Lu Li suppressed the anger in his heart, stared at Shen Zi with eyes that were like quenching poison, and reluctantly thanked her, "Thank you, Miss Shen, for the compliment. I like this Bu Yao very much!"
Now was not the time to take action, she had to endure it, she had to endure it.
Lu Li clenched his fingers tightly and let his nails dig into her skin. He seemed not to feel any pain. After a while, she said to Gu Jingheng, "Look at Mr. Gu Haihan. What I said today is because my little girl was rude."
"What's so abrupt?"
"Your Majesty, long live our emperor!"
Several people immediately sang loudly, showing boundless awe. Although the visitor was wearing regular clothes, he could feel the endless pressure coming from him. This was something he was born with.
"Get up! It is said in Japan today that it is a family banquet, and there is no need to be polite." The emperor's lips parted slightly, and everyone stood up.
I saw a cold light flashing from the corner of the emperor's eyes, but the smile on his face was bright, but in fact it carried a breathtaking danger, "The banquet is about to start, why are you two still standing here?...Who are you?"
The sudden question and answer and the strong feeling of suffocation made Lu Li a little breathless. This was also the first time she saw the emperor.
However, she woke up instantly, gave a salute, stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, my daughter is Lu Li, the daughter of Lu Yuan, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
Those touching eyes looked at Lu Li. Suddenly, the emperor's expression changed drastically, with a trace of anger on his face, "Since you are a daughter of the fourth rank, why are you standing here? And this dress, there is no rule at all, look. There is nothing Lu Yuan can do to teach his daughter!"
Seeing the emperor's anger, Lu Li knelt on the ground for a moment. His knees were in severe pain. Lu Li's eyes were filled with tears and he said, "I am ignorant and have offended your majesty. Please allow me to change my clothes." "
"Ignorant? Raise your head"
"Are you the woman who stunned everyone at the Plum Appreciation Banquet?" The emperor's voice was loud and majestic.
After hearing this, Shen Zi sneered in her heart. Lu Li indeed shocked everyone at the plum blossom appreciation banquet, but there was another thing that impressed everyone - the real and fake bracelet.
The Plum Appreciation Banquet was organized by the Queen, and all the ladies from the aristocratic families and nobles in the palace were invited. Lu Li showed off there, which undoubtedly aroused everyone's discussion. In addition, with the incident of Princess Yongning, everyone with discernment would stand on the side of the royal family. Who would care? I will care about you, the daughter of a fourth-grade official.
Lu Li thought to herself that if she gained the emperor's favor, it would be easier to deal with Shen Zi in the future. She immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are my daughter!"
The emperor stared at Lu Li who was kneeling on the ground with a low eyebrow, and then looked at Gu Jingheng. In the past few years, although the Gu family has withdrawn from court disputes, its reputation is still there. It's a pity that
Gu Jinghuan was uneasy because of the emperor's deep gaze. But the emperor saw something. His Gu family's affairs were always secretive, could there be something wrong in it?
"Let me ask you, are all those poems written by you?" The emperor's tone was gentler than before, but Lu Li could still hear the emperor's doubts.
"Replying to Your Majesty, all come from my daughter." Lu Li looked at the emperor with clear and clean eyes, and replied swornly.
The emperor seemed to have no interest after hearing this answer. He just said step by step, "Interesting, really interesting..."
After the emperor left, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief. She had always seen those emperors on TV, but never in real life. When she saw them today, they were really extraordinary.
The maid behind Lu Li was also so frightened that she was sweating all over, and her heart was full of regret. With such a master, something might happen one day. First, they asked them to teach the minister's daughter a lesson, and then they offended His Majesty. When will such a day end? .
Although he was making arrangements in his mind, he still respectfully stepped forward to help Lu Li up and said cautiously, "Miss, we didn't prepare too many clothes, what should we do?"
Shen Zi, who was walking far away, heard these words clearly.
At this time, Princess Yongning was standing outside the door of Chaohua Palace, wandering back and forth anxiously, looking into the distance from time to time, as if she was waiting for something.
The little palace maid Mei Si on the side was a little worried, "Princess, let's go back if you don't want it! It's windy here and it's snowing again, so be careful of catching a cold."
When Yongning heard this, he frowned and said "tsk" impatiently.
Seeing this, Meisi didn't dare to speak anymore and quickly stepped aside.
At this moment, a young eunuch came from a distance.
Princess Yongning was filled with joy when she saw this eunuch, whom she had sent to Chaohua Palace to find out the news.
She stepped forward and asked impatiently, "What's wrong? Has Xi Meiren eaten it? Are there any symptoms after eating it?"
"have eaten!"
The little eunuch's face was full of pride.
"The slave watched with his own eyes that Beauty Ximei ate it. Not long after, he hurriedly summoned Gongtong. I think Beauty Ximei will not be able to come in a while."
"It's really okay." Yongning's face was full of smiles.
"This money is really well spent, and it will pay off in a short time." Yongning said, glancing at the palace maid next to him.
"Meisi, let's go. This princess is going to see Xiao Zi. If something big happens, don't call me princess. I haven't seen Zi'er for a long time. I don't know if Xiao Zi misses me." Yongning was led by Mei Si and was about to rush to Fanghua Palace.
But she saw another eunuch rushing up ahead. Yongning recognized him. He was the person she specially sent to guard Fanghua Palace.
At this moment, he was bowing to Yong Ning with a face full of joy, "Princess is so happy! So happy!"
Yongning's face was stunned. She was very happy to see Shen Zi, but she wasn't overjoyed, right?
"Tell me quickly, why are you so happy?"
"..."
What a great joy! The doubt on Yongning's face disappeared and was replaced by a smile.
"Xiaozi did a great job! Can you see it clearly? Are you sure she was slapped twice?"
The little father-in-law said with a smile, "It's absolutely true, can a slave still make the princess happy?"
"Hahaha!" The moment of joy made Yongning so happy that he couldn't find Bei.
"Hurry, Mei Si, let's hurry up and watch a good show. This princess has never seen her charming look. Who can show it to her!" She looked at the maid behind her. The maid understood Yongning's eyes very well and stuffed a purse in her pocket. In the hands of the little father-in-law.
The little father-in-law rested his weight and was satisfied. He said to Yong Ning's back, "Princess, next time something like this happens, I will call you a slave. I will do my best and die."
Before he finished speaking, Yong Ning had already walked away with Mei Si.
After Shen Zi claimed to be ill, she was not so happy. At the last palace banquet, Lu Li relied on his talents to show off among the young men. The daughter of a fourth-rank official had no sense of shame.
She was originally angry when she saw Lu Li, but unexpectedly, Gu Jingheng sent her back home. Was he pretending that Xiaozi didn't exist?
Xiaozi could bear it, but she, the princess, couldn't. She used to think that Gu Jingheng was a person worth relying on, but now he seemed to be no different from a scumbag. Before she married Xiaozi, she ate from the bowl and looked at the food in the pot. .
