Chapter 15 Welcome Banquet
Lin Ye never thought that Lin Zhaoyue would really draw a line between themselves and him. When he heard this, his heart sank suddenly.
The alienation and indifference in her eyes hurt his eyes.
Lin Zhaoyue said in a cold tone, "Isn't what I've said clear enough, Your Highness?"
"So, what you mean is... you want to completely draw a line between you and me?" Lin Ye's voice was almost trembling, his eyes were red, and he stared at her angrily.
After so many years of sibling relationship, how could she do this?
She obviously cares about me so much. Doesn't she really want me to inherit the throne?
"Just because I quarreled with you twice, and because I spoke up for Yinyin, you are so heartless...is that so?" He gritted his teeth, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be about to burst out.
Lin Zhaoyue rubbed her forehead. She had nothing more to say. "Whatever you think, come on, show him out."
[Your sister is not as heartless as you. When you are heartless, you even stab your own sister.]
[Isn't that a bit of a double standard? You're the only one who can call your sister names and be mean to her, right? Is your sister being heartless just because she's drawing a line between you and her?]
[The second male lead killed the female supporting role, she deserved it. She is not as good as you in washing powder.]
Lin Zhaoyue spoke, and Mu Ying took a step forward. "Your Highness, please."
Lin Ye clenched his fists, stood there and stared at Lin Zhaoyue angrily for a long time, and finally spoke word by word almost gritting his teeth.
"Okay, from now on, whether I, Lin Ye, live or die has nothing to do with you!"
He left these words bitterly and turned away angrily.
[Look, when you treat someone well all the time, he will take it for granted that you should treat him well. If you treat him badly, he will be broken.]
[I feel bad for the second male lead being abandoned, go throw yourself into the arms of the female lead, your sister is a green tea bitch]
Mu Ying and Feng Mian looked at each other, and then Mu Ying followed him out.
Feng Mian looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess beside him worriedly.
But she picked up the teacup again, lowered her eyes and took a sip calmly.
"After all these years, I raised an idiot."
Feng Mian: “…”
The worry in his eyes also disappeared.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is worthy of being Her Royal Highness the Princess.
It would be a lie to say that Lin Zhaoyue didn't feel uncomfortable, but this discomfort did not affect her rationality.
Moreover, she had already had quite some time to accept the betrayal she would face after returning to Beijing.
So, now I don’t have any emotional ups and downs.
The next day.
The Hundred Flowers Garden was already filled with singing and dancing early in the morning.
In addition to the princes and princesses, the daughters of officials of the fifth rank and above, and the young princes and sons of some marquises were also present at Princess Zhaohua's welcoming banquet.
Empress Chun brought a group of concubines to join in the fun, and the entire Hundred Flowers Garden was bustling with activity.
When Concubine Chun saw Lin Zhaoyue, she took her hand and said warmly, "Princess, you have traveled a long way and must have been exhausted from the journey. I have specially organized this welcoming banquet for you. Please don't be disgusted by its simplicity."
Concubine Chun was dressed in a bright palace dress and looked very well-maintained. Her smile was gentle and approachable.
Therefore, over the years, people in the palace have said that Concubine Chun is gentle, kind, dignified and virtuous.
He can also manage the harem in an orderly manner.
Therefore, some ministers made suggestions many times, proposing to make Concubine Chun the empress, but they were all ignored by the emperor.
Then the minister who proposed to make Concubine Chun the queen would be reported by himself, and would have no good ending.
Therefore, she didn't believe that Concubine Chun was nice to her.
But she also smiled and said, "Empress Chunfei is thoughtful. Zhaoyue should be flattered."
Concubine Chun took Zhaoyue to sit in the main seat and asked curiously, "Why are you the only one here today? Where is your husband?"
[When masters fight, every word is fatal]
[Smiling on the outside, but MMP in the heart]
Concubine Chun is really mean. How could she not know about Lu Chenzhou? She must have done it on purpose. She definitely did it on purpose.
Upon hearing this, the young ladies around pricked up their ears and listened.
In recent days, the news of Princess Zhaohua and her husband's divorce has spread throughout the capital.
When Concubine Chun asked about her husband, she naturally wanted to hear what he had to say.
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips slightly. "Prince Lu has been having an affair with another woman, and his feelings for her are deep. Zhaoyue is not the kind of person to break up a couple, so she wrote a letter of divorce, and everyone knows about it. As for Prince Lu... he is no longer in the princess's residence. Perhaps he is in love with his beloved..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Chun's expression turned slightly ugly.
