Chapter 272 It's ridiculous that the emperor favors him so much
As everyone in the hall was talking, a tall figure wearing a dark blue python robe and a jade belt around his waist walked in from outside.
Beigong Yu rushed into the palace scolding, walked behind Chen Wanrong arrogantly, glared at Lin Miaoyin and said, "Princess Ning, please be careful with your words. Mother and your second daughter are distant relatives, and they are not related at all. Besides, this prince will never marry a woman who is unscrupulous and immoral."
When it comes to Lin Qingxue, his face is full of disgust and he wishes he could cut off all ties with her.
There was a sigh in the hall.
When Chen Wanrong was trying to win over Lin Ruhui, she always called Lin Qingxue her niece. Now there is no need for that as they have become distant relatives.
Speaking of snobbery, there is no one in the whole court who is as snobbish as this mother and son.
Lin Miaoyin smiled softly and imitated Chen Wanrong's tone and said, "It was just a joke. Prince Jing won't be angry, right?"
Chen Wanrong's face froze for a moment.
She squeezed the teacup tightly, wishing she could crush it. How dare this little bitch use what she just said to stop her.
Before he could vent his anger, she continued, "As for my second sister, she said that it was because of His Royal Highness Prince Jing that her reputation was ruined. It would be fine if His Royal Highness did not take responsibility for her, but how could he say such vicious words? She is so narrow-minded."
"You..." Beigong Yu's face turned pale with anger in an instant.
Chen Wanrong gave him a look, signaling him to stay calm, and then smiled slowly: "Princess Ning, you are joking. Qingxue's bad reputation is not because of Yu'er. Speaking of which, I have always liked Qingxue. If it weren't for the previous incident, I would definitely let Yu'er marry her..."
Before she could finish, Beigong Yu became anxious, "Mother!"
Chen Wanrong stopped the man and continued, "Even if I want to do it now, I'm afraid it won't work."
The people in the hall seemed to smell gossip.
The previous incident...it seems that there is something else going on between His Royal Highness Prince Jing and the Second Miss of the Lin family.
"Oh, Your Majesty is talking about my second sister's coming-of-age celebration. His Royal Highness Prince Jing was there that day, and he knows very well what happened in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. My Lin family is innocent and open, and my second sister's coming-of-age banquet that day ended successfully. Your Royal Highness Prince Jing, don't you think so?" Lin Miaoyin said with a smile.
It was Chen Wanrong who provoked this matter first. The Queen was gentle and did not bother with her, but she still took advantage of him.
In this case, no one can expect an easy life.
After she finished speaking, everyone's eyes on Beigong Yu changed obviously.
Although the Right Prime Minister's Office blocked the news of that day, some of it was still leaked out. It was said that His Royal Highness Prince Jing seemed to have some shameful homosexual habits and even slept with the servant beside him.
Originally, there were a few noble ladies in the hall who shyly glanced at Beigong Yu, but now there was only contempt in those admiring eyes.
"It is indeed a successful conclusion." Beigong Yu responded with gritted teeth.
When he thought of what happened that day, he still couldn't help feeling nauseous.
Sooner or later he will settle this account with this bitch!
As for other people's looks, he didn't care at all and didn't take it to heart.
It doesn't matter what they think, as long as the emperor values him, that's enough.
In fact, he always knew that his father loved him very much, but he never expected that his father would favor him so much.
This time, he had caused such a big disaster that he was demoted to a prince, and he could be re-ennobled by taking advantage of the Wanshou Festival. Not only that, his father also gave him the command of the Northern Liang Army, which was something he dared not even think about.
It was ridiculous that he had actually considered that sickly Beigong You as his opponent in the past.
Chen Wanrong coughed lightly, reminding Beigong Yu not to fight with Lin Miaoyin anymore, lest he be dragged into trouble by her.
Beigong Yu thought she was feeling unwell and asked with concern, "Mother, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, mother is fine." Chen Wanrong shook her head and smiled at him, "It's getting late, I have to go serve your father lunch."
She stood up and glanced at the main seat, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."
Fu turned around and didn't take the queen seriously at all.
If she was a little wary of the Queen in the past, now that she and Prince Jing have both regained the Queen's favor, and Prince Ning will not live for many days, and the Queen has no hope, she naturally doesn't have to look at the Queen's face anymore.
"I'll take my leave."
Beigong Yu also bowed to the queen perfunctorily.
Without waiting for the Queen's consent, he helped Chen Wanrong away. The mother and son were equally arrogant.
At this moment, his face was rosy and radiant, and he looked even more majestic in his golden and jade decorations. He raised his chin slightly, looking arrogant, as if the position of crown prince was already a foregone conclusion.
"It's indeed late, it's time for lunch. I have asked someone to prepare the meal in advance. You all can stay in Ganquan Palace and have lunch with me." The Queen smiled faintly, as if she was not affected by Chen Wanrong and Beigong Yu, mother and son.
"Thank you, Her Majesty." Everyone stood up and saluted.
Chen Zhimo knew that the Queen disliked her, so she tried to reduce her presence as much as possible, and even Beigong Youxuan, deliberately treated herself as a transparent person.
The other concubines and ladies would not be so tactless as to bring bad luck upon the Queen.
Without Chen Wanrong, the atmosphere in Ganquan Palace was still harmonious.
Because the Queen suffered from a migraine, she would take a nap at noon every day, so she let everyone leave after the meal.
The concubines returned to the palace, while the ladies and young ladies were taken by the head nanny to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the plum blossoms and drink tea.
There was a warm floor heater in Ganquan Palace. Lin Miaoyin began to feel sleepy after her meal, so the Queen had someone help her rest in a side hall.
When she woke up, it was already mid-afternoon.
The queen was not in Ganquan Palace at that time, so she took Yuzhu to the Imperial Garden.
The heavy snow had just melted and the palace servants were busy clearing the snow on both sides of the road.
The fallen snow in the Imperial Garden has been cleared away, leaving only the branches of flowers and trees dotted with white snow.
Especially in the plum garden deep in the Imperial Garden, clusters of plums are in full bloom.
The red plum blossoms look extremely beautiful against the backdrop of white snow.
Before this, when the snow and wind were strong, many ladies of noble birth were admiring the plum blossoms in the viewing pavilion in the plum garden.
As early as the beginning of winter, the three Guanmei Pavilions had been covered with thick curtains. In the past two days, the palace servants have also lit stoves in the pavilions, so even though it is snowing outside, it is still warm and pleasant inside. Everyone drinks tea in the pavilion while appreciating the red plum blossoms outside against the snow, which is quite interesting.
Not long ago, plagues were rampant and natural disasters continued. Not to mention families like them, even the entire country was facing a major catastrophe. Internal and external troubles had shaken the foundations of the country.
However, in just over a month, they quelled external threats and resolved internal problems, and peace returned to Beiliang.
Everyone knew that the reason they could still sit here peacefully and enjoy the plum blossoms was all because of the emperor's wisdom.
Today's Emperor's Birthday is the time for them to express their gratitude to the Emperor.
Everyone just drank a cup of tea and then left, going back to prepare for the Wanshou Palace Banquet in the evening.
So when Lin Miaoyin came over, there were not many people in the Imperial Garden.
The plum garden looked very empty in the snow.
Lin Miaoyin took a look from afar, then looked away. Just as she was about to leave, a tempting fragrance wafted over from not far away.
