White Hedge Dream

Chapter 272 Discussion

"The King of Chu is really arrogant now. He won't bow or kneel when he sees me."

Princess Jinyu looked outside the hall and scolded angrily.

"Don't forget how you survived. In the eyes of the world, I am your reborn parent."

"Is this how you treat your parents?"

"Your father was deprived of his surname of Li and demoted to a commoner because of his disobedience to the emperor and his treason."

"Now, with the mercy of the emperor, your father has been allowed to restore his surname to Li."

"You are treating me disrespectfully, disrespectfully, and disobediently."

She said this with a cold smile.

"You don't need to be famous, but aren't you afraid that the world will say that you follow your father?"

"You are not afraid of damaging your father's face, which he has so easily restored. You and your son are scolded as disobedient and unfilial. You also have to worry about the emperor's face."

"Your Majesty restored your father's identity and allowed you to return to the royal family from being unknown. Is this how you repay him?"

"Do you want him to be ridiculed by the world for being ignorant and ignorant?"

Hearing Princess Jinyu's accusations, the Shangguan Prince Consort's face stiffened and he glanced at the several staff members standing in the hall.

The staff smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

Although Princess Jinyu is uneducated and has no skills, her status is here, and she can teach her casually, and her words are very intimidating.

Li Yu couldn't help but hold Bai Li's hand hard. The next moment, Bai Li held it back and patted it gently.

"Don't confront her head-on." She said softly, looking at Li Yu, "The consort is still here, don't make things difficult for him."

Li Yu's body froze again. Yes, he had angered Princess Jinyu. Princess Jinyu hated him. If he left, Princess Jinyu would definitely vent her hatred on the consort.

He turned his head and looked into the hall. Princess Jinyu was standing, and Shangguan's Prince Consort was sitting beside her, covered by the shadow cast by her. Even so, he could still see Shangguan's Prince Consort's worried eyes.

The prince-in-law is worried about him.

The Prince Consort never worried about himself.

The last time he made no secret of his strength in front of Princess Jinyu, threw down the broken stick and left. I wonder how Princess Jinyu would treat the consort...

He turned towards the hall and knelt down.

"My nephew knows that his aunt doesn't like it, so he doesn't dare to appear in front of her."

Princess Jinyu looked at the kneeling young man with an expression of pride and resentment. So what if she borrowed the emperor's prestige this time? You can't borrow it again and again, even if Potian goes away, she is also his elder! She is also the emperor's sister!

It is only natural for elders to teach younger generations.

"Really? You know I don't like it." She said coldly, "Then you still don't want to find a way to please me? Doesn't the prince know the story of Caiyi's marriage?"

Let’s give him two whips to have fun first!

Last time he dared to threaten her with a stick! What a shame!

Princess Jinyu wanted to call someone, and out of the corner of her eye she saw the woman standing behind Li Yu...

Forgot about her!

This foxy!

"Kneel down!"

she shouted.

Li Yu looked up at the woman, looking apologetic and worried.

He actually cherishes this maid so much!

How ridiculous! No matter how beautiful it is, it’s just a plaything! Why should we give a plaything status and rights...

Princess Jinyu heard herself gritting her teeth.

Why don't you kneel down! With such a status, I was not even qualified to kneel to her before!

No, don't let her kneel, it would be too advantageous for her.

Those ugly staff said that harshness does not need to be seen by others, only the people being treated harshly can feel it themselves.

Princess Jinyu's eyes fell on the woman, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Since you have been allowed by His Majesty to become Princess Chu, you can naturally call me aunt."

She raised her hand.

"Here, serve me some tea."

Although the woman did not kneel down with Li Yu, when she heard Princess Jinyu's words, she immediately responded respectfully and stepped forward.

Li Yu, who was kneeling, raised his hand to grab her.

"Ah Li!" he said, shaking his head.

Princess Jinyu would not let her simply serve tea. He had seen many of Princess Jinyu's vicious methods since he was a child. How much flesh and blood was buried under the blooming flowers in the garden of the princess's mansion.

Of course, he knew that Princess Jinyu would not really threaten Bai Li's life. After all, she was his Princess Chu.

But he couldn't let Bai Li suffer.

"Let's go." Li Yu whispered.

If you are disobedient, be disobedient.

These reputations don't matter.

