Chapter 18 I Give You Face
Lu Chenzhou and Lin Ye's expressions changed when they heard this.
Where is their dignity when they let grown men take this slap for a woman of humble origin?
Seeing this, Lin Zhaoyue sneered in her heart.
Sure enough, their kindness to Chu Yinyin was more based on the pity of the superiors for the weak.
It is the desire to protect, the desire to conquer, and the desire to control.
So they liked Chu Yinyin to depend on them, so they showed her all kinds of favors.
But if they had to abandon their identities and sacrifice themselves for Chu Yinyin, they might not be so resolute.
At least, not now.
[Male lead and male second come on, it's time for the competition]
[The male lead and the second male lead are also people of status. They must have concerns now. Don't worry, they will sacrifice everything for the female lead in the future.]
[Oh my god, I'm so heartbroken, ahhh my Yinbao's face]
[I burst into tears. Why did the heroine have to suffer so much injustice?! ]
At this time, the maids had already stepped forward and grabbed Chu Yinyin, and the leading maid slapped Chu Yinyin hard in the face.
Chu Yinyin's screams and slaps echoed throughout the banquet hall, and everyone fell silent, not daring to speak.
Lu Chenzhou and Lin Ye immediately stepped forward worriedly, "Yin Yin!"
"Yinyin, how are you?"
The slap on Chu Yinyin's face was horribly red and swollen, and her eyes were filled with tears.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Chun immediately tried to smooth things over.
"Zhao Yue, I've seen that Miss Chu is indeed kind-hearted and generous. Why are you so angry? Didn't you say that you also want to help Miss Chu and Chen Zhou get together? Why don't I make the decision? You and Chen Zhou won't divorce, and instead let Chen Zhou take Chu Yinyin into his mansion? That way, we can have the best of both worlds..."
As soon as Concubine Chun said this, she was splashed with wine in her face.
Her makeup was all smudged, and she closed her eyes for a while before opening them with difficulty. She stared at the calm Lin Zhaoyue in front of her with shock and anger.
Xiaoqi's eyes widened immediately, "Wow..." She immediately covered her mouth.
If the eldest sister really gets angry, she will even throw it at Concubine Chun?
Lin Zhaoyue spoke coldly, "Although my mother passed away early, I don't think it's the place for Concubine Chun to have any say in my marriage, right? To give my husband a concubine, is this the purpose of Concubine Chun's welcoming banquet for me? Don't you think it's disgusting and filthy?"
Although Concubine Chun was splashed with wine, she immediately suppressed her anger and explained softly, "I was not thoughtful enough. Zhaoyue, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that. Please don't take it to heart..."
[Is she too old to lift a knife? Is she trying to enlarge her face?]
[You still want the heroine and the vicious female supporting character to share the same husband? Don't you know that our heroine is only together for her whole life? ]
[Concubine Chun seems like one of those stupid relatives who advises her not to divorce when her husband cheats...]
"Well done, Princess! Is that even human language? You actually have the nerve to decide on a concubine for your husband? If you're such a pimp, why don't you just become a brothel owner?"
Only then did everyone remember that Princess Zhaohua, Lin Zhaoyue, had always been the most favored person in front of the emperor. It was no exaggeration to say that she was the one who received all the love.
This also made her have a bad temper and moody personality since she was a child.
Even the concubines in the harem had to be respectful and courteous when they saw her.
This year, Lin Zhaoyue was not in the capital, and Concubine Chun took charge of the harem and had become accustomed to being the master.
So he probably has forgotten that Lin Zhaoyue is someone who should not be provoked.
Lin Zhaoyue rose gracefully, brushing her wide sleeves. "It's truly difficult for Her Majesty Chun to host such a welcoming banquet. However, I am not fortunate enough to enjoy it."
She glanced towards Chu Yinyin and Lu Chenzhou.
At this time, Lu Chenzhou and the others were also looking at her.
She just stood there, with a pride and dignity that could not be desecrated.
At this moment, he felt ashamed and embarrassed for the first time.
It was as if I was no longer worthy of her...
She looked away coldly, then took a step forward and strode away.
Concubine Chun took a deep breath, "Zhao Yue..."
But Lin Zhaoyue had already left without looking back.
She clenched her nails in her sleeves and dug them into her flesh.
There was also a hint of suppressed anger and hatred in his eyes.