The other daughters present were also discussing in low voices.
"The princess is so generous that she can tolerate such a thing..."
"Yes, it can be considered a good story. I have met Miss Chu before, and she is definitely not the kind of seductive woman. I am afraid she has some difficulties..."
"Miss Chu is kind-hearted and would never do anything to destroy other people's feelings. The princess and her husband are not in harmony, so it's only a matter of time before they get divorced..."
"Humph, how can she not be a seductive vixen? If she wasn't deliberately imitating the princess in every way, how could the prince consort even look at her?"
…
At this moment, Pei Shilang's daughter suddenly slammed the table and stood up.
The young ladies around were all shocked.
Lin Zhaoyue and Concubine Chun, who were sitting in the main seat, also looked over.
Pei Wanxing picked up a pot of wine and took a gulp, then shouted angrily, "That's clearly Lu Chenzhou's fickle nature! He's fickle! How dare that scholar Chu Yinyin compare herself to the princess?"
The daughters: "..."
Lin Zhaoyue was also stunned for a moment, then said: "Miss Pei is straightforward and outspoken. She is a woman of true nature."
Concubine Chun also smiled awkwardly, "Yes... yes..."
Lin Zhaoyue was close to Concubine Chun, so she could see at a glance the ugly look on Concubine Chun's face at that moment.
After all, the person being scolded was her own nephew, so naturally she looked unhappy.
Pei Wanxing continued to say to the young ladies around her, "Haven't you read 'After Leaving Home, Two or Three Affair Between My Husband and the Vixen?' If not, I'll send you two copies in a couple of days..."
When they heard the title of the book, several wealthy women came over and asked in a low voice.
Xiaoqi, who was sitting in the princess seat, rolled her eyes, picked up a small biscuit and started eating it with a crunch.
"But Miss Pei, I'm afraid you're exaggerating. I've heard that Miss Chu is a sensible and kind-hearted person. She just bears a passing resemblance to you, a fate determined from birth. To say she's a shrewd imitator is a bit much. What do you think, Princess?"
As he said this, Lu Chenzhou had already walked out with Chu Yinyin.
Lin Zhaoyue's eyes were slightly cold, and she saw Chu Yinyin walking slowly behind Lu Chenzhou.
Lu Chenzhou seemed to be holding her hand at first, but he let go when he walked into the banquet and saw Lin Zhaoyue.
Ever since entering the banquet, his eyes have always been on Lin Zhaoyue.
Although Chu Yinyin looked dignified, she still showed a hint of timidity.
But she seemed to know quite a few of the people present, so she greeted them with a smile.
[The heroine is here! Our heroine is always so popular wherever she goes.]
[The following is the vicious female supporting character who insists on humiliating the heroine, and then the heroine is liked by everyone for her composure. Everyone speaks up for the heroine, right?]
[You also omitted the plot where the heroine saved the Queen Mother's life and became her favorite.]
[Finally, the scene where the vicious female supporting character gets slapped in the face! I’m rubbing my hands in anticipation.]
Lin Zhaoyue glanced at Lu Chenzhou and Chu Yinyin, and caught a glimpse of Lin Ye's figure out of the corner of her eye.
It's quite lively.
His own welcoming banquet was a stepping stone for Chu Yinyin.
As the male lead and the second male lead, they naturally have to witness this moment of hers.
Concubine Chun looked at Chu Yinyin with eyes full of love, "I am the mistress today, and I specially asked Chen Zhou to invite Miss Chu to come and welcome you. I hope there will be no grudges between you two, and that some misunderstandings can be resolved."
When saying this, Concubine Chun looked at some of the young ladies present.
The young ladies immediately understood and began to speak well of Chu Yinyin.
"What Concubine Chun said is true. Miss Chu is kind and gentle. It's impossible for her to deliberately imitate Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"It's just that they look alike. Your Highness shouldn't blame Miss Chu for this..."
"It's normal for Miss Chu and her husband to be in love with each other. If I were a man, I would also be moved..."
…
[You are done, sit down and wait for the feast]
[Use your ultimate in close combat? I'm on the princess' side this time.]
[The heroine is so cute and popular. There’s nothing we can do about it. The heroine is just likable.]
[That's right, I think the supporting actress must be overwhelmed by seeing so many people speaking up for the heroine, right?]
Lin Zhaoyue sneered in her heart. This woman clearly knew where her nephew was, but she still had to ask.
If this isn’t being shameful, what is?
The smile on her lips turned cold, and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
He said in a cool voice, "It seems that all the young ladies like this Miss Chu very much?"
