(Original Chapter 92)
Duke Zhenguo blushed instantly when he was teased by Danyang.
Although Emperor Xuande thought so in his heart, he just couldn't openly mock his ministers like this. At the same time, I also felt that Danyang's joke with his elders was a bit too much.
"Danyang."
at the same time--
"father!"
The sudden scream startled Emperor Xuande.
It turned out that when he was lowering his head and preparing to reprimand Danyang for restraining himself, among the people following behind Duke Zhen Guo, Bai Mingzhu, the eldest daughter of the Du family, had unexpectedly rushed to Duke Zhen Guo's side.
"Are your legs and feet hurt?"
Bai Mingzhu supported the Duke of Zhen, who was trembling with anger or embarrassment, and turned to glare at Danyang.
Because Danyang's voice was not lowered at all.
So those harsh words of ridicule fell on the ears of everyone present.
Among them were the nearby Emperor Xuande and his entourage, Duke Zhen Guo and Du's eldest daughter Bai Mingzhu. Naturally, there were also respectable tribesmen from other parties who arrived later and could pick him up, as well as personal servants to serve them.
In front of everyone, this sentence was like a bright slap, actually slapping Bai Mingzhu's face.
The hot, painful humiliation drove her almost crazy, with tears in her eyes. She was so forced that she no longer cared about the ladylike manners she had been taught in the past, and gritted her teeth and rushed forward.
I just want to use all my courage and strength to make the culprit pay some price.
Unfortunately, Danyang seems to have eyes behind his back.
Before she could get close to him, Danyang suddenly turned his head and gave her a weird smile!
Just when Bai Mingzhu was about to collide with her, Danyang deftly retracted his hand and straightened up. He turned on the spot, looked directly at Bai Mingzhu, and took two neat steps back to Emperor Xuande's side.
The cold smile and clear eyes seemed to have split Bai Mingzhu's whole body apart and looked into her heart.
This creepy feeling made Bai Mingzhu break out in a cold sweat instantly. His whole body shivered with coldness, and he instinctively hid behind Duke Zhen Guo.
Although Emperor Xuande was belatedly aware of Bai Mingzhu's arrival, he saw everything that happened after that.
Although due to the angle, he could see in his eyes the expression of Bai Mingzhu who was just facing him, and the actions of the two of them.
But only this limited scene allowed him to deduce the general outline, and he narrowed his eyes slightly in surprise.
If he remembered correctly, Mrs. Wu would always talk to him about family matters at palace banquets in recent years when she came to toast.
For example, although this girl Danyang has a wild temper, she is not loved by the noble ladies in the capital and even her mother Qinghe. But in the Duke's mansion, the sisters of the same generation are still very popular and well-liked?
In particular, Bai Mingzhu, the eldest daughter of the current Duke of Zhenguo and Danyang's eldest cousin. That is something that must be mentioned every time. In Mrs. Wu's words, she is like a close friend of Danyang. The two talk about everything and are inseparable.
He was very relieved at the time that he was overly pampered and did not leave this girl alone or surrounded by sycophants and people with ulterior motives. I even thought for a while that Qinghe's reclusiveness and avoidance of others was just a result of his personality.
But now it seems that some of them are really not flatterers, but daring ones with ulterior motives!
The moment Bai Mingzhu approached Danyang, the flash of deep malice and ferocity in her eyes made Emperor Xuande frightened and frightened at the same time.
but……
Oh, this girl from Danyang.
Although the fox pretends to be the tiger's power, it is really used more and more skillfully. But in terms of ghost ideas, it seems that there are more and more tricks?
After that, Emperor Xuande turned his gaze in front of him and could only see Danyang above his head. At the same time, he slightly curled his lips in relief and laughter.
Really, how could such a rare child not be a boy? Why……
At this time, after the kneeling Duke Zhen Guo took his breath, he finally saw clearly from his panic that Emperor Xuande did not look displeased.
So he hurriedly calmed down the frightened and angry breath in his chest, and then said calmly:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. My daughter is rude. She is really worried about your frail body."
As he spoke, Duke Zhen Guo secretly used force to gently pull down his daughter who was holding his arm behind him. He signaled the other party to make up for the impoliteness he had just done, and he also knelt down together.
Bai Mingzhu understood immediately, quickly stepped forward, knelt down and begged Emperor Xuande:
"My daughter was in a hurry and lost her etiquette in front of the emperor. I would like to ask your Majesty to punish you."
The reason was that the incident happened suddenly, and everyone in the Duke's Mansion who was stunned on the spot also knelt down on the ground and apologized with one voice.
"I'm late to pick you up, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
At this moment, the guard commander was completely relieved, but Emperor Xuande and Danyang were not in such a good mood.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Xuande spoke and said calmly:
"Get flat."
He raised his hand to help the Duke of Zhen Guo and signaled the guards to pull him up. Emperor Xuande continued:
"I suddenly got up today and wanted to be an ordinary person and visit my relatives' houses. There is no need for Duke Bai to mobilize troops and mobilize people like this."
Because there were several generations of direct descendants living in Zhenguo's palace, although there were many capable people among them, there were really not many who could get married to Emperor Xuande.
As soon as these words came out, the Duke of Zhen Guo Bai Deqing paused for a while, confessed his crime, and immediately stood up. After pulling up his daughter who was kneeling with him, he turned around to clear out the people from the Duke's Mansion who had come with him.
At this time, Bai Mingzhu was about to take the opportunity to step forward to chat with Emperor Xuande as a "relative", but was blocked by Danyang who stepped forward again.
In front of Emperor Xuande, she couldn't openly quarrel with Danyang, so she could only smile and greet:
"When did Seventh Sister come to the house? Why didn't you send someone to inform me?"
There was nothing strange about his warm words and deeds, even his eyes.
If he hadn't seen the way Bai Mingzhu looked at Danyang under stimulation beforehand, Emperor Xuande would never have believed that the little girl who had just grown hair could be so eloquent.
Although my niece is hated by others, this is true. But it’s impossible to make the other party harbor hatred and want to take advantage of it, right?
The more Emperor Xuande watched, the more unhappy he felt, and he was ready to speak directly to block the interaction between the two.
At this moment, I heard Danyang say with a smile:
"Hey, cousin, why are you so polite? We are all a family, and this is my grandparents' home, isn't it? Isn't it possible that the elder cousin is still worried that I will get lost?"
Bai Mingzhu, who was more heartbroken than Buqian, immediately changed her expression when she heard this.
This, what did this wild girl say? !
Was she hinting to Emperor Xuande that her words just now were intended to exclude her? !
Thinking of this moment, Bai Mingzhu broke out in cold sweat. But he could only keep a stiff smile and continued to laugh:
"Haha, Seventh Sister is as big as a brat. I can't say anything about you, cousin. As long as you stay here as you like, I don't have any other ideas."