After Lin Zhaoyue left, all the daughters of wealthy families at the welcoming banquet looked at each other.
Then they stood up and left one after another.
When Xiaoqi saw Zhaoyue leaving, he immediately followed her happily.
But after running a few steps, he turned back and said to Pei Wanxing, "Sister Pei, those two books I lent you are the latest ones. Remember to send me the money when you go back."
Pei Wanxing nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Seventh Princess, I will send someone to deliver the money tomorrow."
Only then did Xiao Qi feel relieved and continue to follow.
Pei Wanxing hid the two books in his sleeves, then stood up and left.
When he passed by Chu Yinyin and Lu Chenzhou, he looked down on them, "Bah! A bunch of thieves and whores!"
Lu Chenzhou's face was gloomy, "What did you say!"
Pei Wanxing snorted coldly and glanced at Prince Lin Ye who was standing next to him with a sullen expression.
I deliberately said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess isn't so fond of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince anymore..."
After saying that, she walked away.
[Pei Wanxing's little mouth chatters, I love it so much]
[Hahaha, Pei Wanxing is now the leader of the male lead’s anti-fans]
[Is Pei Wanxing just a lackey of the vicious female supporting character? Did the male and female protagonists provoke you?]
[Where's the promised face-slapping? Where's my huge face-slapping plot? Why didn't the vicious female supporting role break the defense, but the female lead did?]
Pei Wanxing was not afraid. She was the daughter of a minister. What could Prince Lu do to her?
Besides, she has the princess to protect her.
As for the prince, she didn't say anything disrespectful.
But this sentence successfully hit Lin Ye's current pain point.
His body stiffened for a moment, and now Chu Yinyin's current grievances were no longer in his mind.
But throughout the entire welcoming banquet, the eldest sister didn't even glance at him.
She seemed...really no longer paying attention to him.
There was no one for her around him anymore.
He also did not receive any more intelligence about what was happening inside or outside the court.
He couldn't even find those people.
It seemed as if they all disappeared overnight, without even a trace.
He was puzzled.
She’s just Chu Yinyin, why doesn’t she want to give up the sibling relationship of all these years?
Why do you have to do things so drastically?!
Lu Chenzhou frowned and said to Chu Yinyin, "I'll send someone to take you back later."
After saying that, he quickly chased in the direction Lin Zhaoyue was going.
Chu Yinyin's eyes were red, and her suppressed eyes were filled with resentment and anger.
She raised her head and looked in the direction where Lin Zhaoyue left, and a feeling of jealousy and disgust gradually began to take root in her heart.
When what happened in the Hundred Gardens reached the emperor's ears.
The emperor frowned: "That's not right..."
Eunuch Hai was puzzled, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
The emperor thought for a moment, "My son only hit Chu Yinyin?"
Eunuch Hai nodded, "Yes, he slapped her in the face and splashed wine all over Concubine Chun's face."
The emperor stroked his chin and muttered softly, "It's strange that I didn't beat that kid Lu Chenzhou..."
Eunuch Hai smiled awkwardly, "Maybe... I haven't found the opportunity yet?"
Given his daughter's temper, it is truly rare that she has the patience to wait until now before slapping Chu Yinyin.
He was supposed to go to the welcoming banquet today.
But he is the emperor, if he were present.
I was afraid that Zhaoyue would not perform well, so I didn't go.
The affair between Lu Chenzhou and Chu Yinyin caused a lot of controversy and damaged the reputation of the royal family.
If he really wants to be punished, Lu Chenzhou will not be able to escape.
But the previous incident was just a rumor among the people, and it was also hindered by the Marquis of Xuanping.
So Zhaoyue was happy to see Lu Chenzhou and Chu Yinyin learn a lesson in front of everyone.
Just then, a young eunuch ran over and whispered a few words in Eunuch Hai's ear.
"Your Majesty, the princess beat Prince Lu." Eunuch Hai said excitedly.
The emperor smiled. "Have you found your chance? I told you, if you don't give Lu Chenzhou a beating, you're no longer my daughter."
[This old guy is quite protective of his shortcomings]
【Or maybe it's your turn to have a daughter? 】
…
At this time, next to the Thousand Carp Pond in the Imperial Garden.
Lin Zhaoyue looked coldly at Lu Chenzhou who was slapped in the face. "Did I give you face?"
