Quick Wear: The paranoid beauty grabs the waist and spoils her

Emperor Chengming and the Empress sat at the top. Emperor Chengming showed no expression and the Empress looked indifferent. The concubines on both sides of the table also had different expressions. Some were proud, some were pitying, and some had unclear expressions. In short, they were all more or less gloating.

Everyone's eyes fell on the kneeling palace maid, who was Wen Cairen's personal maid, Caidie.

"Caidie, did you see clearly who pushed your young mistress?" Concubine Xu has always been outspoken and would say whatever she wants to say.

But her outgoing and cheerful personality was very much liked by Emperor Chengming.

It is true that Concubine Xu is bright and charming yet not vulgar, and she is flamboyant yet generous. The Xu family is also very powerful, so it is natural that she is favored.

The queen was used to this and just glanced at Concubine Xu indifferently, then glanced at Caidie, and her eyes fell on Xiao Mingyu.

Seeing the unfamiliar little eunuch standing next to Xiao Mingyu, the queen became curious and took a few more glances.

Nan Xiang felt the Queen's gaze and did not dodge, but smiled at her.

This was the first time she saw the legendary Queen Mother. She was indeed worthy of being the mother of a country, with a beauty and grace of unrivaled elegance.

In Nan Xiang's opinion, the Imperial Concubine's brightness and charm, the Li Concubine's cool beauty, the Xian Concubine's beauty and virtuousness, and the Wan Zhaoyi's gentleness and kindness, none of them can compare to the Empress's unparalleled grace and beauty.

This reminded Nan Xiang of a rumor she had heard before. It was said that before the queen got married, she was the most beautiful woman and the most talented woman in Daqian.

Even now.

Although more than ten years have passed, the queen is still as beautiful as ever, and her demeanor is incomparable to those newcomers to the palace, nor to any other concubines.

No wonder the Queen has been cold to Your Majesty for so many years, but Your Majesty still tirelessly seeks forgiveness. In addition to the guilt he feels towards the people in Duke Wei's Mansion, a large part of it is probably due to his feelings for the Queen.

Nan Xiang thought to herself.

Suddenly she felt a slight tug. Nan Xiang regained her composure and looked at the little palace maid who was pulling her clothes and smiled.

"Caiyi, what's the matter?"

Caiyi whispered, "Xiao Nanzi, Aunt Qinxin and Eunuch Zheng are very worried about you. His Majesty and the Queen are currently dealing with the matter of Wen Cairen falling into the water..."

Nan Xiang understood Cai Yi's meaning, and looked over quietly, and soon saw the figures of Eunuch Zheng and Aunt Qin Xin.

Taking advantage of the current stalemate, she, being small and positioned relatively far back, could go to Eunuch Zheng without being noticed.

Nan Xiang thanked Xiao Mingyu again in a low voice, and then followed Cai Yi to the location of the Shanggong Bureau.

She thought no one would pay attention to her and Cai Yi, but she didn't know that her movements were all seen by the Queen. The Queen didn't care about it, but was a little curious about the person the Fourth Prince was going to protect.

Nan Xiang returned to Eunuch Zheng and Aunt Qin Xin. Eunuch Zheng didn't say anything, but his worried expression eased. He nodded and just asked Nan Xiang to stay there obediently.

Nan Xiang responded by lowering her head and standing obediently.

As she stood there, she felt a little bored, so she began to "brainstorm" to analyze the ins and outs of Wen Cairen falling into the water.

Just as she was stunned at this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of a huge pot falling towards her.

"Your Majesty, the Queen, I saw that it was Xiao Nan who pushed the talented lady down and into the water."

Caidie, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly looked up and pointed at Nanxiang, with resolute hatred in her eyes.

After Caidie pointed out the problem, the other palace servants retreated to the side, and soon a vacuum zone appeared around Nan Xiang.

Feeling all the inquiring, teasing, or pitying gazes, Nan Xiang's mind went blank. She knelt on the ground reflexively, looking terrified:

"Your Majesty, please understand clearly, it is definitely not Wen Cairen who was recommended by me!"

Nan Xiang was just about to prove her innocence and say something else when she heard a young and powerful voice:

"Your Majesty, it was definitely not Xiao Nanzi. Xiao Nanzi was with me at my fifth brother's full moon banquet today. And Xiao Nanzi also saved me."

"Oh?" Emperor Chengming narrowed his eyes, looked at Nan Xiang calmly, and asked, "Is this true?"

Nan Xiang was a little confused when she heard Xiao Mingyu's answer. Why didn't she remember that she saved Xiao Mingyu today?

Even so, Nan Xiang understood Xiao Mingyu's meaning after receiving the boy's obscure gaze, and immediately replied respectfully:

"It is true. The Fourth Prince almost fell down in the Begonia Garden just now, and it was this servant who held him back."

Since the Fourth Prince made up the story out of nothing, she had no choice but to make it up.

Although it's a bit outrageous, there is a slope in the Begonia Garden in the imperial palace, and it's easy to be tripped by something and roll down the slope if you're not careful.

So it makes sense for her to say that.

At this time, Biling, who was originally very proud, was not happy. She had just been gloating and showing sympathy to this ignorant eunuch. But who would have thought that there would be a turn of events?

As expected, the Queen is the daughter of Concubine Kli.

Furious, Biling questioned Nanxiang's words without waiting for Concubine Li's instructions:

"How dare you, a slave, speak nonsense and offend His Majesty and the Queen? The Fourth Prince just happened to fall down and you just happened to support him at that moment? Could it be that you, a dog slave, deliberately planned it?"

Originally, Biling had not thought of this reason. She just suddenly thought of it and thought it was a good idea, so she used it. Little did she know that although she got the advantage of her eloquence for a while, she was disliked by Concubine Li and became a chess piece that could be abandoned at any time.

Concubine Li secretly said "idiot", and then immediately scolded Biling:

"Biling, stop talking!"

As soon as the words fell, Biling hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "It was my fault for talking too much."

After scolding Bi Ling, Concubine Li immediately apologized with a smile: "Your Majesty, Queen, Bi Ling has always been outspoken. If I have offended you, I apologize here."

Emperor Chengming and the Empress had not yet expressed their opinions, but Shu Xiuyi, who was sitting diagonally opposite Concubine Li, smiled.

"Sister, are you saying that the Fourth Prince is lying..."

At this point, Shu Xiuyi suddenly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes filled with surprise.

"I have always spoken my mind, and Your Majesty and all the sisters know this. Sister Li Fei, are you saying that Your Majesty and the Empress are not good at disciplining the Fourth Prince, and that they are allowing him to lie and protect the guilty slave?"
