Chapter 18 In the back hall
The three people in the room cast their gazes one after another.
The person at the door stood against the light. Her figure was cold and uninhibited in the dim light. With the unobstructed light behind her, the gleam made her even more noble.
"Princess Jing came really 'early'," said Mrs. Xu, the Marquis of Dingyuan's wife.
After moving her sleeves, she held Chu Beibei's hand openly and snorted coldly from the tip of her nose:
"I'm not lecturing you. As the hostess of Prince Jing's Mansion, it's only your mother-in-law's death anniversary that you have to handle for the younger generation, but on the day of her death, the prince's concubine and confidant didn't come early? Fortunately, the guests attending the memorial ceremony haven't come yet, otherwise you
You must lose your reputation as a bad housekeeper!"
Even before she came in, Chu Lingyue could tell that her words were directed at her. Now that Madam Xu was acting like this, it was obvious that she wanted to vent her anger on Chu Beibei and the Empress Dowager Tang.
With a crooked smile, Chu Lingyue placed the memorial tablet in her arms in the middle of the small square table, making it face to face with Lady Xu:
"I heard everything you said when you cried about my mother-in-law just now. You seem to miss my mother-in-law very much? I specially brought her memorial tablet over. You see things as you see people. What's on your mind? It doesn't matter if you cry, even if it's funny at the time.
Just say it in front of her. I believe my mother-in-law is also thinking about you down there."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xu's face froze, and she slowly raised her hand to symbolically wipe her eyes, but she didn't squeeze out a single tear for a while.
The atmosphere was frozen for a while.
Chu Lingyue just wanted to laugh when she saw it.
According to inquiries from Zhang Ma, this old woman had a good relationship with the Empress Dowager Tang when she was young. Concubine Gu was just a concubine with little status. What kind of friendship could there be between them?
It's just a cat crying and a mouse pretending to be compassionate, and now he is a hypocritical person who can't even put on a show!
After waiting for three full minutes, Madam Xu was still in a state of silence, and could not even say a few "sad" words.
At this point, Chu Lingyue stopped pretending to her and sneered: "You are not friendly when you are alive. You have been dead for so many years. Who can you show your acting to?"
As soon as these words came out, Madam Xu became angry and slapped the table, "Princess Jing, you are too arrogant! Who allowed you to be so disrespectful and ignorant of dignity?!"
After saying that, she stood up angrily, pointed at Chu Lingyue's nose and cursed: "In the past, you destroyed nine of your own tribes on the day you got married, and then you publicly contradicted the Queen Mother and challenged her! Now, not only did you beat the little Princess Annan who was kind and helpful, but you also ridiculed me here.
?”
"Don't think that just because you are a princess is great. When our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion protected our family and the country, our ancestors were famous all over the world, your King Jing was not born yet!"
"So?" Chu Lingyue was very calm, and the smile on his face did not fade.
Seeing that she didn't accept her move, Madam Xu became even more angry, and her voice became even louder:
"The little princess is a good child that the emperor holds in his hands and is afraid of falling. If you make amends to her today, I will ignore the villain's fault and spare you this time. If not, hum! I must let you understand.
Some rules!"
Seeing Madam Xu's crazy attitude, Chu Lingyue inexplicably felt a little fond of Chu Banshi, who made a special trip to remind her last night.
That stupid man reminded me well.
But he somewhat underestimated his own arrogance.
The peaks of her eyebrows raised, and the warm color on Chu Lingyue's face suddenly faded. In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire back hall became colder, "Only useless things need rules. I have lived for so many years, do I need your teaching?"
"Your good child has committed the following crime, disturbing my mood, hitting her to dirty my hands and weakening my strength. It is really an unforgivable crime. I'm afraid she is the one who should apologize?"
"By your so-called inferiority, do you mean that I, the dignified Princess Jing, cannot compare to you, an official wife?"
"They say the dead are the most important. If you make such a noise in my mother-in-law's ancestral hall, aren't you afraid of disturbing her purity and causing her to come to you at night?"
Chu Lingyue's continuous words made Madam Xu stuttered and couldn't say anything for a long time. Seeing this, Chu Beibei quickly took out a gold medal and angrily said:
"This is a reward from the emperor's uncle! Don't be so presumptuous! Since you don't want to be decent, I don't have to force it on you! Now I want you to apologize to the princess in front of all the guests, otherwise I will treat you as contemptuous
The imperial power arrests you!"
After hearing enough of the noise in the back hall, Tang Shiling winked at Yun Songwan, and the two of them stood up and entered the door.
After changing her indifference when she burned the paper, she came to Madam Xu's side and cried bitterly:
"Madam, please be noble and let our princess go! You know she has always had a bad temper and can't tolerate others in her eyes... Why do you bother to provoke her? Beibei is young and ignorant of the world. Please comfort her and stop her from provoking the princess again.
Got it!"
"Even...it's for the sake of Ling'er still living in Prince Jing's Mansion!"
As soon as Tang Shiling's crying sound came out, the guests who had just arrived near the ancestral hall came closer.
Guessing that she wanted to attract people to ruin the master's reputation, Qiu Ri and Chun Chao led the guests to burn paper, while the other closed the back hall door and stood guard outside.
