Towards the end of the year, a palace banquet was about to be held in the palace, and with Princess Yongan returning home, the homecoming banquet was held very grandly, not only many royal relatives and relatives, but also some powerful officials attended.
This time, all the masters of Prince Rong's Mansion were dispatched.
After entering the palace, Princess Rong took Princess Guan, Luo Qilan, Tang Shan, Shi Fuxin, and Guan Xiuyan to Shoukang Palace to meet the Queen Mother.
Chu Yao, on the other hand, followed Old Prince Rong, Prince Rong, Chu Xuan, and Chu Zhao to meet the emperor.
When they separated, Chu Yao and Shi Fuxin looked at each other. Their eyes were solemn. They both knew that today's homecoming banquet would not be peaceful, and they were mentally prepared to 'go to the battlefield'.
In the Shoukang Palace, almost all the princes, concubines, and court ladies had arrived. As soon as Old Princess Rong entered the palace with Shi Fuxin and her entourage, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Prince Rong and Prince Yingzong are direct brothers from the same mother. The Empress Dowager and Princess Rong, as two brothers, are full-blooded sisters-in-law.
Therefore, as soon as Old Princess Rong arrived, the Queen Mother laughed and waved to Old Princess Rong to sit next to her.
The Empress Dowager openly expressed her closeness, which was very helpful to Princess Rong, but she still remembered the rules and only dared to sit over after smiling and saluting.
After she sat down, Shi Fuxin followed Luo Qilan, and Tang Shan stepped forward to pay homage to the Empress Dowager.
After the three of them finished their salutes, the Empress Dowager smiled and praised the old Princess Rong: "They are all good children. Now that the three grandchildren are married, you can enjoy a happy life."
After hearing this, Princess Rong suddenly showed a helpless look: "The Empress Dowager is a person with profound blessings, how can she be like me..." She glanced at Shi Fuxin, then at Luo Qilan, and then she said:
It goes without saying.
A trace of annoyance flashed in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, today is Yong'an's homecoming banquet, not a family complaining banquet at Prince Rong's palace.
Who among the people present doesn’t know all the troubles going on in Prince Rong’s Mansion?
The smile on the Empress Dowager's face did not change, and she said in a serious tone: "You are just too worried. If you want to tell the Aijia, you should let go and let your children and grandchildren fiddle with themselves. If you are not deaf or dumb, you will not be a family man."
Let go of your hands and you will feel relaxed."
The implication is that Princess Rong is too lenient.
Princess Rong's expression turned stiff, knowing that she had offended the Empress Dowager, so she could only smile and nod in agreement.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager did not want to mention the affairs of Prince Rong's Mansion, the ladies smiled and talked about other matters. Even the Queen did not go to trouble Shi Fuxin. The whole hall was suddenly filled with laughter and laughter.
Although Prince Rong's palace is no longer the focus, Princess Yong'an and Shi Funin, who are sitting on the other side of the Queen Mother, still look at Shi Fuxin worriedly.
They had heard a lot about the various rumors about Shi Fuxin after she married into the palace. They originally thought that with Shi Fuxin's temperament, she would not be wronged, but today they saw with their own eyes that Princess Rong openly spread the rumors regardless of the occasion.
Family scandal is on their minds again.
No matter how powerful a person is, it will be difficult for him to encounter such a confused elder who can't figure it out.
Shi Fuxin met the worried eyes of Shi Fuyin and Princess Yong'an, and smiled and gave them a 'reassuring' look.
Even so, Shi Fuyin was still a little worried, especially when she saw that everyone was secretly looking at the female family members of Prince Rong's palace, which made her even more worried.
Speaking of which, the reason why everyone pays so much attention to Prince Rongqing's Palace is that the gossip in Prince Rongqing's Palace is so different from other families.
First, as the legitimate son of the royal family, Chu Yao has such a tense relationship with the royal family, which is rare in other families.
Secondly, Luo Qilan was born in the Qingguo Palace. After the Qingguo Palace fell, she actually occupied the position of the princess of the palace, which was really unexpected.
Because of Chu Xuan's deep affection, all the female relatives couldn't help but want to know what Luo Qilan was capable of, which made the prince of the palace so persistent.
The third one is Shi Fuxin. This person has openly offended the crown prince and the fourth prince. Her reputation is no less than that of Chu Yao. Because of this, everyone jokingly calls the two a perfect match.
Next is the old man Tianchi who appeared in the capital some time ago. Because of his appearance, Shi Fuxin became the master of the eldest prince. Under such circumstances, even people who are not interested in Shi Fuxin can't help but want to know more about him.
Hit her.
Because of this, even the eldest princess who was present received a lot of attention.
After marrying the eldest prince, the eldest prince's concubine also encountered a lot of embarrassments. The scrutiny of the female family members present did not make her feel troubled.
His Highness has already given instructions on how to treat Shi Fuxin.
‘Don’t bother unless it’s absolutely necessary.’
These are His Highness's exact words, which means that when they meet on weekdays, she does not need to treat Shi Fuxin as an elder, nor does she need to take the initiative to get close to him. His Highness even hopes that she can stay away from this little master.<
/p>
With His Highness's instructions, it would be easier for her to just ignore this little master.