As he spoke, he stood up and felt Bai Li's hand pull him up, but when he was about to turn around, Bai Li's hand pushed him forward.

"My aunt has spoken, please stop kneeling." She said with a smile, "Let's go in quickly."

Go in? Li Yu was stunned for a moment and hurriedly whispered: "Ali, don't pay attention to her."

Bai Li smiled, approached him and whispered, "Don't worry, you still don't know how powerful I am?"

Amazing, she is indeed... Li Yu hesitated, and Bai Li let go of his hand.

"Thank you, aunt." She looked into the hall and took the first step.

Li Yu hurriedly followed, entered the hall and stood in front of her.

"I've seen the prince-in-law." Bai Li said, curtsying.

Shangguan's consort also looked at her, his eyes a little worried, and he stood up.

"Serve tea first and then give gifts."

Princess Jinyu's cold voice came.

"If I don't drink your tea here, he can't accept your courtesy."

Bai Li responded yes, then looked at Li Yu: "I'll go serve my aunt, and you go talk to the prince-in-law."

Accompanying the consort? Why should I accompany them when they are all in the hall? Li Yu felt that what Bai Li said was a bit strange, but since Bai Li said it, he still followed the instructions and walked to Shangguan's consort.

Shangguan's consort stood up, looked at Li Yu, and then saw that Princess Jinyu had turned around and sat down. At the same time, he ordered the two palace maids, "Bring hot tea." After saying that, he looked at Bai Li and ordered the two more with a half-smile. Palace maid, "Bring me the jewels. If I drink this cup of tea to my satisfaction, I will be rewarded heavily."

The two maids went as they were told.

Bai Li stood quietly in front of Princess Jinyu.

Shangguan's consort looked worried, and then he looked at Li Yu and felt a little relieved: "You guys are fine, I'm relieved."

He had already seen in just a short scene that Li Yu's eyes and movements showed genuine concern and care for his wife, and he was not just marrying a maid randomly for the sake of prevarication.

And this maid was neither pampered nor arrogant, nor was she humble and timid. She took the initiative to protect Li Yu and did not hesitate to make things difficult for the princess.

It's just good that they love each other and support each other. Li Yu no longer experiences his regrets. No matter how bitter his fate is, there is still a sweetness in his heart.

Li Yu looked at Shangguan's consort and asked in a low voice: "Did she take out her anger on you?"

The smile in Shangguan's consort's eyes disappeared and he said softly: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Li Yu wanted to say something, but his expression froze and he looked towards Princess Jinyu. Shangguan's consort also looked over, his eyes condensed.

The four maids who had been ordered by Princess Jinyu all returned. One was holding a white porcelain tea cup, one was carrying a copper pot, and the other two were holding two boxes of jewels, which were gorgeous and dazzling.

But both Shangguan's consort and Li Yu's eyes fell on the copper pot, especially the handle of the pot held by the palace maid and the bottom of the pot, both of which were wrapped in thick cloth.

It is conceivable that the pot must be filled with scalding hot water.

Princess Jinyu wants it!

Shangguan's consort and Li Yu's expressions changed greatly.

"I like to drink freshly brewed tea." Princess Jinyu sat back and looked at the standing maid with a smile, "This way the tea smells the best."

He said and motioned to the palace maid.

"Give it to her."

The palace maid handed the tea cup to Bai Li. When Bai Li took the tea cup, the palace maid carrying the copper pot stood over.

"Break a cup of tea." Princess Jinyu continued, "I am satisfied with the drink. These rewards are all yours."

She looked at the woman's hand holding the tea cup.

The palace maid accidentally shook her hands, or simply the hand of Princess Chu, who was born as a maid, shook her hands. The hot water did not fall into the tea cup, but poured on her hands. This can't be considered harsh treatment, right?

It is natural for the younger generation to serve tea to their elders.

Who gave her bad luck?

Besides, as an elder, she generously gave gold, silver and jewelry.

She is such a kind elder.

Princess Jinyu's eyes were shining with fierceness and excitement as she looked at the hands in front of her.

This teacup is a famous product, exquisite and flawless, but the hands holding the teacup are no less beautiful, like white porcelain or jade carvings.

These hands will be poured with scalding hot water, and they will become rotten, like flowers being trampled and crushed.

