The palace banquet was not over yet, and she could not leave the palace yet, so after speaking to the Queen Mother, Yun Zishu returned to the attic again.
I walked up the stone steps and as soon as I stepped into the door, all the ladies in the attic looked over.
"No wonder you deny it. It turns out that you have a more noble person as your backer." Yun Zirou sat at the table and looked at her coldly, "Do you really think that climbing up to the Queen Mother will make you better?"
"It doesn't matter whether it can lift the boat for me. I just suddenly want to know what the impact will be if the dignified eighth princess is slapped here?" Yun Zishu walked over and sat down, looking at Yun Zirou with cold eyes.
, "Why don't we give it a try and see if the Queen Mother can be my patron?"
"...What did you say?" Yun Zirou took a moment to realize what she had said, and immediately sneered angrily, "I don't believe you dare!"
Yun Zishu said coldly: "Leng Shuang, Leng Yue."
"exist!"
"I want to stay here quietly to have a meal and drink tea, and wait until the palace banquet is over to leave the palace. I don't want to be disturbed by blind people." Yun Zishu's voice was calm, "No matter who is present.
, if anyone dares to sneer at me or speak provocative words, ignore her identity and slap her twenty times."
"yes!"
When the princesses and ladies present in the attic heard these words, their faces all changed. The temperature in the air dropped sharply, and the atmosphere became tense again.
Yun Zirou's beautiful cheeks were green and white, and she stared at Yun Zishu, as if she wanted to cut her into pieces. However, no matter how furious she was, she suppressed her face until she turned livid, and she did not dare to say anything more.
.
Damn Yun Zishu! If you embarrass her in front of so many people and make her unable to stand down, she will definitely not let it go.
Yun Zirou swore in her heart that she would make Yun Zishu pay the price.
Princess Baozhu, who was sitting on the other side, bit her lip, glanced at Yun Zishu bitterly, secretly uttered something like a fox pretending to be a tiger, lowered her head and started eating.
Others looked away as if nothing had happened, either drinking tea, or turning their heads to look out the window. No one really dared to try the law.
Yun Zishu finally enjoyed a moment of silence.
After all, they are all afraid of death, right? She sneered secretly, the more loudly she shouted, the more afraid she was of death. This is an eternal law.
The actors on the stage outside were still singing.
Yun Zishu ate her meal slowly, ignoring the subtle glances from time to time. When her stomach was seven-quarters full, she put down her chopsticks and poured herself a cup of tea.
Several people at the table looked away in panic, pretending not to peek at her.
Yun Zishu also pretended not to know.
After another half an hour, the Queen Mother stood up first on the grounds of being tired. The Emperor and the concubines stood up to see her off. Seeing the Queen Mother walk away, Concubine Wu, who was in a bad mood, followed her up and left. The Emperor accompanied her back to the palace.
Although the palace banquet was not completely over yet, the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the concubines in the harem had all left. Only the ministers were left sitting at the banquet, drinking and chatting. Naturally, the ladies had no reason to stay.
Just as Yun Zishu was about to get up and leave, there was a sound of footsteps suddenly coming from the stairs. Princess Jinning and Mrs. Xiao walked up surrounded by many maids.
The ladies immediately knelt down and saluted.
"Zishu." Princess Jinning had a worried expression and turned a blind eye to the others. She only looked at Yun Zishu coldly and angrily, "Today is the birthday of the noble concubine. Why didn't you prepare any gifts?"
She asked the question as soon as she opened her mouth, which made the ladies present stunned. Everyone glanced at Yun Zishu secretly, and couldn't help but wonder whether Princess Jinning was standing up for Concubine Wu, or was taking the opportunity to deliberately find Yun Zishu.
Zishu’s fault?
Yun Zishu's eyes were indifferent and she said expressionlessly: "I know nothing about Concubine Wu's preferences. I don't know what she likes."
Princess Jinning frowned: "Is this the reason?"
"If you want to hear it more directly, I can tell you." Yun Zishu said calmly, "I'm not interested in giving her gifts, it's as simple as that."
"Insolent!" Princess Jinning was furious, "Do you still have an emperor or an elder in your eyes?"
Yun Zishu sneered.
She wanted to take each of her elders into consideration, but when they plotted against her one by one and tried every means to kill her, no one regarded her as their daughter or their relative.
Seeing her silence, Princess Jinning thought she was guilty, and then asked, "Didn't I ask you to come with Yun Heng? Where are the others?"
"The person who sent the message to me to take Xiao Yunheng into the palace is Concubine Wu. I have already replied to the concubine's mother that Xiao Yunheng is injured and cannot enter the palace." Yun Zishu looked indifferent: "It seems that there is not much news about the eldest princess' aunt.
Well-informed.”
"It's been so many days, there shouldn't be any problem walking, right?" Princess Jinning's face was ugly, her eyes seemed to be filled with doubt, "Or are you saying you didn't take good care of him at all?"
"Auntie, are you questioning me?" Yun Zishu found it funny, and she did laugh. Her cold smile was full of mockery, "How do I take care of Xiao Yunheng? What does it have to do with auntie?"
Princess Jinning's face turned cold: "Is this how you talk to me?"
"How should I talk to my aunt?" Yun Zishu chuckled, "Kneel down three times and kowtow nine times?"
"Unbridled!" Princess Jinning's face was ashen and she couldn't help but point at Yun Zishu, "It's simply lawless!"
Yun Zishu narrowed her eyes and flicked her sleeves slowly.
"I want to visit Yun Heng." Madam Xiao suddenly spoke, her voice as calm as a message, "I wonder when it will be convenient for Your Highness, Princess?"
"Want to meet Xiao Yunheng?" Yun Zishu looked up at her, half-smiling, "Mrs. Xiao should know the rules of asking for an audience."
Mrs. Xiao suppressed her emotions: "I just want to see my son."
"You can submit the post first, and I will reply when I am free." Yun Zishu's voice was indifferent, and she thought of another thing after speaking, "But since I saw Mrs. Xiao today, I happen to have something to do."
Mrs. Xiao remained calm: "What's the matter?"
"I plan to take all the dowry I brought back to the Xiao family today."
What?
The ladies looked surprised and looked at each other.
They did not expect that Yun Zishu would not only remain unfailingly powerful in front of Princess Jinning, but would also have such an unfriendly attitude towards Mrs. Xiao, her former mother-in-law.
Is her decision to divorce her husband a careful consideration or a balancing act?
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Mrs. Xiao's face suddenly changed, and her tone was cold and angry, "The divorce has been settled. The princess and Yun Heng are still husband and wife. Since they are husband and wife, how can there be any reason to take back the dowry?"
She thought the joke caused by the Xiao family was not embarrassing enough, so she even had to move the dowry back?
Dreaming is faster.
"I live in the princess's mansion now, and I need money for food and clothing." Yun Zishu said in a cold voice, "Isn't it a matter of course that I get my dowry back?"
Mrs. Xiao gritted her teeth and couldn't help turning her head to look at Princess Jinning.
"Mrs. Xiao doesn't need to look at anyone, I will definitely do what I decide." Yun Zishu said, and when walking past Mrs. Xiao, she added casually, "How is Xiao Yunheng's treatment in the Princess Mansion?
It depends on whether my dowry can be retrieved smoothly, I hope Mrs. Xiao will be aware of it."
"Yun Zishu!" Princess Jinning was so angry that her face turned green, "You are simply unreasonable!"
