Chapter 172: Quick Talk
Ling Feng walked over with a gloomy face, and saw Shen Jingxuan nodding slightly at her, then turned to look at Xie Zihan with disgust.
"Your Highness, the prince is waiting for you out front." After saying that, Ling Feng turned and left.
Xie Zihan frowned and looked at the direction Ling Feng left with displeasure, but had to follow him.
Although he was dissatisfied and had many complaints in his heart, he did not dare to go against Xie Lingxiao's words.
As Xie Zihan left, the people in front of the palace gate entered one by one.
Shen Jingxuan looked at the people in front of her and frowned slightly, because what she hated most was being in crowded places.
There are a lot of gossips where there are a lot of people, but she doesn't want to get involved in them.
It was still early before noon, so the group was taken to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the scenery.
Jiang Shaoying and Chen Yi came to Shen Jingxuan's side together.
"Axuan, we have been waiting for you at the palace gate for a long time but we haven't seen you. Now we finally find you." Jiang Shaoying complained.
She waited in front of the palace gate for a long time. Seeing more and more people coming, she still couldn't see Shen Jingxuan.
Until Chen Yi arrived, the two discussed and decided to enter the palace first and then look for Shen Jingxuan.
Shen Jingxuan raised her eyebrows and said, "If I knew you were waiting for me, I would have come earlier. I just didn't expect that there would be so many people today, and it would take a lot of time to line up to enter the palace."
Thinking of meeting Xie Zihan in front of the palace gate, Shen Jingxuan's good mood disappeared completely.
"Don't you know why?" Jiang Shaoying asked mysteriously.
Chen Yi was puzzled: "The post only said that I was attending the palace banquet, but didn't say why."
In the past, I would know what kind of palace banquet it was before entering the palace. For some reason, this time it was not written on the invitation, but I had to attend.
"Yeah, is there any hidden secret?" Shen Jingxuan said.
She didn't attend palace banquets very often, but every time she did, she would tell the reason why the palace banquet was held.
This time was different, which made Shen Jingxuan feel confused.
Jiang Shaoying looked at the two of them and slowly approached them: "I heard that they are selecting a concubine for the prince, and the queen has made up her mind that she must be selected from these people."
"Really?" Chen Yi suddenly became nervous.
Seeing Chen Yi's expression, Jiang Shaoying joked, "Yier, why are you so nervous? Do you want to be the Crown Princess?"
Chen Yi's face turned red when she said that: "It's because I don't want to that I'm afraid."
She was afraid that the Emperor and the Queen would suddenly grant her marriage, regardless of whether she was willing or not.
"Well, now that you mention it, I'm a little nervous too." Jiang Shaoying patted his chest lightly.
Shen Jingxuan raised the corners of her lips: "Yier is afraid, that's fine, you don't have to worry."
The two looked at Shen Jingxuan in confusion, always feeling that there was something else behind her words, but it didn't seem to be a good thing.
Looking at her fox-like smile, Chen Yi lowered his head tactfully and didn't look at Shen Jingxuan.
Jiang Shaoying urged, "Why shouldn't I worry? Ah Xuan, tell me quickly."
Of course it would be nice not to worry, but she wanted to know the reason so that she could feel at ease.
"Xie Zihan likes those who are gentle and considerate, and those who are dependent on others. I wonder which one Ying'er has?" Shen Jingxuan said with a smile.
"Pfft..." Even a lady from a wealthy family like Chen Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Following Shen Jingxuan's teasing, the two people who were originally nervous gradually relaxed.
Lu Jinxuan and Xie Shiyin watched everything from afar, gritting their teeth in anger.
"She can still laugh? Cousin, let's go over there." After Xie Shiyin finished speaking, she walked towards Shen Jingxuan and the others without caring whether Lu Jinxuan followed her or not.
For some reason, looking at Shen Jingxuan's smile at this moment, as if she was showing off to her, made her unbearable.
Lu Jinxuan hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed Xie Shiyin's footsteps.
"Cousin, don't be impulsive, just make her happy first." Lu Jinxuan advised.
Xie Shiyin said angrily: "Impossible, I don't want to see her smile for even a moment."
Let her laugh at me? That's impossible.
Even if the emperor granted them a marriage, what would it matter? As long as they didn't get married, they might never be together.
As they were talking, the two of them came in front of Shen Jingxuan.
