The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

"Zheng, zhengzheng", Shen Baozhao began to pluck the strings. A murderous aura rushed towards him.

Then Cui Mingzhu's flute sound gradually sounded, and the wind was howling.

Feng Feiyan, wearing a dark red robe, had her hair held up high with a hairpin.

Holding a sharp sword in hand, he came with a heroic look.

She moved as fast as snow, with great momentum. She spun around three times in one step, without any flaws. She was like a young general fighting on the battlefield.

As Shen Baozhao's strumming speed increased, the rhythm of the others also quickened.

The Duanning County Lady at the side followed the rhythm and began to sing: "Who says I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raises his army, I will sharpen my spear. I share the same hatred with you!"

......

Everyone was intoxicated by the sonorous and resolute sound of the zither and flute, the graceful and easy sword dance, and the melodious singing.

It was as if I saw a young general on the battlefield, holding a spear, astride his horse, and giving orders.

The young man on the other side of the lake was attracted by the rhythm when the music was halfway through, and slowly approached, stopping when he was three meters away from the women.

Xiao Yuanhuai, Xue Sheng and others also came down from the attic and hid among the young masters.

With the fall of the last note in Shen Baozhao's hand, the song ended.

Feng Feiyan put away her sword and put away her robe.

The four of them bowed to the eldest princess and said, "Congratulations to the eldest princess (mother) on this day every year."

The eldest princess was also immersed in the performance of several people, and she did not come to her senses until Nanny Li pulled her sleeve.

"Okay, okay, I like it very much. Get up quickly." The eldest princess's satisfaction was beyond words.

Madam Xiao praised: "The ladies have really opened my eyes today. The princess is so lucky."

Everyone understood what Madam Xiao meant. One of the four people was the eldest princess' daughter, and one was the eldest princess' daughter-in-law.

Isn’t the eldest princess the biggest winner?

"Yes, yes. The four young ladies shined brightly. They outshined all the other girls present." Another lady said jokingly.

The noblemen who were three meters away all clapped their hands in appreciation.

Seeing that Xue Sheng's eyes in the crowd were almost glued to Feng Feiyan, Su Yuheng's face turned pale and she clenched her fists.

Those long nails broke the skin on the palms, but he seemed to feel no pain.

Finally, when Feng Feiyan retreated and passed by her, she finally lost her mind.

He secretly stretched out his left foot and tripped Feng Feiyan.

Feng Feiyan did not expect that someone would attack her secretly. The sword in her hand slipped out of her hand and she fell straight to the ground.

In a flash, Shen Baozhao, who was walking beside her, took a side step, grabbed Feng Feiyan with one hand, and blocked the sword with the other.

"Ding" the long sword fell to the ground, and in the end it did not lean towards the other lady beside it.

The lady's face was pale and she had escaped death.

Blood was flowing out from the base of Shen Baozhao's right hand.

"Hiss." She didn't dare to show her martial arts skills in front of others, otherwise, with her skills, how could she be injured.

Fortunately, no one else had any accidents, otherwise Feng Feiyan would have been blamed today. It was no big deal for her to suffer some physical pain.

Shen Baozhao hurriedly asked Cui Mingzhu to take out the homemade medicine from her sleeve and sprinkle it on the wound. The bleeding stopped in a short while.

The accident happened in just a moment, and before many people noticed, Shen Baozhao had already turned the situation around.

Feng Feiyan was furious when she saw Shen Baozhao was injured in order to save her. She yelled at Su Yuheng, "Why did you try to trip me?"

Su Yuheng did not expect that Feng Feiyan would actually bring up the matter in public.

He pretended to be shocked, put one hand on his chest, and tears of grievance fell.

"Second Miss Feng, you were not careful when you walked, but you slandered me.

I don't know how I have offended Miss Feng Er, but you want to put the blame on me."

After saying this, he collapsed to the ground as if he couldn't bear being wronged.

Everyone in the world sympathizes with the weak. The contrast between Feng Feiyan's angry face and Su Yuheng's aggrieved face has already made people who don't understand the situation tend to favor Su Yuheng.

Everyone was whispering to the person next to them.

Moreover, Feng Feiyan has always had a bad reputation. If it weren't for the Princess's Mansion, someone would have taken advantage of the situation to speak up for Su Yuheng.

Feng Feiyan wanted to argue, but was pulled back by Shen Baozhao, who shook her head at her.

I'm afraid no one has noticed what happened today. If I question it again, it will be seen as an additional aggressive accusation by others.

But Shen Baozhao was unwilling to let Su Yuheng turn the tables on him.

Qingkong had already bandaged Shen Baozhao's wound with plain white cotton cloth.

Shen Baozhao walked up to Su Yuheng, squatted down, and covered his injured right hand with his wide sleeves.

He used his uninjured left hand to help Su Yuheng up.

Shen Baozhao saw that Su Yuheng had a pitiful look on her face, but he did not hide the smug look that flashed in his eyes.

Shen Baozhao continued to pace and stood with Feng Feiyan.

"Ms. Su, what if I say that I also saw you stretching your legs?" Shen Baozhao paused, and Su Yuheng was about to open her mouth to refute.

Shen Baozhao continued, "You will definitely say that Feiyan and I are good friends, and it is possible that I helped her to give false testimony."

"Of course." Su Yuheng said angrily.

Shen Baozhao showed a faint smile on his face and continued to ask: "Then according to what Miss Su said, do you dare to swear that you didn't stretch your legs to trip anyone?"

Su Yuheng hesitated. Of course, she didn't dare to swear casually.

I wiped the tears from my face with a handkerchief and was thinking of what excuse I could come up with to avoid him.

However, a handsome man stepped forward and said, "It's really funny. Why do people who are wrongly accused have to swear an oath to prove their innocence?"

"Instead of you producing evidence to prove that my sister is the culprit? Or is it that there is no evidence and it is just empty slander?"

It turned out to be the eldest master of the Su family.

Once the eldest son of the Su family came out to question, the matter could no longer be resolved simply as a conflict between daughters, and it undoubtedly made things worse.

Xiao Yuanhuai pushed Xue Sheng out in the crowd.

Xue Sheng, who had just stood up, staggered, vaguely remembered what Xiao Yuanhuai had just said in his ear: "How can you ignore your fiancée when she is in trouble?"

The uncle was too rude, and he didn't intend to ignore it. After all, he knew that Feng Feiyan was not someone who would use shady means.

If Su Yuheng didn't really stretch her legs, then there must be some misunderstanding.

Then he bowed to Young Master Su and said, "This must be a misunderstanding. I hope Young Master Su will not be unreasonable."

When Su Yuheng saw Xue Sheng coming out, she thought he was here to seek justice for her. Unexpectedly, he was here to help Feng Feiyan resolve the matter.

The pain in my heart is hard to describe, and my tears are flowing like a flood, unable to be stopped.

Young Master Su naturally knew what his sister was thinking. Seeing her sad and upset, he didn't know the truth of the matter.

But now that he has the upper hand, how can he be willing to just let things go?

"Master Xue's lovely wife hasn't even married yet, but he's already protecting her so tightly. He's trying to smooth things over regardless of right or wrong. Is this really okay?"

"Or is it that making false accusations without any evidence is the way the Princess's Mansion behaves?"

Xiao Yuanhuai held his forehead with his hand. How come Xue Sheng was making things worse and worse?

Xue Sheng also secretly sighed, how come Young Master Su was so eloquent, he was almost as eloquent as the officials of the Censorate.

"Master Su, how do you know there is no evidence?"

Shen Baozhao's expression was still calm, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and he walked out slowly.
