Chapter 177
The voice was deep and hoarse, with strong anger, but it still sounded very familiar.

Jing Xuan heard the sound of scolding and immediately looked up, and sure enough, she saw Jing Yu who was walking quickly not far away, different from the gentle and jade-like jade in the past, at this moment, there was a rare sullen expression on his handsome face. His eyes were also sharper.

"Jingxuan, Miss Ye is the concubine chosen by the king, and also the object of the marriage decreed by the father. Are you denying the vision of the father by your words? Also, no matter whether she is ignorant or not, the king is pleased with her." She, this king's concubine, it's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks!"

Hearing this, Jing Xuan's heart was slightly chilled. After all, she had never seen such a side of her brother, who was always as gentle as jade, showing such a side, and even reprimanded her in public, which made her lose face!
Ye Qingyu heard such words of protection, raised her eyes slightly, and indeed saw Mr. Pianpian walking towards her in a purple suit.

He should have come in a hurry, there were thin beads of sweat on his forehead, his handsome face was full of worry, and his pair of starry eyes were full of guilt and affection.

When he was still a few steps away from him, he looked at Ye Qingyu, who had no intention of getting hurt, and asked in an anxious and worried voice:

"Ayu, are you alright?"

For some reason, looking at the straight and slender figure walking towards her quickly, Ye Qingyu felt a sense of security in her heart. She seemed to be touched by her heartstrings, and she no longer deliberately kept her distance, and subconsciously shook her head , smiled slightly:
"I'm fine, why are you here?"

Jing Yu obviously felt very guilty for the person he cherished who fell into such a situation. When he felt that Ye Qingyu's attitude had softened a lot, he directly ignored the surprised eyes of everyone present, and naturally pulled the girl beside him. The woman's hand, gently and sincerely apologized:

"Ayu, I'm sorry to make you suffer all these injustice and criticism because of me, because I came a little late for the court meeting!"

"This tea party is just set up by insignificant arty people. If you don't want to participate, let's go first!"

It is not easy for Jing Yu to react like this. After all, doing so is to openly defend a fool. If it gets out, it may take a long time for Jing Yu, the number one prince in the world, to become the laughing stock of the entire Shengjing city. .

But even so, he was still unwilling to let her be in the vortex of the storm.

This friendship, she promises!
So, just when Jing Yu was about to take Ye Qingyu away from the tea party that was aimed at her, the woman who actually had enough vests to amaze everyone in the world patted his hand. His eyes moved slightly, and he smiled confidently in his ear:

"Don't worry, I can handle it."

"If I leave like this, I really don't deserve to be your future princess, His Highness Ling Wang!"

"How can I put it this way, I can't let us as a couple become the laughing stock of the whole world~"

Ye Qingyu's voice was quiet but domineering. When she saw the confident and frivolous eyes of the person in front of her, Jing Yu nodded clearly, without doubting whether her words were true.

Jing Yu turned forward, sat on the seat that had been vacant all this time, regained his gentle appearance, glanced at the angry and startled Princess Changle, and said in a cool voice:

"Jing Xuan, do you know your mistake?"

As His Majesty's most beloved princess, Jing Xuan never said anything different, and acted even more unscrupulously. It was the first time she was reprimanded so coldly. Immediately, her eyes turned red from being wronged, and she began to speak indiscriminately without seeing the big picture:
"This princess is right!"

"Brother Sanhuang, the younger sister is also for your own good. A useless concubine like Ye Qingyu, why do you marry her?"

"You know that Lu—"

The conversation came to an abrupt end here, and Lu Xueying, who was about to go crazy seeing everything happening before her eyes, quickly interrupted the princess who was about to pull her into it, and smoothed things over:
"Your highness said something wrong all of a sudden, please don't blame me, your highness. The princess held the tea party today for the sake of elegance."

"Because Miss Ye is illiterate and lacks knowledge, Her Royal Highness is also kind, hoping that Miss Ye can learn a thing or two, so don't lose Your Highness's face."

