Chapter 56 Confrontation "Yan Shu, you dare to hit me!"
Of course, it wasn't just Yan Ruxue who was shocked when she heard Yan Qingwan's words.
Qi and Chu, who were standing aside at this moment, were also shocked.
Their purpose of coming to Xiao State was to represent their respective countries and express their willingness to form an alliance with Xiao State.
Since it is an alliance, it is natural that it must be based on marriage.
If King Xiao already has a queen chosen, then their trip would have been in vain.
Yan Qingwan naturally took in the expressions of the two people, and then continued to smile softly at them.
"Of course it's absolutely true. The Queen's coronation ceremony will take place on August 15th. By then, Lady Yan will be the true queen."
As Yan Qingwan spoke, she looked at Yan Ruxue with a half-smile. When she saw the anger in her eyes, she deliberately added fuel to the fire.
"In fact, the Queen Mother favors the three princesses more. After all, Concubine Yan's mother's family is not very powerful, and she can't really help the King. Unlike the other princesses, they all have the support of the court. It's a pity that the King refuses to listen and is now determined to make Concubine Yan the Queen."
After hearing this, Yan Ruxue snorted angrily, and then threw the flower in her hand, which had been ravaged by her and was in a state of disrepair, to the ground.
"She's just a vixen, what are you so proud of?" Yan Ruxue's eyes flashed with jealousy, "A daughter of a lowly concubine actually dares to compete with me!"
In the past in Yan Palace, as long as Yan Ruxue wanted something, she could get it.
Her father, the king, and her mother loved her immensely, much more than that bitch Yan Shu could ever compare to.
The only thing that made her unhappy was Yan Shu's face, which was more than ten times prettier than hers.
She had never been inferior to anyone in her life, but in terms of appearance, she was far surpassed by that bitch Yan Shu.
In the past in Yan Kingdom, she had wanted to destroy Yan Shu's face many times, but her mother stopped her every time, saying that Yan Shu would still be useful in the future, so she could only endure it unwillingly.
Later, when Yan Shu was going to marry the lustful King Xiao Wei, she was so happy, thinking that even with such beauty, she could only become a plaything.
Who would have thought that King Xiao Wei died suddenly, and Yan Shu actually became the beauty of the new King Xiao.
And now, Yan Shu is trying to snatch the position of Queen of Kingdom Xiao away, which makes Yan Ruxue feel even more jealous.
Seeing this, Qi and Chu just looked at each other quietly and didn't play for long.
At this time, Yan Shu was helping Qingtao get off the sedan chair. As soon as she looked up, she saw the gazes of the women in gorgeous clothes casting at her.
Among them, Yan Ruxue's gaze was the most arrogant.
Seeing Yan Shu get off the sedan chair, she led Yan Qingwan and others towards Yan Shu. When they got closer, her pair of thin eyebrows raised slightly.
"Oh, Sister Shu has now become the beauty of Xiao Country. Her aura is really different from before."
Yan Ruxue's tone was sarcastic, and at this moment her eyes seemed to want to stare two holes into Yan Shu.
What she hated most was Yan Shu's appearance. No matter how much she dressed up, she could never match her looks.
The beauty was so effortlessly dazzling that it made her resentful.
When Yan Shu heard Yan Ruxue's words, she sneered in her heart. She glanced at Yan Qingwan who was following Yan Ruxue, and felt that this person and the Queen Mother must be plotting something again.
Otherwise, why would he start to cling to Yan Ruxue again?
And this Yan Ruxue is even more outrageous. Now that she is not even in the Yan Palace, she still dares to be so domineering. It can be seen how lawless she was when she was spoiled in the Yan Kingdom.
So much so that when she arrived in Xiao State, she still thought she was the legitimate princess who was to be praised by everyone.
But now Yan Shu is no longer the little girl who allowed herself to be bullied by her.
After all, now that she is in the Xiao Palace, Yan Ruxue has no support from King Yan Wen and Queen Yan. No matter how loudly she barks or how arrogant her attitude is, she is just a vicious dog with bluffing.
But Yan Shu is different. Even though she is just a little beauty now, at least she doesn't have to worry that Xiao Yu will favor Yan Ruxue and punish her.
So Yan Shu raised her eyebrows and chuckled, raised her hand and lazily adjusted the jade hairpin on her bun, and looked at her with slightly raised eyes.
"I haven't seen Princess Qionghua for a long time. She's still the same as before. Her mouth is so annoying. She should eat less onions and garlic on weekdays, or I won't smell the smell before I hear the sound. It really makes me want to avoid her."
After saying that, the girl curved her almond-shaped eyes and covered her nose with a silk handkerchief, as if she was really intoxicated by the smell of Yan Ruxue.
As soon as Yan Shu said this, she heard the low laughter of a group of palace servants behind her.
Even the two princesses Qi and Chu beside Yan Qingwan couldn't help but lower their eyes and chuckle when they heard this.
"Yan Shu! You——"
Yan Ruxue had never suffered such an injustice before. She was immediately furious and raised her hand to slap Yan Shu in the face.
But before her slap could land, the eunuch behind Yan Shu stepped forward and grabbed her wrist tightly.
"How dare you! How dare you disrespect Lady Yan!"
"How dare you, you damned slave! How dare you stop me!" Yan Ruxue glared at the eunuch and shouted angrily, "Open your dog eyes and take a good look! I am Princess Qionghua of Yan State!"
"This is the Xiao Kingdom. I don't know who the Princess of Yan Kingdom is." The eunuch raised his voice, obviously not taking Yan Ruxue seriously.
After all, everyone in the Xiao Palace knows that Concubine Yan is the apple of the king's eye. To offend Concubine Yan is to offend the king.
As the eunuch in charge of Concubine Yan's palace, he naturally could not allow others to bully Concubine Yan.
