Chapter 175 Everyone has their own plans
Outside the house, everyone was still kneeling on the ground, not daring to breathe.
When they saw the woman's face, they all showed contempt.
Yao Jia snorted in her heart, it was indeed her.
The two men knelt before the emperor.
Xiao Fengli kowtowed heavily to the emperor, "Father, this is all my fault. I hope you won't blame Miss Jiang. I am willing to take responsibility."
When these words were spoken, not only did the emperor show approval, but everyone else also praised Prince Ping for being a gentleman, magnanimous, and considering Jiang Sirong's reputation.
Yao Jia frowned. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that this matter was abnormal and weird.
The emperor nodded slightly, "Yes, he is a responsible person."
But when he looked at Jiang Sirong, his brows knitted tightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Since Prince Ping is willing to take responsibility, then I will fulfill your wish and choose a day for you to get married."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Sirong's face showed joy and she leaned over and kowtowed to the emperor.
But he was stunned by the emperor's next words.
"As for the position of principal wife, don't even consider it. Just be a concubine to Prince Ping."
Concubine?
Jiang Sirong's body stiffened, and she slowly looked up at the emperor, her eyes full of disbelief.
She is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's family, her aunt is the Queen, and she was born to be a phoenix, yet she has to be someone else's concubine?
Xiao Fengli pursed his lips and spoke.
"Father, Sirong was born in a duke's mansion. How can she be my son's concubine?"
The emperor's face darkened and he looked at him unhappily.
"What, you don't want to?"
Xiao Fengli leaned over quickly.
"I dare not, but I feel that this is really unfair to Miss Jiang."
The emperor's expression looked better then. He helped him up and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Feeling wronged? She used drugs to seduce you and hurt your body. She could do such dirty things, and yet she still dreamed of becoming the principal wife. Is she worthy of the position?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fengli did not refute.
Jiang Sirong's face was pale and her body was shaking.
But I adjusted myself quickly and thought that as long as I wasn't dead, there was hope.
As long as she marries Xiao Fengli, her aunt and father will find a way to make her the principal wife.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face again and he kowtowed to the emperor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help."
The emperor snorted coldly and waved at everyone.
"I am tired, I will go to Yongshou Palace."
After everyone respectfully saw the emperor off, they all congratulated Jiang Sirong.
Yao Jia stood aside, looking at the hypocritical faces of the crowd and sneered in her heart.
If Jiang Sirong had done what she did today, it would have been a sure death.
She happened to meet Xiao Fengli, and not only did she save her life, but she also got the position of a concubine.
Could it be that Xiao Fengli really didn't know about this?
If he really had no idea, how could he have taken advantage of the situation and made a big deal out of it, even bringing it to the emperor?
Yao Jia narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Fengli with a curious look.
Xiao Fengli felt Yao Jia's gaze, turned around, and saw that she was looking at him, and smiled slightly.
Yao Jia rolled her eyes at him, walked up to him and reached out to him.
"Give me back my whisk!"
Xiao Fengli then took out the whisk from his sleeve and handed it to Yao Jia with both hands.
"I am truly sorry that this incident has implicated the Pavilion Master for no reason."
Yao Jia took the whisk and glanced at Jiang Sirong beside him with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Congratulations, Prince Ping, and Miss Jiang."
"Thank you, Pavilion Master."
When Jiang Sirong saw Fuchen, she remembered the disappointed expression on Xiao Fengli's face when he saw her after he first entered the room. Although his expression disappeared quickly, she saw it clearly.
She couldn't help feeling resentful towards Yao Jia. She snorted coldly, snuggled in Xiao Fengli's arms, and raised her eyebrows at Yao Jia.
Yao Jia looked at her black forehead, turned away with disgust, and ignored her provocation to avoid being contaminated by bad luck.
Look at Jiang Changyu.
"Master Jiang, your sister's behavior today really made me very angry."
Jiang Changyu lowered his head and looked at the whisk in Yao Jia's hand.
He cursed Jiang Sirong in his heart for being stupid. Why did she look for Yao Jia's things to lure King Ping here?
To offend her would be to offend the entire Tianxing Pavilion. How could he have such a sister who disregards the family's reputation?
He sighed deeply, bowed to Yao Jia, and spoke respectfully.
"I know. I will prepare a generous gift and personally deliver it to Nangong Mansion to apologize to the Pavilion Master."
