Unexpectedly, she turned her gaze over, only to be intercepted by two more sharp gazes. God, it was the Prince Chu, that look was even stronger than the poison, like ten thousand years of ice, it could freeze a person completely. Madame Bai did not have the power to resist, as she weakly retracted her gaze, and was defeated once again.
"Prime Minister Bai sensed it and reprimanded her in a low voice," This is the imperial palace, not a hall where you behave atrociously.
Madame Bai's heart trembled. "Old master, don't scare me, the emperor is still sitting here, how dare Prince Chu be so impudent?"
The Prime Minister Bai snorted, "The Prince Chu's reputation is not for nothing. He has the military power, the Emperor has to look at his face sometimes, and I advise you to rest, since Qianyan is married to the Prince Chu, he's a member of the Prince Chu. No matter how displeased he is, he will not allow outsiders to bully her."
Madame Bai did not think much of it. She treated it as a chicken thief and beat it up, who would not understand what was going on!
Halfway through the banquet, the scene became a bit messy. The men sat together and chatted while the women gathered together. They held small wine cups in their hands and slurped them as they talked about the length of their respective homes. The civil officials also followed the rules, and the military officials, with their rough personalities, still dared to order wine in front of the emperor. Along with the sound of silk and bamboo, they twisted their waists and shook their butts in the middle of the hall.
With the opening of the East Yue, the Emperor liked to share the happiness with his subject, smiling as he raised his cup and drank heartily with the Empress. After drinking two cups, she took the initiative to give up her seat and told Noble Consort to accompany the emperor in drinking. The imperial concubine stood up, but the emperor did not seem to hear anything.
The imperial concubine raised an eyebrow and cast a sideways glance at the empress, accusing her of deliberately making a fool of herself. The empress looked innocent as she shook her head with a faint smile.
Seeing this, Madame Bai squinted her eyes and said to Prime Minister Bai in a low voice, "The Queen is so sinister."
Prime Minister Bai was shocked, he wanted to slap him. What kind of place was this, did this lowly woman have a brain? There were people everywhere, anyone who heard that would be sentenced to death for insulting the empress. Did he really think that being the daughter of the Noble Consort would allow his to do as she pleased? If not for her health being poor, it would have been even harder for Noble Consort to climb up the mountain. Now that there was hope, he should have concealed it even more and continued to cultivate.
He was too lazy to reply and carried his wine cup to his colleagues. That car's Prince Chu also went down the stairs to meet him. As the Prime Minister Bai was a person who was used to scenes, he immediately smiled and greeted him, "Prince, how have you been?"
Prince Chu did not like Prime Minister Bai's hypocritical look, so he asked as if he had not seen his for a long time. He grinned, leaned over, and lowered his voice to whisper into Prime Minister Bai's ear, "You old dog, use an insufficient number of girls to fool this king. This king will deal with you sooner or later!"
Prime Minister Bai turned pale with fright, "King, Prince, why are you cursing at me?"
"Scolding you is a light thing, This King still wants to hit you." Morong Gan knocked him away with his shoulder and left with big strides.
Prime Minister Bai really wanted to scold him from the back, but this was a palace, so no matter what he did, he could not let down his guard. While he was feeling depressed, someone patted his shoulder, "The Prime Minister and Prince Chu are back to normal now? We have seen all of you whisper in each other's ears. "
Facing the emperor's teasing, the Prime Minister Bai could not say anything. He laughed coyly and said, "No matter what, we still have a family, so the situation should be alright."
The emperor's tone changed as his face darkened, "Prime Minister, I was the one who made this matchmaking. You might say that she's a beauty, but look at the Princess Chu. She's so small, are you planning to have him raise your daughter?"
Prime Minister Bai was so scared that he was about to kneel on the ground, but he was stopped by the emperor, "It's fine, I won't investigate your crime of cheating the king, but how do you want me to explain it to the Prince Chu?"
He had his own selfish thoughts when he married Bai Qianfan into the Prince Chu Palace. Firstly, the other girls were all unwilling to marry, seeking trouble even if they wanted to live, and he had no choice but to let the few wives look for trouble with him. Moreover, if Bai Qianfan stayed in the Prime Minister Bai's Mansion, he would definitely lose his life one day. The Prince Chu was her enemy, but he understood her temper. If she gave such a little girl to her, the Prince Chu would have no interest in touching her. Bai Qianfan being in the Prince Chu Palace was the safest thing to do, protecting her life could be considered as being worthy of her mother.
At that time, he had said some pretty words in front of the emperor, and he knew that the emperor would be angry at him if he saw anyone. But in his heart, he knew that the Prince Chu had military power, he had power in the Court, if the emperor wanted to suppress the Prince Chu, he had to stand on the side with him. The matter had been exposed, at most, he could say a few words.
Right now, the Emperor's attitude was exactly the same as he had expected, so he pretended to act. Both parties would give each other a way out.
While the emperor and official were chatting, the Noble Consort sent someone to invite him over to have a chat. Since her daughter was from Noble Consort, his mother would also go ahead and do the same thing. Fortunately, it was a Spring Festival, so he didn't mind if she took it for granted.
Noble Consort gave her a seat, and the mother and daughter chatted for a while. Madame Bai was angered, and became angry, as if she wanted his daughter to support him, "Do you see that little bitch? "You dared to glare at me just now? If it wasn't for your father, I would have gone over and slapped her."
Noble Consort frowned slightly. She was her own mother, but she was also a short-sighted woman. She coughed lightly, "Mother, this is the palace.
"I know, you are the same as your father, do you think your mother is a brainless person? In front of the emperor, of course, I wouldn't act. But you're different, you're the Noble Consort, the emperor's wife, no matter how strong she, Bai Qianfan, is, she's still only the Prince Chu's wife. "Bi Er, no matter what happens today, you have to vent this out for mother."
Noble Consort wanted to roll her eyes. Her family was getting richer and richer, but her mother was getting more and more arrogant and despotic. It was as if the world belonged to her. The Emperor still needed to have evidence to kill someone, but now she had to press her lips against his, making it difficult for those who were listening to her to say whatever she wanted to say to make things difficult for them. To be honest, she truly felt sorry for her father. It was fine if her mother was a concubine or a legal wife, but the moment she opened her mouth, all sorts of petty grudges could be seen. Even her face was drained of light.
Noble Consort remained calm and collected. She raised her cup and took a sip of wine, and under the light, the little figure on the stage stood up and quietly walked out.
