When the Second Prince heard that it was his father who arranged this, he dared not speak out in anger, and could only say awkwardly, "Your Highness, you are joking. My younger brother is not that kind of person. Master Huo, just sit back and relax."
"I'm sorry, Second Prince. How about I give my seat back to you?"
When Huo Jinqian heard that the seat he was sitting in was for the Second Prince, he immediately stood up and wanted to give the seat back to the Second Prince.
Even if his identity was made public, he couldn't sit here and occupy the position of the second prince.
"That's all right! Since it's Father's arrangement, just sit back and relax. I can just sit a little further back."
After the second prince finished speaking, he walked to the third prince's seat and waited for him to give up his throne.
"Master Huo, please sit down and relax. This is what the emperor wants. Don't let him down."
The prince also persuaded Huo Jinqian.
"I will respectfully obey your command."
Huo Jinqian had no choice but to agree.
This was an intentional arrangement by the emperor's uncle, and he couldn't let him down.
The third prince also heard the crown prince's words and tactfully moved back. He was just curious about Huo Jinqian, his identity, and his relationship with his father.
After the Emperor took his seat, he glanced over here. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he could at least guess a few things. Finally, when he saw the Second Prince sit back, he stopped looking here and turned to look at the women.
It's not as easy to talk to the women as it is to talk to the men.
When the Second Princess saw that her position was taken by a woman, she was furious and was about to lose her temper and punish Gao Zhijun.
"Who are you? How dare you sit in my princess's seat? Come, drag this ignorant woman down and beat her to death. And her family too."
The Second Princess arrogantly scolded Gao Zhijun and ordered her to be beaten to death.
She never takes human life seriously and does whatever she wants. In her eyes, human life is like a lowly ant that can be trampled on by anyone.
The maidservant beside the Second Princess immediately stepped forward and was about to capture Gao Zhijun.
After hearing this, some of the imperial guards guarding outside the palace also ran in, wanting to take Gao Zhijun and the others away so as not to disturb the other guests at the banquet.
"How dare you? I, the Crown Princess, see who dares."
The Crown Princess forgot to tell the Second Princess that it was her father's idea to place Princess Xiangyun here. Now that she saw the Second Princess actually had the princess beaten to death, she was also furious and scolded her angrily.
"Second Princess, the person before you is Princess Xiangyun. Her sitting here was also Father's wish. Are you still going to cause trouble?"
The Crown Princess scolded the Second Princess.
This woman is arrogant and domineering. She never thinks before doing anything and always does it based on her own preferences.
If they were the family members of ordinary ministers, how would they dare to sit here? Isn't that seeking death?
When the Second Princess heard that it was Princess Xiangyun, the emperor's favorite, she was unwilling to let her position be taken away by her, but she could only bear it in her heart.
She can be arrogant and domineering, and look down on others, but she must listen to the emperor's words.
She is not yet able to defy the imperial order and the emperor, and cannot harm her family.
"It's my fault. I hope Crown Princess and Sister Xiangyun won't hold it against me."
The Second Princess apologized to the Crown Princess and Gao Zhijun, hoping that they could forgive her reckless behavior just now.
"Second sister-in-law, you are too kind. It is my younger sister who has overstepped her bounds. Please do not blame me. After all, this is what our father intended, and I cannot disobey him."
Gao Zhijun didn't take the incident seriously. After all, they were insignificant people, so why should she take it to heart? She was a cold-hearted person to begin with. If she hadn't run into the Huo family, the Sun family, and the original owner's parents, who taught her how to behave through words and deeds, with her previous life's temperament, she would have glared at them coldly by now.
"Princess, you are right. This is my fault. Why don't you apologize to the princess?"
The Second Princess was arrogant and domineering at first, but then she became like a deflated balloon, apologizing to Gao Zhijun and angrily scolding the palace maids and nannies who had just wanted to attack Gao Zhijun, asking them to apologize to Gao Zhijun.
"I am blind and have offended the princess. Please forgive me, princess."
"I am blind and have offended the princess. Please forgive me!"
The palace maids and the royal guards were trembling with fear and quickly knelt down to apologize to Gao Zhijun and confess their guilt, hoping that Gao Zhijun would be given a lighter sentence.
When Gao Zhijun saw the people kneeling in front of her, they were so scared that they were shaking like a sieve.
"No problem! Ignorance is not a crime."
Gao Zhijun didn't want to make things difficult for the emperor. After all, the Second Princess was his daughter-in-law and a member of the royal family.
If the Second Princess makes a fool of herself, it is also a foolish act for the entire royal family and the Emperor.
"Thank you, Princess Xiangyun!"
The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief and immediately expressed her gratitude.
"Although the princess has spared you, every family has its own rules, and every country has its own regulations. You have committed a serious offense by insubordination. If I don't punish you, where will the princess's dignity be? Where will the royal dignity be? The death penalty can be spared, but the punishment of life cannot be escaped. Each of you will be caned twenty times. The same goes for the royal guards who just came over. Each of them will receive thirty sticks. This is a small punishment, but a big warning."
The Crown Princess was not as easy to talk to as Gao Zhijun. These servants actually wanted to teach Princess Xiangyun a lesson in front of her, and they simply didn't take her seriously.
The Second Princess is a member of the royal family, so it is not easy for her to punish her, but she still has the power to punish these servants.
"Slave, I accept the punishment!"
"The maids and nannies," the imperial guards said gratefully. "They were afraid the Crown Princess would kill them. It was just a caning punishment. After the beating, the pain would last for a few days, then it would heal." They all felt relieved.
The Second Princess clenched her fists in anger, her heart itching with hatred. This Crown Princess was too disrespectful to her. These were all her people, and punishing her people in front of her was like a slap in her face.
When beating a dog, you should always look at the owner. This princess is such a bad person.
