Chapter 377 The dispute in front of the palace.
In front of the palace gate.
Many people came early, and when they arrived at Duke Shunguo's mansion, there was already a long queue at the palace gate.
Many guards in the palace were maintaining order. The carriage was forced to stop twenty feet away from the palace gate. As soon as the people got off, the guards urged the carriage away. They could not stay for a moment, but there were still several people blocked in front. A carriage.
"Chu Chu, Juanjuan, wait for me."
Because of this palace banquet, Hongying also just returned home this morning. She is now wearing scarlet clothes of the same color as Mrs. Xiaoqi. Inside she is still wearing a restrained riding outfit, but outside she is covered with a jacket also inlaid with white fox fur. She is lively yet elegant, which matches her personality very well.
As soon as the three people met and stuck together, they had endless things to say.
However, they were all urged to go to the palace gate by the mothers walking in front. No one wanted to be the last to enter the palace, but the three of them still lagged behind.
"You don't look like a lady at all. You have to jump like this when entering the palace. How can you be so graceful?"
"I'm afraid that he was led astray by that kid from the country. He didn't educate him well when he came back. I heard he even took him to the north."
"Could it be that they were killing Tatars while riding horses and shooting arrows? It's really rare."
"Are you trying to learn how to kill someone?"
“Isn’t that what everyone from the countryside is like?”
A child who jumps around becomes a heretic in the eyes of others. What is this?
They were chattering happily and were more than ten steps behind the adults in front of them. The maids following them did not dare to join the crowd of ladies and had already retreated to the side.
There was a pointing and discordant voice coming from the side, and you knew it was aimed at them.
The three of them suddenly turned around and saw two girls who were slightly older than them, pointing at them with disdain and acrimony.
"Where did the crows come from on this happy day? It's best to kill them to avoid getting any bad luck."
Hongying couldn't stand this anger anymore, so she resisted again.
Chu Chu didn't know who was speaking, and then Hongying replied loudly: "In the eyes of crows, even swans are guilty!"
Those two girls were really ugly. Chu Chu felt that they were worse than crows. Otherwise, why would they be full of ugly words?
Hongying was even more stunned. Not to be outdone, she had already wanted to curse: "It's just that the sound is too noisy. Can crows enter the palace? Be careful when you go in and the feathers will be plucked, roasted and cooked directly."
"How dare you speak so rudely of your ladyship?"
The concubines were emboldened by them, and they dared to respond unexpectedly, but their words were more elegant.
"Who is the crow? Who are you scolding?"
The two crows were a little anxious and immediately raised their feathers, but their wings could not flap.
He just stood still and didn't dare to come closer.
Chu Chu immediately responded: "Whoever responds will be scolded."
"Redneck!"
The two of them didn't expect that the third one would dare to attack them, so their expressions suddenly darkened, and they started to scold them loudly despite their age.
It immediately attracted many people following behind, and some people started to stop and watch. Anyway, the front was so crowded that they could hardly walk, so they had nothing to do.
"Don't be afraid. The one with dark face and slightly thin face is Huang Huangchan, the granddaughter of the crown prince, and the short and fat one is Ou Meiyang, the youngest daughter of Prime Minister Zuo. They are usually very arrogant and unpopular. Don't be afraid of them. They are just paper tigers."
The Crown Prince and Taibao are first-rank officials, while Prime Minister Zuo is a second-rank official. Naturally, those who can attend the palace banquet tonight are all relatives of the emperor and the family members of first- and second-rank officials, who are either rich or noble.
Hongying introduced to Chu Chu in a low voice, but still stared at the two people. She usually didn't deal with these two people. She had long wanted to deal with them, but she hadn't found the chance yet.
A large circle of people had already gathered around the palace gate. When they heard their voices, they all looked over.
"what happened?"
The woman with the same black face and triangular eyes turned around and came over. She was not wearing palace clothes, which meant that she had no official orders. She dared to shout angrily regardless of the ins and outs, but turned towards the three of them with vicious eyes.
