Rebirth is not a dream.
Chapter 160 Banquet
After the queen also rewarded Lu Anruo with some precious items and gifts, everyone congratulated Lu Anruo. At this time, the King of Beiyan looked at Su Yue and said coldly: "You are unlearned and incompetent." Although the voice was not loud, everyone present could hear it clearly.
Su Yue couldn't help but get angry. She looked at the King of the South and thought to herself, "This King of the South has never given me a good look since he came in, as if I were something poisonous and that one look at me would kill me. I can tolerate it once or twice, but it can't happen three times. I can never tolerate it again." So, she stood up, looked directly at the King of the South and said, "Does the King of the South have any problem with me?"
The Southern King responded without showing any weakness: "Aren't you unlearned and incompetent?"
Su Yue sneered: "Oh? My talent was not displayed and I failed to entertain you, so you are so dissatisfied? Aren't those musicians and actors enough to satisfy you? Do you still expect me to please you?"
Prince Li on the side quickly explained: "Princess Mingyue misunderstood, Fourth Brother did not mean that."
Su Yue insisted, "It's better not to have it."
However, the Southern King said provocatively again: "That's what I mean."
Li Wang hurriedly shouted: "Fourth brother!"
Su Yue angrily questioned King Nan: "What do you mean?"
Prince Nan sneered and said, "Princess Mingzhao is a talented woman from Da'an, but her daughter is just like this."
Su Yue was so angry that she trembled when she heard this. She widened her eyes and wanted to refute but didn't know how to start. The atmosphere around them became extremely tense.
Su Yue didn't expect that these people were coming for her mother! She couldn't help but feel angry and helpless. Her mother had always been a gentle, kind, and peaceful person. Why did she attract such great hatred? Was it just because of her identity?
Su Yue couldn't understand the malice those people had towards Princess Mingyue, nor did she understand why they were targeting her mother. Perhaps this was the cruel reality of the power struggle, but she was powerless to change anything. However, Su Yue couldn't accept the disrespect for a deceased person.
At this time, Prince Ding stood up and said, "Emperor An, shouldn't you also give us an explanation? How could my Queen of Northern Yan die in your Da'an?"
The emperor frowned. He originally thought that Beiyan would not mention the matter of Princess Mingzhao here, but now it seems that they are not going to miss this opportunity.
The emperor said in a deep voice: "I will naturally investigate this matter."
The Southern King sneered, "Humph! What else is there to investigate about a woman who abandoned her husband and children? It's obvious that you, Da'an, have no sense of shame."
Su Yue's face changed slightly after hearing this. She stood up, looked at King Nan coldly and said, "A woman would rather die than ask Bei Yan for help. Shouldn't we ask what Bei Yan did to her? She would rather die than come back!"
The Southern King's eyes widened and he angrily retorted, "She abandoned her husband and children herself. What does it have to do with us?"
Su Yue sneered, "How long has Princess Ming Zhao been missing from Beiyan? Eighteen years! Not ten days or half a month, not one or two years, but eighteen years! Such a long time is enough for her to be reincarnated. But why have you never come to inquire about her whereabouts in all these years?"
King Nan was choked by Su Yue's words and was speechless for a moment.
Prince Ding: "I have already sent a letter to your country, but your country has not received any news about Princess Ming Zhao."
Prince Nan: "Humph! That woman is simply shameless. She doesn't even go back to her own parents' home. What kind of princess is she?"
Su Yue: "Then what evil things did your father do that he couldn't even keep a woman, and you still have the nerve to come and question others."
King Nan: "Your mother is...didn't she elope with someone?"
Su Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at him, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Oh? What's wrong with my mother? Could it be that she would rather find a eunuch as a man than follow your father? Is it because your father is too unbearable or is there another reason?"
King Nan frowned and asked in confusion, "What eunuch?"
Su Yue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and said: "You don't even know that my father Su is a eunuch."
King Nan widened his eyes, looked at her in disbelief, and asked, "How do you know this?"
Su Yue smiled, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes, and said: "Didn't you grow up in the palace? Don't you know that eunuchs have a special smell? This smell, once you smell it, you will never forget it. And I have smelled this smell since I was a child, so I naturally know it."
Upon hearing this, King Nan's face turned very ugly and he was speechless for a while.
Su Yue raised a sarcastic smile, she stared at King Nan with cold eyes, and said: "Besides, as far as I know, my mother is not someone who abandons her husband and children. Back then, she just went back to Da'an to visit her relatives, but was hunted down. Where was your father at that time? I'm afraid he was in cahoots with the killer, right?"
Hearing this, King Nan's face turned pale in an instant, he widened his eyes and looked at Su Yue in disbelief. He retorted angrily: “You are talking nonsense!”
However, facing the rebuke from the Southern King, Su Yue did not back down. She straightened up, looked at him firmly, and responded fearlessly: "Ask your father whether I am talking nonsense or not."
At this time, the atmosphere on the field became extremely tense. Everyone was silent, quietly watching the development of the situation.
At this critical moment, the emperor suddenly stood up and shouted, "Enough! Let's not talk about this matter for now. Today is my welcome banquet, and you should celebrate. Don't argue over some trivial matters in the past."
The emperor's words were full of majesty and unquestionable power, which moved everyone present.
Prince Ding also quickly stepped forward to express his opinion. He saluted respectfully to the emperor and said, "Yes, I thank the emperor."
With the emperor's intervention, the tense situation was temporarily eased. Everyone turned their attention to the joyful atmosphere of the banquet, trying to forget the unpleasantness just now.
The banquet continued, but everyone's mood was no longer as relaxed and happy as it was at the beginning. Su Yue secretly vowed in her heart that she must find out the truth and clear her mother's name. The King of the South fell into deep thought. He began to doubt whether his view of Princess Ming Zhao was correct... But since he was a child, they said that his mother didn't want him anymore, so he hated Princess Ming Zhao...
