When it came to this matter, Han Jiao became very angry. The girl didn't want to act impulsively, but it was Zhuo Qinlan who wholeheartedly encouraged her, so she acted recklessly and committed such a wrong thing.
Han Jiao was about to argue again, but she heard a dull voice coming from behind them: "What are you talking about?"
The girls turned around and caught sight of the bright yellow figure. His features were as handsome as the clear mountains and blue sea, but there was an icy air lingering around him.
Xing Ying's eyes widened and she shouted at the girls, "Why don't you kneel down when you see His Highness?"
Only then did the girls react and hurriedly knelt down to say hello.
Zhu Yan's face was expressionless, and a pair of ice-covered peach eyes looked around the girls, with anger already rising in his eyes.
"Who wants to be the Crown Princess?" He looked at the five women kneeling on the gravel road shivering, his fists already clenched in Guang's sleeves.
The faces of Han Jiao, Zhao Shaolan and other women were pale. They all wanted to be the Crown Princess, but they didn't dare to say it out loud. No one knew that Xia Yuanqiu fell off a cliff and disappeared. It was probably a disaster, but His Highness the Crown Prince didn't believe it. He even asked his father to confer him the title of Crown Princess, which shows his deep love for Xia Yuanqiu. If anyone dares to mention establishing another Crown Princess in front of him, isn't that asking for death
Zhao Shaolan looked sideways at Han Jiao, with a trace of hatred in her heart. She suddenly pointed at Han Jiao and said, "Your Highness, it's her. She said she wanted to be the crown princess, and she said, and said -"
Zhu Yan's eyes deepened, and he said in a cold voice: "What else can you say?"
Zhao Shaolan continued: "He also said that the Crown Princess was already - and another Crown Princess should be established." She hesitated, saying half a sentence, but the effect was better than speaking a full sentence.
Han Jiao was shocked and retorted: "You are talking nonsense. When did I ever say such things? You are obviously slandering others."
Zhu Yan looked at Han Jiao's panic expression and remembered that she was the woman who insulted Yuan Qiu in Ding's house that day. He felt extremely disgusted in his heart and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the lesson I learned last time did not make you happy." Wake up."
He turned to Xing Ying and ordered: "Twenty palms and two hours of kneeling to make her remember."
Zhu Yan glanced at the other four women again, with anger boiling in his eyes, and said: "The rest of them will be slapped and punished by kneeling for two hours, and they will never be allowed to enter the palace again."
A slap in the face or a forced kneeling are nothing, they just stand up and get over it, but they will never be allowed to enter the palace again. This is a capital punishment for them who want to marry into the royal family.
Ignoring the begging of the girls for mercy, he turned around and left. As soon as he left the garden, he met the queen and the ladies coming out of the side hall.
"Prince, why are you here?"
Zhu Yan glanced at her coldly and hummed: "Is this a good show you arranged?" Zhu Yan's cold eyes glanced at the ladies again, snorted heavily and turned around to leave, walking as fast as the wind.
Empress Jiang frowned and looked at the palace maid who appeared behind Zhu Yan, with a questioning look on her face: "You didn't take the Crown Prince to the garden?"
The palace maid hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed first, and then said with tears in her eyes: "Back to the Queen, Your Highness the Crown Prince has already been to the garden, but, just -"
"It's just what? Why don't you tell me quickly?" Concubine Jiang's beautiful eyes were full of power and her voice was fierce. The little palace maid was so frightened that she trembled and couldn't even speak clearly: "Back, back to the queen, when the prince entered the garden, he I came across several ladies arguing about how Xiao wanted to be the Crown Princess, and His Highness the Crown Prince was furious and punished the ladies."
When the ladies heard that their daughters had been punished, they immediately screamed: "What were they punished for? What happened to them now?"
