In the past, Concubine Wu was aloof. Although she was not a queen, she was no different from the queen. Yun Zirou could walk sideways wherever she went, cheering in front of her, and enjoying endless scenery.
Now in just a few months, Concubine Wu and her son have gone through several ups and downs, and were finally demoted to Zhaorong. Naturally, the princess Yun Zirou has also plummeted, and she will never regain her former glory.
Demotion is secondary. In the past, mother and daughter might not have cared about it. As long as they are favored by their father, they will naturally return to the throne if there is a chance in the future.
But this time it's different.
Yun Chen's incident would probably become a thorn in his father's heart, and Yun Zirou felt uneasy thinking about it.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is about to get married and we may never see each other again." Yunzi lowered her eyes and said in a calm voice, "Is there no need to worry about some of the rifts that arose between you and your sisters in the past? You have to be merciful.
Be kind and open-minded, and you will feel more at ease."
Yun Zishu smiled half-heartedly and was too lazy to argue with her about this issue.
If you have to spare others, spare them.
People in the world like to use this sentence to restrain others when they are unreasonable or in a weak position, but they never reflect on the wrong things they have done.
Be lenient to yourself and strict to others.
"Nine sisters don't agree with what I said?" Yun Zijiao saw that her expression was mocking and couldn't help but frown and asked, "Do you think I'm not qualified to talk to you now?"
Yun Zishu smiled lightly: "Fourth sister has no qualifications from the beginning."
Yun Zijiao froze.
"I have always been unwilling to care, and I don't like to use my status to oppress others. However, there are people who always remind me that I am an unpopular princess and want to suppress me." Yun Zishu picked up a piece of crispy meat and looked at it casually.
Addressing everyone at the table, "I just want you to experience the feeling of reincarnation."
Cause and effect reincarnation?
Yun Zijiao's expression changed, and her hand holding the chopsticks tightened instantly. She thought that before she offended Yun Zishu, although An Huaishan was not a good person, her father-in-law was still a minister. Even if she, the fourth princess, was not favored, her life was not satisfactory.
, but on the surface she is still the daughter-in-law of an official family.
Now that the father-in-law is dead, the husband is stupid.
What's left of her?
She, a princess from a royal family, was reduced to serving a fool at home. If Yun Zishu hadn't been getting married soon, she might not have been qualified to attend even important palace banquets such as the Queen Mother's birthday.
All of this is Yun Zishu's revenge!
"A villain will not be proud for long if he succeeds." Yun Zirou smiled coldly, "The more a person lacks something, the more he likes to show off."
Yun Zishu slowly tasted the crispy chicken, and after swallowing the food, she nodded: "Yes, the eighth sister used to like to show off the most, but now that the confidence that allows you to show off is gone, naturally you can't continue.
I have to show off and have to keep a low profile, which is quite sad when I think about it.”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people at the table changed at the same time. They looked at her in disbelief, their eyes were shocked and angry, obviously they did not expect her to be so ruthless.
Among them, Yun Zirou and Wu Jingyi are the best.
"Why does Her Royal Highness the Princess speak so harshly?" Wu Jingyi said with a cold face, "To add insult to injury is the behavior that a Princess should have?"
Yun Zishu sighed lightly, with a mocking expression on her face.
Wu Jingyi used to rely on the power of Concubine Wu to be arrogant, almost the same as Yun Zirou. Who would have thought that the princess who everyone looked down upon in the past would actually stand up for herself?
The queen's mother died young, and her father did not favor her. The divorce caused a huge uproar, and her reputation was almost ruined. She openly advocated the need to be a servant, and did all kinds of deviant things.
According to past practices, such a temperament should have been severely punished long ago. Either he would be imprisoned in the princess's house for the rest of his life without freedom, or he would be randomly married to a child of a noble family, and from then on he would serve his parents-in-law, take care of his husband and raise his children.
Or they may be punished to practice Buddhism, always accompanied by the ancient Buddha with a green lantern.
Who has such incredible luck as Yun Zishu, who can actually turn around such a bad hand through marriage?
Today was supposed to be a wedding banquet for the royal family, but everyone present was really unhappy and wanted to tear Yun Zishu into pieces and swallow her.
"I seem to have aroused public anger." Yun Zishu smiled softly, lowered her head and started to eat, "Today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and I don't want to talk too fast with you, so please calm down for a while."
Yun Zirou squeezed her chopsticks hard, wishing she could insert the chopsticks into Yun Zishu's heart.
Yun Huazhu and Yun Baozhu were very quiet today. They sat aside and ate without saying a word. They glanced at Yun Zishu from time to time, wondering what they were thinking in their hearts.
As the family banquet came to an end, a voice came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived!"
Everyone quickly stood up to greet him.
After another salute, Emperor Zhaoming waved his hand: "Everyone is flat, let's continue eating."
"Why did the emperor come at this hour?" Concubine Wei Shu stepped forward to hold his hand and waited for him to sit down attentively. "There are too many court affairs today?"
In the past, it was Concubine Wu who served the emperor. Every time she appeared, the two were as close as a real couple, and the emperor gave Concubine Wu enough face.
Now that the situation has changed, Yun Zirou feels increasingly unsatisfied as she looks at Concubine Wei Shu sitting in front of her father.
Why are you so diligent? Do you really think that after coaxing her father, you can make her son the heir apparent?
dream.
"There are indeed many court affairs today, and I forgot about them when I got busy. I really deserve punishment." Emperor Zhaoming sat down next to the Queen Mother, "The Ministry of Rites said that there are many choices for dowry ladies, and it is necessary for the Supervisor of Rites to report the selection for deletion and review. The Minister of Rites and
The Superintendent of Rites went to the imperial study room to discuss the matter; the Rites Ministry said that the amount of gold, silver and jade articles for the dowry was too large and needed approval from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
, the Minister of the Ministry of War just——"
"Okay, okay." The Queen Mother frowned, her tone seemed a little impatient, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. The emperor can handle the matters of his own mind. There is no need to explain it in such detail to the women in the harem."
All the concubines laughed lightly when they heard this.
"Isn't this an explanation for the Queen Mother?" Emperor Zhaoming also laughed, "I am really busy today, otherwise I would never dare to neglect the Queen Mother's birthday banquet and ask the Queen Mother to forgive me."
"If you don't come, we will eat first, and no one will be hungry." The Queen Mother said angrily, "Who is waiting for you?"
Concubine Wei Shu smiled when she heard this and said, "The Queen Mother is very considerate."
Yun Zishu listened to their acting calmly, drank tea calmly, and sat like this after eating and drinking. Her eyes fell on Yun Zirou's face. The eighth princess looked at Concubine Wei Shu with incomparable resentment hidden in her eyes.
As if he wanted to kill Concubine Wei Shu.
Gee, I'm really spoiled. I can't even hide my emotions. I stare straight at Concubine Wei Shu without worrying about being resented.
Even though the concubines in the harem are usually quiet and inconspicuous, when it comes time for them to take action, none of them will be merciful.
"That's right." Concubine Wei Shu suddenly said, as if she had just thought of something, "Now that the candidates for the princess and the bride have been decided, will we have to arrange to learn etiquette and rules next?"
