Chapter 56: A slap in the face and a sweet date
Look, what if we defeat the opponent?
Still have to live in each other's shadow?
When Yueli was secretly happy, Chen Chaolu did not forget to glance at Yueli. Seeing Yueli's smirking expression, her face turned dark.
But today is her consecration banquet, and no matter how much she dislikes Yueli, she cannot cause trouble for her.
Otherwise, Xie Lixing would not let her have any good consequences.
When Chen Chaolu looked at Yueli, Huiyun thought she was exchanging glances with Xie Lixing under the emperor's nose.
Huiyun's eyes were filled with malice.
The reason why he didn't speak or take action was because Concubine Rou was not favored now.
Huiyun, who has no backing, naturally has to be careful about her words and actions. Even if she still likes Xie Lixing as much as before, she cannot cause trouble at her father's banquet to confer the title of concubine.
In this way, her father would completely dislike her.
The more Huiyun thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, especially since she just found out today that that bitch Chen Chaolu was fooling her.
It was obvious that Xie Lixing's favorite person was her, but she said that Xie Lixing's favorite person was Yueli!
Bitch! Bitch!
Huiyun's jealousy filled her entire chest, her mind was full of possessiveness towards Xie Lixing and the wrong information Chen Chaolu had told her.
The emperor sat in the first seat, taking in the expressions of everyone below him.
The emperor was surprised by Huiyun's patience.
He thought that Huiyun would be eager to show her hand to Chen Chao.
[The old emperor was deliberately embarrassing Lubao. Moreover, he lifted Princess Huiyun's house arrest at this time. His intentions are obvious to everyone!]
[Of course. No matter how much Concubine Rou's rank was demoted, she was still the emperor's favorite woman for many years. Chen Chaolu wiped out Concubine Rou's mother's family with just one letter. This is not a provocation to Concubine Rou's mother's family, but a provocation to the imperial power!]
The Prime Minister has been a bit carried away lately, forgetting that the Emperor hates people like him the most.
[It's Chen Laodeng's fault, why should we have to pay for it?]
[Because your Lubao is his daughter~]
The answers in the barrage are so mean.
In fact, what the barrage said is not wrong.
Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. The Prime Minister said that if we can get evidence of the crime of Concubine Rou's mother's family, we can get evidence of the other party's crime. Who would believe it?
It was obvious that he had something on the other party, but he was holding it back and had not yet presented it to the emperor.
A prime minister has more eyes and ears than the emperor. Can the emperor tolerate this?
Naturally, I can't stand it.
Chen Chaolu's rank was promoted, but it was such a shabby promotion that all the officials in the court were laughing at the prime minister behind his back. Isn't this the effect the emperor wanted?
He was telling all the officials: I favor Chen Chaolu, but that doesn’t mean the Chen family can surpass me!
The prime minister obviously also knew the emperor's plan, so he has been very quiet in recent days and has done nothing.
Even though his daughter's rank was raised in a frustrating way, he endured it.
Everyone had their own thoughts while eating this meal.
When the banquet for conferring the title of consort was about to end, Huiyun came to Xie Lixing, holding up her wine glass, and said, "Brother Xing, long time no see."
When she was facing Xie Lixing, she always looked naive.
It seems that in this way, Xie Lixing will not know her vicious side.
Xie Lixing frowned, "Princess, please respect yourself. I have already married a wife."
As he spoke, he did not forget to glance at Chen Chaolu, as if he was afraid that Chen Chaolu would misunderstand him.
In fact, Xie Lixing was afraid that Huiyun would misunderstand, so he deliberately did this little trick.
Huiyun noticed Xie Lixing's actions and gnashed her teeth secretly. Then she turned to look at Chen Zhaolu and gave her a very sinister smile, "So what if he married me? Can't he divorce me?"
Huiyun turned her head and twisted her hand, about to spill the wine in the glass onto Yueli.
Sensing her movement, Yueli immediately jumped behind Xie Lixing.
She was not some fool waiting for the princess to splash her.
While Yueli was hiding, Xie Lixing had already knocked Huiyun away, and the wine in her hand spilled all over herself.
Xie Lixing looked down at Huiyun who was thrown to the ground, "Princess, you are drunk. You should rest early."
Having said that, he turned around and left, pulling Yueli.
He could let Huiyun misunderstand, but he would never let Huiyun bully his Ali in front of him!
Yueli, who was being dragged away, turned around to look at Princess Huiyun's face. Seeing the sinister eyes as venomous as a poisonous snake, Yueli lamented in her heart: All the little tricks today were in vain!
I just hope Huiyun doesn't join forces with Chen Chaolu.
If the two of them don't join forces, Yueli still has the confidence to defeat them one by one. If they join forces, it will take Yueli some time to deal with them.
After Yueli left, Huiyun got up from the ground. In front of many people, she straightened her clothes and left with her chest held high.
Before leaving, she looked back at Chen Chaolu.
That glance told Chen Chaolu that their temporary alliance had been torn up by Princess Huiyun.
Princess Huiyun left. Princess Weijia, who had been sitting beside her, stood up and said, "Father, Sister Huiyun doesn't look very happy. I'll go check on her."
Compared with the arrogant Princess Huiyun, Princess Weijia is much more low-key.
Her dress and demeanor are more in line with the appearance of a royal child than Huiyun's.
Princess Weijia was the daughter of the empress dowager. She was extremely talented and was a role model for the noble ladies in the capital.
"Go." Compared to when he was dealing with Huiyun, the emperor was much more patient when facing Weijia.
Wei Jia bowed, then turned and left.
Weijia caught up with Huiyun, who was in a hurry, and said, "Sister!"
Hearing Weijia's voice, Huiyun paused slightly and frowned unhappily, "What are you following me for?"
She looked unhappy, but her tone was much gentler than when she spoke to others.
"I'm worried about you."
"What do I have to worry about?" Huiyun's expression improved a lot.
"Sister, the Prince Regent has already married, and... people in the capital are saying that the Prince Regent dotes on his wife excessively. This shows that he is sincere in his love for the Princess Regent. You should stay out of this."
Weijia's words made Huiyun's gaze move from the ground to her face inch by inch.
"You mean, I was tricked?"
"Um?"
Weijia looked confused, not understanding why she said that.
Huiyun pinched her face and said, "You are just too naive. Sister is fine, you can go back!" After that, Huiyun turned and left.
It looks like he's going to look for someone.
After watching Huiyun leave, the confusion on Weijia's face faded away, replaced by a calm expression.
"Princess, she seems to be going..."
The palace maid wanted to speak, but when Wei Jia glanced at her, she immediately shut up.
After the palace maid shut up, Weijia immediately put on a gentle expression and left with brisk steps.
As Yueli got on the carriage, she suddenly felt something hairy on her back.
It's like being stared at by a cold-blooded animal.
[Wow, Yueli is in trouble. Huiyun knows she's been tricked!]
[Serves her right! Let her trick us into revealing our secrets!]
