Chu Yixuan's hands paused, and the anger in his eyes gradually died down, but his expression did not change.
"Don't overestimate your abilities in the future. Situ Mantian, you think you can scheme against me?”
His eyes had long lost all emotion, and his mouth was filled with ridicule.
"You overestimate yourself!"
Situ Mantian's body felt light the next second.
Chu Yi had already sat up straight, his expression calm and relaxed, as if nothing had happened.
Situ Manyao felt humiliated.
It was really unbearable for him to do such a despicable thing to her in front of so many people.
Situ Mantian felt the hatred in her heart grow stronger and stronger, but she couldn't do anything or say anything in such an occasion.
She lowered her head slightly and tidied her clothes. Her breathing became heavier because of her anger.
" Yixuan, what are you doing? You should look at the situation and do whatever you want. How could you…"
The empress dowager was naturally very angry. She had wanted to give him a good lecture, but considering that there were so many ministers now, it was really convenient to say this, so she did not continue.
"Third brother and wangfei's relationship is really good.”
Situ Mantian looked at Chu Yiyuan with obvious mockery in her eyes.
Situ Mantian followed the voice and looked at him. She felt that his expression was strange, as if he was mocking her.
She was curious and wanted to take a closer look at Chu Yiyuan, but he had already retracted his gaze.
"Empress Dowager is right."
Chu Yixuan seemed to have really realized his mistake, but the expressionless face on his face made people think that he was just perfunctory.
"Emperor, since this Xuan Wangye already knows his mistake, you shouldn't blame him anymore. Today is your birthday, don't be upset over this matter.”
The Empress Dowager glanced at Chu Yixuan and then turned to look at the Emperor, the smile on her face was a little flattering.
Situ Manyao finally realized that the Empress Dowager had stopped this ridiculous thing because she was worried that the Emperor would vent his anger on Chu Yixuan.
Although she did not have a good relationship with the Empress Dowager, she did not have much hope for her.
However, after knowing her intentions, he could not help but sneer in his heart.
As expected of a member of the royal family, he never cared about the feelings of others.
"Mother, what are you saying?"
A faint smile appeared on Chu Yijing's face. He was not as angry as he was earlier.
"Yixuan must have drunk too much and lost control of himself because he couldn't stand the beauty of the princess consort. How could I care about it?”
The corners of his mouth curled up perfectly, but there was no emotion in his eyes. If one looked closely, one would find that a trace of anger had not dissipated.
Situ Mantiao looked at the group of people who were pretending to be polite and smiled coldly.
All of them were so hypocritical.
"You see, you want to mess with me, and I want to let you have your wish, but unfortunately…"
The man's proud and helpless voice came from beside her.
Situ Mantiao clenched her fists tightly and didn't even look at him.
"Chu Yixuan, don't be too smug. I will get back at you no matter what!”
Even if it wasn't now.
"Is that so?"
Chu Yixuan couldn't exert any strength and just sat there, maintaining his original posture.
"Hearing you say that, I'm very interested!”He curled his lips and said mockingly," I'll wait and see!”
Situ Mantian knew that it wasn't appropriate for her to talk too much with him in this situation.
He took a deep breath and looked away.
The music started playing again as scheduled. The banquet continued, but no one present mentioned the episode just now.
It seemed that such a thing had never happened before.
Chu Yixuan, on the other hand, was no longer drinking like before. Instead, he sat there without moving.
Situ Mantian glanced at him warily, thinking that he must be plotting something.
However, in fact, Chu Yixuan was only unable to move because he was poisoned by Situ Mantian.
He had gritted his teeth just now and used all his strength.
"Emperor, I see that you are not young anymore. It is time to have an empress. This harem should not be so unregulated!”
The empress dowager looked at Chu Yijing and spoke slowly, perhaps because the atmosphere had improved.
"Mother, there's no hurry."
Chu Yijing was obviously perfunctory, and the smile on his face faded.
"How can I not be anxious? Look at Yixuan. Didn't he also refuse to marry the main consort in the past? Look at how sweet he and Manyao are now.”
After the first song, another group of dancers came on stage. The Empress Dowager took advantage of this time to speak.
Chu Yijing lazily lifted his eyelids and glanced at Chu Yixuan, who did not respond at all. He did not say anything.
However, the impatience on her face was very obvious. The Empress Dowager was also smart. When she saw that the Emperor was unhappy, she did not say anything more.
Situ Mantiao sat in his seat and thought about their relationship.
She wasn't stupid. She naturally knew that although these people were all related to the royal family, this didn't mean that they had a good relationship.
From her observation, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and Chu Yixuan was naturally good.
It could be seen from the way she defended Chu Yixuan just now.
