Liang Dynasty Kyoto, Jinling City.

If you want to talk about who the women in Jinling City envy the most, it should be Xue Ye, the cousin of Lin'an Bo Mansion.

This story is also a bit bizarre.

Many years ago, a young illegitimate daughter from Lin'an Bo Mansion was taken away by a kidnapped at the Lantern Festival. She then fell into an ordinary family to raise her. After she got married, she married a merchant as a wife and gave birth to a daughter. Later, her husband died and was widowed. However, she was unexpectedly the eldest son of Lin'an Bo Mansion recognized the illegitimate aunt with her eyebrows similar to that of Lin'an Bo Mansion, and took the mother and daughter back to the illegitimate mother and daughter.

Xue Ye is the daughter of Lin'an's concubine's aunt who married a merchant.

The eldest son of Lin'an Bo Mansion, Renshan, was pity for his aunt's ups and downs, and even told Lin'an Bo to record the mother and daughter in the genealogy of Bo Mansion. Xue Ye also became the serious lady of Lin'an Bo Mansion.

Who wouldn't say that she was lucky? She went from a banker to a noble daughter. It was even more jealous that even His Royal Highness favored her and came forward to defend her many times. Rumors about the Prince and Miss Xue were rampant in Jinling City, which made the lady in Manjing want to see what kind of beauty this Miss Xue, who can make His Royal Highness love the dignified Prince, is.

Since Lin'an Bo Mansion recognized the mother and daughter, Mrs. Bo has also made sufficient etiquette and has brought Xue Ye out to participate in social interactions in Beijing.

Seeing the real person is disappointing.

Her appearance is not as good as that of the prime minister Cheng Fangxin, who has two beauties in the capital, and Su Wan, daughter of the Minister of Personnel, knows nothing about poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy, painting and other arts.

As for his words and deeds, he sounds good and clever. In the eyes of all noble girls, he is sharp-tongued and does not understand the qualities of qualities and etiquette. He does not see any virtuous and kind demeanor. How can such a woman be worthy of the royal family?

The noble female officials in the capital were picky about this lucky Miss Xue and even more disdainful to mock her.

I heard that Lin'an Bo Mansion specially invited several female masters and nannies in the palace to teach her the etiquette of noble girls. As a result, no one who taught me said that Miss Xue was stupid and rude and could not learn well, which made many people in Beijing laugh at her. If she settled down, she would be a crow and would not be a phoenix if she flew to the branch.

What is even more unexpected is that Xue Ye did something bold and pushed the eldest princess's daughter, Princess Rong'an, into the ice lake at the eldest princess's plum blossom banquet.

...

"Empress, aunt, you must make the decision for Rong'an."

In the magnificent and gorgeous hall room, the one who pulled the queen's sleeve to complain was Zhao Yunshang, the princess Rong'an. The girl's beautiful appearance could not hide the arrogance and hostility between her eyebrows and eyes.

"Xue Ye dares to push my maid this time, and he may dare to attack me next time."

Also sitting next to him were Zhao Yunshang's mother and Princess Yanhua.

Zhao Yunshang would call the queen the aunt. Princess Yanhua married the queen's younger brother, Marquis Xiangnan. She gave birth to one son and one daughter. She was made the crown prince just after the eldest son was just one month old. Princess Yanhua also loved and favored her daughter. The daughter of the eldest princess was named the county lord, and only Princess Rong'an was the eldest princess. Princess Yanhua went to the palace to ask for the title.

In addition, the queen also helped her speak because she was her niece. Therefore, among the royal family, Princess Rong'an was particularly special, and she could be called "wind and rainy."

This is the first time someone dares to slap her in the face like this.

The queen raised her eyebrows and said, "Someone is so arrogant and domineering that she dares to commit murder in the princess's house."

In terms of arrogance and domineeringness, who can compare with the beloved Princess Rong'an in the capital?

But people's hearts are biased. Princess Rong'an is her niece again, so the queen naturally protects her.

"The prince's cousin is still protecting her."

Speaking of which, Zhao Yunshang felt a little sad. What's the point of Xue Ye? The prince's cousin who she loved was so attached to protect her.

