Chapter 46 Teaching the Concubine Sister in Public
"The eldest princess was born into the royal family and was born noble. Come to think of it, no one dares to treat the eldest princess in a positive and negative way, with a kind face and a dark heart, and a knife in the back, repaying kindness with hatred!"
Chu Yunxi's words popped out one by one, and all smart people could understand. She was referring to mulberry trees and scolding huai trees, and she was clearly scolding Chu Xue'er. Chu Xue'er was so embarrassed that she was about to cry.
"Sister, how could you insult my sister like this in public? We are biological sisters."
Chu Xueer couldn't help but interrupt Chu Yunxi, and if she continued to speak, she would become that heinous sinner. Her words, both inside and outside, were saying that Chu Yunxi ignored her sisterly feelings and bullied her younger sister.
"What am I saying about you? You have a guilty conscience?" Chu Yunxi looked puzzled.
"I, you obviously..."
Chu Xueer wanted to defend herself, but Chu Yunxi didn't give her this chance:
"You are obviously a concubine. Tell the truth. How can you insult her?"
Chu Xueer only felt that the opening and closing of Chu Yunxi's two lips could send her to hell. She bit her lower lip for a moment and her chest heaved. But Chu Yunxi continued:
"The eldest princess didn't know the inside story and invited you to the flower viewing feast. You should lower your eyebrows, keep your mouth shut, be honest, and be grateful. But you can't wait to show off, for fear that others won't see you jumping around."
Chu Yunxi looked at her with disgust:
"Don't you know that your position is behind my mother and me? Why don't you come here? It's embarrassing!"
Chu Yunxi showed her full sister's majesty and asked Chu Xueer to only listen to the instructions and not to have any fits in front of everyone.
She had no choice but to sob and wipe her tears. She stood behind Mrs. Chu, so that everyone could see how arrogant and domineering Chu Yunxi was, and how she, a concubine, endured the humiliation of Chu Yunxi, her sister-in-law.
Chu Xueer has been a legitimate daughter for a long time, but she doesn't know that in the eyes of these real ladies, a concubine is just a toy.
It is natural for the eldest sister to teach the concubine a lesson. Who cares whether she is wronged or not? Instead, she is happy to watch her laugh.
"Elder Princess, ladies and gentlemen, you have made everyone laugh. Xi'er apologizes to everyone on behalf of my concubine, please don't disturb everyone's enjoyment of flower appreciation."
Chu Yunxi once again acted as a legitimate sister to clean up the mess for her concubine who had made a mistake.
The eldest princess of Pingyao didn't say much anymore. Chu Xueer couldn't stand up on her own. If she showed up again, she wouldn't get into trouble.
Chu Xueer's nails dug into the palms of her hands, and her body trembled slightly. Damn Chu Yunxi. She should be stupid, ignorant, and unknown. She was allowed to be played with by the applause, but she still wanted to steal her limelight and kicked her. She
Make her life worse than death.
A good show of sisters pinching each other did not affect everyone's mood of admiring the flowers, but instead gave them more fun to talk about.
"Cousin" Su Yan bumped Chu Yunxi's arm and asked in a low voice: "When did you become enlightened?"
Chu Yunxi laughed and looked at her playfully: "It's all because of my cousin's good teaching. I have to thank my cousin."
Su Yan also burst into laughter: "My cousin is not only enlightened, but also much more interesting." She was no longer holding on to her as before. Suddenly she felt closer to her than before.
The two cousins talked quietly and admired the rare and rare flowers. They felt very comfortable.
"Princess Guo!" Su Yan happily pulled Chu Yunxi over when she saw her best friend: "Come on, let me introduce you. That is my friend, Princess Guo, the youngest daughter of King Hao."
Su Yan wanted Chu Yunxi to make more friends and not be deceived by Chu Xueer's false intentions.
King Hao's youngest daughter, isn't that Jun Zifeng's sister? Chu Yunxi has a good impression of Jun Zifeng, so he thinks his sister will be just as good.
"I've met the princess." Chu Yunxi took the initiative to salute.
