Chapter 167 The Princess Remembers to Eat, Not to Be Punished
"The Zhou family is truly absurd. Not only did they hold a silent funeral for the death of their son, but neither Ye Chengyun nor that Zhou Qinzhu received any punishment..."
Although he didn't like the Zhou family, Zhuang Hefeng was still shocked by the Zhou family's actions.
Gu Ruanci said very insightfully: "Maybe not enough people died."
The Gu family was silent. Although these words were a bit vicious, they seemed to make the most sense.
The wedding of Gu Yutang and Wu Yixuan was approaching, and the banquet at the Grand Princess's Mansion also began at this time.
Wu Yixuan was also invited because the other party was the eldest princess and it was the first banquet she held after reopening the mansion, so she had no way to refuse.
As for who was going to cause trouble at the banquet, Lu Enyan had already told Gu Ruanci before, so she was mentally prepared.
When Ye Lingyue appeared, people started to complain.
Zhou Yuqi had just died and the biggest suspect was Ye Chengyun, but she went directly to greet the eldest princess, and her attitude was extremely respectful, with a smile on her face.
The worst thing is that she actually brought Zhou Qinzhu with her.
Although she didn't have to observe mourning for her brother's death, the eldest princess' invitation to the banquet could not be refused. However, given the special circumstances of the Zhou family, how could the eldest princess be so serious?
When they saw Zhou Qinzhu, the noble ladies automatically moved away.
Their eyes were full of incomprehension, but they maintained basic manners and did not laugh out loud in front of them.
Zhou Qinzhu acted a little unconfident. Over the years, she had always been under the protection of Lu Wenxue and had never had a direct conflict with anyone in the circle of noble ladies in Dizhou. However, Lu Wenxue, who was originally scheduled to come today, was not there because she was under house arrest.
Ever since Concubine Wen learned that Lu Enyan's illness could be cured, the three of them, mother and son, have become much more obedient.
The noble ladies' attitude towards Gu Ruanci was truly warm, which made Zhou Qinzhu jealous but speechless.
After all, there are some things that jealousy will not produce any results.
The eldest princess also invited many men this time, even the second prince Lu Enlian, who was about to leave in a while, was there.
When he saw Lu Enlian, Zhou Qinzhu lowered his head and started to make all kinds of calculations in his mind.
But Lu Enlian never looked at her. Instead, he greeted Gu Runci very friendly.
"That Gu Runci is really popular." Lu Shuyi was still resentful that Gu Runci did not help her regulate her body.
As for the fact that Gu Ruanci did not accept the coercion of Master Lu to help Lu Hongbo with his medical treatment and continued to trap the eldest princess, in her heart it was not a favor at all.
Hearing the eldest princess speak in this tone, Ye Lingyue felt more at ease.
She must accomplish this task today. The Gu family has been doing too well lately, while the Ye family, on the contrary, has been in trouble all the time.
When Wu Yixuan arrived, there was another bustle.
After greeting her sisters, she went to the eldest princess to pay her respects. The eldest princess specifically asked, "Miss Wu, you will soon become the wife of the general of the Gu family. Are you ready to go to the border with General Gu to blow sand?"
Wu Yixuan knew that she was feeling jealous and that she could marry Gu Yutang, so he didn't take it to heart.
Who would take a divorced woman seriously if she didn't have the status of a princess?
"Being able to marry into the Shouguo Mansion and become the wife of a great general is already an honor. However, the emperor has always cherished the soldiers at the border. Is it inappropriate for the princess to use blowing sand to mock life at the border?"
When Lu Shuyi heard that Wen Yixuan dared to embarrass her in public, she was very angry.
"Who are you talking to?"
"Is the Imperial Sister so overbearing now? I, the Imperial Brother, am also just blowing sand at the border. Am I not qualified to attend your banquet?"
Unexpectedly, the second prince Lu Enlian came over and said something directly.
Lu Shuyi's mind suddenly buzzed again. She had just spoken without thinking and forgot that her second brother was still here.
"Second brother, why would Shuyi mean this..."
Lu Hanyue came over at some point and said, "Royal sister, you specially invited the young lady from the Wu family who is preparing for her wedding to this banquet. She has already given enough face by coming in person. Why are you targeting her like this?"
Over the years, they had all tacitly accepted that Lu Shuyi was their sister, but the fact that she had disappointed the Empress before was something that these Empress's biological children could never forgive.
Lu Hanyue's words made Lu Shuyi hesitate again.
"My sister misunderstood...but it was indeed my sister's words that were inappropriate. Please don't take it to heart, Miss Wu. The Young General of the Gu family is a rare talent and the hope of our Great Yao. It is because of him that the border of Great Shun is so stable. This contribution should naturally be respected by me."
Wu Yixian heard her words without any sincerity and said, "I don't know if cousin Yu is worthy of what the princess said, but in my heart, he is just doing his duty."
"Yes, sister Yixian understands my brother better, otherwise you would say my destined sister-in-law."
Gu Ruanci's words made Lu Shuyi's face turn green.
She always felt that Gu Ruanci was mocking her, and alluding to her failure in marrying Gu Yutang.
But with so many people watching, especially her second brother, she didn't dare lose her temper.
Ye Lingyue saw the confrontation between them and felt even happier.
Although the plan was a bit old-fashioned, it worked every time for women.
Everyone was present and the meal could finally begin. After Lu Shuyi made some adjustments, she had people serve tea and water, and also brought in various fruits.
Gu Ruanci waited quietly, wondering who would come and wet Wu Yixuan's clothes and then ask her to change them.
The result did not disappoint her. She saw with her own eyes a maid with a nervous expression coming towards them.
She naturally told Wu Yixuan that the wind was strong today, and he put a shawl on her and a silk scarf on her legs.
Wu Yixuan didn't understand why, but he cooperated very well.
When the maid arrived, she skillfully spilled the tea on Wu Yixuan.
"This servant deserves death, please punish me, young lady..."
She knelt on the ground, her clothes in a panic.
After seeing this, Princess Ka felt annoyed. This was not something she arranged, so she naturally thought that the maid was clumsy.
"Miss Wu's clothes must be wet. The material is so thin, I'm afraid she needs to change..."
Someone immediately said, this is the truth.
There was a look of pride in Ye Lingyue's eyes, a smile that showed that her plan had succeeded.
When the men heard this, they chose to avoid looking.
Even Wu Yixuan herself felt that she should get up, but Gu Ruanci held her down.
"It's okay, it's fine for you to sit here. The shawl and scarf I gave you just now are both waterproof," she said to the maid, "Get up, there's nothing for you to do here."
