After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

Chapter 30: Respect and hierarchy should not be confused

The next morning, Nanny Wu came to ask Chu Qinghuang whether she wanted to go to the Feng family for the banquet. Chu Qinghuang pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Go."

"Yes." Nanny Wu accepted the order respectfully, "I will ask someone to prepare it now."

Chu Qinghuang sat in front of the window, thinking quietly.

Although Feng Wanyue probably held this flower-viewing banquet for her elder brother, there should be many noble ladies invited to go. After all, Feng Wanyue is the daughter of the prime minister, and her banquet is naturally attended by many women from official families. Most of these women are known to be dignified and elegant, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and their words and deeds are very consistent with the style of ladies from noble families. They don't swing their skirts when walking and don't show their teeth when smiling.

It can be seen from this that for Chu Qinghuang, a princess with a bad reputation and nothing to show except martial arts and status, the noble ladies of the aristocratic families are disdainful from the bottom of their hearts.

Of course, disdain is disdain, but it is also true that they are afraid of Chu Qinghuang.

So today's banquet should be very interesting.

Chu Qinghuang thought so and got up to change her clothes.

A fitted bright red waisted long skirt outlined her slender figure. The dark patterns on the skirt were gorgeous and noble. The cuffs and hem were embroidered with phoenixes with wings spread in gold thread. The whole dress was not too extravagant, but it exuded a nobleness that could not be ignored.

Her waist was so thin that it could not be grasped, but she was not delicate at all. Instead, she was a capable and neat beauty. The color at the corner of her eyes was cold and her face was gorgeous. She was not as violent and impetuous as before, but had an indescribable temperament.

Fu Cang looked at her silently, and he became more and more determined that the prince was really different from before. It was like a different person from the inside out, which made him feel at ease.

He walked out of the gate of the princess's mansion and got on the carriage to the Feng family.

When he arrived outside the gate of the Feng family, Chu Qinghuang found that there were not many people outside the gate... Except for the servants of the Feng family, there were no other noble ladies coming in and out.

Chu Qinghuang didn't say anything and got off the carriage.

With a cry of "The Princess has arrived——", the servants in front of the Feng family knelt down one after another. Madam Feng, Feng Wanyue, and the maids of the Feng family respectfully welcomed the Princess in the middle courtyard.

After walking through the wide front yard and arriving at the middle courtyard, Jinlan saw the respectful attitude of Madam Feng and her daughter in the yard, and reminded coldly: "Your Highness has been canonized as the Princess, and the title and status are equal to the Queen. Wherever you go, the subjects must pay homage with great ceremony. Madam Feng, do you not know the rules, or are you deliberately neglecting it?"

The voice fell, like a cold wind blowing in the face.

Madam Feng's face changed, and she was about to reprimand Jinlan for taking advantage of the power of others, but her eyes met Chu Qinghuang's cold eyes, and she felt cold all over her body in an instant. Thinking of the suffering Jinzhi had suffered in the Princess's Mansion in the past two days, she gritted her teeth and cursed Chu Qinghuang in her heart, thinking that she was barely pretending?

Didn't she call her mother every time she came to the Feng family before? She started to put on airs just after she was canonized as the Princess?

Madam Feng said coldly: "I am talking to His Highness, is it your turn as a servant to interrupt?"

Jinlan frowned: "Madam Feng, what you said is right. If I were someone else's servant, I would never dare to interrupt Madam Feng. But Madam Feng's address is wrong, the etiquette is wrong, and the rules are neglected. As the servant of the eldest princess, I have the responsibility to remind Madam Feng. Do you think that the maid is wrong?"

Madam Feng's face changed, but her eyes were looking at Chu Qinghuang, forcing herself to show a kind smile: "Qinghuang, you used to be the closest to me. Every time you come to the Feng family, I treat you as my own daughter..."

"The hierarchy should not be messed up." Chu Qinghuang said in a light tone, "Madam Feng does not need to try to get close to me."

