As soon as these words came out, everyone had different expressions.
Madam Right Prime Minister's face suddenly turned pale as paper, and her confidants quickly wanted to step forward to grab Lin Xizhao, but Xie Ziyue raised her hand lightly at this moment, signaling her not to move.
"The Imperial Concubine, Xi'er is young and ignorant, maybe she has misunderstood..." Mrs. Right Prime Minister was afraid that Xie Ziyue would punish Lin Xizhao, so she hurriedly performed a squatting salute with a panicked tone.
The adults were not present when this happened, and they didn't know what exactly happened.
She didn't understand why her daughter Hao Duanduan would come forward to identify the eldest princess, but the imperial concubine and the eldest princess were definitely beings they couldn't afford to offend, and even wanted to cling to.
The right prime minister’s wife no longer had time to think about her daughter being a companion to the princess. She just asked her daughter not to be punished for this matter or to implicate the prime minister.
Xie Ziyue seemed not to have heard what Mrs. Right Prime Minister said. She and Tao Xiang walked to Gu Xuan's side and leaned over worriedly: "A Xuan, are you injured anywhere?"
She didn't mention who did it at all. In her heart, her daughter was the most important thing.
These ladies' guesses are true, Xie Ziyue is extremely protective of her shortcomings.
If Gu Xuan really pushed it this time, that would be okay. It must have been that Concubine Jin raised a girl who was too unruly. It was just in time for her to report it to Han Xianzong, and maybe Han Xianzong would still be able to blame Concubine Jin for her incompetence in educating her daughter.
And if Ah Xuan had not done this, she would have rectified her daughter's name on the spot, and she would never have gotten away with it so easily.
The other wives and concubines suddenly felt a subtle feeling in their minds. They had not forgotten that the young lady from Zuo Jianyi's family had been demoted two levels in her official position just because she hurt the princess.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Right Prime Minister became more and more uneasy.
Here, Gu Xuan felt her heart heat up when she saw her mother-in-law touching her body with worried eyes.
When so many people doubted herself, the mother-in-law would not hesitate to believe in herself, and she was even most worried about whether she was injured.
"Mother, I'm fine." Gu Xuan shook her head, caught a glimpse of the others from the corner of her eye, and said in a loud voice, "I didn't do this, she just said whatever she wanted!"
Apart from Gu Rou, the only person who identified her just now was Lin Xizhao. It’s self-evident who said this.
"Then tell the truth and refute her." Xie Ziyue stood up, took Gu Xuan's head into her arms, and touched her head, as if to tell her daughter that she was her supporter.
When she said this, she glanced at Lin Xizhao, but quickly took it back and focused on looking at Gu Xuan's furry head.
Lin Xizhao's knowledge was not bad since she was a child, but she had never seen such a dazzling person as the imperial concubine. She was standing there with her palace skirt winding and her figure graceful. At this moment, she just looked towards this side lightly, and she immediately tightened her grip. He picked up his clothes and didn't dare to look at her.
The right minister's wife noticed her daughter's embarrassment and felt anxious and angry for a moment. After all, it was a piece of flesh that fell off her body. Seeing how helpless she looked at this moment, she felt distressed.
What makes her angry is that her daughter didn't have to get involved in this turmoil and could just wait and be the eldest princess's companion, but in the end she had to identify the eldest princess.
The right minister's wife is very good at observing words and expressions. There were so many wives there just now, but the emperor's concubine only expressed affection towards her in her words. Even a fool can tell that the emperor's concubine is the most preferred candidate.
The other ladies often cast their eyes with hidden meanings. If they weren't concerned that this was the harem, they might not be able to suppress the jealousy in their eyes.
In this case, the almost certain result was shattered by the daughter's identification. Even now, I still worry about whether the imperial concubine will be convicted...
Mrs. Youxiang felt bitter in her heart. From the corner of her eye, she saw the gloating eyes of other married women, and she felt even more aggrieved.
"Where were you standing at that time?" With the support of her mother and concubine, Gu Xuan felt more confident. She looked at Lin Xizhao and asked.
Lin Xizhao was being looked at by so many people. An ordinary child would have been frightened. But her mental quality was pretty good, and she pointed to the position on the right.
"Stand there." Gu Xuan asked her to come over, then called Yan Miaomiao over, and stood with her at the position of the enamel fragments.
Because Gu Rou was still crying in Concubine Jin's arms, it was unrealistic for her to cooperate. Gu Xuan lowered her head and hesitated.
"Bao'er, hurry up! Come up quickly!" Mrs. Zuodu Yushi saw the opportunity, slapped her daughter with her hand, and motioned for her to come up and help.
This Miss He Baoer follows her mother's example and is very clever.
After being pushed by her mother, she immediately ran to Gu Xuan's side and even acted very cleverly, simulating the gesture of Gu Rou biting Yan Miaomiao just now.
After Gu Xuan reacted, she pulled He Baoer, then turned around and asked Lin Xizhao: "Did you see a pull or a push?"
"Push?" Lin Xizhao's tone was a little uncertain.
She stood in the direction of Gu Xuan. Most of Gu Xuan's movements were blocked, and only the movement of one arm could be seen.
So she could only make a rough guess, and the uncertainty in her tone made Sumire's eyes flash with a dark color.
"The eldest princess pulled me...oh no, my maid." Before Gu Xuan could speak, He Baoer spoke.
She blinked her big eyes, and after realizing that she had made a mistake in the title, she subconsciously covered her mouth, looking a little guilty.
Gu Xuan looked up at Lin Xizhao and said in a loud voice: "If I push someone, it should be like this." She pretended to push He Baoer.
Lin Xizhao kept watching and found that she couldn't see any difference between pushing and pulling at that angle. She immediately bit her lip, lowered her head, and stopped talking.
What else don’t the other adults understand when they see this?
When Gu Xuan asked these people to stand in their original positions to demonstrate, they saw the problem - Lin Xizhao's position could not see the full range of Gu Xuan and Gu Rou's movements.
She relied entirely on the result of Gu Rou's crying. Everyone present was familiar with the filth in the backyard, and they knew it was a misunderstanding at a glance.
Mrs. Right Prime Minister couldn't tell whether she felt more happy or disappointed. At this moment, she quickly walked to Lin Xizhao and pulled her daughter to bow:
"The Imperial Concubine, Your Highness the Eldest Princess, this time Xi'er is too young and ignorant to identify her at random. I have failed to teach you the right way, so please punish me."
If the eldest princess really pushed the third princess and her daughter went to identify her, even if she was proven right, it would only make the imperial concubine even more angry.
Rather than messing with Concubine Jin, who wants to mess with the Concubine of the Sixth Palace?
This result is already considered relatively good.
"Madam Youxiang is really ridiculous," Madam Zuodu Yushi covered her mouth and smiled, "The person you misunderstood before was Her Highness the Princess. Why are you apologizing to the Queen?"
The implication is that even if the apology should be made, it should be directed to Gu Xuan.
Mrs. Right Prime Minister secretly raised her head and glanced at Mrs. Zuo Du Censor, but was glared at by Mrs. Zuo Du Censor.
Her husband is also a first-class official. Could it be that Mrs. Right Prime Minister still wants to threaten her?
She has nothing to fear!
