Chapter 398: I’ll Just Watch the Show

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Yang Yeqi recovered her senses, a ruthless expression quickly flitted across her face before she said, “Hurry up and invite the Empress Dowager and Consort Mu over!”

Yang Yeqi admired the Seventh Prince, and the Sixth Princess was the Seventh Prince’s sister. Needless to say, she was on the Sixth Princess’ side.

With this, a few noble ladies quickly left with their maidservants in tow.

‘That’s right. We can’t afford to provoke the Eldest Princess, but we can’t afford to provoke the Sixth Princess as well!’

‘Consort Mu dotes on the Sixth Princess so much. If anything were to happen to her, we wouldn’t be able to escape the blame as well!’

The courtyards were all rather close to each other so it did not take long before a group of people came to the courtyard.

“What happened, Eldest Princess?”

Duchess Yu and Duchess Ying of Duke Yu’s Residence and Duke Ying’s Residence were among the group of people.

A girl and a young man stood behind Duchess Yu. The young woman’s face was slightly round, and her hair was tied up into two buns. She wore bells on her wrist, and they jingled when she moved. However, the sound was not annoying.

As for the young man, he looked a few years older than the young woman, but he looked a little weak. Nonetheless, his face was exquisite. He was even more beautiful than ordinary women.

Yu Yunxi said guiltily, “Duchesses, it’s nothing serious. Don’t worry. By the way, we agreed to come to the temple together, but I…”

Duchess Yu quickly said in a gentle tone, “It’s not your fault, Eldest Princess.

It’s my useless grandson’s fault. I already told him that we needed to go to the King of Zhenbei’s Residence in the morning, but he overslept. He almost caused us to be late…”

As she spoke, Duchess Yu glared at Yu Zhen, her grandson. If it was not for him, they would have picked Yu Yunxi up.

Yu Yunxi looked over and met Yu Zhen’s eyes. However, as soon as their eyes met, he scoffed and looked away arrogantly.

Yu Yunxi:

‘This is our first meeting, right? What’s with the attitude?’

Yu Yunxi naturally knew the other party was Duke Yu’s only biological grandson.

Duke Yu’s Residence had very few heirs. Most of the descendants were female, and there were very few male descendants. Initially, when the family saw that there were only female descendants in the current generation of the Yu family, they assumed that there would be no one left to carry on the family name. As such, they adopted a godson to raise as their legitimate son.

However, unexpectedly, Yu Zhen was born ten years later. As the only biological grandson of Duke Yu, one could imagine how noble his status was at home. Everyone doted on him and spoiled him so he grew up becoming rather unruly.

Due to Yu Zhen’s personality, everyone in the capital liked to say that Duke Yu’s Residence had been a noble family for hundreds of years and conducted themselves perfectly, but Yu Zhen was a stain on their family.

Seeing Yu Zhen’s attitude, Duchess Yu said reproachfully in a low voice, “You brat, why aren’t you bowing to the Eldest Princess?”

However, Yu Zhen acted as though he did not hear his grandmother and continued to ignore Yu Yunxi.

With such an obvious attitude, Yu Yunxi could naturally see that Yu Zhen disliked her.

Suddenly, the girl standing at the side bowed obediently to Yu Yunxi and said,

“Yu Ting greets the Eldest Princess.”

‘At least there are still sensible people in the family…’

Duchess Yu sighed in relief when she saw how obedient Yu Ting was. Then, she hurriedly said, “Eldest Princess, this is my youngest granddaughter.”

Yu Yunxi smiled at the girl and nodded.

At this time, Duchess Ying could not help but ask worriedly, “Eldest Princess, what happened between you and the Sixth Princess?”

Duchess Ying knew that the Emperor Emeritus did not come to the Temple of

Eternal Peace. If Yu Yunxi got into a fight with Chu Zhihe now, the Empress Dowager and the others would definitely support Chu Zhihe. There was no doubt that Yu Yunxi would be at a disadvantage at that time.

“That’s right. Tell us what happened, Eldest Princess. We’ll help you plead with the Empress Dowager later,” Duchess Yu said solemnly.

Although the two Duchesses did not think they were very influential, they wanted to help as much as they could.

Yu Yunxi’s heart felt warm when she heard the two Duchesses’ words. They were Duchesses, the legitimate wives of Duke Ying and Duke Yu, so they had the right to speak in front of the Empress Dowager, but if they stood up for her, they would inevitably arouse the Empress Dowager’s anger. Clearly, they knew the consequences, but they were still willing to help her. She would remember their kindness.

Meanwhile, without waiting for Yu Yunxi to speak, Chu Zhihe ran over to

Duchess Ying’s side. With tears in her eyes, she complained, looking aggrieved, 𝙛𝙧𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝓶

“Duchess Ying, my cousin sister is so vicious. She actually broke my finger!”

Then, Chu Zhihe glanced to the side before she asked softly, “Is Brother

Jingtong not here?”

Duchess Ying frowned and said flatly, “Recently, the number of refugees outside the city suddenly increased. Jingtong has gone to deal with this matter.”

Chu Zhihe felt very unhappy when she heard this. She had deliberately dressed up today, thinking she would be able to meet Ying Jingtong. Moreover, she even planned to use the fact that her finger was broken by Yu Yunxi to garner sympathy from him.

‘Brother Jingtong didn’t come? Damn it! What’s the point of all this then? Forget it. For now, let’s just concentrate on dealing with that b*tch, Yu Yunxi!’ f(r)eeweb(n)ovel

When Chu Zhihe turned to glare at Yu Yunxi, she felt the pain in her finger intensify.

While Chu Zhihe glared at Yu Yunxi resentfully, Yu Yunxi recalled what she had heard about Ying Jingtong. After all, it was obvious to her that Chu Zhihe admired Ying Jingtong.

The eldest young master of the Ying family, Ying Jingtong, was a model for all the young masters in the capital. When he was only a little over ten years old, he had already read many books and was knowledgeable in poetry. When he was a little older, he even helped his father and advised the Emperor. At the age of 19, he became a top scholar in civil and military affairs and was now a general.

Unsurprisingly, such a person was the object of admiration of the women in the capital.

At this moment..

“Zhihe, what happened?” Consort Mu asked anxiously.

Immediately after that, everyone saw a finely dressed figure running toward Chu Zhihe.

“Mother!”

Seeing her mother, Chu Zhihe began to cry, looking extremely pitiful.

It did not take long before the courtyard was crowded with people.

The Empress Dowager looked at Yu Yunxi and said in disgust, “Yu Yunxi, you’re really bold. You actually stirred up trouble again. As expected of someone who was raised outside. You only know how to cause trouble and embarrass the imperial family.”

Everyone held their breaths. They did not expect the Empress Dowager would embarrass Yu Yunxi so directly.

‘It seems like the rumors of the Empress Dowager hating Princess Changning and her daughter are true…’

Meanwhile, after the Empress Dowager berated Yu Yunxi, Empress Qin stood at the side and pursed her lips. It was difficult to tell if she intended to help Yu Yunxi or not. She was still calculating Yu Yunxi’s value in her heart at this moment.

If the person Yu Yunxi provoked were the Emperor, not the Empress Dowager; she would not hesitate to speak up for Yu Yunxi. Moreover, she also recalled how the Emperor Emeritus had punished Yu Yunxi to kneel, which made her question Yu Yunxi’s weight in the Emperor Emeritus’ heart.

‘Forget it.. I’ll just watch the show for now…’
