Chapter 289 Making things difficult
"This, I can't tell the specific reason..."
Chu Jing scratched his head. He seemed to have a thousand words, but he didn't know how to express them.
In the end, he could only hold back—
"There are so many noble ladies in Beijing, all of whom are beautiful and talented, but I found that those who have been in contact with the third cousin will end up with inexplicably bad reputations..."
"Okay, thank you for your reminder." Yu Yunxi nodded.
"You're welcome. When you see my concubine mother, just praise me in front of her. She always dislikes me. But she had a very good relationship with Aunt Huang, your mother, so what you said She must have listened."
Chu Jing smirked.
I see…
Yu Yunxi suddenly realized at this time.
No wonder this naive young man has been following her. It turned out to be because of Princess Hao.
"Oh, the palace banquet is about to start, and the emperor is coming soon, why haven't my father, queen mother and concubine arrived yet?"
Chu Jing muttered depressingly.
At this time, the voice of the **** came from the door: "The emperor, the empress dowager, the empress, the mother and concubine are here."
Empress Dowager?
When Yu Yunxi heard this, her expression changed slightly.
By the way, how could she have forgotten that Xichu also has a queen dowager.
After Empress Xiao passed away, under the pressure of his ministers, the Supreme Emperor appointed Concubine Fang Gui as his successor.
So when the Supreme Emperor abdicated, Fang also became the Empress Dowager.
She is still the current emperor, Chu Zai's biological mother.
Yu Yunxi's mind is now full of the complicated relationship between the Western Chu royal family, and she didn't notice it at all, and the expressions of the officials were also very subtle.
"Didn't you say that the Supreme Emperor will come today? Why are there only the Emperor and the Empress Dowager?"
"Shh, the Supreme Emperor has been in seclusion for many years, and he hasn't been out of the mountain for at least twenty years. He probably won't return to the palace because of this trivial matter."
"Today is a critical day for the eldest princess to return, how can it be said to be a trivial matter?"
"Princess Changning is still a sinner in Xichu. After so many years, has the Supreme Emperor rehabilitated her? No, it means that it is true that she poisoned and murdered the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor will not hold their mother and daughter accountable. That's fine, why do you still pay attention to them?"
"That's right, if you really value it, you won't let the eldest princess hold a palace banquet three months after returning to Beijing. After all, the Supreme Emperor still hates Princess Changning in his heart."
"That's right, the Supreme Emperor hasn't deprived her of the title of 'Eldest Princess', but it's because he has already issued an oral order back then, and it is difficult to accept the holy words. However, Xi Chu raised a powerless, empty-name elder Princess is fine."
"..."
Just because the Supreme Emperor did not show up, all the ministers of Western Chu have already despised Yun Xi in private.
Meng Xia also thought of this, and she was extremely anxious.
"The Supreme Emperor clearly said that he would come today, why didn't he come all of a sudden." She murmured softly.
"Meng Xia, pay attention to the occasion and don't lose your word." Yu Yunxi reminded Meng Xia softly.
Regardless of whether her grandfather came or not, she is still the eldest princess of Xichu. This is a fact that no one can change.
From the beginning to the end, Yu Yunxi maintained a calm demeanor.
On the opposite side, the fourth prince said something meaningful to the prince: "Brother Huang, it seems that our cousin is not ordinary."
There was a flash of light in the eyes of the prince.
If she is a waste, I am afraid that the imperial grandfather will not tolerate her coming back.
Because of his status, Chu Jing had to sit slightly behind Yu Yunxi.
So he could only anxiously listen to these people's arguments, but he couldn't help Yu Yunxi.
In the hall, after Chu Zai sat down, his eyes looked at Yun Xi.
"You are the daughter of Emperor Changning, right?"
Yu Yunxi looked up and met a pair of sharp eyes.
He looks very similar to Empress Dowager Fang, and being stared at by him makes people feel very uncomfortable.
This voice...
Since Qin Wencheng and the others were sitting near the door, they didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the hall.
While they were pouring wine and drinking, they suddenly felt that the voice was a little familiar.
Qin Wencheng suddenly looked up at Yu Yunxi.
In order to make the main hall bright, many night pearls were placed here.
Behind Yunxi, there is a gigantic night pearl.
But when she stood beside the scorching light, she felt even more radiant.
Looking at her face, he was stunned.
She is the eldest princess?
Why is she so similar to the woman in Fumanlou that day?
"Xiaoxiao, my mother won a chance for you to meet the queen. After the palace banquet is over, you go to see the queen, and you must behave well." Sitting on the seat of the minister's family, she lowered her voice to remind Yu Xiaoxiao.
But Yu Xiaoxiao didn't seem to hear her words.
She has been staring at Yu Yunxi's profile.
After realizing it, she held Shang Shi's hand tightly, and said anxiously: "Mother, that **** is the one who snatched our mountain dwelling map!"
"What?"
Shang also hurriedly looked over.
When she saw Yu Yunxi's eyebrows and eyes that were very similar to Chang Ning's, her heart sank.
In a trance, she had a kind of leader Chu Changning standing in front of her, telling them to stay away from the Zhenbei Palace in an arrogant tone, and not to drag the Zhenbei King.
After regaining consciousness, she broke out in a cold sweat.
No, no, no, Chu Changning is dead, and the uncle will never return to Beijing. The Zhenbei Palace is their second room, and it will always be!
Another little bitch, she will not be afraid.
"Don't be afraid, the Supreme Emperor will not come to support her, she just has the title of eldest princess." Shang quickly comforted Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiaoxiao's heart also stabilized.
That's right, no matter who the other party is, it can't cause any trouble anyway.
"Changning's daughter is already this old, your name is Yun Xi, come to me quickly, let me take a good look at it."
At this moment, the Empress Dowager waved to Yun Xi.
Yu Yunxi lowered her eyes, then slowly walked to the middle of the main hall, and then walked up the hall.
The empress dowager held Yu Yunxi's hand, and then smiled kindly.
"It really resembles Changning's Shen Yun."
"Yeah, seeing her is like seeing Changning back then. It's a pity that she was Changning back then..." Queen Qin also responded.
But when she talked about Changning back then, her tone paused slightly, and the ministers below also quieted down, and the atmosphere became a little tense.
"I miss the empress dowager and the empress, I believe that my mother will know about you and will always miss you." Yu Yunxi slowly raised her eyes and said with a light smile.
After she said this, the faces of the Empress Dowager and Empress Qin were a little ugly.
Who wants to let a dead man miss it? unlucky!
"Why haven't you warmed up after covering your hands for so long, but you've caught a cold?" The Empress Dowager asked Yu Yunxi suddenly and worriedly.
It didn't mean Yun Xi responded at all, so she scolded Meng Xia angrily: "It's getting cold today, don't you know how to add clothes to your eldest princess?"
"Your servant is guilty." Meng Xia immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"Empress Dowager, don't be angry. It should be that Yun Xi's seat is facing the gate of the palace, so there is a cold wind. So, change the seat for Yun Xi. There is still a seat behind Princess Eleven. If not, let Yun Xi Xi sit over there."
Empress Qin suddenly suggested.
After she said this, the hall became quiet again.
Princess Eleven looks less than eight years old, and she is sitting in her seat eating pastry.
Behind her are the seats for ministers and women.
The dignified princess will take the position of the minister's wife. Is this the queen's unintentional move, or did she do it on purpose?
