Bringing the courtyard through [delicate] lady killed like crazy

Chapter 232: Disobedience is a Serious Crime

……

Savored it for a while.

More or less, like it or not, everyone uses it a little.

All the ministers put down their chopsticks, and the poems in their minds were already brewing.

If the emperor asked them to compose an impromptu poem in response to today's dishes, they would be able to do it with ease and not lose face.

At this time, Li Jing whispered something into Emperor Qing's ear.

After hearing this, Emperor Qing simply waved his hand.

Li Jing stood up straight, smiled and waved to a eunuch at the door of the hall. Seeing this, the eunuch bowed and left quickly.

Then, a new round of dance slowly began.

The dancer's graceful dance moves slowly progressed along with the sound of stringed instruments.

Everyone started to exchange cups.

I let out a sigh of relief in my heart. Fortunately, the poetry-loving master is not here, otherwise he would definitely take the initiative to compose a poem...

Prince Rong raised his wine glass and tried to stand up, but Emperor Qing stopped him with a look, pretending to be angry and saying, "Just sit still and don't mind those empty formalities."

"Your Majesty, I am grateful for your grace, but I cannot be without rules." Prince Rong smiled bitterly and raised his wine glass.

"You and I are brothers and blood relatives, why say those things?" Emperor Qing laughed heartily and raised his glass to drink with Prince Rong.

"Speaking of which, you have not been in good health. Now that Fuyao is back, you can ask her to take a look at you tomorrow."

"Thank you for your concern, my Royal Brother. The princess just came back from Yuncheng, and she must have been very tired. This is just an old illness, so there is no need to rush."

"You, you, are not as good as Yuyi." Emperor Qing pointed at Prince Rong helplessly.

Prince Rong was confused, and only when Princess Rong pulled his sleeve and motioned him to look at her daughter did he turn around.

……

Qi Yuyi tasted the new dishes in front of her one by one. The taste was just so-so, more juicy than ordinary vegetables and not bad. However, the princess, who was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, did not think it was anything special.

As for the pungent vegetables, they made me feel very uncomfortable at first, but after taking a sip of tea, I couldn't help but want to eat more.

This situation is rare for her.

In the end, she couldn't help it and took a few more bites. Seeing that she had finished almost half of the plate, she finally put down her golden chopsticks.

She had other things to do today.

Qi Yuyi wiped her mouth, picked up the wine glass beside her, and wanted to go find Li Jiaojiao.

But after so many years as a princess, she suddenly didn't know how to face a woman of the same age who was suddenly more noble than her.

She subconsciously looked around for help and saw the eldest prince staring at that person with malicious eyes.

If the wolf is the eyes of a man, then Qi Yunting is the eyes of the wolf at this moment.

In a fit of anger, she stood up and walked to the opposite side of Li Jiaojiao, blocking the gaze that was looking at her from above.

Li Jiaojiao naturally noticed the malicious look, and she knew that the look was from a supplier she had never met before, the kind who provided goods for free.

She tilted her head to look at the little girl who suddenly appeared in front of her, and took in her indignant expression.

I can't help but wonder, are there really such straightforward people in the royal family?

Aren’t you afraid of offending the prince?

She remained calm, waiting for the other party to speak.

The previous encounter outside the city is still vivid in my mind. It is quite similar to today.

Qi Yuyi glanced at Li Jiaojiao quickly, and then said very quickly: "Sister, do you remember my proposal when we met last time? Do you mind having another sister?"

Li Jiaojiao: …

"I brought a gift to my sister and apologized for my previous offense. Can you forgive me, sister?"

Li Jiaojiao was stunned and watched the other party's performance helplessly.

After she finished speaking, she immediately waved to the maid beside her.

The maid who had been holding the box since entering the palace breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then looked at Su Xin behind Li Jiaojiao with sympathy.

Su Xin: ???

Qi Yuyi opened the box personally, holding up a set of exquisitely jeweled headwear in both hands and displayed it in front of Li Jiaojiao.

It was at this time that Prince Rong saw his daughter.

Then I heard my daughter gently and carefully ask the other party, "Sister, this is what I customized for you at Lingyuxuan some time ago. Do you like it?"

Prince Rong: ???

He looked back at his wife beside him, then at his royal brother sitting at the top of the table, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"After all, my daughter is so caring. Just be happy." The emperor said half seriously and half jokingly as he drank the wine in the glass.

If it weren't for that accident, he and Yueqing would have had a lively and lovely daughter.

……

The eldest prince was not annoyed that his vision was blocked. He picked up the wine glass and looked at Lu Liang. Just at this moment, a song ended and the sound was clearly heard by everyone present.

"Fourth brother, I haven't congratulated you yet on returning from your studies. To achieve such results, you must have suffered a lot before. I toast to you." He raised his glass to toast from afar, and after drinking the wine in the glass, he turned the glass upside down without spilling a drop.

Then he suddenly changed the subject, "But my brother still has to say that you are being unfilial and making father worry for your own selfish reasons! You are so ignorant!"

Lu Liang paused in drinking, then calmly poured the wine into the glass and put it back to its original position, without any mistakes.

However, when the eldest prince said this, the whole room was in an uproar.

Daqing attaches great importance to filial piety, from the emperor to the common people. Anyone who is accused of being unfilial is taken very seriously.

Not only will your reputation be ruined, but you will also lose your original prestige and status.

The eldest prince's move was to cut off the source of the problem. If successful, all Lu Ling's previous efforts would be in vain.

Li Jiaojiao turned her head to look at the people around her. She could see through some of people's hearts, all thanks to the fact that she had lived one more life. Apart from that, she had no skills at all in palace fighting.

Nine years of compulsory education did not teach her these things...

At this moment, she didn't know how to deal with the other party's sudden difficulties.

Lu Liang couldn't speak. Once he opened his mouth, no matter what he said, it would be tantamount to admitting that he was unfilial.

Because he had been away from the court for many years, everyone thought he was dead. Even the Concubine Chen did not leave the palace and the Emperor no longer set foot in the harem. At this moment, any explanation was unnecessary.

Originally, everyone had some complaints in their hearts, but there was a difference between saying it out loud and not saying it out loud.

No one expected that the eldest prince would actually launch a disturbance at the palace banquet and even ignore the emperor's intentions.

Emperor Qing's face had turned dark at this moment, and his previous good mood was wiped out.

He didn't expect that Qi Yunting was so brave.

The eldest prince started to attack, but the fourth prince remained silent. The scene became eerily silent for a moment.

Just at this moment, a group of palace maids serving dishes came in one after another, holding jade plates.

This time, everyone except the princes and ministers at the top, who had eaten vegetables before, had the food.

But the portion was much smaller, with only two beans on a plate, and even less greens and spinach, just a small piece. There was no chili at all, as the quantity was too small to be shared.
