Pick up a princess

Chapter 416 Threat (23)

Shen Qing's hand holding the chopsticks stopped in mid-air, sensitively aware of everyone's secretive expressions, even though her heart was turbulent, she tried her best to pretend nothing had happened, picked up another piece of venison, and said indifferently: "Such festive news , I didn’t know! I wonder which daughter was favored by His Highness the Crown Prince?”

"Yes..." Ninth Prince Jing Ran just said a word, but was covered by the low cough of the eldest prince Feng Yu. He quietly looked at the unnatural expressions of the royal brothers, and felt a little slip of the tongue. He rubbed the back of his head. Hanhan smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, this is just a rumor in the palace! Besides, brother Huang loves sister-in-law so much, if he really wants to marry a side concubine, he must be the first to tell sister-in-law..."

The more she said, the more something went wrong, and even Shen Qing, who was pretending to be innocent, became more and more rigid.The Eighth Prince Xiyan secretly pinched Jing Ran, signaling him to stop talking nonsense.

"Jing Ran always likes to talk nonsense, brothers and sisters don't mind..." Feng Yuyun, who has always been seldom talkative, said calmly, trying to ease the somewhat stiff atmosphere. "Some maids and eunuchs in the palace like to spread rumors indiscriminately. I must have heard those rumors."

"Actually, I..." Jing Ran was about to argue, but was frightened by Hongxuan's cold stare, lost all momentum, lowered his head and stopped talking.For the prince, he has always been more in awe than kindness.But he wasn't talking nonsense at all, some things he accidentally heard from his concubine mother!

"The wine is gone, add some more!" Xi Yan shook the empty jug and ordered Cai'er, Cai'er was also worried about the reaction of the Crown Princess, hearing that the First Prince and the Eighth Prince wanted to divert everyone's attention, He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and when he was about to re-warm the wine, he still looked at Shen Qing worriedly.

"It's rare to be in a good mood today, Brother Huang, how about we come here without getting drunk?" Xi Yan poured a full glass of wine for Feng Yu Hongxuan and Jing Ran, and when he was about to put down the jug, a The empty wine glass suddenly stretched out.

Xi Yan looked up at the expressionless Shen Qing in surprise, and asked hesitantly: "Sister-in-law, this..."

Shen Qing raised her eyebrows, also wanting to get rid of the boredom in her chest, she smiled and asked: "Didn't you say you won't go home if you're not drunk?"

"I heard that the emperor's sister-in-law has been unwell recently, so I'm afraid she can't drink like this..." Although Xi Yan said so, from the corner of his eyes, he saw that Prince Hongxuan was already frowning, and a playful smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.
