Chapter 1706 Unable to Say It
"Princess Consort of Jin, we've all come to see you."
Lu Zhaoling was listening to Qingbao say that there were many young ladies waiting to come in and see her. She couldn't change out of her wedding dress yet, so she could only continue to sit there in that outfit, watching Qiu Yunzhen lead a group of girls into the bridal chamber like a bouquet of flowers.
Seeing Lu Zhaoling like this, Qiu Yunzhen and the others were stunned.
A young girl exclaimed softly, "The princess is so beautiful."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and for a moment they were like a room full of cheerful little birds.
lively.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhaoling heard the most dense and numerous compliments she had ever heard in her life, making it impossible for her to be bored.
She looked at Qin Yuerong and saw a slight fluctuation in her marriage line on her face before, but it was stable now. She guessed that this matter might be related to the Crown Prince. However, Zhou Shiyue said that the Crown Prince was fine, so she knew that this matter was not dangerous.
Qiu Yunzhen and Qin Yuerong naturally wouldn't talk about what had just happened in front of so many people.
However, Qiu Yunzhen is not the type to keep things to herself, so Lu Zhaoling could tell that she wasn't asking for the time being.
The banquet outside was in full swing, and after Zhou Shiyue went out, some of the guests who had already drunk quite a bit and were feeling a bit tipsy dared to come over and try to get him to drink more.
Especially Lord Chen.
Today was a joyous occasion, so Zhou Shiyue didn't hold it against them and let loose, drinking a few more glasses than usual.
The retired emperor had been watching the emperor and the empress dowager the whole time. The emperor was clearly in a bad mood, probably because the empress had turned her back on him and said she would go back to the palace first.
He found that when he kept a straight face, he felt a chilly wind behind his head, but the feeling disappeared as soon as he forced a smile. This forced him to keep smiling the whole time, and now his mouth was a little stiff from smiling.
The Empress Dowager glanced at him from time to time, feeling that the Emperor had indeed become a bit foolish as he got older.
They had no idea that the Emperor Emeritus was watching them closely, and if anyone looked unhappy, he would fan them from behind.
Because the emperor maintained a smile, no one else dared to make any other moves. When Zhou Shiyue came out again, the emperor felt he could no longer sit still, so he stood up and had someone tell Zhou Shiyue that they were going back to the palace.
The Empress Dowager rushed over hoping to cause trouble, but ended up not getting anything done. Now she felt rather ashamed to leave like this.
She said, "How about I stay at the Prince Jin's residence today? If Your Highness has any questions, I can help keep an eye on things. After all, there's no proper elder in this residence..."
Before she could finish speaking, the Emperor Emeritus pulled out his whip and lashed it hard in mid-air. The whip whistled, and it seemed to ring in the Empress Dowager's ear.
"what!!!"
The Empress Dowager was startled and screamed, falling to the side.
Beside her was Consort Yu.
Consort Yu was not expected to be startled and fall down. She instinctively tried to avoid it, but in that instant she realized that she should help the Empress Dowager.
So she quickly reached out to help, but she wasn't strong enough, and because she suddenly changed her position, she lost her footing. With the Empress Dowager's throw and pull, she also fell to the ground with a thud, and the Empress Dowager landed on top of her.
Consort Yu also let out a scream.
pain.
"Mother concubine!"
"Mother!"
The place instantly descended into chaos.
Zhou Shiyue looked at the Emperor Emeritus speechlessly.
The retired emperor was speechless.
How was I supposed to know she was so easily frightened?
The two were helped up. Although they were in a sorry state, they were both unharmed. Consort Yu was held down by the Empress Dowager, and although her wrist was a little sore, she had not broken any bones.
After being helped up, she didn't dare to complain and had to apologize first.
"Your Majesty, it's all my fault for not supporting you..."
"Snapped!"
Still in shock, the Empress Dowager raised her hand and slapped her hard across the face.
"Of course it's your fault!"
"Empress Dowager, what are you doing?" The Emperor was surprised that the Empress Dowager would slap Consort Yu, and immediately felt a headache coming on.
They came to Prince Jin's residence to cause trouble and annoy Zhou Shiyue.
But now, Zhou Shiyue was standing to the side watching them with great interest, just like watching a monkey show, without showing any sign of being annoyed.
Their commotion was so loud, even though the wedding banquet was almost over, and they were acting like they were just adding to the festivities.
The emperor found it extremely boring.
"Let's go, let's go back to the palace."
Don't stay here and embarrass yourselves.
Once the Emperor left, the princes and princesses also wanted to leave, since they had come for similar reasons.
But none of them benefited.
The second prince walked behind and pointed to his mouth when he reached Qingxiao.
"Mmmmm..."
He's about to leave, so can we finally release the pressure point that makes him mute? He's really feeling incredibly frustrated today!
Qing Xiao said expressionlessly, "Second Prince, please. I will escort you out and release your pressure points at the door."
The second prince was so angry he died.
Are they preventing him from speaking after the pressure points are released? Are they not letting him say a single word?
He didn't dare to resist the gaze that Zhou Shiyue had cast his way over last week, and slunk away.
The guests felt much more at ease once these people left.
Lord Chen immediately took the wine pot in one hand and the cup in the other, and went around toasting people like a butterfly.
Lin Rong shook his head as he looked at him.
"Lord Chen isn't usually this arrogant; he's probably drunk."
"This is about unleashing one's true nature."
"I saw Madam Chen come over for a look just now, hahaha, I guess Lord Chen is in big trouble when he gets back tonight." Some people also knew that Lord Chen was henpecked.
Everyone felt a bit smug when they heard this.
"Then let's have a few more drinks with Lord Chen."
Some people, eager for a good show, all raised their wine cups to toast Lord Chen.
Lin Rong stood up. "My lords, I salute you."
He stopped these people.
Zhou Shiyue drank with the prince for a while longer, then saw the prince change his clothes and come out, so he went over to him.
The Crown Prince is now fully awake.
"Uncle, what happened today was my fault..." The Crown Prince felt somewhat guilty.
Although nothing bad happened in the end, it was still quite upsetting.
“This is the Prince of Jin’s residence. I must take responsibility for letting someone sneak in to do this kind of thing. If something really happens to you, it is I who will be sorry to you. Why are you apologizing?” Zhou Shiyue said calmly.
The crown prince pursed his lips.
He didn't know how much his uncle knew about the things his mother had mentioned regarding the marriage agreement.
But he really doesn't know where to begin.
This issue......
"Go and eat something, and then help me entertain the guests," Zhou Shiyue said. "I'm going to see the Grand Master Fu."
Those two girls still need to be dealt with.
"They've woken up too. The Imperial Physician has sent someone to fetch Lady Yao," the Crown Prince said.
"Hmm." Zhou Shiyue patted his shoulder and said, "Leave it to me."
"Uncle, thank you," the Crown Prince said softly.
