The Dali Emperor was extremely strict in disciplining women. Married women were not allowed to have affairs with others, let alone have affairs with other men.

Even if someone looks at your feet or touches your hands, it is a serious sin.

Not only will his own life be in danger, but the women of his mother's family will also be implicated.

It can be said that for women, reputation is much more important than life.

Therefore, whether in the inner court of the imperial palace or in the mansions of wealthy families, wives and concubines seldom resorted to insulting the innocence of others when competing for favor.

Unless it is a foregone conclusion, even if you kill your opponent, you will inevitably be implicated.

Therefore, after Emperor Xuanwen took a look at the bellyband, he felt bitter in his heart.

He glanced at Xie Junyao without knowing whether he was happy or angry, and cursed him as an idiot in his heart.

As a prince, especially a legitimate prince, it is understandable that he wants to fight for the throne.

After all, this position can only be held by someone who is smart enough, vicious enough, and hard enough.

Therefore, there was nothing wrong with Prince Duan Xie Junyao wanting to deal with the Ningguo Mansion and the Dingyuan Mansion, but it was extremely wrong that his move was so stupid and full of loopholes.

It would be fine if it was a frame-up of an ordinary woman in the harem. As long as the witnesses and evidence were consistent, no one would have the confidence to investigate it seriously.

Who would confront Prince Duan?

But now the person they are framing is Princess Dingyuan Xiao Yunxi!

The evidence was not prepared in a reasonable way, and even the adulterer was a useless half-baked person.

Instead of finding such a scapegoat and telling such a lie full of loopholes.

It would be more reliable if he stood up at the grand palace banquet and accused Xiao Yunxi of abandoning him at the top of his voice!

Idiot! Even more stupid than his own mother, the Queen!

How can I be worthy of being the offspring of the Xie family? !

"Mom, show your daughter this bellyband."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuanfeng handed the bellyband to Xiao Yunxi who was standing beside him.

After Xiao Yunxi took it, she looked at it carefully, and then said with a smile: "The material of this bellyband is Liuzhou swallow silk yarn, which is very rare."

Xie Yuanfeng nodded, "Yes, although it is a bit expensive and not common in ordinary families, there are still many in the royal family's inner courtyard."

"I remember that Liuzhou paid tribute to us with a batch of swallow silk yarn not long ago."

Every September, Liuzhou would pay tribute to the emperor with a batch of swallow silk yarn. Although it was not as luxurious as Tencel yarn, it was also not as rare as fog velvet yarn.

But its texture is as thin as a cicada's wing, seemingly transparent but not see-through, and it is also quite popular among concubines.

"It seems that the Queen gave that batch of swallow silk yarn to several concubines and her own daughter-in-law. Let alone Yun Xi, I have never seen it either."

After saying this, Xie Yuanfeng lowered his head and continued drinking tea, ignoring Emperor Xuanwen's embarrassed and angry expression.

Xie Junyao seemed to be slapped by Xie Yuanfeng and suddenly woke up. It seemed that today's events were a bit too hasty.

He glanced at Marquis Wu'an lightly.

Wu Anhou immediately understood, covered his chin, and kowtowed to Emperor Xuanwen, "Your Majesty, this Yansi yarn is tributed every year.

The eldest princess's words are totally untenable."

"Even if we didn't get the Dingyuan Palace and the Ningguo Palace this year, what about last year, and the year before last?"

"How do you explain the words embroidered on the bellyband?"

"If there wasn't a private affair, how could Princess Dingyuan's underwear end up in the hands of the steward of the Zhennan Palace?!"

Xiao Yunxi also studied the word "汐" for a while.

Before she married Mo Ruochen, her ready-made clothes were either delivered to her regularly by Siyifang every month, or her mother would have someone embroider them specially for her.

All her underwear were embroidered by the girl Chunxiao.

