Chapter 272: Grandma Princess
The cool autumn wind blows, and the maple leaves are covered with frost, looking bright red like fire.
Early in the morning on the fifth day of the New Year, Deng Youning, Li Tianzhuo, Deng Yan'an and others dressed up and entered the palace.
They arrived relatively early.
Li Tianzhuo stayed with the Deng brothers and sisters throughout the whole process. The people of Nanxin were extremely respectful when they saw them and bowed to them from a distance.
"With your status as the King of Changle, you can really walk sideways in Nanxin!"
Deng Yan'an sighed with a sour tone.
During the previous hunting trip, when he was not walking with Li Tianzhuo, not only the officials of Nanxin, but even the eunuchs and palace maids ignored him.
If it weren't for his strong character and great abilities, he would have been bullied by those people.
This is also the reason why he always wanted to stay with Deng Youning.
He was afraid that the people of Nanxin would also be disrespectful to Deng Youning and bully her.
"My cousin, you really make me suffer."
"If I go to Dongji, won't I still have to rely on my cousin?"
Li Tianzhuo said modestly.
When he was the commander of the Silver Dragon Guard in Dongji, he was on par with Deng Yan'an in terms of official position and pomp!
Deng Yanan raised his eyebrows.
Excellent people are excellent wherever they go.
Fortunately, it was Li Tianzhuo, otherwise, there would be few people in this world who could match his cousin Deng Youning.
When they entered the banquet, the ministers had already arrived one after another.
When Yuan Gu saw Deng Youning coming, he still shamelessly moved forward.
"Sister, we had a thrilling hunt that day. I wonder if you have been recovering well these past few days?"
He walked forward and asked excitedly.
When he saw Deng Yan'an, he nodded to him, but completely ignored Li Tianzhuo.
"Young Marquis Yuan, don't you know how to greet me when you see me?"
Li Tianzhuo asked coldly.
The woman who flirted with him in front of him, did she really treat him as if he didn't exist?!
Only then did Yuan Gu reluctantly salute Li Tianzhuo.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just missed my senior sister too much."
Yuan Gu said with a sincere look of helplessness.
Deng Youning glared at him with disdain and warned him, "I've said it before, we in the Ten Thousand Snake Valley can't afford people like you, and this princess has nothing to do with you!"
"Did you hear that? A good dog doesn't get in the way!"
Xiu Ming also yelled at Yuan Gu on behalf of his master Li Tianzhuo.
Yuan Gu suppressed his anger and sneered, "Your Highness may not know that you and Princess Dongji will never be together legitimately in this life!"
He informed them that Emperor Nan Xin had agreed to hold a concubine selection banquet for Li Tianzhuo in a few days.
Li Tianzhuo was still a little shocked and didn't know why his father would agree.
But the shock on his face was only fleeting.
"So what?"
"As long as I don't want to, no one in this world, not even my father, can control me!"
He was extremely arrogant, with a look of contempt on his face.
As soon as the words fell, an old lady who had been in a high position for a long time questioned outside the door: "You haven't been back to the country for six years. When you come back, your wings are so strong?"
This voice shocked not only Li Tianzhuo, but almost everyone present.
The goal was achieved, and Yuan Gu's eyes showed a look of watching a show.
Li Tianzhuo turned to face the palace door and stared at the old woman who walked in from outside. The old woman had a dignified manner and majesty that was no less than that of the Queen Mother Dongji.
"Your subjects greet the Princess."
All the ministers knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old woman.
Deng Youning looked around. Emperor Nan Xin had not arrived yet. The only person with the most distinguished status present was Li Tianzhuo, but this old lady could make Li Tianzhuo's face darken.
"The eldest princess?"
"Is it your great-aunt?"
Deng Youning calculated the identity of the visitor and asked curiously.
Li Tianzhuo nodded in approval.
The visitor was the only eldest princess of Nanxin in all these years, the former Emperor Nanxin, and the younger sister of Li Tianzhuo’s grandfather.
