Chapter 233 A Coward Who Dares to Do Something but Not to Take Responsibility!

Princess Nanyang was once someone the prince didn't want, but now she has become the high and mighty Ninth Prince's Consort.

The prince has become an idle prince.

Not only does she have to kneel down and serve tea to Yan Li today, but I heard that she was imprisoned for life by the emperor last night...

It's really hard to predict, isn't it?

After a moment of stagnation, Mu Xiuhan slightly turned sideways while holding the teacup, his eyes swept across Yan Li's delicate face, and the taste of regret that broke his heart in these days made him feel it thoroughly.

His internal organs seemed to be bitten by insects and ants. Mu Xiuhan lowered his eyes and said woodenly: "Please have tea, Aunt Nine."

Yan Li took the teacup and sipped it calmly: "I drank the tea of ​​the idle king today. I won't bother you about throwing dirty water on me before. After all, I am your elder and you have learned enough lessons."

Mu Xiuhan seemed to be slapped in public. His face flushed instantly, but he didn't dare to show his face at all. He just said dryly: "Thank you for the lesson, Aunt Nine, but I have been deceived before. It's not intentional-"

"It doesn't matter whether you are stupid or deceived." Yan Li interrupted him, "As long as you see me in the future, respectfully call Aunt Nine, and the past things will be treated as if they never happened."

Jiang Jingyue bit the tender meat in her mouth so hard that she almost tasted the taste of rust.

Deceived?

In order to evade responsibility, does Mu Xiuhan want to put everything on the Jiang family?

A coward who dares to do but not to take responsibility!

"Please have some tea, Uncle Nine." Mu Xiuhan picked up another cup of tea and presented it to Mu Cang respectfully.

Mu Cang took the cup without saying a word, took a sip, and put it back on the tea tray.

When it was Jiang Jingyue's turn, she took a few breaths in her heart, then reached out to take the cup, and held back the hatred and unwillingness in her heart, and presented it to Yan Li with both hands: "Cousin... Aunt Nine, please have some tea."

Yan Li took the tea and looked at Jiang Jingyue expressionlessly: "You can't call me cousin when you see me in the future. You must call Aunt Nine respectfully, otherwise it would be disrespectful, and I can have someone slap you in the face at any time, understand?"

Jiang Jingyue's face was pale, and she almost wanted to splash the tea on her face.

The palace was silent.

The people present could not help but look at Emperor Zhaocheng quietly.

Princess Nanyang was so arrogant and domineering, and the emperor had no idea at all?

Okay.

The emperor really seemed to have no idea at all, and even a hint of smile appeared on his face.

Is this to approve of Princess Nanyang's arrogance?

Princess Nanyang is showing off her power to the emperor's own son and daughter-in-law.

The atmosphere stagnated for a moment, and Jiang Jingyue slowly lowered her head: "Yes, Jingyue has made a note, and will never dare to disrespect the Ninth Emperor's Aunt in the future."

After that, she presented another cup of tea to Mu Cang.

Mu Cang and Yan Li finished their tea, took out a purse and handed it to Mu Xiuhan and Jiang Jingyue, one for each.

This is a reward, from the upper to the lower.

The distinction between superiors and subordinates is clear.

Mu Xiuhan and Jiang Jingyue suppressed their emotions and thanked the emperor respectfully.

It must be said that today's family dinner is very special.

It is so special that the people present dare not even breathe.

They couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, is the emperor giving enough face to Mu Cang and Yan Li because of Jiang Yi's arrival, or deliberately taking advantage of Jiang Yi's arrival to reduce the arrogance of Prince Xian and the Jiang family, so that they would regret having made things difficult for Yan Li?

Oh, among the younger generations present, it was not only Mu Xiuhan and Jiang Jingyue who had made things difficult for Princess Nanyang.

The Yu Palace was demoted because of Princess Nanyang. In addition, the Seventh Princess, the Eighth Princess, and Gu Anxian had also had unpleasant experiences with Princess Nanyang in the past.

This time, taking advantage of the family banquet, did the emperor want to settle all the accounts at once?

After the Xian Prince and his wife stood up and left, the Yu Prince followed and offered tea.

He had not yet married, so he was the only one offering tea, and there did not seem to be much conflict between him and Yan Li, so he was not made difficult when offering tea.

Then came the Fifth Prince, the Sixth Prince, the Ninth Prince, the Third Princess, the Seventh Princess, the Eighth Princess, the Prince and Princess of the Xian Palace.

Finally, it was the Prince of the Yu County Palace, Mu Wenxuan, and his wife Gu Anxian.

Mu Wenxuan had hurt Yan Li before, so he couldn't help but feel guilty when facing Yan Li. His hand holding the teacup trembled slightly: "Ninth... Ninth Aunt, please have some tea."

Yan Li took the teacup and looked at him with a smile: "Are you scared?"

She knew why he was scared.

First, the lesson Mu Wenxuan learned when he wanted to hurt her was unforgettable. It was not enough for him to forget it in just one month.

Second, the person he had offended became the Ninth Princess, and he was worried about Yan Li's revenge.

"No, no." Mu Wenxuan lowered his head, wishing he could crawl into the cracks in the ground, "The Ninth Uncle has a strong majesty, which makes people palpitate."

Yan Li did not comment, opened the tea cover and took a sip, then put it back on the tea tray.

When Mu Wenxuan handed the teacup to Mu Cang, his hands were shaking less, but when Mu Cang took the teacup, he said coldly: "In the future, when you see your Ninth Aunt, stay away to avoid accidental injury."

Mu Wenxuan couldn't help shaking again when he heard this.

Princess Yu, who was sitting next to Prince Yu, twisted her handkerchief tightly involuntarily, knowing exactly what Yan Li and Mu Cang meant.

Thinking of how Mu Wenxuan almost died at Yan Li's hands, Princess Yu always had an indelible hatred for Yan Li.

But she knew that Yan Li was someone the Prince Yu's Mansion couldn't afford to offend, not to mention her husband Mu Cang, even the person sitting next to the emperor...

Princess Yu glanced at Jiang Yi from the corner of her eye, and she really felt that fate was playing tricks on her.

Fifteen years ago, the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, who was looked down upon by all the nobles of the Mu Kingdom, has turned into the queen of the Jin Kingdom.

It's ridiculous.

In silence, Mu Cang drank the tea and put the teacup back on the tray.

Then only Gu Anxian was left.

Mu Yunzhu, who had served tea and stood aside, frowned slightly and looked at Gu Anxian calmly, with some worry in her eyes.

Outsiders may not know, but she knows better than anyone that Gu Anxian's feelings for Mu Cang are almost obsessive.

Will she lose her composure?

Gu Anxian quietly took the tea from the tea tray and served it to Yan Li, thinking of the day when Yan Li first entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was still the high and mighty daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Yan Li...

Yan Li was still an orphan who was looked down upon by everyone and was extremely belittled by others.

That scene was obviously not long ago, but now it seems like a dream, with a sense of unreality as if it were a lifetime ago.

Gu Anxian was filled with jealousy.

If she had a dagger in her hand at this moment, she might have stabbed Yan Li in the vitals.

"Gu Anxian, what are you thinking about?" Yan Li's indifferent voice sounded in her ears, "You can lose your mind when serving tea, did you not sleep well last night?"

Gu Anxian came back to her senses with a start, and realized that she had been distracted just now, and hurriedly sent the tea forward: "Princess Nanyang, please have tea."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present frowned.
