"Sister, you're overthinking."
Lu Ruoyan rolled her eyes. "I'm really curious about who my sister will end up with! With my status, it might be a bit difficult for me to be the prince's concubine. But if I were to be a concubine... it would be really good."
Lu Seyan frowned slightly and said, "Sister, if you think it's good, then go ahead."
She doesn't want to be a concubine.
"Could it be that you still want to be a concubine? Oh no, a principal concubine? That's really unrealistic. Even though you are now registered under my mother's name, don't forget what your mother's status is."
"Sister, have you forgotten that my mother is also your mother? What do you think her identity is?"
"Hmph, dream on." What made Lu Ruoyan most angry was why her grandmother had allowed this little bitch to be registered under her mother's name, thus elevating her status.
At this time, the Queen Mother and Princess Yi Yang came out and everyone paid their respects to them.
"Everyone, get up." The Queen Mother said kindly.
Lu Ruoyan saw Xia Zhiliao and Princess Yiyang getting close. Because of what happened before, she didn't suspect anything and deliberately provoked Lu Seyan, "Did you see it? If you had done it back then, you would be the one now."
Lu Seyan knew the identity of the Xia family, so she naturally would not cause trouble.
But as for Lu Ruoyan, that’s her business.
"We are all from the countryside. My sister claims to be smart, but she is no better than a child."
"What about my sister?"
Lu Ruoyan didn't respond, and Lu Seyan just smiled faintly.
In this situation, although she really wanted to make Lu Ruoyan unlucky, she didn't want to implicate herself because of her stupidity.
"Yuer, come here quickly and let everyone take a good look at you."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. The Yue'er that the Queen Mother mentioned should be the little Princess Chang Yue who came back from the dead.
But when the real owner walked over, everyone was stunned.
Why is it her?
Jiang Xiaoying felt like being struck by lightning.
"The palace is holding a banquet today to celebrate the reunion of mother and daughter. Yue'er has been away from home for more than 20 years. Fortunately, she has found a good man and returned safely. This is a blessing for our dynasty."
After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, some people who were quick-witted had already started to pay their respects to Chang Yue.
Chang Yue had always been a country woman, and she really couldn't stand this and was a little panicked, but with her mother and Xia Zhiliao holding her on both sides, she didn't show any fear.
[You must accept this gift, otherwise people will look down on you later.]
Chang Yue took a deep breath and understood what was going on.
Before Jiang Xiaoying recovered from her shock, Princess Yi Yang had already brought the mother and daughter to her side.
"Yuer, you just came back, so you probably don't recognize her yet. This is Prime Minister Jiang's daughter, and she just married the new number one scholar not long ago."
Xia Zhiliao almost laughed out loud.
[Grandma, this is really murderous. How could mother not know Jiang Xiaoying? ]
When Jiang Xiaoying saw the princess, she naturally had to pay her respects, even if she was a hundred or a thousand times unhappy in her heart, she still had to perform the ceremony.
No matter how stupid she was, she knew that Princess Yi Yang did it on purpose.
"Meet the princess."
Chang Yue curled her lips, thinking of her repeated harassment and humiliation, "Mom, you are wrong. Madam Shen and I have a good relationship. We have met many times, right? Madam Shen?"
Everyone present knew that Jiang Xiaoying had a fight with the Xia family and was finally forced by her father to go to the General's Mansion to apologize.
The reason why no one discussed it was simply because they were afraid of her father's power, but everyone was very clear about it.
It has only been a short time, no one has forgotten it.
"Yes!" Jiang Xiaoying said with gritted teeth.
However, did she think that was the end of it?
Xia Zhiliao knew clearly that her grandmother was just trying to support her mother and let everyone present know that no one could bully her.
"Sister, why are you getting married? Didn't you want to marry my father before?"
Jiang Xiaoying's face suddenly became embarrassed.
Such rumors have been around for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be true. Everyone's expressions were different, but it was obvious that they were all trying to hold back their laughter.
Jiang Xiaoying's face almost turned green with anger.
"However, my father only wants my mother and doesn't want anyone else's. My sister is smart and she stopped pestering my father."
Jiang Xiaoying wanted to strangle Xia Zhiliao to death, but she didn't have the courage to do so now.
"Zhiluo, you misunderstood. Miss Jiang is the daughter of the Prime Minister, how could she be willing to be a concubine? You are just a little kid, I'm afraid you heard it wrong?"
Xia Zhiliao nodded and blinked at her grandmother, "Grandma, you are right, I really heard it wrong."
Jiang Xiaoying's face turned as pale as an eggplant at this moment, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
"The little girl is very clever, no one can snatch your father away from you." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
"It can't be taken away even if you snatch it away." Xia Zhiliao smiled playfully, not afraid at all in front of the Queen Mother.
Xia Zhiliao laughed unscrupulously and was deeply favored by the Queen Mother. Lu Seyan felt uncomfortable watching from the side.
Lu Ruoyan was just fanning the flames, "Sister, if you had succeeded then, maybe your mother would have become a princess now."
Lu Ruoyan felt that Chang Yue's identity was suspicious. Perhaps it was because Xia Zhiliao pleased Princess Yi Yang that they were able to rise to prominence.
But Lu Seyan knew that even if Princess Yi Yang was crazy, the Queen Mother was not.
If Xia Zhiliao's mother was not Princess Yi Yang's bloodline, this would never have happened.
But she didn't expect this result.
Madam Lu was also a little confused. "How could this happen? Didn't you know about this before?"
Lu Seyan shook her head, "I don't know."
"But it doesn't matter. She is still young and won't achieve anything. You must not slack off on the Crown Prince's part. It would be better to settle her as soon as possible."
Lu Seyan didn't say anything. She didn't have any thoughts about the prince.
"Grandma, that girl has a good relationship with Wen Heng, Wen Heng, hehe!"
Lu Seyan sneered in her heart. Even if Wen Heng was no longer favored, he was still a prince after all. Not to mention that the Hou Mansion had long lost its former glory, even if it was, as a minister, he could not compare to the prince.
As expected, Madam Lu is a clear-headed person.
"What's wrong with him? He is still a prince after all, and things are different now."
"Why is it different?" Lu Ruoyan asked again.
Madam Lu glanced at Lu Seyan, and Lu Seyan understood, knowing that the old lady wanted to see what she thought.
"If Wen Heng is really on good terms with Xia Zhiliao, then he has the support of Princess Yi Yang."
"Princess Yiyang is so old, what can she do if she supports it?"
Old Mrs. Lu shook her head and really wanted to call him an idiot.
"Sister, don't forget that the current emperor was supported by Princess Yiyang. Even though she is no longer the same as before, the current emperor is the most filial. Just thinking of this friendship, Prince Wen Heng's situation will be much better."
Madam Lu nodded, "That's right, Ruoyan, you should learn more from your sister. Think more about everything and don't jump to conclusions."
