Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 257 The Broken Porcelain Cup

After a long time, the hall became quiet.Only then did Concubine De break the silence, and said with a smile: "Miss Qin's "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" really amazed everyone, even Bengong was engrossed in it after listening to it."

"My daughter, I would like to thank Empress Concubine De for her praise." Qin Yu stood up gracefully and replied.

Concubine De didn't mention Xuanyuan Jue at all, as if the other party didn't play with Qin Yu at all.Then, she praised Qin Yu casually, and said: "The konghou in front of you has been collected by the palace for many years. It has never had a suitable owner. I will reward you after listening to Miss Qin's music today." .”

"My daughter, I would like to thank Empress Defei for the reward." Qin Yu accepted the reward calmly.As the prostitute of An Guogong's mansion, she doesn't have any rare items.The musical instrument she is best at is the harp, and there are not many in the family's collection.And her brothers, whenever they come across a rare and precious konghou, they will send it to her like a treasure.

Concubine De's reward represented the emperor's intention, no matter how much it was worth, Qin Yu would accept it with a smile.She slowly walked back to her seat, when she passed by Xuanyuan Jue, she deliberately paused, pretending to glance at him casually.

Just taking a glance, Qin Yu's heart beat like thunder.She quickened her pace and sat down in her seat, but she couldn't control her heartbeat.

Xie Siru has been watching Qin Yu's every move, and seeing the way the other party looks at Xuanyuan Jue, he knows that there is something to do.But this time, she wisely didn't speak.She wants to wait for the opportunity, and she must not let Qin Yu enter the East Palace!

After Qin Yu's performance ended, Concubine De ordered several people to perform.But with Qin Yuzhuyu in front, the response was mediocre.

And Xuanyuan Ming also observed that Qin Yu looked at Xuanyuan Jue with unusual eyes, and couldn't help but get angry.So he stopped talking to Qin Yu.Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Ming didn't speak, and Qin Yu didn't take the initiative to find him, let alone explain anything.

After waiting for several people to finish the show, Xuanyuan Ming finally couldn't hold back anymore. He tried his best to look calm, leaned towards Qin Yu and said, "Miss Qin, I haven't returned from your song until now. Come on, it's so beautiful!"

Qin Yu didn't know how many times he had heard such compliments.She didn't show any joy because the person who complimented her was Xuanyuan Ming.She sat down towards Xie Siru without showing any signs, and then responded lightly.

"Thank you for your compliment, His Royal Highness." Qin Yu smiled.

Seeing Qin Yu's perfunctory smile, Xuanyuanming suddenly felt depressed and jealous.He said ambiguously: "Miss Qin's words are off the mark, and I'm also praising my own people."

Although Qin Yu understood Xuanyuan Ming's implication, he was disdainful in his heart.Although the emperor intends to point her to Xuanyuan Ming as the crown prince, it depends on whether she is willing or not.Xuanyuanming, who had removed the halo of the prince, disappeared from everyone.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu turned his head and looked at Xuanyuan Jue not far away.She only saw the other person's side face, and her heart pounded like a deer, but Xuanyuan Jue kept staring in one direction, but she didn't know what she was looking at.

"What is Miss Qin looking at?" Xuanyuan Ming noticed Qin Yu's abnormality.

Qin Yu replied gently and politely: "My daughter is just looking at it casually."

Xuanyuan Ming couldn't help but be disappointed, Qin Yu's answer was really repulsive, he couldn't help feeling a little frustrated, just take Xuanyuan Jue and her ensemble "Spring River Flower and Moon Night" just now, for example, if it was an ordinary woman, she would have She explained it to him with trepidation, but Qin Yu couldn't, not only did she not explain, but she was also very calm.

Of course, Xuanyuan Ming knew that Qin Yu and Xuanyuan Jue were innocent, so he would not doubt anything.He knew that Xuanyuan Jue must have deliberately played it for himself, so he played with Qin Yu.This account will be settled in the future!
"Miss Qin, this banquet is coming to an end. I don't know when will we meet next time?" Seeing that the banquet is coming to an end, Xuanyuanming thought that he must get in touch with Qin Yu more, no matter what the purpose was, It doesn't matter whether you please An Guogong or a beauty, it's all very good.

See you next time?Qin Yu thought that it was best not to meet again. Due to the identity of the other party, she agreed every time, which was very tiring.Thinking of this, Qin Yu pretended to be stupid and said, "Isn't it good to let everything go by fate?"

Xuanyuan Ming still did not give up, and said: "Miss Qin, fate is also up to you to fight for. However, we should be destined by heaven, shouldn't we?"

"His Royal Highness is joking." Qin Yu chuckled, extremely embarrassed.

Xuanyuan Ming's face turned ugly, the meaning of his words was already very clear, even a fool could understand it.But he still didn't let Qin Yu go, and continued: "In a few days, my palace will hold a banquet at the house, I wonder if Miss Qin would like to come?"

"In a few days?" Qin Yu was very repulsed to have more contact with the prince, and politely refused: "My daughter shouldn't reject His Royal Highness's kindness... It's just... my mother is not feeling well recently, and my daughter may not be able to leave ..."

