Jiang Ying's face was slightly stiff, and her probing eyes fell quietly on Chu Yunfei's face: "Brothers and sisters don't care at all?"
"There's nothing to care about." Chu Yunfei said in an indifferent tone, "They have nothing to do with me, why should I care about them?"
Jiang Ying was silent for a moment: "The Protector and the Minister of War are important ministers in the court. Even my father respects them and treats the old lady kindly. My younger siblings should not have such an arrogant attitude."
"Arrogant?" Chu Yunfei smiled half-heartedly, "Isn't it arrogant to not be there in person to celebrate your birthday? No matter how much my father values it, the Zhao family is just a minister, isn't it?"
Jiang Ying choked: "Even so -"
"If it's just because the old lady of the Duke's residence is celebrating her birthday and the princess has something to do and she can't be there, even if she has a arrogant attitude, then when the prime minister's wife celebrates her birthday, shouldn't the War King and I go and kowtow to them?" Chu Yunfei looked at it calmly. She said, "After all, the Prime Minister is the head of officials."
Jiang Ying's expression changed: "Brother and sister, how can you talk like this?"
The maids behind them both lowered their heads and turned pale.
"Princess Zhan, be careful what you say." The little eunuch who was leading the way was startled when he heard these words, and quickly turned around and saluted, "This is the palace, you can't talk nonsense."
"Isn't this what the Sixth Emperor's Wife means?" Chu Yunfei's face was calm and her tone was calm, "My father respects them because he is generous and treats important ministers well, but it does not mean that ministers who are treated well should take it for granted. , otherwise it would be more than just arrogance, it would be an understatement to say that they have a disobedient heart."
After the words fell, Princess Chen's face turned blue and white, and she could no longer maintain her gentle smile.
She could hardly believe that Chu Yuanfei dared to say such treasonous words in front of so many palace people.
What does she mean? Do you want to frame the Prime Minister's Mansion?
His intentions are really sinister and his heart is vicious.
Jiang Ying took a deep breath, becoming more and more certain that there was a reason why the imperial concubine didn't like her.
Who would like this kind of woman who stirs up trouble?
The gate of Zhaochen Palace was in front of her. Jiang Ying suppressed the anger in her heart. Thinking of the gentle image she had always maintained, she had to soften her tone: "Ninth brother and sister, what I just said was not malicious. I just hope that my brother and sister can fight with the courtiers and their families. Good relationship."
Chu Yunfei was noncommittal.
Jiang Ying suppressed her anger and expressed her concern at the right time: "Is Ninth Brother's injury getting better?"
Chu Yunfei said: "Recovering."
"Brothers and sisters, please listen to my advice." Jiang Ying said in a sincere tone, "It is common for the male to lead the outside and the female to lead the household. It is normal to have three wives and four concubines. Do you think my prince also has a concubine? We women should be more virtuous. , manage the inner house well for your husband, and be a good wife and mother is the right way."
Chu Yunfei looked at the palace gate in silence, and couldn't help but wonder, was Princess Chen planning to teach her how to be a wife outside Zhaochen Palace?
"To put it bluntly, my background should be higher than yours, right?" Jiang Ying sighed, "I don't dare to stop my husband from marrying his concubine, for fear of giving me an unworthy reputation, not to mention that my sister-in-law is just a minister. daughter."
Chu Yunfei looked at the palace wall in the distance, thinking about all kinds of people inside and outside the palace wall.
What kind of breed is Princess Chen?
Jiang Ying continued to talk: "Ninth brother has no fear of Shilang Chu. Who can stop him from taking concubines? The more you stop him, the more annoying he will be. Sooner or later, the husband and wife will turn against each other and become enemies. What good will it do to you then?"
Chu Yunfei finally said: "So the Sixth Emperor's Wife is not jealous at all?"
Jiang Ying was silent: "So what if I'm jealous?"
"For the sake of a virtuous reputation, you are willing to share a husband with others. This is your freedom." Chu Yunfei said in a calm voice, "I am indeed not so generous and cannot share my husband with others."
