Under the leadership of Xiao Ran, this Xiang Chu Qingyan and others were strolling around the garden when suddenly a group of women with bad expressions came across them.
Chu Qingyan felt that the other party's eyes were on her, so she couldn't help but look up, seeing that the woman at the head was a little familiar, and thinking back, it was the woman who played chess with her at the palace banquet that night, what was her name? Pearl is coming.
Hua Xiuli thought that these people were coming at her, because she received a lot of scorn today, she couldn't help but walk forward, but just a few steps, she was stopped by the people around her.
"It's for me." Chu Qingyan whispered.
Hua Xiu Li paused in her steps, then stood beside her, which added aura to her invisibly.
Xiao Ran also saw these people, but he didn't feel the strange atmosphere, and was planning to go to the other side with Qingyan. Today's participation in the poetry festival is fake, but cultivating feelings is true. He has to determine whether Qingyan has feelings for him or not. to propose an opinion on the dissolution of the marriage contract.
But these people stood in their way.
"Fourth Highness, Miss Chu." Jing Mingzhu and the woman beside her saluted several people.
Xiao Ran didn't have the time to greet them, and smiled slightly, "Miss Jing and a few ladies are polite, you are also here to participate in the poetry party, and you can play well later, then this hall will disturb your interest in enjoying."
Said that Xiao Ran and Chu Qingyan were about to go to another road, but unexpectedly the road was blocked by these people, Xiao Ran frowned slightly.
Jing Mingzhu had not been in such a mood just now. At this time, she found that Xiao Ran didn't even look at her, so how could she go back and deal with her father and mother, and her self-esteem suffered a strong blow.
"His Royal Highness, Miss Chu and I met at the palace banquet. Although I lost to her in chess skills, I am very convinced. I want to exchange poetry with her at this time. Is it convenient or not?"
Jing Mingzhu asked herself that none of the girls in the capital could surpass her in literary talent, which is why she dared to come out and compete with Chu Qingyan.
If Xiao Ran could see his shining point, maybe he would keep his eyes on him and take the opportunity to humiliate Chu Qingyan.
When Chu Qingyan heard this, she twitched the corners of her mouth. Why do these Kyoto women always like to use competitions to show their talents, so why can't they just sit down and have a good chat
She regretted coming to this poetry meeting.
"Ms. Jing, in terms of poetry, if you don't show your talent, you won't be ugly." She replied lightly.
"Isn't it? Mingzhu has already humbly asked for advice. Why do you say that? Are you incomparable? Or do you think we are not worthy of being your opponents?" One of the women said sharply, as if Chu Qingyan looked down on them. As soon as he raised his tone, it attracted the attention of many people, and the eyes of Chu Qingyan and his party were a little weird, as if they were blaming and accusing.
Hua Xiu snorted coldly, "Can't you understand people's words? Qing Yan said it clearly and clearly, she felt that this Miss Jing was better than her, so she declined, how come it came to your mouth and became I look down on you guys, hey, it’s not like this is the way to splash dirty water, if you want to run on people, just do it righteously, don’t do this kind of falsehood.”
The temperament in the flower sleeves is there, and it is impossible for people to bully their friends like this.
"you-"
Kyoto women are used to being reserved. Even if they are secretly discordant, they are polite on the surface. I have never seen such a sharp and savage woman. Jing Mingzhu and others seem to be slapped hard in public, but they are in the way. Yu etiquette, I don't know how to refute it, I can only have red ears there.
Seeing this, Xiao Ran understood that they were playing tricks, and felt unhappy in his heart. It was so annoying that he dared to slander and slander in front of him.
"Ms. Jing, since Qingyan has already said that he doesn't want to discuss, don't be hard on others, we have to go somewhere else, sorry."
Xiao Ran's tone was blunt, and his tone was not polite at all, which made these women turn pale, knowing that he was angry and did not dare to provoke him again, and immediately took a few steps back and gave way.
Xiao Ran turned to Chu Qingyan and said with a smile, "Come on, Aunt Huiyu has planted a lot of exotic flowers and plants, I'll show you guys here."
With that said, the group left in front of Jing Mingzhu and the others.
Losing such a big face in front of the fourth hall, Jing Mingzhu's face was ugly and embarrassed.
"The Chu family is just a declining family, and it has never been brilliant. Why is Chu Qingyan favored by so many people? Needless to say, the Emperor Taishang and His Majesty, even the King Ying and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince are very interested in her, it's really strange! ' one of the women muttered.
"Do you need to say it? You see how charming she looks, as long as she beckons, countless men are scrambling to get close, I say—" Before the other woman could finish speaking, Jing Mingzhu's glare came. She fell silent.
Jing Mingzhu faced several people and said with a gloomy face, "It's impossible for a person as outstanding as the Fourth Highness to be like what you said, Chu Qingyan must be obsessed with him, the Fourth Highness sees that she is his future royal sister-in-law, it's not easy to shirk it. , you will stop talking nonsense in the future."
The several women looked at each other, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that these four highnesses took the initiative to lean on him. Didn't they see that Chu Qingyan treated him very normally
But Jing Mingzhu's father was the Minister of Rites, they were not easy to offend, so they could only go along.
After Jing Mingzhu and his party left, one master and one servant appeared.
It was because the tall locust tree blocked the figure and no one could discover it.
Yao Ruoying narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the direction in which Chu Qingyan's group left. Chu Qingyan, why are you able to become Princess Ying and get preferential treatment from the Fourth Prince
A vicious look flashed by, she suddenly had a plan, and slowly raised her lips.
Since there are so many men around you, then I'll let you taste what it means to suffer the consequences and be ruined. If His Royal Highness King Ying knew that you were such a frivolous person, he might abandon you.
The more she thinks about Yao Ruoying, the happier she is.
"Go, go to a crowded place."
She returned to her gentle appearance, and walked in the opposite direction with her maid. Chu Qingyan, you wait, after the poetry meeting, you will know how powerful I am.
It was already far away, Chu Qingyan smiled and looked at the person beside him, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful. It seems that you don't need me to go out in the future, and those provocative people will be scared away by you."
She cut her sleeves and said, "Auntie has traveled all over the world for so many years, and she has traveled more salt than they have eaten. She dares to come to me and talk nonsense at this level. I am really impatient."
"Girl Hua is really a hero among women, and she has the straightforwardness of children from all corners of the world! I admire it!" Xiao Ran couldn't help but praise.
Chu Qingyan smiled and said, "Don't praise her, maybe her tail will be up after a while."
The flower sleeve stuck out his tongue at her.
Just when a few people wanted to say something, they saw the flow of people rushing in one direction.