Not to mention that this person is just a princess from another country.
Yan Ruxue became even more furious upon hearing this. She wanted to pull her hand back to continue hitting him, but the eunuch held her wrist tightly, causing her to frown in pain.
"Yan Shu, you still don't care about your evil slave! How dare you be so unreasonable to me!"
Yan Ruxue looked at Yan Shu angrily, her tone somewhat vicious.
Yan Shu looked at her frivolous appearance, and a cold look gradually appeared in her eyes.
"Evil slave? Princess Qionghua really knows how to lie with open eyes. If you hadn't made the first move just now, my people would naturally not have stopped you."
Listening to the cold eyes and cold words, and looking at the delicate white face in front of her, Yan Ruxue became even more angry and suddenly pulled back her hand.
"You are so good, Yan Shu! You think you can get ahead now that you are the beauty of Xiao country, right? Don't think I can't cure you!" Yan Ruxue yelled while rubbing her aching wrist, and then as if she thought of something, she looked at Yan Shu triumphantly.
"Don't forget, Hui Ji is still in the Yan Palace. You are showing off in front of me now, but have you ever thought about whether your mother is safe?"
Looking at Yan Ruxue's shameless look as if she was holding her weak spot, Yan Shu's eyes suddenly showed a burst of anger.
"What do you mean!"
Seeing Yan Shu's angry questioning, Yan Ruxue smiled even brighter, and then she slowly walked up to Yan Shu, and said proudly:
"Of course that's what you think it means. If you dare to offend me again, I will immediately write a letter to ask my mother to teach Hui Ji a lesson and let her know what kind of a good girl she raised—"
"Pa" a crisp slap sound suddenly fell.
Yan Ruxue was stunned by the slap from Yan Shu, but after she came to her senses, she covered her swollen face and looked at Yan Shu in disbelief.
She never expected that Yan Shu, who had always been trampled under her feet in the past, would dare to hit her today. She immediately looked at Yan Shu in astonishment:
"Yan Shu, you dare to hit me!"
But Yan Shu just looked at her coldly, her expression calm.
"Yan Ruxue, if something happens to my mother, do you think you can still return to Yan State alive?"
Yan Ruxue was shocked when she heard this, her face turned pale, and she said with some bluffing: "You dare!"
Yan Shu chuckled, her beautiful eyes slightly raised, looking at Yan Ruxue in front of her, with a hint of hatred and coldness in her eyes.
"If you don't believe me, then you can give it a try and see if I dare or not."
Yan Ruxue had never seen Yan Shu so cruel before, and was stunned for a moment.
Qi and Chu, who were standing by, did not seem to have expected that Lady Yan, who looked gentle and kind, could be so decisive and ruthless in her actions. They could not help but feel a little afraid for a moment.
But then they thought that it was Princess Qionghua who provoked Concubine Yan first, which led to this disaster. If they just stayed quiet and didn't cause trouble, they would naturally not suffer.
So the two of them changed their panic and took the initiative to show their goodwill to Yan Shu.
Yan Shu glanced at Yan Ruxue, who was covering her face and looking quite embarrassed at the moment, snorted coldly and ignored her.
She raised her eyes and looked at the two people who were showing goodwill to her, her red lips slightly raised, and her eyes, which were cold just now, were now full of smiles.
"The two princesses just arrived at the Xiao Palace yesterday, so I'm afraid they haven't been able to appreciate the scenery of Luochi. How about we go boating together today and enjoy the beautiful scenery together?"
Seeing Yan Shu's gentle look at this moment, the two princesses Qi and Chu naturally nodded in agreement immediately.
So the three of them set out together and took the black-covered boat on Naluo Pond.
Yan Ruxue saw that Qi and Chu had turned against Yan Shu, and she was already very angry.
Looking at the three people on the boat, led by Yan Shu, Yan Ruxue angrily stomped on the flowers that she had just thrown on the ground.
"Bitch! All of them are bitches!"
Yan Ruxue was so angry that she cursed loudly, but even if she was angry at the moment, she could only vent her anger from afar by looking at the figures boating on the lake.
Yan Qingwan, who was standing by, naturally took all of this in. She stepped forward and feigned concern, saying, "Princess, why are you so angry? Concubine Yan is favored and powerful, and will one day be crowned the Queen of the Xiao Kingdom. She is currently the most powerful person in the Xiao Palace. Why would you offend her?"
Yan Qingwan's words seemed to be persuasion, but in fact she was constantly reminding Yan Ruxue that Yan Shu was about to become the queen.
This was like a thorn in Yan Ruxue's heart.
"Why should she be the queen! She is just the daughter of a little concubine, how can she be qualified to be the queen!" Yan Ruxue gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with anger looking in the direction of Yan Shu, with hatred in her heart.
Seeing Yan Ruxue so excited, Yan Qingwan laughed secretly in her heart, and deliberately spoke slowly,
"Of course, Concubine Yan is very much favored by the King." After saying this, she sighed as if she was worried. "It's a pity that even the Queen Mother couldn't persuade the King to change his mind. After all, Concubine Yan's maternal family is only slightly weaker, and there's nothing to say about her behavior. Even if the Queen Mother doesn't approve, she has no reason to oppose her according to etiquette and law."
"It's a pity for Princess Qionghua. With the three princesses entering the palace, the Queen Mother favors you the most for the position of Queen."
After Yan Qingwan finished speaking, she seemed to sigh and lament, and her face also looked unwilling for Yan Ruxue.
Yan Ruxue, who was still immersed in anger, raised her eyes and looked at Yan Qingwan beside her after hearing this, and a hint of excitement immediately appeared in her eyes.
"You mean, if we can find fault with Yan Shu, she won't be able to be the queen?"
