The emperor coughed: "Sister, this is the New Year's banquet, please pay attention to your wording."
At this time, Lin Yuzhi was spinning the wine glass in his hand, looking at Wen Yu thoughtfully, seeming to understand something, and gently curled his lips.
"I'm very strict with my words. She dares to deceive me, but I can't say she farted in her mouth?" Wen Yu was unconvinced and looked at Chen Xiuling, "What do you think?"
Chen Xiuling was so frightened by the word "deceiving the king" that she fell to her knees. Cold sweat broke out uncontrollably on her back. She opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
The word was so serious that it could kill her.
After hearing these words, the Marquis of Lin'an quickly stood up and knelt beside Chen Xiuling. He asked respectfully and nervously: "I don't know why the eldest princess said this. I really can't bear the words of a little girl who bullies the king."
Wen Yu touched her chin and did not answer Lin'an Marquis' question. Instead, she looked at Li Qingyi and said, "I have to ask Li Qingyi now."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Qingyi's hands and feet, which were so stiff that he was even more flustered than when he presented the New Year's gift just now.
She understood what the eldest princess meant, and she was standing up for her.
But as long as she speaks, she will offend Chen Xiuling to death. Does she really want to do this?
But seeing Wen Yu's gentle gaze, Li Qingyi's originally worried heart suddenly calmed down.
She took a breath and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am not good at composing poems. When I was in the Plum Forest, I didn't write any stunning plum poems. But Miss Chen just said that I..."
Li Qingyi paused: "I don't know why Miss Chen said that just now."
Wen Yu nodded and poked the emperor's arm: "Brother, look, isn't this bullying the emperor?"
As soon as these words came out, the ladies who were in Merlin before all tacitly tightened their handkerchiefs, for fear that they would also be involved.
The ministers' thoughts turned around a few times. Everyone could tell from the scene just now that Li Qingyi had offended Chen Xiuling, and Chen Xiuling used the literary fight to teach her a lesson.
It's just that no one expected that such a trivial matter, which everyone saw through but didn't say anything about, would be elevated to the level of bullying by the eldest princess.
But if you want to say that you are not deceiving you, then you are indeed deceiving.
This Chen Xiuling is so bold as to use the name of the Holy One to teach others a lesson. Does she think she is the eldest princess?
The ministers felt a little complicated for a while.
The emperor's face showed no distinction between joy and anger. He looked at the kneeling father and daughter below and said softly: "Does Chen Xiuling have any excuse?"
Chen Xiuling couldn't help but shudder when she heard her name coming out of the emperor's mouth.
She couldn't admit it. If she did, it would be the crime of deceiving the emperor, and she would be finished.
It's just that she doesn't understand how the eldest princess knew that Li Qingyi had not composed the poem and still stood up for her.
Chen Xiuling gritted his teeth and took a gamble: "These are all her words. I dare to ask the eldest princess, have you ever seen it with your own eyes?"
Wen Yu shrugged: "I didn't see it."
Hearing this, Chen Xiuling clenched her palms: "Holy Mingjian, at that time in Meilin, she and I used silver hairpins as the starting point to compete in poems. If my poem beat hers, she would give the silver hairpin to me."
"But now the silver hairpin is still in Li Qingyi's bun, which shows that her poems have surpassed mine."
Li Qingyi didn't expect that she would say this, and was completely stunned. She subconsciously touched her silver hairpin and looked at Wen Yu nervously.
Wen Yu leaned lazily on the seat, holding her chin and uttered: "The old sow wears a bra, one set after another."
emperor:……
Minister:…
Wen Yu said leisurely: "Although I didn't see it, Lin Yuzhi did, right, Prime Minister?"
Lin Yuzhi was indifferent, as if he had expected that Wen Yu would mention him.
He said calmly: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen did witness what happened to Merlin with his own eyes, and what Miss Li said is true. The eldest princess was with Wei Chen at the time, so she saw clearly."
Wen Yu glared at him, was the next sentence necessary?
The emperor looked a little strange. Why is the emperor's sister getting together with the prime minister again?
Then he looked at Wen Yu with helplessness in his eyes, as if to say: Sister Huang, I know you are still thinking about the Prime Minister, stop pretending.
Wen Yu:......
At this time, Chen Xiuling was already pale and fell to the ground shivering.
The Marquis of Lin'an closed his eyes. He had already made a decision in his heart. Now that the matter was over, he should bear the pain and give up.
"I am reporting to Your Majesty that my little girl deceived Your Majesty and deserves death..."
The emperor raised his hand to interrupt him, not wanting to hear it: "Sister Huang, you are the one who brought the accusation. What do you think?"
Wen Yu said: "I see with my eyes."
The emperor held his forehead, looked at the audience, and said solemnly: "Because you are ignorant, stupid, and it is your first offender, you will be exempted from the death penalty. But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped."
"Where is the Minister of Dali Temple?"
Jiang Qi stood up and said, "Wei Chen is here."
"Thirty-year punishment with a cane and three years' imprisonment."
Chen Xiuling closed her eyes after hearing this, her eyelashes kept trembling, but she didn't dare to let tears fall.
Ignorance and stupidity were comments that were more painful to her than killing her. Her pride was severely crushed by the Holy Lord's Chrysostom.
She can no longer hold her head high in the circle of noble women.
In a daze, she seemed to hear the sarcastic laughter of the other ladies, which hit her heart like a whip, and her inferiority and shame surged up crazily.
At that moment, she seemed to understand why the eldest princess wanted to stand up for Li Qingyi.
Chen Xiuling raised his head slightly and met Wen Yu's lazy gaze.
Wen Yu looked at her and said: "Let's forget about the cane punishment. It's a great New Year's day. Don't make it bloody. It's enough to be banned for three years and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. Well... let's add a 30,000-word self-reflection." .”
The emperor had no objection: "Then just follow what the imperial sister said."
The New Year's Eve banquet also came to an end with this incident.
After the ministers dispersed on their own, the emperor said leisurely: "Is the emperor satisfied?"
Wen Yu chuckled, grabbed the emperor's sleeve and shook it: "I know you understand me, brother emperor."
The emperor sighed: "The crime of deceiving the emperor, with such a big name, you can't imagine it."
"How can you scare people with a small name? When she bullied Li Qingyi in Meiyuan today, she was so arrogant, even more arrogant than me, the eldest princess. Later, she used you as a raft to continue humiliating others. I didn't even use you. She pretended to be powerful, but she became more powerful first. I was thinking, am I the eldest princess or is she the eldest princess?"
Wen Yu kept talking with her little mouth.
The emperor couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: "Didn't you use me to show off to others?"
