Chapter 434 This King is Stingy
"The Queen has only arranged a palace banquet tonight?" Fu Zhaoning asked calmly, "Will you not care about Princess Nanci after today?"
No one knew why Fu Zhaoning suddenly asked this question.
The queen was also stunned for a moment, and of course she immediately denied it. How could she be so cold to Princess Nanci who came from afar? Even if she wanted to save face, she couldn't just have a palace banquet tonight.
"Of course not."
Before the queen finished speaking, Fu Zhaoning asked back in confusion, "Then why did the queen want to get rid of the princess just now? Did I misunderstand?"
Phew.
I don't know who couldn't hold back their laughter and then quickly tried to hold it back again, but the atmosphere was somewhat different.
Fu Zhaoning glanced over and saw Madam Ren translating words to Princess Nanci. However, judging from her expression, she seemed to be a little hesitant, and the translation probably wasn't very smooth. Princess Nanci looked a little puzzled.
"Princess Jun, I just saw that you and the princess hit it off right away and wanted you two sisters to get along well. When did I ever say I would leave her behind?" The queen was almost mad to death.
She hadn't seen Fu Zhaoning for a while, and almost forgot that this dead girl had a knife in her mouth.
"How come the Queen still has the habit of finding relatives for others? My Fu family is poor, and now there are only the elderly and weak in the family. Many people in the capital look down on my family. But you are so good that you want Princess Nanci to change my surname to Fu. What do you think the princess is?"
Fu Zhaoning's words almost made others burst out laughing.
Princess Jun didn't mention her family's misfortune at all. It seemed that she knew that everyone in the capital looked down on the Fu family and wanted to laugh at her.
However, the Queen's word "sisters" originally meant that the princess and Princess Jun were considered one family and that they should marry Prince Jun together. But after Princess Jun twisted it in this way, it became very funny.
"Princess Jun!"
The queen kept persuading herself in her heart not to get angry, not to be led by Fu Zhaoning, and not to lose her composure because of a few words, but it was really difficult.
She couldn't help but make her words more explicit with a bit of malice.
"I'm not talking about the Fu family! Your parents who fled for fear of crime have no right to recognize a daughter like the princess! Don't always think of yourself as the eldest daughter of the Fu family. You are already married, you are already married, and you are now Princess Jun!"
So this word "sisters" is of course said from Prince Jun's perspective.
"Oh, the Queen wants me to be a good mistress of Prince Jun's Mansion? She wants me to remember to act like a royal princess? Then I'll remember. We are a family. If the princess and I become sisters, then it means the princess is the Queen's sister. We are all a family."
Fu Zhaoning asked innocently, "But Queen, you are the oldest and have the highest status, so you are the eldest sister?"
"Fu Zhaoning!"
The emperor really couldn't help himself and shouted angrily.
What kind of nonsense is this?
Who wants to be the eldest sister?
"You and I are just sisters-in-law! How can sisters-in-law be sisters?"
"Then I thought that the Queen felt that being as close as sisters was a warm expression. We are all family, so there is no need to be too calculating."
Fu Zhaoning looked at the emperor, "Right, Your Majesty?"
What a joke.
The emperor almost wanted to swear.
"Princess Jun, please stop being unreasonable."
Fu Zhaoning felt wronged, "Why is it that the Queen can recognize sisters for me, but it's unreasonable for me to help the Queen recognize sisters as well?"
Prince Jun seemed to be kind enough to help her clear up her confusion at this time.
He said lazily, "Ningning, don't you understand such a simple truth? Because she is the queen, her status is higher than yours, she can talk nonsense, but you can't."
Fu Zhaoning suppressed his laughter and said, "Oh, I understand now."
Prince Jun continued, "But I don't agree with her recognizing you as a sister."
"Why don't you agree?" Fu Zhaoning didn't expect him to say that, and asked curiously.
Everyone also looked at Prince Jun.
Why didn't Prince Jun agree? Didn't he see how beautiful Princess Nanci was? As a man, he would definitely like to hug her. Princess Nanci and Fu Zhaoning were the two most beautiful women present. If both of them became his, wow, wow, wow, it would be such a beautiful thing that would make one's nose bleed.
All the men present were envious.
Prince Jun said lazily, "Because I don't want more people to call me brother-in-law. They will give me New Year's money during the New Year, and I am very stingy."
"puff."
This time someone couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Even the Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh.
Fu Zhaoning raised an eyebrow at Xiao Lanyuan. He spoke as if it were true.
The Queen said angrily, "Prince Jun, you know that this is not what I meant—"
"What does the Queen mean?" Prince Jun interrupted her in a low voice, his tone cold, "The Emperor has promised my father not to interfere in my private affairs. Are you trying to control Prince Jun's Mansion?"
This is what I said——
The queen's expression suddenly changed.
The Emperor had left a will, and it was up to him to decide Prince Jun's marriage! So it was true that the Emperor had never forced him before, and everyone had been secretly pressuring him, or tacitly agreeing to bring him and Song Yunyao together, but no one dared to grant the marriage directly.
Now the Queen wants to put Princess Nanci into Prince Jun’s Mansion. Does she have more power than the Emperor?
"I definitely didn't mean that. Prince Jun misunderstood."
The queen's tone softened now. Although her expression was stiff, her soft tone clearly showed her intention to give in and beg for mercy.
"That would be best if there isn't one, so that I don't have to worry and think that the Queen thinks that my illness is not serious enough and wants to stimulate me more so that I can die sooner." Prince Jun said.
These words made the emperor and the empress dowager's faces change.
The emperor had to speak up at this time.
"The Queen really likes Princess Nanci. All right, my dear ministers, please sit down."
After hearing the emperor's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sat down. The palace banquet had just begun, and it was already so scary, they couldn't relax.
But they once again witnessed Princess Jun's courage.
And she has Prince Jun protecting her so much, and he can directly give up the Queen's face for her, so what is there to be afraid of? Didn't you see that the Emperor had to smooth things over?
Over there, Wang Dalang and Mrs. Ren exchanged glances quietly.
Princess Nanci's attention is now entirely on Prince Jun and his wife.
"Tell me about Prince Jun," she said to Madam Ren.
Madam Ren has been feeling really proud these days. It is such an honor to be able to be by Princess Nanci's side and now sit in front of many high-ranking officials and noble ladies at palace banquets.
She quickly told Princess Nanci about Prince Jun, but her Nanci dialect was only so-so and she couldn't speak most of it, so she spoke haltingly.
