Chapter 135: Failure of the Pie
"Meet Princess Anping."
Ye Jinshu was sure that she saw the malice of these two people. After all, the provocation in their eyes was almost becoming reality. Even if she was dull, she could clearly feel the discomfort caused by those eyes falling on her.
Ye Jinshu had never seen the two people in front of her before, but that didn't stop her from having an extremely bad impression of them the first time she met them.
She became even angrier because the two men seemed to be bowing to her respectfully but were too lazy to even bend their legs.
She deliberately did not respond to the two men's greetings and pretended not to hear them, wanting to see how long these two people could endure.
The place they were in now was not a remote place, and all the people coming and going were people attending the banquet.
Most of them were court officials with their families, and they would not wander around randomly.
Even though the male and female guests walked in two different paths, it was the first time that Ye Jinshu had seen two people like the one in front of him who dared to bite people without any elders around them.
In her previous lives, even if she was provoked, she would only be stabbed softly at a banquet, and would never be humiliated by anyone in public.
Ye Jinshu was still thinking about how to let the two people in front of him know that they had offended the wrong people, when Xiao Cui said considerately, "Princess, these two are the daughters of the Tongzhengshi family."
The first sentence was said in a low voice, mainly to tell Ye Jinshu who the two people were. But after saying this, Xiao Cui's voice suddenly became louder: "Princess, these two young ladies must be entering the palace for the first time. They don't know the rules. Please allow me to teach them the rules of the palace!"
Xiao Cui had a loud voice, and as soon as she sang, all the guests who had not looked over here looked over here.
Especially those young ladies who loved to watch the fun slowed down their pace. Although no one looked at Ye Jinshu seriously, everyone was actually watching secretly.
Ye Jinshu suddenly remembered what Jiang Sisi said. With Xiao Cui around, there was no way she could look weak.
It really is.
But when Ye Jinshu looked at the two people in front of him, he felt that something was strange, especially after Xiao Cui said those things, it seemed even stranger.
There is something fishy about the behavior of these two people.
In the past, if someone was disrespectful to them, after hearing what Xiao Cui said, they would either be unconvinced or afraid. These two people were weak and acted as if they had been wronged, which seemed to be a tactic often used by Ye Ruoyan.
However, Ye Ruoyan would only use this trick when the prince was around. These two people are now looking so aggrieved. Is there someone around them who can make the decision for them?
"Xiao Cui, come here first." Ye Jinshu called Xiao Cui, who was about to go forward to fight, and walked in front of the two of them.
Ye Jinshu was slightly shorter than the other two young ladies from official families. Normally, people of lower status than her should have bowed their heads in such circumstances, but the two people in front of her did not do so.
He clearly showed no respect to her physically, but he was still saying fearfully, "My sister and I are indeed entering the palace for the first time. I don't know how I have offended the princess. Please forgive me."
Ye Jinshu knew that if she followed their wishes and attacked them at this time, she would fall into a trap. However, if she was asked to put on an act like these two people, she couldn't do it.
To put it bluntly, she doesn't have Jiang Sisi's brains. Even if she understands that there is a trap, or even knows what they want to do, the decision she makes may not be satisfactory.
If that's the case, then she shouldn't make a decision.
Rush directly.
Looking at the bright side, as long as she teaches the two people in front of her a lesson, she will know what they are up to, and she won't have to guess anymore. After realizing the truth of the world in a very short time, Ye Jinshu asked, "Who are you trying to show off to by deliberately coming here to make me unhappy?"
As soon as Ye Jinshu said this, everyone around him pricked up their ears instantly.
The two people in front of him were stunned, and soon one of them reacted and quickly replied: "The princess must have misunderstood something, we didn't..."
"Xiao Cui, slap your mouth."
"Yes! Princess!" Xiao Cui didn't hesitate at all. Without waiting for the person in front of her to finish speaking, she raised her hand and slapped him in the face.
The crisp sound of applause instantly made all the original sounds in the venue disappear. Ye Jinshu could feel that all eyes were instantly focused on her, but she didn't care.
Let them watch if they want to.
The two who were beaten were stunned for only a moment, then they reacted immediately and said in a cold voice: "Princess Anping, no matter what, we are the family of court officials today, and we are invited to the palace to attend the banquet. You are overstepping your boundaries by teaching them a lesson without knowing the truth."
Ye Jinshu rolled her eyes in front of everyone without disguising, "I can't learn how you secretly trip up others and pretend to be a good person on the surface. I don't want to waste time talking to you. I'll just say one thing, there are so many courtiers and their families who have grievances with me, but I didn't bother them. Why did I only bother you? Look for the reasons in yourself. Xiao Cui, keep slapping me."
Xiao Cui let out a cry and was about to continue fighting, but this time she was stopped by someone.
"Princess Anping, today is a palace banquet, why make it so awkward?"
"She deliberately made me unhappy, didn't she just want me to embarrass her? If you help her, does that mean you are plotting against me together with her?"
The person who was about to speak wanted to say something after hearing Ye Jinshu's words, but swallowed his words.
"If you don't want to be beaten together, don't say anything. Xiao Cui, do it."
Ye Jinshu has been domineering in the palace for so many years, it is impossible for him to go out with only Xiao Cui, a palace maid.
For example, now, when Xiao Cui takes action, the other palace servants in Anping Palace are responsible for making room for Xiao Cui to teach people a lesson in peace.
According to convention, family members coming to the palace were not allowed to bring slaves into the palace, which made it easier for Xiao Cui to teach people a lesson.
The young ladies from wealthy families were not as strong as the palace maids who worked regularly, so naturally they were no match for them.
Ye Jinshu deliberately cordoned off an area not far from the banquet to act domineeringly. The palace servants around him saw that they could not stop Ye Jinshu by themselves, so they could only quickly report the matter to the Queen.
The queen arrived very quickly. Her face was not very good when she came. Everyone who had been watching nearby thought that something must have happened to Ye Jinshu this time. Such a thing happened during the visit of such a big country. Maybe even the prince of Dongming would have to reconsider whether to marry Ye Jinshu.
But what no one expected was that the Queen did come with a lot of anger, but the ones who bore the Queen's wrath were not Ye Jinshu, but the families of the two court officials who had displeased Ye Jinshu.
"See the Queen."
Everyone was still paying their respects to the Queen, except Ye Jinshu, who was immediately helped up by the Queen after paying his respects, which was enough to show the Queen's love for Ye Jinshu.
Ye Jinshu got up and started to complain: "Aunt, these two people just pretended to be polite while looking at me with rude eyes."