Jiang Ying pursed her red lips slightly, and a hint of ridicule flashed in her eyes: "But didn't Chu Yunjiao still enter the palace?"
"Just because Chu Yunjiao entered the palace, it doesn't mean that she will get what she wants." Chu Yun raised her lips and smiled playfully, "How do you know that I didn't deliberately bring her under my nose and take the opportunity to punish her? "
Jiang Ying's eyes darkened slightly and she couldn't help but want to sneer.
Everyone knew that the King of War wanted to divorce his wife, and their relationship as husband and wife had long since broken down. Chu Yunfei's words were obviously to save his face and not to show weakness.
But she won't expose her lie.
The two of them stepped into the palace gate together and went in to pay their respects to the noble concubine.
"In short, I am doing this for the sake of my siblings, and I hope they will listen to what I say." Jiang Ying said sincerely, "King Chen and King Zhan are brothers. I hope they are brothers and I hope you and your husband will be harmonious."
Chu Yun Fei was indifferent and didn't bother to respond to her hypocritical words.
"Sister-in-law of the Nine Emperors is actually willing to show up?" Rong Jinyue sat next to the imperial concubine, watching the two people walk in, and said in a weird voice, "It is really the noble person's visit that makes this palace shine."
Chu Yunfei ignored her words and knelt down with Princess Chen to salute and say hello.
Rong Jinyue's tone clearly indicated that she had already complained, and even made her remarks more jealous. If she really retorted, she would be playing into the opponent's hands.
"I heard that Princess Zhan didn't go to the old lady's birthday party at the Duke's Mansion today?" The imperial concubine held a tea cup in her hand and went straight to the topic, with a tone of questioning, "The emperor always respects the old lady, how can you, the princess, do it?" Seriously? You don’t understand any rules.”
Chu Yunfei lowered her eyebrows and replied, "The prince is seriously injured and my daughter-in-law cannot leave."
"Can't you leave?" The fifth princess sneered, "Hasn't Chu Yunjiao been taken into the house? Is it possible that she can't serve the Nine Emperor Brothers? Chu Yunfei, do you take yourself too seriously?"
Chu Yunfei was silent and narrowed his eyes, not wanting to argue with Rong Jinyue.
The imperial concubine was partial to King Chen and Rong Jinyue, but she disliked Rong Cang. The purpose of summoning her today was to ask how stupid she was to hand over the situation to the other party.
"Ying'er." The imperial concubine waved to Princess Chen, "Come here and sit next to me."
"Thank you very much, concubine." Princess Chen walked to sit beside the noble concubine and spoke warmly, "concubine, please don't blame your younger brothers and sisters. She is also worried about her ninth brother——"
"If she is really worried, why would she let her father enter the palace to impeach Brother Nine Emperors?" Rong Jinyue interrupted again, wishing that Chu Yunfei would be killed immediately, "In my opinion, she is simply jealous and has a blind eye. It’s so shallow and so ignorant!”
Rong Jinyue has been holding a grudge since the last time she suffered a defeat in Prince Zhan's Mansion. Now, she finally has the opportunity to deal with her. How could she let it go so easily?
Just because she is the princess of the Nine Emperors Brother, do you want to make sarcastic comments and make sarcastic remarks to her as a princess?
Rong Jinyue wanted to show her today whether she, the princess, was more important, or whether she, the princess, was more talkative.
Concubine Gu took a sip of tea, and the delicate armor on her fingers reflected a sharp cold light, just like the way she looked at Chu Yunfei at this moment.
There was a bit of disdain and indifference in his condescension, as if he was looking down at an ant, as if he could easily decide her life or death.
"My ninth daughter-in-law." Concubine Gu spoke, with a hint of imperceptible disgust in her cold voice, "Do you have anything to say?"
Princess Chen and Rong Jinyue sat on the left and right, with a sneer appearing on the corners of their lips.
Chu Yunfei looked calm: "My daughter-in-law has nothing to say."
"you--"
"The Emperor has arrived!" A high-pitched voice suddenly sounded, instantly breaking the cold and solemn atmosphere in the palace.
Concubine Gu frowned: "Why did the emperor come suddenly?"
