"Who are you saying is sneaky?" Ji Lan was almost mad. The injustice she had suffered in the palace these days and the feelings of being unfair to Han Yan all came out at this moment. She pointed at the guard's nose fiercely: " Don’t look down on others!”
The guard felt a little guilty at first, but when he took a closer look at Ji Lan's dress, he immediately laughed again. He was just dressed like a servant, so he said: "Hey, I'm so scared. Who are you? Tell me?"
"You..." Ji Lan's face turned red with anger. This person's attitude is too bad. How can the palace allow such a person to guard the door? This mansion is getting more and more turbulent now. Ever since the Princess of Xirong came, everything has changed.
"Ji Lan." Han Yan shook his head at her. Every word of this guard looked down on Ji Lan, a typical dog-like look down on others. Unfortunately, she had always been a protective person. Although Ji Lan was just a slave, in Han Yan's heart, he treated her as a living thing. I came to see the warmest person around me for two lifetimes. She took a few steps forward and finally stopped in front of the guard.
"Who are you?" The guard was still cursing at Ji Lan. Ji Lan looked at Han Yan's eyes and raised his head proudly: "I told you, don't look down on others, I am the princess's maid."
The guard seemed to have heard some good joke and burst into laughter: "You stinky girl, you lie without knowing who you are right? I have seen the princess's maid, and she is much prettier than you. The princess looks like a fairy. , her maid is naturally very glamorous, which one is the same as yours?"
Ji Lan was a little happy at first when the guard said "the princess is very beautiful", but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong. Didn't the guard say "Miss Zhuang" before? Why is she now "Princess" again? Could it be that they are not talking about the same person? Could this person be talking about the Princess of Xirong
Ji Lan was stunned and immediately said: "The princess you are talking about is the princess of Xirong?"
The guard nodded: "Of course, is it possible that there are other princesses in the palace?"
Ji Lan sneered. This man kept flattering Princess Xirong, and he seemed to be a man who could adapt to the changing circumstances. She said: "I'm sorry, the emperor's decree has not yet come down. Our young lady is the real Princess Xuanqing." Ji Lan didn't know why she said that. In fact, she was very disdainful of Han Yan for snatching this Princess Xuanqing. name. Ever since Fu Yunxi brought Irina back this time, Ji Lan felt that the title of Princess Xuanqing was not worth fighting for like this for his own lady. But at this moment, when the guard said that the princess of Xuanqing Palace was not Han Yan, Ji Lan felt extremely sad and unwilling. She knew why. When her things were coveted by others, the person who was originally a thief suddenly turned into a mistress. This was a very angry thing. Therefore, Ji Lan now really wants to help Han Yan get some justice.
However, after listening to Ji Lan's words, the guard not only did not give in, but showed a contemptuous expression: "What are you talking about? Miss Zhuang is just a concubine, and... "
Before he finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound, and Ji Lan's slap had already hit the guard's face. Her expression was filled with anger, and Ji Lan couldn't bear to say these words in private. But this person actually said it in front of the young lady. Then wouldn't it be in vain that she and Shu Hong had tried every means to hide it from Han Yan and not let Han Yan know that people in the house were talking about her like this? This was the young lady she wanted to protect so much. How sad she must be now. The person who hurt the young lady is so hateful!
The guard did not expect that Ji Lan would suddenly take action. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and rushed over like a hungry tiger, as if he was going to give Ji Lan a hard beating. Shu Hong was startled. At this moment, she suddenly heard a voice: "Stop!"
This voice was clear and frank, but it contained a hint of indifference. This indifference was hidden so deeply that it seemed so slight that it could be ignored. However, as the sound floated into the ears, the coolness was everywhere.
When the guard heard the sound, he stopped unconsciously and raised his eyes to look in front of him, only to see a woman wearing a veil standing in front of him. She was dressed very plainly, but her aura of nobility was almost irresistible. He couldn't see his appearance clearly, so he stood there quietly, with only a pair of eyes showing, clear and deep, looking at himself lightly.
He suddenly shuddered in his heart. Why did this man's eyes look so similar to the prince's
After hesitating for a moment, he still asked: "Who are you?" There were too many people coming and going in this palace every day, and he was not sure that everyone knew them. Although this woman's face is covered, her natural nobility cannot be ignored. Could she be a noble person? He has always been smooth and cunning. If he offends someone who cannot be offended today, then his sin will be greater. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret his impulsive move. He originally wanted to show his loyalty to Princess Xirong, but it was not worthwhile to offend another nobleman for her.
Han Yan's face under the veil was expressionless: "Who am I?" She repeated slowly, as if she was asking the guard, but also as if she was asking herself. Suddenly he raised his hand and lifted the veil from his face neatly: "I am the concubine you mentioned, Zhuang Hanyan."
Her eyes were deep and cold, with a hint of aggression. The guard was unconsciously frightened by this aura and took a step back. When he figured out who Zhuang Hanyan was, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turns out it's Zhuang Hanyan." Miss, I'm offended." Even though he said this, he didn't feel sorry at all, and was rather frivolous.
Han Yan was not annoyed and smiled slightly: "What's your name?"
The guard was stunned. He didn't expect Han Yan to ask such a question. He subconsciously smiled and said, "Why did Miss Zhuang ask the slave's name? The slave... is just a rough man. I'm afraid he won't be able to catch the attention of the miss."
Han Yan looked at him and smiled faintly: "Who said I want you to fall in my eyes? Remember your name, that's because..." Her smile became brighter, but the meaning of ridicule was also stronger. Looking at the eight-foot-tall The tall man seemed to be looking at a plaything: "I don't know your name, how can I punish you?"
What is a naked threat? This is a naked threat. The unhesitating arrogance, contempt, and arrogance rushing out of her heart all indicate that this woman is indeed not in a good mood right now.
The guard felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but take two steps back. Didn’t I say that Ms. Zhuang was always gentle and approachable to people, always smiling? But when I looked at him today, there was no sign of weakness at all. It was clear that he was someone who was easy to bully. That's right, she grew up from an unpopular legitimate daughter whose mother died to even her father being taboo about her. Those aunts who opposed her in the Zhuang Mansion never had a good ending. If this woman is not too lucky, she must be very scheming. What she did recently seemed gentle, but in fact it was extremely fierce. The guard suddenly had a feeling that Princess Xirong was no match for Zhuang Hanyan. If Zhuang Hanyan really wanted to fight with Irina, then Irina Na is bound to die miserably.
