Several princes were sitting together.
King Lu leaned over and asked Yu Jian, "Seventh brother, how did your sister-in-law cure my thirteenth sister's eyes?"
Yu Jin glanced at King Lu indifferently.
Every time they get together they fight, and they never win. Where does Lao Wu get the courage to be so self-assured?
Lu Wangsi didn't care about Yu Jin's cold eyes at all, and said with a smile: "Tell me about it."
It is said that mentioning the Princess of Yan can easily arouse the Seventh Prince's anger. If the Seventh Prince gets mad in such a situation, he will surely be in trouble.
Yu Jin picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then played with the empty glass in silence.
Prince Lu said with a smug look on his face: "Why don't you say anything, Seventh Brother?"
Yu Jin twirled his wine glass and asked expressionlessly, "Do you want me to ask Fifth Sister-in-law if Fifth Brother hasn't been caring enough about her lately?"
King Lu touched his nose and immediately stopped.
Prince Xiang still harbored hatred for the blow he received on Yu Jin's lips during his wedding, and said indifferently, "Sister-in-law Qi is quite mysterious. She can even cure Sister-in-law Thirteen's eyes. Brother Qi should be more careful, don't be ignorant of Sister-in-law Qi's abilities."
The Prince of Xiang had always been at the bottom of the social ladder among all the princes. When the Seventh Prince, who had been raised outside the palace, finally came back, he thought he had someone who could suppress him. However, he suffered setbacks one after another, while the other prince lived freely.
This made me feel even more unbalanced, and my patience disappeared as soon as I met Yu Jin.
Yu Jin sneered, and glanced at the King of Xiang with a pair of phoenix eyes meaningfully: "I want to congratulate my eighth brother for knowing what my eighth brother's wife is capable of in the future. By the way, my eighth brother may not remember that the Zhu family case was handled by me..."
The King of Xiang's face suddenly turned pale and he slammed the wine glass on the table, which immediately attracted the attention of people around him.
King Qi called him "Eighth Brother" softly.
The King of Xiang then restrained the urge to punch Yu Jin in the face and took a deep breath.
Don't be impulsive. Don't be impulsive.
He was really pissed off. Old Seven had such a vicious mouth!
"Seventh brother is more eloquent than a woman. I have learned my lesson today." Prince Xiang lowered his voice and said sarcastically.
Yu Jinyun didn't care about his sarcasm and said calmly, "You said it as if you can beat him with a fight."
The King of Xiang was furious.
The King of Qi came out to smooth things over: "Seventh brother, Eighth brother is still young, don't bother with him."
Yu Jin rolled his eyes and didn't respond to the King's words.
In front of his brothers, King Qi felt a little embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
During this gap, Prince Xiang glanced in the direction of the female relatives.
The scope of today's family dinner was quite large. In addition to the concubines and princesses of high rank in the palace, all the princesses who were married in the capital and could come were present. Together with the eldest princess of the previous generation and many royal relatives, the table after table was very lively.
Princess Rongyang enjoyed status in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, so her position was naturally prominent.
He saw Cui Mingyue who was following Princess Rongyang.
The girl is 28 years old, bright and beautiful, with a gentle temperament, and it is difficult for people to feel bad about her when they see her.
Cui Mingyue seemed to realize something and suddenly looked over, and their eyes suddenly met.
Cui Mingyue suppressed her annoyance and smiled at King Xiang.
The King of Xiang immediately looked away, but his mood changed subtly.
Once upon a time, he actually dreamed of marrying a noble lady like Cui Mingyue.
Good looks, elegance and generosity, and more importantly, noble birth.
But he knew his own limitations and understood that Princess Rongyang was too proud to take a prince like him, whose mother was of humble origin, seriously.
These thoughts were driven away by reason. When Cui Mingyue and Zhu Ziyu had such a quarrel, if this marriage fell upon him, it would not be a joy, but a shame.
He is not a rag-and-bone person, and you stuff all the dirty and smelly things into his pocket without even asking?
After all, I still feel that he is easy to control and I have no right to comment.
However, Prince Xiang felt a little shaken when he thought about the girl who had just smiled at him tenderly.
Maybe she was just confused for a moment...
Cui Mingyue curled her lips slightly.
She had long known that it was not okay for her mother to be so tough with her father.
The human heart is not made of iron, especially a man's heart. It needs to be warmed with the tenderness of water. As long as you have patience, there is nothing that cannot be warmed.
But my mother is not like that.
On the one hand, she loved her father, but on the other hand, she couldn't let go of her status as a princess. Over the years, she and her father drifted further and further apart, and she was the one who suffered.
Why is this necessary?
In Cui Mingyue's view, Princess Rongyang is a fool, and she will never make the same mistake again.
So what if her reputation is flawed? Once she gets married, she will definitely win the heart of the King of Xiang.
After the empress and empress sat down, Emperor Jingming spoke first: "I am very happy today. Fuqing's eyes have recovered. From now on, Fuqing can see the beautiful scenery and all of you just like you. I will raise my glass to celebrate for Fuqing."
People in the palace raised their glasses and loudly congratulated Princess Fuqing for regaining her sight.
Seeing this scene, the queen couldn't help but burst into tears.
Her daughter would finally have the day to stand before the world and receive blessings, instead of withering away in the palace.
How could she not be excited?
At this moment, she was not a queen, but a mother.
After a brief moment of indulgence, the queen regained her proper smile and said, "Fuqing can see the light again, thanks to Princess Yan. I would like to offer a toast to Princess Yan."
Jiang Si bowed to the queen and said, "I am so lucky to be your daughter-in-law. The princess is kind, intelligent, and blessed. God cannot bear to see her suffer forever..."
At this point, people no longer had any doubts about whether Princess Yan's wife had cured Princess Fuqing's eyes.
They immediately had a new puzzlement: How did Princess Yan cure Princess Fuqing's eyes?
However, in this situation, no matter how many doubts there are, one can only keep them to oneself, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while.
Emperor Jingming laughed loudly and said, "We are all family. There are no so many rules today. You don't have to be restrained."
The scene immediately became lively.
The emperor has said so, so we have to get lively even if we feel restrained.
Princess Fuqing looked at all this curiously, but she felt she couldn't see enough.
The Queen patted Princess Fuqing's hand and said, "A Quan, do you want to sit next to your mother or go sit with your sisters?"
Princess Fuqing is the absolute protagonist of today. There is nothing wrong with her sitting next to the emperor and empress. Moreover, this is a family dinner and the emperor can let anyone he likes sit next to him.
Princess Fuqing couldn't help but look towards the unmarried princess.
A dozen girls dressed similarly sat around a large table, looking quite lively.
"Can I go there?"
"Of course, go ahead." The queen encouraged with a smile.
Princess Fuqing walked there with her skirt lifted.
The palace maids had already placed the chairs ready, and invited Princess Fuqing to sit down.
"Thirteenth sister, you have such beautiful eyes." The girl who spoke was about the same age as Princess Fuqing. Apple had a lively smile on her face. After praising her, she asked mischievously, "Thirteenth sister, guess who I am?"
Princess Fuqing looked at the girl seriously and said firmly, "Fifteenth sister."
