Chapter 14 Not That Simple
Ying Dongjun returned home slowly in a carriage, and continued to be watched by the people in the capital along the way.
Xiao Jixiang saw the princess lying leaning against her, looking indifferent.
Thinking that the princess was indeed wronged today, Xiao Jixiang said: Today, the Xiao family embarrassed the princess in front of the palace gate. Do I want me to find an opportunity to teach Xiao Huiniang a lesson?
Ying Dongjun raised his eyelids and looked at him, "How do you want to teach her a lesson?"
Xiao Jixiang thought about it and suggested seriously: dig out her eyes? Cut her ears? Or chop her hands?
Ying Dongjun said disgustedly: "I don't like bloody scenes unless I have to!"
Xiao Jixiang: Did you shave her hair in the middle of the night?
Ying Dongjun: "It's a good idea! But than shaving Xiao Huiniang's hair, I now want to shave the hair of that sinister woman Xiao Yingniang."
Xiao Jixiang estimated it in his heart and shook his head regretfully: Most of the imperial guards were replaced after the new emperor ascended the throne. Now almost all the supporters of the new emperor are the ones guarding the palace, and the empress dowager's hair is difficult to shave. However, the princess hates Empress Xiao so much because she was angry with Lan Yan?
Ying Dongjun was so angry that he raised his hand and knocked hard on Xiao Jixiang's forehead.
"Is this kind of person who makes me confused?"
Xiao Jixiang touched his head and did not respond to Ying Dongjun's words. Although he was a mute, he was an honest mute.
"Hmph!" Ying Dongjun snorted coldly, "Do you think Xiao Huiniang is really stupid? After I woke up, I was provoking me at the palace gate? Even if all the civil and military officials in the court disliked me, I was also the eldest daughter of my father. My surname was Ying. The new emperor ascended the throne for less than half a year. Although her Xiao family was at its peak, there were no forces in the court against the Xiao family. They did not have to provoke me at this time. Although Xiao Huiniang was more reckless, she was not really stupid. There was no stupid person in the Xiao family from top to bottom! Even if she wanted to trample me under her feet, she would not dare to do this without the instructions of her sister Empress Dowager Xiao! "
Xiao Jixiang felt enlightened: Today was the Queen Mother who signaled her to stop you at the palace gate?
Ying Dongjun glanced at him: "Or what if? Although Ji'an is not good, no one can be a dog. Without Xiao Ying's support for this little pitiful, she dared to stand in front of this palace to block the way?"
Xiao Jixiang wondered: What is the purpose of the Queen Mother doing this?
Ying Dongjun smiled lazyly with his jaw on his back: "Guess?"
At this time, Xiao Huiniang, who had been standing at the palace gate for nearly an hour, was finally received by Empress Dowager Xiao, who had finished his state affairs.
Empress Dowager Xiao is the eldest daughter Xiao Yingniang, who is from the Xiao family's legitimate family, and she is only twenty-eight years old this year. Although she is not very beautiful, she is also elegant and elegant, showing her style in every move.
Xiao Yingniang took the teacup presented by the maid, drank it lightly, and then put it down, then looked at Han's cousin who was sitting on the lower head with a face. Her tone was also gentle and gentle, neither anxious nor impatient.
"Chenping has endured your provocation?"
Xiao Huiniang's cultivation is obviously not as good as her sister, and she is both angry and aggrieved, "She seems to be someone who can tolerate it? She threatened to participate in the book of the Xiao family and the Empress! For the reputation of the Xiao family and the Empress, I was forced to stand in front of the palace gate for an hour! If my uncle and father had not told us to act in a low-key manner in advance, I would have to..."
But Xiao Yingniang faintly interrupted Xiao Huiniang's bold words.
"If it were ten years ago, you would have blood splattered on the palace gate today. She has endured you today."
Xiao Huiniang choked, "It's not true? I'm the daughter of the Xiao family's legitimate branch and the cousin of the empress!"
Xiao Yingniang looked at her and said slowly: "The prince Huai's legitimate granddaughter, the county lord of Ningxiang, did not dismount and salute her when he met her in front of the palace gate. She ordered someone to whip her and whip her, so that the county lord of Ningxiang became lame from now on. King Huai is the uncle of the late emperor and has great prestige in the royal family of the Ying family. Both the late emperor and the empress dowager must give King Huai some face."
Xiao Huiniang reacted and remembered the Ningxiang County Lord whom the Empress Dowager met when she was hosting a banquet for noble daughters in the royal family. Although she tried her best to hide her physical defects, she could still see that her legs were of different lengths at a glance. Xiao Huiniang couldn't help but shivered.
"If her temper really comes to her today, wouldn't my life be lost?" Xiao Huiniang said in a fearful way.
Xiao Yingniang glanced at her and said calmly: "I have arranged someone to protect you secretly. What are you afraid of?"
Xiao Huiniang breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Empress is more thoughtful. But the Empress wants me to anger her in front of the palace gate today, why is the purpose?"
Xiao Yingniang didn't answer directly, she lowered her eyes and thought, "The reason she could make people blood splatter in the palace was because the imperial guards and eunuchs in the palace were willing to listen to her. Now if she wanted someone to listen to her, it would not work with her title as Princess Chengping, she could only..."
"What can I do?" Xiao Huiniang asked curiously.
