After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness
Chapter 143: Caught in adultery at a palace banquet, questioned on the spot
The palace maid did not lower her voice when she replied. As soon as these words came out, the nobles sitting in the front heard everything and started talking about it.
"No wonder Xiao Xuetang hasn't come back for sobering up for so long. It turns out she went to have a secret meeting with the Third Prince."
"These two have known each other since childhood and are engaged. It's normal for them to be unable to control their feelings for the moment."
"Oh! Even if they are engaged, this is a palace banquet. I heard that the Empress Dowager is holding a Dharma Assembly today. The Third Prince went to copy scriptures for the Empress Dowager but secretly did something like this... Isn't he afraid of being punished by the Buddha?"
For a moment, everyone had different expressions...
There was confusion in Wang Yueying's eyes.
She asked Cui Mo to lead Xiao Xuetang to the forbidden area, and then arranged for several guards to wait there.
If the plan succeeds, Xiao Xuetang will be a despised slut; if it fails, Xiao Xuetang has brought trouble upon herself by breaking into the forbidden area!
But Cui Mo didn't reply for a long time, and Wang Yueying thought the plan had failed. Unexpectedly, by some coincidence, Xiao Xuetang was actually with Lin Shaoshu.
But for Wang Yueying, it was enough as long as Xiao Xuetang was not qualified to compete with her for Lin Xun.
Moreover, although Xiao Xuetang and Lin Shaoshu were engaged, they had a secret meeting at a palace banquet and were caught, which was enough to make people in Kyoto laugh at them for a while.
Wang Yueying felt indescribably comfortable in her heart. She glanced at the emperor and empress sitting on the dragon throne. Emperor Yonghui could hardly hide his anger on his face, but Empress Wang showed her only sincere smile of the day.
The court officials were all accusing the Crown Prince of being lustful towards women and having poor personal ethics, and praising the Third Prince for his noble character. But at today's palace banquet, Lin Shaoshu did such a ridiculous thing!
In the future, how would he have the nerve to make friends with those famous people...
Those people value the prince's moral character the most!
Queen Wang could hardly suppress the curled corners of her mouth, but she still put on a virtuous look and persuaded Emperor Yonghui, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. The Third Prince is young and full of vigor, and Xiao Xuetang is his fiancée. It is reasonable for her to be angry with such a beautiful woman."
It would have been better if he hadn't tried to persuade him. This persuasion instantly added fuel to the fire for Emperor Yonghui. Emperor Yonghui, who was always mild-tempered and couldn't bear to punish even the eunuch who served tea to him, actually smashed the wine cup in his hand.
"Evil son!"
The dancers and palace maids below fell to their knees in an instant. The nobles present today wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but after Emperor Yonghui smashed the cup like that, they could no longer play dumb.
The matter of Queen Wang's family was exposed and escalated just as she wished, and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
But she was a dignified and virtuous queen. Even though her son was caught cheating by the third prince in the Huguo Temple yesterday, today she wanted to persuade Emperor Yonghui not to catch the third prince cheating!
"Your Majesty, please calm down. For the sake of the late emperor, please save some face for these two children."
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned the late emperor, but when he did, Emperor Yonghui's eyes turned red with anger, and he angrily said, "I gave him face, but has he ever thought about the royal family's face? Come on, bring that evildoer here!"
This was originally a family affair of the emperor, but at this time Emperor Yonghui was angry, and Queen Wang fanned the flames, so everyone knew about it...
The people below looked at each other and thought to themselves that something was wrong. This Queen Wang deliberately wanted to kill the Third Prince and... the Yong'an Marquisate.
Xiao Yi was humiliated by what happened at Huguo Temple yesterday, so he did not attend the banquet today. Only Xie and Xiao Yu, mother and son, attended.
At this time, Xie's eyes were red with anxiety. If Xiao Yu hadn't been there to support her, she would have fainted long ago...
She murmured, "How did things turn out like this?"
