Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 235 Questioning
When Xia Zijin heard the words of the princess, her movements were still fluent, and she did not show the panic she imagined.

According to common sense.Xia Zijin is of the same generation as Xia Qin and the Crown Princess, so she should be honored as the Crown Princess' eldest sister-in-law, but in this situation, there is really no need for her to make a move because of the seniority ceremony.

No wonder when she received this hairpin from Xia Shengqing's entrustment, she deeply felt that the style was like a woman's, and it turned out to be owned by the princess.

At this time, several people nearby looked over following the words of the crown princess.And the fourth concubine, Shi Shiran, got up, twisted her waist and walked to Xia Zijin's side, and said softly: "Princess Mingzhu, can I ask you, is this enamel-dotted green hairpin on your head from?" Where did you come from?"

The fourth prince's concubine's voice was neither loud nor soft, and it happened to attract the eyes of the people on the opposite side.Fortunately, Ming Shengdi was discussing matters with people, so he didn't look this way.But from the looks of it, the four princes and concubines seemed to want to gather everyone's eyes in the hall to watch the show.

Xia Zijin swallowed a kumquat in his hand and chewed it, then wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief unhurriedly.

"The fourth prince's concubine's question is interesting. Since it is something worn on this princess's head, it naturally belongs to this princess. Where did the saying "from where" come from?"

"You..." The fourth concubine's tone paused, and then she looked back at the concubine, it was clear that the two of them had spoken clearly just now, why did Princess Mingzhu seem to have not listened to a word, and her tone was so righteous.

Xia Zijin glanced lightly at the meeting of eyes between the two of them, and then shifted his gaze to Xia Qin's face, only to see Xia Qin sitting upright, holding the wine glass in one hand, sipping the liquid in the glass lightly and But the delicate eyes looked towards this side, and there was a sly smile on his lips.

Xia Zijin sneered in his heart. Xia Qin really knew what he, the princess, was doing, but he didn't stop him at all, but let her do it at will.

Everyone in the world said that one should have a generous heart to help the world and love the people as a heir to the throne, but although Xia Qin is a prince this time, he doesn't have the magnanimity that a heir should have.

According to her status, she is his younger sister, but this prince not only harmed him repeatedly, but now he connives at his own princess and concubine's farce, which is really not on the stage.

The atmosphere didn't remain stalemate for long, and the princess stepped out on her own, and walked up to Xia Zijin with nonchalant steps.

The princess was born very tall, and it was a bit abrupt to match the prince's thin body.At this time, the princess looked down at Xia Zijin arrogantly, and said in a high-pitched voice.

"Princess Mingzhu, as your elder sister-in-law, this concubine shouldn't have said anything harsh to you, but the enamel Diancui on your head is a relic of my concubine's mother."

"I don't know how this thing got on the princess's head, but when I came all the way, except for meeting the princess once on the road, I didn't see anyone else. Now the hairpin disappeared for no apparent reason, and it fell into another place. On the head of the princess..."

"To put it bluntly, it's a bit of a coincidence. We are both members of the royal family and belong to the same generation. It's better not to explain some things too clearly. We just know it well in our hearts."

What the princess said undoubtedly meant that Xia Zijin had stolen her hairpin.Although the enamel-dotted emerald hairpin is indeed unparalleled in luxury, but Xia Zijin is also a princess of the dynasty anyway, so there is really no need to do such stealing things.

Facing the aggressive words of the princess, Xia Zijin just smiled indifferently, and raised her skirt to face the princess.

"The princess's words are strange. This princess has never met you today, so why did she take your things? What's more, this princess is the imperial daughter of a dynasty. I have never seen any gold, silver, jewelry, jade rings and hairpins. But, father has never treated you harshly to this princess, is it questioning father's treatment of this princess?"

On one side is the majestic and majestic Crown Princess in red, and on the other is Xia Zijin, gracefully dressed in water blue.The two women stared at each other silently, but it was really hard to tell which was right and which was wrong.

The princess did not expect that Xia Zijin would be so difficult to deal with.If ordinary people were questioned by such words, they would already be in a hurry to argue.But this Xia Zijin has a very thick skin, after hearing her and the fourth concubine's accusations, not only did she not show a trace of timidity, but her demeanor became more and more calm.

"Is Princess Mingzhu planning to deny it?" The Crown Princess squinted at her, showing hostility towards Xia Zijin in her eyes.

It was this woman who harmed Xia Qin so badly. If Xia Zijin and Xia Shengqing hadn't joined hands to lower Xia Qin's impression in Ming Shengdi's heart, then why would Xia Qin sink in his prince's mansion? , How can you neglect yourself.

All of this is thanks to Xia Zijin, if she doesn't give Xia Zijin a look today, how can she afford her status as a princess.

