As soon as he finished speaking, several people echoed him. Although Liu Dechang didn't speak, he was full of curiosity about Princess Yu. Huang Shixiong followed him carelessly:
"Since Princess Yu has special skills, she will perform for us. This will also be a good opportunity to silence some people."
Although the emperor didn't like Princess Yu, he didn't want her to make the Leng family lose face in front of the various kings. So, he frowned and said to Luo Lan:
"I see that Princess Yu's face is not looking good. If you feel unwell, you can retreat and rest. There is no need to force yourself here."
Obviously, the emperor wanted her to leave here consciously.
At this time, Wu Hong said reluctantly:
"Today is New Year's Eve, and all the female relatives here are talented. Does Princess Yu really want to come here to have a meal and then leave? Are the rumors in the market false? Or maybe the Princess Yu last time and the Princess Yu this time are not the same person? "
Luo Lan could tell from the meaning in his words that it seemed that not only the emperor was suspicious of her identity, but also these unrelated people and ordinary people were also suspicious of her identity.
Just when she was in a dilemma, Leng Yu's gentle, jade-like hand held her cold little hand tightly. He raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at her lovingly, and murmured softly,
"You don't have to cater to anyone. Just go and rest when you're tired! I'll take care of everything."
Leng Yu's words made Luo Lan feel warm in his heart. However, if she left now, she would definitely speak out in front of these people, which would make Leng Yuyin even more confrontational with these people.
Just when she was thinking about this, the rough and contemptuous voice of Zhennan Wang Leng Zian rang out,
"For my sake, please don't embarrass my niece-in-law. She comes from a poor peasant family, and being able to attend such an important occasion already makes her restless. Why do you have to push each other so hard? Let her sit quietly for a while, eat some delicious food that she has never tasted before, and taste some tea that she has never tasted before, and her rise to wealth will not be in vain."
The people present fell silent when they heard his words, and turned their gazes to Luo Lan and Leng Yu. Even a fool could hear that there was ridicule in his words.
Listening to his cynicism, Leng Xi, who was sitting next to her, felt a little aggrieved for her. He frowned slightly and immediately retorted:
"Uncle Emperor, why do I hear that there is something wrong in your words? Although the Emperor's wife comes from a peasant family, she also committed herself to my fourth brother when he was in the most difficult time. For this reason, she should also be worthy of respect from others, rather than being respected by others. Here she is treated with cynicism."
"Xi'er, you said that I ridiculed her? You are provoking this. The emperor moved into Prince Yu's Mansion yesterday when he entered the capital. He has a good impression of Princess Yu. In addition to her rough manners, she also speaks unpleasantly. Some people are rude to others and have no shortcomings."
His words made Wu Yuanzhang laugh while stroking his beard. Leng Yu's eyebrows were completely cold to the freezing point at this moment.
His eyes darkened, and there was an insidious look in his eyes like a cold pool, and he snorted coldly:
"My father has invited you all to attend the annual banquet today, but you are here to deliberately slander my princess. This is really heartbreaking. If anyone is dissatisfied with me, Leng Yu, you can come directly to me. If I hear someone say that Lan'er is not a good person again, don't blame me for being rude."
As soon as he said these words, everyone present booed, but Leng Zian's face had veins popping. Wu Hong watched the excitement and said again without fear of trouble:
"Why should Prince Yu be angry? It was my fault in the first place. I should not have asked Princess Yu to perform the dance. This is obviously making things difficult for others. I would rather ask Prince Yu and Princess Yu Haihan to do it."
Leng Zian also sat there waving his hands and snorted with his nose,
"Hmph! What else can a wild girl from the countryside know besides chopping firewood for cooking and hunting pig grass? It's really an embarrassment to the Leng family."
At this time, the emperor, who had been watching all this with cold eyes, turned dark again. He wanted to throw down his sleeves and roar, but because these Tibetan kings were here, he suppressed his anger and raised his hands and said:
"Everyone, please stop arguing. Since you all know Princess Yu's background, don't embarrass her. Yu'er, after dinner, send a car to take her back."
As soon as the emperor said these words, not only Leng Yu's face turned ugly, but Luo Lan's suppressed anger completely burned at this moment.
Originally, she planned to have a quiet New Year's Eve dinner here, and then go back to sleep peacefully with her handsome husband in her arms.
But she didn't want to be shot even if she was sitting quietly. These people wanted to point the finger at her. If she could endure it any longer, she would be really sorry for the human beings in the twenty-fifth century.
So, she stood up desperately and glanced at the unwilling Wu Hong. She knew that Wu Hong was resentful of her because of Prince Leng Yun.
She glanced at Leng Zian again. Perhaps the King of Zhennan was dissatisfied with Xiaozhi, or he simply didn't like her as a countryman.
But no matter what, she should not let these people look down upon herself, because if they look down upon herself, they will look down on Leng Yu.
She could endure the calm for a while, but she didn't want her man to be unable to escape from this whirlpool.
So, she looked at the emperor again, raised her eyebrows slightly, and the moment her eyes moved, she bowed and saluted:
"Your Majesty, since some people want to see my Shui Luolan's jokes, then I, Shui Luolan, have absolutely no reason to escape. I am a country girl who doesn't know much, but I can accept anyone's challenge in playing chess, calligraphy and painting, I... Although it doesn't make sense, I know a few things. Which prince, general or lady can compete with me? As long as I lose in one place, I, Luo Lan, will admit defeat and will never set foot in this palace from now on. step."
As soon as she said these words, Leng Yu's face suddenly became deserted. He also stood up, took Luo Lan's hand, and whispered dissatisfiedly:
"Lan'er, I told you not to cater to others. If you don't like staying here, just leave."
"Why are you leaving?"
Luo Lan held his hand and pulled him, raised her head, looked at him with her beautiful and somewhat tender eyes, softly squinted and smiled:
"My lord, I am Princess Yu who was chosen by Concubine Chang and recognized by the emperor. I admit that I had the idea of pursuing wealth and honor at first, but I did not take a penny from the royal family. All the rewards from the emperor and Concubine Chang have never left Prince Yu's palace. The reason why I appear here is entirely because I have feelings for you Leng Yu, I love you, and I want to learn to accept the life you should accept, so I don't allow others to doubt the relationship between you and me."
Her words were like needles, but each word was so sharp that no one dared to refute it.
Leng Yu was looking back at her with a pair of loving eyes at this time. He had never expected that Luo Lan would say the words of love for him in front of so many people, which made him feel flushed. In this winter day , my heart was warmed.