Xiao Yu hadn't expected it to become such a big deal, but now that Xie was in this state, he was the backbone and couldn't lose his composure.
Xiao Yu said solemnly, "Although Xuetang has a bad temper, she is not someone who doesn't know how to be frivolous. She must have been tricked by someone today..."
"The person who took her away just now was someone close to Queen Wang's niece. Today's incident is most likely related to the Queen!"
Listening to Xiao Yu's calm analysis, Xie was anxious and hateful at this time, and said: "She...she wants to wipe out our Xie family."
The grudge between Wang and Xie has been going on for a long time. Even though the Xie family has left Kyoto, they are still a thorn in the eyes of the Wang family and the Queen...
After today's commotion, even with the late emperor's imperial decree granting marriage, I'm afraid it would be difficult for a girl like Xiao Xuetang to escape unscathed.
"Don't worry, mother. Xuetang is my sister. Even if I risk my life today, I will protect her!"
Yes, that was his sister. No matter how they had fought to the death in the past, the blood bond between them was there. How could he... really be so cruel?
Thinking of the past, a trace of sadness flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes.
At this moment, the young master Xiao, who was just over twenty years old and full of vigor and vitality, had a vicissitudes look in his eyes, as if he was old.
Xiao Yunni happened to see it...
Why does his cousin look weird?
Xiao Yunni was not as nervous as the Xiao family at this moment. She glanced at the man sitting on the high platform and had a premonition in her heart...
With the Regent around, Xiao Xuetang will definitely not be in danger!
As for the rumor that Xiao Xuetang and Lin Shaoshu were having a secret meeting, Xiao Yunni didn't believe it at all.
In her previous life, Xiao Xuetang was killed by those two bitches Lin Shaoshu and Ye Jin. In her new life, unless Xiao Xuetang has gone crazy, she will continue to be with Lin Shaoshu.
But what about the adultery caught in the side hall?
As everyone was speculating secretly, soon the Yonghui Emperor's trusted eunuch, Eunuch Jiang, came running over and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress, the people have been brought here."
"The one who was having a tryst with the Third Prince in the side hall... was Miss Ye!"
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar.
"Isn't Miss Ye the adopted daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate? Why is she with the Third Prince?"
"No, you didn't see it just now. The Yong'an Marquis's Mansion has cut ties with Ye Jin. Madam Xie did not bring Ye Jin to the banquet today. She brought a girl from the second house. This Ye Jin must have been invited by the Queen."
"I heard that Ye Jin also saved the Queen's life and often went in and out of the palace. Could it be that he hooked up with the Third Prince at that time..."
Queen Wang, who was originally high up and ready to watch the show, suddenly changed color when she heard the voice...
If Lin Shaoshu was hanging out with Xiao Xuetang today, it would be their own fault; but if it was someone else who was with Lin Shaoshu, she was the mistress of the harem and had the responsibility to manage it, so she would also be implicated today.
What’s even more terrible is that the person is actually Ye Jin…
But before Queen Wang could react, Ye Jin and Lin Shaoshu were brought up.
Because they were caught in such a hurry, both of them were disheveled, and Lin Shaoshu didn't even have his belt fastened properly. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp...
The third prince, Lin Shaoshu, was of handsome appearance. In the past, many young men from aristocratic families gathered at the Phoenix Terrace. However, Lin Shaoshu's piano music became famous in Kyoto, and his elegance was unrivaled in the capital.
It was once praised as "Looking at the Qi River, the green bamboos are lush and green. There is a gentleman who is as sharp as a knife and as polished as a stone."
This gentleman, who was as sharp as a knife, now had his hair loose.
He knelt on the ground with disheveled hair and a look of shock, anger and fear on his face before the emperor.
He is in such an embarrassed state that he is comparable to the prince who was caught cheating yesterday. Where is his former dignity and bearing that he once had?
At this moment, a young girl's crying voice was heard not far away, asking: "Lin Shaoshu, you and I have been childhood sweethearts for decades, why did you betray me!"