Lu Xueying's words were much more sophisticated and scheming than Jing Xuan's unruly and self-willed Princess Highness. These words not only maintained Jing Xuan's majesty as a princess, but also turned around the conflict just now.

Of course, although these words sound decent, they are still intentionally or unintentionally belittling the person involved, Ye Qingyu.

If you look closely, you can see that in the long and narrow eyes of this seemingly gentle and dignified Miss Lu, there is a lingering hatred, which is dark and crazy.

Ye Qingyu slightly raised her noble and bright eyes, looked at the noble and elegant Miss Lu, smiled leisurely, and retorted unhurriedly:

"Miss Lu's words are wrong. Even though I am not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry, I dare to admit the facts, unlike some people who live in hypocrisy. Such courage, How many of you are there?"

"Of course, it's a bit far-fetched to judge that this lady is illiterate and inelegant based on this matter alone?"

"Furthermore, Miss Ben admits this matter with a clear conscience. Could it be that these princesses and even the majority of people present can wantonly ridicule and hurt me?"

"Whether I can become Princess Ling or not depends on this standard?"

"Or, if you are not proficient in this elegant thing, you can only be ridiculed and humiliated by everyone?"

Questioning loudly, with an imposing manner, just when everyone looked at this mysterious Ms. Ye with admiration, she continued to speak out in a firm tone:
"Although Qing Yu is not talented, he really doesn't have the time and energy to focus on the elegant things that His Royal Highness and even you all say. He is not good at elegant literature, but even if he lives a secular life, Qing Yu believes that in this world, elegance can not be honored." For the honorable status!"

Ye Qingyu would be fine if she didn't speak, but when she spoke, every word was accurate, and the needle hit the nail on the head. Her confident and decisive words shocked everyone who thought she was quiet and weak and dared not resist.

Jing Xuan and Jing Yu are half-brothers, and the relationship is superficial. She originally invited Jing Yu to let him see Ye Qingyu's distressed appearance so that he could change his mind and beg for her good friend Lu Xueying. Got a chance.

When Ye Qingyu blew herself up that she didn't have much talent, she thought that her goal had been achieved, but what she never expected was——

Even her elder brother, who is famous all over the world, not only did not feel disappointed and regretted when he heard the truth, but he also defended it everywhere and reprimanded her in public!
How can she bear this?
Jing Xuan took the lead in asking, clearly wanting to test Ye Qingyu's abilities. Almost instantly, everyone's eyes fell on the little-known young lady of the prime minister's mansion.

Seeing that everyone was watching him, Ye Qingyu couldn't get off the stage without speaking, so she got up without haste, and said in a calm and generous manner:

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. I really don't know anything about tea ceremony, but the tea Her Highness made today is really good tea, and it tastes very sweet. Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

These ladies and gentlemen of the aristocratic families all pretended to be very talented in front of others, but now Ye Qingyu not only did not pretend, but admitted her own shortcomings so frankly, everyone couldn't help being surprised when they heard this.

Of course, following the astonishment, there are varying degrees of contempt and contempt.

After all, it would be a bit vulgar for a celebrity from this family to know nothing about the tea ceremony!
Ye Qingyu's words were frank and easy, but it was precisely because she admitted her inadequacy that the princess Jing Xuan, who had no good intentions, said in disappointment:

"So that's the case. That's really a pity. Of course, Jiangzhou is not Shengjing after all. Ms. Ye will inevitably have restrictions in various aspects there. It is reasonable for her not to be proficient in tea ceremony."

Although they are expressing understanding on the surface, anyone who is not a fool can hear the irony in these words. Jing Xuan and Lu Xueying have a very good personal relationship, and this time is to deliberately make things difficult for Ye Qingyu. When it was over, she immediately said:

"However, Jiangzhou is also a rich place with developed commerce and trade. I just don't know what Ms. Ye has learned in Jiangzhou for ten years? Ms. Ye doesn't know something. The tea party held by our noble family in Kyoto, everyone has to show off own talent."

"Or piano, chess, calligraphy, or poetry, I don't know what Miss Ye is good at, how about winning the first prize for today's tea party carefully prepared by the princess?"

