The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 212
Women have their own groups. Before the official banquet began, and the emperor had not yet entered the venue, they would be riding somewhere to talk. In addition to establishing social relations with fellow wives the officials and looking for a way for their husbands career. But what they do most often is that they will gossip and talk about things that are going on in the capital.
Since the banquet was to be held in an open space and a little dark at night, they gathered around a brightly lit bonfire in the middle of the area. Occasionally a muffled sound of laughter will be heard from behind the folding kips they use to cover their mouths. Not infrequently they will whisper in the ears of other women to gossip with each other.
At the moment the eunuch announced the arrival of Xian Zi Xuan and Xian Mu Xuan loudly, the, these women instantly stopped their nonsense and looked enthusiastically at the two people who entered the venue so elegantly. moreover, Xian Zi Xuan who had the aura of a domineering leader would not be easily ignored. Although Xian Zi Xuan appeared domineering, Xian Mu Xuan who walked gracefully behind him did not lose his shine in the slightest. Especially with the last impression these women had of Xian Mu Xuan being herded by madam Feng. Who had always mentioned Xian Mu Xuan's services fiery and full of adoration.
"Don't you feel like Princess Shixian's master is amazing?" Shen Li swept his gaze at these women. Shen Li was the wife of an important minister in the palace, so naturally these women would pay more attention to her than most others, the women will focus their attention on him. Then one by one will give their responses which are definitely support. With her husband's important position, no one would dare to go against her.
"His a pity that the Shao Empire has had a Crown Princess. Otherwise it would be very good if this lord of Shixian utri would become the future Queen of Shao. Didn't we?" Shen Li shook his head as if he felt so depressed and aggrieved. Then looked at the women gathered around him with gazes asking for approval.
But the matter that Shen Li raised this time around was not a simple matter. How could those who were only the wives of lowly officials have the qualifications to participate in assessing the eligibility of family members. Even the Crown Princess who has been officially recognized and appointed? At this stage they prefer not to participate in the fun.
On one side Shen Li used to gather with them and on the other was Lu Jing Yu who was the Crown Princess who was however a member of the royal family who would automatically gain support from the palace plus the support of Pei Zhang Xi who was very fond of his wife. They didn't need to think twice about standing on Lu Jing Yu's side and fighting Shen Li this time around.
"Mrs Feng, Shixian's daughter was indeed instrumental in saving your daughter. However, with this alone could not determine if she was worthy of being the Crown Princess, let alone to replace Her Highness the Crown Princess." A woman with thick makeup spoke. He had not liked Shen Li for a long time.
"I do support Princess Shixian. But not just because he saved my daughter. But because Princess Shixian was more worthy. After all, Princess Shixian had the bloodline of an Emperor. Perhaps Madam Di who was from an ordinary folk was unable to tell the difference. But I come from the Shen residence and understand this well. The descendants of the Emperor were certainly different from the society at large. This was because they had a temperament that only a noble girl had since they were born. I guess only a girl like that is worthy of being the Crown Princess and being the honorable and role model of every woman."
Shen Li was not usually fought and defeated. He speaks well. Never thought if what he said would turn against him in the end. Even he still had time to insult the woman called Madame Di by reminding her of her origin because Madam Di did not come from a noble family and only ordinary people had the fortune of being favored by a Scholar and married so that his status in the community also rose significantly.
"Oh so what does Lady Feng mean is that only the descendants of the Emperor are entitled to be respected women and role models? Whereas a woman who does not have an Emperor bloodline has no right to be respected? Wouldn't that be tantamount to saying if Miss Feng didn't even deserve the respect given that she was only the daughter of a minister if the Crown Princess who was even the daughter of the esteemed Prime Minister Lu wasn't worthy?" Madam Di raised her chin high with a clear sneer on her face.
Hearing what Madam Di said, Shen Li's face immediately distorted. His face was black and ugly. He looked at Madame Di sharply with a thick killing intent.
"You! You must have done it on purpose, right?" Shouted Shen Li furiously. He could barely contain his anger and exploded on the spot. But he could still hold back and just grit his teeth to ease his anger.
"What's? Don't you think that only the descendants of His Majesty the Emperor are entitled to honor, not even His Highness the Crown Princess? Why are you angry if people don't respect your Princess?"
"Why bring my daughter? I'm just saying that Princess Shixian deserves better! It had nothing to do with my daughter from the beginning. You're Madame Di whose village has no right to demean my daughter at all."
"Oh... So what qualities make Lady Feng have the right to disrespect my wife who is the Crown Princess?" Everyone immediately stood up straight. Shen Li felt his cold back and aching head when he heard a low but intimidating voice.
