Zhu Meiren was dull, or maybe she didn't care much about other things except cooking, so she didn't feel the strange expressions of everyone.
She waited for Ye Fuxun because she had a new idea: "Sister, I went back to think about the black roast pork. I can make some changes to the seasoning of the sauce..."
When it came to food, Ye Fuxun was naturally full of interest and quietly discussed it with Zhu Meiren.
It's not that she didn't see the strange looks in the concubines' eyes, but she never cared about them.
It wasn't until the Crown Princess came in that the two of them stopped talking happily.
The Crown Princess glanced at the concubines and mentioned the Zhao delegation's visit to Beijing.
"The State of Zhao is an ally of our State of Yan. After the delegation comes to Beijing this time, our Prince's Palace will probably be responsible for hosting them."
Someone asked out of curiosity: "Mother, when will the delegation arrive in Beijing?"
The Crown Princess paused for a moment: "According to the time, I'm afraid it will arrive in two days."
The concubines whispered again.
At this moment, Bicui stepped into the main hall, glanced at Ye Fuxun quickly, walked to the hall and knelt down to the Crown Princess and said: "Your Majesty, there is a girl at the door of the house asking to meet, saying that she is a good friend with Ye Liangyuan."
The Crown Princess looked at Ye Fuxun with questioning eyes: "Ye Liangyuan, who is this person...?"
Ye Fuxun thought for a while and asked Bicui, "Miss Bicui, did the girl who asked to meet outside the house give her name?"
Bicui responded: "Back in Liangdi, that girl calls herself Ah Qiu."
Ye Fuxun was startled and quickly looked at the Crown Princess: "Madam, Miss Ah Qiu is indeed someone I know. I wonder if I can let her in?"
"Since you are Ye Liangyuan's friend, let's bring him in." The Crown Princess nodded.
The concubines nearby looked at each other, and someone murmured: "After leaving the palace, friends come to visit me? This is the first time I have heard of it."
"How can a good-looking girl find her best friend's husband like this?"
"Could it be..."
Everyone was whispering to each other, everyone wanted to see who the unknown Ah Qiu was.
Not long after, Bicui led Ah Qiu into the palace.
Ah Qiu is wearing women's clothing today, a bright yellow cross-collar gauze skirt, with fluttering butterflies embroidered on the skirt. When she walks, the butterflies flutter, which is very beautiful.
She glanced at the concubines in the palace, was shocked by the large number of people, and opened her mouth unconsciously.
He soon saw Ye Fuxun, blinked at Ye Fuxun, calmed his expression, and then stepped forward to salute the Crown Princess.
"It's quite presumptuous to come here today. Fortunately, the Crown Princess is tolerant and kind and doesn't care about the younger woman's rudeness." She said with a smile.
The Crown Princess nodded slightly.
Then Luo Liangdi snorted softly: "This girl Ah Qiu looks strange, I wonder if she is a girl from some house in the capital?"
Ye Fuxun frowned, walked up to Ah Qiu and pulled her: "Luo Liangdi, Ah Qiu is not from the capital."
Luo Liangdi said "Oh" meaningfully and raised her tone: "So you are not from the capital, so why are you so ignorant of etiquette?"
"What do you mean by this?" Ye Fuxun suddenly turned cold, "Aqiu is my friend, and I want Luo Liangdi to apologize to her."
Luo Liangdi sneered coldly: "Ye Liangyuan, could you please tell me where I made the mistake? If you can tell me the truth, it would not be impossible for me to apologize."
"Although Ah Qiu is not from the capital," Ye Fuxun looked at her calmly, his aura suddenly turning cold, "She came to visit our Prince's Mansion, and she has done all the etiquette she should have. How come she doesn't understand etiquette?"
"Even if everything was in compliance with etiquette after she came in," Luo Liangdi smiled half-heartedly, "but just from the point of view of her entering the house, it was no longer in compliance with etiquette."
She took a step forward, looked around and said, "Sisters, which girl who has not yet left the palace would visit her best friend's husband's house for no reason? If you tell me this, do you still need the reputation? In other words, our Crown Princess is kind and generous, and we are afraid of this
Miss Ah Qiu stood outside the mansion and was looked down upon. She was embarrassed, so she was invited to come inside."
Her words stepped on Ah Qiu and flattered the Crown Princess, killing two birds with one stone.
Luo Liangdi glanced at Ye Fuxun arrogantly, "However, since Ye Liangyuan said that Miss Aqiu is not from the capital, it is possible that she does not know these etiquette. I am just kindly reminding Miss Aqiu to prevent her from doing the same thing again in the future.
It was a mistake that I regretted only after I really lost my reputation."
"Ye Liangyuan, please understand my sister's hard work and don't get angry."
Ye Fuxun laughed angrily, and without even looking at Luo Liangdi, she raised her eyes and looked at the Crown Princess: "Madam, I think Ah Qiu is not at fault, but Luo Liangdi is so aggressive, it really brings shame on our Crown Prince's Palace.
"
The Crown Princess raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Ye Fuxun with unclear meaning.
In terms of emotion and reason, what Luo Liangdi said was not wrong in her opinion.
Although she was a bit aggressive in speaking so bluntly.
However, Ye Liangyuan retorted so mercilessly——
Could it be that there is something shameful about this girl Ah Qiu's life experience?
The princess always thinks more than others.
In addition, she is now bent on winning over Ye Fuxun, so she will naturally lean towards her.
"Ye Liangyuan," she spoke slowly, "how do you say this?"
Ye Fuxun straightened his back: "If Miss Ah Qiu is just my best friend, it would be inappropriate to come to the Prince's Mansion rashly. However, Miss Ah Qiu's identity is not just that."
She turned her head and glanced at Luo Liangdi, "Ah Qiu came in and just greeted the empress. Before he introduced himself, Luo Liangdi was so aggressive. Isn't it wrong?"
Luo Liangdi was scolded by Ye Fuxun, and she was stunned for a while before she realized what she was doing.
Ah Qiu patted Ye Fuxun's hand and held her hand. She smiled at the Crown Princess: "It seems that Ah Qiu took the liberty and made the Crown Princess laugh. Ah Xun is right. Ah Qiu hasn't announced his family status yet.
Naturally, it is easy to cause misunderstandings.”
"Ah Qiu is indeed not from the capital. In fact, Ah Qiu is not from the Yan country."
"I am from the State of Zhao, and I am Princess Baoyuan of the royal family of the State of Zhao."
As soon as these words came out, the sound of gasping came one after another in the hall.
"What? The princess of Zhao Kingdom?"
"Why did Princess Zhao come to see Ye Liangdi?"
The Crown Princess' pupils shrank, she glanced at the concubines who were whispering, raised her hand and said: "Quiet."
The hall suddenly became quiet.
The Crown Princess quickly glanced at Ye Fuxun, and when she saw Ye Fuxun nodded slightly, she couldn't help but lean forward slightly: "Is this really Princess Baoyuan of Zhao Kingdom?"
"How is that possible?" Luo Liangdi couldn't help but screamed out, "Hasn't the Zhao State envoy not arrived in the capital yet? If a girl comes out of nowhere and claims that she is a princess, I'm not afraid of being sent to the official to punish you if the lie is revealed!"
"Shut up!" The Crown Princess glared at Luo Liangdi angrily.