When Huang Jinchan and Ou Meiyang saw someone supporting them, they raised their ugly faces and immediately wanted to show their shame.
"You are so old and still ignorant? You dare to be so arrogant in front of the palace. Is it because the emperor has given you face?"
Li Yan, who had turned around after hearing the sound, was not to be outdone and stared at the two girls who were obviously two or three years older than the three children.
Mrs. Xiao Qi also followed them and walked toward them. She knew that Mrs. Shun Guogong's words had more weight than hers, but she didn't say anything even though she was right next to them.
A short, fat woman who also caught up looked at the formation and stood beside Mrs. Triangle Eyes, forming a united front, but she remained silent.
At a glance, one could tell that one was the eldest daughter-in-law of the crown prince, Feng Shi, and the other was Mrs. Wei, the left prime minister's family.
As soon as Li Yan said these words, the war between the children immediately turned into a confrontation between the ladies.
"What did the child say wrong? Aren't you from the countryside? Why don't you let others tell you?"
The eldest son of the Crown Prince and Taibao is not up to par. He is uncivilized and has no official status. Naturally, his daughter-in-law, Feng Shi, has no official title. Strictly speaking, he cannot enter the palace today. Today is just for food. However, relying on his father-in-law’s official status to compare Duke Shun is half a level above him, and he speaks with confidence and arrogance.
"As expected, like mother, like daughter. If I don't have the ability, how many generations can you be more noble by relying on the light of the high hall?
Even if I, the legitimate daughter of Duke Shun, are raised in the countryside, she is still a hundred times stronger than your white body. Where do you have the nerve to question me? "
Li Yan was still not relieved after finishing speaking, and continued: "Is it shameful to kill the Tatars by riding horses and shooting arrows? You say that defending the homeland and country is so unbearable. The soldiers left their homes and bravely killed the enemy, which is a model for the children to learn from, but you are so praised by you." Insulting, is this the family tradition of the crown prince and Taibao? Do you need to drag these children to the emperor to judge?"
Hongying also took a step forward: "If there are no soldiers to block the sword for you, you can't be a beggar. Who are you looking down on? I have no ability. I can't write with a pen and can't sharpen a knife. It's still reasonable!"
Hongying is not very old, but saying this last sentence really touched Feng's heart. Wasn't this about his husband?
Hearing Mrs. Shun Guo's words, Huang Jinchan and Ou Meiyang were startled and took two steps back.
They didn't dare to bear such a charge. They simply couldn't stand the three of them just now. They were two groups that they didn't want to deal with. They just wanted to have fun and be competitive.
However, Chu and Chu took a few steps forward and stood next to Mrs. Shun Guo. Brothers Yan Yuzhe and Yan Yuge also stepped back and stood beside their mother, glaring angrily at the people in front of them.
Mrs. Shun Guogong and Mrs. Xiao Qi were immediately attracted by the stars. The lineup was strong, and - it was very eye-catching.
Mrs. Wei saw that something was wrong with the situation and knew that the two children were in the wrong. She also saw that many people attending the palace banquet were staring at them reproachfully. They were obviously on the opposite side of them, so she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Li Yan: "Mrs. Shun Guo Gong, please calm down. It's normal for children to fight and make noise. If it's over, forget it."
"Forget it? Who is going to forget it? They are still children? I dare not say that my children are children. They have eaten for a few years in vain. Isn't there a grandma at home to discipline them? Go home and forget it, Gaomen A noble lady would never say such a thing."
"I think it's worse than the village women in Taohua Village!" Unexpectedly, Chu Chu, a six-year-old child, choked after her mother.
The woman with triangular eyes was so angry that she saw everyone staring at her, but she didn't dare to say anything anymore.
I really had no status and dared to confront Mrs. Shun Guo Gong. I was wronged and was sidelined by Mrs. Wei again.
