Sure enough, the woman in red was irritated. She hugged her shoulders and said, "Scream, I've really seen you for a long time. In the whole capital, whose little maid dares to talk to this princess like this? You are so brave, a cheap maid." , I want to see, who is your mistress, the direct daughter of the Prime Minister?"

She suddenly pulled out the silver whip from her sleeve and whipped it directly on Cuiwan.

"Ah!" Cuiwan let out a shrill scream.

When this whip went down, although it could not break the flesh, it still tore the clothes, revealing the underwear underneath.

Lin Ruoxi brought such a maid, so she naturally didn't want to be beaten to death before she even entered the palace gate.

She looked back anxiously, hoping that Lin Ruoyou would come over quickly to help and intercede, but she didn't see her carriage.

She regretted so much that she should not have let her father snatch this luxurious carriage, otherwise, she would not have to bear the princess's wrath alone.

She argued tremblingly: "Your Highness, you have a noble status, how can you hurt people at will? I am indeed the daughter of Prime Minister Lin, and when my sister comes over, she can prove it to me!"

Princess Pei Ru frowned, and she suddenly remembered that there were rumors in the capital a few days ago that Prime Minister Lin planned to marry a commoner into the palace, but because his red hijab suddenly caught fire, he forcibly sent the wedding sedan back.

Is this person's daughter the emotional one?

She sneered and said: "It turns out that she is a daughter born from a concubine. Are you qualified to participate in this palace banquet? I said you were pretending, but you still don't admit it!"

Lin Ruoxi was ashamed and clenched the fingers hidden in her sleeves.

Under the gaze of everyone, she just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

Just at this moment, Lin Ruoyou, dressed in plain clothes, finally appeared. She asked doubtfully: "What's going on? There are so many people around, why are you watching the excitement?"

Lin Ruoxi felt like she was being pardoned. She said with a stiff face: "Sister, you came just in time. Her Highness the Princess said that I entered the palace under false pretenses!"

Princess Pei Ru's scrutinizing eyes fell on Lin Ruoyou, and she couldn't help but frown and asked: "Are you bullied by this concubine's daughter? Otherwise, she is dressed so richly, but you are so shabby? Is it possible that Lin Xiang dotes on my concubine? If you destroy your wife, please tell me quickly and I will ask my father to read a copy of his book!"

All the people present were legitimate daughters, so naturally they couldn't hear such words.

Their anger was aroused for a while, and they all loudly criticized: "That is, a concubine dares to be so arrogant, and the carriage she rides is better than that of a legitimate daughter. What kind of family tradition is this in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Lin Ruoxi's complexion was pale and ugly. She thought that Lin Ruoyou would be able to help her prove her identity when she came, but she didn't expect that their scoldings became more and more unpleasant.

She argued anxiously: "No, my father also loves my sister very much, but she didn't want to make a big carriage, so she gave it to me. She also gave me these clothes as a gift and brought me to the banquet!"

She grabbed Lin Ruoyou's wrist with all her strength: "Sister, please explain to me, you said you agreed to all this!"

It looked like a request, but to outsiders, her expression looked more like a threat.

Especially when Lin Ruoyou looked pitiful, everyone became more certain that Lin Ruoxi was openly bullying her.

Princess Pei Ru quickly stepped forward and pushed her away and said: "You have such vicious thoughts when concubine gives birth to a daughter. We are not blind. How can we not tell whether she is voluntary or forced?"

Only when Lin Ruoxi touched the hateful eyes that were like blades did she realize that she had offended the public.

Fortunately, the palace door over there has been opened, and the nuns are already urging the noble lady to go inside.

She let out a long breath and secretly swore in her heart that when she fell into the eyes of the Queen and became the crown prince's concubine, she would definitely humiliate all these women.

Especially Princess Pei Ru. If she wanted to throw her into the cesspit, she would have to soak her for three days and three nights before letting her out!

After adjusting her mood again, she walked into the Misty Rain Palace elegantly.

As its name suggests, the Yanyu Palace has pavilions and pavilions that are as beautiful as a dream and a mist, as exquisite and comfortable as a picture scroll.

The queen and a group of concubines were sitting in high seats, looking up at the noble lady from the capital who came to pay her respects, with a seemingly loving smile on her face.

The eldest princess also arrived. Her cold eyes swept across the queen, hiding a little hatred.

The queen suddenly didn't realize it, and said with a smile: "Pan'er, why do I feel that you are looking better and better recently?"

The eldest princess replied calmly: "Yes, why do I see that the emperor's sister-in-law's complexion is yellow and yellow, and there are large bruises under her eyes. Is it because she is busy with things recently and is tired?"

The queen's face turned stiff. Why did the eldest princess speak so viciously?I stabbed her when I came up. She looked so radiant and even put on heavy makeup, okay?

Not allowing her to think about her words, the eldest princess spoke again: "I brought back the medicated diet you gave me before, just in time for her to replenish it for you!"

The queen's heart tightened and she subconsciously refused: "No, how can I compete with you for people? There are many herbal diet masters in the palace!"

The eldest princess You Leng interrupted: "She has an exclusive secret recipe. The royal sister-in-law should know it better than anyone, right?"

The queen's face suddenly froze. She was not stupid. Of course she understood the meaning behind the eldest princess' words. It seemed that the plot against her had been exposed.

What a pity it didn’t work out!

This time it was better, not only did he not control her, he even made a grudge against her.

She suppressed the anger in her heart and said: "Pan'er, please sit down first. Later we will see which noble girl is suitable for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Regent. You can also help make some suggestions!"

The eldest princess sat down calmly, elegantly stretched out her hand to pick up a bowl of tea, lowered her eyes and tasted it slowly.

When all noble ladies meet alone, they will present the gifts with their own hands.

When it was Lin Ruoxi's turn, she spoke respectfully: "My daughter has specially prepared a jade Buddha for the Queen. I hope you like it!"

The half-foot-tall jade Buddha was carried up, its majestic appearance made the queen's eyes light up.

It's not that the jade used is very good, the carving alone is extremely fine and lifelike.

Liang Fei said gently: "Queen, this gift is really thoughtful. I just don't know whose noble daughter it is?"

The queen heard her reminder and said quickly: "Yes, I look at you, but I have never seen you at the banquet!"

Lin Ruoxi quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Ruoxi is the daughter that Lin Xiang just brought home. Please give my regards to the Queen!"

The eldest princess snorted coldly: "Didn't you say that we would choose a concubine for His Highness the Crown Prince? All the people invited on this post are the legitimate daughters of various palaces. Why is the emperor's sister-in-law planning to let a concubine give birth to a daughter to be the crown prince's concubine?"

The words "concubine will give birth to a daughter" really irritated the queen. She asked with a stern face: "What's going on? Why did the Prime Minister's Mansion choose such a woman to enter the palace for the banquet?"

Lin Ruoyou stood up and said: "Reporting to the Queen, it is hard to disobey my father's orders, and I am really helpless. Please forgive me!"

Lin Ruoxi knelt on the spot, feeling like her whole body was being pierced by others' looks of ridicule or disgust.
