Chapter 953: Chapter 953-Sword Light and Sword Shadow

Ever since Emperor Yong Ping died, the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng had shut herself in on the grounds that she was pregnant. This time, Empress Dowager Xiao’s banquet was no exception.

Empress Dowager Xiao’s maiden family was not in Jiankang, and there were not many people she could win over. She could only rely on the Xie family, so she often used the name of a foreign woman to show mercy.

Consort Chu could not stand Empress Dowager Xiao’s natural advantage and used her strength to fight. Thus, she would occasionally cause trouble for Empress Dowager Xiao and make herself happy.

“.. Who didn’t have a few friends that they hadn’t seen for a few years?”Consort Chu said.

Everyone was speechless.

Although that was also the case, there were some people who got married and didn’t see each other for the rest of their lives. However, Chu Taifei obviously didn’t mean it that way. The sarcastic words were really cold.

“Don’t you agree, Imperial Consort Lu?”

She even mentioned the Emperor’s mother by name.

He wanted to quietly lower his presence? You have to see if your strength allows you to keep a low profile.

“Oh, I forgot. Lu Mei-Consort Lu is from Jizhou. She doesn’t have any relatives or friends in Jiankang City.”

It was an indistinguishable martial art.

Imperial Consort Lu had a good temper. No matter how Empress Dowager Xiao and Imperial Consort Chu lifted the drum, they would just smile and not say anything.

“Consort Dowager, why aren’t you saying anything?” Chu Jiuniang smiled.” You are the Emperor’s biological mother. No one in this room has the right to speak. You can say whatever you want. Don’t be restrained. You will appear petty and make a joke of yourself.””

Da You still thought that Imperial Consort Lu was still the little beauty who used to serve under him and that she was the one who guided the country.

Imperial Consort Lu looked at Empress Dowager Xiao and said shyly,

“I’m just a boring old man. It’s not that anyone doesn’t want me to say it.”Her voice was soft and pleasant to hear, but the accent was too strong. The others were confused and did not understand what she said.

“What old man?” Chu Taifei covered her mouth and laughed. How many times have I told you? Don’t speak in your dialect. No one understands.”

Empress Dowager Xiao frowned.” That’s enough, Imperial Consort Chu. Imperial Consort Lu is the son of the governor of Jizhou. It’s fine to have an accent.” Couldn’t he just ask a few more questions if he didn’t know?”

Chu Jiuniang’s face fell immediately.”What did I say? The Empress Dowager’s meaning is that we sisters can’t even joke around and have to follow the books and the Empress Dowager’s rules? The Empress Dowager was in charge of the heavens and earth, but not the sh * t and fart of others?”

Xiao Baoxin looked at the sky and the earth, but he did not look at the two people who were fighting.

She wasn’t a moralist, so she couldn’t control the harem.

It was not Xie Wan. If it was Chu Lingzi who was being bullied on the spot, she would have stepped forward. Empress Dowager Xiao, their friendship had long been expelled from the food they had eaten on the spot.

According to her, the two of them were idle. If they fought in front of so many people, would it be glorious to win?

Empress Dowager Xiao could no longer maintain her composure. Consort Chu was too shameless. She provoked her again and again, making things difficult for others.

Empress Dowager Xiao pulled a long face and was about to reprimand him when the eunuch shouted,” The Princess of South County has arrived!”

Recently, Empress Dowager Xiao had been on good terms with the Princess of South County. Empress Dowager Xiao had given the Princess of South County a lot of face and had given many rewards to the Chu family. This was because the Princess of South County had slapped Consort Chu in front of Emperor Yong Ping’s spirit. She was a godsent ally.

As a result, the Princess of South County was not on good terms with the second and third branch of the Chu family. Even Chu Yan had some complaints about this. Empress Dowager Xiao had repeatedly expressed her goodwill. After a few times, the Princess of South County became even closer to Empress Dowager Xiao. On the other hand, she was estranged from Consort Chu.

As expected, when she heard that the Princess of South County had arrived, Lady Chu’s face turned ugly and she shifted her body.

