Chapter 216 Recognition
Zhen'er, another maidservant beside Liang Yisan, was not to be outdone. She said, "Princess, the best hot pot restaurant in Kyoto City is opened by Princess Jing. Can we eat in her hot pot restaurant..." It's true that like master, like servant.
"That's right, this hot pot restaurant is hers! She made me look so embarrassed today, I won't let her off easily! I want to make her lose face in the Western Chu Kingdom and never stand up again!"
"Then Princess, you can exchange identities with the Fifth Princess, stay here, and then you can marry Prince Jing!"
"Of course, I happen to have some medicine from Dr. Lai Gong."
"Princess, is this medicine the...Snake Spirit Powder?" The maid Xiu'er seemed a little scared.
"Yes, it's that medicine. What's wrong, Xiu'er? Go find someone to put the medicine in the kitchen of her hot pot restaurant."
"Princess, this... this... will kill people, right? Is it okay in Xichu?"
"Hehe, this princess is going to make sure someone dies from eating at her hot pot restaurant! Don't worry, no one will guess that it was this princess who did it. This princess will leave this Kyoto city of Western Chu tomorrow!"
"Yes, when Princess Jing's hotpot restaurant poisons someone, I will find some people to go there and make a big fuss, then Princess Jing will..."
"Zhen'er is the one who understands me. When the time comes, Prince Jing will have no way to save her and will definitely divorce that bitch Ouyang Yunyao! Xiu'er, you go and do it quickly." This method was extremely cruel.
"Yes, slave, go right away."
……
At the same time, in the bedroom of Princess Feng Lina of Ningyang in the palace, several palace maids were helping Feng Lina pack her things. Today, she would leave the palace and go to the post station where the envoys lived. She didn't want to leave so early, and wanted to find other ways to stay in the palace. However, the third prince of Beiyue disagreed, saying that if Feng Lina didn't go to the post station today, she would have to go to Beiyue as a concubine in the future.
The emperor did not pursue the matter because Feng Lina's father had saved him. He also negotiated with Beiyue to let Bei Jinqi take Feng Lina as a concubine. But Bei Jinqi was not a fool. He had sent people to find out that Feng Lina wanted to use him to harm others, which made him look so embarrassed. He gave the emperor of Xichu a favor and quietly recognized Feng Lina as a concubine. When he returned to Beiyue, he would deal with her properly.
Now Feng Lina's once beautiful face was dull and had lost its former radiance. The fierce battle yesterday still made her body in unbearable pain.
At this moment, her face was clouded with gloom, and her eyes shot out a fierce light, like a poisonous snake, but she seemed to have firmly controlled her emotions and did not get angry like usual.
She just sat on the couch, quietly watching the palace maids packing clothes and some items given by the emperor and empress.
"Princess, all the things have been put away. Is there anything else?" Her maid Hongying came to report.
"What's the situation in the palace now?"
"My Lady, Princess Jing and the Fourth Princess of Southern Chu are competing in the martial arts arena today. The Emperor and Empress are both there."
"Well, has the Queen Mother gone?"
"Princess, the Queen Mother didn't go."
"Let's go to the Queen Mother." Brother Jing, you treat me like this, so don't blame me for being ruthless to you. She had evil thoughts again. She wanted to join forces with the Queen Mother to deal with Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao.
……
Feng Lina brought her two personal maids, Hongying and Hongxing, to the gate of the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace.
When they arrived at the gate of Cining Palace, Hong Xing said to the eunuch at the gate, "Please inform the Empress Dowager that Princess Ningyang wants to see her."
The young eunuch called Madam Wu, who was beside the Empress Dowager, from the palace. Madam Wu said to Feng Lina in a haughty and unpleasant manner, "Hey, Princess Ningyang! What do you want to see the Empress Dowager for? The Empress Dowager hasn't even woken up yet!"
Feng Lina had never been treated like this before, but she could only endure it now. She knelt down hurriedly and said, "Madame Wu, please inform the Empress Dowager that Lina was murdered by a villain at the birthday banquet yesterday. I have come here today to apologize for disturbing the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet."
"Well, since you are here to apologize to the Queen Mother, you should kneel here and wait for her to get up!"
"Yes, Lina, thank you, Aunt Wu." Feng Lina suppressed her anger.
Nanny Wu didn't even look at Feng Lina, and turned to walk into the palace. She walked to the Queen Mother who was resting on the beauty couch and said, "Queen Mother, it's that little bitch Feng Lina who said she did something like that at the banquet yesterday, and she came to you to apologize."
"Your Highness, Princess Ningyang is truly amazing. Even after what happened yesterday, she still has the nerve to come to you." Madam Zeng, the Queen Mother's confidant, continued.
"Uh-huh……"
"Empress Dowager, she will leave the palace today and go to the Third Prince of Beiyue who committed obscene acts with her."
"Oh? I didn't know she was leaving the palace today. It seems she has figured it out. Let her in then."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
"Princess Xuan Ningyang is here to see you."
Feng Lina came to the Queen Mother and saluted...
The two of them got along better and better, and finally the Queen Mother dismissed everyone around her. They talked for a long time, and finally Feng Lina raised her eyebrows and left the Cining Palace with a look of joy in her eyes.
……
After the lunch, Chu Chenjing invited his eldest sister and her husband to the number one teahouse in Kyoto, Tianminglou.
In the private room on the third floor, after the waiter brought a pot of good tea and closed the door, Chu Chenjing formally introduced Ouyang Yunyao to them. They chatted while sipping tea and started talking.
Qin Lingang said to Ouyang Yunyao, "Princess Jing, you opened the best hot pot restaurant in Kyoto, right? It's my favorite."
"Third sister-in-law, how do you know this novel way of eating? This is the first time I've seen it, and I like it too! My husband told me that an old friend of his also loved this kind of hot pot."
Ling Gang was worried that Ouyang Yunyao had not revealed her identity to Chu Chenjing, and that saying too much might cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so he only revealed a little information.
When Ouyang Yunyao heard what the couple said, she knew that they didn't seem to be hiding anything from each other, so she looked at Chu Chenjing and said, "I learned it from TV."
"TV?" Chu Chenqing was a little confused.
Qin Lin was very excited when he heard this! He stood up suddenly and said, "Princess Jing, didn't you learn it from your mobile phone?"
"Ling Gang!" Ouyang Yunyao couldn't contain her joy and stood up excitedly.
"Major!" Ling Gang rushed to Ouyang Yunyao and gave her a hug excitedly.
Chu Chenjing saw the Prince of Dongqin holding his princess. How could this be allowed? No matter who you are! He looked dark-faced and forcibly pulled Ouyang Yunyao over and held her in his arms. "Brother-in-law, what are you doing? My sister is still here."
Ling Gang patted his head and remembered that this was ancient times and men and women were not allowed to touch each other, so he apologized awkwardly, "Hey, Prince Jing, am I too excited? What are you thinking, Yun Yao is my major!"
"Sister-in-law, you are so amazing. No wonder I was worried about you. During the competition, A Gang always assured me that you would definitely win."
"You don't know how talented the major is..."
