C357 quarrelling of second wives (1/2)
Most of the women in the Shangguan family shouldn't have missed such a good time. Yet, there were only a few that Mu Ru Yue had seen today. As for the rest of the girls, most of them came from normal families. It was a bit confusing. In addition, according to the documents, it was supposed to be a court festival where the subjects enjoyed themselves together with the people.
When they had just arrived, there were officials and women from the Shangguan Family. Now, however, they were nearly absent. This strangeness caused one to be unable to help from having some doubts in their heart.
It wasn't only Mu Ru Yue who felt puzzled about this. At this moment, Jiang Zilan, who was looking dejectedly at the scene of Mu Rong Yue preparing to use a red peony to express his condition, also felt that it was extremely strange.
In previous years, it was mostly the children of officials who had put forward various conditions here. Why did it seem as if all of them had disappeared today? Plus the one that was here just now. Could something have happened?
What happened while they were looking for the red peony?
Jiang Zilan was filled with doubts, but it was useless as Mu Ru Yue was currently above him. Even if he wanted to ask, there was nowhere for him to do so, so he could only give up.
”Now, please state your request. If it's promised by the royal family, they will naturally fulfill your wish for you. If they did not give their consent, you all can get some compensation right now. ”
As Princess Wushuang spoke, her gaze landed on Murong Yue. When she looked at Mu Ru Yue, Princess Wushuang's eyes were filled with disdain. As the Seventh Princess' wife, she actually dared to covet such a thing. How laughable!
The woman that little bastard Feng Chen had taken a fancy to was indeed someone he couldn't match up to.
The empress had always wanted Mu Ru Yue to die, but Mu Ru Yue had always been very lucky. Moreover, she had the Phoenix Seep to protect Mu Ru Yue time and time again, which allowed her to get off scot-free for so long.
However, even though she couldn't give Mu Ru Yue a substantial blow, the empress wouldn't let go of this black man's chance. She then asked, ”Your majesty, the one that is standing next to Feng Qing, is he the Seventh Princess?”
”Seventh Princess?” When the Emperor heard this, he frowned. He was extremely familiar with Mu Ru Yue. Especially recently, the name had always appeared in the various secret letters in front of his desk.
Each of these secret letters would give him a headache. He had always pampered his son because this woman had become strange. Although the direction she had changed towards him would benefit him in the end, in the end, it still made him feel disgusted.
As an Emperor, what he loathed the most were variables. This Mu Ru Yue was a huge variable. Moreover, in the recent imperial city as well as the imperial palace, there were indeed too many discussions about her.
Therefore, the emperor said, ”Why is the Seventh Princess in the crowd? As a member of the royal family, how can I snatch the opportunity away from the common people? ” The emperor asked in dissatisfaction.
The Queen almost laughed out loud when she heard this. But on the surface, she still didn't seem to agree. ”That's right, your majesty. This Seventh Princess really does seem a bit out of place.” Wouldn't we, the royals, be ridiculed like this?
As an imperial concubine, what was there to wait until the future? Do you really have to waste your slot now? ”
The Emperor nodded his head and was about to order his men to reprimand Murong Yue when he heard Mei Fei say, ”Your Majesty, please calm your anger. You said it yourself, this is to share the same joy as the people. If only the commoners are allowed to participate, then wouldn't that mean the people of the imperial family would be separated from them?
Although it was said that it was for their sake, but … I came out from among them. I just want to be equal and not let the people of the royal family be separated from me. Even if it was just a little bit of benefits, it was still good. If we reprimand Seventh Princess now, wouldn't that mean that we've lost our original intention? ”
Mei Fei's tone was very gentle, and every word she said seemed to make a lot of sense. This caused the Emperor to be unable to refrain from nodding. When the empress saw that the emperor had listened to Mei Fei's words, she was immediately infuriated.
This little bitch was always going against her. Even something like this had to go against her. The emperor would actually listen to this little bitch's bewitching words! Even though she hated her to death, the empress tried her best to maintain a smile on her face. ”What little sister said, the emperor said it for their own good. Saying a thousand things is Seventh Princess' fault.”
It was already benevolent for the emperor to grant the Seventh Princess the right to come here. She actually didn't understand the general situation. This was truly outrageous. The Prime Minister really didn't know how to teach his daughter. Just looking at it makes one's heart turn cold. ”
When the empress spoke, she was already carrying a gun and a stick. The entire palace knew that Mei Fei was related to the prime minister. Otherwise, she wouldn't have plotted against the empress during the selection for the crown prince. The empress's words had obviously ignited her anger onto Mei Fei.
