Ziyan's words, he unhappily turned his head to look at Baili Ziyan, and then turned to speak to the empress dowager again, "Imperial Mother, please calm your anger. Hong Zhong is a young man who doesn't know any better, he doesn't understand the rules.
Nangong Lingwei was originally looking at Hong Zhong's attitude and her anger had lessened by a bit. SShe knitted her eyebrows and said sincerely: "Isn't it precisely because you're young that you need to discipline you even more? He is still not married into the palace and yet she is already beating up Grand Princess. Hong Zhong, where have you learned your rules? If she were to marry into the imperial palace in the future and give birth to a prince, what will happen then? "
"Perhaps, at that time, even the empress dowager won't take her seriously!" Nangong Yimeng muttered to herself on the side. After she finished speaking, she put on a frightened look, as if she had accidentally said it. However, she did do it on purpose, she had understood clearly, with this idiot Baili Ziyan, whether it was impossible to deal with him, or if she had to take action herself!
What Nangong Yimeng said "inadvertently" added fuel to the fire, and this made the face of the empress dowager, who was originally in a bad mood, even more unsightly. Her phoenix eyes carried a terrifying dignity, and she looked at Hong Zhong, wanting him to give an explanation.
Baili Yi Chen impatiently swept a meaningful glance at her.
"Of course I don't put Her Majesty in my eyes." Hong Zhong felt everyone's gaze on him, and honestly raised his head and said something that caused everyone to be greatly shocked. Even Baili Yi Chen who wanted to protect Hong Zhong stared at Hong Zhong in disbelief. Si Nvren, if you don't speak, you will die!
Of course, as the empress dowager, Nangong Lingwei's already dark face darkened even more when she heard this! Hong Zhong, how dare you! "
"Calm your anger, empress dowager!" Hong Zhong quickly lowered her head, and with a respectful look: "maidservant is saying, that the Esteemed Empress Dowager is the best in the world, and is the most respected woman in my Southern Qi. maidservant is extremely respectful towards him, and does not just put him in his eyes, but in his heart!"
"Stupid woman, are you going to die if you don't breathe!" Baili Yi Chen scolded Hong Zhong in his heart. Hong Zhong's words made Baili Yi Chen's heart drop, and also made Nangong Yimeng's gloating heart drop to the ground. He had no choice but to put it down in an instant!
This damnable woman, she really had a sharp tongue!
