Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 176 Into the dust, worse than death

The maids let go of their hands, and Xu Jialan broke free. She picked up the embroidery painting that fell on the ground, and was in a dilemma.

At this moment, if Xu Jialan didn't tear it up, she would be guilty, and there might be a way out if she did it.

Xu Jialan used all her strength in her hands, and tore it on both sides with all her strength. The embroidery was pulled tightly by her, but it didn't split, and even a few threads didn't jump.

The maid next to it and the people on the side steps couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing. Unless it was inferior silk satin, with her strength, it would take a cut to tear it open.

Xu Jialan tried several times, but still didn't tear it open. Her face was as hot as fire.She finally understood that her calculations had fallen into Xu Jiatong's trap step by step.

First, he used Xu Jiaxing to dissuade her from asking the embroiderer for help, and then he resorted to tricks and asked her to exchange for a "fake" embroidery painting.This embroidered painting looks full of beautiful flowers, so she has no doubts about him, and she is not aware of and unwilling to notice the mystery in it...

"My queen, it's all my daughter's fault. My daughter is eager to win and is deceived..." Xu Jiatong finally knelt down and kowtowed to apologize. Same, she... I know what her embroidery skills are like, she must help, and she..."

Xu Jialan pointed at Xu Jiaxing and Xu Jiaqing who was still waiting on the side steps. Xu Jiatong was taken aback, but Xu Jialan started to bite, even Xu Jiaqing was not spared.

Xu Jiatong was not far away from her, she immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The good deeds you have done yourself have involved others. They are also surnamed Xu. To implicate them is to implicate Xu's family, implicate father, you want to put your last Is the escape route also blocked?"

Xu Jialan shoved her violently, and sternly said arrogantly: "The Xu family? I am the apple of the eye of the Xu family. Even if I take on the entire Xu family, the entire Ding'anhou residence, my father is willing!"

Qi Shanggong took a look at Xu Jiaxing's embroidery again, and asked the maid to bring her embroidery things, and asked her to try a few stitches on the spot.

"You come here too." Qi Shanggong called Xu Jiaqing to come up again, but after seeing her embroidery painting, she didn't even let her move the embroidery needle.

Xu Jiaxing's embroidery is half-truth and half-fake, Qi Shanggong doesn't intend to pursue it, and Xu Jiaqing's embroidery is very casual and ordinary, so there is no need to pursue it.

"Your two sisters are honest people, Xu Jialan, what should you do if you deceived the emperor first and slandered your own sisters later?" Qi Shanggong asked.

"You...you..." Xu Jialan didn't know what to say for a moment, the faces of Xu Jiaxing and Xu Jiaqing kept zooming in before her eyes, and she seemed to see them laughing at her together with Xu Jiatong.

They must have teamed up to harm her. Xu Jialan never thought that she would suffer such a big setback, and she even hated Xu Jiaxing and Xu Jiaqing.If she were a wild beast at this moment, she would definitely pounce on them and crush their bones.

Xu Jiaqing had been afraid just now, and she was even more frightened when she got to the high platform. She was immersed in her own panic, and did not notice Xu Jialan's change towards her at all.

Xu Jiaxing woke up from the panic, she probably felt that Xu Jialan could not turn over, she immediately jumped out and said: "Qi Shanggong, the elder sister of the minister should not have committed such a crime of deceiving the emperor, please think that she is the first offender, Plead for her."

The name was pleading, but he agreed with Xu Jialan's charge of deceiving the emperor. Xu Jiatong took a deep look at Xu Jiaxing.

This is a wolf, even more vicious than Xu Jialan, not only vicious, but also betrayal and betrayal.

When the wind blows, Xu Jiaxing can easily change course and bite back immediately in order to protect herself.

However, Xu Jiatong didn't intend to let Xu Jialan die. Xu Jialan was the only daughter of the Lin family. If she died, the Lin family would recklessly fight back. She still couldn't withstand the desperate blow.

"My lord queen, I am in a dilemma right now. As a woman from Datong, who came from a noble family, I know that you are very strict in supervising the ladies in the Western Capital, so that everyone can set a good example. My sister has ruined your plan now. , should be severely punished. As the fourth girl of the Xu family, seeing that my sister is not strong-minded, deceived by others, and acting impulsively, I am heartbroken, and I would like to ask you to forgive me. I don't know what to do, so I dare to ask you You took it lightly and punished it lightly, so that this round of gambling at the Palace Gate is still as famous as in previous years." Xu Jiatong begged for mercy.

Her words were already very bold, but she had to take a gamble.If the bet fails, she has already said her words of intercession, and she will be less likely to be talked about when she goes back.If she succeeds, in the eyes of Xu Xiaozu and Queen Wu, she will be different from the past.

Moreover, judging from Queen Wu's attitude towards her all the time, although it was inexplicable, she was sure that Queen Wu would not blame her.

Sure enough, Queen Wu asked: "According to what you said, if the palace punishes her severely, it will ruin the game of the palace gate?"

"Most of the people who come here to enter the game today are from high-ranking families. The queen made such an arrangement to make them a role model for women in the world. Let the women in Datong learn from them. Planting silkworms and weaving embroidery have far-reaching meanings, and let the palace gate The gambling game has become a grand ceremony of Datong. There may be twists and turns, or even taints, but generally speaking, the flaws must not be concealed before they can be praised by future generations. Punishing the family sister is a trivial matter, but let this incident affect the reputation of the palace gate gambling game, let When future generations think of these bad things when they mention this time, the loss outweighs the gain." Xu Jiatong raised his head, looked at Queen Wu, and then at Qi Shanggong.

"If you forgive her once today, she will definitely feel your kindness, and she can correct her mistakes if she knows her mistakes. You should also do good to accumulate blessings, and forgive her this time." Xu Jiatong knelt down and pleaded.

"Bold, Mr. Xu doesn't know how he raised you, but he ignores the queen and the majesty of Heaven so much." Qi Shanggong said angrily.

"Qi Shanggong, what she said is right. The palace will punish you for a small punishment today, according to what you said. Make Xu Jialan kneel on the side of the high platform until the game at the palace gate is over. Order the Ministry of Rites, Xu Jialan is not allowed to re-enter The Palace Gate Gambling Game is hereby dismissed." Queen Wu looked at Xu Jiatong and smiled, "This matter will not implicate you, and Xu Jiatong, Xu Jiaqing, and Xu Jiaxing will enter the second game."

"Thank you, Queen, for your kindness." The three of them thanked each other.

When the Ministry of Rites was ordered to remove the name, everyone couldn't help but trembled when they heard it, and some began to gloat.

You know, it's not just getting rid of the reputation of the Palace Gate Gambling Game, from now on, Xu Jialan's future will not be related to the high school, let alone want to climb up to King Xiang.In particular, this is the decree made by the empress herself, and if it is spread out, let alone the western capital, no matter how far away it is, she will no longer be decent.

"Xu Jialan, don't you want to thank you?" Queen Wu's voice became much lower, and the people serving on the left and right looked sideways.

"Thank you, lady, I obey the order." Naturally, Xu Jialan would not be convinced. She gritted her teeth to make her voice as calm as possible without any waves.

But Queen Wu said again: "If you continue to deceive righteousness and act unfilial and disrespectful, the Tian family, the Gao family and this Xidu will not tolerate you."

Xu Jialan lowered her head, and glanced at Xu Jialan who was ashen-faced without a trace, a small punishment and a big warning?This made her a hundred times more uncomfortable than killing her.

If you hit a snake with a seven-inch strike, you may not be able to hit it accurately, but if you are bitten back, it is better not to hit it.After enduring her for so long, she was finally able to win a round.
