Chapter 118 The model in the boudoir, the study test (3)
Mu Qingyi had no choice but to nod and said seriously: "At that time, I was playing in the rockery with the ninth prince and Princess Yongjia, and I only passed by when I heard the quarrel. However... because we were in front of the rockery, we did not see Miss Li being attacked. It was only when we heard the little girl calling for help." Mu Qingyi's words were reasonable and everyone nodded.
Princess Zhi hated Murong Yu and Zhu Mingyan, so naturally they wanted to be embarrassed. She immediately looked at Brother Shu Bing with a smile and asked, "So, what did Princess Yongjia hear them say?"
Brother Shu Bing has a good memory and has a word-of-throw quarrel between Zhu Mingyan and Li Zhiyi, as well as Zhu Mingyan and the man discussing framed Li Zhiyi. Compared with what the little girl said before, Zhu Mingyan's charges cannot be washed away. Li Zhiyi's originally pale face turned pale at this time, and pointed at Zhu Mingyan tremblingly and said, "What is Zhiyi's place that offended the concubine? The concubine actually wants to use such means to destroy my life? No... The concubine wants Li Zhiyi's life? If such a thing really happens, what face does Li Zhiyi have to live in the world? It's better to hit and die on the pillar. The concubine is like this... If the concubine really hates Your Majesty's marriage so much... Please let Your Highness Gong tell Your Majesty that Zhiyi is willing to terminate the engagement with Your Majesty, and from then on, the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha will never marry forever!"
Li Zhiyi was so strong that everyone was shocked, and his expression was even worse when he looked at Zhu Mingyan. Princess Zhi hurriedly pulled Li Zhiyi and smiled, "What are you saying about Miss Li's marriage? Your father and his sixth brother were personally instructed to marry. How can you say it will be terminated?" Li Zhiyi covered his face and said in pain: "Zhiyi knew that the Li family's family was not as noble as the Prince's Mansion in Pingnan County, but the Li family was also a clean and innocent scholarly family for generations. It would be fine if Li Zhiyi died of a bad life. If he died, he still had such stigma on his back. How can he be worthy of the hard work of the Li family and his parents and elders to raise me?"
Seeing Li Zhiyi crying loudly, Princess Zhi and Princess Fu also empathized with each other and hurriedly comforted Li Zhiyi.
At this time, Murong Xie was not so anxious, and looked at Murong Yu leisurely and said, "Sixth brother, what do you think about this matter?" Murong Xie is different from Princess Zhi. Princess Zhi will be angry and shameful with today's banquet, making Princess Zhi's full moon banquet less perfect. But Murong Xie is not good. The biggest significance of this full moon banquet is just to show the father's favor and importance to Princess Zhi's house. No matter what happened at the banquet, this purpose has been achieved. Now, this small accident is not the mistake in Princess Zhi's house. Even if the father knows, he will only comfort him. He can still see Murong Yu's jokes, why not do it?
Murong Yu said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Fourth Brother. Zhu's minister, took it back first. Li... Miss Li, I will definitely give the Li family a satisfactory explanation." Li Zhiyi bit the corner of his lip and looked at Murong Yu with some grievance, but did not make any embarrassment. He said lightly: "Your Majesty, please, Zhiyi believes that the prince will give the Li family an explanation."
In fact, everyone present knew that it was not an exaggeration to punish Zhu Mingyan for committing such a thing. Murong Yu wanted to take the person back, but to put it bluntly, he still wanted to protect Zhu Mingyan. Or rather, Murong Yu was still reluctant to leave the Zhu family. However, King Gong, who has always been very smart, was obviously not good at dealing with the balance between the two families. The Zhu family and the Li family were afraid that it would not be so easy to settle.
Zhu Mingyan was taken away by Murong Yu in a daze, and Li Zhiyi also left quickly on the grounds of being unwell. Because of this incident, the atmosphere of the whole moon banquet became a bit strange. Fortunately, the most important celebration ceremony of the full moon banquet was completed as early as noon. The young prince grabbed a book and a sword and made Murong Xie and his wife very proud. The banquet at night was a little unbeautiful, so it could be ignored.
After the evening dinner, the guests said goodbye, but Mu Qingyi was kept secretly by Murong Xie. Mu Qingyi had known that Murong Xie would not only invite her to come for the full moon banquet for the young prince, and she didn't care. He came alone, and there were not many people in the capital. Except for Rong Jin, no one noticed that she had never left the Prince's Mansion.
In the study room of the royal palace
"I have met the prince, princess." Mu Qingyi walked in and looked at the people in the study room, leaning over and saluting.
Murong Xie nodded and said, "Young Master Zhang, don't have to be too polite, please sit down." Mu Qingyi was not polite, and sat down at the second position of Murong Xie's left hand, as if she didn't care about the eyes of everyone.
In the study, in addition to Prince Zhi and Princess Zhi, there were also staff members of Zheng, the surname Zheng. At this time, the ones staring at Mu Qingyi were Mr. Zheng and Princess Zhi. Princess Zhi was simply curious and didn't quite understand why his prince valued this teenage boy so much. But Mr. Zheng was different. His eyes looked at Mu Qingyi as if a needle was shining, with a sharp spy.
Mu Qingyi smiled faintly, curled her lips and said, "Mr. Suqing, is there anything wrong with me?"
Hearing this, Murong Xie and Mr. Zheng's face changed. Murong Xie narrowed his eyes and stared at Mu Qingyi and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" Mu Qingyi looked calm and smiled lightly: "Zhang Family, Zhang Qing in Yingzhou."
Murong Xie sneered and said, "Zhang, Yingzhou? You are only thirteen or fourteen years old. How could you know Mr. Zheng when you lived in Yingzhou since you were young?" As if you didn't notice Murong Xie's murderous aura at all, Mu Qingyi looked at Mr. Zheng with a smile and said, "Zheng Wei, whose courtesy name is Suqing. He ranked first in the imperial examination in Jing'an in ten years. However, he was kidnapped because he offended the Prince of Pingnan, Zhu Chang, and was not allowed to take the palace examination. After escaping from death, he went to the capital to sue Zhu Chang, but came to argue and accidentally killed Zhu Chang's concubine daughter. Uh... In fact, it was just a girl from the Prince of Pingnan. She was betrayed and sent to the frontier."
Murong Xie and Zheng Wei's faces looked a little ugly. Such a detailed life made them afraid of the source of the news of the boy in front of him. Looking at their vigilant appearance, Mu Qingyi smiled and said, "Your Majesty and Mr. Zheng don't have to be nervous. Since I am going to serve the prince, I naturally have to check some trivial matters in the prince's mansion. If... there is anything wrong with the prince, I will be implicated. I am very jealous of my life."
Murong Xie understood that the young man was warning him that if he acted rashly, he would have a backup plan. Mu Qingyi looked at him with a look of sincerity on his face and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to say what I want to do for you until I die. There is only one... I told you before. As long as I complete this, I will leave the capital immediately and never return. I will never make things difficult for you."
