There were so many young ladies and gentlemen present, including not only the prince of the Yan Kingdom, but also the eldest prince of the Yan Kingdom, the prince of the Ming Kingdom, the son of the Minister of War... Which of these people are easy to mess with? With all the noble princes of the Yan Kingdom involved, and attracting so many enemies to the Duke of Ding, Ling Fengyan would never do such an unwise thing, nor would he dare to do it.
It's just that the words were forced to this point. If there was no investigation, Ling Ruier's aggressive appearance just now would arouse suspicion. Could it be that he was only targeting Princess Anping
"It's just a small hairpin. If you lose it, just lose it!" Ling Fengyan said with a smile, his eyes darkened.
"Miss Ling Er is wrong. The ladies here are both rich and noble. None of them can afford such a reputation. Since Miss Ling Er's hairpin is really missing, it's better to check and save the young master here. , it is very boring to be criticized after we go out. We might as well ask Miss Ling Er to clear our innocence." Mo Xuetong smiled slightly, the smile on his lips was as gentle as water, even worse than Ling Fengyan's. Her pure eyes looked like autumn water, as if she really had plans for everyone.
The corners of Bai Yihao's handsome lips curved slightly.
Ling Fengyan was forced to be speechless for a moment, but Ling Rui'er, who was standing behind her, became anxious and pushed Ling Fengyan away and said: "It's just a hairpin. I will return it to Duke Dingguo's Mansion." If you can afford it, the princess will..."
Before she could finish her words, something suddenly fell from her cuffs and landed on the ground, shining with a dazzling fiery red light, with a golden base, bright red and dazzling yellow.
"It's Chai Zi!"
"It's Miss Ling Er's hairpin, why is it in Miss Ling San's hands?"
"Didn't you say you dropped it? Did you do it on purpose?" Someone suddenly realized and looked at the one still held in Ling Ruier's hand, then looked at the one that fell on the ground, "They are obviously a pair!"
Ling Ruier was completely stunned. She stared at the one on the ground and then at the one in her hand.
"Miss Ling San, this hairpin is clearly in your hands. Why did you force yourself to say that our princess took it? Could it be that you deliberately hid it and said so?" Mo Ye reacted very quickly and pointed at the hairpin on the ground to Ling Rui. Er said, "No wonder the princess asked you to check just now. You recommended three to help four. It turns out..."
"This false accusation against the royal princess is the same as false accusation against the royal family. Miss Ling Er, Miss Ling San, you are really brave!" The sinister voice was accompanied by loud ridicule, which was of course made by Li Youmo.
Looking at the hairpin that fell to the ground, Ling Fengyan was so ashamed that she could hardly speak. Her face turned red and white for a while. Even though she was usually very arrogant, she couldn't explain why at this time.
Ling Rui'er was even more shocked. She looked down at the hairpin on the ground that seemed to be laughing at her, and listened to the sarcastic voices of the crowd. Then she looked up at the noble ladies, all of whom had expressions of disdain on their faces, and their faces suddenly turned pale. , raised his eyes and slid across Mo Xuetong's smiling face, turned to the side of Jade Concubine, suddenly stretched out his hand and said urgently: "Jade Concubine, it's you, is it you, right?"
Thinking that Concubine Yu had taken the hairpin to frame Mo Xuetong, and then it appeared inexplicably in her sleeves and was caught by everyone, Ling Ruier couldn't control her anger and reached out her hand. Pointed directly at Concubine Jade.
"I, I didn't..." Concubine Yu also panicked. She clearly remembered wearing this hairpin on Mo Xuetong's head. Why, after a while, the hairpin on Mo Xuetong's head was no longer in Ling Ruier's hand. But another one appeared. He looked up at Mo Xuetong, and a trace of ridicule seemed to flash across his innocent smiling face.
"How could it not be you? It's clearly you..." Ling Rui'er had been so stimulated by the incident that she had lost her mind. She glared at Concubine Yu and said hatefully, biting her and refusing to let go.