Where there are people, there are comparisons, and so is Shengjing City, which is in the center of the entire Dayong. Nowadays, comparisons are prevalent in this tea party, and Ye Qingyu, who has been in the whirlpool of rumors since she first came back, was targeted everywhere. Inevitably.

After all, in this solidified class, it is really unacceptable for a country girl like Ye Qingyu to suddenly appear without any merit!

So, after Jing Xuan finished asking, almost everyone present was eagerly waiting for Ye Qingyu's response. Of course, a large part of them were just to watch the joke.

However, she did not disappoint these people's expectations. When everyone was looking at her, she sat down calmly and smiled as before, and said very frankly and naturally:

"Thanks to the great kindness of Your Royal Highness, today is Ye Qingyu's first tea party in Kyoto. I really don't know there is such a charter, and I haven't prepared any talents."

"Of course, to tell you the truth, Your Royal Highness, Qing Yu grew up in a rough place, and she is really ignorant of learning, so whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, or poetry, she is not good at any of them, which makes everyone laugh!"

After Ye Qingyu finished speaking, the audience fell into deathly silence.

This tea party for tasting famous tea and exchanging talents on the surface is actually a substandard gathering for the upper-class ladies to compare and entertain. Therefore, even if the people who come here are really illiterate, they will not Openly put it on the bright side.

After all, once there are no strengths that can be used to show off, it will become an object of contempt and contempt for everyone.

As the saying goes, this is a shame, a loss of face for a family.

Therefore, after Ye Qingyu blatantly revealed the fact that she knew nothing, everyone in the audience felt extremely shocked, and even more people sighed inwardly as idiots for such a behavior that was tantamount to suicide.

Of course, what followed were more mocking and contemptuous gazes.

Although Ye Qingyu's frankness made many people who thought they were superior feel self-satisfied by despising those who were inferior to them, but it failed to hide the truth from the really smart people.

At the same moment, a hint of bewilderment flashed in the eyes of Lu Xueying, who had been watching Ye Qingyu all this time.

Because she always felt that in those dark eyes, there was a peerless elegance that was not willing to be mediocre.

How can it be so simple for someone who can be valued by His Highness King Ling?
Lu Xueying was skeptical but didn't find anything unusual, so she simply let Jing Xuan, who was the arrow of the attack, continue to sneer and say:

"Really, this princess doesn't know that the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is so open-minded. Could it be that Ms. Ye has been busy with making a living all these years, so she doesn't know anything?"

"Prime Minister Ye is the head of all the officials. As the eldest lady of the Ye Mansion, if she is not good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry, wouldn't she make the world laugh at her?"

Jing Xuan was being used by Lu Xueying without knowing it. She was able to trample Ye Qingyu under her feet this time, so of course she would not let it go easily. Seeing that her reputation for incompetence was about to spread, she pretended to be hypocritical and said:

"Although Ms. Ye has an open personality, she should always consider one or two things for the family. How about this? This princess has many gentlemen and mothers who are familiar with these things. After today's tea party, this princess will send people to Ye's mansion. Ms. Ye is very talented. You are smart, if you study hard, you will surely become a blockbuster!"

As soon as Jing Xuan said this, it was clear that she was publicly humiliating Ye Qingyu, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's mansion, and gave her a wall to her shoulders. fire way:
"Ms. Ye probably won't reject this princess's kindness, after all, if Ms. Ye doesn't know anything about this elegant thing, how can she become my princess's wife in the future?"

"No matter how you look at it, the incompetent young lady and the famous first son are not compatible, right?"

"If Ms. Ye can't take the position of Princess Ling in the future, she can retire from the army and let her be a virtuous person!"

After this series of words, it really tore Ye Qingyu's face and humiliation for the newcomer, but even after hearing such vicious words, she still sat there calmly, with a smile on her face, unmoved.

Just when the Princess Changle finally finished speaking and was about to see Ye Qingyu's answer, a cold reprimand suddenly came over:
"Presumptuous, Jing Xuan, who allowed you to humiliate my concubine like this?"
