The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 183 Sima's crime!

They all looked strange and could not answer, but Xue Qingyin seemed to be unaware of it. She got off the carriage and said, "Xingzhou is indeed a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery."

They had never heard Xingzhou praised so much, and they felt more embarrassed.

"Princess, you are too kind."

"This is the responsibility of our subordinates."

"Princess, please come into the mansion first." Someone said.

When this was said, everyone was strangely silent.

They remembered...

The dancers just now seemed to be still in the garden... If they ran into them, what would happen?

One person was quick-witted and said, "Xingzhou has mountain winds from time to time, and the mountain winds are cold. The princess is precious, so let's sit down in the hall and talk first."

But then he saw the figure of King Xuan in his peripheral vision. How dare he lie to his face again?

So he quickly changed his words: "But the scenery in the garden is better, and there are high walls to block the mountain wind. I will hold a banquet in the garden, so I dare to invite the princess to join us."

The main point is that she can bend and stretch.

Xue Qingyin didn't notice their strangeness at all, and just raised her chin lightly: "Then please lead the way."

"Princess, you're welcome."

"Princess, please."

"Please, please." They responded in a flurry, turning around to lead the way and raising their heads.

Only then could they see the appearance of Princess Xuan.

She had a reverse bun, a drop of jade in the shape of a water drop fell between her eyebrows, her eyebrows were bright, and her skin was whiter than snow.

Her appearance could no longer be described as pretty, she must be a serious and stunning beauty.

No wonder.

No wonder she could order Gan Zixu to come forward and overturn the table.

No wonder His Royal Highness Xuan had no interest in the so-called old friend.

This thought came to their minds at the same time.

It happened that Xue Qingyin entered the door at this time. After walking a few steps, everyone saw her walking past King Xuan without looking around.

It was as if she didn't see King Xuan.

King Xuan stood there coldly, with a strong sense of oppression. How, how could he not see?

"Princess, this..." An official spoke weakly, trying to ease the situation.

"What's the matter?" Xue Qingyin asked softly.

"Your Highness King Xuan is here..."

"Oh, really? Why can't I see it?"

"Your Highness, this..." They then looked at King Xuan for help.

King Xuan didn't even look at them, as if he had no intention of speaking for himself.

And here Xue Qingyin smiled and said: "Your eyesight is very good, I thought you couldn't see people."

The officials looked at each other, and their faces became more embarrassed.

"Why are you sweating on your foreheads? I think it's very cool today." Xue Qingyin said again.

"This subordinate... This subordinate and others are seeing people like His Royal Highness Prince Xuan and Princess Xuan for the first time, so we can't help but feel nervous."

"Why are you nervous? Will Prince Xuan eat you, or can I eat you?"

Some of them blushed and couldn't speak for a while.

This Princess Xuan is really good at manipulating people's hearts!

Just as the atmosphere became more and more weird, Xue Qingyin stepped into the garden.

Looking to the left, it was a dancer hugging and shaking, revealing her soft waist; looking to the right, huh? Lu Shuyi? Is this the so-called old friend?

There was also Gan Zixu standing in the middle, looking up and smiling at her flatteringly.

"Miss Lu." Xue Qingyin spoke first.

Lu Shuyi looked at the officials following behind her, who looked like a star surrounded by stars. Even the dignified Prince Xuan could only be at the side?

She really ignored all the rules.

Lu Shuyi was in a complicated mood and bowed to Xue Qingyin: "I didn't have time to congratulate the princess in Beijing before."

Xue Qingyin smiled and said: "So now you come to Xingzhou to congratulate me?"

Everyone's heart "clicked" and the officials fell into a dead silence.

It's over, it's finally right.

At that moment, many thoughts flashed through Lu Shuyi's mind.

She had many ways to answer.

She could say "I only wish to follow His Royal Highness Prince Xuan", or "I am worried about Princess Xuan, and want to stay by your side to prevent another thief from poisoning me", or she could cry and talk about how difficult it is for her to be in the capital, and how miserable it is to be a Taoist nun...

Sobers, false and implicit, pitiful...

She finally said: "Reading thousands of books is better than traveling thousands of miles. There is something in my heart that I have been unable to find the answer to, so I set out from the capital and finally found it today. It turns out that most things in the world do not have only one way to go."

"Then I also want to congratulate Miss Lu, who finally has a sudden enlightenment." Xue Qingyin tilted her head and said.