Ling Fengyan saw something bad and pulled her hard, pulling her back two steps and almost falling to the ground.
"I'm sorry everyone, what happened today is that Sanmei and I made a mistake. We just looked for the hairpin and didn't see it. Third sister thought she had dropped it, so... I didn't expect that the hairpin actually got caught on Sanmei's inner sleeve. It's really a misunderstanding." After saying that, he bowed down to everyone with an apology on his face.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, forget it. It's just a girl's hairpin. It's not a big deal." You Yuecheng took a step forward and said calmly. He wanted to stand aside and watch a good show, but he didn't expect to be caught by this person again. The cunning maid escaped, but the two young ladies of the Ling family got trapped somehow.
As a member of the third prince's faction, he naturally stood with Duke Dingguo. At this time, of course he came to the rescue and minimized the problem.

"Your Majesty is right, it's just a small matter. The fifth princess is having a banquet over there, let's go together." Bai Yichen also smiled and helped them out. He asked to marry the fifth princess, and of course he couldn't marry the queen's natal family. It is not difficult to make friends with each other at this time.
"Now that the matter has been cleared up, I will take my leave first." Mo Xuetong said calmly, his somewhat calm gaze turned from Concubine Yu to Ling Fengyan, and there was a thoughtful smile on his lips, which was very charming. Xia thought.
Everyone present who could see clearly knew that Ling Fengyan and Ling Rui'er were clearly framing Mo Xuetong, and Concubine Yu must have given the hairpin to Princess Anping. Everyone said that Ling Fengyan was beautiful. Gentle, Concubine Jade also had a reputation as a virtuous person in the palace, but it all seemed fake.
People lamented again that the rumors were indeed unbelievable.
These two people are obviously very scheming people, and their thoughts are vicious. Even the princess dares to plot against them. It is better not to get close to them from now on. I don't know when they fell into their trap, and I don't know how they died.
"Since the matter is clear, let's go together." Bai Yihao's handsome eyes fell on Mo Xuetong, showing his concern just right.
"Thank you Mr. Bai for your kindness. I just suddenly remembered the gift that my mother gave to the fifth princess and left it in the Pearl Palace. I will go and get it now." Mo Xuetong smiled and flatly refused. Yingying gave a gift and took Mo Ye in another direction. Go.
Facing a woman like Ling Fengyan who is gentle on the surface but cruel in reality, Mo Xuetong thinks she still has a slight chance of winning. Facing a ruthless and even heartless person like Bai Yihao, Mo Xuetong feels inferior and can only do her best. Staying away can prevent yourself from becoming a pawn in his hands for no reason.
Just like just now, with Bai Yihao's extreme intelligence, how could he not see it, but he was watching the show quietly on the side. If she couldn't get out of this matter, he wouldn't help her at all, because something like that happened. Her chess piece could no longer attract the attention of the eldest prince of the Yan Kingdom. How could a woman with a corrupt moral character become the opponent of the fifth princess.
And just when she got away, he came to express his tenderness again, which really made people feel wary.
"Fifth brother, Princess Anping seems to be very dissatisfied with you?" Bai Yichen could clearly see the anger and alienation on Mo Xuetong's face, so he naturally took it out and ridiculed her.
Bai Yihao still smiled gracefully and leisurely, walked forward, and said with a faint smile: "A girl's family is framed, of course she can't show it on her face. If she can calmly put the hairpin back into Miss Ling San's sleeve, the palace's All the masters use it against women.”
When he said this, Concubine Jade's face froze, her lips trembled, her face turned pale, but she could not utter a single word.
What he meant clearly was that she had secretly done it. Because she had given Mo Xuetong a hairpin but refused to acknowledge it, the whole matter fell entirely on her. However, she couldn't say anything and she didn't even argue. There is no room for it.
Bai Yihao was no one else. With his position, he must have seen the whole audience clearly when he said such a sentence. Although he didn't say a word just now, everyone knew that he had been watching. At this time, when he said such a sentence, Yu Fei could only I felt so weak that I couldn't even move a step.
