Chapter 123

"Who are you? You smashed the jade pendant of this princess, and you still kneel down and beg for mercy!"

Jade?

Song Baoling looked down at the jade pendant at his feet, and blinked suspiciously, "Is this jade pendant belonged to the princess? But I didn't..."

Before the words were finished, Princess Pingli suddenly reprimanded: "How dare you argue! You don't know what to do, you girl, do you want to say that this princess framed you?"

Song Baoling saw that this was clearly finding fault on purpose, thinking of Song Baichuan's advice when he came here, he could only bow his head and admit his mistake: "I know I was wrong, I hope the princess will forgive me."

Princess Pingli was a little surprised when she saw her admitting her mistake, but she heard from Song Baochai that this person was not only spoiled and rude, but also very tempered, how could he...

"This is the jade pendant given to me by the emperor's brother. You just want me to forgive you when you know your mistake. Are you really easy to provoke when you think of me as a princess?"

"This jade pendant is indeed precious, but it is broken. I wonder what the princess wants?"

"How? You smashed the jade pendant presented by the emperor's brother. This is already a crime of disrespect. This princess wants you to..."

"This matter has nothing to do with Linger."

A voice suddenly interrupted Princess Pingli, and Song Lianming slowly walked in front of several people, and then he pulled Song Baoling behind him.

"The minister just watched from the side. Ling'er has never touched the jade pendant. It has nothing to do with her that the jade pendant is broken. The princess can't use this to punish her."

When Princess Pingli saw his eyes, she was a little surprised, but seeing him defending Song Baoling so much, she couldn't help feeling a little anxious: "So you mean, I wronged her?"

"I don't think so, it's just that Ling'er has just come here, and the jade pendant has nothing to do with her."

After a pause, Song Lianming asked again: "I dare you, I don't know if the princess saw Ling'er break the jade pendant with her own eyes?"

Princess Pingli wanted to lose her temper subconsciously, but looking at Song Lianming's handsome face, she couldn't speak harsh words for a while.

"But she was the only one here just now, if she didn't break it, who else could it be?"

Song Baoling saw that she was a little out of breath, and didn't want to pretend to be stupid anymore, and said bluntly: "Princess, don't worry, in fact, as long as the princess takes a serious look, you can see where the minister's daughter is standing, and the direction where the jade pendant fell. It is impossible for a woman to touch the jade pendant."

"If the princess feels the same way, why not think about who else has the chance to meet the jade pendant besides you?"

Song Lianming had been observing the people around him. While Song Baoling was analyzing, he found that the maid beside Princess Pingli seemed a little nervous, so he took a closer look.

At this time, the maid suddenly took half a step back quietly, hiding her hands in front of her body as if afraid of being seen.

"Princess, I already know who broke your jade pendant."

As soon as the words fell, Song Lianming found that the maid was more nervous than before, so he believed in his guess even more.

"Second Young Master Song, don't just find someone to deceive the princess just to help your sister clear her suspicions."

"Princess, don't worry, I won't do such a thing."

After finishing speaking, Song Lianming walked up to the maid, "As long as she stretches out her hand, she will know the truth."

Princess Pingli's expression changed instantly, she turned to look at her maid, "You, stretch out your hand."

The maid turned pale with fright, Song Lianming saw that she was unwilling to stretch out her hand, so he gestured to the maid at the side with his eyes, and the maid stepped forward to grab her hand.

The maid's finger was wrapped with a strip of cloth, and after taking off the cloth strip, the wound on her finger that was cut by a sharp weapon appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Princess, please forgive me. This servant did not smash the jade pendant on purpose. This servant did not pay attention..."

The maid knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Princess Pingli wanted to take the opportunity to punish Song Baoling, but in the end she misunderstood him and was still in front of Song Lianming.

Looking at Song Lianming's gaze, even though the other party didn't say anything, Princess Pingli still felt extremely ashamed and angry.

"How courageous! You pretended to be ignorant of breaking this princess's things, and made this princess lose all face in public."

Princess Pingli kicked the maid, looked at Song Lianming angrily, then turned and left angrily.

After watching the group leave, Song Baoling moved to Song Lianming curiously, and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, are you and the princess old acquaintances?"

"I met you a few times when you came to the palace before, but you didn't say anything. Why did you suddenly ask?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that she looks at you differently."

"Why is it different?"

"Like...like you?"

Song Lianming was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Song Baoling in shock: "You little girl, it's about Princess Qingyu, you can't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense."

Song Baoling curled his lips arrogantly, seeing that he still wanted to educate himself, he quickly made a stop gesture: "I know, I know, I won't say such things in the future."

"You really have to take my words to heart, or you will get into trouble sooner or later."

"Okay, go and find your friends."

After persuading Song Lianming to leave, Song Baoling thought about wandering around before the banquet officially started, but he was targeted again.

"Sister Linger, I thought you wouldn't come."

Hearing the sound, Song Baoling raised his eyes and saw Jin Wanlin leading a group of official ladies walking towards her. He wanted to pretend to be deaf and avoid it, but Jin Wanlin's next sentence blocked her retreat.

"Everyone, this is the young daughter of the Xuanpinghou Mansion, and also the granddaughter of King Chengyang."

Jin Wanlin seemed to see that she intended to run away, and immediately came to her quickly, and then took her hand pretending to be familiar.

"Sister Ling'er, let me introduce you. These are the daughters of the court ministers. You should call them 'sisters' when you are young."

Song Baoling smiled slightly, and bowed to salute: "Ling'er has met all the sisters."

Seeing that she is cute, and because she is backed by Chengyang Palace and Xuanpinghou Palace, these officials are very enthusiastic towards her.

Seeing this, Jin Wanlin felt unwilling, and pretended to be casual and said: "By the way, I wonder if you have heard that the Holy Majesty once praised Sister Ling'er for being extremely intelligent, and even appreciated her very much."

As soon as these words came out, those "gentle and understanding" ladies from the official family suddenly changed their expressions, and even looked at Song Baoling with a hint of jealousy in their eyes.

Song Baoling is not a fool, he can see their thoughts at a glance, and Jin Wanlin, although she doesn't know why she did this, but her hostility towards him is real.

"At that time, the Holy Majesty was just making me happy when I was young. When it comes to intelligence, how can I compare to Sister Wanlin?"

"Sister Linger, don't be modest."

"Sister Wanlin, I'm not being humble. The Holy One really appreciates you. Otherwise, why would I marry you to my little uncle without considering other sisters?"

After Song Baoling finished speaking, he smiled slightly, turned around and left gracefully regardless of other people's jealous eyes.
