"Zhao Yunrou." King Yu suddenly turned his head and looked at her coldly, "Immediately apologize to Princess Zhan, otherwise I will go to the palace in person to meet the saint and let Zhao Shangshu explain how he taught such an unruly person. daughter!"
The air was cold and the temperature in the flower hall dropped rapidly.
Rong Jinyue swallowed and looked at Princess Chen uneasily.
Princess Chen couldn't keep it off her face. Although she knew in her heart that King Yu's anger was directed at everyone present, she had no position to speak at this time.
She didn't expect that things would develop like this, nor did she expect that Chu Yunfei would be so tough, unwilling to show weakness at all, and not even doing superficial things.
What on earth does she want to do? Are you happy just to offend everyone?
"Zhao Yunrou, why are you still standing there?" Prince Yu's tone became colder and colder, "I want you to kneel down and apologize to Princess Zhan!"
Zhao Yunrou pinched her palms tightly and stared at Chu Yunfei resentfully, her face was embarrassed, and she no longer had the aloof attitude she had just before.
Everyone looked at Chu Yunfei.
Chu Yunfei remained silent, as if waiting for Zhao Yunrou to kneel down and apologize to her.
Zhao Yunrou was so angry that her eyes were red. Under the increasingly dark and tough pressure from King Yu, she had to walk out of her seat and humiliatedly knelt down to Chu Yunfei to apologize: "I shouldn't have done it today. I'm a slut. It's me who should fight. Fight." The princess taught you the right lesson, I will never dare to do it again, please forgive me for speaking evil words."
After saying that, she maintained her curtsy posture and waited for Chu Yunfei to speak.
"My prince was injured recently and needs to rest in bed." Chu Yunfei said calmly, "Although there is indeed a misunderstanding between us husband and wife, my husband is injured, and it is my duty as a wife to take care of him. It was my duty, but unexpectedly it became a shameless behavior in the eyes of others, which is really unbelievable."
Jiang Qian was sitting on pins and needles, not daring to say a word.
"No matter how misunderstood or criticized outside, I am still Princess Zhan, the wife of King Zhan Mingyuan, and the daughter-in-law of the Emperor." Chu Yunfei smiled faintly, "Everyone present here, regardless of whether their family background is better than mine or their status is higher than mine Everyone, please remember this, imperial power cannot be despised, and superiority and inferiority cannot be confused. If ministers are too arrogant and regard the king's grace as the capital of arrogance, disaster will come sooner or later."
Princess Yu's eyes turned dark and she was dizzy for a while, then she stood up holding the tea table. Her burning cheek became swollen, which made her hate Chu Yunfei with gritted teeth.
"Originally I didn't want to come, but Princess Chen said we were just drinking tea with the sisters-in-law. I couldn't help but come here." Chu Yunfei pushed away the tea cup, stood up, and calmly cleaned herself up. Clothes, "I didn't expect to come to a Hongmen Banquet."
Princess Chen explained: "Brother and sister, I didn't know this would happen. Don't get me wrong..."
"Whether it is a misunderstanding, you all know it in your heart, and I understand it too." Chu Yunfei raised the corner of his mouth, full of sarcasm, "Anyone with a discerning eye can understand your battle today, one nest after another, but I am an outsider - although King Chen and King Zhan are biological brothers, and they are biological brothers and sisters with the fifth princess, but obviously, you don’t think so.”
King Chen's face turned blue and white.
Rong Jinyue was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do.
Princess Chen bit her lip and tightened the handkerchief in her hand.
"It doesn't matter." Chu Yunfei said nonchalantly, "Don't call me on such occasions in the future. I have a low status and am not qualified to integrate with you. I'll say goodbye."
After that, he calmly nodded to everyone present, then turned around and walked out.
Shengxia and Mo Xue followed closely.
Everyone in the flower hall had frozen expressions on their faces, and no one spoke for a long time.
"Actually, I am also confused." Qi Jin looked around at everyone present, and finally his eyes fell on King Chen's face, "Since you all look down on Princess Zhan so much, why would you invite her here? Isn't this asking for embarrassment? Isn't it in the capital? The princesses and ladies have nothing to do on weekdays, and they all like to do things that humiliate themselves?"
"Although Prince Qi's words are reasonable, don't count me out." Xie Danshu stood up and spoke in an indifferent and distant tone, "I was simply invited to drink tea today. I have no dissatisfaction with Princess Zhan, nor do I have anything good to say about the behavior of everyone present. As for the evaluation, please don’t call me on such occasions in the future. Take your leave.”
Xie Danshu left with the maid.
Seeing this, Shen Nanyue and Dou Huiran quickly found an excuse to leave.
The remaining female talents are all from their own families.
Jiang sisters, Zhao sisters, royal sisters.
King Yu said coldly: "It's really unlucky." Then he walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
Princess Chen was silent, but she knew in her heart that Princess Yu and her sisters had lost all face during today's tea party, and she, Princess Chen, was no exception.
but……
They raised their heads and looked at each other with King Chen. The couple seemed to have a tacit understanding, and there was a hint of conspiracy in their eyes.
Although their faces were damaged, the Duke of Guo's Mansion and the Prince of War's Mansion were completely at odds with each other.
The Zhao family is not very big-minded. After being humiliated like this today, there is no way they can swallow this sigh of relief.
Although the Lord Protector did not have much real power in the court, he could go to the palace to complain. Zhao Yunrou's father was the Minister of the Ministry of War and was in charge of the overall distribution of military supplies.
The King of War holds military power, and will be subject to more or less constraints and difficulties in the future.
The Protector's Palace and Prince Yu's Palace are related by marriage. If the Zhao family turns against the King of War, it means that Prince Yu and the King of War turn against each other.
If these two princes fight first and both sides suffer, Prince Chen's Mansion will be able to reap the benefits.
Princess Chen suppressed the smile that curled up at the corner of her mouth. She really felt that appearance was not important, as long as the goal was achieved.
…
Chu Yunfei walked out of Prince Yu's Mansion and was about to get on the carriage when she heard a voice coming from behind: "Princess Zhan, please wait a moment."
Chu Yunfei turned around to look.
Xie Danshu and her maid hurriedly caught up. When they arrived in front of Chu Yunfei, they slightly bent their knees and said, "Can I go with the princess?"
Chu Yunfei was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes."
"Thank you, Princess."
Xie Danshu turned around and asked the maid to drive the carriage back to Xie's house. Then she and Chu Yunfei got on the palace carriage and entered the carriage. .”
"It doesn't matter." Chu Yunfei smiled lightly and said indifferently, "I don't take them seriously."
Xie Danshu hummed and sat across from Chu Yunfei without saying a word.
The relationship between the two of them is limited to acquaintance but not familiarity.
Xie Danshu is the daughter of Uncle Xie Guo and the niece of the current queen. Before they got married, Chu Yunfei was only the daughter of a third-grade minister and had no connection with Xie Danshu.
After getting married, she stayed in the palace to familiarize herself with affairs and manage the inner house. She had few opportunities to go out, and she never met Xie Danshu.
I didn't expect that we would actually get to know each other on such an occasion today and ride in the same carriage.
Chu Yunfei thought about the queen she saw in the palace yesterday. She was gentle, generous and generous. Uncle Xie's family were royal relatives. They had been keeping a low profile in recent years. The children in the family were well-educated. Unlike those who bullied others. completely different.
The empress has no children, and Uncle Xie Guo has never made it clear which prince he supports. If Rong Cang can win their support...
Chu Yunfei thought for a moment and slowly shook his head.
never mind.
Why should such a noble family let them wade in troubled waters?
