Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng
Chapter 268 Interlude
On the day of entertaining the Tatar envoys, the post station became busy early in the morning.
When Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian followed them to the inn, a lot of dishes had already been cooked.
General Xuanyuan brought the second prince, the ninth princess, the Prime Minister and others to the posthouse, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and officials were waiting at the door.
"Welcome to His Royal Highness the Second Prince and His Royal Highness the Ninth Princess!"
"Master Prime Minister, please come in, General Xuanyuan!"
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites respectfully invited them in.
"My lord please!"
The Prime Minister also spoke politely.
The two parties entered the inn together and went to the dining hall in the lobby, where ten tables had already been set up.
The women were on one side, the men on the other, with a screen in between.
Gao Zhijun and Liu Ningchu were on the stage, accompanied by Nanny Tian, Chunlan and Mo Xue.
Normally, servants are not allowed to go on stage at such a large banquet. They can only serve food to their masters on the side.
But who is Gao Zhijun? This is her territory, and she doesn't need to abide by these rules. Besides, at this banquet, she and her mother are the only women in the military camp, so we can't let them sit at the table, right?
How boring! They didn't want to compete with the Ninth Princess. Her arrogant look would make them unable to eat.
"The Ninth Princess has arrived!"
The maidservant beside the Ninth Princess shouted loudly.
Liu Ningchu was originally thinking about it but was stopped by Gao Zhijun. So what if she was a princess? She was not a princess of Daliang. Besides, they were a defeated country and were sent to marry. They didn't even know who they were sent to be the wife of. Why should they be so arrogant?
When the maid saw that Gao Zhijun and Liu Ningchu did not stand up to greet them, she became furious: "How dare you! You are so bold to not kneel before the princess."
"Who is bold? Who is presumptuous? Please recognize yourselves! This is Daliang, not your country of Tatar. You are a defeated country, and your princess was sent here as a gift. What's so arrogant about that? Moreover, you don't even know who your princess is going to marry? You dare to be so arrogant and domineering here. Believe it or not, if you offend me, I will let her marry a minister of lower status."
Gao Zhijun looked at the maid with a sneer, thinking she really overestimated her own abilities.
You don't even know who you are, yet you still want to act so arrogant here.
Who gave her the courage, who gave her the confidence.
The Ninth Princess' face turned black after being scolded by Gao Zhijun, and she really wanted to kill her.
This woman is her nemesis and embarrasses her everywhere.
Growing up, no one except her father and mother dared to give her a hard time.
The Queen and the Crown Prince were polite to her whenever they saw her. How dare they humiliate a little princess like her again and again?
Once I get the blueprints for the ten-shot crossbow and the recipe for the grenade, I will cut her into pieces to avenge today's humiliation.
The second prince and the prime minister also heard the quarrel here. Although they were angry, they also knew that they had to consider people's faces. Besides, they had the task assigned by their father (the emperor). If they failed, they would be demoted to commoners by their father (dismissed by the emperor).
"How dare you, a servant girl, be rude to the princess. Ninth sister, why don't you deal with that servant girl? Have you forgotten what father said?"
Before the Ninth Princess spoke, the Second Prince hinted to his father in both explicit and implicit ways, hoping that his sister would not do anything stupid.
Of course the Ninth Princess understood the hint from her Second Brother. She suppressed her anger and slapped the maidservant.
"How dare you, a servant girl, say that about the princess! You are courting death!"
The maid looked at the Ninth Princess in disbelief, not understanding why she was being beaten. Wasn't this what they always did?
"Princess, it's not that you want me to do this..."
Before he could finish the word "do", he was slapped again by the Ninth Princess. This time, the two sides were symmetrical, and he became a real pig's head.
Pighead - It's unfair! I don't look like this. I look pretty and cute, round and plump, that's natural, not swollen from being beaten.
"You're looking for death! How dare you wrongly accuse me? Drag her away and beat her to death!"
The Ninth Princess was afraid that the maid would reveal that it was her who instructed her to do this, and the people of Daliang would think that she was an arrogant and vicious person, and thus break the covenant and not let her marry to Daliang, so that she would not be able to get the blueprints of the Ten-Ball Crossbow and the recipe of the grenade. Then her father would not let her go, and it would even implicate her mother and her grandfather's family.
She knew that her father had no real feelings for him or her.
In his mind, his children were pawns that could be exchanged for the prosperity of the Tatar Kingdom. Even his most beloved daughter, he would send her to marry without hesitation, and also let her steal the blueprints and formulas.
If he couldn't steal her, she would no longer be his favorite daughter.
Just like her older sisters and brothers, all of them were sent to marry to help their father consolidate his position.
The emperor's brothers all married the daughters of ministers chosen by their father to help their father win over those ministers.
The only exception was the second prince. His maternal grandfather had a strong backing, so his father did not dare to touch him and allowed him to choose the woman he liked as his concubine.
She didn't know how envious she was, and that was why she had been trying to please her second brother, hoping that he could help her get it.
But she was destined to be disappointed, as her father did not give her any chance and directly sent her to Daliang to marry.
"Wait! She offended me, the princess. Shouldn't she be handed over to me for punishment?"
Gao Zhijun said to stop him.
Since the Ninth Princess wants to beat the maid to death, the maid must resent her, and this maid may be the breakthrough point.
"This, this is not necessary. She is my maid, so it is better for me to deal with her."
The Ninth Princess dared not hand this maid over to Gao Zhijun. This maid knew the purpose of her marriage. If she handed it over to the Princess, wouldn't it let the Princess know her purpose? This maid must die.
