Chapter 107: Indiscriminate AoE damage? Yue Fei uses her ultimate
"The Yue Concubine has arrived—"
He Zhaojun followed Concubine Yue to the family banquet. Concubine Yue stopped in front of Princess Ruyang and looked down at her: "Auntie, this is my seat, please make way."
Princess Ruyang looked her up and down and said, "Aren't you going to stay? You don't usually attend family dinners." As she spoke, she glanced at He Zhaojun who was following behind Concubine Yue, and she immediately became furious.
"Is it the Concubine Yue you invited? When Yuchang went looking for Zisheng, were you the one who stood outside to stop him for Cheng? Those who are close to her are probably just like Cheng, vulgar and superficial."
He Zhaojun still looked the same: "Your servant is terrified."
But there was no fear on her face, instead she looked a bit like she deserved a beating: "Princess Ruyang is right, those who keep company with vermilion will become red, those who keep company with ink will become black."
"Prince Ruyang is obsessed with cultivating the Dao all day long, so Princess Yuchang must be following in her grandfather's footsteps, hoping to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven soon. She is naturally different from someone like me who is superficially obsessed with worldly pleasures."
Princess Ruyang felt so hurt that she felt dizzy with anger and pointed at him: "You!"
Concubine Yue stepped in front of He Zhaojun and said, "Someone, give Princess Ruyang a seat." Two palace maids hurriedly moved the table and cushions and put them aside. Everyone had different expressions, waiting to see her reaction. After a while, Princess Ruyang had no choice but to stand up and give up her seat.
"This... Concubine Yue, Princess Ruyang is the elder after all." He Zhaojun pretended to be innocent and asked questions deliberately, as if she had no idea about the palace etiquette.
Concubine Yue glanced at her and said, "Speaking of elders, my aunt is even more of an elder to Your Majesty. So, do you want her to sit in Your Majesty's seat?"
He Zhaojun lowered her head and said, "I am terrified."
Princess Ruyang was speechless, her eyes like knives, almost piercing He Zhaojun to pieces. But He Zhaojun pretended not to see it, and walked to the side and sat down leisurely, with only four words written on her face.
Don't be afraid.
She listened quietly to Concubine Yue scolding the Third Princess, saying she would take away her fiefdom and slaves. She also scolded the Second Princess, and if she said any more, she would wish her to give birth to a daughter as stupid as the Third Princess. She also scolded the Crown Princess, saying she would teach her how to do things after she became the Queen.
He Zhaojun looked at her nose, her mouth, and her conscience, lowering her head and pretending to be a quail. It didn't matter. Anyway, at the beginning of the game, she had been lightly scolded by Concubine Yue, and the scolding was not directed at her, so she was safe now.
"Are you Zisheng's new bride?" Concubine Yue glanced at Shaoshang who was sitting in front of her. He Zhaojun came to her senses and listened attentively.
Shao Shang was scolded for a few times, and he recalled the days when he was scolded by his mother at the Cheng family. She was always criticized, but his mother always praised the girls from other families. But Concubine Yue was treated equally in her eyes, and everyone had some problems.
This was considered fair treatment. Shao Shang didn't feel a bit wronged even though she was scolded. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at He Zhaojun, but she met He Zhaojun's concerned expression. They smiled at each other.
I only heard Concubine Yue scolding the Fifth Princess so much that she left the table. At the end, she added that she was too soft-hearted and liked to indulge her children.
He Zhaojun almost couldn't hold back her laughter and laughed out loud.
If she likes to indulge children, no children in the world will survive.
Before the story of their parents and elders was told, the princess and her husband were forced to leave the table. When the story of Zisheng's parents came up, the other princes were also driven out. He Zhaojun naturally knew the whole story, so she had no curiosity about it.
She was walking out when someone suddenly called her from behind: "Zhaojun."
He Zhaojun turned around and saw that it was the Third Prince. She quickly bowed and saluted: "Your Highness the Third Prince, your servant greets you." There was no change in her expression, but her look revealed vigilance, extreme respect, and extreme distance.
Wen Ziduan finally had the right to reach out and help her up: "You and I are an engaged couple, so there's no need to be so polite."
He Zhaojun continued to bow her head and pretend to be dead: "Your servant is terrified."
"Zhaojun, I proposed to you rashly without consulting you. I was wrong." Wen Ziduan apologized solemnly.
He Zhaojun raised her eyebrows, still with the same expression: "You and I are an engaged couple, so there is no need to be so polite."
Do you know that I also have a profession called Onmyoji?
