As soon as these words came out, Yun Baozhu and Wu Jingyi froze and stood aside without speaking.
Yun Zishu nodded slowly: "Yes, Concubine De said before that the Dongyou royal family didn't think much of Dayong. I was also worried that I would be ostracized and oppressed when I went to Dongyou alone. Having one more sister would give me more confidence.
, so as not to let yourself be isolated and helpless in a foreign country.”
One more sister, more confidence?
Wu Jingyi sneered in her heart, was she talking about Yun Zishu when she opened her eyes and told lies? She clearly let them dowry her out of malicious revenge, and now they have become her confidence again?
"If you really don't like it, bringing ten or eight more will have the same result." Concubine De said with a smile, "None of the noble ladies of Dayong have the power to tie a chicken. Is it possible that the princess is still planning to let her go?"
Do they help you fight?"
When Wu Jingyi and Yun Baozhu heard this, their expressions became even uglier.
Let them fight? Is it possible that all Dongyou women are good at fighting?
"This request to marry the legitimate princess is the intention of Crown Prince Dongyou. His Royal Highness, despite having so many noble girls in Dongyou, insists on marrying me, the legitimate princess of Dayong. This proves that the prince takes Dayong seriously."
Concubine Shu smiled softly, "Concubine De, don't scare our noble daughter Dongyou."
This sentence not only safeguarded Dayong's dignity and pleased the Queen Mother, but also belittled the noble ladies of Dongyou - after all, no matter how good the noble ladies of Dongyou were, the prince would not look down on them. Doesn't it mean that he dislikes them?
Concubine De's expression changed slightly, and she smiled coldly: "Who knows if the prince really has a crush on the princess, or if he has other plans?"
"Insolent!" The Queen Mother's expression suddenly turned cold, her eyebrows were calm and powerful, "Is Princess Dongyou so unruly?"
Concubine De's expression changed, and she twisted the handkerchief in her hands without saying a word.
"The marriage between Dongyou and Dayong is for the sake of good relations between the two countries. Prince Dongyou took the initiative to ask to marry the princess, and it must be because of Xinyue, the princess. Concubine De had better not say such unintentional words in the future, otherwise the Ai family will not be able to spare you.
"The Queen Mother said coldly, "Don't just rely on yourself being Princess Dongyou to act unscrupulously in the Emperor's harem."
"The Empress Dowager is right." Concubine Ming Xian smiled, "Since she married Dayong, Concubine De will be Dayong's concubine from now on. Dayong will take charge of all matters, and the emperor will be the most respected.
Put yourself in Dongyou’s shoes.”
Yun Zishu sat quietly, with a calm curve at the corner of her lips. Seeing Concubine De's face turning red, lowering her head and not daring to say a word, she secretly thought that she was an inexperienced little girl, relying on Dongyou's powerful soldiers and horses.
Even if the family has some influence in Dongyou, they dare to show off in front of the Queen Mother and the concubines. This is obviously a mindless style.
Although Dongyou is strong, Dayong is not weak either. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the monarchs of the two countries cannot easily start a war.
After all, fighting wastes people and money. Who would have nothing to do and raise troops to fight at every turn?
Emperor Zhaoming did have some scruples about Dongyou, because he didn't want the Feng family to go to war, but the Queen Mother had no scruples. When it came time to go to war, who did the Feng family army have to be afraid of?
How dare a young girl act so arrogantly in front of the Queen Mother? She is just asking for embarrassment.
"I...that's not what I mean." After a long while, Concubine De hesitated to speak, as if to explain what she meant, "I want to say that Dongyou has always placed great emphasis on military commanders, and most of the noble ladies from the aristocratic families are also good at it.
Half-style, even if the princess has to bring a dowry, she can still choose some women who can do martial arts, or even if she can't do martial arts, she must at least be strong, so as to ensure that-"
"Concubine De, you are worrying too much." Yun Zishu said with a smile, "I went to Dongyou to marry the prince, not to fight. Even if the ladies of Dongyou are all strong, how can they?
There is no heir in your eyes, but you are watching me all day long, waiting to find trouble with me, the quasi-Crown Princess? If so, I wonder if it is still necessary for such a arrogant family to exist?"
"I...I didn't mean that..." Concubine De was speechless and her face turned green and white, "Of course the Dongyou family respects the royal family and the prince..."
"Then Concubine De's worries don't exist."
Concubine De choked, then lowered her head and smiled unnaturally: "Yes, I am worrying too much."
Yun Zishu turned to look at the Queen Mother, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. After my granddaughter goes, Dongyou will definitely protect himself and the accompanying sisters, and will never let others bully us, let alone lose us."
It has ruined the face of the Dayong royal family."
The Queen Mother hummed: "The Ai family believes in you and will definitely maintain the style of Princess Dayong."
The expressions of the concubines present were subtle.
The style of a direct princess?
Her demeanor is indeed good, and she has traveled thousands of miles to deceive the royal nobles in Dongyou who have never seen a real noble daughter. If she stays in Dayong, I am afraid that no young master from an aristocratic family will dare to worship this princess.
But even if they thought so in their hearts, everyone would not say it out loud, they would all compliment him and say nice things without sincerity.
Yun Zishu listened with a smile, as if she was acting. Some people are responsible for acting and others are responsible for watching. As long as the scene is lively enough and the plot is exciting enough, who cares what they really think?
After sitting for a while, the palace servants came over to ask the Queen Mother for instructions. The family banquet was ready, and all the masters were invited to take their seats.
The Queen Mother stood up, and the concubines and royal princesses surrounded the Queen Mother and walked to the main hall where the banquet was held. Everyone took their seats in order according to their status.
"Zishu." The Queen Mother held Zishu's hand, "Do you want to sit next to Aijia?"
The original seating arrangement should have been for Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian to sit with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother's table was filled with elders, but the Queen Mother spoke up, and Zishu, the legitimate princess, was naturally qualified to sit next to her.
But Yun Zishu shook her head: "After the banquet is over, my granddaughter will stay and talk to the Queen Mother.
"That's fine."
Yun Zishu sat at another table with the other princesses, princesses, and ladies. Among them, she had the most noble status, so she naturally sat at the head seat.
In this way, all the people who were dissatisfied with Yun Zishu sat together. As soon as Yun Zishu sat down, she received several pairs of hostile words from Yun Zirou, Yun Zijiao, Wu Jingyi, Yun Baozhu, etc.
and angry eyes.
"What?" Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at these pairs of eyes that seemed to share the same hatred, "You wish you could tear me into pieces?"
Yun Zirou lowered her voice and said coldly: "You only have such confidence because of your marriage. Do you really think that marriage is a talisman, a medicine of immortality?"
Yun Zishu smiled faintly: "Marriage is not a talisman, nor is it a medicine of immortality, but there is no need to worry too much before it happens. However, the Eighth Sister's status has plummeted, and the concubine has been demoted from a noble concubine to Zhaorong, which has a great impact on you.
