The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Chapter 141 Why are there always troubles?

Mo Yuchen looked around and saw no one else except the maid who came to clean. He then said, "Yan Yan, have you thought of a solution? Do you want my help?"

"Everything is under control. All we need is a small favor from Your Highness the Prince Luo."

After the banquet, all the unmarried female guests were led to the flower hall and sat together to admire the flowers. Among them, a woman in a goose yellow dress kept staring at Xia Yanxiang and whispered to the woman next to her.

Xia Yanxiang saw it but ignored it. She could probably guess what they were talking about.

"Really?" "Is it? Otherwise, why would someone who doesn't like banquets come to the princess's full moon banquet today? It's obvious that he came here to show that he is still engaged to His Royal Highness Prince Luo, and to save face."

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let her hear it!"

"So what if he heard it? Would His Royal Highness Prince Luo really marry her? His Royal Highness only gave her some face for the sake of the Right Prime Minister and General Pu Wei, and that's why he didn't cancel the engagement immediately. Who would marry a hen that doesn't lay eggs?!"

The yellow-haired woman was full of disdain and even deliberately raised her voice: "In my opinion, she should ask to cancel the engagement herself, so as to avoid being accused of being unvirtuous and unjust."

"Hey, please keep your voice down. Her brother is General Pu Wei, and she has an uncle who is the Right Prime Minister. You'd better not bring trouble to your family." The woman in blue on the side pulled the sleeve of the woman in yellow fearfully, signaling her to keep her voice down.

"What are you talking about!" Just because Xia Yanxiang can tolerate it doesn't mean that Li Guan can tolerate it too!

"Who are you? I didn't say anything about you!" The pale yellow woman didn't know Li Guan and thought she was Xia Yanxiang's follower. "What? You can't stand a few words? Your young lady is really precious!"

Li Guan was so angry that she stood up and said, "Who am I? I will tell you today, my surname is Li, and I am the only legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion!"

"You? How could you be the sister of Li Shiguan, who is so rude and disrespectful?" The yellow-browed woman didn't believe it. Li Shiguan was humble and polite, how could he have such a vulgar sister?

Li Lang is eleven years older than Li Guan. In addition, Li Guan has been away from the capital for many years, so many young ladies in the capital do not know her.

However, Li Lang took the imperial examination, that is, he was the same age as Shen Zhe and the top scorer of that year. The emperor personally appointed him as an envoy to be in charge of diplomatic affairs. He is currently negotiating the establishment of diplomatic relations with Tubo in the south and is preparing to return to Beijing soon.

"You are the rude and impolite one! You are such a dog that looks down on others. Look at yourself in the mirror before you talk about others!" If the clothes hadn't been in the way, Li Guan would have rushed up to give her a beating.

"You!" Liu Ying had never been treated like this before. She stood up and pointed at Li Guan and said arrogantly, "Believe it or not, I can ask my father to wipe out your family tomorrow morning!"

The light yellow lady was the fourth daughter of the Minister of Rites.

Xia Yanxiang then stood up calmly, slowly raised her eyes to look at Liu Ying, and stretched out two fingers of her left hand to push Liu Ying's hand away: "If your father can take down the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, then this county lady will have to admire him. Which lord dares to touch the emperor's people?"

Xia Yanxiang has always been calm, but at this moment she had no expression on her face, and it seemed more like she was the one who was bullying others.

Liu Ying was a little stunned. Could this vulgar woman really be the daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion? Wouldn't she be in big trouble?

"You, you, how is it possible?! How could such a gentle and refined person like Li Shiguan have a sister as vulgar as you?"

"She's rude? She's a warrior. You provoked her before, and she was polite to you by not beating you down on the spot." Xia Yanxiang looked down at Liu Ying, and her words were not polite at all.

"You! Xia Yanxiang! Who do you think you are to speak to me like that?" Liu Ying was so angry that he completely forgot about Xia Yanxiang's identity and started cursing.

