Chapter 19: Trouble
Could it be that this Seventh Princess also likes Nie Chubai?
"Hmm? Miss Wen Liu, I'm asking you a question?" The Seventh Princess asked in a cold tone.
Wen Yingxue smiled at the Seventh Princess and said, "Yingxue doesn't know that. There are so many beautiful women in the world, and there are quite a few in the capital. It's a pity that General Nie didn't take a fancy to any of them. He only took a fancy to me. I don't think it's because of my appearance."
As soon as Wen Yingxue finished speaking, a trace of anger and shame flashed across the Seventh Princess's face.
"You are so eloquent. No wonder General Nie likes you. I like you a little too." The Seventh Princess' fingers slowly stroked Wen Yingxue's face. Her sharp nails scratched her face, and Wen Yingxue could feel a slight stinging on her face.
Zi Su was right behind Wen Yingxue. Seeing this scene, she frowned and was about to step forward, but the Seventh Princess let go of Wen Yingxue.
Wen Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had made the right bet.
Her marriage to Nie Chubai was ordered by the emperor. Even if the Seventh Princess disliked her, she would not take action in front of so many people.
"Today is a flower-viewing banquet, and all the famous ladies are invited. Everyone has to perform their talents. I wonder what surprises Miss Wen Liu can bring to me." Princess Liuqi said, then turned around and sat down in the main seat.
Wen Yingxue smiled sheepishly and said, "Princess, I'm not good at either literature or martial arts. The only thing I can show off is embroidery. I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."
Everyone looked at Wen Yingxue in shock. It was the first time they had seen someone so frank.
Since you just don't like her and want to make things difficult for her, it would be better to just say that you don't know how to do anything.
The Seventh Princess was also speechless for a moment. She looked at Wen Yingxue and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Oh, Miss Wen Liu is so honest, it's a pity that she has such a beautiful face." The implication is that apart from your beauty, you have accomplished nothing.
Afterwards, the Seventh Princess started chatting with the talented ladies and no longer paid attention to Wen Yingxue.
Even Wen Rouqing and Wen Yuyan were influenced by Wen Yingxue, and no one paid any attention to them.
Wen Yuyan was fine, she knew the principle of keeping a low profile.
Only the idiot Wen Rouqing, who couldn't stand Wen Yingxue, went to tell others bad things about her. She didn't even notice that the people looking at her were full of contempt.
Soon it was time to perform talents. Wen Yingxue saw what a talented woman in ancient times was like. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, which dazzled Wen Yingxue.
Wen Yingxue was watching with great interest when suddenly a cup of tea was spilled on her, wetting her clothes.
The movement was quite significant, and everyone's attention was once again cast on Wen Yingxue.
The Seventh Princess raised a cold smile and said, "Please forgive me, Miss Wen Liu. I am just a newly trained servant. Come, take her away to receive her punishment."
Soon, two young eunuchs came out and took the little girl out.
Wen Yingxue frowned, stood up and said, "Princess, Yingxue didn't bring any clothes with her. It would be indecent for her to stay any longer. Yingxue will take her leave now."
The Seventh Princess said, "The banquet has just begun, why is Miss Wen Liu already thinking of going back? It's just a dress, isn't it? I'll have someone bring one over, and Miss Wen Liu can change into it."
"Princess, this is inappropriate..."
The Seventh Princess interrupted Wen Yingxue and said, "What's the matter? My words don't work? Someone, take Miss Wen Six to the bedroom to change clothes."
The Seventh Princess insisted on keeping her, which must have bad intentions. Who knows what is waiting for her down there.
But she couldn't leave just like that. Wen Yingxue sighed, turned around and followed the eunuch to the room to change clothes. When she turned around, her eyes met Zisu's, and Zisu nodded slightly.
While no one was paying attention, Zi Su climbed over the wall and left.
The Seventh Princess had someone find the clothes of the palace maids. Wen Yingxue looked at the clothes and breathed a sigh of relief.
If he just wanted to use the maid's clothes to humiliate her, the worst that could happen would be a laugh, but I'm afraid there might be more to come.
Wen Yingxue put on the dress cautiously and immediately frowned. The dress should have been picked according to her size, but it was a little tight around her chest.
After putting on her clothes, Wen Yingxue followed the eunuch back to the banquet. As soon as she appeared, the Seventh Princess was so angry that she fell backwards.
The maid's clothes looked a bit plain on Wen Yingxue, but they made her big breasts and slim waist stand out even more.
She doesn't look like a maid at all, but a beauty.
The Seventh Princess gritted her teeth and looked at Wen Yingxue with eyes full of murderous intent.
The Seventh Princess fell in love with Nie Chubai when she first met him, but Nie Chubai was always indifferent to her. The Seventh Princess hinted at it for a long time, but Nie Chubai always treated her with courtesy.
The seventh princess immediately asked her mother to tell the emperor that she wanted to recruit Nie Chubai as her son-in-law. However, at this moment, Nie Chubai personally proposed to the emperor.
Facing everyone's mocking and jealous gazes, Wen Yingxue sat in her seat.
She was a beauty, and she was used to being stared at. Let them stare if they wanted, it wouldn't hurt her anyway. Wen Yingxue thought so.
The banquet continued and Wen Yingxue continued to watch.
"Princess, something bad has happened. Your jade locket is missing. It was given to you by the Queen Mother herself when you turned one year old."
Suddenly a young eunuch ran over in a hurry, shouting.
Wen Yingxue curled her lips.
"What?" The Seventh Princess stood up and looked at Wen Yingxue, not even pretending.
The other people also looked at Wen Yingxue, their eyes full of gloating.
Wen Yingxue, however, sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, looking directly at the Seventh Princess.
"Miss Wen Liu, you are the only one who has been to my bedroom. I don't know if you took the jade lock?" asked the Seventh Princess.
Wen Yingxue stood up and said, "Princess, it wasn't me."
"Why isn't it you? You're the only one who has been to the princess's bedroom."
"That's right, a concubine's daughter is a concubine's daughter, something that cannot be shown on the stage."
"You even dare to take the princess's things. You are really courting death."
The ladies below didn't even listen to Wen Yingxue's answer and had already put their hats on her head.
The Seventh Princess glanced at Wen Yingxue provocatively and said, "Since Miss Wen Six said you didn't take it, then to prove your innocence, come, search me."
As he spoke, four eunuchs approached Wen Yingxue.
"It's so lively here, Imperial Sister." A voice came, and everyone turned around and saw two handsome young men walking towards them.
The man in the green python robe was none other than the Eighth Prince Qi Xun. Next to him was none other than the villain, Nie Chubai.
And Zi Su had quietly returned at some point and was standing next to Ai Ye.
"Meet the Eighth Prince."
"Meet General Nie."
Everyone stood up and saluted.
Nie Chubai ignored other people's gazes and walked straight to Wen Yingxue. He frowned at her clothes, then took off his cloak and covered Wen Yingxue with it.
