Chapter 83 Who is Blind?
Xie Changning paused and looked in the direction of the voice. The person who spoke these words was actually Princess Duanyang.
How come she doesn't remember that she offended Princess Duanyang?
As soon as Princess Duanyang opened her mouth, everyone looked at her. All those present today were important figures, and the way they looked at her changed instantly.
It's as if she really stole a man.
She won't take the blame for this.
"Greetings, Princess Duanyang." She walked up with a smile and bowed to her. "I'm truly flattered by your words, Princess."
She looked calm and said, "I am already quite old, with five children and a widow. Princess, since you said that, I must know those blind bees and butterflies. Please introduce them to me. Maybe I can actually attract a bee or butterfly, and that would be a good deed for you, Princess."
For a moment, everyone looked at Princess Duanyang.
It can be seen that Xie Changning's words touched their hearts.
They knew something about the wife of Marquis Jing'an. Although she was still quite pretty, she was not the kind of person who would attract many men.
Otherwise, why wait until today?
Princess Duanyang was choked by her words, "I don't have the ability of the Marquis's wife."
Xie Changning shook his head. "Princess, you're wrong. How could you not have such great abilities? If there really are such blind bees and butterflies, please introduce them to me. I really want to see them. Who could be so blind that they're so eager to be someone else's father?"
Princess Duanyang looked at her suspiciously. Could it be that her aunt was lying to her?
Although Xie Changning's words were a bit rough, they made a lot of sense. She was a widow with a lot of burdens.
Would a man like him be interested in her?
Unless... he is severely blind!
Compared to her, Xie Changning is not even as good as her by a hair.
"This princess was just joking with the Marquis' wife. Why should the Marquis take it to heart?" It was obvious that Princess Duanyang wanted to keep the peace.
"Princess, I'm serious. How can you joke about such a good thing? Could it be that the princess is hiding it and wants to keep it for herself?" Xie Changning was smiling when she said this, but every word she said was full of thorns.
So what if she's a princess?
Just want to put the blame on her for no reason.
No way.
Sure enough, Princess Duanyang's face froze, and anger was visibly on her face. She was about to speak.
Xie Changning curled his lips and smiled, "Oh, I was just joking with you, Princess. Please don't be upset. Everyone in Shengjing knows that you are deeply devoted. Heaven and earth can bear witness to your love. You are truly admirable."
She bowed and said, "I wish Princess that all her wishes will come true soon."
She spoke sincerely.
But was she really blessing Princess Duanyang?
No, she was poking at Princess Duanyang's heart.
Princess Duanyang's expression grew increasingly grim. If it were any other occasion, she would have lost her temper, but now she had to remain calm. "Thanks to the Marquis's good words, I will definitely get what I wish for."
After saying this, Princess Duanyang left everyone far behind.
Xie Changning lowered his eyes slightly. Everyone knew that Princess Duanyang was infatuated with Pei Zhi, but Pei Zhi avoided her as much as possible. This was the pain in Princess Duanyang's heart.
She just wanted to make Princess Duanyang feel pain.
She spoke as if she was completely infatuated. As soon as Pei Zhi got into trouble in her previous life, she immediately distanced herself from him.
At that time, the Fourth Prince was already the new emperor. In order to please the Fourth Prince, after Pei Zhi died, she even ordered his body to be dug out and whipped in public.
After Pei Zhi got into trouble, she and the Duke's Mansion ran around for Pei Zhi and collected a lot of evidence to prove that Pei Zhi was innocent.
But His Majesty insisted on having Pei Zhi killed.
At that time, she couldn't understand why His Majesty did this.
It was not until the last birthday banquet for the wife of Duke Lu that she understood why His Majesty was determined to get rid of Pei Zhi.
Because he had known for a long time that Pei Zhi was the prince's man!
If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you will always find a pretext.
Fortunately, in this life, she and Pei Zhi are in the same camp.
Princess Duanyang hit a snag with Xie Changning. She stormed into the eldest princess's bedroom and said, "Aunt, who told you these words? Let that bitch come to see me. I have something to ask her."
"Okay, auntie knows, this is not worth your anger." The eldest princess still loves her niece very much. It's because she is the most beloved daughter of His Majesty!
Shen Jingyun was brought in quickly.
Princess Duanyang slapped her across the face. "Who allowed you to slander him like this? Did you see it with your own eyes, or do you have any evidence? How dare you smear his reputation like this? Xie Changning is old and ugly. Is he blind? If you don't explain clearly, I will kill you!"
Shen Jingyun was slapped to the ground by her. She had seen Princess Duanyang before. Would Princess Duanyang dare to treat her like this at that time?
She is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family.
Princess Duanyang doesn’t dare!
"This is what my grandmother told me personally. I would never dare to say a word of falsehood. If you don't believe me, Princess, you can give it a try." She concealed the anger in her eyes and knelt on the ground with a humble look.
"Oh! Tell me, how do you try it?" Princess Duanyang immediately became interested. Over the years, all the women who dared to approach Pei Zhi were chopped into pieces by her and thrown to feed the snakes.
Shen Jingyun was waiting for her to say this. The angrier Princess Duanyang was, the more miserable her mother's fate would be.
She leaned over and whispered a few words in Princess Duanyang's ear.
Princess Duanyang curled her lips and smiled after hearing this.
The sun is shining brightly.
Today's flower viewing banquet is held by the lake.
Since we are here to appreciate flowers, how can we do without flowers!
At first glance, the lake is full of blooming lotus flowers of various colors, which is really beautiful.
"Greetings, the eldest princess." After all the guests arrived, the eldest princess came slowly with Princess Duanyang, and everyone stood up and saluted.
Princess Duanyang stared at Xie Changning with unfriendly eyes for several times.
The aunt and niece were in perfect sync, and the eldest princess glanced at Xie Changning calmly.
After everyone sat down, the eldest princess smiled and said, "The lotus flowers are blooming beautifully this year, but admiring them every year seems a bit boring. Why don't we look at something interesting today?"
Everyone spoke up in agreement.
The eldest princess raised her right hand slightly.
Soon, the sound of stringed instruments began to sound, and white mist rose in the center of the lake, like ethereal fairy air, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
After the white mist dissipates.
There was a small boat in the middle of the lake, and a graceful girl with a veil on her face and holding a blooming lotus was dancing in the middle of the lake, looking like the lotus had become a spirit.
Xie Changning recognized at a glance that the person dancing was not someone else, but Shen Jingyun.