Chunxiao's biological mother was once the best embroiderer in Jiangnan. She was an excellent embroiderer. But she met the wrong man and was sold by Chunxiao's biological father to pay off his gambling debts.

By chance, she was rescued by her mother and brought back to the Ningguo Mansion.

Later, she became an embroiderer in the Ningguo Mansion. Most of the clothes for the eldest princess and Xiao Yunxi were made by her.

Chunxiao's needlework was all taught by her biological mother and she is very skilled.

Chunxiao has a habit. No matter whether it is an embroidered handkerchief or a bellyband, she likes to embroider an imprint on the lower right corner, but it is basically a picture, rarely words.

Xia He's is a lotus flower, Chun Xiao's is a butterfly.

As for her, the word "Xi" is homophonic with "Xi", so Chunxiao always embroiders a little sun, and Xiahe always laughs at her for embroidering an egg.

But one day her mother found out and thought the sun was not suitable, so she asked Chunxiao to change it.

After that, Chunxiao would embroider another layer on top of the little sun, which was the word "Xi".

It seems that this person has some understanding of her affairs, but not a thorough understanding.

Xiao Yunxi's eyes flashed as she looked at Marquis Wu'an, "I heard that the little daughter born to you by your favorite concubine is seventeen years old this year, right?"

Marquis Wu'an didn't understand why Xiao Yunxi mentioned his little daughter. He looked at her warily and didn't respond.

Xiao Yunxi smiled faintly, "I heard that your daughter is familiar with "Rules for Women" and "Precepts for Women". The Queen has praised her more than once.

She has a gentle and docile temperament and is full of talent."

Xie Yuanfeng raised her eyebrows slightly, "That's right, I heard from Concubine De and Concubine Xian that the Empress likes the concubine daughter of Marquis Wu'an very much, and she invites her into the palace from time to time."

"Mother, the apple of Marquis Wu'an's eye, her maiden name also has the character 'Xi' in it."

Wu Anhou immediately shouted, "You are talking nonsense!"

Xiao Yunxi was amused, "My Lord, was what I just said nonsense?"

Marquis Wu'an paused, his face turning red and white.

"My daughter is still young. If the princess brings her up at this moment, won't it ruin her reputation?"

Xiao Yunxi tilted her head and looked at Emperor Xuanwen, with a hint of grievance in her tone.

"Uncle Emperor, Yun Xi just said a few truthful words, why did Marquis Wu'an put such a big accusation on her?"

"They are standing here with their mouths open and closed, as if they are righteous and awe-inspiring. Am I just talking nonsense?"

Emperor Xuanwen glanced at Marquis Wu'an coldly and said, "Don't bother with him. Just say whatever you want to say."

It’s all because of that idiot Wu An Hou, otherwise the Seventh Brother wouldn’t have lost his mind!

Xiao Yunxi bowed slightly to Emperor Xuanwen, "Thank you, Uncle Emperor."

When Censor Lai saw Marquis Wu'an's purple face, he held his waist which was almost broken from being kicked and looked at Xiao Yunxi sarcastically.

"Princess, even if Marquis Wu'an's daughter's maiden name also has the character 'Xi' in it, so what?

There are many women named Xi in the world. "

Xiao Yunxi looked at Censor Lai and smiled.

"Master Yushi, there are many women named Xi in this world, but it is not easy to be like the beloved daughter of Marquis Wu'an, who chases a man around in the middle of the night.

There aren’t many people who stay overnight at the inn.”

Xiao Yunxi glanced at Wu'an Marquis and said, "I heard that not long ago, the young lady from Wu'an Marquis's mansion accidentally fell while attending a banquet, and she was bleeding profusely.

It's like a woman having a miscarriage."

Censor Lai and Marquis Wu'an were a little nervous. How could Xiao Yunxi know about this? All the servants were clearly kept silent at that time.

Marquis Wu'an pointed at Xiao Yunxi with a red face and thick neck, "Stop spitting bloody words here!"