Seeing this scene, Yun Shuangwan immediately came to Chu Lingyue and opened his mouth to persuade him with "good words":
"Sister Princess, no matter how dissatisfied you are with the people in this room, please let it go for the sake of everyone in Prince Jing's Mansion!"
"No matter how coquettish and unreasonable Princess Annan is, she is still a child that every family is vying to favor. Although Mrs. Dingyuanhou is just a woman, the Dingyuanhou family is full of loyal people, and the Tang Concubine is the Empress Dowager's most beloved niece.
Now that His Highness the Third Prince is present, after what you have done is spread, how will my brother gain a foothold among the elders and younger generations in the future?"
Chu Lingyue chuckled.
If it weren't for Yun Shuangwan's reminder, she would have forgotten that there was a third prince in the room who was silent from beginning to end.
Looking at his expression now, he looks calm and calm, as if he is not in the same dimension as these noisy women.
After grabbing the porcelain tablet, Chu Lingyue looked at the name of Concubine Gu engraved on it.
"Gu Lingxiu, what a good name."
Snapped!
The moment she finished speaking, she smashed the tablet into pieces. When several women in the room were shocked, she pinched a piece of the fragment and made two long, thick cuts on her face. Blood instantly covered her jade hands!
"You're crazy!" Madam Xu shouted, but unexpectedly the next second she saw Chu Lingyue approaching with a sinister smile, and soon, her hands were smeared red with blood.
Before these people could recover from their shock, Chu Lingyue let out a scream on the spot and rushed out of the door crying!
Although there was a lot of panic in autumn and spring, I still understood my master's meaning in one second.
Under the gaze of all the guests, the two held their master in their arms and burst into tears!
Chun Chao gritted his teeth and cursed at the few people in the room: "What a man of Dingyuanhou Mansion with great achievements and great power in the world! What a loyal and loyal minister, King Annan, who solves the emperor's problems and solves his problems! How dare he allow his family members to do this in our Prince Jing's Mansion?"
Use your power to bully others!"
"A person as powerful as our grandma was bullied like this by you on the anniversary of Concubine Gu's death. You bullied me too much! I will sue the emperor and let him see for himself what good things you have done!"
After hearing this, Qiu Ri immediately answered:
"Why bother! Aren't they all appointed by the emperor? In my opinion, just go to the prince and come back! After all, who else in the world besides the prince would really love grandma?! Even if the prince can't defeat the emperor, it's still better than grandma swallowing this alone.
The bad breath is good!"
Determining that the time was right, Chu Lingyue cried and persuaded: "Forget it, my husband has no power. If he makes a big fuss, it will only add trouble to him..."
The guests, who had already developed a gossip mind following the noise at that time, saw the livid faces of several people in the room, and immediately believed it to be true, and the roof of the ancestral hall was almost lifted by the discussion.
Chun Chao took this opportunity and rushed into the back hall, grabbed Chu Beibei and slapped her violently, "It's okay for you to climb on our grandma's head again and again, but you bullied her to this extent by relying on your imperial power!
Even if I die today, I will give you a black nose and a bruised face!"
Yun Sangwan saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately made amends and tried to break up the fight to preserve his kind and gentle persona. Unexpectedly, he was pushed away by Chun Chao before he met him, and was scolded by him and Tang Shiling:
"One of you is the prince's sweetheart, and the other is the prince's concubine, and now you are helping outsiders bully the real master with your elbows out! I don't beat you because grandma taught me to respect you! But I will definitely tell the prince about this matter.
! Just wait to be punished!"
"Chun Chao, don't be so presumptuous! Princess Annan is still young, what should I do if her hand is injured by such a heavy blow? Take her to get medicine quickly!" Chu Lingyue said with a weak look on her face.
After understanding this, Chun Chao deliberately made an impatient and angry look, and forced Chu Beibei away.
Autumn also responded quickly:
"Since grandma has decided to let them go now, we slaves can only rely on you... I will help you go back to your room and give them medicine."
The current development of the plot is a scene that Mrs. Xu would never have imagined.
Seeing that Chu Beibei's little devil was finished like this, she didn't dare to act any more, so she withdrew in dejection amidst everyone's accusations.
Qiu was still worried about Chu Lingyue's injuries. When she walked to the small garden, she found that her face was clean. Not only did she not have any injuries, her skin was more delicate and smooth than before.
Just as he was speechless, a slightly deep voice came from one side.
"It seems that the little emperor's uncle has married a fairy."
The master and the servant looked together and saw that it was the third prince Chu Yi.
This person has a tall figure, with a pair of slender legs beneath his extremely wide top and narrow shoulders and waist ratio. He holds a black bamboo fan gently waving in his hand, and he looks straight from head to toe.
Realizing that Chu Lingyue's eyes were very unfriendly, Chu Yi suddenly smiled: "Auntie, don't worry. It's just that it's rare to see such high-quality blood Gu with your own eyes. My nephew couldn't help but follow him on a whim."
Hearing these words, Chu Lingyue frowned. The densely packed blood Gu at the newly repaired wound instantly went into attack mode, and disappeared without a trace in just a moment.
"Your Highness, Third Prince, please come back."
Closing the fan, Chu Yi put his hands behind his back and bent slightly towards her, the smile on his lips deepened, "Goodbye."
Chapter completed!
