Chapter 114: Broken Leg
After saying that, he struck a pose that made it impossible to refuse.
"Okay, okay, let's go."
"Please, please."
Everyone was happy to let the matter go. After all, no one wanted to see the Duke's Mansion or Prince Fu's Mansion make a fool of themselves. It's not like they had nothing better to do.
Then Shang Ji went to the banquet place without even raising his eyes.
As for Shang Zhihe's miserable screams, they did not cause much waves in the huge Duke's Mansion.
Wei Taiwei looked at his departing back, feeling indignant.
But he also knew about the grudge between his daughter and Dongyuan, so he didn't hold much hope in Shang Ji, expecting that he would really vent his anger on He'er.
So he just snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the room where Shang Zhihe was shouting.
Prince Fu glanced at the Crown Prince and felt a little disappointed with him.
"En'er, we are family after all, why make such a fuss? Besides, before I came here, I told you not to provoke Shang Liulang easily. He is now a big shot in front of the emperor. If you provoke him, won't you be asking for trouble?"
Prince Fu refused to believe it and said with his neck stiff.
"Can a minister make father so afraid? Is this outrageous?"
"Shut up! Is he an ordinary minister? He is the commander-in-chief of the 400,000 Tiger Guards and he conquered all the thirteen cities in Cezhou. Do you still want to provoke him?"
After hearing this, Prince Fu was still cursing, but he was also a little scared in his heart.
After all, he is the one who kills without blinking an eye, so it is better to avoid provoking him in the future.
Seeing that his son's expression was calmer than before, Prince Fu spoke.
"Let's go and see He'er. You broke someone's leg for no reason. You should compensate me."
Prince Fu couldn't be tough with Shang Ji.
But Prince Fu still looked down upon Shang Zhihe or other people in the Duke's Mansion, and spoke with a stern expression.
"You must be dreaming. That kid is always trying to please mother, and he's made me lose mother's love. And he wants me to apologize? It would be best if he was loved to death."
After saying this, he ignored Prince Fu's shouting and walked out of the Duke's Mansion on his own.
With a team of palace guards following behind him, Prince Fu was not afraid that anything might happen to him.
After taking a look, I couldn't help but sigh.
When a son grows up, he is no longer under the control of his father.
After thinking about it, he decided not to rush over to apologize at this time. He decided to wait until the imperial physician arrived.
So, I changed direction and headed towards the place where the banquet was about to start.
The tables were divided into male and female seats, so after the men's seats in the front hall were opened, the tables in the flower hall were also opened soon after.
Mrs. Wei arranged for all the female members of the family to take their seats.
She had invited the tea and food restaurant, which specializes in preparing meals for princes and nobles, to prepare today's banquet.
Therefore, it is very delicate and looks delicious.
At the main table, Princess Yuehua sat in the center, with Madam Wei and Princess Fu on her left and right.
Silang's wife, eldest sister-in-law Liu, Du Jingyi, and eighth sister Xueniang and Shang Zhiyin were also there.
No matter how badly they quarreled on weekdays, none of the formal masters of the Duke's Mansion could be absent from today's scene.
As for the eldest lady of the Wei family, Madam Xing, Wei Jialian and others, no matter how close they were to them, they could only sit at the next table.
When Mrs. Wei saw Du Jingyi, she couldn't help feeling annoyed.
She was very calm and composed, not at all as timid as Dong Yuan had been before.
Then he glanced at his daughter, Princess Fu, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
With Princess Yuehua here, today we must humiliate Dongyuan's reputation.
So what if she is the general's wife? In front of the princess, doesn't she have to bow and salute?
Princess Fu knew her mother's intention, and she had just looked into the eyes of Du Jingyi, so she was also somewhat interested.
So he opened his mouth and asked.
"This must be Mrs. Du whom Liu Lang married three years ago."
When Du Jingyi heard Princess Fu calling her, she was not in a hurry.
After standing up, he bowed to the person in the lead and said.
"I greet Princess Yuehua and Princess Fu."
Princess Yuehua nodded and said.
"She looks pretty and well behaved. She's a good match for General Shang."
With Shang Ji's current prestige in the court, even though she is a princess, she would still be wary of him.
She is not stupid, she will not go to demonstrate right away.
Instead of getting the humiliation that Mrs. Wei wanted, she wanted to speak up and help to embarrass Du Jingyi.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Unexpectedly, Aunt Jiao came hurriedly, and it could be seen that she looked very nervous.
Afterwards, without caring about etiquette, he whispered a few words into her ear.
When Princess Yuehua saw this, her face darkened slightly.
After all, she was still talking the moment before, and the next moment a servant who didn't know the rules came.
But she soon noticed that Mrs. Wei's expression was much uglier than hers.
His teeth clenched suddenly and his arms shook slightly, so Princess Yuehua asked curiously.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Mrs. Wei was sweating profusely.
My grandson's leg was broken by his grandson's grandson. It's a shameful thing no matter how you talk about it.
If I tell it now, wouldn't it be a joke to Dongyuan? And I certainly can't let myself be inferior to Princess Yuehua.
So, he could only suppress the discomfort in his heart and spoke to Princess Yuehua.
"It's just a small matter. Please don't disturb the princess's meal. Silang's wife, please follow Madam Jiao to take a look."
Silang's wife also felt strange being called out suddenly.
But she had never disobeyed her mother-in-law's words, so she got up and left.
After she left, Mrs. Wei had to pretend to be calm and continue to greet everyone while looking at them.
Originally, he had the idea of making things difficult for Dong Yuan in front of Princess Yuehua.
But now, all she can think about is whether her grandson's leg can be saved .
Everything hurts.
Du Jingyi and his sister-in-law Liu looked at each other and seemed to have figured out the problem.
But since Madam Wei didn't say anything, they didn't want to make a fuss and ask about it, so they just chatted with Princess Yuehua about some harmless gossip.
"I heard about General Shang's achievements when I was in Yizhou. He lived up to the trust of Marshal Gu and protected the people of Cezhou very well."
If Madam Xing had said these words to Princess Yuehua, Du Jingyi would have felt happy and might even have praised her a few more times.
But the words came from the princess' mouth, so no matter whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally, Du Jingyi did not dare to take credit for it.
So he stood up and said to Princess Yuehua, "I thank you for your praise on behalf of my husband, but no matter how great the general's achievements are, they were all accomplished under the orders of Your Majesty. It is the general's luck and Your Majesty's grace to be able to guard the border for Daxing."
Princess Yuehua couldn't help but smile when she heard her words.
I can't tell any expression on his face.
After a while, she spoke to Princess Fu beside her.
"There are really many hidden talents in the Duke's Mansion. Look, you have a new brother-in-law who is good at speaking."
