The voice just now was as clear as the man's, and everyone turned their heads and looked back.
"These are all fine spices, why are they scattered on the ground?"
After the people behind him saluted Qi Mingyue, they slowly walked up to the pavilion and looked at the powder on the ground in front of them, with regret in their eyes.
"Sister Chen doesn't know that this is a novel idea thought up by the princess. Look, this is a fragrant arrow. The head of the arrow is wrapped with fragrant powder. Just shoot it out. If it hits someone, the fragrant powder will scatter. It’s not elegant and interesting to leave a fragrance on the ground!”
A noble lady in the pavilion seemed to be familiar with the visitor, and handed over a fragrant arrow from the table.
The expressions of the other noble ladies were quite cold, and upon closer inspection, there was a hint of disgust in their eyes, but the strange thing was that all of them were trying their best to hide this disgust.
"Is this maid the target?"
Chen Shujun took the fragrant arrow, looked at it carefully, and then suddenly looked up at the peach leaves standing with their heads hanging down.
"How could it be possible? Sister Chen misunderstood. When it comes to targets, these maids are all targets!"
The noble girl who just handed over the fragrant arrows said with a smile.
They all serve Princess Mingyue on weekdays, and they still have a certain understanding of the princess's thoughts. Even if they were a little confused at first, looking at Lu Fang's behavior later, they knew that the princess was specifically toying with this girl named Tao Ye. Maid.
But the princess didn't want to expose this matter, so naturally they couldn't admit it either.
"Then why is this maid's body covered with fragrant powder, while the others are very clean!"
Chen Shujun's slightly cold words made Qi Mingyue a little angry.
"We are no better than the men outside. It is normal to shoot whoever we want and who we do not shoot!"
"Censor Chen is the one who specifically mentions people's faults in the court. Now in the court, Miss Chen also wants to find faults with this princess!"
Qi Mingyue didn't want to speak at first, not because she was afraid of the person in front of her, but because she acted a little out of line a few times, and Chen Shujun's father, the imperial censor Chen Zhili, made a statement in front of his father.
Her father would just laugh and scold her a few times and then give up. But her mother would punish her every time by copying the palace rules and etiquette, and would not let her leave the palace until she could finish copying them.
Isn't it because he is afraid of affecting the reputation of the prince's brother?
But what happened today has nothing to do with those etiquette and rules.
"Your Majesty, I'm brave. I don't agree with what the princess just said. My father is a censor. He admonishes the emperor and supervises all officials. He does his duty and speaks according to the rules of the court. How can it be so? Specialize in finding fault with others!”
Chen Shujun bowed again, the etiquette was thoughtful and formal, but her words did not give in.
"You... are presumptuous!"
Qi Mingyue was blocked and speechless, with anger on her face.
"Is it true that this princess is afraid of your father? If you commit the crime today, I must make you know what royal dignity is? Someone..."
"Princess, Miss Chen just spoke a little more directly, which didn't sit well with you. Princess, please don't be as knowledgeable as her!"
"That's right, Japan is having fun today, but I'm spoiled for fun!"
…
The noble girl in the pavilion hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Qi Mingyue.
They also dislike the Chen family because their father and brother have all been impeached by Chen Yushi at one time or another. But no one in Shengjing knows that Chen Yushi's iron teeth and bronze teeth will make anyone encounter them. There was a lot of blood.
Not only that, Chen Yushi was also a weirdo. His wife died of illness early in his life, and he did not make any plans to renew the relationship. He doted on his only daughter to the extreme.
That year, several princes and princes laughed at Miss Chen's appearance. Later, the heads of these families received orders from His Majesty for various reasons. One of them even lost a good job that he was about to get.
If Chen Yushi knew that their daughter was being taught a lesson by the princess, and they were also there, they simply couldn't imagine the consequences.
After all, princesses are golden branches and jade leaves, so this anger is all caused by them.
"Besides, these spices have a strong and special fragrance. They are probably tributes from foreign countries. Your Majesty has recently given them to the princess. Gifts from the royal family should be respected. However, the princess throws them away so casually, and I also feel it is inappropriate!"
But what the ladies in the pavilion didn't expect was that Chen Shujun would actually add fuel to the fire.
"Princess, please calm down. Yushi Chen is content with poverty. Miss Chen rarely has such precious spices, so it is such a pity to see the spices all over the ground!"
The person who was familiar with Chen Shujun winked at her frequently, but Chen Shujun didn't give her a look, so she could only continue to smile apologetically at Qi Mingyue.
"Yes, the princess has a noble status and is loved by His Majesty. What kind of gift from the emperor have I never seen!"
Another noble lady also advised.
These noble ladies have been around Mingyue for a long time, and the words they say can indeed calm her anger, but Chen Shujun's stern and upright look, to Qi Mingyue, is a clear provocation.
As arrogant as she is, how can she tolerate others being so arrogant?
"Everyone go away, come..."
Mingyue was about to ask the maid to take the person into custody when a sound broke through the air. The next moment, the right half of Chen Shujun's bun fell down, and the white jade hairpin fell to the ground, shattering to pieces.
Everyone was shocked by this scene and looked in the direction of the arrow, only to see Lu Fang put down the bow in her hand with a nonchalant expression.
"The princess is as precious as a golden branch and jade leaf. She is extremely noble. How can I allow you to offend me wantonly?"
After Lu Fang finished speaking to Chen Shujun, she threw the bow on the table, walked to Qi Mingyue and bowed.
"Princess, you don't have to be familiar with these people. I have some novel items that my brother just got. Princess, can you please take a look at them?"
"In this case, I will be magnanimous for once and not argue with you!"
Qi Mingyue saw that half of Chen Shujun's bun was loose and she looked embarrassed. The awe-inspiring arrogance seemed to have disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the anger in her heart calmed down a lot.
With the persuasion of Lu Fang and everyone else, I consciously did not lose face.
After all, she was so angry just now that she wanted someone to take action. But if she really punished Chen Shujun today, she would not only be punished by her mother, but also reprimanded by the prince's brother.
Brother Prince might really not let her come to the academy, so how could she see Brother Ajiu?
"Farewell to the princess!"
Qi Mingyue stood up and walked away surrounded by the maids.
After the argument just now, Taoye and Xie Yunrou were put aside.
"Are you okay? The princess is gone, don't be afraid!"
After Mingyue left, Xie Yunrou looked at Taoye gently and said.
"It's okay, my slave!"
Tao Ye's voice was timid, her eyebrows lowered and her eyes narrowed, not even daring to raise her head.
"The clothes on your body are covered with perfume. If you go out like this, you will inevitably be criticized by those outside. Why don't you go to my place, freshen up and change clothes!"
Taoye lowered his head and hesitated. The fragrant powder stained on his body was light red, amber, and black. It looked really ugly.
Moreover, it is full of strong fragrance. If you walk all the way back, I am afraid it will become a strange sight in the academy.
But she really didn't want to follow the Miss Xie in front of her.
