After the palace banquet, Emperor Zhaoming ordered a family banquet to be held alone. Apart from Emperor Zhaoming, the only people attending the family banquet were the Queen Mother, Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, Concubine De, Zishu and Sicang, and there was another one who was about to be there.
Married to Yun Zirou from Nanqi in February.
There are not many people, but the status has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to two years ago.
Especially Yun Zirou, looking at Yun Zishu who has now returned to glory, and comparing herself with herself who had resisted marriage in every possible way and even bowed her head to admit her mistake, but now still cannot escape the fate of marriage, the hatred and jealousy in her heart almost overwhelmed her.
If she had known that she had not resisted going to Dongyou, now it was she instead of Yun Zishu who came back in glory, and her mother could continue to favor her in the harem because of her, instead of being ignored like now.
Not to mention Concubine De, Yun Zishu's glorious return undoubtedly proves Situ Wan's defeat. Her sister did not become the crown princess, nor did she become the queen. So what is her status now? Imperial concubine? Shu concubine?
Or is she just an ordinary concubine?
What is the fate of the Situ family? Why didn't the Queen's aunt fail to make her sister the Crown Princess?
She had many questions in her mind, but looking at Yun Zishu's brighter and brighter face, she couldn't help but feel jealous and wanted to question her.
"The Ai family is really indescribably happy to be able to attend this family banquet with Zishu here today." The Queen Mother was sitting on the main seat, looking at the people in front of her, and then turned to look at Yun Zishu, "
Zishu, can you tell us some interesting things that happened in the past two years?"
"Okay." Yun Zishu smiled faintly, "The first year I went to Dongyou, I was still the Crown Princess. There were many people in Dongyou who wanted to be the Crown Princess, so there were also many people who made trouble for me. They all thought I was a foreigner.
The woman who came here is not worthy of being the Crown Princess of Dongyou."
"How abominable!" the Queen Mother said coldly, "You are the only legitimate princess of Dayong. You have a noble status, pure blood, and you also shoulder the important responsibility of marriage. Anyone who dares to go against you is going against God and will never end well!"
As soon as these words came out, almost everyone present changed their expressions.
Emperor Zhaoming's face was gloomy. The words "pure blood" were the sharp knife held by the Queen Mother, which suddenly opened a bloody gash in his heart, reminding him of the impure blood with severe pain and humiliation.
Yun Zirou stretched out her hand under the table and tightened the handkerchief in her hand. Hearing the words "princess" felt inexplicably harsh.
Concubine De even smiled stiffly: "Dongyou advocates martial arts, and the noble girls of the aristocratic family are more or less heroic. It was inevitable that I had some misunderstandings about the princess at first. I thought that the princess could not carry her shoulders or lift her hands. This is normal.
reaction."
"That's true." Yun Zishu smiled faintly and said calmly, "They all thought that I was weak, and they even wanted to embarrass me on the racecourse. They didn't expect that I was not only good at riding and shooting, but could also shoot the front.
The person who came to assassinate me was killed with one blow, and this incident alone made Sicang's father look at me differently and felt that no one was more qualified to be the crown prince than me."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked surprised: "Assassination?"
"Can you ride a horse?"
"Can you still do martial arts?"
Yun Zishu nodded slowly: "Yes, thanks to Sicang."
Concubine De tried hard to control her emotions and said a little lonely: "I have been married to Dayong for more than two years. I haven't seen my family for a long time. I wonder how they are doing now."
"Not so good." Yun Zishu's voice was obviously colder, "The people who hired assassins to assassinate me on the racecourse were your sister and brother."
The air froze.
Concubine De's face turned pale and she looked up at her in disbelief.
"What brother? What sister?" Concubine Xian asked in confusion, "Isn't Concubine De the princess of Dongling?"
"Obviously not." The corner of Yun Zishu's mouth raised a cold arc, "She is Situ Xue, the second daughter of the Situ family, and the niece of the former queen of Dongyou. Her sister Situ Wan is wholeheartedly opposed to me and thinks that I have robbed her.
Her position as Crown Princess."
"How could such a thing happen?" The Queen Mother put down the tea cup and said angrily, "Concubine De, what crime do you deserve for pretending to be a princess?"
Concubine De subconsciously turned to look at Emperor Zhaoming: "Your Majesty, I..."
"Forget it." Yun Zishu smiled nonchalantly, "Fake identities are also a matter for the Dongyou royal family. The previous emperor made her a princess, so the Queen Mother should treat her as a princess."
Concubine De bit her lip, feeling secretly resentful in her heart. It was obvious that her sister was the default Crown Princess, why... why did she still lose at the hands of Yun Zishu?
The prince living in Dongyou is actually Sicang?
This was something she had never dreamed of, it was simply ridiculous!
"Zishu is much more beautiful and noble than before she got married." Concubine Wei Shu smiled amiably, "You can tell from one look that she is living a good life in Dongyou."
After saying that, he looked at Yao'er in Sicang's arms: "The child looks good, almost exactly like his father."
"That's right, the child looks good and looks noble." The queen mother nodded repeatedly, then turned to look at her personal nanny, "The Ai family also has a set of small gold locks. I will give them to the baby later."
Concubine Wei Shu laughed and said, "I also have some rare gadgets in the palace. I will have someone bring them over later to see if the baby likes them."
"Yao'er is the next emperor of Dongyou. His status is precious, and ordinary objects may not be in his eyes." Concubine Xian smiled a little reluctantly, "Dongyou has neighboring countries paying tribute every year, and there are countless good things.
Yao'er, do you want anything?"
Concubine Wei Shu's smile froze, and then she retorted: "You can't talk so much. The things in Dongyou's treasury are their business. Even if the things the Queen Mother and I give are worthless, they are still our thoughts. Doesn't that mean it's true, the Queen Mother?"
"That's the truth." The Queen Mother nodded and quickly turned back to the distant topic, "It's unexpected that Emperor Dongyou Wu abdicated so soon."
Yun Zishu was eating the food and spoke in a particularly leisurely tone: "Because Emperor Wu's health has never been very good, he can no longer rely on his own abilities to become the leader of the world, so he abdicated early to recuperate his health. He hopes to see Sicang unify the world in his lifetime."
"Unify the world?" Concubine Wei Shu was surprised, "Are you going to annex all the countries?"
Emperor Zhaoming's expression darkened and he looked at her coldly.
Concubine Wei Shu's face turned pale, and she lowered her head for a moment without daring to speak. She couldn't help but murmur in her heart, what did Yun Zishu mean? In front of her father, she bluntly said that Dongyou would unify the world in the future. Didn't she mean to block the emperor?
Heart?
"Dayong and Dongyou are related by marriage. Even if Dongyou unites the world in the future, we can still live in harmony." The Queen Mother didn't seem to think this was a serious matter. "The stronger Dongyou is, the less anyone will dare to bully Zishu in the future.
.”
Concubine Wei Shu, Concubine Mingxian and Concubine De all frowned.
What did the Queen Mother say? She only considered Yun Zishu, but did not expect that Dongyou's domination of the world meant that Dayong would also become one of the countries he annexed?
