Chapter 233 A coward who dares to do something but not to take responsibility!
Princess Nanyang used to be the prince's favorite, but now she has become the ninth prince's consort.
The prince has become an idle prince.
Not only did she kneel down obediently in front of Yan Li to serve tea, but I heard that she was imprisoned for life by the emperor last night...
It's really hard to predict, isn't it?
For a moment, Mu Xiuhan slightly turned sideways with the teacup in his hand, and his eyes swept across Yan Li's delicate face. The taste of regret was fully felt in these moments.
His internal organs seemed to be bitten by insects and ants. Mu Xiuhan lowered his eyes and said woodenly: "Please have tea, Aunt Nine Emperors."
Yan Li took the teacup and sipped it calmly: "After drinking the tea of the idle king, I will not hold it against you for throwing dirty water on you before. After all, I have become your elder and you have learned enough lessons."
Mu Xiuhan seemed to be slapped in public, his face flushed instantly, but he didn't dare to show his face at all, and just said dryly: "Thank you for the lesson, Aunt Nine Emperors, but I have been deceived before, and it was not intentional-"
"It doesn't matter whether you are stupid or deceived." Yan Li interrupted her words, "Just call Aunt Nine Emperors respectfully when you see me next time, and treat what happened before as if it never happened."
Jiang Jingyue bit the tender meat in her mouth so hard that she almost tasted the taste of rust.
Being deceived?
In order to evade responsibility, is Mu Xiuhan trying to put everything on the Jiang family?
A coward who dares to do but not to take responsibility!
"Please have tea, Uncle Nine." Mu Xiuhan picked up another cup of tea and presented it to Mu Cang respectfully.
Mu Cang took the cup without saying a word, took a sip, and put it back on the tea tray.
When it was Jiang Jingyue's turn, she took a few breaths in her heart before reaching out to take the cup. She held back the hatred in her heart and presented it to Yan Li with both hands: "Cousin... Aunt Nine, please have tea."
Yan Li took the tea and looked at Jiang Jingyue expressionlessly: "You can't call me cousin when you see me in the future. You must respectfully call me Aunt Nine. Otherwise, it is disrespectful and you can have someone slap you in the face at any time. Do you understand?"
Jiang Jingyue's face was pale, and she almost wanted to splash the tea on her face.
The hall was silent.
The people present could not help but look at Emperor Zhaocheng quietly.
Princess Nanyang is so arrogant and domineering, but the emperor has no idea at all?
Okay.
The emperor really seems to have no idea at all, and even has a slight smile on his face.
Is this to approve of Princess Nanyang's arrogance?
The object of Princess Nanyang's power is the emperor's own son and daughter-in-law.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, and Jiang Jingyue slowly lowered her head: "Yes, Jingyue has remembered it, and I will never dare to disrespect the Ninth Emperor Aunt in the future."
After that, she presented another cup of tea to Mu Cang.
Mu Cang and Yan Li finished their tea, and took out the purse and handed it to Mu Xiuhan and Jiang Jingyue, one for each person.
This is a reward, from the upper to the lower.
The distinction between high and low is clear.
Mu Xiuhan and Jiang Jingyue suppressed their emotions and thanked him respectfully.
I have to say that the family banquet of 꿷꽭 is very special.
It was so special that the people present didn't even dare to breathe.
They couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, is the emperor giving enough face to Mu Cang and Yan Li because of Jiang Yi's arrival, or is he deliberately taking advantage of Jiang Yi's arrival to weaken the arrogance of the Xian Wang and the Jiang family, so that they will regret having made things difficult for Yan Li?
Oh, among the younger generations present, it's not just Mu Xiuhan and Jiang Jingyue who have made things difficult for Princess Nanyang.
The Yu Wang Mansion was demoted because of Princess Nanyang. In addition, the Seventh Princess, the Eighth Princess, and Gu Anxian had also had unpleasant experiences with Princess Nanyang before.
This time, taking the opportunity of the family dinner, does the emperor want to settle all the accounts at once?
After the Xian Wang and his wife stood up and left, the Yu Wang followed and offered tea.
They haven't gotten married yet, so there was only one person offering tea, and there didn't seem to be much conflict between them and Yan Li, so they didn't have any difficulties offering tea.
Then came the fifth prince, the second prince, the ninth prince, the third princess, the seventh princess, the eighth princess, and the prince of Xianwangfu.
Finally, it was Gu Anxian, the wife of Mu Wenxuan, the son of Yujunwangfu.
Mu Wenxuan had hurt Yan Li before, so he couldn't help feeling guilty when facing Yan Li. His hand holding the teacup trembled slightly: "Ninth... Aunt Ninth Prince, please have tea."
Yan Li took the teacup and looked at her with a smile: "Are you scared?"
She knew why she was scared.
First, the lesson she learned when Mu Wenxuan wanted to hurt her was unforgettable. A short month had passed, but it was not enough for her to forget it.
Second, the person she had offended became the Ninth Princess, and she was worried about Yan Li's revenge.
"No, it's not." Mu Wenxuan lowered his head, wishing he could crawl into the crack of the ground, "The Ninth Prince's majesty is so strong that it makes people feel nervous."
Yan Li did not comment, opened the tea cover and took a sip, then put it back on the tea tray.
When Mu Wenxuan handed the teacup to Mu Cang, his hands were not shaking so badly, but when Mu Cang took the teacup, he said coldly: "When you see your Ninth Prince Aunt in the future, stay away from her to avoid accidental injury."
Mu Wenxuan couldn't help shaking again when he heard it.
Sitting next to Prince Yu, Princess Yu couldn't help but tighten her handkerchief, knowing what Yan Li meant by Mu Cang.
Thinking of how Mu Wenxuan almost died at the hands of Yan Li before, Princess Yu always had an indelible hatred for Yan Li in her heart.
But she knew in her heart that Yan Li was now someone that Prince Yu’s Mansion couldn’t afford to offend, not to mention her husband Mu Cang, even the person sitting next to the Emperor…
Princess Yu’s eyes passed over Jiang Yi’s face, and she truly felt that fate was playing tricks on her.
Fifteen years ago, the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, who was looked down upon by all the nobles of the Mu Kingdom, has turned into the queen of the Jin Kingdom.
It's ridiculous.
In silence, Mu Cang drank the tea and put the teacup back on the tray.
Then only Gu Anxian was left.
Mu Yunzhu, who had served tea and stood aside, frowned slightly and looked at Gu Anxian calmly, with some worry in her eyes.
Outsiders may not know, but she knows better than anyone that Gu Anxian's feelings for Mu Cang are almost obsessive.
Will she lose her composure?
Gu Anxian quietly took the tea from the tea tray and served it to Yan Li. Thinking of the time when Yan Li first entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was still the high and mighty daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Yan Li...
Yan Li was still an orphan who was looked down upon by everyone and was extremely belittled by others at that time.
That scene had only happened a short time ago, but now it seemed like a dream, with a sense of unreality.
Gu Anxian was eroded by jealousy.
If she had a dagger in her hand at this time, she might have stabbed Yan Li in the neck.
"Gu Anxian, what are you thinking about?" Yan Li's indifferent voice sounded in her ears, "You can lose your mind when serving tea, did you not sleep well last night?"
Gu Anxian was startled and came back to her senses, only then did she realize that she had been distracted just now, and hurriedly sent the tea forward: "Princess Nanyang, please have tea."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present frowned.
