C251 Reversing Black and White (1/2)

On the banquet stage, Xiao Wen mocked County Governor Dong Zhuo of Xiliang County in Longxi dialect. Zhang Cang and Lu Yuan, who didn't understand Long Xi dialect, were all very well off. However, the noble sons of the eastern clans who had come to attend the banquet had all been carefully selected. In order to avoid accidentally offending those Western aristocrats, they could at least understand Longxi's language.

Therefore, when they heard Xiao Wen ridicule Dong Zhuo in Longxi, their faces turned red. On the one hand, they wanted to laugh at Dong Zhuo's behavior of stealing chickens without eating rice. On the other hand, Dong Zhuo was still a noble. To them, it was an existence they could not afford to offend.

Therefore, they could only suppress their laughter with flushed faces. Other than the occasional sizzling sound that came from somewhere, the entire audience was silent for a moment.

Looking at the expressions of those people, Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask the palace maid responsible for the translation of the words into female officials, ”What was that man saying just now?”

”This …” Hearing Lu Yuan's question, the girl was in a difficult position.

After all, even though Xiao Wen dared to say those kinds of words, the palace maid didn't dare to voice them out loud.

As if he had seen through the worries of the palace maid, Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, ”Just say it. If the other party isn't even able to take revenge on my behalf, how can they take revenge on my personal palace maid? ”

Then, she paused and said to Dong Zhuo in a warning tone, ”Master Dong Zhuo, if anything happens to my palace maid because she was talking about you and good deeds, don't blame me for being rude. If I have to deal with a Marquis, this princess will not have any problem at all. ”

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo's face, which was originally very dark, instantly turned into a black hole that absorbed light.

However, Lu Yuan was the Grand Princess after all, so he didn't dare to say anything.

After a long pause, he could only clasp his hands together, ”I shall listen to the Grand Princess.”

”Very good.” Lu Yuan nodded his head in satisfaction and said, ”Since that's the case, tell me quickly what Lord Dong and Good Fortune said just now!”

Thus, under Lu Yuan's pressure, the palace maid told him everything that had just happened.

From how Dong Zhuo stole the lacquer ware from the merchants in the clouds to how Xiao Wen compared the porcelain from the east with the lacquer ware from the west cold, it showed that the lacquer ware was not something that was popular in the world. This palace maid spoke in full detail.

The crowd, including Xiao Wen and Dong Zhuo, also felt that the palace maid's words were quite objective. She didn't favor any side and directly turned the words she said to the big man into official language.

However, just as the palace maid finished speaking, Dong Zhuo immediately said, ”Grand Princess, I was not trying to stop your palace maid from speaking. I just want you, your highness, to stand up for this old official. ”

”Make the decision for you?” Hearing that, Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and said in a unclear tone.

However, Xiao Wen, who was extremely close to Lu Yuan, felt a trace of ridicule from Lu Yuan.

He looked at Lu Yuan with a puzzled expression.

The Grand Princess seemed to not plan to maintain the balance between the nobles, but to side with him.

”Is that such an obvious hint? Could it be that the Grand Princess really wants me to be her cannon fodder and political ally? ” In that moment, Xiao Wen quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Did he have to rely on Lu Yuan, or did he have to maintain his relationship with the Eastern Aristocrat Clan …