When she heard the niece mentioning the prince, the queen frowned slightly, and she also heard rumors about the prince and Xue Ye. The prince has always been smart and beautiful, and she is in good order. She doesn't have to worry about it. She just treats it as a trivial matter and then takes a concubine as a concubine in the future.

But the queen, who had no good feelings for Xue Ye, had a worse impression after Princess Rong'an complained.

She patted Zhao Yunshang's back of the hand and comforted her, "If the prince comes to plead with mercy in person, I will not let you suffer any grievances. I will definitely punish Xue Ye well."

Upon hearing this, not only Princess Ronghua smiled, but also Princess Yanhua's face also eased a lot. She also stood up and gave a blessing, "Thank you, the Empress, for making decisions for us."

The queen was also at peace and smiled, "It's all her family, what are you talking about?"

The queen doesn't want the prince to hate the princess because of a vicious woman, and she has a grudge against her relationship with her foreign family.

As soon as the eldest princess and Princess Rong'an walked out of the hall, they saw His Royal Highness coming towards him.

Wearing a gorgeous crown on his head, standing tall with jade, and wearing a gorgeous garment with cloud and dragon patterns, he is graceful and unspeakable.

Princess Rong'an shouted happily, "Crown Prince's Cousin".

Prince Chu Xian only glanced lightly. As the prince, he did not need to salute the eldest princess. He usually held the respect of his younger generation in order to maintain his image of benevolence, filial piety and brotherhood. However, he obviously did not feel like this now, so he was very cold.

"Is it because of Miss Xue?"

"Xue Ye pushed my maid into the Bing Lake. Such a cruel and vicious woman, what are you thinking about when you are a prince cousin?" Princess Rong'an suddenly became jealous and even started to speak without hesitation.

Crown Prince Chu Xianjun frowned slightly. Ming County did not like Princess Rong'an's behavior, and said coldly, "Isn't this the truth I heard?"

Princess Rong'an felt guilty when she heard this, but thought she could not find any evidence, so she still said harshly, "How can I do it in full view of everyone?"

Chu Xian sneered, "Then Princess Rong'an should take care of herself."

After saying that, he went straight to the Queen's Palace.

When he returned to the eldest princess's mansion, Zhao Yunshang hated Xue Ye very much when he remembered the cold rebuke attitude of the prince's cousin to her, "Where is Suqin?"

The princess spoke, and immediately a servant went to call someone.

In less than half a breath, a pale and sick maid rushed to the main hall, knelt down and said tremblingly, "Princess."

In such a cold day, I was soaked in the ice lake and almost lost half of my life.

But she is even more scared than in the ice lake, because she has not done the things arranged by the princess, let alone half of her life, even her and the family will probably be gone.

Princess Rong'an originally ordered her to push Xue Ye into the ice lake at the plum blossom banquet, but Xue Ye did not fall in, and the simple quilt fell into the ice lake.

Zhao Yunshang waved his whip and hit the maid Suqin, "It's useless, I can't do this well, and it will embarrass me."

After a while, several whip marks were drawn out, and Suqin was beaten to the point of being trembling with cold sweat and dared to crawl on the ground and keep provoking guilt.

The servant and maid standing next to him did not dare to look up, and looked at Suqin's miserable appearance. Thinking about the fact that Suqin was the most respected maid next to the princess two days ago. In order to please the princess, she took the initiative to take on this matter.

When the eldest princess saw her daughter beating and scolding her maid, she didn't say anything. She was just a stupid thing that was not good at doing things.

After venting hard on Su Qin, Zhao Yunshang threw herself into the arms of her mother, the eldest princess, "The prince's cousin won't really hate me anymore, right?"

The eldest princess felt sorry for her daughter and coaxed her, "How could that be? Your mother is the eldest princess of the current dynasty, your father is the marquis, your uncle is the son of today, the queen is your aunt, and the prince is your cousin. Even the princess in the palace, you can't go."

"A wild girl from the countryside can't block your way."

The eldest princess looked arrogant and determined to win the imperial examination, "Don't worry, the position of the Crown Princess can only be yours."

Zhao Yunshang was comforted by his mother and was immediately filled with confidence. Even when the servants around him heard this, they only lowered their heads and closed their mouths tightly.

———

The Crown Prince Chu Xian was also in the queen's harem at this time and told the truth.

