Empress Lin Ance

Chapter 24 23. A sycamore branch
**
East Palace.

Jiang Xuerou originally wanted to order someone to catch Chu Qingyan, but she didn't think that the other party was so strong that she avoided the slaps of four court ladies in a row.

"Little hoof, you dare to dodge, do you know who I am?"

Jiang Xuerou looked at this face angrily.

This woman looks so good, if the crown prince sees her for a while, she will definitely cause trouble.

It should be smashed!

"I heard they call you madam, are you the prince's new concubine?"

Chu Qingyan was forced to the other side of the gazebo by her, and if she went a little further inside, she would fall into the lake.

"How dare you scold me!" Jiang Xuerou pointed at her angrily, "Come on, throw her into the lake for me!"

The ladies in the palace were too tight, and they wanted to do it after listening to her words.

Calling her a concubine is scolding her?
Chu Qingyan thought it was funny, and said unhurriedly: "Believe it or not, if I were thrown into the lake by you today, you might want to move your head."

"What are you, you still dare to question Mrs. Ben, why don't you hurry up and give me your hands—"

"I see who dares!!"

On the other side of the gazebo, a rather imposing voice suddenly sounded.

Wang Pinting walked over with a cold face and a very dignified manner.

Jiang Xuerou was taken aback, and reluctantly wanted to salute her, "The concubine has seen the princess..."

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Everyone was shocked!

The princess, who was always graceful and magnanimous, unexpectedly gave Madam Xue three slaps in a row with full momentum! !
Three slaps were enough to make Jiang Xuerou dizzy. She was so slapped that she almost fell into the lake!
The cheeks became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Jiang Xuerou raised her head, looked at the princess in disbelief, and pointed at her unceremoniously, "Wang Pinting! How dare you hit me! Believe it or not, I asked the prince to divorce you—"

"A mere brothel girl, how dare you run rampant here?"

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Pinting snorted coldly, even if she hit someone arrogantly, she could still assume a graceful and luxurious posture.

Jiang Xuerou didn't recover, she was stopped by Wang Pinting's voice, and she fell to her knees in fright.

When she came back to her senses, she still thought about arguing, but was pushed down by the maid next to the princess.

"If I don't hit you, that's my generosity. If you attack again, that's not flattering you!"

"On weekdays, you can offend me, but today you dare to offend Princess Lin'an, what should you do?!"

Relying on the favor of the prince, Jiang Xuerou was not afraid of what Wang Pinting would do to her, until she heard the words "Princess Lin'an".

She raised her head in disbelief and looked at Chu Qingyan who was beside her, the tassels on her head were also crumbling, "Lin'an...princess?"

Chu Qingyan responded with a light smile, "I'm here."

In an instant, Jiang Xuerou only felt that the blood in her whole body was cold from head to toe.

Just now, she dared to call Princess Lin'an a little bitch, and even had someone throw her into the lake...

That is, Princess Lin'an, whom she didn't even dare to hear her name in the past!
She collapsed on the ground and looked at Wang Pinting as if asking for help, "Crown princess, the concubine didn't do it on purpose, the concubine just has blind eyes, absolutely dare not offend the princess..."

"You should explain these words to the prince yourself."

Wang Pinting was too lazy to entangle with her, and ordered someone to carry her back to the palace.

The palace people sighed for Jiang Xuerou, Madam Xue could not offend anyone, no one knew how much the crown prince valued his younger sister.

"Princess, the prince is still here for a banquet at Taiye Pond. I have already ordered someone to pack up the residence. Do you want to rest for a while?"

"Sister-in-law is polite, then Lin'an will thank sister-in-law."

Chu Qingyan nodded to her.

Speaking of which, Wang Pingting is the legitimate daughter of Wang Taifu. Chu Qingyan once fought against her father in court because of Pei Hua's marriage, but Wang Pingting didn't seem to be affected at all.

Her attitude has always been indifferent.

The two were about to move, when a young eunuch suddenly ran in the distance, "Wait a minute, princess...greetings, princess!"

The little eunuch was sweating from running, "Princess, Your Majesty is here to invite you! Envoy Yun Zhao wants to see you, and His Majesty specially ordered me to invite you—come out and dance!"

Chu Qingyan resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

"I'm exhausted, now my body..."

"Your Majesty said that you can see me even if you are sick, but you don't need to show your face, just cover your face like before and just dance a little." The little eunuch smiled.

According to His Majesty's original words, how can they deserve to see the face of the princess?
It's because His Majesty has the foresight, and he really knows the princess very well, even the words that the princess used to block him can be guessed clearly.

Chu Qingyan smiled lightly, she couldn't help turning her head away, her eyes rolled up to the sky.

The little eunuch was still a little worried, "Princess..."

"Let them go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and wait."

"Yes!"

The eunuch left very excitedly, and he was also sincerely happy to see his back.

Chu Qingyan wondered, as for it?

"The princess doesn't seem to be clear. That dance back then cut off the reputation of 'One Sword Frost and Cold Fourteen States'."

Wang Pinting looked at her with expectation.

"..."

……

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The crowd followed the Emperor Chu and came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a grand manner.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was originally a place for the emperor to receive envoys from various countries, so the hall is spacious and full of various dance instruments.

Mu Dan looked left and right and walked towards Huyan Xingchi, "It turns out that Dasheng's palaces look like this, how do they keep warm in winter, can these people clean it?"

"It's a pity that Ah Qing didn't come. He should come in and see how extravagant and corrupt this Dasheng is..."

Huyan Xingchi ignored his soliloquy, found a seat and sat down.

Opposite, Yun Qingchen sat down at the same time.

The two looked at each other, then moved away in unison.

"Your Majesty Chu, why haven't you seen that Princess Lin'an yet?"

While Yun Zhao was sitting at the table, Yun Yudai looked at the field with a proud attitude, with an air of dominance.

Hmph, she would like to see how this Princess Lin'an can surpass her Yun Yudai!

Emperor Chu gave an inscrutable smile.

Gao Ying, the chief eunuch next to him, suddenly said, "Don't worry, everyone, please wait a moment, the princess will soon—"

call--!
Before Gao Ying finished speaking, all the lights in the hall were suddenly extinguished, and several layers of black gauze fell from all sides, forming a closed square platform in front of everyone.

The black square platform is between the two rows of seats in the main hall, and everyone wants to peek into it, but they can't see through it.

"What is this?!" Yun Yudai snorted angrily.

Mu Dan also frowned and wanted to move forward, but Huyan Xingchi grabbed him back, "Be careful that your face will be shaved soon."

"Tch, how is it possible..."

Before the words were finished, flames shot up into the sky suddenly in the black gauze tent, and then the clouds disappeared and the rain fell, and a figure fell from above, and the strong wind rushed to the ground!

The black gauze swayed like a draft.

The person in the tent was wearing white clothes, which contrasted sharply with the black gauze, but he still couldn't see through the real content, holding a handle in his hand——

"Is she holding a sword?"

Mu Dan was surprised.

Huyan Xingchi shook his head.

"A sycamore branch."
