Chapter 234: Unwilling to Give Up
Yan Li did not reach out to take the tea, but just reminded lightly: "The address is wrong."
Gu Anxian is the daughter-in-law of Prince Yu's Mansion.
Mu Wenxuan and the princes are all Mu Cang's nephews. After Gu Anxian married Mu Wenxuan, she should follow suit and call him the Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt.
Besides, today's tea ceremony is a ceremony belonging to the royal family, and it is for the newly married uncles and aunts.
Gu Anxian called him wrong, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and she needs to be corrected.
Gu Anxian's face was slightly stiff, holding the teacup in silence.
She couldn't call it out.
How could she not know how to address her today?
How could she not know that Mu Cang and Yan Li were married?
But she just couldn't call it out, and she just didn't want to call it out.
It seemed that as long as she called it out, she would completely admit defeat.
Besides, why was it Yan Li?
Even if it was another woman, she might be able to accept it, why was it Yan Li?
"Gu Anxian, what are you doing?" Mu Wenxuan noticed something was wrong, turned around and stared at her coldly, "Call her Aunt Nine Emperors."
Gu Anxian lowered her eyes and repeated calmly: "Princess Nanyang, please have tea."
If the first mistake was a slip of the tongue, then it was obviously intentional that she continued to make mistakes after being reminded by Yan Li and Mu Wenxuan.
The face of Emperor Zhaocheng darkened, and he turned to look at Prince Yu and his wife.
Princess Yu was so scared that her face turned pale, and she stood up quickly: "Anxian, Princess Nanyang has married the Ninth Prince. Even if she is younger than you, according to seniority, you should call her Aunt Nine Emperors in a proper manner, and don't make a fuss."
The meaning of her words has already attributed the reason why Gu Anxian was unwilling to call Aunt Nine Emperors to Yan Li's young age.
However, the people present knew clearly.
Gu Anxian's favorite person before was Mu Cang, and with her background and talent, she was enough to match Mu Cang, but in the end she married Mu Wenxuan, a playboy.
She was arrogant and had an unhappy marriage, so it was normal for her to feel unwilling.
It was indeed difficult for her to call the Ninth Emperor Aunt willingly at this time.
But the difficulty was only psychological. She was now a royal daughter-in-law, and Mu Cang was married.
The royal family rules should not be violated.
Her embarrassment should not override the rules, and she was not qualified to be willful here.
The emperor was still here, and the queen of Jin was also here.
She actually dared to insist on her ridiculous arrogance in such an occasion, which was really ignorant of the overall situation.
The old princes and princesses frowned, and several princes stood quietly by, with different expressions.
Mu Xiuyu's face showed some displeasure: "Cousin, what's wrong with you today? Did your uncle and aunt teach you this before?"
Gu Anxian pursed her lips, said nothing, and held the teacup silently.
Yan Li naturally wouldn't take it.
The two seemed to be stiff, and the atmosphere was stagnant.
Emperor Zhaocheng seemed to be about to get angry, but Jiang Yi stopped him: "Let the juniors solve their own problems."
Emperor Zhaocheng paused and turned to look at him: "Junior?"
"If not junior, then elder?" Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows.
Emperor Zhaocheng was speechless.
In fact, according to seniority, Mu Cang and Emperor Zhaocheng are of the same generation, and Yan Li is indeed a junior.
But Yan Li happened to marry Mu Cang.
So Yan Li became a person of the same generation as Emperor Zhaocheng.
Then Mu Cang became Jiang Yi's son-in-law and became a junior in front of Jiang Yi.
Emperor Zhaocheng's expression was pale for a moment, and he suddenly felt that he seemed to be shorter than Jiang Yi.
But this is not important.
The important thing is that they solve it themselves?
Emperor Zhaocheng slowly restrained his expression and looked at the scene in front of him without saying a word.
Gu Anxian held the teacup quietly, and Yan Li looked at it quietly. The two were also quiet, but there was an invisible spark flying in the invisible.
"Gu Anxian." Yan Li sat on the chair and smiled faintly, "You are meeting the Ninth Uncle and the Ninth Aunt today, not Princess Nanyang and the Princess's husband. As the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the daughter-in-law of Prince Yu's Mansion, if you don't even know this little bit of etiquette, maybe the emperor should send two maids to teach you the rules."
Gu Anxian lowered her eyes and remained silent, without saying a word.
Mu Wenxuan's face was extremely ugly, and he wanted to slap her, but he didn't dare to be impulsive because he was concerned that the emperor was still present.
But what is this bitch doing?
She has an indecent mind in her heart. When she sees the Ninth Uncle, she wants to pounce on him like a vicious dog seeing a bone, but she can't hide her thoughts at all. She has to embarrass herself in front of so many people?
What a bitch!
Mu Wenxuan took a deep breath and swore that he must teach this bitch a lesson when he goes back tonight, so that she knows whose wife she is.
"Gu Anxian." Princess Yu's face was livid, "What are you doing? Wouldn't the Ninth Princess yell?"
Gu Anxian didn't say anything. She didn't know what she was insisting on. She knew that what she was doing was wrong and what the consequences would be.
But she just couldn't accept it.
She didn't accept to give up like this. She didn't know where she lost.
She hated Yan Li. If she hadn't used a vicious plot to harm her, she wouldn't have married Mu Wenxuan, a scum. Tianlai Novel Network
If the Ninth Prince knew that Yan Li was a vicious person, would he still like her?
If she competed with Yan Li fairly, would Yan Li be her opponent?
The palace was almost deadly quiet.
Everyone's face was not very good. Mu Cang was cold as ice, Yan Li was at ease, and Emperor Zhaocheng's eyebrows were full of anger.
Mu Wenxuan wanted to chop her to death with a palm, and Prince Yu and his wife were so angry that their faces were livid.
"Gu Anxian, do you know what kind of occasion this is?" Mu Wenxuan said coldly, "If you want to show off your eldest lady's temper, you can go back to the prime minister's house and don't put on airs here. How did the prime minister teach his daughter? ?”
Yan Li said calmly: "I didn't deliberately make things difficult for you today. It was you who asked for trouble. In that case, just kneel down like this. Whenever you are willing to call 'Nine Emperor Auntie', I will drink your tea again." "
After saying that, he actually relaxed his body and leaned back on the chair, looking like he was taking a short rest.
Mu Cang's expression was as cold as frost, and he was noncommittal about this.
Mu Wenxuan's hands hanging by his sides tightened little by little, trying to control his temper.
Damn bitch!
She felt that Prince Yu's death was not fast enough, so she embarrassed herself in front of the emperor.
He must teach her a lesson!
The atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Gu Anxian still didn't speak, her eyes were lowered as if she was deliberately going against someone.
"The legitimate daughter of the Gu family is really good. I have learned a lot today." Emperor Zhaocheng laughed angrily and slowly looked around, "I just said that the noble daughters of the family keep saying that Yan Li is a fake princess. It turns out that from the Gu family From the beginning, I really didn’t pay attention to the imperial power at all.”
"Father, calm down!" King Yu was startled and was the first to kneel down. "Cousin An Xian is probably just in a bad mood. She didn't mean to despise the imperial power. Please forgive me!"
