Chapter 138: A Beautiful Face with a Serious Heart
Everyone looked at the prince, and He Baozhu rubbed his hands excitedly.
Can this kind of plot be played out every day? She would have been bored to death in ancient times without a mobile phone to play with, but today she played such a big game in one day, it was exciting!
Qiao Yihuan didn't look at anyone, but just lowered her head slightly and looked at the cup of tea in front of her, but in her heart she was also looking forward to His Highness's answer.
Jiang Qiyun glanced at Qiao Wanyan with interest, as if he was watching a joke.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Wanyan just looked at him and snorted, rolled her eyes at him and looked away. Immediately, the smile on Jiang Qiyun's lips was suppressed.
Yun Yao was choking a little while eating the Hundred Flower Cake. Everyone present was silent, waiting for the prince to speak. Only Yun Yao could not see the solemn atmosphere and started to speak while mumbling.
"Who is good and who is bad? Anyway, Sister A Yan is definitely good. She brought me by her side, gave me delicious food and drinks, and let me play in the capital. There is no better person in the world than Sister A Yan!"
Xiaoying frowned and looked at her. It was true that the child would be nice to whoever gave her food and drink. The second young lady was just relying on having a good mother and squandering the money from her grandfather's family to gain a good reputation.
He Zhiyu was silent for a moment and then said calmly: "Everyone is born with good and bad sides. How can you judge whether a person is good or bad in one sentence?"
He Yanli's smile did not diminish, but the coldness and mockery on his face became more and more visible.
"Then my Royal Brother, what do you think are the strengths and weaknesses of the two daughters of the Qiao family?" He paused after he finished speaking. "I just said it casually anyway. My Royal Brother is the Crown Prince, are you afraid of offending people?"
He Zhiyu remained calm, but Jing Yuan spoke up for his master, "Then Your Majesty, what do you think are the strengths and weaknesses of the two young ladies of the Qiao family?"
He Yanli suddenly chuckled and leaned lazily on the back of his chair, unable to conceal the powerful aura and dignity that was born from a noble family.
The prince has always been reluctant to say such offensive words.
To secure the position of Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, there are naturally many taboos. He would appear calm on the surface but be ruthless and ruthless in private.
But He Yanli was different, he always did things to suit his own wishes. He never cared about embarrassing others.
He is capable of even giving the emperor the cold shoulder, so this kind of thing is nothing at the moment.
But when asked by the prince's close attendant, he could have refused, but He Yanli did not.
He said it, and the prince had to say it even if he didn't want to.
"The merits of the eldest daughter of the Qiao family are that she is gentle, kind, and benevolent. She treats people of higher or lower status with the same attitude. She is the most gentle person I have ever seen."
Everyone was surprised when these words were spoken.
It was nothing else but the fact that Prince Jing had never liked Qiao Yihuan. He even cut off the arm of Qiao Yihuan's close maid and almost killed her.
Just because Qiao Yihuan casually said that she wanted to hurt Xiaoying, he killed her first. If the prince had not arrived in time, Qiao Yihuan would have died in the wilderness.
But even Qiao Yihuan herself did not expect such high evaluation.
She thought that His Royal Highness Prince Jing had never liked her, but at this moment, she felt that His Royal Highness Prince Jing did not really hate her.
It was just because he was bewitched by Qiao Wanyan before she abandoned him, so he didn't have a good impression of herself.
But time will tell!
Qiao Wanyan looked at He Yanli who was diagonally opposite her, frowning slightly with dissatisfaction. The moment she looked at him, she did not hide her dissatisfaction in her eyes and did not avoid his gaze.
He Yanli found it funny that he was still looking that stupid.
She is spoiled and willful, and will turn her face away if she is not satisfied.
He Yanli added: "Disadvantages, all the advantages are just false appearances. When she encounters grievances, she will only cry and someone will help her out. She will always be the most innocent person."
What kind of temperament will she show if there is no one around to protect her?
But He Yanli was not interested in these.
Qiao Yihuan's face suddenly turned pale, and he felt countless gazes falling on him. His fingertips trembled slightly, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
She raised her head and looked at He Yanli in confusion, "Your Majesty, I didn't do that. Why did you humiliate me like this?"
He Yanli sneered, "I just told you the truth, but you have to accept false compliments? Do you deserve my compliments?"
Everyone knew that King Jing would not tolerate anyone, but since Qiao Yihuan was embarrassed at this moment, everyone became more cautious in their words and actions, fearing that they would offend him and be reprimanded in public.
Especially Guo Licheng, she is the most humble one.
Although Qiao Yihuan was a concubine's daughter, she was also the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. She was the daughter of a small sixth-rank official, and in the eyes of King Jing, she was nothing.
Guo Licheng secretly advised himself that even if he clung to Miss Qiao Er, he should stay away from Prince Jing.
Qiao Yihuan couldn't utter a word. The mist blurred her vision. The moment she lowered her head, tears began to fall one after another like a bead curtain with a broken string.
He Zhiyu said in a deep voice: "How can you make such absurd statements about someone you don't know? Yihuan is a good girl, and she is definitely not as despicable as you say."
He has known Yihuan for much longer than He Yanli, so how could he not know what kind of person Yihuan is?
In other words, he and He Yanli have known each other since childhood. Even if he doesn't know Yihuan, doesn't he know him?
He Yanli just sneered, said nothing, and just glanced at Qiao Wanyan.
Look, how much maintenance?
Jiang Qiyun said: "What about Qiao Wanyan? You mentioned Sister Yihuan, but you haven't mentioned her yet!"
Qiao Wanyan is the person He Yanli hates the most in his life. He is so ruthless to Sister Yihuan. Qiao Wanyan will only be worse than Sister Yihuan, and will never be better than Sister Yihuan.
He Yanli raised one eyebrow slightly, "She?"
After he finished speaking, he did not rush to speak, but picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly.
But in the eyes of everyone, it seemed like there were too many comments about Qiao Wanyan, and they had to drink a cup of tea to moisten their throats first, because they couldn't finish talking about it in a short time.
"A beautiful face, but a vicious heart."
Everyone: “…”
That’s it?
Finished?
Qiao Wanyan's eyebrows and eyes were curved like a crescent moon, and her clear peach eyes were embedded with bright stars. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her smile was as charming as a crabapple intoxicated by the sun.
She stroked her cheek, looking a little embarrassed and lowering her eyes, and said softly, "It's not that pretty."
Everyone fell silent again. No, Miss Qiao Er, you automatically ignored the last three words, right?
He Yanli was also stunned for a moment, his thin lips slightly opened and then pursed unconsciously.
The expression on his face changed subtly, and his gaze could not be withdrawn for a long time.
He Baozhu was sitting opposite him, and at a glance she saw the fleeting hint of aggression and strong possessiveness deep in He Yanli's eyes.