The eldest princess originally thought that she would be besieged by her sisters-in-law because of this incident, but what she didn't expect was that neither the prince nor the other princesses used this incident to seriously hurt her.
She also knew the legend about the descendants of the Long family, and understood that the princes did not want His Highness to be involved with the descendants of the Long family...
There were many people who were as absent-minded as the eldest princess. Time passed slowly in the subtle atmosphere, and soon it was time for the banquet.
The Empress Dowager was old and lacked energy, so she did not attend the palace banquet. The female family members went to the banquet hall under the leadership of the empress.
......
When they arrived at the banquet hall, Shi Fuxin walked over to Chu Yao and sat down, and both of them gave each other a 'nothing' look.
When the banquet began, Shi Fuxin ate silently.
After three drinks, Shi Fuxin was called out!
"Brother Yao's daughter-in-law!"
Shi Fuxin thought to herself, "Here we come." She raised her head to look at Princess Qingyang who had spoken, with a cold look in her eyes and a smile on her face.
Everyone else present also became energetic, with a look in their eyes as if they were watching a good show.
Knowing that Princess Qingyang was looking for trouble, Shi Fuxin didn't wait for her to say anything, and took the lead in raising her wine glass to her: "According to seniority, I should call the princess sister. Through this homecoming banquet, my younger brothers and sisters will toast to the princess and sister."
, I’ll do it first out of respect.”
Princess Qingyang's "Brother Yao's daughter-in-law" just now was obviously the tone of an elder calling a junior, but Shi Fuxin's words directly showed that the two are equals.
Princess Qingyang looked a little ugly, and said with a smile: "You are really articulate, no wonder she bullied the elders to retreat as soon as you married into the palace."
Shi Fuxin's face was full of surprise: "Why did the princess say this? I didn't say that I had never done such a thing. Even if I had done it, how did the princess know about it? Did the princess have an spy in the palace?"
"Hiss~"
Everyone gasped.
Can such words be said at a palace banquet?
And in front of the emperor!
Don’t you know that Princess Qingyang is the emperor’s favorite sister?
Everyone couldn't help but glance at the emperor in the high position. Seeing that the emperor just listened silently and showed no reaction, everyone quickly looked away.
Prince Rong, who had always had no sense of presence, had a glimmer of light in his eyes, and he took a serious look at Shi Fuxin, his granddaughter-in-law, for the first time.
"What nonsense!"
Princess Qingyang glared at Shi Fuxin: "Have I ever placed an informant in the palace? In front of the emperor, you dare to talk nonsense."
Shi Fuxin was puzzled: "If the princess has no spy, how do you know what happened in the palace?"
Princess Qingyang snorted coldly: "What you did in the palace has spread throughout the capital. Ask the people present, who doesn't know about the good things you have done?"
Shi Fuxin smiled: "Since they are just rumors, treat them as untrue. How can we rely on hearsay to determine the truth of the matter? What is the difference between being blind and deaf."
As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped again, and the emperor's eyes narrowed when he looked at Shi Fuxin.
This time, more eyes were on Shi Fuxin.
Princess Chengyang looked at Gongsun Ming and Hu Xinrui, who were sitting side by side, and felt very happy in her heart. Fortunately, her son did not choose the daughter of the family.
Fuxin is so bold this time!
When Princess Qingyang attacked Shi Fuxin, Fan Mingyu showed strong disapproval on his face, but when he heard Shi Fuxin openly mocking Princess Qingyang, his face showed some anger.
Jin, who was sitting next to him, was filled with sarcasm when she saw him in a dilemma.
What a passionate person. Even the daughters of the Shi family are married to other people, but they still can't let go of them!
Faced with Princess Qingyang's attack, Shi Fuxin retorted back with a few words. Looking at Princess Qingyang who was so angry that she couldn't speak, everyone thought that the matter should end here. Who would have thought that Princess Rong would be here now?
Stand up.
"Brother Yao's daughter-in-law, how could you speak to Qingyang like this? Why don't you apologize quickly!"
Shi Fuxin looked at Princess Rong expressionlessly, unmoved.
Chu Yao on the side also looked gloomy, his hands on his legs were clenched into fists, and his teeth were clenched.
At this time, Princess Qingyang smiled: "Have you seen that the old princess has already spoken, but as the grandson's daughter-in-law, she doesn't follow her instructions? Isn't this contradictory or unfilial?"
"Hmph, you dare to be so disobedient in front of us. You can imagine how arrogant you would be in the palace on weekdays!"
After saying that, Princess Qingyang looked at the emperor: "Brother, Brother Yao's daughter-in-law is disobedient and unfilial. If all the wives of the clan were like her, wouldn't the clan system be in chaos? You have to punish her." She asked the emperor.
The appearance of calling the shots.
The emperor looked thoughtful and suddenly looked at the eldest prince: "Boss, what do you think?"
The eldest prince's heart was pounding at the moment. He already understood that what happened to Princess Qingyang today was instigated by his father, and the purpose was to alienate the relationship between himself and his master.
