After the words fell, several low laughter suddenly sounded in the table.
"On the first day that the Crown Princess came to Dongyou, Princess Baozhu exposed the Crown Princess in front of the Emperor and all the civil and military officials. This should be regarded as obvious hostility, right?" Huangfu Chuchu smiled casually, with a smile that was somewhat sarcastic.
, "Now that you're showing your goodwill at the Crown Princess's birthday banquet, you just want to write off all the past debts?"
Yun Baozhu's face turned red: "I have already made amends with Sister Zishu——"
"Apologising, can you write off what you have done?" Huangfu Chuchu raised his eyebrows, "Can a criminal who killed someone make an apology and apologize to bring the dead back to life? A bully who robbed a girl and apologized can restore his innocence.
?”
Yun Baozhu was speechless, and her eyes were red with anxiety: "I... I know I was wrong, why do you have to hold on to me? Don't people who have done wrong things have a chance to repent?"
"Those who have done wrong can have a chance to repent, but they need to pay a price." Huangfu Chuchu replied calmly, "If you make a mistake and do not need to be punished, just a light apology can solve the problem, then being a bad person will not
It’s too easy, who else is willing to be a good person?”
Yun Baozhu looked at Yun Zishu anxiously: "Sister Zishu, we are a family..."
Yun Zishu tasted the delicacies leisurely and said calmly: "I think Miss Huangfu is right."
Yun Baozhu froze.
Yun Zishu said: "Everyone has to pay the price for their words and deeds. No matter whether it is before, now or in the future, if you do something you shouldn't do, you must bear the corresponding responsibility for it. No one should be an exception."
Yun Baozhu's heart sank, and she felt sensitively that this sentence meant something.
Could it be that Yun Zishu knew something?
No, it's impossible.
Yun Baozhu tried to make herself feel at ease, but she looked like she was about to cry: "But I really know that I was wrong... If Sister Zishu is unwilling to forgive me, I..."
Yun Zishu raised her eyes slightly: "What are you?"
"I can't afford to kneel until Sister Zishu forgives me." Yun Baozhu said, actually stood up and left the seat, walked to the blanket in the middle of the seat, and knelt down facing Yun Zishu, "Zi Shu
If Sister Shu still feels angry, how about I slap the words on my face?"
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but sigh.
If there is no other purpose, who can believe it?
The woman who was always against her and full of evil thoughts suddenly changed her ways and admitted her mistakes with such a firm and humble attitude... The sun rises from the west?
"It's your own business whether to palm your mouth or not, and how long you have to kneel is also your own business." Yun Zishu picked up the tea cup and took a sip calmly and gracefully, "It's my business whether I forgive you or not.
Yun Baozhu, don’t think you can force me to become a Bodhisattva by using this method.”
Yun Baozhu's face turned pale, his eyes turned red, and tears began to fall down.
During the banquet, the ladies looked at each other.
Situ Wan frowned slightly, it was hard to believe how cruel Yun Zishu was. Not only was she cruel, but she didn't care about her own face at all.
Doesn't she want to gain a reputation as a tolerant and generous person in front of all the ladies? Does she have to make people think that she is narrow-minded and will retaliate?
"Today is the birthday of the Crown Princess. Did Princess Baozhu act like this intentionally to ruin the Crown Princess's mood?" Xianglan, who was standing next to Yun Zishu, frowned and said with a hint of reminder in her tone, "The rules of the royal family are strict.
Princesses, princesses, and concubines of the court all have a set of rules to control their words and deeds. They must not lose their composure in front of nobles. Princess Baozhu has been in the palace for so long and studied the palace rules every day, but she cannot even maintain the most basic manners and demeanor.
?”
Yun Baozhu's expression changed suddenly, and she quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her voice choked with sobs: "I...I didn't mean it..."
"Princess Baozhu has indeed realized that her previous behavior was wrong. Today's apology and apology are out of sincerity and not false. I hope that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess can forgive her once." Wu Jingyi stood up and faced Yun Zishu.
He curtsied and said, "I have offended Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess a lot in the past, and today I also want to ask for a favor from Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."
Seeing this, the more than twenty noble ladies in the attic all frowned, and all their eyes fell on her face, with different expressions, but no one spoke for a while.
But I couldn't help but think in my heart, these two people had discussed it in advance and deliberately apologized in front of so many people today to force the Crown Princess to forgive?
There was silence at the table.
After a while, the woman sitting in the second-to-last seat on the right said quietly: "Today is the Crown Princess's birthday banquet, which should be lively and happy. Since they sincerely admit their mistakes, the Crown Princess might as well forgive them this time, so as to be generous.
A reputation for tolerance.”
Hearing this, Yun Zishu raised her eyes and looked up.
The woman who spoke was wearing an apricot-colored skirt, with fair skin and pretty eyebrows, but there was a hint of arrogance in her eyes.
These words came out of her mouth as if they were the most natural thing.
However, Yun Zishu just twitched her lips.
"Does this mean that if I don't forgive them, I won't be tolerant and generous enough?" She smiled meaningfully, "Princess Xuan, don't you know what it means to commit the crime?"
The woman who spoke was Dong Lingxuan, the princess of Rongwang Mansion. After hearing the words, she said calmly: "I thought they were sisters of His Highness the Crown Princess. Even if there was some friction in the past, they should not be involved in the following crimes."
Like Princess Yan of Prince Cheng's Mansion, she was already full of hostility towards this foreign princess becoming the crown prince. What's more, the sudden return of the prince who had been exiled for many years cut off their brother's hope of competing for the heir apparent.
?
In their eyes, not only Yun Zishu was an outsider, but the prince Sicang was also an outsider.
However, Dong Lingxuan is smarter than Princess Yan, and will not express hostility too deliberately on her face.
"I have always believed that people who do not understand the situation should not speak without authorization." Yun Zishu's voice became colder. "How much does Princess Xuan know about Wu Jingyi and Yun Baozhu, so she dares to make wishful guesses that they are from me?
sisters?"
Dong Lingxuan's expression changed: "I..."
"Also," Yun Zishu reminded him calmly, "according to the royal family's rules, Princess Xuan should call herself a 'court daughter' in front of me. If she doesn't learn her own rules well, Princess Xuan feels that she is qualified.
Remind me how to do things?"
Dong Lingxuan's expression completely froze, and her face turned green and white. After a while, she lowered her head and said, "I know I was wrong."
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the inner stairwell, and then a woman's voice sounded: "What are you doing? The Crown Princess's birthday banquet should not be lively? Why are there people kneeling on the ground? This is to offend the Crown Princess
