C177 Night-luminescent Pearl
Yang Lanqing expected that Jiegeng would not give her face and was about to pretend to be bullied when Jiegeng continued to attack.
"Logically speaking, you should still call me princess, right? Why is it that when you see this princess, not only do you not know the rules, you even dare to befriend me here? You don't know shame, but I feel ashamed for you. Could it be that you are used to seeing people with a higher status than you? Just call me sister? I didn't expect the Nine County Princesses to have such good poetry etiquette, but her younger sister is a cliché."
If Jiegeng were to mock her in private, Yang Lanqing could forget about it. But to lose her face in front of so many people, Yang Lanqing was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She, Bai Jiegeng, calculated what kind of identity was precious. If it was not for the title of Emperor, she was just a businesswoman, a village girl who was not even as good as herself!
"Lanqing greets Princess Renxi." In front of the people, Yang Lanqing could only lower her head.
"Alright, you can leave now." Jiegeng waved her hand, indicating that she did not want to see her.
"Princess, Lanqing specially came today to send an invitation to Eldest Sister." Yang Lanqing gave the girl beside her a look and that girl immediately gave Jiegeng an invitation.
Jiegeng crossed her hands and placed them in front of her chest. She did not intend to receive the invitation.
"Princess, Lanqing hopes to see elder sister at the Heaven Mending Ceremony." Yang Lanqing's manner of bowing and kneeling made others feel that Jiegeng was bullying others with her power.
"What a joke. Why should I go to your Tian Ji Ritual?"
"Princess, this time's Heaven Punishing Ceremony was planned by the Royal Highness. There was also His Highness's great seal above the invitation. Even if we don't give Lanqing face, we should at least give the Duke some face. " Yang Lanqing's smile was really obscure, but the corners of her eyes also told Jiegeng her intentions of showing off at this moment.
Jiegeng sneered.
I was wondering why Yang Lanqing would rush over to be humiliated by her. So she came to show off!
"You are such a hateful person. My family's young lady said that she will not go. Why are you still here pestering endlessly? So what if it was Zhen'an King who did it? You are just a woman, and you are still trying to get married, so why are you pestering a man? You do not know shame! "Shao, who had been quietly following beside Jiegeng, could not bear to look at him anymore.
"When Mistress speaks, when can a servant like you casually interrupt?" Yang Lanqing had followed Duan Shuang for a few days and her temper was already somewhat inflated.
Jiegeng indicated to Shao to let her withdraw.
"My people are also people that you can teach a lesson to?" Jiegeng looked at him coldly and disdainfully.
Yang Lanqing who had never seen this kind of appearance could not help but feel nervous in her heart. "Trying to show off in front of me is giving you the courage?" Jiegeng, who had entered and left the Inner Palace many times before, had indeed learned a lot from the Empress.
"Princess, I..."
"You treat me as your face, and you are so unruly. What kind of upbringing are you?" Jiegeng pressed on step by step, "Group leader, I am the Royal Highness..."
"You don't need to mention Duan Shuang to me. I dare to scold him in front of him. What about you? Who do you think you are! Are you his concubine now, or his bed-warming wife? "
Yang Lanqing would never have thought that Jiegeng, who had always been ignorant and indisputable, would actually be so domineering," I... "Under Jiegeng's deliberate humiliation, Yang Lanqing's face flushed red.
" Ah, could it be that you are thinking about the position of the Princess in Xiao? " Jiegeng sneered, "If you have the guts then go and ask the other people present. Are you worthy?"
Although Zhen'an King and Duan Shuang's current momentum was not as strong as before, but... Duan Shuang was still the dream lover of all the girls in the capital. Yang Lanqing only looked a little cuter. In terms of reputation, it had long made the group of noble girls even more dissatisfied.
Hearing Jiegeng's words, the surrounding crowd started to whisper. It was not without mocking Yang Lanqing's pheasant transformation into a phoenix.
Just when Yang Lanqing was in an awkward situation, Jiegeng suddenly drew the invitation.
"Just treat it as giving Duan Shuang face. Why don't I go and take a look?" Jiegeng opened the invitation card and looked at the content with contempt.
"You should be worried about what will happen to you and your son that day to not be overshadowed by me! Go back quickly and please Duan Shuang. Who knows, you might even be able to ask for a good outfit."
Initially, he wanted to come over and anger Jiegeng, but in the end, Yang Lanqing ran away in a fluster.
After Yang Lanqing left, Jiegeng immediately acted like a good girl and said to Hsing Zheng, "How is it? I won't embarrass you, right?"
Hsing Zheng stretched out his hand and held Jiegeng in his arms.
"The girl that this Crown Prince likes is naturally not bad!"
In front of so many people, Jiegeng did not dare to push Hsing Zheng away. She could only use all her strength to secretly pinch the administrative officer's arm.
"Don't push me too far!" Jiegeng said in a low voice.
The onlookers were shocked by Jiegeng's dominance a moment ago, but the next moment, they were surprised by the rapid progress between Jiegeng and Hsing Zheng.
Entering the shop, Jiegeng immediately pointed at Hsing Zheng and warned, "If you dare to go against the rules again in the future, I will definitely seal all the acupuncture points in your body. I will give you a strange poison in the world and slowly torture you to death!"
"Although you are scolding people now, why are you no longer as domineering as before?" Hsing Zheng did not care about it and was teasing him instead. "How many times do you have?"
Jiegeng waved her hand in annoyance, "That kind of appearance just now, I was just like the Empress. If I had to put on that kind of airs from time to time, I would not be able to do it."
"Are you and Duan Shuang real or fake?" Hsing Zheng asked Jiegeng intentionally or unintentionally.
"Of course they are real!" Jiegeng looked at Hsing Zheng guiltily and then became calm. "What's wrong? I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm busy with my business today!"
Hsing Zheng quietly looked at Jiegeng's back and smiled alone.
In the blink of an eye, it was Yang Lanqing and Yang Lanqing's day.
"Emperor, this lowly subject has something to report!" The Ministry of Revenue official specially took the report after the court session and headed to the Emperor's Imperial Reading Room.
"What do you need, just say it."
The Minister of Ministry of Revenue looked at Sima Ling who was waiting by the side and hesitated. "This is related to Zhen'an King. Is there a need..."
"My dear minister, there is no need to treat me as an outsider." The Emperor's words completely dispelled the doubts of the Ministry of Revenue official.
The Ministry of Revenue Minister ordered people to hand over the memorial as he started to report.
"A few days ago, the Royal Highness privately used ten thousand taels of silver from the warehouse for his use. When this lowly subject investigated carefully, he actually discovered that His Royal Highness used the ten thousand taels of silver for today's auction."
The Emperor's hand that was holding onto the memorial kept shaking. But he still used an extremely calm tone to ask, "At the auction house, what is the use?"
The Ministry of Revenue official hesitated for a moment before saying slowly, "His Royal Highness used ten thousand taels of silver to bid for a bowl-sized luminous pearl!"
"Ridiculous!" When the Emperor heard this, he immediately slammed the memorial in his hand onto the table.
"Where is Duan Shuang now?"
"He is at the Yang family's young miss' Heaven Mending Ceremony." The Ministry of Revenue Minister lowered his head and answered truthfully.
