Chapter 497 She spoke softly and made specious arguments
. The news soon reached the palace.
Emperor Ying Qian leaned against the dragon throne, like a faded empty shell of a crown. The memorials on the desk
were piled up like a dilapidated building. The imperial pen hung above the inscription of "Peaceful Seas and Clear Rivers", and the ink solidified into a dying fly.
"Idiot!"
Emperor Ying Qian put down his pen, and the disgust in his eyes could not be hidden.
"How could a good fundraising be messed up?"
He sent people to pay attention to the movements below.
Something that has only benefits and no harm. I thought the fifth daughter-in-law was a smart person, but she was also incapable of taking on a big responsibility.
She sent out the invitations early, had her own little thoughts, and wished that everyone knew what she was busy with. It was nothing.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see the intention of the fifth imperial concubine.
If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. How many people really do not seek rewards?
But she was dumped by Yao Ru, and pointed out to her face, which became a criticism.
"She still has the nerve to faint?"
The eunuch who came to deliver the message knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty doesn't know that after the Fifth Imperial Concubine fainted, there was no one to host the banquet. Only female relatives came. Even if the Fifth Prince hurried back to the palace after receiving the news, it would be difficult to entertain him."
"The general's wife even wanted to come forward and said that she could help host the banquet."
"She is very good at taking credit and is very proactive. She wants everyone to know that she is capable. She said that she wanted to gain experience and that she would also host banquets in the future, and her vision would definitely be better than that of the Fifth Prince's wife. She also said that even if it failed, it would be someone else's business anyway. She was doing good things, and I think the people in the Fifth Prince's palace would not blame her. She acted like a complete villain."
"Even if the general's wife wanted to turn the tide, the banquet was... still over."
"Before she left, she thought about the food on the table and didn't touch it much, and she was afraid of wasting it. She said that she had experienced hunger and was used to being frugal, so she packed up a lot of food."
"She only packed the expensive ones."
Emperor Ying Qian:...
"After leaving the palace, she gave them to the beggars with missing limbs kneeling on the street, and let them share it."
Emperor Ying Qian was not surprised after hearing this.
As he expected, Yu was a little clever.
But... not much.
The second son's wife praised her and belittled the fifth son's wife.
Wasn't she using her as a pawn?
But she couldn't see it and was still happy.
The eunuch said boldly: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that there is collusion between the Shunguo Mansion and the second prince."
Emperor Ying Qian: "Wei Zhao is a smart man. He doesn't even like the fifth son, so why would he choose the second son?"
The Shunguo Mansion has been calm for some time, and he can't help but worry that Wei Zhao has other thoughts.
And the prince Liang Yue is still missing.
Ying Zhi... is more capable than he thought.
Must be guarded against.
The emperor did not show any anger on his face.
He even laughed out loud.
The laughter was cold.
"What good will happen to the Fifth Prince's wife if she offends the Yu family?"
"The Yu family came from the countryside and has never seen the world. She doesn't know much, but her status has risen rapidly. Anyone would feel a little proud. How can such a person understand the rules of respect and inferiority? She can't stand being bullied. She thinks that she can walk sideways in Shangjing with the support of Wei Zhao and Gu Fuju behind her."
"I'm afraid no one will teach her. This Jin family is named Ying."
"I am annoyed with the princes below, but they are my blood after all. The Fifth Prince's wife is my daughter-in-law, and the Yu family wants to climb over her head."
"This is not taking me seriously!"
He sneered.
The eunuch knelt on the ground, remembered something, and said carefully: "After the banquet, Taifu Gu went to meet her. She was still angry and shouted at the door that she was also kind-hearted, and the people in the Fifth Prince's Mansion didn't appreciate it and didn't know how to treat guests."
"The newly found treasure, Taifu treasured it very much, and hurriedly coaxed it, but that person was so spoiled and had a stubborn temper."
Emperor Ying Qian: ...
Very good. Yu didn't even take her biological father seriously.
Father-in-law: "I don't know what the general's wife is thinking. With such good parents, she doesn't try to please them, but throws a tantrum."
Emperor Ying Qian's eyes were deep.
"What else could it be?"
"She is just trying to make trouble because she thinks Fu Ju Gu doesn't give her enough."
"Everyone is selfish. Just wait and see, can she really not enter the Gu family?"
"The Gu family couple can still indulge her now, but I'm afraid they will get annoyed after a long time."
Emperor Ying Qian had a very bad impression of Yu Tingwan.
How could he know that Yu Tingwan's tantrum in front of the Fifth Prince's Mansion made Gu Fuju very happy.
The girl stood there gracefully, supervising Shunzi Tanjiang to move the boxes of the ladies of each family to the pawnshop to exchange for money to buy rice.
She chattered.
———"I'm not particularly idle. My mother-in-law threw me a few more shops, and I have to manage six at the same time."
Which noble lady of aristocratic family doesn't have more than a dozen shops to practice?
But Gu Fuju was worried that Yu Tingwan would be tired.
Yu Tingwan talked to herself again.
——"I am willing to help the Fifth Imperial Concubine today because I think she is friendly and like my own sister."
Who dares to say that she is a sister to the Fifth Imperial Concubine.
But Gu Fuju felt that the Fifth Imperial Concubine was not worthy.
——"But she has always made things difficult for me." She
wants to take me down!
She has been reformed again.
——"They're going to send me to jail."
Gu Fuju: ...
He almost believed it.
——"The Second Prince's wife is the best. She believes that I'm not an ordinary person. She's willing to give me the money to deal with."
There were some ladies from noble families who didn't leave, and there were also people watching the excitement on the street.
Yu Tingwan let those people look at her.
She pretended to be very unconvinced.
——"Then can I refuse?"
Gu Fuju told her: "You can."
——"Then can I refuse
?" ——"You...can't?"
Yu Tingwan clapped her hands: "That's what I said."
——"The Second Prince is not a good person, but his wife is still very good. I agreed..."
——"Other ladies turned around and begged me for help, can they blame me? But she closed her eyes and fainted. People who didn't know would think that I was a bad person who knocked her out."
Yu Tingwan snorted, put her hands behind her back, and walked back and forth in front of the Fifth Prince's Mansion. Jade agate beads hung on her body, jingling as she walked.
Gu Fuju held back his laughter.
——"Yaoyao, father will take you back."
——"I won't leave. I want to see when the Fifth Imperial Concubine wakes up."
——"What will you do when she wakes up?" Yu
Tingwan had a good reason.
——"I am a compassionate saint. I have to go in and visit her again to show my concern. Although she is not kind, she teases me and wants the servants around her to push me. But I am not injured, so I just suffer a little loss. I can't be so petty."
——"I am afraid that this matter... will ruin my reputation."
Yu Tingwan seemed to care a lot.
——"I am actually quite helpless."
She stepped forward.
She felt that the net under the jade pendant on the Taifu was very beautiful.
She had also made it.
But they were all the most common styles.
Yu Tingwan did not take it without asking.
Gu Fuju took it off and handed it to her.
Yu Tingwan looked at it carefully, and then handed it back to Gu Fuju, raised her head, and looked at him with watery eyes.
——"Do you know why I haven't fallen down now?"
——"Why?"
She spoke in a soft voice, making excuses.
