Chapter 141 Magnolia
Chapter 141 Magnolia
Although Queen Wang was praising Yan Qing with a smile, the noble ladies and officials present all had strange expressions on their faces.
Yan Qing has indeed become famous in Kyoto recently.
But that reputation was not a good one, and the Queen Mother did not call Yan Qing "Princess", but called her Second Miss Yan... It seemed that the Queen Mother did not like this Princess.
Those who were originally a little afraid of Yan Qing immediately covered their mouths and laughed, "Yes, if Her Majesty hadn't told us, we would have almost forgotten that Princess Qinghe was a well-known figure in our capital a few days ago..."
"Who says it's not true? Poor Prince Lu..."
"This lady!"
Yan Qing suddenly interrupted the man and smiled gently at him: "If you pity Master Lu, you might as well marry your daughter to him. It would be a great deed..."
No one expected that Yan Qing would dare to refute.
In front of the Queen.
"you……"
The lady's face flushed instantly, and she subconsciously looked at Queen Wang, but Queen Wang was looking down at the floating leaves in the cup, as if she hadn't heard their conversation. The lady immediately understood what was going on, and immediately looked down at Xiang Yanqing with contempt: "I just told the truth, and the princess got so angry that she's embarrassed. Aren't you afraid that the general's mansion will be laughed at?"
"What this princess said is also true."
Yan Qing looked at him innocently, blinking her eyes. "Lu Qiaonan and I were childhood sweethearts, but he cheated on my half-sister on our wedding night. I divorced him, and Madam actually felt sorry for him. It seems that Madam must like this kind of unfaithful man. So what's wrong with this princess suggesting that you marry your daughter to him?
Oh~ Could it be that Madam wants to get married herself?"
The last sentence instantly caused everyone to burst into laughter.
The lady turned pale with anger.
"Madam Xingbu only said a few words. Princess, there's no need to embarrass her like this, right?"
A familiar and sharp voice suddenly came from behind. Yan Qing turned around and saw Wang Mingjue walking towards him led by a palace servant.
Yan Qing's smile suddenly became softer.
She glanced at Wang Mingjue and suddenly realized: "Oh, I forgot that Master Lu and the County Lady were at the Fusheng Restaurant... Well, Master Lu was going to marry the County Lady, so how could he marry the wife of the Minister of Justice..."
"Yan! Qing!"
Wang Mingjue was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
The wife of the Minister of Justice was so embarrassed that her face turned as red as a monkey's butt.
This Yan Qing is too shameless, how can he say such dirty words!
"My lady..."
Wang Mingjue's expression changed in an instant. She ran to Queen Wang with a look of grievance and said, "Look at Qingqing, how does she bully me? You must stand up for me..."
"You!"
Queen Wang nodded helplessly at Wang Mingjue's forehead, then said to Yan Qing with a stern face: "Second Yan, Mingjue has been spoiled by me, please don't bully her..."
"My daughter dare not."
Yan Qing lowered his head and looked at the ground, his expression still neither humble nor arrogant.
Queen Wang's eyes darkened.
Wang Mingjue noticed the expressions of the two men and immediately said to Yan Qing with a pout, "Then kneel down and apologize to me!"
"County Lord..."
Yang Ying couldn't help but speak, but when the queen looked at her, she didn't dare to say anything more.
She looked at Yan Qing worriedly.
Yan Qing looked up at Wang Mingjue at this time, his dark eyes without a trace of anger or anger.
She just looked at her quietly.
She said, "Does the county lady really want me to kneel down and apologize to you?"
When Wang Mingjue met those dark eyes, his heart skipped a beat for no reason.
What's going on with Yan Qing?
Why do I feel like she has become a different person when I come back to see her this time?
Yan Qing looked at Wang Mingjue and sneered.
Let the princess kneel down and apologize to the county lady?
It’s amazing that Wang Mingjue could come up with this idea!
But since she dared to speak up, don't blame her, General!
Wang Mingjue hesitated to speak, so Yan Qing turned to face Queen Wang and knelt slightly, saying, "May I ask, Your Majesty, should I kneel down and apologize to the County Master?"
Queen Wang looked deeply at Yan Qing: "The princess is really different from what I imagined..."
She finally agreed to call Yan Qing "Princess".
After a pause, Queen Wang said indifferently, "Jue'er is a simple-minded child. She was just joking with the princess. Why did the princess take it so seriously?"
"Yeah, it's just a joke."
Wang Mingjue reacted and said with a gloomy expression, "Who told you to ignore me these days, Qingqing? Humph!"
"So he's in a bad mood."
Queen Wang looked at Wang Mingjue and Yan Qing as if they were children. "Mingjue has had few friends since she was a child, and only the princess is willing to associate with her. I guess the princess has been busy lately and has neglected her, so she must be feeling aggrieved. How about this? There are several fine white magnolias in the garden of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. The princess should accompany Jue'er to take a look..."
Wang Mingjue said reluctantly, "If it is the Majesty's order, Mingjue will obey."
"Yes, yes, it's all my intention."
Queen Wang patted her hands and said comfortingly, "Go."
Wang Mingjue then walked over to Yan Qing and snorted, "Don't think I've forgiven you. If it weren't for the Empress, I wouldn't have accompanied you to see the white magnolia..."
Her charming look made all the ladies and young ladies cover their mouths and laugh.
"The county lady is still as lovely as before..."
"Yes, it would be great if my Yan'er could be as lively as the county lady..."
"The Princess is filial, the Lady Mingjue is lively, and the Empress is truly the most blessed woman in the Yong Dynasty..."
Everyone praised Wang Mingjue for being cute and adorable, and didn't think her behavior was excessive at all.
Yan Qing's eyes darkened.
She glanced at Wang Mingjue, then glanced at Queen Wang who was chatting with the ladies again in the pavilion, bowed to everyone, and turned to follow Wang Mingjue to see the white magnolia.
The two of them stood one in front and one behind, silent.
When they reached the garden, Wang Mingjue in front suddenly stopped.
Yan Qing also stopped.
Wang Mingjue said to the palace attendants beside him, "You guys go down first. The princess and I will go in alone."
Yan Qing looked at her coldly.
Qingluan and Luzhi had just been sent away by the steward of the Fourth Prince's Mansion to help, so she was alone now.
Yan Qing looked around. This was a remote corridor and no one came here.
Perfect for making something.
"Qingqing."
Just as Yan Qing was looking around, Wang Mingjue in front of her suddenly turned around and looked at her.
Yan Qing raised his eyes.
The mask on Wang Mingjue's face had been removed for everyone to see, replaced by her real face.
The girl has a pretty face, but her eyes are gloomy.
The corners of her mouth, which always turned up slightly in front of outsiders, now drooped. She said to Yan Qing with dissatisfaction, "What on earth has happened in the past few days? Why do you treat me like this?"
Yan Qing raised his eyebrows: "I don't understand what the county lady is talking about?"
Wang Mingjue pursed his lips and looked very angry.
In the past, Yan Qing would have coaxed her at this time, but at this moment, Yan Qing didn't want to waste time talking to her at all.
She walked towards the garden: "Seeing the white magnolias? Then let's go in..."
Go in and see what surprise Wang Mingjue has prepared for her.
