Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger
Chapter 98 The conspiracy begins
Meng Xueyun answered politely, "Yes."
"I heard you say your last name is Meng. Are you an old acquaintance of Princess Heng?"
"In reply to your aunt, I have lived in Prince Heng's mansion for many years, and Princess Heng is more than just an old acquaintance."
She deliberately left it blank, wanting everyone to guess what happened between her and Meng Yunshang, and also to make Meng Yunshang alert.
But Meng Yunshang didn't even raise her eyelids, as if she was an insignificant person.
Meng Xueyun gritted her teeth in anger.
"You two are now even closer relatives," Princess Shun'an looked at Meng Yunshang with a tone of being in charge of the overall situation.
"Yuan Jing is older than Chen Xiao. Princess Heng should call Xue Yun the emperor's sister-in-law."
As soon as Princess Shunan finished speaking, Meng Xueyun immediately changed her expression and looked at Meng Yunshang, the pride in her eyes unable to be concealed.
Meng Yunshang, you didn't expect that even if you sent me back to Xinyang, I could still find another way to return to the capital, and as the concubine of Prince Yu.
When Meng Xueyun thought that Meng Yunshang would have to call her the emperor's sister-in-law in the future, her mood became so happy that it could soar to the sky.
So he didn't notice the coldness that flashed across Meng Yunshang's eyes at all.
"It's definitely okay to call her the Emperor's sister-in-law, but I have two questions that I would like to ask Prince Yu and Aunt to answer."
Prince Yu had been looking at Meng Yunshang. He saw that she was stunningly beautiful, but her expression was cold and the heroic spirit lingering between her eyebrows made it easy to distinguish her from others.
Since she came to the garden, she has been sitting there calmly and calmly. Even when Princess Shunan embarrassed her in public, she did not get angry at all.
It was as if even the collapse of Mount Tai before her could not shake her.
Such a firm character is rare in women, but he happened to meet her, and this person is the Princess Heng whom Lu Chenxiao took the lead to marry home.
Tsk~
Lu Yuanjing retracted his gaze and said to Meng Yunshang in a contemptuous tone, "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just speak up. I will tell you everything I know."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Meng Xueyun into his arms without any hesitation, and even patted Meng Xueyun on the buttocks in public.
Meng Xueyun was slightly startled, but immediately hugged Lu Yuanjing's neck and looked at Meng Yunshang provocatively.
The two's bold action made Princess Shunan frown, but she didn't know what she was thinking and didn't say anything to stop them.
All the young men and women lowered their heads, fearing that they would see something they shouldn't see and get into trouble.
Only Meng Yunshang noticed their little actions with a dull look, and then sighed silently in her heart.
The late emperor was extraordinarily handsome, and the empress dowager's beauty when she was young was also world-famous, which attracted Lu Chenxiao, who had the best qualities of both of them, and was first-rate in appearance.
But compared to him, Lu Yuanjing, whose biological mother was just a palace maid, looked much worse.
If it weren't for his status as Prince of Yu, he might not be recognized at first glance even if he was thrown into a crowd.
After sighing enough, Meng Yunshang chuckled, "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask His Royal Highness Prince Yu, has Meng Xueyun's marriage in Xinyang been settled?"
"Then..." Meng Xueyun was so excited that she wanted to stand up and argue with Meng Yunshang on the spot, but Lu Yuanjing held her back.
"I have already sent people to investigate. Meng Lingkong was not promised a marriage to anyone. The couple who went to the Meng Mansion to recognize their relationship were bribed and deliberately ruined Yun'er's reputation."
Lu Yuanjing chuckled meaningfully, "Strangely enough, the couple never revealed who paid them until they died."
Meng Yunshang remained calm, "So that's how it is. Then it was I who misunderstood Meng Xueyun."
Meng Xueyun mistakenly thought that Meng Yunshang was weak and defeated, and her arrogance instantly rose, "Since you understand that you misunderstood me, you should now call me the emperor's sister-in-law!"
Meng Yunshang looked at Princess Shun'an and asked in a calm tone, "Aunt, do you agree with what Meng Xueyun said? Do you think I should respectfully address her as the Imperial Sister-in-law?"
"Although Xueyun's family is not as prominent as yours, since she has married Yuan Jing, she deserves to be called the emperor's sister-in-law."
"Then may I ask, aunt, what should I address you as when I meet Prince Yu's wife in the future?"
"This," Princess Shunan was a little stuck.
"Most of the noble ladies and gentlemen attending the banquet today are from the legitimate family. My aunt humiliated the wife of Prince Heng in front of them. Who would dare to come to the princess's mansion and humiliate themselves in the future?"
The reason why the noble families in the capital city highly praised the flower-viewing banquet at Princess Shun’an’s mansion was because every flower-viewing banquet could bring about several beautiful marriages.
This has become an unspoken agreement among everyone.
But if Princess Shunan is not distinguished between legitimate and illegitimate children, the significance of the flower-viewing banquet will be greatly weakened.
Princess Shunan obviously thought of this as well. She glared at Meng Yunshang with a sullen face, "How dare you!"
"This is not the only time I have been so unbridled today. Aunt, please bear with me and listen to me."
Meng Yunshang glanced around calmly and continued:
"In the Yuan Dynasty, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children has always been clear. A concubine is a concubine. My aunt asked me to publicly recognize a concubine as the emperor's sister-in-law. Where do you want to put the face of the royal family?"
Having risen to the level of the royal family, Princess Shunan could no longer sit still.
She slammed the table and yelled, "Meng Yunshang, that's enough!"
"I'm just telling the truth. Auntie wants Meng Xueyun to suppress me, but you have to see if she is a chess piece that you can use."
When families in Beijing hold banquets, they will draw up a list of names and send out invitations several days in advance, but she only received the invitation from Princess Shun'an's mansion yesterday.
Originally she couldn't understand why Princess Shun'an, with whom she had never had any contact, invited her to a banquet, but now she seemed to understand.
This flower-viewing banquet was prepared by Princess Shun'an to help Meng Xueyun settle down in the upper class circles of the capital.
At the birthday banquet at the Meng Mansion that day, many people witnessed Meng Xueyun's embarrassment. The aristocratic family had already excluded her from the candidates for daughter-in-law.
But she made a comeback under a different identity.
The concubine of Prince Yu is related to the royal family.
In addition, if Princess Heng calls her the emperor's sister-in-law in public, everyone in the capital will know in the future that even if Meng Xueyun is of humble origin, she is still the royal daughter-in-law who makes Princess Heng feel embarrassed and can always suppress her.
This is exactly what Meng Xueyun wanted.
It’s a pity that they still underestimated her, Meng Yunshang.
There was absolutely no way she would let Meng Xueyun step on her to climb up.
"Princess Heng is indeed a rare and extraordinary woman," Prince Yu curled his lips and smiled slightly, looking at Meng Yunshang with cold eyes.
Meng Yunshang had the illusion that she was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
He reached out and let go of Meng Xueyun, and said to Princess Shun'an, "Princess Heng is right. It doesn't matter if you don't call me sister-in-law."
Princess Shunan nodded, glanced at the whole room and ordered, "Since everyone is here, let's start the banquet."
At a command, the guests took their seats and the maids and servants came in one after another.
Meng Yunshang noticed with sharp eyes that Wen Liuli pulled Zuo Youran away, and she winked at Dan Qiu.
Dan Qiu understood immediately and stepped back, following the two of them.
Meng Xueyun took advantage of no one's attention and walked to Meng Yunshang.
