Chapter 28 Birds of a Feather Flock Together
There was deathly silence in the flower hall, and everyone had expressions of resentment, hostility and gloating on their faces, as if Yan Li's offending Princess Muya meant that his death was imminent.
Yan Li picked up the tea cup in front of her, and her voice was so calm that she couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry: "Miss Gu, can I introduce you now?"
Gu Anxian came back to her senses and looked pale. After a while, a dignified and elegant smile appeared on her face: "The guests invited today are all noble ladies from the capital. Princess Nanyang's attitude is beyond my expectation."
"The upbringing of the noble girls in the capital is beyond my expectation." Yan Li sneered, "They say birds of a feather flock together, I guess Miss Lai Gu is no different from them."
Gu Anxian's expression froze, and she suddenly tightened her grip on the tea cup.
"I am Song Yingxue, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance." A woman across the street said, looking at Yan Li expressionlessly, "I have always heard Jiang Jingyue mention Miss Yan before, and we all thought that Miss Yan was a soft and weak girl. Although You are dependent on others, but at least you have self-awareness, so when we learned that the emperor named you a princess, we wanted to see what is so special about Miss Yan that she can be so favored by the emperor. Unexpectedly..."
Yan Li glanced at the woman who was speaking. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a gentle and elegant appearance. Her eyes concealed the arrogance of a talented woman. A simple self-introduction could make people feel her disdain - yes, disdain.
The way she looked at Yan Qing at this moment was as if Yan Li was a nobody. Even with the status of a princess, she was still an embroidered pillow with nothing in her belly, and her humble and pitiful background did not change at all.
Yan Li raised his eyebrows: "What didn't you expect?"
"I didn't expect to be famous after meeting you." Song Yingxue sneered, "Miss Yan looks like a sharp-tongued girl. She doesn't look like an orphan girl living under someone else's roof."
Yan Li hummed indifferently: "Everyone here speaks sharply and aggressively. You don't look like well-educated ladies at all. Instead, you look more like ruffians who bully others."
"You!" Song Yingxue was angry and stared at Yan Li coldly, "You are such a little bitch who overestimates your capabilities!"
Yan Li's eyes turned cold, he stood up and walked to her, raised his hand and slapped her over, bang!
"What are you doing?" Gu Anxian stood up in shock, "Yan Li, you-"
Song Yingxue covered her face in disbelief: "You dare to hit me?"
"You are the one who is being beaten." Yan Li's eyes were piercingly cold, "The Song family girl has such a dirty mouth. It seems that the family tradition is not very good. She cannot be called a 'noble daughter'..."
"Be presumptuous!" A cold shout came from behind, "I am the eighth princess Mu Yunzhu, Yan Li, this is not the place for you to be presumptuous."
As soon as these words fell, the air in the flower hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone present looked at Yan Li with mocking or contemptuous eyes. The eyes seemed to say, the real princess is here, what about you, a fake princess? end?
Yan Li turned to look at Mu Yunzhu, "I can't be presumptuous?"
"It's okay to be arrogant and domineering in the palace before. This is the residence of a prime minister. What do you want to do in front of so many noble ladies?" Mu Yunzhu said in a cold tone, "I really thought that my father would make you a princess. You can be lawless?"
Yan Li has some impressions of Mu Yunzhu. She met this princess last time in the Queen's Fengyi Palace. At that time, she knew that Yan Li was under the protection of the emperor, so she did not dare to blatantly attack. Today, she obviously wanted to watch a good show, so she just She had been letting the ladies of various families taunt her, but now she saw that she was out of control, so she started to show off her power.
Yan Li thought of four words for no reason, killing someone with a borrowed knife.
Even if she is a fake princess, she was personally sealed by the emperor. The weight of the imperial edict cannot be understood by the noble ladies present, so the only explanation is that someone deliberately used these noble ladies to deal with her. The girls who have not yet left the palace have brains, but not many, where Does the Queen have the means to compare to the fact that she has survived decades of fighting in the palace?
With a little provocation and the jealousy caused by the Ninth Prince incident, they naturally wanted to tear her apart.
Today, headed by the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace, the noble princesses of the clan and the legitimate daughters of several important ministers in the court joined forces to make things difficult for her. Even if the emperor knew that they were rude to Yan Li, he would not be able to do anything to these ministers. After all, the law does not take responsibility. Public.
The affairs of the youngest daughter's family did not involve the court, but the emperor had to consider whether the ministers would have any ideas about who he wanted to punish.
Yan Li has already seen through these little thoughts, so she has no intention of letting the emperor stand up for her anymore. Only children often play the trick of complaining.
"Lawless?" Yan Li smiled casually and turned to look at Nanny An, "Nanny An, who do you think is more lawless?"
Aunt An respectfully replied: "Anyone who is disrespectful to Her Highness the Princess today is considered lawless. Tonight, I will go into the palace and report the truth to the Emperor. It will be up to the Emperor to make the final decision."
Mu Yunzhu's expression darkened: "Nanny An, don't forget your identity! You are just a slave. If you dare to confuse right and wrong in front of the father, the queen will not let you go!"
Aunt An lowered her head: "Thank you, Eighth Princess, for reminding me. I will remember to tell the truth and there will never be a word of lies."
Mu Yunzhu gritted his teeth, his eyes as cold as water.
"I remember that the eldest daughter of the Gu family personally sent the invitation to me. With this array of people today, it seems that you are trying to bully the minority with more people?" Yan Li sneered disdainfully, "You want to besiege me with the help of many people. ? You are so full that you are all bored?"
"Yan Li!" Song Yingxue stood up, half of her face was red and swollen, but it did not affect her furious temper at this time. "I tell you, the Ninth Prince has a noble status and strong abilities. He is not worthy of an orphan girl like you! If it weren't for it! You, an orphan, overestimate your capabilities and want to eat the flesh of a swan. Do you really think we care about you?"
Mu Yunzhu stood up and walked to Yan Li with a condescending attitude: "Yan Li, you are not worthy of Uncle Nine Emperors."
"Yan Li, you should go back and look in the mirror." Mu Yun picked up the cup of tea in front of him, walked over and poured it on Yan Li's face, "How dare you think of Uncle Nine Emperors? Are you worthy?"
She didn't move too fast, but Grandma An didn't expect her to do this, and by the time she reacted, it was already too late.
Yan Li did not hide, and allowed the tea to splash on her face, and then slowly flowed down from the ends of her hair, all over her face.
"Your Highness Princess!" Nanny An's expression changed, and she hurriedly walked over, took out the handkerchief and wiped Yan Li's face, "Old slave, you deserve to die——"
"It doesn't matter." Yan Li raised his hand to stop her movement, her stunning little face as indifferent as snow, "This is her own death, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
What?
Before Nanny An and the others could realize what she meant, Yan Li suddenly made a move like lightning, grabbed Mu Yun's neck without warning, and dragged her to the lake.
"What are you doing?" Mu Yun struggled violently, "Yan Li, uh, let me go -"
Bang!
Yan Li kicked her into the lake.
