Chapter 328: The Upbringing of a Noble Lady

Chu Hongyi is pregnant?

Everyone turned to look at Chu Hongyi in surprise, and the atmosphere became subtle for a while. It was indeed immoral for an unmarried woman to be pregnant.

But most of the young men and ladies present were from prominent families, and their upbringing and rules were very strict. Today was the first time they met Princess Feng. No one spoke for a while, but their eyes were already revealing some incredible colors.

Chu Xuanyi frowned slightly. Hongyi is pregnant?

Nan Xi looked at Ji Wan'er and said in a light tone: "How do you know that General Chu is pregnant?"

Ji Wan'er paused: "I..."

Nan Xi stroked her abdomen gently, looking at Ji Wan'er calmly: "My belly is more than five months, you can see that I am pregnant at a glance, but you said that General Chu is pregnant, how can you see it from where?"

Ji Wan'er hesitated for a moment, turned her head and looked at Fang Lanyi.

Seeing her like this, everyone's eyes could not help but drift to Fang Lanyi.

"What are you looking at Miss Fang for?" Nan Xi said calmly, "Did Miss Fang tell you?"

Fang Lanyi's face changed slightly, and she unconsciously tightened the handkerchief in her hand, obviously not expecting to face such an interrogation.

Ji Wan'er's expression changed again and again, and she was a little incoherent: "The point is not who told me, but... but Chu Hongyi did something immoral..."

"No." Nan Xi smiled faintly, but her eyebrows revealed a cold and majestic look, "How did you know about this matter? It is very important. This palace must find out, because it is related to a woman's reputation and upbringing."

Her gentle and tough attitude obviously surprised everyone present.

Xie Jin, Mo Ling'an and Chu Nanyi were all secretly looking at this woman who was protected by their master like a treasure, and the other Xuanyuan royal family princes, princesses and noble sons who also met for the first time also looked at Nan Xi calmly.

There was deep thought, curiosity, surprise, and amazement in everyone's eyes. Nan Xi pretended not to notice all kinds of emotions. Even Rong Yu beside her did not react to everyone's gaze.

Princess Feng held a flower-viewing banquet for the first time, just to get to know the nobles and ladies of the major families. It was expected that everyone was curious about her. Only by observing her can they make judgments. With judgments, they will know what kind of temperament and temper this Princess Feng has.

Ji Wan'er was obviously a little nervous: "I..."

"Why does your highness keep questioning Miss Ji?" Su Hanyu raised his eyebrows, "I think it is not a graceful thing for Prince Qi to attack a weak girl. Your highness should let Prince Qi apologize to Miss Ji first. As for whether what Miss Ji said is true, let the imperial physician come to check her pulse and we will know?"

What he said sounded reasonable.

Several women nearby nodded in agreement: "Yes, what Mr. Su said makes sense. As long as the imperial physician confirms that General Chu is really pregnant, then Miss Ji is not abusing General Chu for no reason, and Prince Qi has no legitimate reason to take action. He should apologize to Miss Ji."

"That's right, this is the only way to convince people with reason."

"If Miss Ji wronged General Chu, then the imperial physician can also restore General Chu's innocence after taking his pulse. If Miss Ji's nonsense ruined General Chu's reputation, she should also apologize to Prince Qi and General Chu. In this way, Prince Qi can forget about the impulsive action."

Nan Xi had a calm expression and a calm demeanor. She listened to everyone talking, but did not express her opinion. She only looked at Ji Wan'er: "I still want to know, how did you judge that General Chu was pregnant? Could it be that you are a doctor and can see General Chu's physical condition at a glance?"

Everyone was surprised and looked at Nan Xi.

What does this Princess Feng mean?

If she is pregnant or not, wouldn't it be known if we summon the imperial physician to check her pulse? Why do we have to ask her to the end?

"I..."

Ji Wan'er looked at Fang Lanyi again, obviously asking for help from Fang Lanyi.

Noticing the looks cast on her, Fang Lanyi suppressed her panic and whispered, "I told her."

Everyone was shocked.

The gentle and dignified girl from the Fang family would actually talk about others in private?

Nan Xi said, "How did Miss Fang know?"

Fang Lanyi bit her lip and her voice became lower: "I...I accidentally saw that General Chu seemed to be unwell, like a woman's nausea and vomiting reaction..."

"So you are shouting everywhere that General Chu is pregnant before marriage?" Nan Xi said in a light tone, "Is this the upbringing of your Zhenguo Mansion, or are all the noble ladies of Dongling so big-mouthed, just afraid that the world will not be in chaos?"

As soon as these words came out, the air suddenly became quiet.

Fang Lanyi's face turned pale, and she looked up at Nan Xi in disbelief: "Your Highness."

"How can Princess Feng speak like that?" Fang Zhenzhen frowned and spoke unkindly, "Although Princess Feng has lived in Da Zhou for many years and has no sense of identity with Dongling, she should not have such prejudice against the noble lady of Dongling as soon as she came back-"

"How dare you!" Nan Xi's Aunt Xu looked at her coldly, "Are you blaming Your Highness now?"

Fang Zhenzhen's face changed, and she knelt down quickly, lowering her eyebrows and said: "I dare not, please forgive me, Your Highness."

"Miss Fang, do you think my words have wronged you?" Nan Xi ignored her, and her usually calm and gentle eyes fell on Fang Lanyi's face, "Are you a doctor?"

Fang Lanyi was speechless: "I..."

"If you are not a doctor, how can you conclude that General Chu is pregnant just from her little discomfort?"

The color on Fang Lanyi's face faded. She could not stand Nan Xi's relentless questioning. She lowered her head and knelt down, her eyes slightly red: "I know I am wrong."

"You should admit your mistake." Nan Xi glanced at her coldly, then slowly raised her eyes and looked at the noble ladies in front of her who were silent. "So do you think I am wronging you, or do you have prejudice against the noble ladies of Dongling? I believe everyone present knows how important a daughter's reputation is. But you can judge that a woman is pregnant just from a small detail that you are not sure of, and announce it to the world in fear of chaos. Is this the upbringing of you noble ladies of Dongling?"

Fang Zhenzhen's face was hot: "She alone cannot represent all the noble ladies of Dongling."

"One person?" Nan Xi smiled lightly, "Obviously there are two."

Fang Zhenzhen reacted instantly. In addition to Fang Lanyi, there is also Ji Wan'er.

Although Ji Wan'er was convinced that Chu Hongyi was pregnant before marriage after listening to Fang Lanyi's words, she was indeed uneducated to abuse Chu Hongyi when she was not sure.

These two people have extraordinary family backgrounds, and they are both legitimate daughters.

Fang Zhenzhen was speechless for a moment.

One person cannot represent all, and two people cannot represent all, but there are only so many noble ladies coming today. It is not a good thing to leave such an impression on Princess Feng when they first met.
