In the palace, Shen Luoxi asked Xueyu to change her clothes for the palace banquet, and footsteps came from outside the courtyard.
Without even raising her eyelids, she stood up and walked to the door of the room where she saw two guards.
"The palace banquet is about to begin. The prince asked the princess to hurry up."
After saying that, the two guards took a step back.
They all remembered what happened when Shen Luoxi was slapped in public!
Shen Luoxi nodded and walked slowly towards the front hall. When he saw Ning Yanran standing next to Cang Yunxuan, he glanced at her with a raised eyebrow.
Bringing a concubine to the palace banquet? Are you going to slap her, the royal concubine, in the face in public?
When Cang Yunxuan saw her coming, he frowned and looked at her with dissatisfaction, "You clearly knew that you were going to attend the palace banquet today, but you asked me to wait for you until now. It's really out of order!"
"Is this what Prime Minister Shen and Mrs. Shen taught you before you left the cabinet?"
Ning Yanran immediately raised her white and tender hand and caressed his chest a few times, and said softly, "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. My sister definitely didn't mean it. Maybe she encountered something that delayed her, or she accidentally forgot the time."
After saying that, she smiled at Shen Luoxi, making her so considerate and sensible.
Shen Luoxi's eyes were slightly cold. She didn't care what others said about her. It didn't hurt or itch anyway, but since she had taken over this body, she naturally had to fulfill her filial piety for the original body and would not allow anyone to slander her family.
"Your Majesty is getting married to me. My parents are your parents-in-law, and they are also His Majesty's elders. Is there a rule for Your Majesty to talk about your elders behind their backs?" She raised her eyes and looked at Ning Yanran, "As for you, I am talking to Your Majesty, you What qualifications does a concubine have to interrupt?”
Cang Yunxuan's face darkened. Why didn't he know that Shen Luoxi had such a powerful mouth before?
Ning Yanran was still waiting for Cang Yunxuan to speak for her, but unexpectedly he became silent. Ning Yanran immediately grabbed his clothes pitifully to attract his attention.
She looked at Shen Luoxi and her soft voice trembled slightly, "Sister, don't be angry. It was my sister who lost her rules for a moment. If she wants to be punished, she will never complain..."
Ning Yanran's beautiful almond eyes were filled with tears, and there was still fear in her eyes.
Shen Luoxi sneered. She was justified and upright, while Ning Yanran acted coyly as if she had bullied Ning Yanran without any basis.
"Since my sister knows the rules so well, I won't be polite to my sister, Xueyu, just follow the family rules."
Ning Yanran was stunned. She saw that Xue Yu had really turned around and quickly stopped her, "The palace banquet is about to begin. It is natural and reasonable for my sister to take action against the family. But if the time is delayed, it would not be good for the emperor to blame him." …”
"Your Majesty, let's go out quickly."
Cang Yunxuan nodded lightly, and just as he was about to take a step forward, the sound of Shenluoxi rang out.
"I just praised my sister for her good manners, but now I ask the prince to treat you as a concubine to attend the palace banquet without giving any advice. If you enter the palace, won't you be treated as a joke?"
"My lord, I am doing this for the sake of your reputation."
Cang Yunxuan looked at her coldly, "I will protect Yanran. If you don't want to go, go back to the house. Don't embarrass yourself here!"
He took Ning Yanran and strode past Shen Luoxi, his eyes full of disgust.
Ning Yanran smiled lightly at Shen Luoxi, the provocation between her eyebrows and eyes was self-evident.
Shen Luoxi didn't take it seriously. Cang Yunxuan spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife, and deliberately promoted Ning Yanran and let her overshadow him.
But why should she let this couple have their way?
Not only does she want to go, but she also has to be polite and courteous. Anyway, she is the one who is in charge.
If it was a joke, Cang Yunxuan and Ning Yanran could just take it themselves. She was showing mercy if she didn't laugh along with them.
"Princess, then let's..." Xueyu asked cautiously.
"Go, why don't you go? Just prepare a carriage."
Xueyu nodded and followed Shen Luoxi out of the palace.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate.
When Cang Yunxuan took Ning Yanran out of the carriage, the eunuch who had been waiting for a long time was not surprised. He bowed his head and led them into the palace.
Shen Luoxi's carriage was slower. When she got off, no eunuch came forward, as if they didn't see her.
She glanced at the eunuchs coldly, and a sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth under the veil.
People in the palace are the ones who worship those who are superior and those who are inferior to others. Although she is a royal concubine, in Cang Yunxuan's eyes, she is not even as good as a slave. Naturally, these eunuchs will not pay attention to her.
Xueyu looked at her worriedly, and the next moment she saw Shen Luoxi taking out a handful of silver and throwing it at her feet.
The eunuch who had just regarded Shen Luoxi as if he was nothing, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Several people were about to move, but they heard a slight cough from behind, and those who had already taken steps could only retract their feet.
They watched reluctantly as an old eunuch swaggered forward, bent down to pick up the ingot of silver, and stepped hard on his hand with an embroidered shoe embroidered with red peonies.
The old eunuch screamed and couldn't move back even if he wanted to let go of his foot. The foot that was holding his hand continued to exert force, as if to crush his hand.
"How could your father-in-law steal my money in public?" Shen Luoxi increased her strength and looked at him with a half-smile, "I must meet the emperor and deal with you, a slave who doesn't understand the rules!"
"The other father-in-laws are all witnesses. They must bear witness for me when they come before the emperor."
Others felt a chill on their backs when they heard this. Shen Luoxi had clearly thrown the money on the ground, but now he was raking it up!
But at the same time, they were glad that they were not the ones picking up the money, otherwise they would have ended up like this!
Although Shen Luoxi is not favored by Cang Yunxuan, her status is still that of Princess Xuan and the concubine of the Prime Minister's Palace. When it comes to making trouble in front of the emperor, they will only suffer!
"Princess, please spare my life! Please, Princess, let this slave go! This slave realizes his mistake!"
Shen Luoxi sneered, "Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be spared."
As soon as she finished speaking, she crushed her feet, and the sound of broken bones reached the ears of everyone present.
She moved her toes and looked at the pale old eunuch coldly, "This money is for my father-in-law to buy medicine."
"Take me in now, don't waste time."
The old eunuch nodded repeatedly, holding back the pain and taking Shen Luoxi into the Royal Banquet Palace.
Xueyu praised in a low voice behind her: "Just now, I thought the princess was going to bribe him!"
Shen Luoxi smiled and said nothing, how long can bribery be good for? It will only make those who abuse her worse.
It's better to give them some deterrent and let them know that they are not someone they can afford to mess with!
When Shen Luoxi walked into the hall, everyone immediately looked at her.
She raised her eyes and scanned the people in the hall calmly, and as expected, she became the center of attention.
Seeing her coming, the other female family members frowned and looked at her with disgust, and started talking in low voices.
"I thought she wouldn't come, what a bad luck!"
"How can she have the nerve to come out to meet people? She's not afraid of ruining other people's appetites."
Shen Luoxi lowered her eyes and didn't take it to heart. She knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully to the emperor and empress who were in high positions.
"I am late, please forgive me, Your Majesty and Queen."