This lady has no real power, but even the current Emperor Nanxin has to give way to her.
Next to her was a pretty and sweet-looking girl, who was about the same age as Li Tianzhuo, Deng Youning and the others.
It must be her granddaughter Fang Yiluo.
Yuan Gu was also one of the many ministers who paid their respects to the eldest princess.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His father was really capable. He even invited this living god back to Yuncheng.
With her around, Senior Sister will definitely not be able to marry Prince Changle.
As long as she is around, Prince Changle can forget about sitting on the throne safely!
With her around, they can join forces with them, lend them a helping hand, and conspire together for the throne of Nanxin.
Since her marriage, the eldest princess has been living in Luoxia City, not far from Yuncheng.
However, after living in that small city for most of her life, her mind became more alert and she began to think, her surname is also Li, why is the throne of Nanxin passed down to males and not females?
Since none of the princes can sit on the throne, it would be better to let her, the princess, sit on it!
"Tian'er meets the eldest princess."
Seeing them walking towards him, Li Tianzhuo could only bow and salute.
But from the way he addressed the eldest princess, it could be seen that he was not very familiar with this great aunt.
The Deng siblings also nodded to her symbolically.
The beautiful lady beside the eldest princess also bowed and greeted them one by one.
It seems that the relationship between the ruler and his subjects is harmonious and beautiful.
"Tian'er has really grown up and become more capable!"
"I heard that you were mixed up with the Dongji people before, and it was unclear. Today I saw that it was true. Are you going to forget your ancestors or betray your ancestors?"
The eldest princess taught Li Tianzhuo a lesson without any hesitation.
Relying on his seniority, no one dares to offend him and he speaks with particular authority.
"Oh, you've forgotten your roots? You've betrayed your ancestors?"
"Six years ago, my father demoted me to a commoner, and my martial arts were abolished by my brother, King Si. If it weren't for the rescue of Princess Dongji and the adoption of the Dongji royal family, would my grandson have survived?"
"I don't want to go back to Nanxin in the first place. If my father wasn't seriously ill and my brothers like Wang Si and Wang Yi were useless, I wouldn't want to waste my time here!"
Li Tianzhuo didn't even think twice and started to retort.
There was a hint of coldness in his words, and he didn't give the eldest princess any face at all.
He had no relationship with this great aunt.
"How outrageous!"
"Is this how you speak to your elders?"
The eldest princess has been in Luoyan City for a long time and has been worshipped as a living ancestor. This is the first person in her sixty or seventy years of life who dares to talk to her like this!
"Cousin, you are really too unreasonable. After all, grandma is your elder!"
Fang Yiluo also responded and criticized Li Tianzhuo.
"Who are you? You dare to call me "cousin"? Do I agree?"
"Also, I didn't say anything rude to the princess. I just told the truth. How can that be considered unreasonable? Why is that a bad attitude?"
Li Tianzhuo asked with a confused look on his face, and did not forget to ask all the ministers what he had done wrong.
Deng Youning felt quite happy watching him go crazy calmly.
The eldest princess doesn't look like a good person at all!
He has lived in Luoxia City for a long time, but suddenly came to Yuncheng to attend a palace banquet. I don’t know what his intentions are, but we have to be on guard!
The eldest princess' face turned red because of Li Tianzhuo's anger.
This King Changle is indeed as difficult to deal with as the rumors say!
"As a son and a brother, what have our Li family and the entire Nanxin done to you?"
The eldest princess tried to save face.
Li Tianzhuo chuckled and asked, "According to seniority, I should call you my great-aunt, so, considering that you are my elder and my relative, should I beat you up and bear it?"
His words became more and more crazy.
The eldest princess, the girl, and even everyone in the audience were stunned.
"You, you are really incurable!"
The eldest princess pointed at Li Tianzhuo tremblingly, and she wanted to slap him in the face.