A master in the palace, how could she, a little concubine, be qualified to raise a master in the palace? That was to raise a master secretly. Why should he raise a master... With Emperor Zongwen's temperament, how could he truly pamper her to the heavens? Thinking of his own family that day After something like that happened to her brother, Emperor Zongwen's scolding and neglect, and subsequent sarcastic comments from other concubines, Concubine Yu felt her heart sink all the way.
If this matter were spread by others, those concubines who had always seen her being unkind would not be allowed to add jealousy to her private breeding of masters. That would be a capital crime, and it would be enough to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan...
If this line of thinking continues... Concubine Yu did not dare to think further, her hands and feet were cold, and her forehead was already sweating. She did not care what to say to the Ling sisters on the side, and hurried to the palace with the palace maids. She had to hurry up before others took this place. Before telling the emperor about the matter, you must first explain it to yourself, otherwise...
Being able to win the favor of Emperor Zongwen in the palace and dealing with the Queen Mother, Concubine Yu is naturally not a simple person!
"Second sister, you see, she really feels guilty." Ling Ruier was about to grab Concubine Yu and ask her, but when she saw her hurrying in without saying a word, she immediately kicked her foot angrily.
"Rui'er, that's enough!" At this time, everyone had walked away. Ling Fengyan said angrily with a cold face, "You haven't caused enough trouble today. Who do you think you are, and you dare to interfere with the affairs of the empress in the palace? Empress Jade Concubine Wherever I want to go, why don’t I tell you that I can’t do it!”
"But, it was clearly her who just..." Ling Ruier said unconvinced.
"Shut up!" Ling Feng trembled with smoke, stretched out his hand and raised his palm, hitting Ling Rui'er hard on the face.
"Second sister, you..." Ling Rui'er didn't expect that her second sister, who had always loved her, would hit her like this. She covered her face and her eyes were red.
"You know where this place is, it's the palace, where the emperor and his ladies live! Who are you? You are the young lady of Duke Dingguo's mansion, just a minister. What position do you have to accuse the ladies and queens in the palace? If you don’t want to live with the ladies here, don’t drag me into the water." Ling Fengyan gritted her teeth and cursed in a low voice.
She was really mad. This matter wasn't really a big deal. As long as they admitted they made a mistake, what could Mo Xuetong do? The most they could do was apologize, but Ling Rui'er said a few words. Involving Concubine Yu, and adding the incident involving Concubine Yu, it became clear that he and Concubine Yu were colluding to harm Mo Xuetong.
This matter almost got out of hand!
Concubine Yu may be convicted, but how can they and those who conspired with Concubine Yu be okay? When she was marrying the King of Chu, if something like this happened, she might be thrown away as a useless chess piece. How could Ling Fengyan be willing to suffer such a fate.
So even though Ling Fengyan had always been serious, he couldn't keep the gentleness on his face at this time, and said with an angry tone: "Don't embarrass yourself here today, go back home quickly."
After saying that, he turned to Ling Ruier's maid and said coldly: "Go and help the third lady home, she is sick."
"Yes!" The two maids didn't dare to say anything. They half supported and half pulled Ling Rui'er down, who had red eyes and covered her face.
Seeing Ling Rui'er being taken away, Ling Fengyan calmed down and put an elegant smile on her face again. She sat down in front of the guqin, raised her hand and gently stroked the qin. Immediately, the melodious sound of the qin came out, and the tree The woman underneath is still as beautiful as jade, making the peach blossoms in the tree pale.
Such an incident happened, but Mo Xuetong was not hurt at all. Given the temperament of the fifth princess, how could she bear it? She would definitely make trouble again. If he went there at this time, it would be nothing more than to be the gunman of the fifth princess, but Duke Dingguo's mansion also It's not that the fifth princess can afford it if she wants to. If the fifth princess wants to sit in the background and let Rui'er come forward, she must have that ability.
The value of a princess who is about to get married is not even as valuable as the person who is about to become a princess. So what if she is in the royal family? You have to marry well! (To be continued)
