Chapter 437: There is a lot of discussion
Later, with the growing power of many famous nobles, the family where the old minister is located is gradually not optimistic, after all, as the leading family in the Sakura country, it is really not comfortable to be stared at by many hungry wolves grinding their teeth, even though the family has a deep foundation and many talents, but under the many rising forces in the country, the situation can be said to be very unoptimistic.
At that time, it happened that His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes in the palace chose the princess, and it was his youngest daughter who took the initiative to become the princess after learning about the embattled situation of the family. Although His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes is not a descendant, he is the most unfathomable of many Royal Highnesses, and he is also the most talented.
The ministers in the cabinet followed six or seven out of ten, and the difference was three or four points, and in the final analysis, it was because His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes did not have a wife with an honorable background. The princess is a wife, and the wife is different from the side concubine who only needs to pay attention to appearance and talent, and does not pay much attention to family background, on the contrary, the candidate for Her Royal Highness the princess does not need to be as beautiful as a fairy, and the most important of them are only the two conditions of family background and character.
The youngest daughter of this resolute courtier is not only stunning in appearance and calm in character, but also has a unique noble and prominent family background in the Sakura country, and is also a unique eldest lady in the mouths of everyone. It can be said that there was no more suitable candidate for Her Royal Highness the Empress at that time, so when those powerful nobles learned that the eldest lady was interested in entering the palace, they all stopped thinking about joining forces to suppress the first family.
Later, the old minister complied with his youngest daughter's wishes, he knew that his daughter fell in love with His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes at first sight, but it was more for the benefit of the whole family, otherwise with the younger daughter's gentle and calm heart, he would definitely not bury the good years of his life in the palace.
Fortunately, after so many years, many hardships and hardships have gradually come through, and he and his wife and many other relatives have watched their daughter grow up step by step, step by step onto the phoenix seat of Her Royal Highness the Queen, and finally become the second only glorious existence in the royal family of the Sakura Kingdom, which completely let go of that hanging heart.
Although the palace is fighting openly and secretly, and the clouds are treacherous, but according to the daughter's intelligence and calmness, those concubines are definitely not opponents, coupled with their backing, I believe that those imperial concubines naturally know how to do it, and when they face Her Royal Highness the queen and their little daughter, they can only be humble and respectful, and cannot give birth to the slightest arrogance.
In the past, it was not without the concubines who crossed Her Royal Highness the Queen, but the king directly dealt with it under his anger, although they did not know the inside story, but they were by no means confused. The arrogant concubine who can make the king angry and deal with it himself can be imagined. The king's approach not only shocked the harem, but also established the supreme and noble status of Her Royal Highness the queen from the side.
Today's Imperial Concubine Li actually dared to wear the nine-tailed phoenix feather Yingluo, obviously relying on the power of the family to openly provoke Her Royal Highness the Empress, the resolute-looking old minister stared at the Imperial Concubine Li for a while, and then snorted coldly and looked at the emperor and queen who were high above.
Her Royal Highness looked down at her father condescendingly, and she looked at the nobles who had always been friends with her father in the banquet, and did not ask. The king waited for Her Royal Highness the Empress to speak first, but after waiting for a while, there was silence in the palace, so he raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the old minister kneeling on the gilded jade brick, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”
"Before the performance, the minister wants to ask His Majesty about something, and I hope Your Majesty will allow it." Her Royal Highness's father was neither humble nor arrogant, and his eyes looked directly at the king with a beautiful face.
The king tapped his jaw and motioned for his permission. After getting the king's permission, the resolute-looking courtier stared at the princess Li coldly, and asked in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, may I ask the nine-tailed phoenix feather, but can the harem concubine wear it?" ”
The king's gaze froze for a moment, and then he followed the gaze of the courtiers to look at Concubine Li: "It's not that you can't, but you can't allow it." The nine-tailed phoenix feather is the exclusive honor of the queen, and if the rest of the concubines wear and enjoy it without authorization, it is a crime of trespassing. At this point, he lowered his eyes and stared at the Yingluo around the neck of the Imperial Concubine Li, the phoenix tail coiled and hovered on the red gold collar and shone brightly.
"In this case, but the minister only found out that Imperial Concubine Li was actually wearing a nine-tailed phoenix feather that can only be enjoyed exclusively by Her Royal Highness the Queen, and dared to ask Your Majesty, what should such an arrogant imperial concubine be guilty of? And how should it be punished? After Her Royal Highness's father finished speaking, his eyes looked sharply at the relatives of the Li Imperial Concubine family sitting at the banquet.
Seeing the situation, the king's thin lips were slightly hooked, and his extremely beautiful face showed an interesting expression, and the bright starry eyes clearly reflected the instantly pale complexion of Empress Li: "Oh, Empress Li is actually wearing a nine-tailed phoenix feather? If Aiqing hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have found out. ”
He stared at the discoloration of Concubine Li's face, and said slowly in a low tone: "Nine-tailed phoenix feather...... Princess Li, I remember never giving you such an honor. ”
A simple sentence, as if suddenly drained the strength of Princess Li's whole body, so that she could no longer maintain the fear that spread wildly in her heart under the panic, the body wrapped in gorgeous Aya Luo was staggered to the right, and the begonia Qibao step in the sideburns was also extremely crisp and fell on the gilded jade brick.
