Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 707: I am not smart, I just have self-awareness
Concubine Yue chuckled:
"Ziyan, you new gynecologist is really a clever guy."

Yang Jiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile:
"When Ling Zisheng saw that Young Shang knew the right thing and reported it to his uncle, he said that her temperament was somewhat similar to that of his mother and concubine. He also said that it was no wonder she was favored by me."

"It seems that I must have been influenced by my mother-in-law to look down on this stupid girl."

Concubine Yue laughed:

"You also have a clever mouth."

Yang Jiao said calmly:
"But my father always feels that if the Third Emperor Brother has inherited the strictness and coldness of the mother and concubine, then I have learned that the mother and concubine is unforgiving and loves to say things that others don't like to hear."

Concubine Yue glanced at him and then looked at Cheng Shaoshang:

"Shao Shang, I invited you here today not only because I want to meet you, but also because I want you to go back and ask your parents what they think about the engagement banquet."

Cheng Shaoshang smiled and replied:

"My mother-in-law has said before that she will let me make my own decision, saying that whether it is the engagement party or the subsequent marriage, it all depends on my and Ziyan's wishes."

Yang Jiao answered:
"Mother, we plan to hold an engagement banquet after General Huo's death anniversary."

Concubine Yue nodded:

"That's fine. If you do it faster, you can worry less and negotiate less. Then you can give me a list of guests that your family wants to invite to the banquet, and I will have someone prepare the invitations."

"Ah."

Five days later.

On the anniversary of Huo Chong's death, Changqiu Palace held a luncheon. In the afternoon, Emperor Wen and his family would go to Fengxian Hall to pay homage.

Changqiu Palace.

Everyone divided their dishes and ate. Emperor Wen was in charge, looking downcast and sad. Everyone below was also silent and eating quietly.

Among them, Ling Buyi's expression was more silent and cold than before.

At this time, Queen Xuan spoke:
"Since Shao Shang is Ziyan's bride, she will become one of the family members from now on. Please join us in toasting."

Just as everyone was raising their glasses, Emperor Wen waved his hand:
"No need, I have no intention of drinking today. You can continue to eat and wait until I can calm down."

After a while, the second princess said quietly:

"Sister Shaoshang, it is indeed true that I asked you to call me second sister. Oh my god, my fourth brother is finally engaged. You don't know how many people came to my house before he was engaged, asking me Make connections for them.”

"It disturbs me and makes me restless all the time, but I can't do what he did, thanking guests behind closed doors."

When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Yang Jiao beside him, and replied with a smile:

"He is used to living in seclusion. Even if the second sister goes to find him, I'm afraid she will come back in vain."

The second princess nodded:
"Sister Shaoshang is so smart. He only cares about practicing martial arts and doesn't want to talk to these girls at all."

Cheng Shaoshang laughed and shook his head:

"I am not smart, I just know myself. If Ziyan is willing to make friends with the girls in the capital, how could he let me take advantage of him in the end?"

As soon as these words came out, the fifth prince beside the second princess interjected:

"Ms. Cheng is really self-aware. Many people came to my house back then and asked me to invite Brother Four Emperors. Unfortunately, I was never able to get him to go to the appointment."

When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he smiled slightly:
"Fifth Prince, I haven't seen you for a long time. Have you read the book more clearly?"

He didn't know there was a trick behind his words, so he said nonchalantly:

"My father can't remember me anyway, so I can read it as I wish."

Cheng Shaoshang raised his eyebrows slightly:
"You are useless and can't understand the book. Aren't you just like me? When the Holy Spirit mentions you in the future, there will be nothing worth mentioning."

After hearing this, the fifth prince felt so angry that his chest felt tight and he said bitterly:
"My pleasure."

Suddenly, Cao Cheng came to report:
"Your Majesty, Princess Ruyang is here."

"Xuan."

