Chapter Seventy-Three: The Banquet

Sure enough, just as Wen Yunxuan thought, Mrs. Xu was furious after hearing this. The sleepiness that was rare was also dissipated at this moment. Mrs. Xu's expression was lazy and very unconcerned before, obviously very sleepy. Now, the look just now is gone.

Although she knew that Mrs. Xu would be angry, Wen Yunxuan obviously didn't expect Mrs. Xu to be angry to this point. Wen Yunxuan was directly stunned, and looked at her mother with a shocked expression.

"Mother······ Mother! Wen Yunxuan had never seen such a Mrs. Xu, and was so frightened by Mrs. Xu's attitude that she didn't know how to speak.

"Don't call me mother, I don't have a stupid daughter like you. Marriage matters, since ancient times, have been the words of the matchmaker of your parents, what is your marriage, I decided after discussing with your father, do you have to worry about coming here, worrying about going? If someone else knows, what a girl's family and cousin of yours are talking about in private is not rouge gouache, but the man in this secluded capital, what do you let others think of you? In the future, do you still want to marry smoothly to the palace of the king? Your dad originally liked Snow Courtyard and didn't like you. I've always wanted someone from the Snow Courtyard to replace you, if it weren't for my mother's hard support, do you think such a good marriage can really fall on you? It's okay for you to stay at home and get married, just run out to play. Do you still care about which courtier Your Majesty left and what he said? Is this something you should be concerned about? If your father knows about it, I'm afraid you won't want to marry to the palace again in your life. Mrs. Xu was really angry, and she fainted for a while and directly slapped Wen Yunxuan.

Wen Yunxuan has grown up since she was a child, and Mrs. Xu is the most pampered to her. On weekdays, he was reluctant to say a single heavy word, but now he slapped Wen Yunxuan angrily.

It's really Mrs. Xu who is too scared, she has been planning hard for Wen Yunxuan for so many years, and she is finally about to let Wen Yunxuan marry into the palace of the king. If Wen Xiang knew because of Wen Yunxuan and Wu Sisi's actions, then Wen Xiang would definitely use this to let Wen Yunxuan's marriage give up to Wen Xue'er. At that time, Mrs. Xu has worked hard for so many years to make wedding dresses for others, and I am afraid that Mrs. Xu will be angry to death.

"Mother, daughter is just worried, that's ······ That's why I wanted to come back and ask my mother, and I wanted her to know. When the daughter and her cousin talked, they were in the bachelor's mansion, in the cousin's boudoir. No one else will know, so my mother can rest assured. Daddy's side, even less so. The daughter just asked her mother about it, and the daughter didn't say a word in front of others. Now the mother is angry, and the daughter just doesn't ask. Wen Yunxuan covered her face and cried.

She is still a little sensible, and she knows that she should quickly admit her mistake and reassure Mrs. Xu. If she is more pampered, she will immediately run out crying after being slapped, I am afraid that Mrs. Xu will really consider replacing her.

"In the past, I saw that you were smart, why are you so ignorant now? This kind of thing is not something that you, a maid in the boudoir, can worry about. If you are known, you think you can't wait to get married. Because of your father, others will naturally not say anything to your face, but can you know what is said behind your back? Especially the people in the Snow Courtyard, who are waiting to see that you have made a mistake, so that they can go to your father to complain and snatch the position of the princess you have in hand. When the time comes, you really won't be able to get married. Yesterday, I also taught you, telling you that Lan Xi is not your biggest enemy at the moment, and you don't have to care about Lan Xi at all. What you're dealing with now is the people in the Snow Courtyard. You have to fight with them with a twelve-point spirit, and you don't have to be wary of Wen Xue'er until you are in peace and quiet with the king of the cave. Have you slept and thrown away my words? Although Mrs. Xu felt a little sorry for Wen Yunxuan, she was too angry.

Therefore, Mrs. Xu did not comfort Wen Yunxuan, but continued to reprimand Wen Yunxuan.

Yesterday, Mrs. Xu had already explained to Wen Yunxuan, and today Wen Yunxuan forgot about it. Shen Zhiye just left Lanqiu in the Qinzheng Hall for half a day, and Wen Yunxuan panicked. Mrs. Xu didn't know whether Wen Yunxuan was really stupid or fake, and stared at the movements of the Lan family.

"My daughter knows, but my daughter thinks that there is nothing to pay attention to on the second sister's side! The holy decree clearly states that it is Wen Yunxuan, the concubine of the Wen family, and not Wen Xue'er, the concubine of the Wen family. Daddy is eccentric, but will he resist the decree and send Wen Xueer to the sedan chair? Mother, you're just too worried about them. According to her daughter, the most worrying thing is Lan Xi! His Royal Highness the King of Inquiry likes Lan Xi very much, and the first emperor still has an oracle to give marriage to the two of them. In case His Majesty and Lan Shangshu discussed, this holy decree was withdrawn and changed to a marriage ceremony, then the daughter would really have no chance at all! Mother, my daughter knows that you are for her daughter's good, and you don't want the snow courtyard next door to take away a penny that belongs to your daughter, but her daughter thinks that you are wrong about the enemy! Hearing Mrs. Xu say this, Wen Yunxuan finally couldn't help but say what was in her heart, she just felt that the people in the Snow Courtyard had nothing to care about. Wen Yunxuan just thinks that the one who should be valued by herself the most is Lan Xi, in case Shen Zhiye changes his mind and marries Lan Xi, then she Wen Yunxuan will have nothing.

Wen Yunxuan also thought that her direction was right, thinking that as long as she gave Mrs. Xu an analysis, she would be affirmed, and she could also attract Mrs. Xu's attention to the fact that Shen Zhiye had left Lanqiu in the Qinzheng Palace for a long time.

It's just that what Wen Yunxuan didn't expect was Mrs. Xu's slap in response to her. This time, he had a lot more strength than the last time, and directly slapped Wen Yunxuan on the ground. Wen Yunxuan's face turned red in an instant. It can be seen how hard Mrs. Xu is. It can be seen that Wen Yunxuan is angry with Mrs. Xu.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The way you look even makes me wonder if I should help you to the position of the princess. By now, you still don't understand what I've said so much? Why did His Majesty still insist on marrying the daughter of the Wen family and His Royal Highness King Xun, instead of following the emperor's will and letting Lan Xi marry into the royal family? The Queen Mother is obviously very satisfied with Lan Xi and wants Lan Xi to be her daughter-in-law. Even when I heard that the Queen Mother intended to come back from Hanshan Temple, I asked Her Majesty to give her a marriage to His Royal Highness Lan Xi and the King of Inquiry. But His Majesty did not hesitate to disobey the first emperor and the queen mother, and took advantage of the fact that the queen mother went to Hanshan Temple and was not in the palace to give marriage to the Wen family and His Royal Highness King Xun......"