Madam Feng's expression froze, and she almost bit her gums to pieces. If this woman was her daughter-in-law...

If she was just an ordinary noble lady from an aristocratic family, the daughter-in-law that Jinzhi married into the family, she would definitely teach her the rules of respecting her mother-in-law!

Madam Feng was filled with hatred, but she dared not show any disrespect on her face. She froze for a moment, and then obediently followed the rules of a court lady to pay respect to the princess.

Feng Wanyue naturally did not dare to be arrogant, and immediately followed and performed the ceremony respectfully.

"No need to be polite." Chu Qinghuang walked inside.

Today was a banquet for the women, and Prime Minister Feng had not returned from court. The guards on duty in the mansion were all kneeling at their posts, and no man dared to take the initiative to step forward - except for Fu Cang who was following Chu Qinghuang.

After Feng Wanyue stood up, she quickly followed Chu Qinghuang and said, "Your Highness, my elder brother..."

"He won't die." Chu Qinghuang said indifferently, "After a few days, when his injuries are better, you can go and bring him back."

Feng Wanyue choked: "Bring him back?"

"What?" Chu Qinghuang tilted her head to look at her, "Didn't Chu Yiling tell you that I want to divorce Feng Jin?"

Feng Wanyue's face changed slightly, and she forced a smile and said, "Your Highness...Your Highness, are you joking? My elder brother and your Highness are a couple who have worshipped heaven and earth, how...how can you divorce her husband? ? "

"There are many families of officials and common people who divorce their wives and marry new ones. Why can't I divorce Feng Jinzhi?" Chu Qinghuang sneered coldly, "Your elder brother is the son of the emperor, can't he be divorced?"

With a plop, Feng Wanyue knelt down with a pale face: "Your servant, your servant doesn't mean that, Your Highness... Your Highness..."

Mrs. Feng was also confused when she heard this, but she had eaten rice for a few more years after all, and she said unhappily: "Your Highness, the Princess."

Chu Qinghuang turned his eyes slightly and looked at her coldly and calmly.

"The princess insisted on marrying Jinzhi, and now you insist on divorcing Jinzhi, totally disregarding the pride and dignity of the legitimate son of a noble family. Can you humiliate others at will by relying on your status?" Madam Feng had a clear look of anger on her face, "If your highness bullies people like this, I can only ask for justice from the queen mother!"

Chu Qinghuang looked at her silently, her eyes as deep and cold as a cold pond.

The air became cold for no reason.

Madam Feng's scalp numbed when she looked at her, and she couldn't help but feel a chill from the soles of her feet. She said calmly: "Why doesn't your highness speak? Isn't what I said true?"

Chu Qinghuang looked at her calmly, her face was cold, and she looked like a beautiful but emotionless ice sculpture, with a cold current surging around her body.

Feng Wanyue was so frightened that she dared not breathe, fearing that she would whip out the whip and hit her the next second.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Qinghuang finally lowered her eyes, brushed her sleeves slowly, and said in a calm voice: "It seems that Madam Feng doesn't take me seriously at all."

Madam Feng's face suddenly changed, and she suddenly thought of Chu Qinghuang's reputation for brutality and cruelty: "I...I don't have this idea..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, her momentum weakened by three points.

"I don't have this idea?" Chu Qinghuang raised her lips, "You are going to complain to the Queen Mother about me, and you still dare to say that you don't have such an idea. Do you think I am a fool?"

Madam Feng's expression became more and more pale.

She didn't think Chu Qinghuang was a fool, but she thought she was a lunatic.

"Do you know what 'the will cannot be violated' means?" Chu Qinghuang's tone was extremely calm, "My marriage with Feng Jinzhi was granted by the imperial decree. What did Madam mean by what she said just now? Is it to express dissatisfaction with the imperial decree?"

Madam Feng said anxiously: "I don't mean that at all!"
