After drinking too much water and wine, Yu'er had to go to the bathroom. Her bright eyes turned and she tugged at the sleeve of the man next to her, indicating that she wanted to go out for a while.
The couple had a great understanding and knew each other just by looking into each other's eyes.
Hu Yanlie wanted to accompany him, but Yu'er looked around thoughtfully and shook his head to indicate that he didn't need to go.
She followed the palace maid behind her and quietly walked out of the hall.
Not long after she left, the inconspicuous little palace maid ran behind the screen in the main hall and whispered to Princess Li, who had been fanning herself and waiting for who knows how long.
When the female members of the royal family saw Princess Li get up and leave after hearing something, they didn't say much. They were just glad that this unruly princess had finally left.
Zhong Lier had already instructed the palace servants to keep an eye on Yu'er and report any unusual movements at any time.
After hearing the palace servant report that she had left the hall, she rushed to block the person without any delay.
After using the toilet, Yu'er followed the palace maid who led the way and turned around many times, and finally met Princess Li who was waiting there on purpose in a corner of the garden.
Princess Li took after her mother Concubine Ming in her early years and was also quite beautiful.
However, a person's facial features will change with the changes in the environment. Princess Li has had a bad relationship and a bad life in recent years, and her appearance has also been tainted with a mean look.
Yu'er looked at the noble lady who suddenly jumped out and blocked her way. She had no flesh on her cheeks and her eyes were harsh and sharp. She was not someone who was easy to get along with.
She stopped and waited for someone to make way, but the man just stood there, looking at her coldly without saying a word.
Yu'er was sure that she had never seen this noble lady, so how could she offend her? But this person had "I'm here to settle the score with you" written all over her body.
Yu'er was a little confused. She didn't want to delay, so she spoke first to interrupt the stagnant situation.
"I wonder which royal relative or daughter of the royal family you are in the palace? Is there anything you need waiting for here?"
Zhong Lier swore that she had never been jealous of others, but now she couldn't help but be jealous of Yu'er who was two steps away.
Why is the person in front of her so beautiful? Why can she be so charming and charming that she can be favored by the Northern Hu Chanyu for many years with her outstanding beauty?
The couple lived in harmony, she had a daughter, a husband and rights, but she was different from her husband because of something that happened in her early years. She had no sons or daughters, and her later years were predictably miserable.
She, a princess, lived such a miserable life, how could the lowly maidservant who replaced her to marry be so lucky?
Princess Li is jealous of Yu'er's beauty. Selfish people never look for reasons in themselves, but only blame others.
Zhong Lier is such a person.
She snorted coldly with disdain, then spoke condescendingly to Yu'er.
"Isn't it all thanks to me that you have achieved what you have today?"
"Why! Thanks to my master's leap into the sky, you can't even recognize me. Could it be that after becoming the queen of the Northern Hu Kingdom, you've forgotten your own name and surname?"
Yuer: “Ha!”
She was confused. Looking at the woman in front of her who was talking to herself in a benevolent manner, Yu'er roughly guessed who she was based on her words.
Yu'er: "Are you the Princess Li who ran away from her marriage?"
Yu'er looked down on Princess Li who ran away from her marriage back then, and she looks down on her even more now.
As a princess who enjoys the whole country's support, grew up in luxury, and lived in fine clothes and delicious food, how can she abandon the obligations she has assumed while enjoying this honor?
Princess Li abandoned her obligations and continued to do as she pleased, regardless of the fact that her actions could not be handled properly and could even easily provoke disputes between the two countries.
If I hadn't gone there myself, I would have worked hard to improve people's livelihood on the grassland and actively built a trade relationship between the two countries.
I'm afraid the two countries would have already started fighting. When the country prospers, the people will suffer, and when the country perishes, the people will suffer. Wouldn't it be the ordinary people like them who will suffer then?
The royal princess is heartless. She eats what she is supposed to eat and drinks what she is supposed to drink. I wonder how good her life is.
Whenever she thought of this, the good-tempered Yu'er felt upset.
Before she could say anything, Princess Li, who felt humiliated, could no longer stand.
"What do you mean? A lowly maid is a lowly maid. She acts like a good girl after getting an advantage."
"If this princess didn't really despise the Northern Barbarians, how could a commoner like you, a maidservant, be crowned a princess and marry into the family? And now you're challenging me?"
She is so stubborn. Yuer never expected that she still hasn't realized her mistake until now.
Not wanting to waste time arguing with Zhong Lier, Yuer turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing the evasive attitude, Zhong Lier was so angry that she took two steps forward and grabbed Yu'er's hand as she turned around and wanted to leave.
"Ah, what do you mean? You're so annoying even talking to me. Did I hit a sore spot?"
"Indeed, you are just a lowly servant. Seeing me is a constant reminder of your lowly status. It reminds you that all you have now are things that slipped through my fingers and I didn't want them."
Yu'er turned around and was about to leave and swore that this was the first woman she had ever met who felt so good about herself.
Immersed in my own world, I have my own reasons, and whatever others say is bullshit.
Don’t say it, really don’t say it, such extremely self-centered and selfish people often live very well.
The two of them were pulling and tugging, one wanted to leave and the other wanted to stay.
One is Princess Dagan, the younger sister of the current emperor, and the other is the Queen Mother of the Northern Hu Kingdom, who was also Princess Mingzhu canonized by the previous emperor.
The palace maids on both sides did not dare to offend anyone, nor did they dare to start pulling. They could only watch anxiously as the two nobles pulled and tugged in an unruly manner.
"Let go!"
"I won't let go. If you tell me to, I will. I won't let go because it's not for my dignity."
…
Hu Yanlie was worried because he didn't see his wife return for a long time, so he took people out to look for her several times.
A group of people hurriedly saw the two people pulling each other on the path in the garden. The man, who was eager to protect his wife, had no time to take a closer look.
He strode forward hurriedly and pushed away Princess Li who was pulling and tugging at him.
Ignoring others, he put his arm around his wife's waist and looked at her carefully.
From top to bottom, from bottom to top, back and forth several times.
Unable to find even a single scratch on his wife's body, Hu Yanlie, feeling worried, began to look for trouble.
"Are your Dagan rules so rude and ignorant?"
"Due to diplomatic relations between our two countries, this Chanyu has traveled thousands of miles to congratulate the Emperor of Dagan on his ascension to the throne. As a distinguished guest from another country, is this the way Dagan, known as a nation of etiquette, treats its guests?"
"I have really learned a lesson this time!"
She was pushed backwards by someone. If the palace servant behind her had not been quick to help her, Zhong Lier was sure that she would have fallen flat on her face.
Just as the dizziness had settled down, Princess Li was suddenly reprimanded. She almost died of anger because she failed to find any fault and ended up in big trouble.
He was so angry that he was breathing out of his nostrils. Looking at Hu Yanlie who was speaking harshly in front of him, he protected Yu'er in his arms very tenderly.
Seeing how harmonious and loving they were as a couple, Zhong Lier was so jealous that she thought of herself and her husband who were not in harmony but had been in a cold war for many years.
