My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Then the drunk King Min asked drunkenly.

Who is it? Why did he fall into the water with Xiao Qi?

It's okay if he doesn't speak. If he does, the princess will wait for this opportunity and pretend to be embarrassed.

It's Miss Zhao, a beautiful girl who will be sent to the palace at the beginning of spring. Somehow, she bumped into the seventh brother and fell into trouble. However, the seventh brother said that the two of them are innocent, and I see the same thing. That’s what happened.”

Her words seemed to be very protective, but she even brushed off the name and the fact that she was going to enter the palace.

The playful look in the prince's eyes became more serious, while the fourth prince's face became more and more embarrassed.

Doesn't this clearly mean that the seventh brother wants to steal people from his father regardless of life and death?

Hearing this, the fourth prince couldn't stand still and immediately spoke up.

Seventh brother was drunk and told me to go to the deck to sober up. It was probably dark and exposed, so he didn't see Miss Zhao, so he bumped into her together. They are naturally innocent.

Fourth brother is right.

The Crown Princess didn't talk too much nonsense with him. Sometimes she would make too many mistakes and make people think wildly.

Sure enough, it was okay that he didn't speak, but at this moment everyone felt that he was trying to hide his words.

Under the moonlight.

Shang Ji was never interested in these royal affairs.

Rather than pursuing these matters here, he was more concerned about his grandmother and his wife Du Jingyi.

So, he looked sideways at them.

Du Jingyi also seemed to have a tacit understanding, so he smiled in Shang Ji's direction, indicating that he was fine. Seeing this, Shang Ji withdrew his gaze.

But by chance, I saw Mrs. Gu's aunt, Mrs. Xing, beside her. For some reason, I felt that there was a smile on her lips and eyes.

That smile was not like watching a good show, but rather showed the joy of success, but it was fleeting. If he hadn't been lucky, he wouldn't have been able to see this scene.

A burst of doubt arose in her heart, and she soon remembered the days when she and her cousin Xing Zhao went to the north. Before that, they went to the palace every day to accompany Queen Guo.

On the contrary, after entering the general's mansion, he basically stayed in the mansion and did not go out.

Could it be related to this matter?

But there has never been any discord between the Zhao family and the Xing family.

After this young lady from the Zhao family fell into trouble with the Seventh Prince, there were only two ways to go.

One was to protect the face of the Tian family, and Miss Zhao died to apologize. The other was to marry the seventh prince, but this would also destroy the seventh prince's favor in front of His Majesty.

Thinking of this, Shang Ji pondered and thought about asking again after he went back.

His expression was always cold, so no one noticed.

And with this incident of falling into the water, everyone's interest in swimming in the canal was almost disturbed.

The prince looked at the sky and said calmly.

Today something happened unexpectedly, let's dock first and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow.

yes.

After receiving the prince's order, the person in charge of the boat parade immediately arranged to dock.

Seeing the painted boat gradually approaching the shore, Cao Wei, the attendant just now, whispered something in the prince's ear.

Your Highness, the sound of the flute just now was played by Miss Zong.

Hearing this, the prince's eyes became more interested, and then he turned his eyes to Zong Li.

Zong Li obviously didn't expect to be favored by the prince, so he lowered his head a little shyly.

This scene did not cause any disturbance in the eyes of the Crown Princess. Instead, she spoke to the Crown Prince in a generous and decent manner.

I wonder if your Highness just heard the sound of Miss Zong's flute. It can be said that you have been wandering around for three days.

It's really good.

I remember that there is a Xiang jade cave flute in the East Palace, which is the most valuable. It is a famous instrument and a skillful craftsman. I want to give it to the lady of the Zong family. What do you think, Your Highness?

The Crown Princess spoke sincerely, and everyone present looked surprised.

There is both envy that Miss Zong has received the reward from the Crown Princess, and also jealousy that she will have a promising future.

The prince, on the other hand, looked at the princess with a chuckle and then said to her.

The Crown Princess has the final say.

After Zong Li heard this, if she still didn't understand, then she was stupid, so she quickly knelt down and said with fear.

My daughter thanks the prince and the princess for the reward.

Sister Zong, why should you be so polite? Get up.

The title suddenly changed from Miss Zongjia to Sister Zongjia, and everyone understood the meaning.

She was the only one in the Zong family who came today, so she was the only one who was excited.

But I am still excited, I still have to maintain the demeanor of a noble lady in front of everyone, and don't dare to do anything too prominent.

Not long after, the boat docked at the shore, and everyone respectfully sent the prince and princess off first, and then dispersed one after another.

The fourth prince ran towards where the seventh prince was with a sullen look on his face, obviously intending to raise an army to hold him accountable.

Everyone saw this and did not dare to come forward to join in the fun. It was not a good thing to know too much about royal affairs.

So, they all went home.

Zong Li glanced at the prince's back as he left. There was some inexplicable heat and shyness in his eyes. This trip was so worth it.

Although the prince did not make any substantive statement, the princess's meaning was very obvious.

Xiangyu cave flute, I'm afraid there will be other things sent along with it.

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and her whole body was filled with a sense of joy, while others also smiled and came forward and said with envy.

It's the sister of the Zong family who has the ability to catch the eye of the prince so quickly.

No one expected that this girl from the Zong family, who was not very prominent on weekdays, would benefit from the royal palace order. Therefore, they were envious, and felt very jealous in their hearts.

Zong Li is not stupid, he should keep a low profile at this time.

So, he said to everyone with a decent smile.

It's just a coincidence. It's a good night today, which makes the sound of the cave flute a little more melodious. Besides, the Xiangyu cave flute was rewarded by the Crown Princess. If anyone can win the favor, it must be the Crown Princess. .”

Everything has not yet come to an end. She will not brand herself as a member of the East Palace early. Otherwise, wouldn't it be ridiculous if she becomes famous in the future?

Everyone also understood what she was thinking, so they just gathered around and talked about other things.

Zong Li was unprepared, and when he turned around again, he was startled by the cold eyes of Wei Jialian who had just been released.

Feeling slightly guilty, he asked.

Have you sobered up Jialian's wine? Do you want me to take you home?

Wei Jialian looked at Zong Li, wishing to eat human flesh and drink human blood. She said with an expression of unwillingness and a smile on her face.

I don't dare bother my sister from the Zong family anymore.

With a cold snort, he got off the boat, minding his own business, and anyone with eyes could see the anger in his back.