The real harm to others was Princess Rong'an's maid, but she just reaped the consequences.

He guessed that as soon as this happened, Princess Rong'an and her mother, Princess, would come to the palace to complain, and indeed they even ran to the queen to turn the tables.

The queen still disbelief, "Has you heard the villain's ears?"

The villain was left without pointing out Xue Ye. Seeing that his biological son hurried into the palace for Xue Ye, he made a special defense for her, the queen had already determined that she was a charming person.

"You said that your cousin Princess Rong'an sent a maid to murder Xue Ye. This is just your unreasonable guess. However, it was seen by everyone that Xue Ye pushed the maid from Princess's mansion to fall into the Bing Lake, so how could it be fake?"

The prince smiled calmly and said calmly, "Can Song Tingzhang, the new top scholar, be a villain?"

The queen was slightly shocked. Even in the harem, she knew that Song Tingzhang, who was named the top scholar by His Majesty and praised as the talent of Qilin. If such a person is said to be a villain, wouldn't he question His Majesty's vision?

The prince said again, "It was he who heard what Princess Rong'an said to his maid by chance."

The queen was silent. She did not suspect that Song Tingzhang had colluded with the prince and said these words to coax her. Since Song Tingzhang was appointed as the top scholar, he was particularly appreciated by His Majesty. He arranged for the position of close ministers and rarely interacted with others. She also hoped that the prince could recruit him, but unfortunately he was ineffective.

"If the queen mother doesn't believe it, she can summon Song Tingzhang to ask. I believe that for the sake of a girl's reputation, he will be happy to tell the truth."

"No." The queen blurted out subconsciously, and after she said that, she was a little embarrassed, "This matter has spread, which will damage Rong'an's reputation."

The prince's lips curled slightly, Rong'an's reputation? Who doesn't know her temperament in the capital? It's just that because the eldest princess and her mother protect her, no one dares to offend her.

Looking at the prince's quiet face, the queen softened her voice again, "Rong'an is your cousin, and she is obsessed with you again. How can you bear to hurt her?"

The prince smiled but said nothing.

The queen said again: "Although the maid is vicious, Miss Xue, who was a noble girl, would inevitably lose her ladylike demeanor as a noble girl."

It's almost said that Xue Ye is fierce and rude.

He also blamed a maid and left it clean with Princess Rong'an.

"For your sake, I will not punish her severely, so I will punish her for being in prison in the mansion for three months to copy the female ring."

Crown Prince Chu Xian frowned slightly.

"I have also heard that Xue Ye was a businesswoman. Now he has the identity of a serious lady in the uncle's house. He looks better on the face. If you really like it, please call me in another day and let me meet you. In the future, you will be included in the Eastern Palace and be appointed as a concubine. After you have the merit of giving birth, you will be promoted to the concubine."

The queen frowned and said earnestly, "Now, let her be more at ease, don't make the city storm, those rumors are about to spread to the palace."

The queen didn't want to have a grudge against her only son, the prince. She had a grudge against her. It was already her greatest tolerance for allowing Xue Ye to enter the East Palace.

"You are better at Rong'an. I think she is pretty good. Although she is arrogant and willful, she married her and the help of the eldest princess's mansion and the Xiangnan Marquis' Mansion, your position as a prince is also more stable." The queen said sincerely. In her opinion, everyone was happy. She had no grievances to Xue Ye. It was already her blessing to be able to get the title of a prince's good wife.

But neither the former nor the latter, the prince responded, which made the queen's impression of Xue Ye fall to the bottom. She must have bewitched the prince.

The prince was helpless. Even though he was reborn and protected his mother from being deposed, the mother was still so short-sighted.

He has never borrowed the power of the eldest princess and the Zhao family. Now the princess and the Zhao family are really trying to slap him in order to seek the position of crown princess.

The eldest princess's mansion and the Xiangnan Marquis's mansion, haha, the mother supported him and helped his relatives.

Crown Prince Chu Xian sneered in his heart. He clearly remembered how cold Princess Yanhua and his uncle were when he was deposed and that he had not become the crown prince. He avoided him like a snake and a scorpion, and wanted to separate his relationship so as not to be disgusted by his father.