After thinking about this, the eldest prince stood up with a pale face and gritted his teeth and said: "Shi's disrespect for his elders should indeed be punished according to the patriarchal law to set the record straight."
After hearing the eldest prince's answer, the hall was no longer as quiet as before, and there were noisy discussions.
It is unheard of to punish the master at the disciple's request.
If Shi Fuxin is disrespectful to her elders, then the eldest prince's behavior is even more unfilial. You must know that once you are a teacher, you will always be a father.
However, this also officially proves that the eldest prince does not regard the daughter of the Shi family as his master, and it was just a joke that Miracle Doctor Zhan took the girl as his disciple.
Shi Fuxin didn't seem to expect that the eldest prince would be like this. She looked over in astonishment, with disbelief on her face.
When the emperor saw it, his expression was somewhat unclear. After thinking for a while, he looked at Shi Fuxin: "Shi, do you have something to say?"
Shi Fuxin was deeply hit, and everyone could clearly see that she was suppressing her anger towards the eldest prince.
"Your Majesty, what is wrong with my wife? As a wife of the royal family, I don't even have a chance to defend myself? As long as someone accuses me personally, I have to admit it unconditionally? I don't accept it.
!"
Shi Fuxin said angrily, while stepping on Chu Yao who wanted to defend her, and then threw a bomb-like words at Princess Rong and everyone present.
"Grandma, I know you hate me. My eldest brother and second brother are infertile and have no heirs. I am really powerless. It's not that I don't want to heal them."
"I know you love your eldest and second brothers, but my husband is also your grandson, and I am also your grandson-in-law. Why do you force me so hard?"
The fact that Chu Xuan and Chu Zhao were unable to have children had long been ordered to die by the old princess and they were kept secret.
No one in the palace expected Shi Fuxin to say it openly.
Chu Xuan and his wife, Chu Zhao and his wife, who were watching Chu Yao and Shi Fuxin's drama before, are now livid.
No man is willing to admit that he is incompetent and still show it to others in public. Chu Xuan only feels extremely ashamed, and Chu Zhao looks at Shi Fuxin with eyes that are as if they have been quenched with poison.
Shi Fuxin shifted her focus to the family affairs in Prince Rong's Mansion, and the Emperor couldn't say anything at this time.
The queen who had been silent until now suddenly spoke, still speaking for Shi Fuxin: "Old princess, I feel that you may have really misunderstood Brother Yao's daughter-in-law."
"I remember that Yongshou seemed to have a difficult time having children before. Thanks to the magic medicine given by Mrs. Anguo, now she has a child, Cheng Huan."
"In terms of closeness and distance, Yongshou cannot be compared with the palace. I believe that if Brother Yao's daughter-in-law really has her way, she will definitely not disobey your orders."
On the surface, the queen was speaking for Shi Fuxin, but in fact she was trying to alienate her.
What is the relationship between closeness and distance?
This is to remind the people in the palace that Shi Fuxin does not regard them as family at all.
Because of the Queen's words, everyone now remembered Shi Fuxin's other identity, the disciple of Old Man Tianchi!
Although I don’t know what Shi Fuxin’s medical skills are, she is the disciple of Old Man Tianchi after all, so she must be somewhat capable.
The emperor also smiled at the queen's words: "What does the queen mean?"
The queen smiled more and more appropriately: "Your Majesty, the apprentice of the old man Tianchi married into the royal family. This is the blessing of the royal family. With her here, the royal family will be less sick."
"Brother Yao's daughter-in-law is indeed disrespectful to the old princess. How about punishing Brother Yao's daughter-in-law to treat the royal family exclusively in the future?"
The emperor seemed to think this suggestion was a good one. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Shi Fuxin burst into laughter.
The emperor and the queen looked at each other displeased at the same time.
Queen: "Brother Yao, daughter-in-law, why are you laughing?"
Shi Fuxin looked at her: "Empress, do you know who you cannot offend, regardless of your identity?"
The queen frowned and looked at Shi Fuxin without saying anything.
Shi Fuxin asked herself and answered: "The Queen is used to being dignified, so she probably doesn't know. Let me tell you. Cooks and doctors cannot be offended casually."
"Do you know why?"
"If you offend the cook, he will spit some saliva in your food and add some disgusting ingredients, such as excrement and so on..."
Uh...
There was a sound of retching in the hall.
Shi Fuxin continued: "It would be even more terrible to offend the doctor..."
The queen was shocked by these words. Not only her, but everyone present did not expect Shi Fuxin to dare to say such words. Didn't she want her life?
Even Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin in shock.
Shi Fuxin looked at the emperor with a smile: "Your Majesty, we are from the Tianshan miraculous doctor lineage. Our medical treatment is never threatened by others. As the descendants of the Long family, we are only used by the emperor."
The emperor was silent. Looking at the rumors he knew about the descendants of the Long family, it was true that there had never been any deeds that threatened the imperial power.
The others were also silent, almost forgetting that Shi Fuxin was still the descendant of the Long family.
Heir of the Long family, as long as this identity is used properly, who dares to despise it?
