The sickly fox demon is not easy to tease

Everyone stood there in a daze, no one dared to move.

Are you sure that person just now was the useless Nan Xingchen!?

Nan Xingchen used to be timid and cowardly. He spoke in a timid voice and obeyed the words of the two sisters Shi Zhi, not daring to disobey them in the slightest.

Evil, so evil!

She must be possessed by some monster, otherwise how could she be so powerful?

Until Nan Xingchen and Gan Tang disappeared.

Everyone has not yet recovered from their shock.

Even the usually arrogant Princess Chu He did not dare to act rashly. Her father had repeatedly reminded her in the past two days not to make things difficult for Nan Xingchen.

I don't know what kind of seductive tricks she used to make King Xun of Chu look at her with new eyes! ?

In just half an incense stick of time, the miraculous news that Nan Xingchen defeated Shi Qian at the palace gate spread throughout the palace.

Both young ladies of the Shi family were defeated by Nan Xingchen, which was a great shame for the Shi family.

……

Xuantian Palace.

King Xun of Chu was sitting on the dragon throne reviewing memorials when a black figure suddenly appeared. He was King Xun of Chu's secret guard. The figure leaned over and said a few words respectfully, then disappeared in a flash.

King Xun of Chu put down the memorial in his hand and a smile appeared on his lips.

The head of the imperial guards, Xue Quan, asked, "Your Majesty, have you encountered any happy events?"

Prince Xun of Chu smiled and said, "Just now at the gate of the palace, Shi Qian, the concubine of Shi Mansion, caused trouble, and Nan Xingchen defeated her."

Xue Quan was shocked: "She, she..."

Last time, this idiot drove the legitimate daughter of Shi family out of Prince Nan’s Mansion, and this time he beat up the illegitimate daughter of Shi family.

Moreover, at the gate of the palace, King Xun of Chu was not angry at all, but rather pleased. Isn't this abnormal?

"I admire Xingchen more and more. It's a pity that Mo Han is blind and broke off the engagement with her."

When talking about the engagement, King Xun of Chu sighed, his tone revealing disappointment.

Xue Quan recovered and asked, "Today is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Your Majesty, are you going?"

King Xun of Chu pointed at the memorial on the table and waved his hand, saying, "Go pick a gift and send it over."

Just as Xue Quan was about to leave, King Xun of Chu instructed him, "After the birthday banquet, remember to bring Nan Xingchen to see me."

"Subordinates take orders!"

……

In the original owner's memory, she seldom came to the palace, let alone attended any birthday banquets. She was cowardly and vulnerable, and was afraid of being despised and laughed at.

The palace is very large, with so many palaces. The Queen Mother lives in Shoukang Palace. If there is no special maid to lead the way.

It would certainly be difficult to find it with only Nan Xingchen and Gan Tang.

Gan Tang tilted his head and looked at Nan Xingchen, with little stars in his eyes: "Miss, you are really amazing. In the past, you were always bullied by the two sisters from Shi Mansion, but today you finally get to hold your head high."

Nan Xingchen smiled and said, "It's just a trivial trick. No problem."

Gan Tang took Nan Xingchen's arm and asked nervously, "Miss, are you really possessed by a monster?"

Nan Xingchen laughed and poked Gan Tang's forehead: "Silly girl, do you believe this?"

Gan Tang asked again: "What magic medicine did you take?"

Nan Xingchen blinked her big eyes and looked at her, and asked, "Do you have any? If you do, give a few to your young lady."

The doubts on Gan Tang's face disappeared, and she smiled and said, "Miss, you are teasing me again."

The peonies in the courtyard of Shoukang Palace are in full bloom, vying for beauty, splendor, and elegance.

In addition to peonies, there are also chrysanthemums, Michelia, green calyx, Lycoris radiata, snow lotus...

The maid who led the way said that the Queen Mother was still resting in the bedroom and would probably come only after everyone had arrived.

Nan Xingchen took Gan Tang and strolled around the yard to admire the flowers.

Nan Xingchen was wearing a red gauze dress, her long hair dancing in the wind, light and flowing. She had a faint smile on her lips, she was beautiful and extraordinary, pure as ice and jade, like a fairy in a painting.

Everyone at the banquet looked at him with envy.