Li Guan was furious and wanted to beat her up, but Xia Yanxiang stopped him: "Who am I? It seems that Miss Liu is short-sighted! If she can call out my name, she should know my identity."

"You! You are just relying on the power of your uncle and your brother. You have no ability at all and you can't even have a child. Why are you so arrogant?" Liu Ying shouted loudly without restraint.

Everyone suddenly fell silent and no one dared to speak. Even Liu Ying realized what she had said and dared not speak again.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Guanxin yelled at Liu Ying in panic, fearing that Xia Yanxiang would do something about this.

"That's right," since she had said it out loud, Liu Ying simply threw the jar into the air, "It's all over the capital, and she still thinks His Royal Highness Prince Luo will still want her! What a wild idea!"

"Shut up!" Li Guan hurriedly scolded Liu Ying, pulled Xia Yanxiang over, and wanted to leave, "Ayan, ignore her, let's go..."

Xia Yanxiang stood still, staring at Liu Ying straight in the face. Instead of getting angry, she smiled and said, "Fantastical? You're talking about your elder sister, Aunt Liu, right?"

"Princess, the fourth daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue and the third daughter of the Minister of Rites had a conflict and they even came to blows." A servant hurried over to report the matter to Mo Yuanli's ear.

Mo Yuanli frowned and glanced at her second brother. Mo Yuchen was also looking at her. Mo Yuanli had a rough idea in her mind and said to Mo Cheng, "Father, the servants came to report that the fourth daughter of the Minister of Revenue and the third daughter of the Minister of Rites had a little conflict in my son's house."

The emperor played with his Buddhist beads. Why did Xia Yanxiang always cause trouble? "Bring them both up here."

There was a red and swollen area on Xia Yanxiang's left cheek, and two strands of her hair were pulled apart, slightly covering her left face.

However, Xia Yanxiang didn't react at all and still had a blank expression on her face.

The one who came with her was Li Guan. She was fine, but she looked angry and glared at Liu Ying angrily.

Liu Ying was completely different from them. Most of her hair was loose, her cheeks were swollen, her eyes were swollen from crying, and most of her makeup was spent.

The woman in blue helped Liu Ying in. When she saw Mo Cheng, Liu Ying burst into tears, broke free from the woman in blue and knelt on the ground, which scared the woman in blue.

When Mo Yuchen saw that Xia Yanxiang was injured, he frowned and walked towards Xia Yanxiang.

Walking in front of Xia Yanxiang, Mo Yuchen raised his hand to touch her but didn't dare. The next second, Xia Yanxiang was pulled away from Mo Yuchen by Li Guan: "Don't touch her!"

It was also Li Guan’s fault that he did not expect Liu Ying to be so arrogant and bold. When she heard A Yan mention her third sister, she rushed up and beat A Yan.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Xia Yanxiang whispered to him, "Don't make any noise, she won't listen, she won't make any trouble."

Mo Yuchen pursed his lips and said nothing. He closed his eyes to suppress his emotions, then turned around and stood beside Xia Yanxiang.

"Are you the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?" Mo Cheng frowned and started crying as soon as he entered the door, although it seemed that he had been beaten quite badly.

Liu Ying managed to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, I am Liu Ying from the family of the Minister of Revenue. I just said something wrong by mistake today and was beaten up by the young lady in the body of the Third Young Lady."

The emperor looked at Xia Yanxiang and Li Guan with unfriendly eyes.

Li Guan was still angry, but he still bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask what Miss Liu said and what she did that made me hit her."

"Liu, tell me, what does Miss Li refer to?"

Liu Ying was shocked. This rude woman turned out to be Miss Li!

This time she was in real trouble, and she couldn't say anything: "I, I..."

"Your Majesty, many young ladies were present and heard what she said with their own ears. They also saw with their own eyes that she came up and slapped Miss Xia San. That's why I took action in the princess's mansion." Li Guan knelt straight down, "I am guilty and ruined Xihe's feast. Please punish me. This was done by me alone. Please punish me alone."
