Chapter 296 Protecting Shortcomings



Gao Zhijun felt warm and touched by the protection of the wife of the Minister of Revenue. This is the so-called love from family.

"Grandma, don't ruin your health over these insignificant people. It's not worth it."

Gao Zhijun immediately went over to comfort the wife of the Minister of Revenue.

The Zhenbei King's family had not arrived yet. Otherwise, with how much Liu Ningchu loved her daughter, the three women would not have been scolded by the Shangshu's wife, but would have been torn to pieces by her own hands.

She will tear apart anyone who dares to bully her daughter.

"Okay, grandma, don't be angry."

The wife of the Minister of Revenue said happily.

This granddaughter is so heartwarming, much better than her own granddaughter.

When the wives of the Minister of Justice and others heard this, their faces sometimes turned black, sometimes red, like a palette, which was very funny.

At this time, Liu Ningchu brought Wei Qingyan in and saw that her mother's face looked bad. Her daughter seemed to be comforting her. The three ladies next to her also looked bad. It must be that something unpleasant had happened just now.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Ningchu asked the wife of the Minister of Revenue anxiously.

"It's okay, I'm just mad at them."

The wife of the Minister of Revenue said angrily.

"Sister-in-law, what's going on? Why is mother so angry?"

Liu Ningchu asked the noble lady who was standing next to the wife of the Minister of Revenue and trying to persuade her.

This noble lady is Peng Wenhuan, the wife of Liu Ningchu's second brother. She comes from a military family and is the legitimate daughter of General Huaiyang. She has a bold and unrestrained personality.

Liu Ningchu likes his sister-in-law very much, probably because they are both military generals.

"Aunt, it's because they said bad things about my niece that mother is so angry."

Peng Wenhuan told Liu Ningchu everything that had just happened.

She envied her aunt for having such an extremely smart, well-behaved and clever daughter.

Her daughter is simply a tomboy. She likes to stay in the military camp all day, playing with swords and guns with those tough soldiers. She doesn't look like a lady at all.

"How can this be? The princess is not someone you can discuss. Do you not respect the emperor, or do you not respect this princess?"

Liu Ningchu said angrily.

She treated her daughter as her precious daughter and was reluctant to speak out loudly, but they dared to slander her and say bad things about her.

It’s true that dad can tolerate it, but mom can’t.

"Princess Zhenbei, we didn't know she was Princess Xiangyun, let alone your daughter. If I knew, I wouldn't dare to tell you even if I had ten guts."

The wife of the Minister of Works was trembling with fear and hurried to explain. At the same time, she felt resentment towards the wife of the Minister of War. If she hadn't been so nosy, she wouldn't have offended Princess Xiangyun or Princess Zhenbei.

The other ladies thought the same as the wife of the Minister of Works. They all hated the wife of the Minister of War for being nosy.

Because of her, they offended Princess Xiangyun and Princess Zhenbei.

When I returned home, I had no idea how my master would deal with me.

Those ladies were all nervous, and Liu Ningchu's words made them blush even more, and they dared not refute.

"Mom, forget it. Let's not bother with them. The party will start soon."

Gao Zhijun didn't want to cause trouble at her own banquet, so she tried to calm Liu Ningchu down and hoped she wouldn't be angry.

"Today, I, the princess, will not bother with you for the sake of my daughter. If it happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Liu Ningchu scolded the wife of the Minister of Works and others mercilessly, without caring about their face at all. They told them to speak ill of her precious daughter, so they shouldn't blame her for not giving them face.

"We won't dare to do that again!"

The wife of the Minister of Works and others said in unison.

They didn't dare to refute anymore, for fear of offending Princess Xiangyun and Princess Zhenbei, and their masters would tear them apart.

Gao Zhijun pulled Liu Ningchu back to her seat, and persuaded and comforted her in a soft voice, hoping that she could calm down.

After his daughter's persuasion, Liu Ningchu's anger subsided and his complexion returned to normal.

Seeing this, Gao Zhijun said goodbye to Liu Ningchu and returned to her seat.

Zhuang Die, Zhang Chan, Hong Qiujue and others were anxiously waiting for Gao Zhijun to come back.

They also wanted to help, but they were all powerless civilians and could only sit here because of Gao Zhijun.

Since they can't help, they shouldn't hold her back, let alone cause her trouble.

So, they could only sit here and wait anxiously.

Gao Zhijun saw their expressions and knew that they were angry, so she comforted them and calmed them down. Soon it was time for the banquet.

"The Emperor, the Empress Dowager, the Consort Dowager, and the Empress have arrived!"

Suddenly, outside the Baohe Hall, Eunuch Zhang shouted loudly!

Then, the emperor and the empress supported the empress dowager and the imperial concubine respectively and walked into the hall, followed by the crown prince, the crown princess and the concubines, and then the princes and princesses.

Everyone entered the hall and found their seats and sat down.

The emperor helped the empress dowager to walk up to the dragon throne. He sat on the dragon throne, with the empress dowager on his left, the concubine dowager on his right, and the queen next to him.

Sitting in the back row were concubines.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empress Dowager and the Empress!"

"Your Majesty, your humble servant, pays homage to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress. Long live the Emperor! A thousand years, a ...

"Your humble servant pays respects to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, the Consort Dowager, and the Empress. Long live the Emperor! A thousand years, a ...

"Everyone, please stand up!"

The emperor waved his hand and asked them to stand up.

"Thank you, Lord!"

After bowing in thanks, the ministers all stood up.

The second prince was about to get angry when he saw a strange man sitting in his seat, but was stopped by the look of Crown Prince Ling Xi.

"Second brother, this is Master Huo, Father's distinguished guest. Father arranged for him to sit here. Please come and sit for a while. Don't make trouble and upset Father!"

The prince explained and introduced Huo Jinqian's identity.

Because the eldest princess only loved the empress and disliked socializing or visiting with the concubines in the palace, many concubines had never met the eldest princess or her son. Even the princes and princesses had never met the eldest princess, and therefore could not recognize that the man in front of them was the eldest princess's son.
