Chapter 160 I like this
"It's even harder for ordinary women to get close to him. He wouldn't even look at you, a widow with a child."
After the yellow-dressed woman finished speaking, Gu Jingchun suddenly felt like teasing her and said casually:
"That's not certain. What if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has different tastes and prefers mine?"
She said this and smiled with her hands covering her lips.
This smile was so charming that everyone present was almost stunned.
"After all, this man is very mean.
No matter how noble the Crown Prince is, he is still a man, isn't he? "
She added one more sentence after she finished speaking.
"Oh, I forgot. You are all unmarried women. You certainly don't understand these things."
These words completely shocked everyone present.
Especially the woman in yellow, she stood there in a daze, not saying a word.
In fact, she knew that what Gu Jingchun said was right. After all, she had heard similar words from her mother more than once.
However, no woman has ever dared to say such words in such an occasion.
The person who said it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"You...are really brave."
After a moment, the woman in yellow finally uttered a word slowly.
"How dare you speak ill of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Gu Jingchun waved his hand indifferently.
"I didn't make any irresponsible remarks about the Crown Prince. It was you who made such remarks."
The woman in yellow then realized that she had been let in by Gu Jingchun, and she immediately became angry.
"Gu Jingchun, you are simply shameless. A shameless person like you is not worthy of attending this banquet. Get out now!"
The woman in yellow shouted as she spoke.
But Gu Jingchun remained unmoved.
"I came to this banquet because the Queen Mother personally invited me to do so. You alone are not enough to get me out."
The woman in yellow snorted coldly when she heard this.
"snort!"
"Do you think you are still the legitimate daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate?"
"Don't you see your current status? You've already been kicked out of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. With your current status, I'm afraid the Queen Mother wouldn't even bother to look at you, let alone send you a letter.
It’s just a dream!”
"Someone come!"
The woman in yellow shouted.
Because they were far enough away, their movements, although quite loud, did not attract the attention of others.
The palace maid beside her heard the voice of the woman in yellow and immediately came over.
"My lord, do you have any instructions?"
"This girl isn't the daughter of a noble, she's not worthy of attending this banquet, why don't you kick her out?"
Upon hearing this, the palace maid was at a loss for a moment.
But Gu Jingchun sat there calmly, his eyes occasionally falling on Situ Mingji in the distance, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
At this moment, a sharp voice came.
"Let her out?"
"Who the hell do you think you are?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Princess Rongyang walked in slowly.
Seeing this, everyone knelt down and saluted.
Princess Rongyang looked around and finally landed on the woman in yellow.
She walked up to her.
"You, raise your head."
The woman in yellow slowly raised her head.
Princess Rongyang glanced at her.
"Where did you come from?"
"You actually dare to question the Queen Mother's decision?"
"How about letting you take on the position of Queen Mother?"
These words frightened the woman in yellow so much that she trembled with fear. She didn't care about anything else and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Princess, please spare my life. I am innocent. I dare not do such a thing even if you give me eight hundred courages!"
"snort!"
"I think you are very brave."
Princess Rongyang glanced at Gu Jingchun as she spoke, intending to help him vent his anger, so she continued, "You haven't told me where you came from yet. How did Miss Gu offend you that you treated her like this?"
Speaking of this, Princess Rongyang couldn't help but get angry.
Only she can bully Gu Jingchun. Since when can anyone bully him?
This is simply an insult to her, Princess Rongyang!
She was even insulting all the delicious food that Gu Jingchun made for her. It was simply abominable!
It was a rare opportunity for Gu Jingchun to visit the palace, and Princess Rongyang had originally wanted to let Gu Jingchun go to her palace to play. If this guy messed things up, she would be so upset that she would have no tears to cry.
The woman in yellow didn't expect that she just wanted to drive Gu Jingchun out, but she tried to flatter Situ Mingji, but she hit a wall.
At this moment, she was almost regretting her decision, and she kowtowed and explained, "Your Highness, I am Wang Lisan, the legitimate daughter of the Imperial Censor Wang family.
Today, I learned that this woman had seduced His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I was furious and felt even more sympathetic towards Miss Situ Mingji, which is why we had a few arguments."
Ever since Princess Rongyang came in, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone was watching this scene.
Even Concubine Hui above became interested and walked forward slowly.
The noble ladies sitting in the front row also took a few steps forward.
However, he heard these words as soon as he approached, and immediately looked at Situ Mingji in surprise.
Situ Mingji never imagined that this matter was actually related to her. Immediately, he stepped forward and bowed to Concubine Hui and Princess Rongyang one by one before saying, "To the Concubine and Her Royal Highness.
This Miss Wang is the daughter of her father's subordinate. She is usually straightforward and outspoken. Perhaps it is her first time entering the palace and she does not understand the palace rules.
I listened to a few rumors and took them seriously, which has offended Miss Gu. I hope Miss Gu will forgive me."
Situ Mingji revealed the conflict between the woman in yellow and Gu Jingchun in just a few words, and did not mention himself at all throughout the process, but he cleverly cleared his suspicion.
Moreover, her apology to Gu Jingchun showed her magnanimity and courtesy, and further demonstrated the example and cultivation of a noble lady from an aristocratic family.
In an instant, he received admiring glances from people around him.
In response to this, Gu Jingchun looked at Situ Mingji a little more.
She didn't want to get entangled with her any more.
However, Princess Rongyang is not someone who is easily dealt with.
At this moment, she showed her nature as a willful princess, and without caring about the dignity left by Situ Mingji, she directly tore up her words.
"Did I ask you?"
"Why are you butting in?"
Her words made Situ Mingji's face freeze, and his expression changed again and again.
Princess Rongyang then asked the woman in yellow.
"Let me ask you, why do you feel so sorry for Situ Mingji?"
"This..." The woman in yellow raised her head and looked at Situ Mingji carefully, then lowered her head, hesitating but not daring to speak for a long time.
Princess Rongyang was not one to be kind, and she immediately said, "If you don't tell me, I will throw you out of the palace right now."
Upon hearing this, the woman in yellow immediately said, "I just heard that... His Majesty intends to make Miss Situ the Crown Princess.
