Princess Lianchun suddenly looked toward Madam Li Xu, who was holding Xiaosuisui. Xiaosuisui leaned her little head against her shoulder!
Her gaze followed Princess Lianchunâs and fell on Madam Li Xu...
No, to be precise, it should have fallen on the girl next to Madam Li Xu, that is, the Li Familyâs young lady, Li Zhujun.
The person speaking just now was a young woman by Li Zhujunâs side. This woman was none other than Li Zhujunâs sister-in-law. Because of her illustrious family background, she had been spoiled since childhood, and thus, her mouth was never guarded. It was her secret speculation of her mother-in-lawâs thoughts that led her to disparage this commoner Princess while elevating the Li Familyâs little lucky star. Last time, her secret spreading of rumors that the Princess was a little calamity star was quite successful!
This Young Madam of the Li Family was extremely proud, but what she didnât know was the great trouble that the rumors she spread last time had caused!
The reason she was still able to attend the banquet at this moment was entirely because Madam Li had not yet investigated her involvement!
"Sister-in-law, donât speak nonsense. I feel that Li Suisui is very sinister. Her gaze has been fixed on me, as if she wants to see right through me!"
Li Zhujunâs words sparked a bit of anger in the young Madam of the Li Family.
"What are you afraid of?
Honestly, youâre quite fortunate. Youâre only two or three years younger than me, yet you have the opportunity to enter the palace to serve. All this is for you.
I heard that before Princess Lianchun left the palace, her relationship with His Majesty the Emperor was very good. Today is such a good opportunity. If our Li Family can establish a good relationship with her, your future entry into the palace will be as simple as a word from her."
The young Madam of the Li Family spoke with an acid tone.
In her view, countless women in the world want to soar and become a phoenix overnight.
She was no different!
However, unfortunately for her, though her timing was right, His Majesty was reluctant to fill the harem, so her parents, watching her age increase, had no choice but to marry her to the rising Li Family in the court!
It is said that in the Li Family, Official Li is likely to become the Chancellor in the future!
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? Serving in the palace is naturally the business of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager. The Princess hasnât even left the court, how could she interfere in such matters!
Moreover, sister-in-law, you are merely a new bride of our Li Family. You havenât even sorted out the Li Familyâs matters, so donât meddle rashly. Do you know that my father is secretly investigating who spread the rumors about Chang Rongshun and the Princess being calamity stars?"
"What... what do you mean?"
The complexion of the young Madam of the Li Family couldnât hold up, and her voice was a few degrees sharper!
"What happened? This little Madam, I was having a conversation with this young lady, and you had no part in it. Yet you interjected.
Not only did I not understand a word you said, now that you have spoken, youâve gone silent.
What is it? Do you think that because I have been away from the capital for many years, you assume the royal dignity can be infringed upon by just any ordinary person?"
The Princessâs voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.
Everyone was scared and trembling.
Holding Xie PanâErâs hand, PanâErâs mother plucked up her courage to walk up to Princess Lianchun, only to suddenly feel weak, prompting Xie PanâEr to quickly lend a hand to support her, whispering, "Are you okay?"
PanâErâs mother, borrowing her daughterâs strength, steadied herself and continued to calmly walk towards Princess Lianchun.
Since things have gone awry, she could hardly be blamed.
Meanwhile, the young Madam of the Li Family bit her tongue, considering that this was a true royal Princess, unlike the Ji Familyâs commoner Princess!
If she could seize this opportunity to change the Princessâs impression of her, she could establish a connection with Princess Lianchun.
With that thought in mind, the young Madam of the Li Family summoned her courage and approached Princess Lianchun.
When she encountered Xie PanâEr and her mother, she bumped forcefully into Xie PanâEr!
Seeing this scene, Princess Lianchun squinted her eyes slightly but said nothing!
