Chapter 1355: The Edge Is Revealed
The meaning of this gaze was self-evident.
The crowd followed Lin Yuelan's gaze and looked at Liang Renhui and Xiao Jingyu. Then, they suddenly realized something and covered their mouths as they snickered.
This princess of Guguo was really mean!
Did she just imply that the High Priest of the Aduo Chai Kingdom and Princess Linglong of Black Cloud Kingdom had an affair?
When Xiao Jingyu finally reacted, her face immediately turned red and white. She glared fiercely at Lin Yuelan with eyes that were spewing out flames of anger.
If looks could kill, then Xiao Jingyu would have already cut Lin Yuelan into a thousand pieces.
At this moment, Consort Liu De, who was sitting next to the Emperor, had a glint in her eyes.
Then, she also advised," That's right, Princess. We should be forgiving! The High Priest only thought that the Princess had gone a little overboard. Since the other party had already apologized, both sides should take a step back. Moreover, the visitor is a guest. If you don't let her off, aren't you making things difficult for the guest?"
Consort Liu was asking Lin Yuelan to lower her status and compromise with the other party. At the same time, she was trying to curry favor with the Aduo Chai Kingdom and the Black Clouds Kingdom.
In another sense, she was doing this for the sake of friendly relations between countries, wasn't she?
Lin Yuelan didn't answer Liu Defei's question but looked at her with a faint smile.
In an instant, Consort Liu De felt as if the chair under her butt was being pricked by a needle. Her expression froze, and she felt a little awkward!
She knew very well that although she was speaking to Princess Linglong, she was actually making things difficult for Lin Yuelan.
"Consort De, you are wrong!" Empress Chen's cold voice rang out in the hall." Princess Linglong is not apologizing to Princess Gu, but, "Her sharp eyes swept across Consort Liu De, then looked back at the hall. She said very seriously, "She is asked to apologize to the people of the world! Princess Guguo was only accepting Princess Linglong's apology on behalf of the people of the world! Without sincerity, the princess of Guguo could not accept the apology!"
Consort Liu De's expression turned cold. She looked at Empress Chen, who was sitting across from her, with a slightly dissatisfied expression. However, she quickly met the Emperor's warning gaze and smiled awkwardly." Your Majesty is right. It's younger sister who is thinking too much!" Then, she sat down and didn't say anything.
When Xiao Jingyu heard Consort De's words, she was originally a little proud. She thought that Lin Yuelan's unrelenting attitude had already made the people of Longyan Kingdom somewhat unable to bear it.
However, Consort Liu De was actually stopped by the Empress with just a few words!
Xiao Jingyu suddenly felt wronged. Her eyes were red, and her face was filled with a determined expression that made people's hearts ache.
Very quickly, some people started to pity her!
"Imperial sister, Princess Linglong was too impatient and made a slip of the tongue. Why are you so mean? Moreover, Princess Linglong had already apologized. Wouldn't it forgive and forget?"A prince sitting at the back said.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. It was the Sixth Prince.
When he said this, Lin Yuelan noticed that his face was slowly showing a jealous expression, although it quickly flashed past.
A cold smile appeared on Lin Yuelan's face, but her sharp eyes were fixed on Xiao Jingyu.
She didn't care about the Sixth Prince's persuasion at all.
She knew that she had jumped from a peasant girl to a noble status, a princess of the Guguo who was above everyone else.
Moreover, the Emperor had personally promised that this Princess of Guguo did not need to follow the palace rules and etiquette. When she saw other princes and concubines other than the Emperor, she did not need to bow and kneel at all.
This attracted the envy and jealousy of the legitimate princes and concubines.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Yuelan repeatedly made things difficult for the foreign guests. This made many people unable to stand it.
Therefore, this Sixth Prince was the person that stood up for the other disgruntled members of the palace.
Similarly, many people secretly felt that this Sixth Prince was simply a big fool.
When the Empress reprimanded Consort Liu De, she said that Xiao Jingyu was not apologizing to Princess Gu but to the people of the world. She had to be sincere!
However, this sixth prince was going against that.
This was truly slapping one's own face!
Wouldn't this be a joke to others?