Not long after, Princess Ruyang came in, and everyone bowed to show their courtesy, "Uncle, come, give me." Emperor Wen just wanted someone to give Princess Ruyang a seat, but he didn't expect her to go straight to where she was supposed to be. On the concubine's seat.

As soon as she took the seat, she said:
"Today is the anniversary of Huo Hou's death. I know that Your Majesty is hosting a family banquet, so I came uninvited."

When Princess Ruyang said this, she looked at Ling Buyi:
"Zisheng, today is the anniversary of your uncle's death, and I just want to ask you, you are so alone, and a hundred years later, the Huoling family is cut off, how can you have the face to meet the ancestors of the Huoling family under the Nine Springs."

"My Yuchang has already delayed the flowering period for you, and now I won't marry you unless you do it. Do you want to continue to be so stone-hearted?"

Ling Buyi said calmly:

"Whether the relationship between the Huo Ling family and the Huo Ling family is cut off, it has nothing to do with the old princess. If Princess Yuchang likes me, I must marry her. What kind of truth is that?"

"Today is the anniversary of my uncle's death. I hope the old princess will stop mentioning these irrelevant things."

Princess Ruyang snorted coldly:
"I just want to take advantage of the anniversary of Huo Hou's death to ask you in a polite way how my Yuchang family is not worthy of you, and I have allowed you to this day."

Before he finished speaking, an announcement came from outside the hall:

"The concubine Yue has arrived."

As Concubine Yue, dressed in plain white, walked in slowly, Emperor Wen's expression suddenly relaxed a lot.

She walked up to Princess Ruyang:

"Aunt, this is my position, please give way."

Princess Ruyang frowned:
"Aren't you coming? You don't usually attend family dinners."

Concubine Yue smiled:

"I miss my aunt. When I heard that my aunt was coming, I thought that there should be someone beside my aunt who can speak my mind. So, I hurried over."

She glanced:
"Come here, give Princess Ruyang a seat."

Two palace maids immediately brought the food table and cushions. When Princess Ruyang saw this, her expression was very aggrieved. After dilly-dallying for a while, she stood up and moved her position without saying a word.

When Emperor Wen saw this scene, a smile appeared in his eyes.

After Princess Ruyang entered the table, she couldn't bear this tone and said sarcastically:

"I am your elder after all, and you are really good at teaching me by words and deeds. Wen Ziyan learned your behavior to the point where he doesn't even know what etiquette is."

Concubine Yue said lightly:

"If we really want to talk about elders, my aunt is His Majesty's elder. How about sitting in His Majesty's seat?"

The third princess below saw the even more aggrieved look on Princess Ruyang's face, and couldn't help but smile on her face, because she had long disliked her for relying on her elders.

"I'm a little late, so you didn't cause trouble again."

When the third princess saw her mother reprimanding her for no reason, she was instantly stunned and her eyes widened, looking very aggrieved.

"If you cause trouble again, I will ask Your Majesty to take back all your food and slaves. I will see how you will be so arrogant in the future without money and power."

The second princess immediately interceded for him:
"Mother, my third sister has already made a mistake."

Concubine Yue said calmly:

"Stop being so nagging, if you continue to protect her, I will pray to Empress Nuwa that you will give birth to a girl as stupid as your third sister."

The Crown Princess couldn't help laughing and bowed:

"My mother and concubine have taught me a lesson. My father has already punished my third sister several times for her mistakes before, so please don't blame her."

The third princess was speechless when she heard this. She didn't expect that she, who usually looked down on the country-born princess, would just take pleasure in her misfortune and humiliate her.

"I advise you, Princess, to take care of your own one-third of an acre of land first. When you become a queen in the future and your mother honors the world, it won't be too late to teach me how to behave. But don't worry, I will definitely leave early. Some, I won’t let you waste this time.”

The Crown Princess's expression changed greatly when she was rebuffed, and she couldn't help but started crying in aggrieved manner.

"Why are you crying?"
