Chapter 66
When Princess Pingyang's cousin, the deputy general manager who distributed the invitations, heard this, he thought that Princess Pingyang was unwilling to give up on what happened in the morning, so he said impatiently.
"Don't ask me to help you get invitations again! Didn't I tell you? You can't get it!"
"I told you this morning, someone offered me one hundred thousand silver for just one invitation!"
"No, ask these father-in-laws. They followed me and just met Mr. Li... Mr. Li gave me two hundred thousand taels of silver... two hundred thousand!"
Everyone's eyes widened in shock. An invitation was worth 200,000 yuan. This was too valuable!
"Is two hundred thousand a lot? But in the eyes of rich people, it's nothing!"
The deputy general manager looked at everyone's shocked look and said with a bit of pride.
"This year's Queen Mother's birthday party has only a limited number of invitees. Just for one invitation, several highly respected ministers came to me to intercede!"
"But there's nothing I can do! If I really can get invitations, how can I not make a fortune from this?"
He glared at Princess Pingyang and cursed: "So, don't bother me with such trivial matters! I have eaten and have to return to the palace to recover!"
Princess Pingyang shook the invitation in her hand and said aggrievedly.
"But...cousin, I really got two invitations. Grandma said they were sent by Eunuch Xie himself!"
"It's a joke. Eunuch Xie will personally send you the invitation?"
"We were the ones who sent the invitations this morning! Are you sure that the person you saw is really Eunuch Xie who is beside the emperor?"
"Is your invitation a fake? You're using Eunuch Xie's name to promote yourself!" the deputy general manager said disdainfully.
"But this invitation is the same as the one I received!" Princess Pingyang handed the invitation to her cousin.
The deputy general manager glanced at it impatiently and said, "The invitations in the palace this time were all written by Mr. Cheng from the Ministry of Etiquette!"
"Master Cheng's handwriting is powerful, meticulous and neat. It's not like this at all! This is fake!"
After he finished speaking, he ignored Princess Pingyang and took several of his father-in-laws into the vacant private room!
"Princess Yi, did you hear what my cousin said? Your invitation is fake!"
"Ling Yu, I didn't expect you to be so courageous. Just to show off, you dared to forge an invitation from the Queen Mother!"
Princess Pingyang threw the invitation away angrily, and Ling Yu quickly snatched it away.
Shen Juan shouted from the side: "Princess Pingyang, you can't give her the invitation. We should take it to the Yamen and sue her for forgery!"
Ling Yu put away the invitation with a smile and said, "Want to sue me for forgery? You're not qualified yet!"
"I said the Queen Mother would give me an invitation, but you just didn't believe it!"
"Hey, then I can only keep it well until the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and then take this invitation to attend the birthday banquet!"
Princess Pingyang was so angry that she smiled and said: "Okay... Ling Yu, I will let you keep it well. I am waiting to see you take the fake invitation to attend the birthday banquet! Don't be scared when the time comes. I don’t even dare to go out!”
Everyone burst into laughter.
"I heard that such a grand birthday banquet is always guarded by imperial guards. Princess Yi, you probably can't even get in through the palace gate!"
"That's right, if you really dare to take this fake invitation, you will definitely be hacked to death by the imperial guards!"
"Princess Yi, your bragging for the sake of face is too outrageous! You'd better go home and hide, don't pretend to be a relative of the emperor here!"
"Prince Yi doesn't even acknowledge her, but she's putting gold on her own face!"
"Not to mention receiving an invitation from the Queen Mother, she probably won't be able to pay for today's meal. If you don't believe it, just wait and see how embarrassing she will be!"
Shen Juan still remembered this and quickly reminded everyone.
Ling Yu glanced sideways at Xiao Lintian, who had been watching from the sidelines, a little speechless.
After all, they were still husband and wife, and Ling Yu even gave birth to a child for him. When he saw others humiliating his princess like this, he just remained silent like this?
She rolled her eyes and said in a faint tone.
"Shen Juan, since you said that my invitation is fake, then if I go to the birthday banquet with a fake invitation, the Queen Mother will blame me... Will she also blame Prince Yi?"
"If I am hacked to death, what punishment will Prince Yi receive?"
