Fortune Princess

Chapter 143 Gossip
In the imperial study room, Huo Ting and Xiao Qixing were fighting with red faces and thick necks. The two stared at each other and refused to give in. It was useless for the eunuch to persuade Huo Ting next to him. .

"Master Hou, it is a great thing for the emperor to accept Mr. Jingyi as his adopted son. No matter how many people squeeze their heads, they will not be able to ask for it. Mr. Jingyi is your blood. The emperor loves him so much, and he is very happy with Mr. Jingyi." And it won't do any harm." Persuading him earnestly, the eunuch couldn't understand why Marquis Zhenyuan couldn't turn his head around.

"Huh, it's not rare!" Huo Ting didn't appreciate it, he didn't even look at the eunuch, and clasped his fists together: "I heard that the emperor recruited my ministers to the palace to inquire about the military parade. I ask the emperor to put down the military parade." Everything is arranged smoothly, if there is nothing else, I will leave now!" Before Xiao Qixing could speak, Huo Ting turned around and left the imperial study.

Huo Ting came and went quickly, and he didn't see a sack on the ground from the beginning to the end.

"Your majesty..." The eunuch carefully observed the emperor's expression on the side, and saw that he was so livid that he dared not go forward. The entire Wei Dynasty was as rude as Lord Hou dared to be with the emperor. However, these slaves became fish in the pond. The emperor who is not serving you well should be more careful.

"Your Majesty, you know the temper of Master Hou, he is just so stubborn..." I was thinking of saying a few more good words to prevent the Emperor from getting angry.

Xiao Qixing with a sullen face waved his hands: "I think Jing Yi likes this kid, that's why I made this proposal. If you don't want it, forget it. I don't lack sons!" Just reward that kid alone in the future.

"The emperor is wise." Seeing that the emperor didn't mind that much, the eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and quickly complimented him.

Let the eunuch retreat, and the imperial study returned to silence.Xiao Qixing pondered for a moment, then looked at the sack in the corner.This matter is of great importance, and Xiao Qixing is not going to hand it over to Huo Ting or Guan Junzhong.The assassination involving a foreign race was aimed at him, and all the people involved were untrustworthy, including Huo Ting and Guan Jun who fought with him.

At the beginning of the construction of Bingma Division, both Huo Ting and Guan Jun had seen the construction blueprints, and the secret passages in them were clear.Although that child Jing Yi is young, he looks at things objectively.It can quietly hide gunpowder in the Bing Ma Si overnight without anyone noticing.This person must know everything about soldiers and horses, so both Huo Ting and Guan Jun are suspects. Before the matter is clarified, they are all suspects.

Whether it was interrogation or gunpowder, Xiao Qixing decided to deal with it secretly.

"Speechless."

As soon as the words fell, a black figure flashed out, and a man in black knelt in the middle of the imperial study hall and saluted respectfully.

"Put this person in secret for interrogation, remember, don't kill him."

"Yes!" No words answered.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Xiao Qixing unconsciously caressed the beads on his wrist with his fingers, his mind spinning rapidly.What Chen'er told Jing Yi was right, with such a good opportunity, only by catching a turtle in the urn can all the people behind the scenes be wiped out.

He dared to collude with foreigners in the capital for rebellion. No matter who it was, he would never let go of such a rebellious act!

Hook up your fingers, let Wu Yan come closer, whisper a few words in his ear, and let him leave with the sack on his shoulders.

Contrary to the depressing atmosphere in the imperial study room, all the noble ladies in the imperial garden gathered around a woman who looked fifteen or sixteen years old and wore a goose yellow skirt because of a word.

"Is what you said true?" The woman in a light green skirt asked shyly, covering her slightly open mouth with a round fan embroidered with exquisite patterns.

Although Mu Mengyao was a little unhappy to be robbed of the limelight, but she was also curious about what kind of person the handsome young man who followed His Royal Highness was. She secretly looked at the woman in the goose yellow skirt and vaguely remembered that she seemed to be from Jing Zhaoyin's family. Meng Qianqian, the second daughter of the first wife.

Meng Qianqian's oval face was a little blushing because she suddenly became the focus of everyone, and the smug look in her eyes flashed away.

"Well, I also heard it by accident. I don't know if you know about the famous Baixiang Tower in the capital before? It is said that Mr. Huo is a frequent visitor there, and it is because of a young man who fought with others and caused trouble. There was a lot of movement. I also heard that he was the guest of many red-card girls in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion." This kind of words made her lower her head shyly, as if she was too ashamed to say it, if it wasn't for a few people to ask , she definitely won't talk about it.Her father is Jing Zhaoyin, although in terms of rank, Jing Zhaoyin's official position is not low, but in the capital where the prince is always the prince, Jing Zhaoyin is no different from a sesame official, no one can be offended from the existence.

Her father even didn't recommend her to participate in the draft, but she would never want to marry a scholar or a rich man in the capital for the rest of her life.She thinks she looks good, since she has such a good opportunity, why not give it a try, if she can enter the prince's mansion, the whole Meng family will rely on her to make a fortune, and no aunt will dare to bully her mother again.

Her mother is obviously the main wife, but because she gave birth to two daughters, she has been ignored by her husband's family.Under the strong pressure of his grandmother, his father brought two or three concubines into the mansion, just to give birth to a boy for the Meng family.Maybe her mother really didn't have the life to have a son, and the concubines who entered the mansion gave birth to three sons one after another.However, her mother was injured after giving birth to her and could no longer have children.

If the father hadn't been obsessed with his reputation, he might have given up his main wife a long time ago according to his grandmother's wishes, and promoted the concubine who gave birth to the eldest son to be his main wife.The eldest sister got married three years ago, and she just found a son to marry, and her life after marriage was not satisfactory.

She doesn't want to live that kind of life like her elder sister, so she will do whatever it takes to enter the royal family, even if it is a concubine, she is willing to do so.

"Ah! How is this? How can such a person with no morals deserve to stand with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"That is to say, with just a skin, it turns out that such a lowly person would feel dirty even after looking at it."

"I heard that he lived a precarious life with his mother outside, and only returned to the Hou's mansion later. Perhaps it was because of this that he was infected with such a low-level problem."

……

Ladies, every word you say to me is all words of disgust towards Jing Yi.Mu Mengyao, who had been silent all this time, saw their disgust and agreed with her in her heart.

Xiao Yichen was like a god in her heart, and she would never allow such a man to follow His Highness the Prince and affect His Highness' reputation.

While a few noble ladies were whispering, a servant girl from the palace came to pay her respects and bowed generously: "Ladies and gentlemen, the banquet is about to begin. Ladies and gentlemen, you are chatting with the empress dowager. Ladies and gentlemen, you can go to the empress dowager." Please."