"Thank you, Princess." Lu Shuyi bowed again and said, "At the flower viewing banquet that day, I accidentally saved your life. Later, His Royal Highness Xuan Wang sent a reward to the Lu family. I think it was because His Royal Highness loved the princess that he did this. Today, I will shamelessly ask the princess to repay me for this "favor"."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts rose to their throats again.

Xue Qingyin took a seat at the main seat leisurely, and said, "What are you standing there for? Didn't you prepare a table and chair for Miss Lu? Bring the chairs first."

Someone hurriedly moved and soon brought a stool.

Lu Shuyi did not sit down.

She could feel the cold and sharp eyes of the King Xuan, as if he wanted to cut her whole bones.

She took a deep breath, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

She said, "If one day I am in a desperate situation, I only hope that the princess can lend a hand to save me once."

Gan Zixu:?

That's it? Just to talk about this for a long time?

Everyone was also stunned.

They thought that Miss Lu, who had come all the way from the capital, was willing to be King Xuan's concubine.

Xue Qingyin was also a little surprised.

Lu Shuyi's pursuit of him, no matter how he disguised it on the surface, was definitely for King Xuan, there was no need to doubt it.

But she gave up... and changed her mind?

"Can Princess promise me?" Lu Shuyi said again.

Xue Qingyin whispered: "Miss Lu is so smart, how could she be in such a desperate situation?"

Lu Shuyi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm just relying on my own cleverness... One person can't defeat thousands of troops, not to mention thousands of troops. Sometimes even one or two people can't defeat him."

If she returns to the capital in despair, the road ahead will be even more difficult.

If the rumors leak out, the Lu family will naturally not admit that they pushed her to leave Beijing. This matter would eventually fall on her shoulders alone, and it was Lu Shuyi who was unwilling to do so.

Think of this.

Lu Shuyi was really shaken.

But the hard road is better than the dead road.

At the moment, King Xuan and Xue Qingyin are in deep love. The more entangled she is, the more she becomes the cornerstone for King Xuan to prove his love.

A look of determination appeared on Lu Shuyi's face, and then she heard Xue Qingyin's voice: "You save me once, and I will save you once."

Lu Shuyi let out a long sigh of relief when he heard the sound.

She really didn't have any grudges at all.

Lu Shuyi felt that she probably knew why King Xuan liked her.

If she were in Xue Qingyin's position, a woman would come to her and say the same thing. Even if the woman tried every possible means to show that she would not get involved again, she would only think that it was a trick to retreat in order to advance.

From her mother, she learned too much about human nature and too many ways to fight in a house.

From now on every heart I see is black.

She and Xue Qingyin are two completely different types of people.

Influenced by ethics and the imperial family, she willingly walked into the darkness.

Xue Qingyin walked towards the light with swagger.

"Thank you, Princess. I will return to Beijing tomorrow." Lu Shuyi said.

"Sit down and eat something. I see you have lost some weight." Xue Qingyin smacked her lips.

Qian Zixu watched the people in the government office eagerly presented the food... Is this the end?

Qian Zixu was speechless.

Is this Lu girl giving up now? Princess Xuan just went with the flow and stopped being angry?

Qian Zixu decided to stand up and add fuel to the fire.

He said with an angry look on his face: "Princess, when the villain came here, he saw the dancing girl twisting her waist in front of Your Highness. The villain got angry on behalf of the princess and overturned the table..."

Is there anyone else who is angry?

Everyone was shocked at the villainous face of Qian Zixu.

"Dancing Girl?" Xue Qingyin pointed at the trembling women, "Them?"

"Exactly."

"Then keep dancing."

"……ah?"

"Dance, I like to watch. You don't have to be rigid, come on, tell me, do you like to watch?" Xue Qingyin glanced at Sima, Chang Shi and others.

Qian Zixu: "..."

No one answered for a while.

Xue Qingyin smiled and said: "When I didn't come, only His Highness was sitting here with you. If you don't like to watch the dancing girls, why did you invite them to come? Could it be that His Highness likes to watch it?"

"No! No! Yes, I like to watch it." Sima quickly admitted with a grimace.

Fortunately, this is an elegant thing nowadays, and if he says it, it won't ruin his reputation.

Xue Qingyin looked at Chang Shi and others: "You don't like watching it?"

Is this... something you should love to watch? Still shouldn’t watch it?

They hesitated.

Xue Qingyin lazily shook her fan and said, "Maybe you should ask your wives, they might know better."

They quickly swore to God: "Only Sima likes to watch it!"

"That's right, Sima is the best! I'm really not happy with the officials and the others."

Qian Zixu: “…………”
