Chapter 475 Can't stand it
Chu Pan'er is a royal princess, and she herself is also half a royal member, with the dignity of a county princess, while Liu Anyao is also the legitimate daughter of the prime minister. Which one is not more noble than Lu Xiang?
But she didn't care.
Is she crazy?
A flash of anger flashed across Liu Anyao's face, and then she tried to comfort Zheng Wenshuang:
"Princess, calm down. There is no need to get yourself upset over a villain. Let's see how long she can be so arrogant."
Liu Anyao offered Zheng Wenshuang a way out, and there was no reason for her not to go down. She snorted coldly and pulled Chu Paner away arrogantly.
"Who the hell is Zheng Wenshuang? She came here to show off her might, but in the end she acted like we were too much and she didn't care to bother with us. It's so disgusting. Oh, no, I'm so angry."
Chen Ruijin slammed the table angrily and said with gritted teeth.
Lu Xiang withdrew his gaze from Liu Anyao's back and chuckled, "Calm down, even if they come here to show off, they won't gain any benefit." They are just showing off their power.
Seeing that more and more people came, even Qiao Jingru and Lu Qiao who went out to see the lanterns returned to the old lady, so Lu Xiang sat back.
"Xiangxiang, what did the Ninth Princess and the others say?" the old lady asked worriedly.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jingru and Lu Qiao turned to look at her.
Lu Xiang smiled and said, "Grandmother, please be at ease. The Ninth Princess was dissatisfied with me because I was scolded by the Queen, so she said a few harsh words. However, because she was afraid of the Queen, she did not do anything to me. Liu Anyao took the opportunity to add insult to injury, and Zheng Wenshuang thought she was speaking for justice, but she didn't get any good results."
The old lady had been keeping an eye on Lu Xiang, and had been on high alert when the Ninth Princess and the others were arguing with each other. However, there were many people in the hall, and because they were at a distance, she only knew that the two sides were arguing, but she did not hear clearly what was said.
"Some things cannot be avoided by simply tolerating them. You are a person with your own ideas, so you should be more careful in everything." The old lady advised.
For example, Liu Anyao, the Lu family and the Liu family are like water and fire, so it is impossible for Liu Anyao to coexist peacefully with Lu Xiang.
Another example is Zheng Wenshuang. Lu Xiang has never had any contact with her. But between people, besides feeling familiar with each other, there is also disdain. You are tolerant and retreat, but the other party just thinks you are afraid and keeps chasing you.
Lu Xiang pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, Grandma."
Let her be patient?
No!
Liu Anyao plotted against her again and again, even resorting to other people's help. It was undoubtedly a knife hanging over her head, and she didn't know when it would fall. Chu Jinyan tried her best to push Xiao Muheng into the mud, and she would never let him have the chance to climb up again by relying on Liu Anyao's power.
Previously, when she attended banquets, Liu Anyao would not be there when she was there, and she would not attend places where Liu Anyao went, so Liu Anyao hid in the dark and instigated others to take action...
Lu Xiang was sitting behind Liu Anyao. Looking at Liu Anyao's straight back, a sharp light flashed in Lu Xiang's eyes.
Liu Anyao knew that because of Xiao Muheng's burning down of the Imperial College, many people looked at her in subtle ways, but the more this happened, the more she had to show her strength and not let others look down on her.
As Mrs. Xiao, she was not qualified to enter the palace.
But in addition to her identity as Madam Xiao, she was also the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family. Empress Shufei could easily allow her to enter the palace with just a note.
Chu Pan'er glanced at the arrogant Liu Anyao and raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth. If there was anyone who hated Lu Xiang more than her, it was definitely Liu Anyao. With her leading the way, she could just sit aside and watch the fun, and when necessary, she would step on him hard so that Lu Xiang would never be able to turn over.
Soon, the eunuch's loud voice was heard at the palace gate.
"The Queen Mother has arrived, the Emperor has arrived, the Queen has arrived!"
The bustling hall suddenly became quiet. Only the rustling of clothes could be heard. People knelt on the ground one after another. At first glance, it was a crowded scene.
"Long live the emperor!"
The shouts of "Long live the emperor" resounded throughout the hall, making people excited.
No wonder the princes fought so hard for the throne. The feeling of looking down on the world and being admired by everyone is really exciting.
"Long live the Queen Mother!"
"Long live the Queen!"
Then, everyone bowed to the Queen Mother and the Empress.
Behind the three of them were several princes.
Behind them are the concubines from various palaces.
Those who can attend the palace banquet are all of noble rank or above.
Emperor Chengde was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and the five-clawed golden dragon on his body looked lifelike, as if it was about to fly into the sky, exuding a domineering aura.
The Emperor of Song, who stood shoulder to shoulder with him, was wearing a purple gold phoenix pearl crown and a bright red palace dress embroidered with a pattern of phoenixes and phoenixes. He looked dignified and elegant.
"Everyone, please stand up."
Emperor Chengde sat on the dragon throne, raised his arms and smiled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up to express their gratitude, but did not sit down immediately.
"Sit down." Emperor Chengde waved his hand and said.
Everyone then sat down one after another, looking at Emperor Chengde sitting on the dragon throne with respect, not daring to act rashly.
"Today is the Lantern Festival, so there's no need to be so restrained." The empress dowager suddenly spoke, her shrewd eyes sweeping over the young ladies present one by one, and said with a smile.
Emperor Chengde's eyes darkened slightly when he heard the Empress Dowager interrupting him.
What does the Queen Mother mean by this?
Slap him in the face in front of so many people?
"Father, is your throat damaged and you can't speak?" Chu Jinyan suddenly looked at Emperor Chengde with a serious face and asked.
Emperor Chengde was stunned: "What?"
Everyone looked puzzled.
The Queen's throat is damaged?
You were talking normally just now.
What does this mean, Your Highness?
Chu Jinyan frowned and said with concern: "The Queen Mother spoke first, I think she is worried about your throat. Please take care of yourself."
When the Queen Mother heard this, her expression changed drastically.
Speak first?
Chu Jinyan was implicitly mocking her for taking the initiative, what a bastard.
Emperor Chengde also reacted quickly, and immediately gave his son a look of implicit praise, then laughed and shook his head, with a hint of impatience on his face: "You are a filial child, don't worry, I am fine."
It's okay, look at how loud the voice is.
Everyone felt the subtle atmosphere in the hall and remained silent.
The Queen Mother's action clearly shows that she does not take the Emperor seriously. As a son, the Emperor naturally would not argue with the Queen Mother about this violation of the rules. Otherwise, wouldn't it be unfilial?
But the Eighth Prince was different. He pointed out that the Queen Mother spoke first, but he said frankly that it was for the emperor's health, but he also secretly ridiculed the Queen Mother for breaking the rules, which made the Queen Mother so angry that she couldn't say a word.
Emperor Chengde glanced at the Queen Mother with a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, my voice is fine."
He stepped on it again intentionally.
The Queen Mother was so angry that she choked and responded in a muffled voice, almost biting her teeth.