The palace maid raised her hand, watched the copper pot tilt, watched the water flow out

So hot.

It's so hot. It hurts like hell!

Princess Jinyu let out a cry of pain and jumped up from her chair.

"It's burning me to death!" she shouted.

She subconsciously raised her hand to hit the palace maid next to her, but saw that there was no one around her.

There was an overturned teacup on the table in front of me, and tea flowed all over the table.

There was the tinkling sound of the piano in my ears, and a woman's chuckle.

"Jinyu, why are you so careless? You also said you would bring me tea and water. You don't want to burn me, do you?"

Princess Jinyu subconsciously put on a smile: "Your Majesty Mingjian! How could I burn you!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the woman sitting beside him.

She was wearing a gorgeous red dress, shaking a fan in her hand, and the screen behind her was blooming with flowers, and at this time, flowers were blooming all around.

This is a garden in the imperial city, and there are flowers everywhere. But since that woman appeared, especially after she was crowned queen, there are even flowers from four seasons blooming in the same season.

Like a miracle.

She withdrew her gaze from the flowers and looked at Princess Jinyu.

Princess Jinyu felt that the sight was like a hand, tugging at her heart.

"I don't care if it happens or not." The female voice chuckled, "As long as you don't dare."

As she spoke, she looked away again.

"Shen Qing, play the piano a little louder, you can't even hear the pain."

Shen Qing.

Princess Jinyu subconsciously followed her gaze and saw a man sitting next to the screen, playing the piano.

After hearing her words, the man raised his head and smiled: "Aren't you afraid of disturbing the queen's mood?"

She smiled and waved her hands: "Your piano sounds just like that to me. In comparison, I prefer to listen to people's cries of pain."

The sound of these words sent chills down the spine, and Princess Jinyu couldn't help but want to tremble, and the sound of the piano actually became quieter, so in addition to the woman's voice, Princess Jinyu heard a muffled sound of blows and what seemed to be human voices. Scream.

The reason why I say it seems is because the cry is short and weak, and it doesn't sound like a human voice unless you listen carefully.

Princess Jinyu followed the sound and across the blooming flowers, there were two guards waving sticks to hit a person.

The man was gorgeously dressed and had a round figure, but he had been beaten until he was lying on the ground.

Even though she was beaten to pieces, Princess Jinyu recognized her immediately, and she murmured "Caojun Ma" in a hoarse voice.

That was her cousin's husband. Not to mention that her cousin was a daughter of the royal family, this husband was also from a famous family. He was spoiled and extravagant. He hated the smell of charcoal fire for heating in winter, so he specially bought a dozen maids, wearing thin clothes and using their bodies to provide food. He keeps warm.

The body was so white that there were no traces of mosquito bites.

At this moment, he was beaten like this.

"In order to build a polo field, Cao Junma seized fertile land and beat so many people to death. He said he just hit them with a stick a few times. He didn't know it would hurt those people because they didn't scream when they were beaten."

The woman's voice came slowly.

"I also find it strange that some people don't scream when they are in pain, so I asked Cao Junma to try it."

She laughed at this.

"It's true, after just a few blows, Caojun's horse stopped crying in pain."

"Gold and jade."

When her name was suddenly called out, Princess Jinyu shuddered. She exclaimed again and then looked into the woman's eyes.

Those eyes that are full of autumn but cold and fierce in winter.

"Go ask Junma Cao, why is it like this? Don't you feel pain? Why don't you scream?"

Princess Jinyu only felt her legs weaken. She looked at the sticks stained with flesh and blood raised high. As long as she walked over, those sticks would fall on her.

"Mom, if he doesn't scream, it means he doesn't feel any pain, so there's no need to ask," she said with a smile.

The woman looked at her: "Really?" Suddenly, she looked past her and looked to the side, a smile appeared on her face, "That's all, you are a precious princess, you shouldn't be allowed to do these errands."

She said and raised her chin.

"There is a little lady playing over there. Call her and ask her to ask."

Princess Jinyu subconsciously turned her head to look, and saw a lake with sparkling waves. Standing by the lake was a graceful woman, admiring the lake scenery.

Her body instantly stiffened, her spine felt chilly, and she remained motionless as she watched the woman turn her head, her face as beautiful as a flower.

Mrs. Du San.

Princess Jinyu shouted this name in her heart, her eyes broken.

