Chapter 114: Broken Leg
After saying that, he struck a pose that no one could refuse.
"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go."
"Please, please."
Everyone was happy to expose this matter. After all, no one really wanted to see the jokes in the Duke's Palace or Prince Fu's Palace, and they were not full.
Then Shang Ji went to the banquet place without even raising his eyes.
As for Shang Zhihe's miserable screams, they did not cause much trouble even in the huge Duke's mansion.
Wei Taiwei looked at his leaving figure, feeling angry and dissatisfied.
But he also knew about the grudge between his daughter and Dongyuan, so he didn't put much hope in Shang Ji, hoping that he would really vent his anger on He'er.
So he just snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the room where Shang Zhihe was shouting.
King Fu glanced at the Crown Prince and felt a little resentful that iron could not become steel.
"En'er, we are a family after all, why should we make such a fuss? Besides, my father told you before coming here that you should not provoke Shang Liulang easily. He is now a popular figure in front of the emperor. If you provoke him, you will not give him any trouble. Looking for trouble yourself?"
Prince Fu didn't believe in evil, so he held his neck and said.
"How can a minister make my father so fearful? Is this outrageous?"
"Shut up! Is he an ordinary minister? The 400,000-strong Tiger Army is the unyielding commander. He conquered the thirteen cities of Cezhou. Do you still want to provoke him?"
After Prince Fu heard this, although he still cursed, he was also a little scared in his heart.
After all, he is the one who really kills people without blinking an eye, so it would be better to provoke him less in the future.
Seeing that his son's expression was calmer than before, Prince Fu spoke.
"Let's go and see He'er. You broke someone's leg for no reason. You should be compensated."
Prince Fu couldn't stand up to Shang Ji.
But Prince Fu still looked down upon Shang Zhihe or other people in the Duke's palace, and said with a straight expression.
"Dream, that boy is so courteous in front of my mother and concubine every day, which makes me no longer loved by my mother and concubine, and you want me to make amends, right? It's best to love him to death."
After that, he ignored King Fu's shouts and walked out of the Duke's Mansion without caring about himself.
Behind him was a group of palace guards, so Prince Fu was not afraid of anything happening to him.
After taking a look, I couldn't help but sigh.
It’s not up to the father to grow up.
After thinking about it, I didn't plan to go up and apologize right now. I'd rather wait until the doctor comes to talk about everything.
So, I changed my direction and headed towards the banquet.
The seats were divided into men and women, so after the men's seats in the front hall opened, not long after, the seats in the flower hall also opened.
Mrs. Wei made arrangements and asked all the female family members to take their seats.
Today's banquet was prepared in advance by a tea and rice chef who specially prepared dishes for princes and nobles.
Therefore it is very delicate and delicious to look at.
On the main table, Princess Yuehua is in the middle, accompanied by Mrs. Wei and Princess Fu on the left and right.
Silang's wife, sister-in-law Liu Shi, Du Jingyi, eighth sister Xue Niang and Shang Zhiyin are also there.
No matter how they usually quarreled, in today's scene, no serious master of the Duke's Mansion could be absent.
As for the eldest lady of the Wei family, Mrs. Xing, Wei Jialian and others, no matter how close they are to them, they can only sit at the side table.
When Mrs. Wei saw Du Jingyi, she couldn't help but feel a little angry.
She was quite generous, not as shy as Dongyuan used to be.
So he glanced at his daughter, Princess Fu, and the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.
With Princess Yuehua here, today I will lose Dongyuan's face.
What about the general’s wife?
Don't you have to bend down and salute in front of the princess?
Princess Fu knew her mother's intentions and had just looked at Du Jingyi, so she was somewhat interested.
So he asked.
"This must be the Du family that Rokuro married three years ago."
Du Jingyi didn't panic when Princess Fu called her.
After standing up, he saluted the person above him and said.
"I have met Princess Yuehua and Princess Fu."
Princess Yuehua said "hmm" and then said.
"It seems that the rules are not bad, and the person is handsome. He is a good match for General Shang."
With Shang Ji's current prestige in the court, even if she is a princess, she still has to be wary.
She is not stupid, she insisted on demonstrating.
Before Mrs. Wei could get the face she wanted, she wanted to speak out and use her strength to embarrass Du Jingyi.
Unexpectedly, Nanny Jiao came in a hurry, looking very nervous.
Then, without caring about any etiquette or impoliteness, he whispered a few words into her ear.
Princess Yuehua's face darkened slightly when she saw this.
After all, one moment she was still talking, and the next moment a slave who didn't know the rules came.
But she soon noticed that Mrs. Wei's face was much uglier than hers.
All of a sudden, her teeth were clenched and her arms were shaking slightly, so Princess Yuehua asked curiously.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Mrs. Wei was sweating.
The grandson's leg was stepped on and broken by his grandson. This matter is embarrassing no matter where you talk about it.
If he said it now, wouldn't it be a joke to Dongyuan, and naturally he wouldn't be disgraced in front of Princess Yuehua.
So, I could only suppress the discomfort in my heart and said to Princess Yuehua.
"It's just a small matter. Don't disturb the princess's meal. Wife-in-law of Shiro, please go and have a look with Aunt Jiao."
Shiro's wife also felt strange when she was suddenly called by name.
But she had never disobeyed her mother-in-law, so she stood up and left.
After she left, Madam Wei had to pretend to be calm and looked at everyone, and continued to greet them.
She had originally thought of embarrassing Dongyuan in front of Princess Yuehua.
But now, she was thinking about whether her grandson's leg could be saved?
It was bitter to eat anything.
It was painful to look at anything.
Du Jingyi and her eldest sister-in-law Liu looked at each other and seemed to have seen the problem.
But Madam Wei didn't say anything, and they didn't want to make a fuss in this occasion, so they just chatted with Princess Yuehua about some harmless gossip.
"When I was in Yizhou, I heard about General Shang's merits. He lived up to the trust of Marshal Gu and protected the people of Cezhou very well."
If Madam Xing said this to Princess Yuehua, Du Jingyi would be happy and might even praise her.
But the words came from the princess' mouth, so whether she meant it or not, Du Jingyi didn't dare to be proud of herself.
So she stood up and said to Princess Yuehua. "I thank the princess for her husband's praise, but no matter how great the general's achievements are, they were all accomplished by the order of your majesty. It is the general's luck to be able to guard the border for Daxing, and it is also the grace of your majesty."
Princess Yuehua couldn't help but smile after hearing her words.
But she couldn't see any expression.
After a while, she said to the Princess Fu next to her.
"There are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Duke's Mansion. Look, you have a younger brother and sister who is eloquent."
