The sick king dotes on the princess and the mad concubine

Chapter 19 19. Lanze Qi
The queen's quiet eyes flickered slightly: "Oh?"

Yun Jieyu sighed, not knowing whether it was on purpose or not: "I heard that King Chen was assassinated in the suburbs of Beijing a few days ago, and he seems to be injured."

"Prince Chen... was injured?!" The queen asked softly.

"Yeah, I was with her at that time. If it wasn't for protecting Yin Jieyou, how could King Chen be injured?!"

"Princess..." Wu Qianyun's voice of disapproval sounded again, "How can we talk about things that are just hearsay at the banquet?"

Yun Jieyu curled his lips, but did not continue.Wu Qianyun let her know about this incident. At that time, Qianyun panicked after she finished speaking, and repeatedly emphasized that she should not tell others, so as not to affect Yin Jieyou's boudoir reputation.It's ridiculous, does Yin Jieyou have a boudoir reputation?
Many court officials and female relatives with sharp ears naturally heard it, but no one took up the topic.At this time, a noble lady talked about other things, and the topic of Yin Jieyou was turned over.

During the great funeral, it is normal for the queen to hold a banquet, and the corresponding dance and music are naturally omitted.Just as the banquet started, a eunuch came to deliver word that Yin Jieyou had arrived.

The voice that was just talking in a low voice immediately disappeared, and the entire Chongqing Palace became completely silent.

The queen raised her hand: "Pass."

The little eunuch left in response, and everyone's eyes turned involuntarily, only to see a young girl in a lake-green dress appearing at the gate of the palace, her long hair was tied up in a bun, her eyes were picturesque but her temperament was beautiful. Elegant, with white skin like snow, and a bird-shaped flower on the forehead, she walked on the red carpet with a straight face, her brows were calm and calm, without any embarrassment or fear of being late, everyone felt that this temperament was better than the rumors Not a lot.

Yao Lan's eyes lit up standing behind the queen, this... isn't the girl who saved her that day!
"My daughter, Yin Jieyou, pays homage to the empress..."

While everyone was sizing up Yin Jieyou, the queen's phoenix eyes never left Yin Jieyou at all. Looking at the Princess Yin, who was saluting calmly, her gaze also became deeper.

"Exemption."

"Thank you Queen."

"Yin Jieyou, I really have you, and you are still late on such a big day." Before Yin Jieyou could stand up, Yun Jieyu, who had been watching the show, couldn't wait to open his mouth to sarcasm.As soon as the words fell, several noble ladies immediately echoed in low voices.

"That's right, the empress's invitation, but she dared to be late, I really don't know what to do..."

"I don't think the Empress Dowager is in my heart at all..."

"I said she didn't understand the etiquette in the palace. She thought that the banquet in the palace was the same as the country fair, and that she could go to any time..."

"This is such a big place in the palace, maybe I got lost..."

Whispering voices rang out along with low laughter. It was not a whisper at all in the originally quiet hall. Most of the people listened to it, and looked at Yin Jieyou with unpredictable eyes. She felt sorry for her alone. Orphan girls are always looked at by people wherever they go, some people hate iron but steel, never thought that the only daughter of the Yin Palace is such a person, more people are just waiting to see the good show.

The empress in the seat finally opened her mouth and said calmly: "Why is the princess so late?"

Yin Jieyou raised his head: "Returning to the empress's words, Jieyou received her invitation to a banquet a few days ago, so naturally she didn't dare or forget it, and kept it in her heart all the time, but the time said to the eunuch that day was not today, so Now that the courtier has heard the news, she came here in a hurry and was late."

"Oral order?"

The queen frowned.Even some people in the next seat were puzzled.

Yin Jieyou said: "What the minister received was indeed a verbal order, and the time is not today."

Yun Jieyu snorted, "Don't make excuses. Who doesn't know that the Queen's sister-in-law sent a post to invite the banquet, so why did you receive a verbal order? Could it be that you didn't take that post seriously and misread the time , Now that you are late, you made up such a thing? I thought you just didn't think much of me, but unexpectedly, you didn't even think much of the queen's sister-in-law."

Yin Jieyou looked at Yun Jieyu and smiled slightly: "Of course I don't pay attention to the empress."

Could it be that Yun Jieyu and the others were stunned and looked at Yin Jieyou in disbelief. They never expected her to say such a thing, but Yin Jieyou said again: "I take the empress in my heart. I am an orphan girl. If it wasn't for the kindness of the emperor and the queen empress, who was sympathetic to my aunt who was alone in the capital with no one to take care of her, she would never have had the chance to enter the capital. It will never be too late."

Yun Jieyu snorted, "The princess is really good at talking. If you really take the queen's sister-in-law to heart, why would you be late? You keep saying that the eunuch told the wrong time, but it's not because you are late. Come up with an excuse."

"Then... what does Yi Jieyu mean?" the queen asked.

Yun Jieyu was waiting for this sentence. Sure enough, it was Wu Qianyun who knew the queen better, and every sentence he taught her was perfect and impeccable. She couldn't help but cast a proud glance at Yin Jieyou, but Yin Jieyou still had his eyebrows on. Faintly, without any expression of fear and anxiety, I couldn't help being a little surprised, and then the accident turned into anger: "I know my sister-in-law is an extremely honest and virtuous person, even if the princess is late, she is definitely reluctant to punish the princess, but... If everyone follows suit in the future and all come late, and they all have an excuse that the people below are not doing their job well, then what should we do, wouldn’t it be a mess?”

At this moment, several voices came out again, echoing Yun Jieyu's words.

Wu Qianyun said: "What the third princess said is not unreasonable, but after all Princess Jieyou is the only seedling in the Yin Palace. The queen empress does not remember the villain's faults, so please forgive her..."

Yin Jieyou raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect Wu Qianyun to speak for her at this critical moment. However, how could such a hypocritical person really have such good intentions? This seemingly begging for mercy was actually tantamount to letting Yin Jieyou admit that he was late. Deliberately, it's just a ruthless soft knife.

The queen's expression was calm. She naturally knew that Princess Jieyou's late arrival today was nothing more than Yun Jieyu's fuss, but she just wanted to see how the calm Prince Yin could resolve this crisis.What is so special about her...

The queen said lightly: "What Xie Yu said makes sense, princess, what do you want to say?"

"Going back to Empress Empress, it's thanks to Empress Empress' grace that Jie You can enter Beijing to serve my aunt, how dare you neglect Empress's late arrival of the banquet—"

Yun Jieyu rushed to interrupt her and said, "You kept saying that you told the eunuch to tell the wrong time, and you just talked empty words, what proof do you have?"

Yin Jieyou paused slightly, then turned to look at Yun Jieyu: "Of course I have evidence."
