Chapter 262 He and Wen Ningning were unable to reconcile, and Xie Si fell here, jumping and dancing
Xie Shian came to Wen Xingluo and pulled her behind him as if to protect her.
He gnashed his teeth like a vicious dog and glared at Xie Mingrui fiercely, "Who the hell are you? How dare you touch my little sister?!"
Wen Xingluo stared at his back in a daze.
This person...
Thinking of what her cousin had confessed to her in the bedroom, she guessed that this person must be her fourth brother, Xie Shian, in the Zhenbei Palace.
Xie Mingrui stood up.
He stared at Xie Shian closely, his eyes revealing the excitement of seeing prey.
People from the Zhenbei Palace came to the capital one after another, so he didn't have to go to Rongcheng to deal with them.
He laughed and said, "Who am I? I am the ninth son of the current emperor!"
Xie Shian: “…”
This guy is actually a prince.
He wasn't afraid, but just sneered slowly, "So what? I'm still the fourth son of the King of Zhenbei!"
Xie Mingrui said solemnly, "The current crown prince is my biological brother."
Xie Shian didn't care, "So what? The current commander of the Southwest Army is also my brother!"
Xie Mingrui: “…”
He stared at Xie Shian with a complicated expression, not understanding why this man was so carefree. He was not scared by him at all. After all, if he were an ordinary young man, he would have knelt down upon hearing the names of the emperor and the crown prince!
I think it’s because he is young and grew up in a remote area, so he doesn’t understand the rules.
He turned to Xie Yanchen.
It would be fine if Xie Shian didn't understand, but Xie Yanchen should at least understand how noble his status is.
However, Xie Yanchen looked at his nose and his heart, and he also had no intention of greeting or saying hello.
Xie Mingrui was a little annoyed.
He was about to get angry when the senior palace maidservant beside Concubine Zhang came over and said that the banquet was about to begin.
The brother and sister left Chaofeng Pavilion unwillingly with the young man and woman they were friends with.
Xie Shian turned to Wen Xingluo and flicked her forehead. "If I had known you would be bullied, I shouldn't have let you come to the capital!"
Wen Xingluo covered his forehead.
Xie Yanchen handed the bundle he had brought to Wen Xingluo and said gently, "Sister, these are what Grandma asked us to bring. They are some special cakes and pastries from Chengdu. Grandma said that although the capital is rich and prosperous, it is not her hometown after all. Grandma was afraid that you would miss home."
Wen Xingluo opened the bundle.
Inside the bundle was an exquisite savings box filled with cakes wrapped in kraft paper and red ropes. The packaging was very tight, showing that the person who prepared the cakes was extremely attentive.
"There was originally a box of jujube paste cake," Xie Yanchen frowned, "but unfortunately, my fourth brother ate it all on the way."
Xie Shian choked and quickly argued, "Ningning, you don't know how fast we walked along the way. I was almost vomiting from eating dry food every day, so I couldn't help it... Oh, at worst, I can cook for you tomorrow and make you a plate of jujube paste cake to make amends!"
Wen Xingluo stared at them and clearly understood the concern in their eyes.
My cousin was right, the people in Zhenbei Palace really loved her.
She didn't want them to worry about her being in danger, so she smiled sweetly, "Thank you, second brother and fourth brother! I will eat all these cakes!"
"Look at you. You've been in the capital for a few months, and you've become estranged from us." Xie Shian was unhappy and suddenly looked across at the Chaofeng Pavilion. "Brother, I saw you walking back and forth on that road several times. What are you doing?"
Wen Xingluo looked at Xie Guanlan.
In the spring breeze, the young man in red clothes and jade belt has a graceful figure. His deep eyebrows seem to contain the cold water of the dry mountains in spring. His whole body is filled with the unique cold and solemnity of the borderland, which forcibly suppresses the beauty of the red clothes. He is as warm yet noble as the cold sun.
He was even more dazzling than those young men from noble families in the capital who were famous for their looks.
Wen Xingluo stared at him, and his breathing slowed down quietly.
This is the man she likes...
She has really good taste.
Xie Shian was still yelling, "Brother, don't you come over and talk to Ningning?!"
Xie Guanlan's lips were tightly drawn.
say?
What did he say?
He didn't even have the chance to be a hero and save the beauty, what else could he say?
He and Wen Ningning were unable to reconcile, and Xie Si was lying here jumping up and down!
If he had known that his fourth brother was so tactless, he would not have brought him to the capital.
Xie Guanlan walked away with a cold face.
Wen Xingluo was at a loss.
Why is this person so cold? He seems difficult to get along with. He is completely different from the gentle, honest and kind person she imagined.
Xie Yanchen smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Maybe it's because Big Brother lost something, so he was walking back and forth on that road, trying to find it. Now that he hasn't found it, he must be in a bad mood. Fourth brother, please stop talking about Big Brother."
The three siblings walked towards Chengqing Hall while talking.
At this time, on the other side.
Empress Mei was resting in the waterside pavilion, waiting for the banquet to begin in Chengqing Hall.
Pei Lin personally brought a bowl of dessert, "This is cherry yogurt sent by the imperial kitchen. Cherries are rare in this season. Please enjoy it, Your Majesty."
He lowered his brows and eyes, holding the small white porcelain cup in his hand very steadily.
He put a lot of red aragonite in the cherry yogurt.
As long as Empress Mei was poisoned to death, he would put the blame on Concubine Zhang.
At that time, in order to seek revenge, the Mei family will surely fight with Concubine Zhang until both sides suffer losses.
He couldn't help but curl his lips.
Empress Mei raised her hand to signal him to leave and casually opened the small white porcelain cup.
The cherries are bright red, the cheese is fragrant and soft, and a few tender leaves are dotted around them, which looks very beautiful.
She smiled and said, "This is what the little girl likes to eat."
The female official understood and agreed, "I'm sure the Wen sisters will love it. They come from a remote area and haven't seen anything good. They will definitely eat up all the imperial snacks like these."
Empress Mei lifted her intricate and delicate armor.
The red-crowned crane hidden in the armor was instantly scattered into the cherry yogurt.
She covered the small white porcelain cup and said, "Give it to Wen Xingluo as a reward."
Wen Xingluo was Wei Si's favorite youngest daughter. As long as she was poisoned to death on the spot, she could put the blame on Concubine Zhang.
When the time comes, Wei Si will avenge her daughter and will definitely fight with Concubine Zhang until both of them suffer losses.
She couldn't help but curl her lips.
When the female official brought the cherry yogurt to Wen Xingluo, she had already taken a seat in Chengqing Hall.
Wen Xingluo was slightly surprised, "Did the Empress give it to me?"
"Yes," the official said with a smile, "Cherries are a rare commodity at this time of year. Miss Wen must eat them all, so as not to disappoint Her Majesty's kindness."
After the female official left, Wen Xingluo opened the cherry yogurt and raised his eyebrows.
Her fingertips gently stroked the hairpin, and she quietly took off the red crested flower disguised as the pistil of a palace flower and put it into the cherry yogurt.
She covered the small white porcelain cup and looked at Concubine Zhang who was surrounded by palace maids.
As long as Concubine Zhang was poisoned to death, she would find ways to put the blame on Empress Mei. After all, the bowl of cherry yogurt was sent by Empress Mei.
By then, Concubine Zhang and Empress Mei will both be defeated, and my mother will benefit from it.
She couldn't help but curl her lips.