As for Chu Yiyuan…
Situ Manyao shifted her gaze to Chu Yiyuan's face.
He had already changed into a new set of clothes, not the one he had seen in the pavilion, and he looked much more energetic.
Her hair had been carefully styled, probably because of this birthday banquet.
Chu Yiyuan had a handsome face. It was hard to notice anything from his appearance, but if one observed him closely, one would notice that his behavior was very strange.
There must be a reason.
Situ Mantian frowned. The two of them were both princes, so they should be brothers. How could there be any discord?
Just as Situ Manyao was puzzled, Chu Yiyuan suddenly raised his head.
"Princess Consort, why are you staring at me like that?"
His smile was very warm, but Situ Manyao could sense that the smile on his face did not reach his eyes.
Situ Mantian pursed her lips and looked away without saying anything.
Chu Yiyuan didn't mind. He narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his cup to Situ Mantian. Then, he raised his head and downed it in one gulp.
"Why? You've only just seen him, and you're already thinking about someone else?”
Suddenly, Chu Yixuan's cold voice rang in her ears. Situ Mantian turned around and looked at him with confusion in her eyes.
"Situ Mantian, I'm warning you. You're now the princess of the Xuan Prince's mansion. You have to be careful of your words and actions to avoid being gossiped about by others.”
Situ Manyao wanted to argue with him, but after thinking about it, she felt that there was no need to. She pursed her lips and looked at the dancers who were trying their best to dance.
Lian Xin cleaned up the room and went to prepare lotus seed porridge for Situ Manyao.
Winter had already arrived, and Situ Manyao was used to eating less and more. She would feel hungry not long after lunch.
"Lianxin, what are you doing?”
As soon as he walked out of the east courtyard, he saw Lady Qingluan walking over with a little servant girl by her side.
"Replying to Furen, I'll go make some lotus seed porridge for Young Lady.”
When Lian Xin saw that it was the Green Phoenix, her heart skipped a beat. She rarely went out and was always afraid of meeting people she shouldn't have met. She didn't expect to be so unlucky today. She had just left the house and met such a difficult person, Lady Green Phoenix.
"Didn't wangfei accompany wangye to attend the emperor's birthday banquet? Are you still worried that she will starve?”
The Blue Luan sneered and looked at him from head to toe. She pitied him.
She looked obedient. She could only blame herself for following the wrong master. Then, don't blame her for being ruthless.
"Don't worry about your Miss. I have something I need your help with.”
As she spoke, she gave a look to the little servant girl beside her.
The latter instructed and immediately held Lian Xin's hand intimately.
"Lianxin, Madam has instructed me to do too many things just now. I can't handle it all by myself. It's great to meet you.”
After saying that, he pulled Lian Xin's hand and went to the laundry room.
There were many maids and servants in the prince's mansion, and the division of labor was very clear. Usually, Lian Xin only needed to serve Situ Manyao's meals and daily life. She did not need to do any other heavy work.
So when she saw the mountain of dirty clothes in front of her, she was stunned.
"Help me wash these clothes today. Don't leave until you're done!”
The servant girl no longer had the warmth from before. The expression on her face had become vicious and ruthless.
"But…but this laundry room doesn't belong to me…"
"What, do you mean that you're not willing to help our Madam do these things?”
The servant girl had a sharp mouth and a vicious gaze. Lian Xin could not help but shrink.
"Lian Xin, you have to think carefully. Although your young miss is a princess consort, she is not favored in the wang fu. If my madam says anything about her in front of his highness…"
This servant girl should be a confidant of the Blue Luan. Her style of speaking and doing things was very similar to the Blue Luan.
Hearing her words, Lian Xin was worried that Situ Manyao would be implicated.
Without any hesitation, she sat down and started washing the pile of dirty clothes.
The temperature was already much lower, and with the wind blowing over, it made people feel even colder.
Lian Xin reached her hand into the cold water, and a bone-chilling chill spread from her hand to her entire body.
She couldn't help but shiver. She gritted her teeth and reached her hand in.
"At least you're tactful!"
The servant girl saw that Lian Xin had obediently started to wash the clothes. She chuckled in satisfaction and left.
Lian Xin sat there, feeling wronged. She hoped that Miss would come back soon. Suddenly, her right eye twitched.
Lian Xin's hands paused as she had a bad premonition.
"Did something happen to Miss?”
She muttered to herself and looked up at the sky. Although the sun was bright today, the wind was too strong and it made people feel cold.
Lian Xin forced herself to stop thinking and continued with her actions.
"Lian Xin, what are you thinking about? Miss only lost the opportunity to attend the emperor's birthday banquet, what could have happened?”
She muttered absentmindedly.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
