At this moment, Li Qiu, the maid next to Princess Zhaoyan, came and said, "Your Highness, there is a letter from the palace. Your Majesty asked you and Miss Yan Ling to go there."
Princess Zhaoyan frowned and asked softly: "Why do we have to go together?"
"Probably because of what happened last time Bai Xueying pushed you into the water, the emperor wants to ask the two of you for your opinions on how to deal with Miss Bai?"
The two people's expressions instantly became solemn, but they packed up without saying a word and walked back to the palace.
In the afternoon, an exquisite sedan drove into the palace. The two of them sat on the sedan chair without saying a word.
This time the emperor called them over and insisted on asking for their opinions. In fact, to put it bluntly, he did not want to punish Bai Xueying severely. You must know that Bai Xueying's father also has the ability to change everything in the court and is not someone they can target. people.
Because of this, the emperor has been procrastinating about Bai Xueying's matter for so long, pushing it again and again, and only thought of a solution when he finally couldn't push it away.
But Princess Zhaoyan was a princess after all. If she was assassinated, the royal family would be in trouble.
If Princess Zhaoyan and Bai Xueying could reconcile, then everyone would be happy with this matter.
Anyone with some brains who has been in the palace for a long time knows the emperor's routine.
The emperor asked Princess Zhaoyan and Yan Ling to come over just because he wanted Princess Zhaoyan to forgive Bai Xueying and let the matter go.
After Princess Zhaoyan sat on the sedan and told Yan Ling her thoughts, Yan Ling nodded. The two of them got off the sedan and walked to the imperial study. They saw Bai Xueying being helped by a maid to the imperial study. went.
The three of them met in the open space in front of the imperial study. Princess Zhaoyan was surprised to find that Bai Xueying was not only not in jail, but her clothes were also very clean and tidy. It could be seen that she had been carefully dressed. This was obviously because she was in jail. Demonstrate to her openly!
No matter how good-tempered Zhaoyan was, she couldn't bear this situation. She sneered and walked up, stood in front of Bai Xueying, looked her up and down, and then asked softly: "What are you doing?" ?Is it possible that you have been living a cool life these days?"
Bai Xueying turned around and saw Princess Zhaoyan. She quickly and calmly bowed her head and saluted her, but there was no sign of respect on her face.
"I didn't expect to meet Princess Zhaoyan here. Judging from the appearance of Princess Zhaoyan, she must have been doing well recently, right? She seems to be in a good mood."
Every word this woman spoke was laced with thorns, which made Princess Zhaoyan very unhappy. Even Yan Ling could clearly feel that this woman was provoking them. She came up with something I will hurt you. What can you do to me with this attitude
Because Princess Zhaoyan now understands that the emperor is on Bai Xueying's side, can she be so bold and do whatever she wants
This woman seems to underestimate Princess Zhaoyan too much, right? You must know that Zhaoyan grew up in this palace, and she also knows a lot about the methods of competing with women.
Now that the emperor called her over, she would fight to the death with Bai Xueying.
Didn't Bai Xueying want to kill her? Then sooner or later she will take Bai Xueying's life away.
So Princess Zhaoyan said calmly: "I've been living quite well these days. I don't need to be frightened, and I don't need to let my father be so humble as to beg others. I am extremely free and easy. I don't know how Miss Bai has been lately. How is it? Ever since you pushed the princess into the water, it seems that you have no intention of repenting at all. Could it be that there is some powerful person behind you, which is why you are so arrogant? I don’t know that powerful person behind you. How long can people support you? If they can support you for a lifetime, that would be great. But if not, you can see which of us will be more arrogant in the future."
After the commander finished speaking, Princess Zhaoyan took Yan Ling to the imperial study room.
Bai Xueying was stunned for a long time, and then she showed a sweet smile. She thought Princess Zhaoyan was just angry that she was let go by the emperor. After all, she and her current situation were plotting to murder the princess. The crime was probably to be beheaded.
However, because her father entered the palace that night and knelt in front of the imperial study room, using his position to blackmail the emperor all day and night, the emperor had no choice but to release Bai Xueying.
Lord Bai has done so many things to get her out. Is it possible that Zhaoyan can send her to jail again with just a casual word? That is impossible. The power of the Bai family is far greater than that of Zhaoyan. The princess has too much on her mind.
In comparison, a princess who has no role in the court and is only used for marriage, and another minister who is strategizing in the court, even a fool knows who to choose.
In addition, Princess Zhaoyan is now getting married to Bai Sulan from Dongli Kingdom. When this girl marries to Dongli Kingdom, the affairs of the entire country will have nothing to do with her.
Princess Zhaoyan really takes herself too seriously, thinking that since she is the princess, the emperor will listen to her, right
Princess Zhaoyan went in first. When the emperor saw them coming, he pointed to the seat next to him and said in a clear voice: "Sit down. I have something to ask you. Is the girl from the Bai family here?"
Zhaoyan pointed to the door. Bai Xueying came in and bowed first, then respectfully walked to the seat and sat down.
When the emperor saw that the expressions of these three girls were very indifferent, and they were not as impulsive as he imagined, he already knew that these people had met outside, so he said to Zhaoyan without beating around the bush: "Zhaoyan, you have been impatient since you were a child and cannot tolerate anything unfair. However, I have also heard about the incident a few days ago. I think you are making a mountain out of a molehill. This matter may not be as complicated as you think."
Princess Zhaoyan turned her head and looked at the emperor in shock. Is this what he should say
The emperor observed Princess Zhaoyan's expression calmly, and when he saw her shock and displeasure, he continued: "You have grown up, and you must learn to sit down calmly and explain this matter clearly and discuss it. It’s best to deal with it, as this concerns the royal family’s face.”
At the last sentence, the emperor's tone actually worsened.
"Since it is related to the face of the royal family, does the emperor want to maintain the dignity of the royal family this time, or to maintain the stability of the entire court?"
Princess Zhaoyan asked, her eyes glaring at the emperor, making the emperor unable to help but want to avoid her gaze.
