The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

Now it was Concubine Xia's turn to turn pale.

How dare she let the Seventh Prince and others see these two pots of dead flowers? Besides, her provocation just now failed, and she also offended the Qin family and the Nangong family.

If the provocation just now was successful, it would just be a funny thing.

Although they all knew that she was provoking them, they could only accept the amusement and finally had to praise the two pots of flowers for being beautiful.

But now the person has been offended and the matter has gotten out of hand.

Concubine Xia could only stop Prince Ning with a pale face and said:

"Third sister-in-law, I really don't know why the two pots of flowers died, but they were in good condition when they were delivered. It's my fault for not doing things properly, so there's no need to deliver them to the front yard. I'll apologize to you later."

Although she was only a concubine, she was at least listed in the royal jade record.

It is only appropriate to call the Third Princess the Third Sister-in-law.

But now the Third Princess did not want to discuss marriage with her. She just said coldly:

"Then send someone to invite the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince?"

After saying this, he turned to the other guests and said:

"Everyone, I originally invited you to come and enjoy the flowers today. But don't worry, this princess has prepared a flower banquet, and there will be flowers for everyone to enjoy. Jing'er, take the ladies and young ladies to the courtyard to enjoy the flowers."

The other ladies all stood up sensibly. They really couldn't get involved in this matter.

The Third Prince and the Seventh Prince are both the current emperor's uncles. One is low-key, the other is arrogant, and neither can be offended.

But some people still didn't move, such as Xie Qingrou and Gu Ruoxi.

Old Madam Qin opposite did not move either. Since she did not move, the people from Duke Qin's Mansion that she brought with her naturally did not move either.

The ones who are a little embarrassed are Old Huang and Young Huang from the Ningyuanhou family. If they take action, it involves some of their own affairs. If they don't move, they really don't want to get involved in this matter.

If the covered shit is turned over again, it will stink very badly.

After thinking for a while, Old Mrs. Huang stood up tremblingly. Young Mrs. Huang went forward in panic to support her mother. She glanced at her daughter Gu Ruolan, then glanced at Gu Ruoxi, and quietly helped her mother-in-law out of the room.

Another person who was embarrassed was the wife of the Earl of Anyuan.

Lady Anyuan was struggling at this moment as to whether or not she should acknowledge the matter on behalf of Concubine Xia.

If they admitted it, the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion would have to accept double heavy punishment from the Third Prince's Mansion and the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

If she didn't acknowledge her, Concubine Xia would fall, and their family would not be in a good situation. Moreover, there was a mother-in-law at home. If she knew that she didn't acknowledge and protect Concubine Xia, she would not be the living Lady of Anyuan anymore.

And even if he admitted it, it would be confirmed that he was trying to provoke the Third Prince's Palace, and that would be a big deal.

The wife of the Marquis of Anyuan is not stupid. Whether she admits this matter or not, it will not be good. It depends on how big the matter becomes.

No matter what, if the Third Princess can't get over this matter, it will be difficult to get over it.

Lady Anyuan stared at Concubine Xia anxiously, wanting to get her instructions on whether she should take the blame herself.

Concubine Xia asked the Third Prince's wife for help, but the Third Prince's wife said that she wanted the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince to come and see. In other words, even if the case was not brought to the outer courtyard, the two princes had to handle the matter.

If the incident reaches the outer courtyard, then the matter may have to be formalized and handled in the inner courtyard as a family affair.

The Third Princess was giving face to Concubine Xia. But Concubine Xia looked very unhappy.

She dared to be so bold because she never touched the bottom line of the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince’s bottom line is that you can use your status to act in a domineering manner, but you cannot make things out of control.

As long as it is within your control, it is okay to let people know that you are the Seventh Prince's concubine.

This is also the reason why Concubine Xia is ostentatious but not out of line.

But now this matter has happened unexpectedly.

Concubine Xia felt the gaze of Lady Anyuan, and she just looked back.

She is not stupid since she has been the Seventh Prince's concubine for several years.

This matter cannot be left to Anyuan Marquis's Mansion. It was just my own mischief.

As long as Anyuan Marquis's Mansion was there, she would not face the worst outcome. This was her confidence.

So, in the end, the third princess and her daughter, Xie Qingrou and her mother-in-law, Old Madam Qin, Hua Chuying and Gu Ruolan were left in the main hall, as well as Concubine Xia standing in the hall and the wife of the Marquis of Anyuan behind her.

The wife of the Marquis of Anyuan did not leave, but chose to stay and help.

Prince Ning and Ouyang Hong followed the other ladies out. They were going to invite the Seventh Prince and the Third Prince.

Xie Qingrou looked at Gu Ruoxi, who was still calm and had no other expression.

She was the only one in the audience who knew why the two pots of flowers died.

But she really didn't expect this effect.

She was just angry at Concubine Xia's aggressive attitude, so she forcibly sucked all the spiritual energy out of the two pots of flowers.

She planned to force herself to uncover it, and then she would reveal a withered flower to them, which would make them angry to death.

She also specifically gave He An and the others a reminder so that they could be mentally prepared.

But she didn't expect that the significance of sending withered flowers was greater than the consequences she imagined. She didn't expect that Concubine Xia would be so scared when she saw the withered flowers.

So, she was secretly happy but did not show any surprise on her face.

Did not expect ah did not expect.

What she didn't expect was that it was Jiuhuan who spread the news.

Jiu Huan, who had been standing behind her, had no idea that it was Gu Ruoxi who caused the flower to wither. She only followed Nangong Yu's instructions and spread the news when she saw that Concubine Xia insisted on bullying Gu Ruoxi.

It is not convenient for Nangong Yu to enter the inner house, but it is convenient for Prince Ning.

Nangong Yu sent a message to Prince Ning, saying that the Seventh Prince's concubine was causing trouble for the Third Prince's wife in the back hall, and it seemed that she had sent two pots of strange flowers.

Therefore, Prince Ning used the excuse of bringing Ouyang Hong in to pay respects to his mother. After walking around the flowers, he looked carefully and naturally realized that they were dead flower stems.

Then I stepped on it and found it was indeed a withered flower!

That's how things got out of hand.

Concubine Xia was as ostentatious when she came as she is now as fearful.

But she, who has always been outspoken, saw that things had come to this point, so she stood aside and began to think about how to protect herself.

There are many guests today. There will be as many gentlemen in the outer courtyard as there are ladies in the inner courtyard.

However, people of the status of the old Duke Qin did not come.

The Third Prince brought his two sons to the outer courtyard today to receive the foreign guests.

But in fact, the only ones who could be received personally by the Third Prince were a few important ministers or marquises.

Ordinary officials were received by Crown Prince Liang Xuanwen and Ning County Prince Liang Xuancheng.

However, not long after the reception, the prince was not feeling well, so he took Nangong Yu and Xie Zixuan into a small study room behind the study and never came out again.

Prince Ning was fed up with those adults, and in the end, these adults were received by the Third Prince's steward and a chief eunuch.

Now seeing Prince Ning coming out of the back house angrily with Ouyang Hong, no one knew what had happened.
