Chapter 999 The only thing I care about is Mr. Gu's gaze
Shen Maoxue's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly.
He knew very well the bad nature of men. When he was attracted to a woman, he would say all kinds of sweet words and do all kinds of things to pamper her.
But how can a man’s sincerity last forever?
But my sister is different.
Blood is thicker than water.
Family members are always connected by blood.
Even if His Majesty dotes on Concubine Chen, I'm afraid that in his heart he still cares more about Princess Yun'an.
After all, there are many concubines in the harem, and as long as Your Majesty wants, each one can become a favorite concubine, but there are only three dear sisters.
Thinking of this, Shen Maoxue felt a little uneasy, and looked calmly at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.
Nangong Xuanyu's handsome face was covered by the crown, and the look in his eyes could not be seen. But from his expression, it seemed that he was not angry because of Shen Zhinian's words.
Even...somewhat agreeable.
Shen Maoxue was secretly shocked.
Could it be that His Majesty also feels that Princess Yun'an's temper is too reckless, so today he wants to use Concubine Chen's hand to temper her temper?
Right.
Princess Yun'an has already reached the age for marriage discussion. Both His Majesty and the Queen Mother have selected many young talents for her in the past two years.
But Princess Yun'an is very picky. She always looks down on this one or that one, and she has not yet married.
If I keep going on like this, I’m afraid I’ll become an old maid…
Perhaps His Majesty wants to take this opportunity to make Princess Yun'an calm down so that she can choose a prince consort with peace of mind in the future.
After figuring these things out, Shen Maoxue felt a lot more at ease, and there was even a hint of smile in his eyes.
In the past, although Concubine Chen was a favorite concubine, in the minds of many people, flowers cannot stay in bloom forever.
Especially at this time next year, a large number of young ladies will enter the palace. No one knows whether His Majesty's favorite will still be Consort Chen.
But after today, things will be different.
Your Majesty is also using Princess Yun'an to establish the authority of Concubine Chen!
Even the eldest princess, the emperor's biological sister, cannot act rudely in front of Concubine Chen. Who will dare to offend her in the future?
No matter what everyone was thinking, at this moment, the hall was exceptionally quiet...
Everyone's eyes were focused on Princess Yun'an and Shen Zhinian.
Princess Yun'an clenched her hands into fists under her sleeves, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Even though she tried her best to control her emotions, she couldn't help but look in the direction of Gu Jinxiao.
She was born to be a favored child of heaven and had the capital to look down on others. Princess Yun'an never took the ideas of ants seriously.
But the only thing she cared about was Mr. Gu's gaze...
What happened today indeed showed that she was shallow-minded. What would Lord Gu, Lord Gu think of her?
Thinking that Lord Gu might dislike her because of this, Princess Yun'an became so anxious that beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.
But no matter how she looked at it, Gu Jinxiao's cold face was full of aloofness, as if nothing could cause ripples in his heart.
Lord Gu...he is still so cold...
Princess Yun'an suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart.
She would rather Lord Gu show displeasure or even disgust because of her recklessness today.
That at least proves that Lord Gu has her in his eyes.
Instead of completely ignoring her from beginning to end...
At this moment, Princess Yun'an felt a sharp pain in her heart.
why?
Why……
Others don’t know her feelings for Lord Gu. It’s impossible to hide the admiration in your eyes for someone. Can’t Lord Gu feel it?
Why did he never even look at her?
Seeing Princess Yun'an's hurt expression, Princess Qingyang showed pity and stood up to Shen Zhinian and said, "Noble Concubine Chen, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Third Sister is just being kind and worried that you misunderstood the starling. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, why not make a big deal out of a small matter?"
"After all, we are all family. Kneeling down and pouring tea to admit our mistakes is bound to hurt the harmony. Why don't we just forget about this matter..."
As she spoke of this, beads of sweat were already oozing out of Princess Qingyang's palms.
Because she mustered up great courage to say these words in front of Concubine Chen.
If it wasn't for her third sister, she really didn't want to offend Concubine Chen.
But Princess Qingyang actually thought so in her heart. Since this matter was just a misunderstanding, why did Concubine Chen have to be so unreasonable?
Shen Zhinian raised his eyes and glanced at Princess Qingyang.
In her previous life, she focused most of her energy on court struggles and paid attention to political affairs. She didn't know much about the women in the harem and these princesses.
It was also because Princess Yun'an went to marry the Xiongnu and ended up with such a tragic ending that Shen Zhinian knew her fate.
She doesn't know much about the other princesses whose presence is not strong.
I never thought that Princess Qingyang was quite interesting.
If she was the loser today, and Princess Yun'an was aggressive and insisted that the emperor abolish her position as imperial concubine, would Princess Qingyang stand up and speak for her?
Ah!
Princess Qingyang's words sounded like they were for the sake of the overall situation, as she didn't want today's palace banquet to be unpleasant, but in reality, her heart was completely biased.
But Shen Zhinian could understand.
After all, compared to herself, Princess Yun'an and Princess Qingyang are real sisters.
Just because she can understand it doesn’t mean she will tolerate it!
However, Shen Zhinian understood that she could only think about these words in her heart. If she said them out loud, everyone would think that she was unreasonable and wanted to ruin the atmosphere of the banquet.
After all, people have always been harsh on women, hoping that they would be gentle and quiet rather than sharp in words.
But as she once said, every monkey has his own way of tying up his monkey.
Shen Zhinian understood Princess Yun'an's temperament, so he naturally knew how to deal with her.
Thinking of this, she looked at Princess Yun'an with a half-smile: "Princess Qingyang is right. Since today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, if Princess Yun'an doesn't want to admit her mistake, then forget it."
"I also hope that today's palace banquet will be relaxing and enjoyable."
Concubine Zhuang always showed the image of a good person in public, so she smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Yes, yes."
"Princess Yun'an stood up to defend His Royal Highness Prince Jin. This brotherly love is truly touching."
"The Imperial Concubine Chen is also very generous and tolerant. She doesn't mind Princess Yun'an misunderstanding her."
"If this gets out, wouldn't it be a good story?"
At this point, Concubine Zhuang raised the wine glass in her hand and said with a smile: "Come, I offer a toast to Princess Yun'an and Concubine Chen!"
"After drinking this glass of wine, let's put the misunderstanding behind us."
I have to say that Concubine Zhuang is indeed very good at speaking sweet words.
After she smoothed things over, the atmosphere in the hall eased a lot.
