Concubine Agent: My lord, stop pretending

Chapter 28
When Concubine Rong heard that Ye Lingxue was going to sue, her arrogance was reduced by half, and she quickly explained: "I don't mean that, don't talk nonsense!"

Ye Lingxue looked at Concubine Rong coldly, glanced at her mother at the side, saw that she didn't respond, and hummed: "Is this princess talking nonsense, everyone has heard it, this princess never tells lies!"

"You..." Concubine Rong blushed so anxiously that she could only look at Concubine Chu, "Sister Chu..." She knew very well that if these words reached His Majesty's ears, she would never pass the test so easily.

Seeing this, Concubine Chu frowned slightly, glared at Concubine Rong, then smiled and said to Concubine Li: "Sister Concubine, Sister Rong has always been straightforward, and her words are a bit inappropriate. What do you think?"

Seeing that her name was tapped, Concubine Li slowly raised her head, her watery eyes swept over Concubine Rong, then looked at Ye Lingxue, and said calmly: "Xue'er, come and sit down soon."

Ye Lingxue snorted, leaned into Su Yan's ear and whispered something, then returned to Li Guifei's side.

Although Concubine Li's attitude made Concubine Chu look bad, but on the other hand, it also sold her face.

Concubine Chu is the oldest among the concubines present, presumably she was also the first to enter the palace, no wonder Concubine Rong asked her for help.

Su Yan watched coldly, probably getting a preliminary outline of the situation in the harem.

Concubine Rong looks arrogant on the surface, but in fact she has no heart. She wants to embarrass others, but she can't control the situation. She probably often shoots herself in the foot.But to have a place in the harem, besides having a prince, the family must also be an important factor.

Looking at Concubine Li, she is indifferent and self-contained. She seems to disdain to get involved in the harem battle, but she allows her child to talk back to a concubine. Is she really as indifferent as she appears on the surface?
And that Concubine Chu, at least in her 40s, is not outstanding compared to those young concubines.

"His Royal Highness is here—"

The palace man's voice interrupted Su Yan's thoughts, she immediately got up and saluted with everyone.

Ye Hao wore a golden python robe, noble and luxurious, no matter in appearance or temperament, he was considered a handsome and unrestrained man, but because of his bad first impression, Su Yan still had a deep dislike for this prince.

Ye Hao saw one of tonight's protagonists at a glance. He strode over and said with a smile, "Why are the younger brothers and sisters here alone? Where's the fourth brother?"

"Brother Prince, Fourth Brother is with me!" Su Yu was about to speak when Ye Huan's voice suddenly broke in, and Ye Jing followed behind him.

Su Yan held Ye Jing's hand, smiled at Ye Huan and said, "Thank you Fifth Prince."

"Fourth sister-in-law, please be polite. From now on, you will be the same as fourth brother, just call me by my name." Ye Huan smiled gently, with indescribable elegance, completely different from that Ye Hao, "Sit down."

"Okay." Su Yan looked down at the brocade cushion, and sat down with his knees bent.

She has been kneeling respectfully since someone came, and now she is going to kneel again, and she doesn't know when it will end, why not get a chair?Sitting on your knees is too tiring.

"Brother Jing!" Ye Lingxue saw that Ye Jing had arrived, moved Zhang Jin to sit next to him, and started talking to him.

Su Yan sat upright with no expression on his face, but in his heart he was thinking about the task assigned by the masked man.

Ye Huan thought she was nervous or not used to it, so he whispered: "Don't be too rigid, we are all family members, just be more casual."

"Yeah." Su Yan smiled and filled Ye Jing's cup with tea.Whoever is your own family, she is a counterfeit, even if it is real, she can't just kill her if she says she wants to.

Ye Hao's eyes were fixed on her all the time, from the moment he stepped into the hall, she didn't look at him directly, as if she didn't pay attention to him as a prince at all.On the contrary, it's really strange to keep turning around that fool.

Ye Hao glanced at Ye Jing, a gleam flashed in his handsome eyes, he got up and said, "The Japanese palace was not there when the fourth brother and his younger siblings got married. Brother, I have nothing to do to relieve my boredom."

"His Royal Highness is busy with government affairs, so you really care about it!" Concubine Rong interrupted with a smile, which drew the other concubines to agree.

Ye Hao clapped his hands, and four attendants walked up to the hall carrying a shelf, which was covered with a piece of red silk cloth.

Su Yan frowned, instinctively felt that Ye Hao was not so kind, but she couldn't refuse.

The attendant put down the things slowly, Ye Hao strode over, glanced at the curious crowd, smiled in satisfaction, lifted the red cloth, and a horse made of wood came into view.

"What a big horse!" Ye Jing exclaimed happily, stood up, Su Yan immediately stretched out his hand but still couldn't catch him, he could only watch him rush to the center of the hall.

Su Yan's face darkened immediately, and he looked at Ye Hao coldly.

Ye Hao glanced at Su Yan's expression, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to Ye Jing with a smile: "This wooden horse will go!"

"How to get there? Teach me quickly!" Ye Jing asked quickly, her eyes filled with excitement, like a child who got a strange toy and couldn't put it down.

Ye Hao helped Ye Jing onto the horse, and while pointing to the wooden stirrup under his feet, he said, "Just like riding a real horse, shake it and then step on the wooden stirrup, and you can move forward!"

"Fourth brother, let's go back to our seats first, okay?" Ye Huan immediately stepped forward to stop Ye Jing, with the same bad look on his face.

"No, I'm going to play now!" Ye Jing said and shook it according to the method Ye Hao taught, and sure enough the wooden horse was moving forward bit by bit, "Drive, drive!"

The people present were amused by Ye Jing's actions. It was not a simple laugh, it was full of ridicule and contempt.

Su Yan clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, his heart was full of anger, Ye Hao made it clear that he wanted to embarrass Ye Jing in front of others, but what could she do?

Suddenly thinking of Yunlou's mission, Su Yan got up and walked in front of Ye Hao, smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for the gift, His Royal Highness, the prince likes it very much."

Ye Hao was about to say that you are welcome, but she saw her leaning forward slightly, and whispered in his ear with a voice that only he could hear: "But on such an occasion, if it spreads, it may damage His Highness's wisdom. After all... the prince is His Highness' brother."

Ye Hao's complexion suddenly sank because of her words, his smug expression froze at the corners of his lips, and the gaze he stared at her also changed.

Su Yan smiled faintly, and turned to help Ye Jing: "Okay, the father will be here in a while, let's go back to our seats first."

It could be seen that Ye Jing loved the wooden horse very much, and after getting down reluctantly, she turned around every step of the way.

The atmosphere in the palace gradually changed, and everyone was guessing what the princess Jing had said to the prince, which made the prince's face change drastically.