"Princess, this is my cousin, Chu Yunxi." Su Yan introduced with a smile.
Princess Guo has always heard her brother talk about Chu Yunxi's amazing talents in the past few days. She has already developed a crush on Chu Yunxi. Now that she has met her in person, she realizes that her brother is not exaggerating.
"I have only heard of your good reputation in the past, but now that I have met you, you are indeed a rare beauty."
"Princess Guo is the one with extraordinary temperament." Chu Yunxi smiled humbly. They were of the same age and they quickly chatted together.
Chu Xueer, who followed Mrs. Chu and sat down obediently, looked at the reactions of the ladies and ladies around her from time to time, but it seemed that everyone was laughing at her.
The ladies who had played well with her in the past also stayed away from her now, for fear of getting together with her and lowering their status.
Even Mrs. Chu ignored her and only chatted with the countess beside her.
"Let me tell you, Mrs. Chu, you are too kind-hearted. Who else would raise a concubine like this? Farmers and snakes are not without exception."
Chu Xueer was alone, and had to listen to other people's cynicism. She couldn't get angry, so she could only lower her eyebrows and think about her plans later, so that she could feel better.
The ladies and ladies from each house had almost finished their greetings, and the banquet had begun one after another. The ladies and ladies from each house also returned to their seats and stopped wandering around.
The eldest princess of Pingyao raised her wine glass: "I hope everyone can enjoy today's banquet without being rude."
"How could it happen? The flowers and plants in the eldest princess's mansion are more spiritual than anywhere else. We are in for a treat."
"Yes, yes, being able to have wine among these flowers is truly a beautiful thing in the world. It's all thanks to the eldest princess."
The wives of each family said some compliments and raised their glasses to drink. They were all fruit wines, which were not intoxicating, but sweet and delicious.
Mrs. Chu only sipped it because she was pregnant.
Chu Yunxi smelled her cup and found nothing unusual. Since she was at the banquet, it was hard not to eat and drink. What's more, she had taken antidote pills in advance. With this in mind, she took a few sips and entered her mouth.
Spicy, sweet, and delicious.
Chu Xueer caught a glimpse of her drinking, and a disdainful smile appeared on her lips.
"It's boring to drink like this. I wonder if anyone has any good ideas to cheer up?" The eldest princess looked at everyone.
"Elder Princess." Shen Bing, the daughter of the Minister of War, stood up and gave a salute.
"In the last palace banquet, Miss Chu won three titles by herself, and her dancing skills were unparalleled. Why don't we let Miss Chu dance a song to cheer everyone up? I just don't know if Miss Chu is willing.
Are you willing to give face to all the ladies?"
When Chu Yunxi heard someone praise her so highly, she raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Bing. She remembered her, the daughter of the Minister of War. She saw Shen Bing give her a mischievous smile.
She was comparing her, Chu Yunxi, to the dancing girl who was showing off her laughter. A group of ladies and ladies were sitting and drinking, watching her dance alone.
What a good plan. If she disagrees, she will look down on everyone present. Those who came to the banquet are all ladies and ladies from noble families, and no one can be offended.
"Hearing what you said, I also want to see Yunxi's dancing. Yunxi, are you willing to dance for us?" The eldest princess asked the question to Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi had no choice but to stand up: "Back to the eldest princess, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I didn't expect that I would need to perform a dance today. On my head, I have the white jade plum blossom hairpin rewarded by the emperor, and on my hand, I have
Wearing the late queen’s phoenix jade bracelet.”
She said, stroking her head to her hands, letting everyone see clearly.
I have seen so many young ladies give in and give in, and suddenly someone is flamboyant and wanton, but it is hard for people to find fault. It is really inappropriate to let the gift given by the emperor follow Chu Yunxi to please everyone.
"That's easy to do, why not take it off first and let the eldest princess keep it for you. After you finish dancing, I will return it to you." Xiao Feifei came out to help again.
Chu Yunxi smiled: "I don't dare to hand over the things given by the emperor to others for safekeeping. If it is damaged, it is no one's fault. I have a good idea."
"Oh? Tell me." The eldest princess seemed to be very tolerant of her.
