Everyone was shocked, "His Royal Highness Prince Ming?"

Then they all knelt down and saluted, "I have met His Highness Prince Ming."

Qiao Nian also wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Prince Ming.

Prince Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at everyone, and did not let him stand up. Instead, he held Qiao Nian's hand in front of everyone, "From now on, her support will be this king. Anyone who dares to speak rudely to her will be disrespectful to me. Do you understand?"

In the past three years, Qiao Nian was the one who knelt down to others. Even in the fifteen years when she was favored as the apple of the eye in the Marquis Mansion, she had never felt the feeling of people around her kneeling down to her.

At this moment, she stood next to Prince Ming, looking down at the richly dressed young masters and daughters of various families around her, without any feeling of secret joy or elation.

On the contrary, it feels unreal.

And such an unreal feeling made her panic.

She wanted to pull her hand away, but King Ming held it tightly. She struggled slightly, but it was in vain.

But she didn't dare to move too much. After all, Prince Ming appeared to support her at this moment. How could she refute his face in public?

So, he lowered his eyes in silence.

With this look, in the eyes of outsiders, she becomes her little birdie.

Xiao Qingnuan looked at Qiao Nian and Prince Ming standing together, and for some reason she felt a little unhappy in her heart. At that moment, she ignored the etiquette and said to Prince Ming, "Your Highness, she is just the child of a servant. How can a person of lowly blood stand side by side with someone as noble as yours?"

Now everyone in the capital knows that Qiao Nian's biological mother was the former midwife of the Hou family. She did not care about the friendship between her family and replaced her with the family's child. She is really low and mean!

How could a child born to such a person stand with such a noble person as the prince?

Xiao Nuanqing was really angry.

However, Prince Ming's eyes darkened slightly, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his usually gentle eyes, "It seems that Miss Xiao just didn't hear clearly what I said. Someone, come and pick Miss Xiao's ears." "

King Ming gave the order, and immediately two attendants came forward and lifted Xiao Qingnuan up.

Xiao Qingnuan was shocked, and even Song Baixuan was frightened. She hurriedly spoke, "Your Highness, Miss Xiao is just being outspoken for a moment. She has no other intentions. Please show mercy to your Highness!"

If he was really dragged to have his ears picked out, I'm afraid he would be deaf when he came back!

Qiao Nian never thought that Prince Ming, who seemed gentle on the surface, could actually have such a method. Seeing that Xiao Qingnuan was really about to be pulled away, she finally reached out and tugged at the corner of Prince Ming's clothes.

King Ming was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw the little hand holding the corner of his clothes.

Those five fingers looked like they had been healed, but the traces of frostbite were still obvious.

Looking along the little hand, I saw Qiao Nian frowning and looking embarrassed, "Your Highness, today is a holy day, so there should be no more trouble in front of the Buddhist gate!"

She didn't plead for Xiao Qingnuan, she just said that Buddhism is a place where trouble is not easy to cause.

This sounds much more pleasant than Song Baixuan's "outspoken" words.

Prince Ming was in an inexplicably good mood, so he curled his lips and said, "Nian Nian is still thoughtful. In that case, let's forget it for today!"

After the words fell, the two attendants holding Xiao Qingnuan let go.

Xiao Qingnuan was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground with a plop.

King Ming glanced at everyone with his eyes, and then said, "I don't like to say a sentence twice. You'd better listen clearly and remember it, otherwise... next time without the blessing of Lord Buddha, you will have no choice but to do it yourself." Thank you very much.”

After saying that, Prince Ming turned to look at Qiao Nian, "Let's go in first."

King Ming just held Qiao Nian's hand and went to the temple in a grand manner.

Qiao Nian felt 10,000 regrets in her heart.

She shouldn't have come today.

In the past, Qiao Nian was as public as a bright pearl, enjoying being followed by everyone's eyes.

But now Qiao Nian just wants to stay in the corner quietly, preferably without being discovered by anyone.

Like now, it's too high-profile.

What's more, although she has agreed to this marriage, she has not yet received the emperor's consent after all, so she has not even announced her birth date.

You really shouldn't hold hands with Prince Ming in public.

Fortunately, after King Ming entered the temple, he met the abbot of Fahua Temple, and he naturally let go of Qiao Nian's hand while performing Buddhist rituals.

Qiao Nian quickly retracted his hand and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The abbot came specially to greet King Ming. He wanted to teach King Ming the Dharma.

Prince Ming turned to look at Qiao Nian, "Just wait for me outside for an hour. I will take you somewhere later."

Qiao Nian didn't plan to stay out for long today. She just wanted to ask for the peace talisman and then go back. So she couldn't help but be stunned when she heard what King Ming said. But after King Ming said it, he left without seeing what Qiao Nian's reaction was.

It wasn't until King Ming's back disappeared from sight that Ningshuang behind him couldn't help but stepped forward and asked softly, "Miss, how did His Highness King Ming know that we will come today?"

I actually found a place and will take the lady there later!

Qiao Nian shook his head, "Perhaps it's because today is a holy day and most people in the capital will come!"

Qiao Nian thought, it couldn't be Lin Yuan who told Prince Ming, right?

Ignoring so much, Qiao Nian said to Ningshuang, "Let's go pray to Buddha and ask for the peace talisman."

After saying that, he led Ningshuang inside.

Kneeling in front of the largest Guanyin statue in Fahua Temple, Qiao Nian clasped his hands together and bowed sincerely.

But I didn't expect that a heart-wrenching voice suddenly came from behind me, "Sister, why are you here alone?"

It's Lin Yuan!

Qiao Nian was forced to open his eyes, and saw Lin Yuan kneeling beside him.

But she didn't pray to the Buddha, and stared at Qiao Nian with her eyes, "Didn't you say you would come with me? I've been waiting for you in the mansion for a long time!"

Qiao Nian was really tired, and just as she was about to speak, Xiao Qingnuan's voice came from behind, "If she came with you, how could she pretend to be pitiful in front of the Ming King?"

Qiao Nian turned around, but saw that Xiao Qingnuan was not alone.

Besides Song Baixuan, there were two tall figures beside her.

One was Lin Ye, and the other was Xiao Heng.

Qiao Nian regretted it again in her heart.

If she had known that so many people would come today, she should have stayed in the mansion, even if she was idle and dazed, it would be better than seeing this group of people!

Lin Ye didn't know what happened. He couldn't help asking after hearing Xiao Qingnuan's words, "Playing pitiful?"

"Yes!" Xiao Qingnuan glared at Qiao Nian fiercely, "King Ming said that he would be Qiao Nian's support in the future, and no one could disrespect Qiao Nian. Ha! I really didn't expect Miss Qiao to be so good at seducing people! She can even seduce the prince!"

After Xiao Nuanqing's words fell, there was silence all around.

Everyone looked at Qiao Nian.

Even though Lin Ye and Lin Yuan knew what was going on between her and King Ming, at this time, when she was slandered and insulted by Xiao Qingnuan, they still didn't say a word.

Fortunately, Qiao Nian was used to their silence at critical moments.

Ningshuang, who was standing aside, wanted to speak angrily, but was stopped by Qiao Nian, "Ningshuang, step back."

Ningshuang had no choice but to hold her breath and take two steps back.

Qiao Nian put his hands together, bowed to the Bodhisattva, and then stood up and walked in front of Xiao Qingnuan.

Xiao Qingnuan relied on the presence of her brother today, so even though she had been scolded by King Ming, she was not afraid at all. She raised her noble chin and raised her eyebrows at Qiao Nian, "What? Did I say something wrong?"

"Pa!"

A slap, crisp and loud.
