The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

Yan Qiulan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the ninth princess standing next to the queen. There was a smile on her lips that was sure to win. Just now she noticed that the Ninth Princess no longer wore a jade pendant around her waist, which meant that she had not noticed that the jade pendant was missing. The Queen attaches great importance to manners and rules, and she will soon find out that the Ninth Princess does not have a jade.

According to the temper of the Ninth Princess, she would definitely think that it was Xue Mingyue who had a conflict with her, and the Queen would definitely order someone to search her body.

By then, everyone will get the spoils, and even if she, Xue Mingyue, has ten mouths, she can't explain it clearly.

Let’s see how she can survive in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion!

·

On the stage, seeing the angry look of the ninth princess, the queen couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Just now, she had a clear view of the lawsuits that she frequently looked at Dingyuanhou in the audience. Originally, she and His Majesty had indeed planned to give Xiao Jiuxu to Dingyuanhou. There was a rule in this dynasty that a consort could not serve as an official. This can also prevent Dingyuan Hou from taking military power again.

Unexpectedly, if such an accident happened, the marriage would come to nothing.

The queen smiled, held her hand, patted it, and said intentionally: "Today, many handsome young men from various families are coming to the banquet. Xiaojiu, you are about the same age. You can choose one among these people first." .”

"Mother, I don't look down on them."

"How can those crooked melons and cracked dates compare to brother Jinglan? Anyway, I won't marry if I can't marry brother Jinglan." The ninth princess muttered in a low voice.

"You silly boy, how can you not marry?"

The queen looked at her acting like a little girl and shook her head helplessly. Her eyes fell on her empty waist. She took off a jade pendant from her body and handed it to her. She said with a smile: "Remember to wear the jade pendant next time you go out. Your majestic princess will go out without any trouble." There is nothing about Peiyu that would make people laugh."

"I have a piece of jade, and it's the one my father gave me on my last birthday!"

The Ninth Princess was a little confused.

She looked down and found that her waist was indeed empty, with no trace of the jade pendant.

"Queen Mother, I really wear a jade pendant! It is my favorite piece of jade pendant. I even had red tassels braided on it specially to coordinate with today's sword dance. It was still there when I went to the apse! How could it be missing? It’s over!”

Seeing how anxious she was, the queen comforted her and said:

"Don't worry, maybe it was lost on the road. I ordered someone to look for it."

Soon, the palace maids searched the inside and outside of the palace twice along the road, but still could not find the jade pendant.

The Ninth Princess bit her lip anxiously. She had not been anywhere else today. She was still playing with the jade pendant on the way to Huayang Palace. There was no chance of losing it! Suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and said: "Queen Mother, someone must have stolen her!"

"What was stolen?"

The emperor's face was serious.

...

Xue Mingyue took a sip of the sake in the cup.

Out of the corner of her eye, she was always paying attention to the movements of the Queen. After seeing the anxious look on the Ninth Princess's face, she knew that the jade pendant had been lost and exposed. She lowered her eyes and drank the sake in one gulp, with a slight smile in her eyes.

Xie Lang also noticed the movement of the queen sending people in and out.

He slowly rubbed his knuckles with his fingers, his eyes darkening slightly.

At this time, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the person next to him with slightly curved eyes, showing a little bit of cunning that he was all too familiar with, like a little fox who had successfully set a trap.

Xie Lang paused slightly and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

It didn't take long for the palace ladies to pour into the palace and stop next to the ladies at each table. The officials who were drinking and drinking couldn't help but were stunned and looked at each other. Someone stood up and asked: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

The emperor said solemnly: "Nothing happened. It's just that Xiaojiu's jade pendant was lost in the back hall. It's just a routine search of the family members present."

The ninth princess lost her jade pendant, so why was she searched?

Xie Lang frowned when he heard this, thinking of the conflict that took place in the front and back halls not long ago. Did he suspect that Mingyue had stolen her jade pendant?

But judging from Ming Yue's expression, she must have known about this.

Yan Qiulan tried her best to suppress the smile on her lips, with a look of pride on her brows and eyes. When she saw the Ninth Princess walking aggressively to Xue Mingyue's table, she couldn't hide the smile at all.

Yan Qiulan's eyes drifted forward and she exchanged a proud look with the man.

A palace maid also stopped beside Xue Mingyue.

When the palace maid was about to search her, Xie Lang stood up with a cold face and stopped her.

The Ninth Princess was furious, stared at her and asked, "Tell me, did you steal my princess's jade pendant?"

Xue Mingyue shook her head calmly: "No."

"You still don't admit it! My princess's jade pendant was still on her body when we were in the back hall. Only you and I had a dispute at that time, and you were the only one who was closest to me. You must have taken advantage of the chaos and stole my princess's jade pendant!"

Xie Lang said in a deep voice: "The matter has not yet been decided, princess, be careful what you say."

"Brother Jinglan, you are still helping her! That is my favorite jade pendant! Who else would steal my things except her!"

"Why did she steal your jade pendant?"

"Of course she is a daughter of a small family and has never seen such a good thing before, so she became interested!"

The Ninth Princess took it for granted, but Xie Lang sneered and said: "Princess, there is no law in our court that can convict people without any evidence. I decided that Mingyue did it based on mere guesses, and I was talking nonsense."

"Brother Jinglan, you bully me!"

Everyone in the hall looked here in unison.

From the few words spoken by the two of them, they roughly guessed the reason why the Ninth Princess caught Xue Mingyue and launched an attack.

Xie Lang stepped forward and blocked Xue Mingyue behind him, looking at the Ninth Princess with cold eyes.

He turned to look at the empress at the top, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that Mingyue must not be such a person. It's just that husband and wife are one body. Since a search is required, your Majesty, please also order someone to search me."

The emperor was a little surprised and waved his hand: "Yes. Whether it is yes or no, you will know with just one search."

Xue Mingyue's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she looked at Xie Lang in surprise.

...There is absolutely no need for him to do this.

"Brother Jinglan, what are you doing!" The ninth princess stamped her feet angrily.

Xie Lang said calmly: "Ming Yue is my wife. If she really makes a mistake, I will definitely protect her. So for the sake of justice, I also asked the Ninth Princess to call a trusted chamberlain to search her body."

"..."

Jiu Gong advocated and opened his mouth, but nothing came out for a long time.

Xue Mingyue also hurriedly looked away, took a deep breath, opened her arms towards the Ninth Princess, and looked at her openly: "If the princess doesn't believe me, you can search it yourself."

"Okay, I will search it myself!"

The Ninth Princess suddenly became angry and gritted her teeth as she stepped forward to search her body.

The size of the jade pendant makes it difficult to hide it properly. It can be touched no matter where it is hidden on the body. The Ninth Princess began to search seriously, but she searched Xue Mingyue's body all over and couldn't find anything.

How could it not be?

Is it really not Xue Mingyue?

Xue Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Princess, can you trust me now?"

At this time, a surprise sound suddenly sounded from the back row.

"I found the jade pendant!"
