As expected, the Prime Minister's wife blushed at her mockery: "What are you talking about? It's none of your business whether I look for my husband or not. Your husband is not as good as mine. It's because you are incompetent, it's because your husband is incompetent."
After saying this, the Prime Minister's wife rolled her eyes at the two of them. Her husband was the Prime Minister, and it was all thanks to her ability to find a husband that she found such a husband who was second only to the Prime Minister and above everyone else. They were blind, otherwise how could they be stepped on by her?
But she didn't expect that there were many people present who were not as good as her husband, and her words offended many people.
So those who had wanted to curry favor with her at first felt a chill in their hearts after hearing her words. It turned out that this was how the Prime Minister's wife viewed them. What was the point of them currying favor with her then?
Thinking of this, the eyes of these people looking at the Prime Minister's wife gradually became a little cold.
However, the Prime Minister's wife was still unaware of all this and was smugly engaging in a verbal battle with the two men.
"Although you are good at finding a husband, that doesn't mean you are that great. There are many women who are more capable than you. If you pick Madam Li and Madam Wang alone, which one of them is not better than you?" Madam Lu said coldly.
Among those present, anyone who had come into contact with the Prime Minister's wife knew that she was simple-minded and strong-limbed. The two wives that Madam Lu mentioned were both very cunning and naturally a hundred times better than her.
Unfortunately, if the Prime Minister's wife had any self-awareness, why would she deliberately argue with Madam Xu and Madam Lu during the palace banquet?
Just as she was about to continue fighting with the two men, she heard a sharp voice outside shouting, "The Queen has arrived!"
For a moment, no one cared about watching the fun and immediately returned to their seats, waiting for the Queen to enter the palace.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen, Her Majesty the Queen, may you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."
Deafening cheers rang out.
Su Mengyan gradually walked towards the high platform. When she was outside, she heard the noise inside and knew that something must have happened over there. But now these people suddenly became quiet. It seemed that they did not intend to continue this matter. However, she was also happy and comfortable, so she stopped asking questions and asked these people to stand up while sitting on the high seat.
The palace banquet went on smoothly.
The next day, Li Yuanmi ran to the Hehua Pond to practice singing at a fixed time every day as before.
Xu Chuchu had already found out when she would come, so she came here early and hid.
She came over earlier just to hear how beautiful Li Yuanmi's singing was.
As a result, she heard the sound of nature. Hiding behind the bushes, she gritted her teeth and became even more determined in her heart that she must make sure that this woman would never speak again.
Looking at the candied pears carried by the palace maid, Xu Chuchu sneered, "As long as you drink this, I wonder how you'll ever be able to speak again, or how you'll ever be able to attract others."
When the song ended, Xu Chuchu immediately left from behind the bushes and pretended to have just come over.
"I just heard a beautiful singing voice and came here. So it's you here. You were singing just now. It was so beautiful." Xu Chuchu said to Li Yuanmi with an innocent smile on her face.
If someone didn't know her, they would be confused by her expression at that moment.
Although Li Yuanmi didn't want to interact with other people, now that they had come to her, wouldn't it seem too rude if she didn't say a few words?
Then, Li Yuanmi bowed to Xu Chuchu and said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself, sister. I was just practicing, it doesn't count."
Li Yuanmi knew when to advance and when to retreat, and was polite, which made Xu Chuchu so angry that she gritted her teeth. There was a villain in her heart who kept shouting, "Damn woman, why are you pretending in front of me?"
The evil thoughts in her heart did not show on her face. Xu Chuchu showed a surprised expression on her face: "Oh my God, this is still a joke. I'd rather not live."
After she finished speaking, she chuckled. Li Eimi had no choice but to laugh along. However, her laughter was like a wind chime, clear and pleasant, which made Xu Chuchu's laughter look even more terrifying.
Xu Chuchu's face darkened for a moment, but she remembered her plan and smiled again: "You've been singing for such a long time, I think your throat must be a little thirsty. Here, this is the rock sugar and snow pear that I just brought back from the imperial kitchen. I'll give it to you to drink, just as a way to moisten your throat."
Seeing Xu Chuchu offering the Rock Sugar Snow Pear Drink to her, Li Aimi looked flattered. "You absolutely can't do that! This is my sister's favorite drink, how can you give it to me? I'll just order someone to get it from the imperial kitchen."
Unexpectedly, Li Eimi would actually refuse her. Xu Chuchu thought to herself, no matter whether she likes it or not, she will definitely not drink it. After all, it is just something with added ingredients.
Thinking of this, she chuckled again: "Sister, what are you talking about? It's just a bowl of rock sugar and snow pear. Sister has been practicing for so long, her throat must be thirsty. As someone who is anxious, this rock sugar and snow pear is naturally the best for you."
Having said that, she ignored Li Eimi's refusal and asked her maid to bring the candied pear to Li Eimi.
Looking at the rock sugar and snow pear water in the white porcelain bowl in front of her, Li Aimi raised the corners of her mouth.
"Sister, you are such a good person. I appreciate your kindness." After saying that, Li Yuanmi picked up the bowl of rock sugar and snow pear.
Yes, that's it, bitch, drink this bowl of rock sugar and snow pear quickly, and then you won't be able to speak again. Seeing Li Ai Mi holding up the bowl of rock sugar and snow pear, Xu Chuchu stared at it closely, and kept muttering in her heart, asking her to drink it quickly.
Seeing Xu Chuchu's somewhat anxious eyes, Li Aimi smiled slightly. This woman who suddenly appeared and forced a bowl of rock sugar and snow pears on her was now staring at her like this. It seemed that there was something else going on with this rock sugar and snow pears.
She is not a fool. How could she easily drink something given by a stranger, especially food?
Looking at the hoarse voice of the woman in front of her, Li Ai Mi suddenly understood what she was planning.
"Ah!" Suddenly Li Eimi's body swayed, her feet became unstable, and she fell to the ground. The white porcelain bowl in her hand also fell into the pond.
"Empress, are you okay?" The little palace maid beside Li Eimi was quick-witted and saw her master fall to the ground. She immediately ran forward and helped her master up.
