Chapter 227 1 Stars
Feeling the resentful gaze of the woman opposite, Mo Rao didn't care much. She was just an insignificant person.
Li Lingye paid his respects to the queen, and was then taken aside by other young masters to chat.
The main reason why the Queen held this flower banquet was to meet the Crown Prince's wife. As for how the Crown Prince is doing, it is not important for the time being.
This prince's consort had been in the palace for more than a month, and she had never seen her once. It wasn't that she didn't suspect her relationship with the emperor. It was just that every time this prince's consort came to the palace, the prince was always with her.
Therefore, even if the emperor was incompetent, he would not forcibly take his niece's wife.
During this period, she did try to inquire about the news from the emperor, but in the end she got nothing.
Thinking of the eunuch she had arranged to be by the emperor's side, she felt depressed. She had finally bribed the eunuch, but he was beaten to death in less than half a year. These people were very tight-lipped now. She didn't get a single word out of him.
Although she was the queen, she had three thousand beauties in her harem, and countless princes and princesses. The throne should have belonged to her child, but her son was not the eldest. As a mother, how could she not make plans for her child?
Prince Xuande and the Emperor were twins from the same mother. Even though he committed the serious crime of confiscating his family property, he was able to turn things around easily. This shows that the Emperor had a lot of affection for him.
Although Prince Xuande hadn't taken sides and had clearly stated that he wouldn't get involved in the princes' conflict, with Concubine Yao around, it was only a matter of time before they supported the Fourteenth Prince.
For the sake of her son, Prince Xuande couldn't stay. Unexpectedly, the crime of treason didn't result in the death penalty. It would take time to overthrow him in the future.
Now, I can use this flower banquet as an excuse to meet this legendary prince's concubine. Who knows, this prince's concubine may be the breakthrough point.
"I heard that the Crown Prince's wife is a fairy who has descended to earth. It is true that seeing is believing. She is truly a beauty. No wonder the Crown Prince is so bewitched by her." The Queen said with a gentle smile.
But it doesn't sound the same to everyone's ears. After all, this rumor was not spread by such a person.
Mo Rao raised an eyebrow. If she hadn't heard the rumors, she would have thought the Queen was praising her. Oh! The women in the harem! They really have eight hundred minds and eight hundred tricks. None of them are simple. They have nothing to do in the harem all day long, thinking about intrigues and deceptions.
Mo Rao pretended not to understand and replied with a faint smile: "To answer the Queen, that's all exaggerated. I am just an ordinary woman and cannot be regarded as a fairy descending to the earth."
When everyone heard Mo Rao's words, they all laughed in their hearts. This pheasant is just a pheasant, and it can never turn into a phoenix even if it flies to a branch.
The Queen also thought with disdain in her heart, a village girl is a village girl, ultimately not presentable. For her to take action against such an ignorant woman is really lowering her status. But she didn't have to take action, naturally there would be people who couldn't wait. She had heard that this Yu Meng County Master was still not giving up on Li Lingye.
As expected, Yu Mengxi sneered: A poor peasant from a poor mountain village really doesn't know what he is talking about.
Although everyone heard Yu Mengxi's words, no one stepped forward to respond. After all, the person who said this was the Crown Prince's Consort, not someone they could afford to offend.
Mo Rao turned a deaf ear to Yu Mengxi's words and just drank the tea and snacks in front of her.
Seeing that his words did not make the woman in front of him bow her head in shame, Yu Mengxi became even more furious, and the resentment on his face was not concealed at all.
At this moment, Princess Mingxi looked at her sister-in-law's angry expression and looked down upon her. He was just a man, so what?
I thought so, but after all, this person is the prince consort's sister, so naturally I have to help her.
You are that country girl, Princess Mingxi asked Mo Rao directly.
Looking at the bright and outgoing woman in front of her, she knew who she was without even thinking. Although she hadn't been out for the past few days, when she learned that the Queen was holding a flower viewing banquet, she maliciously checked the information of the noble ladies in the capital, just to make sure there were no mistakes.
She didn't expect that such an innocent face could actually be such a cruel and ruthless person. If she didn't already know this person, she really wouldn't believe that such an innocent face could be so vicious.
Yes, this person is Princess Mingxi. Fortunately, Twelve did not follow her. Otherwise, based on the hatred between Twelve and this person, it would be hard to guarantee that he would not act impulsively.
Mo Rao said respectfully, "In reply to the princess, that's right."
Princess Mingxi said bluntly, "You are truly unworthy of the public. How dare a country woman like you marry the prince?"
Mo Rao said calmly, "I'm just a country girl, so what? As long as the prince likes me, that's all."
Mo Rao spoke calmly, without any sign of anger. This was not what everyone wanted to see. It was like a punch on cotton, without any pain.
Princess Mingxi was very dissatisfied with Mo Rao's attitude. If her husband hadn't asked her to find out about the Crown Prince's wife's background, she really wouldn't want to talk to such a village girl and lower her status as a princess.
The noble ladies in the capital also noticed that Princess Mingxi, County Lady Yumeng, and the Empress were all dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's Consort. As noble ladies from the capital's aristocratic families, they naturally did not dare to befriend Mo Rao. Their status was not as high as the Crown Prince's Consort, so they naturally did not dare to speak rudely and could only keep their distance.
All the ladies and noble girls gathered in groups of three or five to chat and admire the flowers, but Mo Rao was alone, drinking tea and admiring the scenery.
