The time-traveling lady is too fierce

Chapter 189 I’m never polite!

Li Qiuge didn't expect that she was eating well, but now someone was looking at her with disdain. She thought she would have to hold on for a while! These women in the palace just have nothing to do!

Li Qiuge swallowed the cake in her mouth, and then gave him the wine that Ye Hanyu poured and drank it in one gulp, without any reserve of a princess! It's not that Li Qiuge doesn't understand the etiquette in the palace. When she came here, the nanny had already taught her well. For this kind of etiquette, Li Qiuge knew almost everything without being taught. But now she was angry and didn't want to pretend anymore. It's better to do whatever she wants.

"I am just a country girl without any great background. Unlike you girls, who were either sent to the palace by your fathers or by your families. The prince and I are in love with each other and got married because we truly love each other. The prince is attracted to me as a person, not my family." Li Qiuge's words made many ministers blush. Some of them had sent their sisters and daughters to the emperor as concubines.

Isn't the Regent Princess mocking them by saying this? !

"Oh, the princess is so vulgar. I don't know how she communicates with the regent. The regent is both civil and martial, and the princess is so vulgar. How can she and the prince get along so well? We don't understand!" Concubine Xian also came to embarrass Li Qiuge at this time.

"Vulgar? How am I vulgar? Did I scold your father or your mother? The Regent is naturally good at both literature and martial arts, but I'm not bad either. All the things you said combined are not as good-looking as me! Look at your face full of thick powder, and your cleavage is exposed when you smile! I don't know how this lady is in her 50s this year, why does she look so old? I say, at such an old age, don't speak in a hoarse voice, it sounds unpleasant!" When the other concubines sitting nearby heard Li Qiuge's words, they all covered their mouths and laughed.

"How dare you say that to me? I'm less than 20 years old. How can I look like someone in their 50s?" She was considered beautiful among the emperor's many concubines. To be honest, she was not as pretty as Li Qiuge, but she was definitely not as ugly as Li Qiuge said! Like a 50-year-old lady!

“Stop joking, you look like the emperor’s mother, not in your 20s. You must be suffering from some strange disease. If you do, go see the imperial physician right away. It will be difficult to cure after seeing the doctor!” Li Qiuge didn’t even look at this virtuous concubine, as if looking at her a few more times would be contagious!

"Royal brother, shouldn't you control your princess? Let her speak so freely." Although the queen was happy in her heart that Li Qiuge had embarrassed Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui, she had to solve the problem for the emperor's sake.

"I think what the princess said is right. There is nothing to worry about. Besides, your brother has so many concubines, it is normal for a few of them to be ugly. After all, as the princess said, some people are not true love. It's enough to give them food and drink and keep them alive!" The ministers present were shocked by the regent's words again. When did the regent become so vicious?

Ye Hanyu looked at Li Qiuge lovingly, "I think what Qiuge said is right, and I like her straightforward personality."

Li Qiuge raised his chin proudly towards Concubine Xian.

The virtuous concubine was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Li Qiuge and couldn't say a word for a long time.

At this time, the emperor said, "Okay, stop talking. Today is a welcoming banquet for my brother, and it's also my birthday, so I should be happy." The emperor didn't expect Li Qiuge to be so vicious, and why did Ye Hanyu seem to be a different person? Did he marry a country girl, and his temperament became so vulgar? Such a person is worthy of being the emperor. I don't know how the late emperor fell in love with Ye Hanyu!

The banquet continued, and everyone presented gifts. Li Qiuge also prepared a special gift - vegetables and fruits she grew herself.

"I know that Your Majesty is busy with many affairs and is very hard-working. These are the fruits and vegetables that I planted myself. Although they are not expensive, they are fresh and delicious. I hope Your Majesty will be happy after tasting them." Li Qiuge said.

The emperor pretended to be very pleased and rewarded Li Qiuge with many precious items.

The emperor looked at the few vegetables sent by the regent and could not help but feel disappointed. These vegetables were sparsely placed on the plate, the number was pitiful, and it was extremely inconsistent with the regent's status and position. The emperor was expecting to receive a priceless gift, but he didn't expect it to be worthless vegetables!

"I didn't expect that the Regent would marry a country girl and become so stingy that he would give her such rubbish." Many ministers' families were whispering about Li Qiuge and Ye Hanyu!

When Ye Hanyu heard these discussions, his face turned gloomy. He swept his cold eyes around, and those who were talking immediately shut their mouths.

Li Qiuge didn't care. She smiled and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, these vegetables may seem ordinary, but they are cultivated by me with great care. They represent my blessing to your Majesty. I hope your Majesty will be in good health, just like these vibrant vegetables."

The emperor nodded with a dark face and a false smile: "It's rare that the Regent and the Princess are so thoughtful. This gift is very unique."

At this time, a palace maid brought a plate of exquisite cakes, and the emperor signaled to give it to Li Qiuge. After thanking him, Li Qiuge picked up a piece of cake and tasted it.

"This pastry tastes delicious. I wonder which chef made it?" Li Qiuge exclaimed.

The emperor smiled and replied, "This is made by the new chef in the imperial kitchen, specially prepared for today's banquet."

Li Qiuge's eyes rolled and an idea came to her mind. She said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I have a small request. I want the chef in the mansion to learn cooking skills from this chef so that he can cook delicious food for the prince in the future."

The emperor didn't expect Li Qiuge to make such a request, but he couldn't refuse it either, so he could only agree: "That's great, I approve it."

"Your Majesty, it is a happy thing that we can gather together with the Regent and the ministers today. Why not let those unmarried ladies and gentlemen show their talents to liven up the atmosphere for everyone?" Li Qiuge heard that it was the Queen who was nagging. After being calm for such a long time, she finally took action. She thought, the Queen looked very cunning, it was impossible for her to remain silent. It turned out that she was waiting for her.

Although today is to welcome Ye Hanyu, it is indeed the end of the year and various banquets will be held in the palace, so the young ladies and sons-in-law of the officials will choose each other's wives and sons-in-law!

So, when the queen announced this, many young ladies and gentlemen were eager to show off their talents! Some wanted to marry into a wealthy family, and some wanted to enter the palace as concubines. In short, the atmosphere at the scene was pushed up!
