Jiaochu

Chapter 17: Golden branches and jade leaves make trouble in school ([-])
With Concubine Xiao's lesson learned, Ye Lingxi had to be careful, but she couldn't just go to her father and say that her second brother was not his biological child. Those who didn't know thought she had gone insane at a young age. Suddenly, She had an idea and stared at Ye Xingye motionlessly with her big eyes.

"Lingxi, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Ye Xingye was stared at and inexplicably nervous, unable to speak clearly. He raised his hand and touched his face randomly.

Ye Lingxi nodded to himself, very satisfied with Ye Xingye's pair of thick black sword eyebrows that resembled Ye Lanchen.She had also met Ye Xingye's mother-in-law Rong Fei before, and she was very virtuous and dignified.

This empress does not put much emphasis on makeup, she dresses appropriately and elegantly, her family rules are strict, and she does not behave in any frivolous manner. For such a lady who attaches great importance to etiquette and rules, even saying a word is regarded as a violation, and even more so Wouldn't do such a heinous thing.

Another night, Qingran, although the biological mother has passed away, the rules of the palace are strict, and a little concubine has no one to rely on. How can she have the courage to commit such a heinous crime? What's more, this biological mother is naturally weak, cautious, and full of worries. Ye Lanchen regarded him as a god, so how could she betray him?

Yan Fei and Su Shi didn't know what Ye Lingxi was thinking, and thought she was teasing Ye Xingye intentionally. It was harmless and did not reveal anything.

Ye Lingxi nodded and then concentrated on eating. When Ye Xingye saw her nodding, he thought there was really something dirty on his face and quickly asked Yan Fei opposite to help him take a look. Seeing Yan Fei also nodded, he hurriedly asked someone to get water to wash his face. , Su Shi kindly reminded him that there was no dirt on his face, but Ye Xingye didn't believe it, so he asked someone to fetch water and rub his face vigorously with a towel several times. After confirming with Ye Lingxi again, he felt free to eat.

After lunch, everyone returned to the study one after another.

When Ye Lingxi and his party came in, they saw many people gathered around her seat, as if they were watching something strange. She walked over and saw that the inkstone had been knocked over, and ink was splashed all over the table. Most of the snow-white paper was stained with ink, making it impossible to write on.

Zhao Ce and Rong Jue happened to come over to see the excitement. Seeing Ye Lingxi suffer a loss, Zhao Ce was the first to clapped his hands and laughed.

"What did you do?"

Yan Fei's cold eyes were like ice knives, and the sharp pressure made Zhao Ce lose his arrogance. Seeing that everyone around him also doubted himself, Zhao Ce's face suddenly darkened.

"What are you looking at? Get away!" Zhao Ce roared angrily, and the people watching the excitement dispersed immediately.

"Wipe clean."

Yan Fei stopped in front of Zhao Ce and glanced at the desk stained black with ink.

Zhao Ce was so angry that he gritted his teeth, still remembering the loss he suffered last time, and knowing that he was no match for Yan Fei. Suddenly, he suddenly became enlightened, pointed at Yan Fei and Ye Lingxi and shouted: "I know, it was you two who worked together to frame me. .”

Su Shi said: "Princess and Xiao Yan have been eating in the back hall and never left during the meal. Both the Third Highness and Shi can testify."

Ye Xingye patted his chest and promised: "I can testify that I will stick to my word and will never favor anyone."

"Prince Cai has been eating with us all the time and never left in the middle. All of us can testify." Rong Jue winked at Chen Ping and Jin Yao behind him, and the two of them testified one after another, especially Jin Yao and eight others. At the age of nine, he has a lively and active temperament like a little tiger. He has always regarded Zhao Ce as his eldest brother. He is also sharp-tongued and can yell a lot of things, even using words such as bullying.

Rong Jue was feeling proud after hearing this in his heart, with a snicker on his face. Unexpectedly, he suddenly met Ye Lingjue's gaze. Those peach blossom eyes usually seemed to have a somewhat melancholy and lonely temperament, but at this moment, Rong Jue was really frightened. A chill ran down my spine. Those dark pupils were deep and cold, like a whirlpool with no bottom at a glance, dangerous and cold.

Being swept away by such a sight, Rong Jue lowered his head guiltily and did not dare to raise it. His heart was pounding and he did not even dare to take a breath.
