As for the birthday ceremony at Prince An's Mansion, it was very standard and followed the rules completely. It was neither eye-catching nor wrong.
Wu Zechen and Xia Luotong didn't mean to put any thought into it. After all, even if their thoughts were used on the emperor, it wouldn't change anything at all.
When the emperor saw the birthday gift from Prince An's Mansion, the smile on his face faded a lot, and he felt unhappy in his heart. However, since there was no mistake, he couldn't make a mistake, so he could only wave his hand lightly and continue reading. Next.
Wu Zechen and Xia Luotong didn't care what the emperor thought, they ate leisurely and watched others offering gifts.
Halfway through the birthday banquet, after Xia Luotong had eaten and drank, he suddenly felt a little strange. Usually something happened at the banquet, but today it was silent.
But then I thought about those women who always caused trouble for me, but they didn't attend the birthday banquet today, and I felt normal again.
However, Xia Luotong had just finished this thought when someone seemed to have heard her voice and pointed the finger at her.
"Princess An, you have been married to Prince An for a long time, and you do not allow concubines or concubines to enter, and you cannot contribute to Prince An's palace. How can you be so willful?"
As soon as the Queen opened her mouth, everyone immediately noticed the smell of gunpowder. Even their voices softened, and their attention was focused on the Queen and Princess An.
Seeing the frowning and displeased look on the Queen's face, many people began to wonder whether the Queen was specifically looking for trouble for Princess An.
After all, those things happened just two days ago, so the queen had to jointly manage the harem with the noble concubine and the concubine De. Miss Lei Er of Fengguo Palace, the queen's niece, also lost her title of county head in that incident.
She was also promised to the prince of the Northern Barbarians, and she didn't even get the position of a concubine. She was stunned to be identified as a concubine, which really embarrassed the Duke of Fengguo!
If the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, she will be a concubine after all. But the problem is that she has not succeeded yet. This concubine's name is really embarrassing. It is no different from a slap in the face of Duke Fengguo. .
Rather than agreeing to be a concubine to the Northern Barbarian prince, the Duke of Fengguo even thought it would be better to send her to a nunnery!
It's a pity that Fengguo Duke's Mansion didn't have a chance to choose, because on the day of the reception banquet, the Northern Man Crown Prince made a decision with the emperor on the matter, and the emperor also issued an imperial edict, so there was no possibility of changing his mind.
This matter has been a hotly discussed topic in the capital for the past two days, so few people present were unaware of it, so they naturally guessed the Queen's intention when she suddenly spoke up.
Xia Luotong naturally saw the queen's intention, but Wu Zechen beside her squeezed her hand, apparently telling her not to speak in a hurry, and that Wu Zechen would stand up for her.
Since Wu Zechen wanted to help her, she naturally wouldn't rush to speak. But what the couple didn't expect was that there was someone who couldn't wait to speak before them, and they didn't hide the intended meaning of their words.
"I didn't expect Princess An to be unable to give birth to a child? In our southern barbarians, women who cannot give birth to children are thrown to feed the wolves!" Princess Niya spoke with full malice.
She didn't mean to lower her voice at all, and even spoke very loudly on purpose, with a look of disdain on her face.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the seats in Prince An's Mansion, and their faces were full of surprise. Is the rumor that Princess An cannot get pregnant true?
However, Princess An has indeed been married to Prince An for a long time. It used to be reasonable to say that she was poisoned and was not pregnant. But now that the poison has been cured for a long time, there is still no movement in her stomach. Could it be the sequelae of the previous poisoning, and now she cannot get pregnant? A child?
Seeing everyone talking about it, Princess Niya finally showed a proud smile, and looked at Xia Luotong with eyes full of sarcasm, but the next moment, she couldn't laugh anymore.
Wu Zechen looked at Princess Niya with a cold face, and said coldly: "Princess Nanman, does she know what the crime of slandering our Zhou royal family is? And what kind of punishment will be imposed? She talks nonsense so casually!"
"How do you know that my king's concubine cannot get pregnant? Is this the kind of upbringing the Nanman Princess has? She can't even speak, so she really can't stand up to the public!"
Wu Zechen was merciless when he opened his mouth. If he hadn't been at the emperor's birthday banquet, he would have been even harsher!
"Prince An, be careful what you say!" the Nanman envoy said anxiously, frowning.
Although her own princess is too trouble-making, this time she represents the Nanmans in coming to the Great Zhou. If their Nanmans princess is embarrassed in the Great Zhou, what difference does it make to the entire Nanmans being embarrassed?
Therefore, even if the Nanman envoys were afraid of Prince An in front of them, they had no choice but to stop him at this time.
However, Wu Zechen just glanced at the envoy coldly and didn't take it to heart at all: "Be careful what you say? None of your southern barbarian generals dare to talk to this king like this."
This is a naked message to the Southern Barbarian envoys that none of your Southern Barbarian generals can defeat him!
Since they are all defeated, what qualifications do they have to act arrogantly in front of him? How dare you humiliate his wife in front of him?
As soon as Wu Zechen said these words, everyone in the Nanman mission changed their expressions, full of shame and anger, but the most annoying thing was that they could not refute!
Because, this is a fact!
Most of the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty looked relieved. Although they felt that Prince An was so straightforward and merciless to the Nanman envoys, they could not say anything wrong. After all, what Prince An said was not only the truth, but also Protecting Da Zhou’s face!
Whether Princess An can contribute to Prince An's palace is ultimately his own business. How could it be the turn of a foreigner to ridicule her? !
Even if the emperor is sitting on the dragon throne, even if he feels unhappy at the moment, he still cannot speak against Prince An in front of all the ministers.
The Nanman envoys also understood this truth, but they could not resist what their princess had just blurted out, and they could not cover her mouth all the time to prevent her from speaking, so they could only endure their anger at the moment. He endured the mocking looks of envoys from other countries and did not intend to confront Prince An again.
After all, if no one in your country is strong and has never won a fight, how can you have the confidence to speak loudly?
However, the fact that the envoy could endure it did not mean that the arrogant Princess Niya could not endure it. Princess Niya, who felt that she had been humiliated, wanted to speak again, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was stopped by the Nanman envoy on the side.
This time, the Nanman envoy was staring at her. When he saw that she was still unwilling to give up, he immediately ignored so many things and shouted in a deep voice: "Princess! That's enough!"
The voice of the Nanman envoy was not loud, but it was enough for Princess Niya beside him to hear.
