Sure enough, Xiao Jingchen, who was already ready to leave, turned back after hearing these words, looked at Mu Qiulan with interest, and sneered: "How dare you plead for others when you can't even protect yourself?"

"My maid is doing this for the sake of the prince's reputation," Mu Qiulan said.

Xiao Jingchen didn't expect that the timid and cry-loving ugly girl would have some courage in order to save the little boy named Zhuang.

"I would like to hear how you think about my reputation."

Mu Qiulan continued: "'If you decorate Princess Shouyang's forehead, the six palaces will be willing to learn the plum makeup.' Back then, Princess Shouyang's plum blossoms fell on her forehead, so the plum blossom makeup became a makeup that the harem and even the people were trying to imitate."

"Coincidentally, one day when the Holy One was painting Concubine Jing's eyebrows, he accidentally made the original thin eyebrows twice as thick as usual. Concubine Jing blamed the Holy One for teasing her and wiped them with a handkerchief.

I never thought that this thick eyebrow would have a hazy beauty, as dreamlike as the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. So the Holy One named it "Misty Eyebrow", and for a while, the misty eyebrow became popular throughout the banquet.

, this incident also became a good story.”

After hearing this, Xiao Jingchen said: "So what?"

"My maid wants to say that throughout the ages, there are many items named after people, such as Dukang wine, Luban Suo, Zhuge Nu, Dongpo scarf... The prince likes to wear a forehead mop, and the people rush to imitate it. This forehead mop is named King Qi.

There is nothing wrong with your name. If the prince wants to deal with this trivial matter through military law, it will be a disgrace to your name of mercy."

Mu Qiulan minimized the matter with just a few words, and even flattered Xiao Jingchen, comparing him to celebrities. Zhuang Wan really wanted to give the heroine a hundred likes at this moment. In exchange for these words,

No one can help but her!

After all, the male protagonist only listens to the female protagonist.

Xiao Jingchen is no exception. Although he still maintains his airs on the outside, he is already convinced in his heart.

"The Shangshu Mansion is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon! Even a little maid can speak these truths in a clear and logical manner!"

He glanced at Zhuang Wan and said, "Since you plead for this boy, I will graciously let him go."

Mu Qiulan: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhuang Wan quickly thanked him: "Thank you, His Highness King Qi, for your kindness!"

Xiao Jingchen glanced at the forehead wiper on the table and ordered: "From today on, this thing can no longer be circulated in the market, otherwise... it will be executed without mercy!"

After saying that, he rolled his sleeves and turned around.

"What are you still doing there? Do you want me to take you back in person?"

This was obviously about Mu Qiulan, so she quickly followed.

Rong Li glanced at Mu Qiulan, who looked weak on the outside, and didn't expect that this ugly girl was actually capable. No one had ever been able to save the life of the eloquent Prince Qi.

Zhuang Wan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the three people disappearing into the alleyway, and Chen Wujin asked: "Then are we still doing this business?"

"Let it go for now!" Zhuang Wan said, "King Qi has given the order, but I don't dare to commit a crime against his will."

She ordered: "Pay your wages to them and let them all go!"

The road to getting rich through business is now dead.

Mu Qiulan followed the carriage carefully. At this moment, she felt faintly afraid. As a maid, her words just now were indeed a bit disrespectful. Xiao Jingchen would not be able to get angry in front of so many people, and he would probably settle the scores later.

While she was feeling sad, the carriage stopped. Rong Li lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and said to her: "The weather is hot. Your Highness is considerate and asked the girl to get on the carriage and wait on her."

Mu Qiulan hesitantly got on the carriage. The carriage was spacious and there was an ice book on it, so it was very cool.

Rong Li cupped his hands outside the car and said, "Your Highness, Rong Li goes first."

Xiao Jingchen said "Yeah" and the carriage continued to move forward.

Mu Qiulan could only bend her body because of the short carriage, and was almost unsteady when the carriage was moving.

Xiao Jingchen glanced at her, who was slightly embarrassed: "What? You were eloquent just now, but now you are silent."

Mu Qiulan knelt directly on the soft blanket. Her waist was really sore.

"My maid made a careless statement just now. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"You also know that what you said was careless?" Xiao Jingchen said coldly: "A little maid dares to contradict me! Who gave you the courage?"

"My maid... My maid is just telling the truth, and I don't mean any disrespect!"

"What a show of truth!" Xiao Jingchen sneered: "Then tell me, what will happen if the forehead wiping in the name of King Qi becomes popular throughout Dayan?"

Mu Qiulan said: "Of course the whole country knows the prince's reputation."

Xiao Jingchen chuckled disdainfully, "Since you are familiar with so many allusions, you know that the traitor Huang Chao has a poem: 'When autumn comes on September 8th, I will bloom and then the flowers will bloom. The incense array will penetrate Chang'an, and the whole city will be covered with golden armor.'

, this chrysanthemum can be regarded as a soldier's armor... How do you think the king will explain the purpose of the whole country wearing Qi Wang's forehead, and what will he use to stop everyone from talking? "

Mu Qiulan's expression suddenly changed, "Your Majesty, I am aware that this maid is just being quick-talking and has absolutely no other thoughts."

"You know it right away." Xiao Jingchen said coldly: "Tell me! Who ordered you?"

Mu Qiulan was indeed frightened, and did not expect that her nosy meddling would cause trouble. In this way, she did feel that it was suspicious for Zhuang Wan to disguise herself as a man and sneak into the military camp. Should she tell Xiao Jingchen her identity?

"Your Majesty, I am just a little maidservant. Everything I say and do is subject to the orders of my master. The purpose of keeping me in Prince Qi's Mansion is to let me find out whether the Prince has another woman. Although this move is not upright.

, but it also stems from the young lady’s infatuation for the prince, and she has no intention of harming him. If someone is instigating this matter, why bother to find an ugly person like the maidservant to approach the prince? You should find a stunning beauty."

"Maybe some people want to do the opposite!" Xiao Jingchen said: "You are ugly, so you will not be suspected by others, and I will not be wary of you."

Mu Qiulan retorted: "Since the first meeting, the prince has been on guard against his maid!"

Xiao Jingchen: "..."

"My only wish in this life is to get rid of my slave status and take my aunt back to my hometown to retire. If the prince thinks who sent this servant to harm you, just take my life! I just beg the prince, don't do it.

The maid’s aunt is implicated.”

She did not expose Zhuang Wan's disguise as a man. Her intuition told her that the girl who had saved her was not a bad person.

When Xiao Jingchen saw that she was neither humble nor overbearing, and spoke sincerely, his doubts disappeared a bit. In fact, he had already sent someone to find out all about Mu Qiulan. The aunt and nephew depended on each other, and worked as slaves in the Shangshu Mansion, doing menial work.

, life was not going well. And because Mu Qiulan was as ugly as a weed on the roadside, no one noticed her. Such a person with almost no sense of existence and no use value could not become someone else's pawn.

"Okay, get up!" Xiao Jingchen looked relaxed, "I will find out about this."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mu Qiulan wanted to get up, but it was too difficult to straighten up in the carriage, and she couldn't sit with Xiao Jingchen, so she continued to kneel.

"Come and sit!" Xiao Jingchen patted the seat next to him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