After the envy, the look in his eyes when he looked at her became quite strange and complicated, mocking, disdainful, and contemptuous...

All kinds of explicit looks at her.

Nan Xingchen ignored those looks. As long as they didn't bully her blatantly, she wouldn't die if they looked at her a few times.

Just let them look at me.

About half a cup of tea passed.

Shi Zhi arrived late with her maid, and was whispering something with a maid in the palace! ?

Nan Xingchen was far away from Shi Zhi and the others. She glanced at them inadvertently. The two sisters had suffered such a great loss, they would definitely not let it go. She subconsciously remembered the maid's appearance.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

Suddenly, a loud shout was heard in the distance.

Nan Xingchen followed everyone out to greet them.

Nan Xingchen followed behind the crowd and bowed.

Gan Tang held Nan Xingchen's wrist and whispered, "Miss, I heard that the Queen Mother particularly likes Miss Shifu. If the Queen Mother asks you questions today, you must answer carefully to avoid getting into trouble."

"clear."

Nan Xingchen nodded in agreement. She patted Gan Tang's hand, signaling her not to be too nervous.

How could a woman who has lived in this palace for half her life be a fool?

As I recall, the Queen Mother liked Princess Chu He very much. Shi Zhi was good friends with Chu He, so the Queen Mother naturally thought highly of Shi Zhi.

A group of female relatives gathered behind the Queen Mother, admiring the flowers in the yard and praising her from head to toe.

Shi Zhi squeezed to the front of the crowd and said a lot of flattering words.

With Chu He on the side helping her and speaking in good terms, Shi Zhi naturally gained face in front of the Queen Mother.

After admiring the flowers for a while, the Queen Mother said she was a little tired, so everyone followed her to the main hall.

There were dozens of food tables in the main hall, filled with delicious food and wine.

Nan Xingchen didn't want to attract attention and wanted to find an inconspicuous corner to sit down, but a maid asked her to sit below the Queen Mother, where the food table was closest to the Queen Mother.

Sitting opposite her were Chu He and Shi Zhi.

Nan Xingchen sat down with a swagger, and everyone looked at her with strange eyes.

The Queen Mother sat on the phoenix chair in the main hall, wearing a gauze robe with a bright yellow peony flower and a phoenix white jade hairpin in her hair, looking graceful and elegant.

The Queen Mother had a gentle face and a smile on her face as she said, "Xingchen, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look so thin. You didn't even come to see me when you came to the palace that day. Why did you break off the engagement with Mo Han for no reason?"

Everyone's eyes turned towards Nan Xingchen, each with an expression as if they were waiting for a big show.

Seeing that Nan Xingchen had broken off her engagement with the second prince, there was no sadness on her face and she seemed to be dressed more gorgeously than before.

Nan Xingchen took a sip of wine, raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother, smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Queen Mother. I know I'm not worthy of the Second Prince. A noble man like the Second Prince should be worthy of Miss Shi."

She paused and continued, "That day, the Second Prince and Miss Shi were in the carriage. Everyone in Kyoto knew that they had secretly formed a love relationship. Miss Shi was not afraid of all kinds of rumors and boldly pursued happiness. This is something Xingchen will never be able to learn in several lifetimes. A gentleman helps others to achieve their goals. Although Xingchen is a young woman, she also wants to help others to achieve their goals. Xingchen does not want to be a stumbling block on their road to happiness."

After saying this, Nan Xingchen smiled self-deprecatingly, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes, he lowered his eyelids silently, and drank several glasses of wine.

Gan Tang, who was standing by, had no idea that her young lady was acting. She wiped away her tears, feeling sorry for her young lady.

When everyone heard this, they looked at Nan Xingchen and his servant, then looked at Shi Zhi, their eyes filled with contempt and disgust.

Shi Zhi's affair with the second prince was exposed in public. She wanted to defend herself, but her face turned red and she couldn't utter a word.

No matter how despicable Nan Xingchen was, she was engaged to the second prince at the time after all. Shi Zhi intervened and had an affair with her secretly, which was quite despicable.

Moreover, Shi Zhi often plays tricks, claiming to be Nan Xingchen's good sister, secretly seducing her younger sister's fiancé...

This? ? ?

How shameless.