” I was wondering why you weren’t here yet.” Empress Dowager Xiao smiled at the Princess of South County.”Dear, I heard that you caught a cold. Are you feeling better recently?”

“Since you’ve caught a cold, you should stay away from Madam Xiao. After all, you’re pregnant, so you shouldn’t get sick.””

“Consort Dowager is thoughtful. It’s rare.” The Princess of South County glanced at Xiao Baoxin coldly. “But I’ve recovered from my illness a long time ago. I’ve disappointed Consort Dowager.”

The Princess of South County had never liked to join in the fun and had always been a loner. She was only able to enter the palace this time because Empress Dowager Xiao had invited her over and over again, just in case Consort Chu did not have someone to restrain her lawlessness.

Chu Yuanshi had arrived early, but she was a slippery one and did not offend either.

Be it the other wives of the Chu family or the daughters-in-law of the Chu family, they did not have the status or the right to mediate. They were also unwilling to get involved. They were like quails.

“That’s right. Recently, Consort Chu has grown up quite a bit. She’s not like the previous emperor who was still in power. She’s cute and worried now.”Empress Dowager Xiao smiled.

You came and I went, sword light and sword shadow.

Xiao Baoxin covered her mouth and yawned out of boredom. She knew that this kind of occasion was not suitable for her. It was extremely boring.

Fortunately, the banquet was about to start soon. They had changed the venue so that she had time to relax.

Consort Chu was not one to stop. She continued to bring up the past.”.. The Fifth Prince had grown up. According to the rules, when the Emperor ascended the throne, his brothers would also have to go to their fiefs. The Fifth Prince is still young, and as his biological mother, I will definitely follow him. There won’t be many chances to meet him in the future, and it’ll be one less time to meet him.”

Actually, she was not very willing to go to the fief.

Who would be willing to leave home if they could be the emperor?

However, the Chu family would not allow her to attack the emperor. Without the Chu family’s support, she could not do anything.

Compared to the two, she might as well take her son and go far away. The sky was high and the emperor was far away. She was happy and carefree. If they could rely on the Emperor to his death, then so be it. If they couldn’t rely on him to his death, they would have accumulated enough power in the outside world over the years to nurture a group of trusted aides.

“So, is the Fifth Prince older or younger?” Xiao Baoxin was puzzled.”

“I don’t have any other intentions. I’ve always been raising children at home and don’t know much about the outside world. How old is the Fifth Prince this year?”It was sometimes big and sometimes small. Was there such a flexible age?

Puff!

Chu Lingzi spat out a mouthful of plum wine and choked.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Empress Dowager Xiao was stunned for a moment before she could not help but smile.””Madam Xiao is outspoken. It’s indeed Consort Chu’s choice of words…The Fifth Prince was more than two years old this year, not even three years old. I think that the Fifth Prince is still young and will have to go to a fief in the future, but it’s so far away, his body may not be able to withstand the torment…”

“Empress Dowager, what do you mean? Are you cursing my son?” “My son is strong, not weaker than the fourth son of the emperor.”

The fourth son was the empress dowager’s biological son. He was suffocated to death by the blanket as soon as he was born.

The Empress Dowager was deeply stimulated and only recovered after half a year.

When Imperial Consort Chu mentioned this matter, she was undoubtedly stabbing a knife into Empress Dowager Xiao’s heart. Empress Dowager Xiao was furious and pushed the wine cup on the table.

“If you can talk, then say it. If you can’t, then shut your mouth. The women of the big festival are all here, and you’ve spoken rudely again and again. What do you want?”

“I know that you’re not the legitimate daughter of the Chu family. You didn’t have a legitimate mother to teach you since you were young, and your knowledge and self-restraint aren’t as good as the Chu family’s legitimate daughter. But since you entered the palace, gave birth to a prince, and became a consort, aren’t you taking into account your mother’s clan and the prince’s face?”

“If you continue to let it go, don’t blame me for not giving your Chu family face!”