Looking at Princess Li like this, what else do you not know and don't understand in everyone's hearts? They stared coldly at the Yingluo worn by the neck of the Li Imperial Princess, the carving process of the nine-tailed phoenix feather was delicate and delicate, and the nine gems inlaid on it were also brilliant, but such a luxurious and luxurious thing was not something that the Li Imperial Concubine could wear and enjoy, but the other party actually wore it on her body in a grand manner.
Stupid, stupid.
The rest of the imperial concubines in gorgeous makeup and costumes looked at the disgraced Imperial Concubine Li, they had never felt pity and sympathy for Imperial Concubine Li in their hearts, on the contrary, some were just countless inexplicable ridicule and scolding. The high-flying and domineering Imperial Concubine Li must not have imagined that she would completely cut off her back path on the day of the palace feast.
The gap in the flickering peacock feather fan loomed in revealing the red lips of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, she condescendingly looked down at the frightened and frightened embarrassed appearance of the Imperial Concubine, and her words were undisguised mockery: "I didn't expect Imperial Concubine Li to have such a thought, but today she is wearing the nine-tailed phoenix feather Yingluo so swaggering, did she make up her mind to give Her Royal Highness the queen a dismount?" ”
The falling gem tassel shallowly collided on the side of the imperial concubine's face, she stared at the pale complexion of the imperial concubine, and her gentle tone revealed the most cruel words: "Otherwise, this palace thinks about it left and right, and I really can't figure out why it is chosen today, so grandiose to wear it." Although Her Royal Highness the Queen is magnanimous and benevolent, this is not a reason for you to be presumptuous, Princess Li. ”
Hearing Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine say this, the royal relatives and nobles in the palace were full of nobles, and the ministers and nobles exploded in an instant, and the entire silent Beique Zhu Palace became noisy again.
The guests, who were embarrassed and humiliated by the relatives of the Imperial Concubine Li's family on weekdays, firmly seized this opportunity, and they walked out of the banquet one after another, and stood in the palace with the powerful minister who had already stood up, --- the father of Her Royal Highness the Queen, and told the king about the royal prestige involved in this incident.
After the last words of the king, the relatives of the family of the princess had already knelt down in the hall in a cold sweat, they looked tremblingly at the surrounding banquet, only to see that everyone at the banquet was looking at them with malice, there is no doubt that this moment is the best opportunity to --- the opportunity to fall into the ground.
Concubine Li's mother knelt beside Concubine Li, she glared at her daughter viciously, and regretted her decision to send her daughter to the palace back then, and even regretted her love and connivance with her daughter in the past, which caused Princess Li to make a big mistake today and implicate the entire family.
The women who were still sitting at the feast and the other neutral men watched from the sidelines, some of them gloating, some of them mocking and ridiculing, but more of them still looked like they had taken revenge. After all, the family members of Princess Li were too arrogant and domineering in the past, and they had already endured it for a long time, but they didn't expect that the scene in the dream was actually staged in front of them today.
"Dare to blatantly wear the nine-tailed phoenix feather on the day of the palace feast, Concubine Li's mind is obvious, I am afraid that she wants to give Her Royal Highness the queen a dismount in public, and then let herself succeed on the throne of the queen, what a big courage!"
"That's right, and Concubine Li relied on her family to wantonly bully the palace concubine on weekdays, I heard that a few days ago, the daughter of the Zhang family was humiliated by Princess Li on the palace road because of her low rank, and finally she was punished to kneel for a day, and she was not sent back to the palace until she fainted."
"That's not all! Who doesn't know that Imperial Concubine Li is the most arrogant and domineering, obviously the most favored person in the palace is Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, but Imperial Concubine Li has a noble background and a prominent family background, so it is inevitable that everyone will not be taken into account, as for those concubines whose rank is not as good as her, what is the difference between them and fish in the eyes of Imperial Concubine Li? ”
The voice of these words was deliberately raised by them, so it was not difficult to reach the ears of the king, who sat on the throne and listened quietly to the discussion of the people, and it was impossible to see what the expression was on his beautiful face, but the ministers who were familiar with the king knew that it was the calm before the storm.
Sure enough, the king waited for their noisy voices to calm down, and then stared at the princess with dim eyes. He didn't say anything, just stared at Imperial Concubine Li quietly, that look was not so cruel, but it was definitely full of a cold that penetrated into the bones, and Imperial Concubine Li was extremely frightened under the gaze of the king, and only felt that the whole person's soul was trampled under the majesty of the emperor, and grinded back and forth.
Her Royal Highness looked at all this with a gentle smile, she did not show anger or surprise, but still maintained the grace and elegance of Her Royal Highness, but it was this elegance and calmness that was no less than a loud and crisp slap on the faces of Princess Li and her family members.
"Your Royal Highness, what do you say should be done with this arrogant concubine?" Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine has seen enough of the excitement, she casually shook the peacock feather fan, raised her eyes and asked Her Royal Highness.
Hearing the inquiry of His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, Nan Zuisheng Zhu's lips were slightly hooked, and he secretly thought that this imperial concubine was really ruthless, and chose to mention this matter when the king was most silent, which was enough to make the king increase the punishment in the future, and use it as a warning to deter other famous nobles and those imperial concubines who came to the banquet at today's court feast.
