588 Phoenix Hairpin, I am arrogant, so what?

Nothing good happens every time I meet you!

Even though he was extremely anxious and worried, Zhai Dongming couldn't help laughing when he heard Feng Qingchen's teasing and ostentatious words. How could the Imperial Guards leave the palace for no reason? Really...

The commander of the imperial guards was very thin-skinned. When Feng Qingchen teased him and Zhai Dongming smiled at him, his face turned red: "Miss Feng, I will only leave the palace when I am on business, so..." It's not that he is fine seeing me, but that only when I leave the palace, nothing good will happen.

Uh... the commander of the Imperial Guards' face immediately turned dark, and he couldn't say the following words. It was just like Feng Qingchen said, no good would come from seeing him.

Hahaha... Zhai Dongming laughed even more exaggeratedly. Feng Qingchen was able to make the commander of the Imperial Guard speechless. He was really becoming more and more capable.

The guards behind him couldn't stop laughing, their shoulders trembled, and the spears in their hands shook slightly. The tense situation was eased a lot by this laugh, and the spears in the guards' hands didn't seem so cold and murderous anymore.

Zhai Dongming secretly gave Feng Qingchen a thumbs up. He was amazing. With just a few words, he took control of the situation and resolved the grim situation.

Feng Qingchen also smiled, guessing that Tong Jue should have brought the phoenix hairpin. Seeing that the commander of the imperial guards was getting more and more embarrassed, Feng Qingchen stopped and bowed to the commander of the imperial guards: "My lord, Qingchen said something without meaning it. Please don't mind. I don't know why you came to visit me."

Be polite before using force. No matter how arrogant and presumptuous Feng Qingchen is, she must have the proper manners and bearing. She cannot let people accuse her of being uneducated.

"Miss Feng, there is no need to be so polite. I am doing my duty under the order of the Emperor. Miss Feng, the phoenix hairpin you wore on your head on November 18th when you and the Ninth Uncle entered the city was against the rules. No one in the world can wear it except the Empress. Miss Feng has committed the following crime and has disrespected the dignity of the royal family. You have violated the rules by wearing the phoenix hairpin and should be executed according to the law. Miss Feng, please..." The commander of the Imperial Guard repeated Feng Qingchen's crime according to the procedure, ignoring the meaning of his words and was quite polite.

Feng Qingchen was polite and easy to talk to. As long as Feng Qingchen did not resist, he would not use force. After all, he and Feng Qingchen were acquaintances, and he personally admired Feng Qingchen's way of doing things. It was just... Feng Qingchen was too arrogant and was being remembered by the emperor.

Feng Qingchen already knew why, so he was not panicked: "Sir, it is not wrong for Qingchen to wear the phoenix hairpin, but it is not beyond the rules, and it is not a violation of the rules."

Her eyebrows were slightly raised, looking sharp and intimidating, and her cold and beautiful face was intimidating without even being angry. It was completely different from her smiling, friendly and polite appearance just now. At this moment, Feng Qingchen was solemn, dignified, and elegant.

The commander of the Imperial Guards panicked at Feng Qingchen's glare and took a step back involuntarily. When he realized what was happening, he cursed inwardly at being a coward and stepped forward again.

The commander of the imperial guards straightened his back and did not dare to look Feng Qingchen in the eye. He said coldly, "Miss Feng, whether you have committed any crime or disrespected the royal family, it is useless to tell me. I am ordered to arrest Miss Feng and bring her to justice. The emperor will make the final decision on right and wrong."

"Your Excellency is right. The Emperor will give me justice, but..." Feng Qingchen stopped here, looking unfathomable.

His eyes fell on the gate that was broken down by the guards. Well, he made a note of it.

The commander of the Imperial Guard frowned in dissatisfaction, ignoring Feng Qingchen's natural dignity and the majesty that frightened him, and said calmly: "Miss Feng, don't be too arrogant. My patience is limited. If Miss Feng doesn't cooperate, don't blame me for being unreasonable."

The meaning of this statement is to take action.

Zhai Dongming's expression changed, and he was about to step forward and use the name of Prince Su's Mansion to drive away the commander of the imperial guards, but Feng Qingchen waved at him, signaling him not to move. At this time, Tong Jue came over with a wooden tray in his hands. On the tray was a piece of bright red brocade, on which was placed the phoenix hairpin that Feng Qingchen wore that day.

Once the phoenix hairpin comes out, the winner is decided.

Feng Qingchen glanced with disdain at the guards who filled her yard. Her eyes fell on the commander of the guards. You say she, Feng Qingchen, is arrogant? Then she, Feng Qingchen, will be arrogant for everyone to see.

Feng Qingchen stroked the hair beside her ears, looking embarrassed: "My lord, Qingchen also wants to go with you, but unfortunately...you don't have the ability to take Qingchen away."

"Feng Qingchen, you are so bold! Come here, capture him for me." The commander of the Imperial Guard shouted angrily. Zhai Dongming was also startled, with an incredible look on his face.

Feng Qingchen is not crazy.

"Stop!" Zhai Dongming hurried forward, trying to stop the Imperial Guards from using force, but unfortunately the Imperial Guards were following the Emperor's orders and did not take the son of Prince Su seriously at all.

"Swish..." The guard stepped forward, with the spear poked into Feng Qingchen's neck. The cold tip of the spear pointed at Feng Qingchen's throat and head. With just a little force, Feng Qingchen could be executed on the spot.

Feng Qingchen's expression remained unchanged. His sharp eyes locked onto the commander of the Imperial Guards and he shouted angrily, "Bold? If you want to talk about boldness, your Excellency is the most courageous."

