"Is she from Yongcheng Houfu?" Yuan Yi's eyes darkened, and he smiled and said, "Xuan her up."
"Yes." The young eunuch took the order, turned around and shouted, "Xie Wanzhou, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yongcheng, come forward and wait for your orders."
Xie Wanzhou sighed softly and stood up resigned to his fate.
You can't escape by hiding, so it's better to face the difficulties head-on.
"My maid, Xie Wanzhou, has met His Highness the Crown Prince." Xie Wanzhou saluted politely, which stopped Yuan Yi's intention of finding fault with her.
Yuan Yi pursed his thin lips and said indifferently, "Raise your head."
Xie Wanzhou raised his head in response, his appearance completely exposed to Yuan Yi's eyes.
When Xie Wanzhou entered the palace for the first time, Zhu Tao naturally put a lot of effort into dressing her up in a gentle and charming manner.
The little maid doesn't understand the twists and turns inside, she only cares about her own lady being more beautiful and prettier.
Xie Wanzhou is very smart in appearance, and when she stares at people with her deer eyes, no matter how hard-hearted a person is, they would not want to be cold-faced towards her.
When Yuan Yi saw her, his eyes lit up, and then became cold again, "Your name is Xie Wanzhou?"
Xie Wanzhou's eyes were clear. He nodded and said in a clear voice, "Yes."
Yuan Yi curled his lips and played with the wine cup in his hand, "I see you have the eye, so you don't need to take the art exam, just accept the reward."
After saying this, Yuan Yi didn't even give Xie Wanzhou a chance to react, and waved towards the little eunuch beside him.
The young eunuch understood and hurriedly came forward to congratulate, "Congratulations, Miss Xie, for coming out on top. The prince will reward you and make you the crown prince!"
Xie Wanzhou didn't have much expression on his face and looked at Yuan Yi quietly.
The little eunuch looked worried and couldn't help but urged, "Miss Xie is so happy? Why don't you thank me quickly?"
"Is this a talent show for the crown princess or a game played by young children?" Song Huixin frowned and cursed secretly, "It's so perfunctory, you deserve to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Huixin was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Ye Daoyun on the side.
Ye Daoyun looked at her and said in a firm tone, "What are you going to do?"
Song Huixin took out her hand and said impatiently, "If I don't save her, I'm afraid my sister-in-law will fall into the tiger's mouth!"
"Why are you anxious?" Ye Daoyun asked calmly, and said softly, "Don't you look at your mother and you are not anxious?"
Hearing this, Song Huixin was stunned and subconsciously looked towards where Fang Xu was, just in time to see her future mother-in-law stuffing sweet and sour pork into her mouth.
Song Huixin:...
This is really the emperor who is not in a hurry to kill the eunuch!
"Xiao Xu..." Fang Lan also noticed her and tugged on her sleeve under the table, "How come you don't care at all?"
Fang Xu chewed the meat until all the food in his mouth was swallowed, and then said quietly, "Then people's hearts are dark, what's the use of worrying?"
Fang Lan was speechless for a moment, then complained after a moment, "Then you don't have to keep eating!"
Fang Xu picked up another piece of meat, but before he put it in his mouth, he said, "This sweet and sour pork is really good, hurry up and try it!"
"Really...really?" Fang Lan blinked, half convinced.
Fang Xu didn't have time to reply to her, so he took another piece.
Fang Lan wasn't hungry at first, but seeing her sister eating so deliciously, she couldn't help but grab a piece of meat too.
Afterwards, there were two people immersed in eating.
In the center of the hall, Xie Wanzhou straightened his body and slowly knelt down, "Thank you, my lord...cough cough cough!"
Before Xie Wanzhou finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened. He pinched his neck and coughed violently. Looking at it, he was afraid that he would cough out his lungs.
"You..." Yuan Yi paused, with a look of surprise on his face, "What's wrong with you?"
Xie Wanzhou shook his head and coughed, his voice trembling, "I... cough cough... female Xie cough cough..."
At the back, Xie Wanzhou had rolled his eyes and was still coughing heavily.
Yuan Yi stood up in fright, pointed at her and shouted, "Where are the people from the Yongcheng Marquis!"
Seeing that the time had come, Fang Xu waved towards the people behind him.
Su Zi understood, trotted to the center of the hall, knelt down with a plop, and cried blood every word, "If you return to His Royal Highness, this servant belongs to Yongcheng Houfu!"
Yuan Yi had veins on his forehead and pointed at Xie Wanzhou, trembling faintly, "She... what's going on with her!"
Su Zi's emotions came quickly, and soon his eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs, "Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know something. My girl is frail and seriously ill. She has to cough for four hours every day!"
When Fang Xu heard this, he almost couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
This girl is really exaggerating!
Su Zi continued to play steadily, "Our wife shed tears a lot because of the important matter of the marriage of the young lady. Thank you, Your Highness, for relieving our wife of such a big worry!"
Yuan Yi was agitated and subconsciously denied it, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not true, it's not true!"
"His Royal Highness, cough, cough, cough..."
Xie Wanzhou covered her mouth and stuffed a piece of fruit into her mouth with the help of her long sleeves.
The next moment, Xie Wanzhou screamed, spit out a large mouthful of blood, and then rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Miss!" Su Zi supported her sliding body, knelt on the ground and cried, "Please, Your Highness, please don't take back your life, just fulfill our Marquis' wish!"
"Although some fortune tellers have said that our young lady is destined to be a prince, your highness, the prince, is the son of a true dragon, so you will definitely be fine!"
As soon as these words came out, the sound of gasping could be heard throughout the hall.
Fang Xu was sitting not far away and could clearly feel countless eyes falling on him.
The ladies around him all looked at Fang Xu sympathetically, their eyes full of sadness.
The second young master is extremely ugly, and the eldest young lady is very sick and is about to die.
This Yongcheng Houfu...
well.
Yuan Yi was really frightened by the scene in front of him. He waved his hands repeatedly and shouted loudly, "Shut up! I will never want this woman! Whoever loves her will want her!"
As he finished speaking, perhaps because he was afraid that his character would collapse, Yuan Yi added another sentence, "Get her down quickly and send the imperial doctor to take a look at her!"
Su Zi sniffed and wanted to plead for his young lady, "Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
"Get out!" Yuan Yi waved his hand, his face filled with anger that he could no longer suppress.
"No one wins today!"
With only this sentence left, Yuan Yi left with a confused Lu Tingting.
Su Zi and Bai Ji helped Xie Wanzhou, who was pretending to be faint, and walked towards Fang Xu while trying not to laugh.
Fang Xu was also full, put down his chopsticks and stood up, whispering, "It's getting late, let's go home."
"I'll go back with you." Fang Lan also stood up and walked to their side.
Xie Wanzhou quietly opened his eyes a crack and looked at the two of them.
"You girl!" Fang Lan suppressed the corner of her mouth, secretly raised her finger and tapped her nose, "You are so smart!"
"It was my mother's idea." Xie Wanzhou whispered with bright red juice still hanging from the corners of her mouth.
"Let's go quickly." Fang Xu winked at the two maids and whispered, "Get out of the palace immediately to avoid a long night of dreams."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from behind him.
"Mrs. Yongchenghou, please stay!"
