Chapter 1702 Closing the Door and Scolding
Lu Zhaoling was shocked by the Empress's words and was speechless for a long time.
Does the Empress know what she's saying?
You can tell from the Empress's tone and attitude that she doesn't actually like her. But the Empress is still standing here, trying to undermine Zhou Shiyue and make her remarry into the Eastern Palace.
Is she really the Empress?
Lu Zhaoling was truly shocked, so she actually asked the question, "Are you really the Empress?"
The Empress was taken aback, unsure why she would ask such a question.
She flicked her sleeve and said, "If I am not the Empress, then who is? Consort Shu? Or that Consort Yu?"
"The Crown Prince is my son. Who else would dare to be so audacious as to impersonate the Empress and come before you?"
Lu Zhaoling nodded, and gently shook the bridal veil covering her head.
She said, "I don't think anyone would dare to impersonate the Empress, but I just find it strange. The Empress probably doesn't like me, right?"
Lu Zhaoling asked directly.
The empress did not try to hide it either.
"Before I met you, I thought I had no particular likes or dislikes towards you. I even thought that you must be very intelligent to have obtained the position of Princess Consort of Jin, and I do not dislike intelligent people."
"But after just getting to know you, I really think we probably won't get along. It's clear that you're too straightforward and rather selfish, and you don't have much of a sense of hierarchy or respect for elders."
"You've become quite arrogant since you just entered the royal family. Perhaps it's because you've always lived in the countryside and been bullied by the Lu family. Now that you've gained power, you want to be proud and show those who bullied you before."
"I can understand it if it's to make them feel like they were blind before, or even to make them fear you."
I go......
Lu Zhaoling almost applauded the Empress. What's wrong? Is this still analyzing her personality and behavior?
Hearing this from the side, Madam Sheng was so angry she almost jumped up.
She waved her hands, almost as if she wanted to float over to the Empress and give her a powerful blast of super-powerful ghostly icy air to bring her back to her senses.
"Listen to this, listen to this, Master! What exactly did she say about you? She actually said you were arrogant?"
"Yes, you are arrogant, but you are arrogant in front of those evil cultivators and demons, and in front of those scumbags from the Lu family. What's wrong with that?"
"You say you have no sense of hierarchy?!"
"Oh, Master, you certainly don't have much of a sense of hierarchy..."
"That's because you yourself are a super master, a super, super, super master! Even the Emperor Emeritus would call you a master, so how can this so-called empress expect you to respect her?"
Lu Zhaoling: “…”
Third Sister, do you stutter?
Also, why do you keep emphasizing those few sentences that sound like you're scolding her?
"elder?"
"Even the Emperor Emeritus didn't put on airs as an elder in front of you, but she, an empress who has been practicing Buddhism in the temple for more than ten years, wants to come and put on airs in front of you the moment she comes out? Why doesn't she go to the harem first and show off her status as the empress to those three thousand beauties?"
"This is absolutely outrageous! Even ghost stories aren't this outrageous!"
Lu Zhaoling felt a buzzing sound in her ears.
She couldn't help but tilt her head, wanting to move aside. She hadn't expected that Madam Sheng would be so angry because of the Empress's words.
Such a long, rapid-fire rebuke—it's a real pity the Empress couldn't hear what Madam Sheng was saying.
As Lu Zhaoling was thinking this, she heard Sheng San Niangzi say from the side, "Master, why don't you let me show myself and have a good talk with her? I feel that after catching quite a few ghosts, my eloquence has improved a bit, and I haven't had a chance to show it off before."
Madam Sheng San even started rolling up her sleeves, looking ready to rush over and have a three-hundred-round argument with the Empress.
Lu Zhaoling was both amused and exasperated by her words. She had already said so much; did she have something new to tell the Empress? The bridal chamber would be too lively in a moment.
She quickly waved her hand, signaling to Third Madam Sheng not to show herself.
Lu Zhaoling cleared her throat and then spoke up, "Her Majesty the Empress said she could understand me, but I cannot understand you, Your Majesty."
After she finished speaking, the Empress frowned and was about to speak when Lu Zhaoling interrupted her again.
“My marriage to Prince Jin was arranged three years ago. During these three years, the position of Crown Princess has remained vacant. As the Crown Prince’s mother, the Empress has been hiding in the Buddhist temple and has not inquired about this matter.”
“You said you had met my mother before, and that you were engaged to her, but for the past ten years or so, you never thought about it and may have even forgotten about it.”
"Back then, you treated the Crown Prince's marriage as a joke. This marriage was already arranged between the Second Prince and Lu Zhaoyun of the Lu family. They have already married according to the marriage agreement, so the marriage agreement is between the two of them."
"Since no one has raised any objections before, and you haven't stood up to say anything, I can now tell you very clearly that I have never had a marriage agreement with the Crown Prince. That was between the Second Prince and Lu Zhaoyun. Please remember this well, Your Majesty."
Lu Zhaoling paused for a moment, then asked, "Does Your Majesty know that I am the first successor of the Xuanmen sect? Do you know that I can draw talismans?"
"So what if I know?" The Empress clenched her fingers into her palms.
"I just wanted to threaten Her Majesty the Empress," Lu Zhaoling said casually. "If Her Majesty can't remember this, I can draw a talisman to make you remember it."
"You dare use mystical arts against me?!" The Empress was shocked.
Moreover, Lu Zhaoling actually threatened her? And she said it so bluntly!
Sheng San Niangzi exclaimed excitedly from the side, "Master, drawing talismans is a viable method."
Lu Zhaoling snorted, "If the Empress can't remember, this Princess Consort really dares to."
Is she the only one who can say "this empress"?
Lu Zhaoling firmly believed that with Zhou Shiyue as her backer, her title of "This Princess Consort" would be far more powerful than the Empress's title of "This Palace."
"you......"
Lu Zhaoling continued speaking.
"Furthermore, after you gave birth to the Crown Prince, you ignored him completely, never caring for him for a single day. Now, more than ten years have passed, and the Crown Prince has grown into a mature and stable adult, capable of thinking about his own future. At this time, you suddenly come out to pretend to be a loving mother, putting on an act of being wholeheartedly concerned for him. What are you trying to do?"
"Knowing that the Crown Prince respects his uncle the most, the Crown Prince ordered him to accompany Zhou Shiyue to the wedding today. The Crown Prince hopes more than anyone else that his uncle can get married soon and live a happy life."
"And you, as the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager's sister-in-law, insist on causing trouble today, trying to shatter His Highness the Crown Prince's wishes and ruin Zhou Shiyue's wedding banquet. You are neither a good mother nor a good sister-in-law. What have you been cultivating through your Buddhist practice for the past ten years?"