Xuanyuan Ming's patience was almost exhausted by Qin Yu. He was about to use his identity to overwhelm others. It just so happened that the banquet was about to end. Concubine De was talking about the scene, but was interrupted by Xuanyuan Jue.

"Father, my son has something to say!" Xuanyuan Jue seemed to be patient for a long time, and finally stood up suddenly like a volcanic eruption.

The emperor obviously didn't expect Xuanyuan Jue to come, but he put on a doting look and asked, "Oh, what do you want to say?"

Xuanyuan Jue paused for a moment, then looked at Xie Wanqing again.This time, Xie Wanqing finally looked at him.

"Wan'er, this..." Xian'an also couldn't understand what Xuanyuan Jue was doing.

But Xie Wanqing knew very well that Xuanyuan Jue still wanted to go her own way and ask the emperor for a marriage.She shook her head desperately, hoping that the other party would give up this opportunity.

"Why doesn't the emperor speak?" The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Jue with a smile, but his eyes were clear.He knew his son too well, and usually he would not stand up at such a time.

Xuanyuan Jue no longer looked at Xie Wanqing, but was about to speak out what was in his heart.

All eyes were on Xuanyuan Jue, including Qin Yu's.She looked at Xuanyuan Jue, who was tall and tall, standing on the main hall, covering her body with all the light.

"I have one thing, I hope..."

Before Xuanyuan Jue could finish speaking, he heard a clear and crisp sound of porcelain cups breaking in the quiet hall.Everyone noticed Xie Wanqing again, and saw that the other party hurriedly stood up, bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, my servant is at fault!"

He moved hurriedly, but his voice was calm.The emperor looked at Xie Wanqing coldly.Ever since the other party insisted on retiring the engagement with the prince, he had expressed a lot of dissatisfaction with this girl.I thought that Xie Wanqing was as gentle and docile as ordinary women, but after all, she was too strong and too smart, which violated Xuanyuan Zhen's taboo, and Xuanyuan Zhen didn't like women who were too smart.

"Why are you so reckless?" It was just a porcelain cup, if it was someone else, he would definitely not blame anything.But this person was Xie Wanqing, but he suddenly didn't want to let him go easily.

Xie Wanqing still said neither humble nor overbearing: "My daughter accidentally broke the porcelain cup, please punish me by the emperor!"

"He is responsible. Why don't you just clean up this porcelain cup." Suddenly, the eldest princess who was sitting at the side interrupted.She is a princess from the first line, and she is quite favored by the emperor, so naturally she dared to intervene.

The emperor didn't bother to say anything more: "Okay."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was talking about it, even Concubine Cui Gui, who had been silent all this time, had an ugly expression: "Your Majesty, is this punishment too severe? Wan'er is just a girl's family, and it wasn't intentional."

The eldest princess smiled ironically, and said unceremoniously: "However, if you ask her to put away the porcelain cup, it will be regarded as a heavy punishment? This porcelain cup belongs to the palace, that is, the emperor's belongings. Breaking the emperor's belongings is not enough. Punishment is nothing."

Concubine Cui Guifei's face turned pale, she didn't expect the eldest princess to be so good at turning right from wrong.

Xie Wanqing didn't panic, she still straightened her body and said: "Is it the king's land in the whole world? In this way, the things that everyone accidentally smashed belong to the emperor? According to the princess's words, don't the people present here never Didn't break anything?"

"You are talking too much!" The eldest princess did not expect Xie Wanqing to be so sharp-tongued.

Xie Wanqing ignored the Eldest Princess and said to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, it is true that I was wrong to break this porcelain cup, and I will not pass the fault on to others. Therefore, I am willing to do as the Eldest Princess said, The porcelain cups are cleaned up. I just hope that the emperor will calm down and not be affected by the fault of the courtier's daughter."

When Xie Wanqing said these words, even the emperor couldn't say anything, but he was a little annoyed, and the eldest princess interrupted, so that he couldn't make trouble anymore.

After Xie Wanqing thanked her, she began to pack up the pieces of the porcelain cup under the scornful eyes of everyone.Looking at this scene, Xuanyuan Jue felt extremely distressed.If it wasn't for him, Wan'er wouldn't have to suffer these grievances at all!

He decided to go over desperately and clean up the pieces with Wan'er.Even if you lose face, you have to lose face together.

But where would Xie Wanqing give Xuanyuan Jue a chance to come over? She picked up a fragment and put it directly on her wrist.Then, he looked at Xuanyuan Jue firmly.

Xuanyuan Jue understood in an instant that Wan'er was going to threaten him with her own life?

"Emperor, don't you have something to say?" After all this, the emperor probably guessed that Xuanyuan Jue's words might have something to do with Xie Wanqing.

Xuanyuan Jue's heart was gloomy for a while, and after hearing the emperor's question, he came back to his senses, and said some compliments without expressing his meaning.But no matter what was said, it missed the point.

Qin Yu watched all this silently, seeming to understand something.But her eyes kept following Xuanyuan Jue, which made Xuanyuan Ming next to her very dissatisfied.

"Miss Qin, it's better not to look at people who shouldn't be looked at." Xuanyuan Ming's patience is limited, seeing that Qin Yu doesn't give him face, he doesn't want to give Qin Yu face either.

Qin Yu withdrew his gaze, and still responded to Xuanyuanming lightly, without leaking any words.
