A dream ends life

Princess Changle didn't expect that Su Ci, a village woman, could be so arrogant and dare to use Yu Luohan to suppress her.

As the empress dowager, Wu Peiyi had an unclear relationship with Yu Luohan, a foreign official. Rumors had already spread about this. She no longer had her brother to rely on, so she didn't dare to do anything to them. But what could she do to a village woman?

Princess Changle felt that she had behaved in a very disgraceful way as a princess and was so angry that she was shaking with anger.

"Someone, come and beat this princess!"

The two palace maids following behind him came forward one after another.

Neither of them was as strong as Mei Yipin and they were slapped several times in a few breaths. After all, they were in the palace, so they had to be careful when fighting.

He patted his chubby hands and blinked at Su Ci.

Su Ci gave her a look that said "well done". Although this stuff is a bit expensive, there is a reason for its high price!

Mei Yizhin smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed and her eyes were invisible, and she looked around the palace secretly.

Leaving Princess Changle in shock, the two followed the eunuch who led the way inside.

When passing by the Imperial Garden, I saw a flower tent specially built for the palace banquet. It was open on all sides, and the supporting pillars were wrapped in gauze and decorated with half-person-high flowers. It was magnificent and gave me a feeling of being in a fairyland.

In the middle stood a bright yellow dragon throne and a desk. On both sides below the dragon throne were long tables that were estimated to be more than twenty meters long.

I sighed in my heart, Wu Peiyi has lost even her dignity for money.

Only officials of the third rank and above are eligible to enter the court of Dongyong State. This palace banquet invites officials of the fourth rank and above and their families. This is the rhythm of squeezing out all the money in Shangjing City!

She is the queen mother of a country and the most honorable woman in Dongyong, but she is too short-sighted.

The young emperor has just ascended the throne and hasn't even had time to sit on the throne, but he wants to draw blood from these old foxes who have been in the court for decades. What a thoughtful idea!

Yu Luohan actually agreed. Has his IQ been squeezed out by love?

No, he was not stupid, but he was fearless and Su Ci almost forgot about himself.

Yu Luohan's journey had been so smooth. She had been silently giving behind him, which had long given him the illusion that it should have been this way. He never thought that she would say no!

With all sorts of thoughts in my mind, I arrived at Ci'an Palace.

The head palace maid led her inside. There were already many ladies sitting in the hall talking.

Wu Peiyi sat in the middle, wearing a complicated bright red palace dress, with a crown and hairpins on her head, which was full of precious and rare jewels. With her outstanding face, she looked extremely expensive from a distance.

When he saw her enter the palace, his eyes flashed, and then a dignified smile appeared on his face.

Without waiting for Su Ci to greet him, he said, "Madam Su is finally here. She made us wait so long."

As soon as these words were spoken, the ladies sitting there looked at Su Ci with dissatisfaction in their eyes.

This Su came later than them, and she wanted these ladies of noble birth to wait for her, a village woman. Is she trying to step on them to elevate herself?

Su Ci said nothing, but bowed as usual, then stood up and said, "You are joking, Queen Mother. Today is a palace banquet, and all officials and their families are invited. Could it be that everyone is waiting for me?"

Wu Peiyi's face froze, and the ladies sitting there were also stunned. They looked at each other, then came to their senses and glanced at Wu Peiyi inconspicuously.

The atmosphere at the scene became silent because of Su Ci, and it was only then that the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery spoke with a smile.

"I heard that Madam Su is an extraordinary woman. Seeing her today, it turns out that the rumors are true. Madam Su is indeed from a famous family."

There seemed to be a faint sound of gasps in the room. The words of the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery not only failed to break the silent atmosphere, but the tension became increasingly strong.

Everyone knows that Su Ci is an orphan with no family background and no one knows where she comes from. The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is here to find trouble for her daughter.

Wu Peiyi and the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery smiled at each other. Both mother and daughter looked natural, as if the previous words did not come from their mouths.

Some of the ladies picked up their teacups and sipped them slowly; some raised their hands to adjust their hair; and some looked straight ahead with smiles in their eyes.

Those who looked down on Su Ci were gloating over her misfortune, while those who sympathized with Su Ci lowered their eyes and ignored the scene in front of them.

Be prudent and protect yourself, and don't stand under a dangerous wall. These two points are what make them thrive in Shangjing City.

Su Ci took in the expressions of everyone present, lowered his head, brushed his sleeves with his hands, and slowly spoke.

"Madam Hou is too modest. Madam Hou is a remarkable woman, so she thinks everyone is a remarkable woman. In front of Madam Hou, I dare not use the word "remarkable" to describe myself. After all, I don't have any sisters in my family who have such a good relationship that they can exchange husbands!"

hiss~

Ladies: I want to escape, but I can’t!

It's not that Su Ci came late, it's that they came too early. Why did they have to sit here and watch these three people fight? If they had known earlier, they would rather stay at home and not go out!

"you!"

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery turned pale and pointed at Su Ci angrily.

If you look closely you can see her body trembling slightly.

Su Ci smiled knowingly, found a seat and sat down, holding the teacup lid on the table with his fingers, fiddling with it casually.

Mei Yizhin walked behind her, stood properly, and admired the micro-expressions of these people with squinted eyes.

Quiet, absolutely quiet!

Wu Peiyi didn't understand what was going on, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw her mother in panic.

Could it be that Su Ci wouldn't have any evidence against her mother?

At this moment, Princess Changle's voice came.

"What happened?" Princess Changle walked in with a normal expression.

Behind him followed two ladies from the wives of officials. Both of them were about fifteen or sixteen years old. One wore a light yellow gauze skirt, sweet and lovely; the other wore a light purple soft smoke silk skirt, bright and elegant.

Su Ci raised her eyebrows. Princess Changle's self-healing ability was quite strong. There was no sign of being rubbed by her at all.

All the ladies in the room stood up and greeted her, and for a moment the tension in the room was no longer so tense.

This time, the ladies of honor all showed their social skills. They chatted and laughed about everything from poetry and songs to the philosophy of life.

With everyone trying to harmonize the atmosphere, there was harmony in Ci'an Palace.

People all prayed in their hearts at the same time, let the palace banquet start quickly!

They were in Ci'an Palace, feeling very uncomfortable. It was the Queen Mother's bedroom, and it was clearly a Shura field.

Wu Peiyi, the instigator, did not dare to go too far with Su Ci, after all, Gong Yanshang still needed her.

Just now she really just wanted to ridicule Su Ci and step on her, she didn't intend to do anything to her.

She didn't expect Su Ci to be so sharp-tongued, but for the sake of the next big thing, she endured it.

It won’t be too late to deal with this bitch after the palace banquet. I hope she will still be so aggressive by then!

Su Ci sat there and no one paid any attention to her.

Everyone seemed busy, except her, who was sitting alone in the corner, daydreaming.

Suddenly she felt some pain in her shoulder, and when she turned around she saw Mei Yizhi winking at her!
