Qin Rou bit her lower lip, as if she couldn't believe that this boy who was two years younger than her was so disrespectful to him in this situation?!
Who does he think he is?! He's just a bastard whose own father is a traitor!
But in such a big scene, Qin Rou still has some sense. No matter how angry she is, she doesn't dare to make a mistake in such a scene, so she can only stamp her feet angrily and say with a smile, "Master Xia is really good at joking!"
Mr. Xia's words were extremely rude, and many people's expressions immediately became subtle.
Seeing this, Xia Lishuang glanced at Qin Huaiyi.
"Although Lin'er is the son of the imperial brother, he has a pure nature and has suffered a lot since he was a child. I want to raise him under my knees. Although he has not yet had flesh and blood, his love for licking the calf has not diminished by half! Miss Qin calls him this, but it is a bit inappropriate. It’s done!”
The whole place was in an uproar again.
"I didn't say anything before, but I just felt that Lin'er was still young and could not take on big responsibilities. He was extremely low-key and did not want to show off. But now... I have made a lot of mistakes during this period, including the impeachment of the Wen family, and even more What's more, he is insinuating the queen..."
Xia Lishuang smiled while holding the wine glass, and the coercion in her tone instantly spread throughout the audience.
"I have established myself at a young age. I have an elder brother above me and a son below me. Those of you who are anxious to surround me with people think that I will not live until that time, don't you?"
The last sentence was not heavy, but the upward pitch of the final note carried an absolute sense of oppression. For a moment, the whole place was silent.
"I brought Lin'er out today just to tell you that...an adopted son is also a son, and I am also a person with future generations! Lin'er is gifted and smart, and he only needs to work hard for the people in the future. As for the future, I have my own plans, and I won't offend you. Come and worry about my housework, let alone play such little tricks..."
Xia Lishuang's tone was calm, but it instantly intimidated the entire audience.
Qin Rou was still kneeling in the middle of the crowd, and felt a chill in her body after hearing this.
"Okay, I'm just expressing my opinion on today's matter. Now that it's the Lantern Festival Night Banquet, we should be more happy! You can continue!"
Xia Lishuang ended her words simply, but the ministers no longer had the same harmony as before.
Behind the curtain of the banquet, Gu Sijia looked from a distance, looking at the scene of the monarch and his subjects enjoying themselves, and couldn't help but feel jealous.
In the past, she could attend the banquet openly, but now... ever since Wen Ranran made it clear that day, she now doesn't even have a reason to enter the hall!
Why?! Why!
The jealousy in Gu Sijia's heart almost burst out. She looked at Wen Ranran with hateful eyes, wishing to burn a hole in the other person's body.
After sitting down, Qin Rou ran out crying with an almost pale face.
Turning around, he happened to bump into Gu Sijia at the door.
Gu Sijia put away her expression at this moment and just looked at Qin Rou indifferently.
"How is it? I have told you before that that woman is not so easy to deal with!"
Gu Sijia smiled slightly and looked at Qin Rou, "It's true that I used you before, because I also like Your Majesty, so much that I would even die for him! I don't hesitate to do things that are harmful to nature... But compared with If I form an alliance, will I suffer defeat from the other party and make it even more uncomfortable?!"
Qin Rou's eyes were red, and she stared at Gu Sijia fiercely.
"Can't you see it yet? Your Majesty did this, and even gave the throne to that bastard prince of unknown origin, just to divert all the public opinion focused on Wen Ranran!"
Qin Rou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, looking at Gu Sijia, her heart skipped a beat.
Gu Sijia could never forget the humiliation in the palace that day, and neither could Qin Rou.
"Sister, do you have any good ideas?!" Qin Rou gritted her teeth and looked at Gu Sijia.