"My concubine also understands that it would be embarrassing for Princess Mingzhu to admit such a thing, but Princess Mingzhu, if you really like this concubine's enamel-dotted emerald hairpin, tell me, it is not impossible for me to give it to the princess. But the behavior of not asking about it is undoubtedly stealing, and no one can accept it."

Xia Zijin listened to her rather provocative words, and what the Crown Princess said attracted the attention of everyone including Ming Shengdi.

At the banquet surrounded by beautiful singing and dancing, the two of them were standing in the corner of the banquet and arguing without so many people paying attention, but now the whole palace is looking at her and the two of them.

Ming Shengdi was talking with the empress, when he saw the dispute between the two at the end, his cloudy eyes looked through the figures of the people in the hall, and forgot to go there.

"Princess, what are you fighting over there?"

Now that the Ming emperor has spoken, then this matter has risen to the surface.

The concubine's eyes beamed with joy. If Ming Shengdi came to watch this matter, then Xia Zijin's face would be lost tonight.If she was a princess of the first dynasty but had a reputation for dirty hands and feet, then it would definitely be difficult for her to move an inch in this palace in the future, and everyone would scold her.

Thinking of being able to get revenge on Xia Zijin, the princess was very happy, and her face was a bit more determined, and she pretended to imprint a seal on the corner of her eye with a handkerchief, and half-blessed herself towards Ming Shengdi, feeling wronged Make a sound.

"Returning to my father, I didn't have any disputes with Princess Mingzhu. It's just that Princess Mingzhu took the belongings of my mother's mother. I just mentioned a few words, but Princess Mingzhu denied it." !"

"Originally, as the elder sister-in-law, Erchen really shouldn't care about Princess Mingzhu, but that thing is a relic of Erchen's mother, which is of extraordinary significance, and Erchen cherishes it very much. If it is so casually taken away by Princess Mingzhu , then the spirit of Erchen's mother in heaven may not rest in peace."

After finishing speaking, the crown princess sighed again, and turned her gaze to Xia Zijin, the grievance and embarrassment that was still on her face just now disappeared completely, replaced by provocation and pride.

Ming Shengdi frowned, the Crown Princess clearly meant that Xia Zijin stole her things.Anyway, Xia Zijin is the princess in the palace, if she really does this, it will affect the reputation of the royal family of Dalai.

"Zijin, what do you say about this?"

In this situation, everyone's eyes were on Xia Zijin.Half of the people naturally didn't believe that she would do something sneaky as a princess, while the other half were looking for a good show.

"Father, although the hall is brightly lit, the eyes of the Crown Princess don't seem to be very good. Even in such a bright place, you can see poorly. My son is just sitting obediently in the hall. The Crown Princess and the Fourth Prince Concubine When they came up, they pointed at the son-in-law and said that the son-in-law took their things. Although the son-in-law has only been in the palace for a short time, he also knows what is etiquette and shame, and what is the way of being a human being. What the crown princess said The son-in-law is absolutely unable to do it."

Seeing this, the fourth concubine went up to Ming Shengdi Fushen and said: "Father, I know that this daughter's family has a thin face, but the enamel-dotted green hairpin on Princess Mingzhu's head is clearly the relic of the Crown Princess' mother. I have seen it twice, even if His Highness the Crown Princess is wrong, how can I be wrong if my son and Princess Mingzhu are sitting close together?"

The two parties insisted on their own words, and the princess's side was aggressive, and she insisted on accusing Xia Zijin of pleading guilty. With a desperate momentum.

"The words of the Crown Princess and the Fourth Prince's Concubine are different. The little thing on this princess's head is only worth a few dozen taels of silver. There is no such thing as precious. The left and right sides are not real enamel, but opal instead. The mother of the crown princess seems to be a first-class wife, so how could she give such a small thing as a keepsake to the crown princess."

Want to use this trick to avoid being framed by her?

The Crown Princess sneered, this girl is really smart, it's just that it's not that easy to get out if she falls into her hands.

"Princess Pearl, how can you tell nonsense with your eyes open, the hairpin ring on your head is clearly enamel Diancui, this princess wears it on your head every day, do you still remember the relics of your mother wrongly?
Ming Shengdi's complexion was not good at this time, he had already drank too much Baihua Niang, and his mind was a little dizzy. At this moment, his head hurt because of the noisy words of the Crown Princess, so he turned towards Xia Zi slightly angrily. Jin waved his hand and said, "Zijin, since the Crown Princess said you took her things, you should honestly tell me whether you took them or not."

If Xia Zijin admitted that she had taken something, her image in Emperor Ming's heart would be greatly reduced, not to mention how people inside and outside the palace would think of her.
