However, as soon as she said these words, there was a burst of "hahaha" laughter from the entire Erliuyun Palace.
"Listen now, the sixth prince's concubine is truly a fool. She can't even understand the word 'covet'."
"Yeah, crucian carp? What kind of fish is crucian carp? Do you know?"
"It seems to be a kind of fish that common people often eat."
"Haha, who knows."
"..."
Suddenly, the entire hall was filled with voices of discussion. Although the volume was not loud, it seemed noisy when there were more people.
Even Princess Qingwu, who was standing next to the Empress Dowager, couldn't help but pick up the handkerchief and cover her mouth, and laughed softly after hearing this.
Yu Wenxu, on the other hand, after hearing Yun Rongrong say such words, he just picked up the wine glass and took a sip without any expression on his face.
To be more precise, he was not surprised at all when such words came out of Yun Rongrong's mouth. He even thought it was normal.
Of course, at this moment, he still had some pleasure in revenge. And the target of this revenge was naturally the old emperor.
It was he who asked him to marry Yun Rongrong as his concubine, and it was he who told him to bring Rongrong to the palace banquet today.
In this case, even if he was embarrassed, he didn't think it was embarrassing him, but the old emperor's face.
It's a pity that although he thinks so, others don't think so.
No, the Ninth Prince Yu Wenye had a sneer on his face and said, "Sixth Brother, your newly married concubine is really a treasure. She is so interesting to talk to."
In any case, the Ninth Prince is also a member of the royal family, and he cannot say anything that is too outrageous. Therefore, even the words of ridicule are very civilized.
The seventh prince Yu Wenshuo on the side also had an expression of suppressed laughter that hurt him internally and agreed: "What Ninth Brother said is very true."
After all, from the crown prince to the fifth prince, they have all grown up. At this time, they have long lost the mentality of children. On an occasion like today, although they all feel extremely happy when Yu Wenxu makes a fool of himself, they don't look like him on the face.
The Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince were so careless with their words, just to show off their quick words.
"Oh, it is indeed a treasure."
Yu Wenxu knew that these words were derogatory, but he was not angry at all. He just chuckled and did not deny it.
But seeing his behavior in the eyes of others, he couldn't help but think: An idiot is an idiot, and he can't even understand good or bad words.
In the main seat, after hearing Yun Rongrong's words, the Queen Mother's face became even more angry.
"Emperor, look, this is the good concubine you want the Sixth Prince to marry. How can she be qualified to attend a palace banquet like today?!"
"What your mother said is wrong. Girl Rongrong is the distinguished guest I invited today, not to mention she is just a 'fool'. Why do you have to be serious with a 'fool'? Since she wants to eat the food on my table
, so what if I just let her have a taste?"
The old emperor didn't take it seriously, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and his tone of voice remained gentle.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and told Eunuch Hua: "Go and get someone to add a chair. Just let Rongrong girl sit with me."
"Your Majesty, this is... inappropriate."
The queen, who was sitting not far from the emperor, heard this and quickly gave words of advice.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was so angry that she didn't even want to say anything.
"Emperor, since this silly girl is the honored guest you invited today, the Ai family will leave first. You can enjoy your meal with this silly girl."
After finishing speaking, the Empress Dowager stood up suddenly, fluttered her sleeves and strode away.
Princess Qingwu didn't expect the Queen Mother to leave the table suddenly. She quickly chased after her and shouted: "The Queen Mother..."
However, the Empress Dowager was obviously very angry this time, and ignored Princess Qingwu's cry, and just walked out of the hall with a complacent and angry look.
Princess Qingwu had no choice but to turn around and quickly bow to the old emperor and salute: "Your Majesty, Qingwu will go and comfort the Empress Dowager first. Qingwu will leave."
After saying that, she quickly chased after the empress dowager.
In just a short while, the Empress Dowager had already left Liuyun Palace, and this appearance undoubtedly caused the atmosphere in Liuyun Palace to plunge into freezing point again, and the surroundings were completely silent.
When the old emperor saw the empress dowager leaving, he just lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and did not let anyone stop her.
He smiled slightly, and then said: "Queen, since the Queen Mother is gone, then you can sit in the Queen Mother's seat."
"Yes, I obey your order."
Although the queen felt that this matter was inappropriate, she did not dare to say anything in front of the old emperor and could only respond respectfully.
But after the old emperor said this, he looked at Yun Rongrong with a warm smile and said: "Rongrong girl, come here, come and sit down."
As he spoke, he pointed to the spot where the queen had been sitting before and spoke.
Seeing this, Yun Rongrong couldn't figure out what the old emperor was thinking, but as an "idiot", she naturally had no choice but to nod happily: "Okay."
After saying that, she stood up and walked quickly towards that location with a silly smile.
This scene immediately caused everyone present in Liuyun Palace to burst into uproar.
Whether it was the concubines or the princes, no one present expected that the old emperor would treat a fool so kindly.
Even Yu Wenxu and Sikong Jin couldn't figure it out.
Therefore, when Yun Rongrong stood up and walked over, the two of them looked at each other in a tacit understanding, but their eyes were full of confusion.
You know, although the current emperor cannot be called a 100% wise king, he has always done things in a measured way.
If something like today had happened in the past, in their understanding, he would never have done it.
But now, he would rather offend the Queen Mother than rely on Yun Rongrong, a fool.
Strange, this is really strange.
Could it be said that there is something in Yun Rongrong that is worthy of the emperor doing this?
Or is he just doing it for the sake of Qingyun Villa?
Questions arose in the minds of everyone present, but no one dared to ask them clearly.
The Dragon Boat Festival palace banquet is still going on. After the previous turmoil about Yun Rongrong, nothing strange happened at this banquet.
It's just that in Liuyun Palace, there were some changes in the way a few people looked at Yun Rongrong.
All these changes were secretly seen by Yun Rongrong and remembered in her heart.
It was indispensable that the concubines in the palace had a rare opportunity to see the old emperor, so naturally they would not miss the opportunity to express themselves.
After that, they looked for opportunities and competed to perform their talents in order to attract the attention of the old emperor.