"Shen Jingxuan, don't be so proud too soon." Xie Shiyin glared at Shen Jingxuan.
Jiang Shaoying was an impulsive person, and he didn't care why Xie Shiyin said that, and immediately stood in front of Shen Jingxuan.
She pointed at Xie Shiyin and said, "Are you sick? Did you forget to take your medicine when you went out today?"
They hadn't seen each other for a long time and were having a great time chatting, but the good atmosphere was ruined by Xie Shiyin.
Xie Shiyin couldn't stand this: "Jiang Shaoying, you are sick, get out of here, I'm not talking to you."
"Okay, then you show me first. I don't know how to do it yet." Jiang Shaoying said.
It is impossible to get her to leave unless Xie Shiyin really wants to teach her. Then it depends on whether she can learn it.
"You..." Xie Shiyin was speechless.
She taught? It was a humiliation to ask her to get out in front of so many people.
Jiang Shaoying crossed her arms and said, "Me? What's wrong with me? If I want to teach you, then get out of here first. If I don't want to teach you, then you can get out now."
Shen Jingxuan looked at Jiang Shaoying in front of her, and the corners of her lips gradually curled up.
When it comes to music, chess, calligraphy, painting, etiquette and needlework, Jiang Shaoying would admit defeat, but when it comes to quick eloquence, the two Xie Shiyins may not be her match.
Xie Shiyin couldn't argue with Jiang Shaoying, so she looked past her and looked at Shen Jingxuan: "Shen Jingxuan, is all you can do to hide behind others?"
"Why do you care where Axuan stands? Isn't that too much?" Jiang Shaoying still refused to give in.
Looking at Xie Shiyin in front of her, Jiang Shaoying's face was full of disgust. She couldn't understand why she didn't take the opportunity to enjoy the scenery but came here to get scolded.
"I'm willing, what do you care?" Xie Shiyin said angrily.
Minding other people's business. She came here to cause trouble for Shen Jingxuan, not for her, so why should she get involved?
Shen Jingxuan stepped forward: "Has the Fifth Princess ever asked me if she needs your help?"
"You are a princess, but you don't even know the most basic etiquette?"
Screaming and yelling as soon as they met was something that not only girls in the boudoir wouldn't do, but even women and children on the street wouldn't be so rude.
"What is it to you?" Xie Shiyin's arrogance disappeared in an instant.
Many people came to the palace today, and after Shen Jingxuan's words, she realized that this was indeed an excessive practice.
"I don't care, and I don't want to be a nanny." Shen Jingxuan said.
"Puchi..." Jiang Shaoying laughed out loud.
"Ah Xuan, let me be honest, there is no such thing as a foster nanny as young as you."
Chen Yi lowered her head, trying hard to keep her smile from being noticed.
Seeing Xie Shiyin was defeated, Lu Jinxuan stepped forward and persuaded her, "Princess, stop arguing. Let's go for a walk over there."
Although Xie Shiyin knew that what happened just now was detrimental to her status, she still refused to leave: "I won't leave, I insist on staying here."
Why should she go? Even if she couldn't win the argument with them, she didn't want to leave first.
Seeing her look like she was trying to disgust someone even if she couldn't beat her, Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but shake her head secretly.
It was really her fault for not having seen the world. In the past, she only knew that Xie Zihan was shameless, but now it seems that this shameless ability is actually hereditary.
The queen was so shameless that she would rather destroy her own innocence and become a concubine in order to be with the man she loved.
Now, look what has happened. Xie Zihan and Shen Jinghuan teamed up to murder her in order to marry her. After the engagement was broken off, they continued to harass each other.
Later, there was Xie Shiyin, who made things difficult for herself many times for the sake of her favorite uncle, just because she was too close to Xie Lingxiao.
So it seems that both the brother and sister have inherited the queen's genes?
Shen Jingxuan didn't want to continue to entangle with Xie Shiyin, so she pulled Jiang Shaoying and Chen Yi and turned to leave.
Xie Shiyin refused to let them go: "Shen Jingxuan, if you leave, I will show you how I will deal with you."
Want to leave? If Shen Jingxuan really dares to leave, she has plenty of ways to make her pay the price.
"How do you want to deal with her?" Xie Lingxiao's cold voice came from behind Xie Shiyin.
Xie Shiyin was shocked and stood there for a moment, her body shaking slightly.