Yao Jia curled her lips into a smile, said nothing more, shook the whisk in her hand, turned around, glanced at Xiao Fengyi, and walked away.
He tightened the whisk in his hand and admired Xiao Fengli's strategy in his heart.
This ability to survive in desperate situations not only earned him a good reputation, but also made the emperor value him more.
Killing two birds with one stone, he is worthy of being the new emperor in the previous life, he is indeed very cunning.
I don’t know if Xiao Fengyi can defeat him.
Before reaching the banquet hall, I saw two white shadows walking towards this side with their backs to the light.
The same white clothes are as white as snow, with outstanding temperament, just like a banished immortal.
Yao Jia looked at the two people with similar figures and temperaments, and her heart moved slightly.
If it weren't for the different hair colors, one with a handsome face and the other wearing a mask, she would have confused the two.
When Nangong Xiu Lan saw Yao Jia, he nodded slightly towards Nanshan, and then walked quickly towards her.
"I just went to An He's place to pick you up. She said you came out early in the morning. Why didn't you come to find me?"
"I'm just afraid they'll force me to drink again."
Nangong Xiu Lan burst out laughing. Today's banquet was a real miscalculation. If he had known, he would have taken Yao Jia away after the ceremony of coming of age.
Not only was she forced to drink a lot of alcohol, she was almost drunk by her uncles.
"How do you feel now? Are you still awake?"
Yao Jia shook her head, "My eyelids are very heavy, I want to go back to sleep."
Nangong Xiu Lan looked at Yao Jia lovingly, and was about to say something when he saw a large group of people coming out of the dormitory.
When passing by the two of them, they all bowed to Yao Jia and said, "Master, please forgive me."
Yao Jia waved her hand, indicating that she wouldn't care.
Nangong Xiu Lan was a little confused and asked Yao Jia what happened, but Yao Jia dragged him towards the palace gate.
When passing by Nanshan, we just said hello briefly.
Nanshan stood where he was and watched the two of them leave.
"The beauty has gone far away, sir, please don't look at her anymore."
Xiao Fengyi's teasing voice came from behind him.
Nanshan turned around and faced the man behind him.
"Your Majesty, have you finished watching the show?"
Xiao Fengyi smiled and said, "Sir, you are indeed very smart. He did as you said and asked to marry my cousin in person."
"In this case, will Your Majesty agree to cooperate with me?"
"Of course I agree." Xiao Fengyi walked up to him and stared at the eyes under his smiling mask.
After Yao Jia's coming-of-age ceremony, Nanshan found him with the jade bone fan, said he wanted to cooperate with him, and said that there would be a big show in the dormitory today.
If the drama develops as Nanshan expected, he will cooperate with Nanshan.
"What are your conditions, sir?"
He didn't believe that this man would help him unconditionally. What men want is nothing more than status, position, money or women.
"I want someone, someone that can only be given to me if Your Highness ascends the throne."
Sure enough, Xiao Fengyi narrowed his eyes slightly, curled his lips and smiled, "Okay, I promise sir."
After Yao Jia returned home, she simply washed up and threw herself on the bed and fell asleep.
Three or four hours later, the man slowly woke up.
Huaichuan brought dinner and seemed to be hesitant to speak to her at the table.
When he was about to speak to Yao Jia for the tenth time and swallowed it again, Yao Jia finally put down her chopsticks with a "pop".
"If you have something to say, just say it. Then let's eat. Why are you hesitating and stammering?"
Huaichuan then said shyly, "Yaoyao said that after inheriting the position of Pavilion Master, she would accompany me back to the Shadow Guard Camp to get the antidote. Do you still keep your word?"
Yao Jia blinked, her mind racing, it seemed as if she had actually promised Huaichuan this.
I was only concerned with coaxing him at the time, and now I'm giving up the position just after I inherited it. Isn't that a bit too much?
But since I have already promised Huaichuan, I can't go back on my word. I have to think of a foolproof plan before I can leave.
"How about this, Huaichuan? Can you give me a few days to prepare?"
Huaichuan nodded quickly, "Okay, okay."
As long as Yao Jia agreed, it would be fine. He could bear to wait a few more days.
As if he thought of something, Huaichuan glanced at the sky and told Yaojia that when she was resting, Prince Le secretly came to the mansion to look for her and asked her to go to Xingchen Mountain, saying that he had something important to tell her.
"What time is it now?"
"It is past six quarters past midnight."
