Qi Yuning heard the whispers and glanced over. Those people didn't dare to say a word.
Qi Yuning looked at the shopkeeper of Yunyi Pavilion and asked, "Where is Lu Baozhu?"
Every time Yunyi Pavilion delivers new fabrics, Lu Baozhu is always the first to arrive.
The shopkeeper of Yunyi Pavilion bowed and said, "My Lady, Princess Lu has been confined by Prince Lu."
Qi Yuning didn't feel relieved because Lu Ze had confined Lu Baozhu. With Lu Baozhu under house arrest, she had no place to vent her anger.
"Miss, this is the place. Your wedding is coming soon, so you should come here and pick out some good fabrics to make clothes."
When Qi Yuning saw the round-faced girl coming in, she recognized her as the daughter of the Guan family at a glance. She vaguely remembered hearing Lu Ze say on Longhua Mountain that he and the girl of the Guan family were already engaged, and she was the only unmarried daughter of the Guan family.
With new and old grudges coming up, Qi Yuning had no time to look at Guan Zhiyi.
Guan Zhiyi looked at the gorgeously dressed woman in front of her. She didn't recognize her identity, but she felt uncomfortable with her arrogant look.
Qi Yuning picked out a lot of fabrics and said, "Pack up all the fabrics here and there for me. Get rid of any duplicates. I don't like others wearing the same fabric as me."
The shopkeeper responded repeatedly.
Guan Zhiyi watched Qi Yuning wave her hand and take all the new cloth, frowning and saying: "It's true that the rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets. How can you be so wasteful, young lady?"
When everyone in Yunyi Pavilion heard Guan Zhiyi's words, they all gasped.
After all, no one in Shengjing City had ever dared to speak to Qi Yuning like this.
Qi Yuning glanced at Guan Zhiyi as if she were an idiot. Jingzhe, standing beside her, angrily scolded Guan Zhiyi, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you teach my master a lesson?"
The maidservant beside Guan Zhiyi said, "My daughter is the sixth daughter of the dignified Cheng Yilang family!"
Jingzhe suddenly realized, "That's Guan Chengyilang, who became an official in the capital because all five of his daughters married into wealthy families!"
Guan Zhiyi frowned and said, "Don't look down on others!"
Everyone was mourning for Guan Zhiyi. Qi Yuning didn't even glance at Guan Zhiyi and said to Jingzhe, "Enter the palace."
When Qi Yuning entered the palace, she happened to see Lu Ze at the palace gate, and saw that he was also heading towards the Zichen Palace.
Along the way, Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze with a hint of sympathy in his eyes, sympathy for the fact that he actually had such a fiancée.
Qi Yuning entered the Purple Palace.
Emperor Shi Yuan repeatedly said, "Don't be polite, Yuning. I'm so sorry. Yun'er is really an ignorant child. Don't worry, if you don't let him return to secular life, he will never return to secular life in this lifetime!"
Qi Yuning said, "Your Majesty, I came here today not because of Lu Yun, but because Master Lu's future wife called me a dog in public!"
Emperor Shi Yuan was extremely angry. He picked up the inkstone in front of him and threw it at Lu Ze. This was the first time that Emperor Shi Yuan was angry at Lu Ze, his eldest grandson whom he had doted on since childhood.
Lu Zelian knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty."
Emperor Shi Yuan looked at Lu Ze in extreme anger and said, "This kingdom of mine was founded by Prince Qi. Without the Qi family, I wouldn't have the throne I have today, much less your wealth and glory. But you, on the other hand, allowed your own brother to become a monk, causing Yuning to be ridiculed. You also allowed your unmarried wife to abuse Yuning. How can I face old Prince Qi a hundred years from now..."
Emperor Shi Yuan stopped talking mid-sentence and said, "When did you get a wife? How come I didn't know anything about such a big thing? A woman who speaks nonsense like this cannot be your wife."
Lu Ze said, "She's the sixth daughter of Guan Chengyilang's family. She saved my grandmother in the temple, and my grandmother verbally arranged a marriage between us. It was just a verbal agreement, no ceremony had been held, and few people knew about it yet."
Emperor Shi Yuan frowned and said, "Is Madam Lu getting senile? How can the daughter of the Guan family be worthy of you?"
Qi Yuning said, "That Miss Guan Liu is as famous as Master Lu. There's a saying among the people that if you want to marry a woman, you should marry a girl from the Guan family, and if you want to marry a man, you should marry Master Lu. These two are a match made in heaven."
Emperor Shiyuan said, "Guan Chengyi has failed to educate his daughter properly and he must be dismissed and investigated. Sixth Miss Guan's words are disrespectful and unfit to be the wife of the Lu family's heir apparent!"
Qi Yuning smiled softly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but I think Miss Guan Liu is full of foul language and is a perfect match for the unrighteous young man from the Lu family. Your Majesty, please do not separate these loving couples."
Lu Ze raised his eyes and glanced at Qi Yuning.
Emperor Shiyuan said, "This marriage is not appropriate at all."
Qi Yuning said, "This marriage is very appropriate."
Emperor Shi Yuan did not discuss Lu Ze's marriage with Qi Yuning again, but just kept giving Qi Yuning rewards.
Qi Yuning got some rare jewelry in the palace. One of them was a phoenix crown made of exquisite gold wire, which was prepared by the Queen for the future Crown Princess. Lu Baozhu had coveted it for a long time but could never get it. Naturally, Qi Yuning had to show off the phoenix crown in front of Lu Baozhu.
Qi Yuning ignored the gatekeeper of the princess's mansion and went all the way to Lu Baozhu's courtyard.
Lu Baozhu threw stones into the lake and said to Qin Yuli beside her, "It's all your fault for coming up with such a bad idea. You told me to ask His Majesty to grant Qi Yuning and Lu Yun a marriage. Now look what happened. Lu Yun has implicated me and I'm under house arrest for two months."
Qin Yuli smiled slightly and said, "Then you don't know how bad Qi Yuning's reputation is now! The teahouses in Shengjing are all laughing at Princess Qi, saying that Princess Qi will never get married."
Lu Baozhu didn't laugh along with Qin Yuli. "It was clearly Lu Yun who did the wrong thing, why is he making fun of Qi Yuning?"
Qin Yuli smiled and said, "Haven't you always been at odds with Qi Yuning? Qi Yuning's reputation has been completely ruined, but you're actually unhappy about it?"
