Chapter 147 Too Tired at Night
“Princess Yongle has such a high opinion of herself. Throughout history, no one has ever been able to receive His Majesty’s imperial edict without kneeling.”
Ren Yinxue was full of resentment. Even while kneeling on the ground, she still looked up at Su Fu with resentment.
She cursed inwardly, believing that everything Su Fuying had now did not belong to her.
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Gao's smiling face immediately fell. He frowned, glanced down at Ren Yinxue's face, and said in a serious tone:
“Miss Ren, this is His Majesty’s decree.”
"Is Your Majesty perhaps senile?"
Ren Yinxue's hostile words were like a bombshell, instantly igniting the atmosphere at the scene.
Everyone's shoulders trembled, their mouths agape in shock.
"Be bold!"
The eunuch shouted a rebuke, his voice deafening.
Those who had been gathered outside the gate, pointing and whispering about the mansion, all fell silent upon seeing this.
They came with the intention of watching a spectacle, wanting to see how Princess Yongle would handle the situation.
After all, she was first kicked out of the Su family home, and then entered the Pei family, which seemed glamorous but was actually empty.
This farce has undoubtedly become a hot topic of discussion on the streets.
Everyone thought that no one would care about the princess when she came of age, but unexpectedly, many people came to congratulate her, and these people were all important officials in the court.
Even more surprisingly, it is said that the leader of the Shadowless Hall, the most famous assassin organization in the martial arts world, also came in person.
Although this industry is not well-liked, if you can accomplish something, whether it's good or bad, it will become a remarkable achievement.
The current situation in the court is turbulent and unstable, and there are frequent wars on the border. The Shadowless Palace is rumored to possess enormous wealth, so there are countless people who want to curry favor with them.
Even if they have to put on a disdainful face, who knows what they're really like in private?
"Xiaoxue." Madam Ren sensed the tense atmosphere and remembered her husband's recent instructions not to be too ostentatious in public, so she gently tugged at Ren Yinxue's sleeve.
However, Ren Yinxue ignored him completely, stood up from the ground, and said firmly to Eunuch Gao, "Eunuch Gao, I am not feeling well today. May I be excused from these formalities?"
The eunuch's face was extremely gloomy. He opened his mouth to speak angrily, but then he heard Su Fuying speak up in surprise from the side.
"Oh dear, what's wrong? Is my sister feeling unwell? Did she get too tired yesterday?" she asked, feigning concern, her voice full of worry.
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Gao looked up and met Su Fuying's bright, innocent eyes.
He instantly understood Su Fuying's meaning and couldn't help but admire the woman's intelligence and wit.
Then, Eunuch Gao's expression softened, and he put on a respectful one, saying to Ren Yinxue in a strange tone, "Miss Ren, you are too kind. You are the future Crown Princess, how could this old servant dare to overstep his bounds in the slightest? Please stand if you wish."
This statement was like a bomb dropped into the crowd, causing a huge uproar.
Everyone turned their gaze to Ren Yinxue, their eyes filled with doubt and curiosity.
"The Crown Princess again?" someone muttered quietly, a hint of surprise in their voice.
The onlookers began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
Several ministers also cast questioning glances at Ren Yinxue, seemingly trying to find the answer in her expression.
The younger generation exchanged glances, each with a bewildered expression. They were utterly confused about the situation and had no idea what was going on.
At this moment, Ren Yingxue's expression turned extremely ugly.
Her fingers clenched slightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, as if she were about to unleash all her anger.
She glared at Eunuch Gao with eyes that seemed to spit fire, gritting her teeth as she said, "Eunuch Gao, don't talk nonsense! When did I become the Crown Princess?"
"Miss Ren, please don't be shy. You and the Crown Prince are deeply in love, and His Majesty has decreed your marriage. Once you return to your residence, you will be able to..."
"Shut up!"
Before Eunuch Gao could finish speaking, Ren Yinxue suddenly interrupted anxiously, looking at Madam Pei with pleading eyes.
Ren Zhong is not at home today. Even if he goes to the palace to persuade the emperor to rescind his order, how could she possibly marry the crown prince?
The person in her heart was far superior to the Crown Prince. Yesterday, she returned to the manor and made a scene all night, only managing to get her father to plead with her in the palace after receiving two slaps from Ren Zhong.
With her father involved, how could they possibly grant her a marriage?
"Is Eunuch Gao mistaken? Xue'er and the Crown Prince are merely siblings."
Madam Ren frowned. She knew perfectly well that Ren Zhong never made any mistakes, so this marriage was definitely not going to happen.
"What? Miss Ren, after spending a passionate night with His Highness the Crown Prince last night, are you planning to turn your back on him? Or are you just lusting after His Highness the Crown Prince's body?"
Su Fuying spoke with a puzzled look on her face, seemingly confused.
The words of Eunuch Gao were like a bolt from the blue, instantly turning Ren Yingxue's face pale and causing her body to tremble.
"You're talking nonsense! Nothing happened between me and the Crown Prince!" Her voice was filled with despair as she cried, tears streaming down her face.
Upon seeing this, Madam Pei immediately stood up and embraced Ren Yinxue, gently comforting her, "Xue'er, don't be afraid, your mother is here."
At the same time, she glared fiercely at Su Fuying, "Su Fuying, don't you dare spout nonsense and ruin my daughter's reputation!"
"Last night, Miss Ren's naked body was seen by everyone. Does Madam think she can keep it a secret?"
Su Fuying gave a disdainful sneer.
"Cough cough cough..."
Suddenly, someone in the crowd coughed, followed by a great uproar.
Ji Zhiyun cast an admiring glance at Su Fuying; she had never seen a woman so impressive.
She could say anything without hesitation, and looking at Ren Yinxue's smiling face that had turned from red to green, I silently gave her a thumbs up.
"No wonder I'm not feeling well today; it turns out I overworked myself yesterday."
"That's right, that's right. Didn't she say she was in love with the Regent? How come she turned around and threw herself into the Crown Prince's arms?"
"Hey, you know, right? Now that the other one is missing, they must have realized they couldn't find a better match, so they had to settle for His Highness the Crown Prince."
"That's true. Miss Ren is getting on in years. If she doesn't get married soon, it'll be too late."
"I just didn't expect her to be so open-minded, actually having relations with the Crown Prince right there in the palace,"
"Hmm, I remember this month the Crown Prince has already bestowed marriages for the third time. It seems that next spring the Crown Prince will be taking three women into his household."
......
A large crowd of onlookers gathered outside, and upon suddenly being presented with such a juicy juicy story, they disregarded everything else and began discussing it amongst themselves.
Everyone in the mansion pricked up their ears to listen carefully, each with a different expression.
Some people looked surprised, some looked puzzled, and some even looked gloating.
The gazes directed at Ren Yinxue had changed from envy and flattery to disdain.
"what!"
Ren Yinxue screamed, covered her head and slowly squatted down, tears instantly welling up in her eyes, "Mother, Mother, I don't want to marry the Crown Prince."
She was truly panicked now. Regardless of whether the imperial decree would be issued or not, Su Fuying's words were enough to make her lose face.