Feng Qingchen snorted contemptuously, and before the commander of the Imperial Guard could speak, he said to Tong Jue who was standing at the other end, "Tong Jue, bring up the phoenix hairpin bestowed by the late emperor."

"What? The phoenix hairpin bestowed by the late emperor?" Except for Feng Qingchen, everyone present was shocked, especially the guards who were pointing the long hairpin at Feng Qingchen. They all looked uneasy and took a step back quietly.

"That's right, it's the phoenix hairpin bestowed by the late emperor. If you want to hold Qingchen accountable, of course you have to see what illegal item Qingchen is wearing." Feng Qingchen was arrogant and full of threats.

"Get out of the way." Tong Jue was indeed alert enough. With a humble look on his face, he held the phoenix hairpin respectfully and walked towards Feng Qingchen step by step. Wherever he went, the guards took a step back, opening their eyes wide, trying to see the phoenix hairpin on the tray clearly.

Feng Qingchen would never dare to say anything nonsense about the gift from the late emperor, but she dared to say it in public that this phoenix hairpin must have been a gift from the late emperor. It looked like their efforts today would be in vain.

"Miss, the phoenix hairpin is here." Tong Jue knelt in front of Feng Qingchen and raised the tray in his hand above his head.

"Very good!" Feng Qingchen picked up the phoenix hairpin and handed it to the commander of the Imperial Guards: "Sir, you want to punish Qingchen, right? Now please look carefully, what is this?"

All the imperial objects have the royal symbol, and this phoenix hairpin has one. Not only that, there are four characters engraved on the end of the hairpin. These four characters are...

"Mother of the Kingdom of Dongling!" The commander of the Royal Guards was wide-eyed.

"That's right, it's the Queen Mother of Dongling. Your Excellency can see it clearly." Feng Qingchen smiled proudly. Even if she, Feng Qingchen, is arrogant, so what? If she has the ability, punish her.

Humph, even the emperor dares not refute the late emperor!

"I am sorry for the offense, please forgive me, Miss Feng." The commander of the imperial guards turned pale and immediately changed the address from "this official" to "your humble servant". He lowered his body and prepared to kneel down.

Feng Qingchen raised his foot and placed it just on the knee of the commander of the Imperial Guards: "Sir, don't be in a hurry to kneel. You haven't finished reading yet."

"Huh?" The commander of the Imperial Guard stood there in astonishment, watching Feng Qingchen turn the phoenix hairpin around, and there were actually four words on the back: "My Lord, look carefully, don't accuse me of stealing the gift from the Emperor."

"Empress Shengmin!" The commander of the imperial guards leaned forward and read out the four words on the phoenix hairpin. Although the words were small, they were clearly visible. There was also a watermark on the words that read "Imperial Made", which could definitely not be faked.

As soon as the words "Empress Shengmin" came out, it was clear even if one used one's knees to think that the phoenix hairpin was for the Ninth Prince. After all, Empress Shengmin had only one son, the Ninth Prince. Empress Shengmin's things were of no use to anyone except the Ninth Prince.

"That's right. It's the phoenix hairpin that the late emperor made for Empress Shengmin. My lord, you can kneel down now. This phoenix hairpin has the words 'Mother of the Kingdom of Dongling' written on it by the late emperor himself. This phoenix hairpin represents me, Empress Shengmin, the Mother of the Kingdom of Dongling." Feng Qingchen retracted his foot and held up the phoenix hairpin.

It was at this time that the commander of the Imperial Guards discovered that the eight characters "Empress Shengmin" and "Mother of the Kingdom of Dongling" were indeed the handwriting of the late emperor. The origin of this phoenix hairpin was too great.

"Bong..." The commander of the Imperial Guards did not dare to think too much and took the lead in kneeling down. When the Imperial Guards saw this, they hurriedly put away their weapons and knelt down in unison. Zhai Dongming was still confused. He had never imagined that a phoenix hairpin that Feng Qingchen casually carried with him could have such a great origin.

But no matter whether he figured it out or not, he had to kneel down and shout "Long live the emperor" at this time, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the late emperor and Empress Shengmin.

Humph... Feng Qingchen sneered, his cold eyes full of mockery.

The emperor was looking for trouble, but now he has hit the wall. No matter how brave the emperor is, he dare not criticize the late emperor. This phoenix hairpin is a real slap in the face for the emperor.

It is true that Feng Qingchen is wearing a phoenix hairpin, but that hairpin was given by the previous emperor. Although it was given to the Ninth Prince, the Ninth Prince let Feng Qingchen wear it, so they cannot say no. The thing belongs to the Ninth Prince, and he can give it to whoever he wants.

At this time, the imperial guards dared not question Feng Qingchen. After they stood up, they apologized to Feng Qingchen and left in disgrace, ready to return to the palace to be scolded by the emperor. As soon as they reached the door, Feng Qingchen stopped them and said, "Wait."

The commander of the Imperial Guard paused for three seconds before turning around and asked timidly, "Miss Feng, do you have any other instructions?"

The commander of the Imperial Guard was tense and uneasy. He was really afraid that Feng Qingchen would embarrass him or cause him trouble. Although the Phoenix Hairpin in Feng Qingchen's hand could not mobilize troops or take power, but...

They did not dare to be disrespectful to Feng Qingchen, otherwise they would be accused of disrespecting the late emperor and Queen Shengmin, which would be enough to make them suffer.

Feng Qingchen was very satisfied with the obedience of the guards. He pointed to the door that was broken by the guards and said seriously, "Sir, you broke my door, shouldn't you pay for it?"

"Puff..." The commander of the Royal Guards almost vomited blood.

You scolded them so seriously just to break a door. Feng Qingchen, you are really arrogant and insolent. No wonder the emperor would take action against a small figure like Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen has the ability to drive a saint crazy!