"Hey, I think I saw it"

Shangguan's consort, who was standing still, suddenly had a dull look on his face, murmured in his mouth, and his eyes began to move.

Li Yu, who was standing next to him, was startled and stared closely at Princess Jinyu and Bai Li.

Princess Jinyu and Baili have not changed.

Princess Jinyu sat, Baili held the tea cup in his hand, and they remained motionless.

The same goes for everyone else in the hall. The palace maids are holding pots, the chamberlains are standing respectfully, and the staff are standing still with smiles on their faces.

The hall was like a stagnant pool, and the summer wind was blocked outside.

Li Yu instantly realized that something was wrong, and instantly knew that Bai Li had pulled the person into the illusion. He also instantly understood what Bai Li meant when he said that he should accompany Shangguan's consort.

He is someone who can stay awake in the illusion, but Shangguan's consort cannot.

Shangguan Prince Consort's dull face moved like the others, and his dull eyes looked in one direction. There was joy in his eyes, but there were still tears.

"Sanniang." He murmured with his stiff tongue and raised his hand as if to grab something.

Li Yu raised his hand to cover Shangguan's consort's eyes.

"Consort, you didn't see anything." He whispered, holding the raised hand of Shangguan's consort with his other hand.

Everything you see is fake.

Don't be confused, don't be obsessed, don't pass by.

Shangguan's consort stiffened again and seemed to be shaking anxiously. The next moment, a female scream broke the dead silence in the hall.

"I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm going to plant flowers!"

Li Yu looked over and saw Princess Jinyu standing up suddenly from the chair. At the same time, something was torn apart in front of her eyes, making a shattering sound.

"I want to plant flowers! Let me plant flowers quickly! I want to plant flowers for the empress!"

Princess Jinyu shouted, her voice resounding through the hall, and people rushed out at the same time.

The dull eyes of the chambermaids, maids, and staff in the hall faded away, but they immediately became panicked and confused.

"Princess!"

"What happened to the princess?"

Seeing Princess Jinyu rushing out, they also followed in panic, trying to help the princess and ask questions, but no one could stop Princess Jinyu. Princess Jinyu kicked away those who approached her and rushed towards the backyard.

Almost in the blink of an eye, only Shangguan's consort Li Yubaili was left in the hall, as well as a few attendants who were standing outside the hall at a loss.

What happened?

"Princess." Bai Li's voice sounded, a little uneasy and timid, "You still don't want to drink my tea."

Shangguan's consort looked over with a slightly dazed gaze and saw the woman standing with a teacup in her hand, while the palace maid carrying a teapot did not bother to pour water and hurriedly chased Princess Jinyu away.

The woman stood there, a little embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter." Shangguan's consort said, "Let's wait until she feels better."

After that, he looked at the sky again.

"It's getting late, you'd better go into the palace to pay homage to His Majesty."

He said and smiled again.

"After all, it was His Majesty who approved your marriage."

The meaning is that it doesn't matter whether the princess drinks tea or not, the marriage is done, whether you recognize her or not, she is still the wife of the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu.

Bai Li looked at Shangguan's consort, smiled and saluted: "Thank you, consort." After that, he added, "Thank you, uncle."

Shangguan's consort nodded with a smile and motioned for them to go.

Seeing Li Yu leading the woman out, Shangguan's concubine exhaled softly, feeling a little sad for no reason. He pressed his heart, feeling that he had just seen someone, and his heart was happy but empty.

"Are you okay?"

As soon as he went out, Li Yu asked in a low voice, looking at Bai Li's face.

"Are you okay?"

Bai Li smiled at him: "Of course it's okay, I'm fine."

If you want to teach her as an elder, that's not possible. She is not an ordinary new wife, she is a monster new wife.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Dongyang Hou Mansion, his smile became even stronger.

Compared with Princess Jinyu, Mrs. Dongyang Hou is much luckier.

At the beginning, I was just trying to show off to her, and I didn't think of teasing her, otherwise I would be able to see what it means to be a bad daughter-in-law.

The thought flashed through her mind, and she looked towards the direction of the imperial city, her smile getting even stronger.

"Let's go, it's time for us to enter the palace."

There is another person whom I am looking forward to meeting.

More words to make up for the lack of updates yesterday haha
