Gu Zhihua was stunned and spoke subconsciously, but Chen Momo who was beside Chang Ning had already reacted and immediately slapped Gu Zhihua hard on the face: "How dare you! How dare you answer standing up when the princess asks?"
"I… "
Gu Zhihua, who was slapped on the ground, was a little dazed. After a moment of daze, she panicked. However, when she was about to open her mouth to defend herself, Gu Qiang walked out first, bowed obediently, and replied: "Go back to the princess." If so, this is my younger sister."
"younger sister?"
Although Chang Ning rarely came out, she still recognized the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family. She frowned and said displeasedly: "I remember that your mother passed away not long after giving birth to you?"
"yes."
Gu Qiang's voice was light and polite, and she said respectfully: "Zhihua is the work of my stepmother."
Ye Shi in the crowd suddenly felt that there seemed to be countless eyes directed at her. Ye's face turned pale and she squeezed the handkerchief in her hand tightly. The handkerchief was about to be torn apart.
"No wonder."
Princess Changning's voice was suddenly full of contempt and understanding. She glanced sideways at Gu Zhihua, who was shivering on the ground. The waving peacock on the bun was too conspicuous. She suddenly reached out and waved away the peacock. Step shake.
"Snapped"
Bu Yao burst into tears in response, but Chang Ning's voice became more and more contemptuous: "She is born from the stepmother, no wonder she is so uneducated!"
Gu Zhihua's face was extremely pale, and her face was scratched when the Bu Yao fell, but at this moment, she no longer felt the slightest sensation.
She was slapped by Mo Mo in the palace in public, which basically meant that she would be rejected by the entire royal family!
Princess Changning's words even questioned her identity as a direct descendant!
However, Chang Ning was still upset and glared at Ye, who was also pale in the crowd, and said angrily: "I don't want to come to the palace for this spring banquet. Just show off! Go to the palace!"
"Sister Huang, what's going on?"
"Best wishes to the princess for a thousand years."
The two voices sounded almost at the same time. Gu Qiang was startled for a moment, and then she realized what she was doing. She gave a blessing to Shen Qianshan who was looking at her: "I have met the prince."
The ministers and ladies were even more stunned. After Gu Qiang knelt down, a group of people began to salute one after another. At the same time, the following ministers were more awake than the wives, and they all smacked their lips in their hearts: The spring of the Prime Minister's Mansion. At the banquet, Princess Changning is already a distinguished person. Why is it that the Ninth Prince, who usually doesn’t show up easily, is here
Prime Minister Gu's power may be much deeper than they thought.
Shen Qianshan was too lazy to care about the eyes of the people below, he just raised his eyebrows and said casually:
"Get on your feet, I'm just here to see the spring banquet at the Prime Minister's house.
He paused, and Chang Ning greeted each other, and then he couldn't help but frown and asked again: "What did you mean when you saw the emperor's sister being so angry just now?"
Speaking of which, Emperor Taizu didn't have many children in his life, but he only had Princess Changning and Ninth Prince Shen Qianshan who were the same mother as the current emperor.
Maybe there is not much age difference between them, but Changning and Shen Qianshan have a really good relationship. Seeing her brother's concern at this time, Princess Changning couldn't express her pain, and her eyes turned red, "It's okay... It's just my own fate that's miserable."
Shen Qianshan understood immediately. He subconsciously glanced at Gu Qiang, who was standing upright. Seeing that her face was expressionless, he then looked at Gu Zhihua, who was still kneeling on the ground.
Wearing a rich red peacock dress, even if the imperial sister's taboo is not taken into account, the second daughter of the prime minister wearing this dress is indeed out of line.
Thinking in his heart, Shen Qianshan's words were a bit cold: "Take this person down! I don't want to see this dress a second time."
First the princess, then the prince. Gu Zhihua's legs were weak. After reluctantly saluting, he was supported by several girls and retreated.
"Sister, please be patient. Except for those who don't understand the rules, I will sit with your sister for a while."
Now that the Ninth Prince has spoken, there is no reason for Chang Ning not to listen. Although Ye's face was still pale at this time, she was indeed a tough-minded person. She forced out a smile and asked the two princes and princesses to sit down. There was no delay. The long spring banquet finally started. Several ministers and wives accompanied them and told some jokes, and the atmosphere slowly calmed down.
Princess Changning was in a good mood after drinking. She suddenly remembered something and sent a message to Gu Qiang to come forward to speak. Upon hearing this, Ye, who was sitting next to Gu Qiang, changed her face again and whispered, almost gritting her teeth. : "It's all your fault, isn't it?"
