Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 440 is not the time to be jealous

The Empress Dowager was obviously very satisfied with everyone's reaction. For so many years, the previous harem had criticized her and the Wang family.It's nothing more than a dislike for the humble origin of the Wang family.

The more this happened, the more she liked to see these people kneeling at their feet, wagging their tails like a domestic dog at her mercy.

Her Danfeng eyes raised slightly, and she asked again and again: "By the way, what did the princess want to say just now?"

Everyone's attention was instantly shifted to Zhao Xiwei's face.Who would have thought that the princess, who was envied by women all over the world just a moment ago, would become a laughing stock at this moment?

This person can't depend on his life!

Zhao Xi pinched his palm slightly to calm himself down as much as possible.

Now is not the time to be jealous.

The queen mother said this kind of thing, just to stimulate her to wait and see her cry endlessly.

If she said that she didn't have any thoughts in her heart, she would be lying.

But for some reason, she believed in Li Xuanye for no reason.

No need for evidence, no witnesses, let alone cross-examination, her instinct is to trust him.

Thinking about it from another angle, even if it's true... She shouldn't have any emotions!
In private, she could get angry with him and cry with him, but in front of everyone, she never forgot for a moment—he is the prince, and she is his princess.

The two of them, one loses and the other loses, and the other prospers.

Zhao Xiwei took a deep breath and raised his head.

"Your Majesty, I think this must be a misunderstanding!"

Facing the faces waiting to see the good show, she spoke calmly and firmly, "Miss Pei and Erchen are also friends. She has a slightly lively temperament, but she is also a well-known lady who is well-educated and sensible. She will never do such a thing." come!"

"Yes!" Mrs. Pei, who had been afraid to say anything, knelt down with her daughter-in-law, "The princess is right, this must be a misunderstanding!"

"Hmm..." the emperor nodded.

That Pei Cairen came back to his senses and said in surprise and anger, "Your Majesty! Someone must have framed this matter secretly, please Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly!"

Pei Zhenzhen is her natal niece, she once thought about sending her to the East Palace as a side concubine, but sending her there openly, and being together in such an unclear way are two different things!
If this matter is true, wouldn't their Pei family become the laughing stock of everyone!
"A thorough investigation?" The emperor pressed his fingers on his temples, his tone was a little tired, and he was no longer excited, "How about a thorough investigation?"

Pei Cairen gritted his teeth, and stared at the palace slave on the ground with hatred: "Of course, this lowly maidservant will be handed over to the imperial prison, and tortured until the person behind it is found out!"

"That's right!" The Queen Mother clapped her hands a few times, and said impatiently, "Then take her into prison and interrogate her!"

"Empress Dowager!" Zhao Xiwei was in a hurry, and stepped in front of the palace slave: "I have something to say!"

"Oh?" The Empress Dowager smiled with great interest, "You are such a serious child, you even speak for him for this sake."

"No!" Zhao Xiwei shook his head resolutely, denying her words: "This concubine is not speaking for someone, but I just believe in His Highness the Crown Prince!"

She turned to look at the palace slave, her tone suddenly became cold: "You said you are a palace slave?"

The palace servant was so frightened that he was paralyzed all over. Hearing someone questioning at this time, he subconsciously replied: "Yes."

"Your Highness you met in Yanying Hall?"

"Yes."

"Miss Pei's hair loose?"

"Yes……"

"The clothes are torn too?"

"..." The palace servant slightly raised his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Yes..."

"It's so dark, are you sure you can see clearly?"

"I..." The servant was flustered for a while, unable to answer.

Zhao Xiwei saw through the emotions in her heart, took another half step forward, leaned down slightly, and a sneer appeared on his lips: "You have to think carefully before answering, have you seen it clearly?"

"Slave..."

Facing such a pair of chilling eyes, the servant shuddered for no reason.

She opened her mouth, and felt parched for a moment, and it was difficult to breathe, like a fish half-dead from thirst.

Zhao Xiwei didn't give her a chance to think: "Since you are the most inferior palace slave, you must have no chance to see the prince every day, so how did you recognize him at a glance? Even if you could recognize His Highness, how did you recognize him at a glance?" You knew it was Miss Pei? There are so many women in this palace, why did you conclude it was her?"

He sneered, "I don't know, but you, a little palace slave, have piercing eyes!"

"Slave..." the palace slave muttered, "Slave has been in charge of several palace banquets, and every time Miss Pei attended the palace, she looked familiar..."

"Really?" Zhao Xi smiled, raised his sleeve and casually pointed at the banquet, and asked, "Then do you know her?"

The palace slave took a look boldly, with a dazed expression.

Zhao Xiwei casually pointed to another one: "Do you know him?"

"Slave..."

"What about this? You should know this, right?" Zhao Xiwei swipe his fingertips in the air and land on a red dress.

"I don't know!" The palace servant suddenly crouched down and said incoherently: "I can't remember so many..."

"That's a coincidence!" Zhao Xi smiled and said leisurely: "You can't remember so many people, but you just remember Miss Pei. It seems that there is really a destiny!"

"No, no, no!" The servant was anxious and frightened, "I didn't even recognize Miss Pei at the time, I heard Miss Pei say it herself!"

"She said Miss Pei is Miss Pei?" Zhao Xi smiled sarcastically, "Then I said that the one in red just now is Miss Pei, do you believe it or not?"

Gu Yuci turned his beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "Prince Princess really knows how to joke."

"I'm not joking!" Zhao Xi glanced at Gu Yuci, and suddenly said, "Cousin Aci's clothes are really gorgeous, where did they make them? I want to make a suit when I have time."

Gu Yuci was not a vegetarian either, so he smiled slyly: "The princess's clothes are all custom-made in the palace, so how can the vulgar goods on the market catch your eye?"

"That might be it." Zhao Xi's eyes lighted leisurely, "I'm tired of wearing custom-made clothes, and occasionally I want to wear the styles on the market!"

"Well..." Gu Yuci was taken aback for a moment, then covered his sleeves and coughed, feeling a bit speechless for a while.

Zhao Xiwei waited for her leisurely.

Everyone didn't understand, a palace slave bumped into the matter of the prince and the girl from the Pei family, but the princess only cared about Miss Gu's clothes, what was the song?
In the silence, the Queen Mother suddenly laughed.

"The princess is really open-minded. At this time, she still puts her mind on dressing up."

"but--"

She picked up the wine glass and shook it twice: "The crown prince is also going to add new people to the womb—" She glanced at the emperor again, "Ai Jia reminds you, the war in Xiliang is tense now, and it is time to employ people, so don't you It's chilling the hearts of the Pei family!"
