"Prince Jin!"
Prime Minister Shen was furious and ashamed, feeling a burning sensation on his face as if he had been slapped by the Prince of Jin.
No matter what, he was still the prime minister of a country!
In terms of importance to the Great Zhou Dynasty, he far surpasses the idle Prince of Jin!
The Prince of Jin actually humiliated him in public.
"Don't push your luck!"
Zhou Shiyue said, “How have I wronged you? I politely invited you back. How could that be considered an insult? However, if the Prime Minister doesn’t leave, I might consider truly insulting him.”
Prime Minister Shen's face was as black as if it were about to drip ink. He clenched his fists tightly, his whole body trembling slightly, clearly showing that he was using all his strength to control himself.
With so many people around and so many eyes on him, Prime Minister Shen simply could not stay there for even a moment longer.
He angrily flung his sleeves and turned to leave.
"Prince Jin, you must remember this day."
Prime Minister Shen gritted his teeth and uttered a sentence.
A cheerful reply came from behind, “Today is my wedding day, and of course I will remember it for the rest of my life. But I think the Prime Minister will also find it hard to forget.”
*Slap*, it sounded like another hard slap.
Prime Minister Shen strode away.
He shouldn't have come!
"Oh right, I almost forgot," Zhou Shiyue pointed at the two people, "You're from the Shu family, aren't you?"
Shu Ge's family.
Grand Secretary Shu claimed to be ill and did not come, but he sent two of his nephews and nieces, who were also sixth-rank officials in the court, to represent the Shu family at the Prince's Mansion to offer congratulations.
Now that the King of Jin has pointed these two out, their hearts skipped a beat, and they both stood up abruptly.
Being singled out by the Prince of Jin made them quite nervous. After standing up, the two of them forced a smile and looked at the Prince of Jin.
"Your Highness, we are indeed from the Shu family..."
Before they could finish speaking, Zhou Shiyue waved his hand and said, "I have no interest in hearing what kind of nobodies you are, but you should go back with Prime Minister Shen. The Prince's Mansion hasn't prepared any wine for the Shu family today, and I'm afraid there won't be enough for everyone, so I won't keep you any longer."
The two men were immediately escorted out by the guards.
Everyone immediately shrank back like quails.
What? Not enough wine? Afraid there won't be enough to drink?
The prestigious Prince Jin's Mansion, what a joke!
The Prince of Jin actually did something like driving away guests!
They had been hesitant about coming to the Prince's Mansion for the wedding banquet, but now it seems they were overthinking it. Even if they came, the Prince of Jin might not be willing to let them stay. Not just anyone can be a guest of the Prince's Mansion.
Those who had openly offended Prince Jin before couldn't even maintain a semblance of harmony today. Prince Jin slapped them without the slightest hesitation, showing absolutely no respect for them!
After today, the whole capital will probably know that Prince Jin dislikes Prime Minister Shen and Grand Secretary Shu very much.
Zhou Shiyue added, "I'm too lazy to count everyone, so I'll just have my men take action."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards immediately went to the guests and asked a few people to leave.
Those people were the ones who had spoken ill of Lu Zhaoling in court and offended Prince Jin.
This also includes members of the Yu family.
Yu Xu didn't come today, but his parents did.
They were Consort Yu's family members, yet even they were asked to leave. Consort Yu had already entered the main hall, and they had no chance to say anything.
Everyone immediately became even more flustered.
The Emperor and his entourage had already entered the hall and taken their seats. The Empress Dowager wanted to sit in the high seat, but Granny Qing stopped her.
They were still in a standoff when they heard a commotion outside.
Even the emperor couldn't help but cough.
"Is Ah Yue really kicking people out of the house?"
Consort Yu was somewhat uneasy because she seemed to have heard that her family members had also been driven out. Did Prince Jin also dislike her?
But she and Xiao Wu didn't do anything.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw the Fifth Princess looking at her from another seat, gently shaking her head to signal her to be quiet.
Consort Yu had no choice but to remain silent.
"I heard that Yu Xu and Yuan Jinyi are good friends," Princess Changning said to the Fifth Princess with a hint of schadenfreude. "And Yuan Jinyi had designs on Lu Zhaoling before, and then the Yu family was vandalized by the Prince of Jin's men. I wonder if the Fifth Princess knows that the Prince of Jin's uncle is very prone to taking his anger out on others?"
Why? Because Yu Xu and Yuan Jinyi are good friends.
The Sixth Princess also said with a cold expression, "Not only that, I heard that when Yuan Jinyi stopped someone's carriage on the street that day, Yu Xu was also there. He didn't stop him and even said some offensive things on his behalf."
Princess Changning exaggeratedly covered her mouth, "Oh dear, so that means it's not that he was taking his anger out on her, but that Yu Xu had also offended his uncle, the Prince of Jin?"
The Prince of Jin is petty and holds grudges!
Princess Changning had learned her lesson! She knew it very well!
She got nervous when Prince Jin chased people away outside, after all, she had offended Lu Zhaoling before.
She would be mortified if she were kicked out on the spot.
Fortunately, the Prince of Jin said something outside—
"I thank you all for coming today. Please enjoy yourselves and have a good drink."
This means that all those who needed to be evacuated have been evacuated.
Princess Changning only dared to mock the Fifth Princess after hearing those words.
She had a good relationship with the Sixth Princess and Consort Shu, and had long been on opposing sides. Now that Consort Shu and Consort Yu were at odds, and the Sixth Princess also disliked the Fifth Princess, she would naturally stand on the Sixth Princess's side as well.
"Sister Changning, Sixth Sister, you should worry about yourselves," the Fifth Princess said gently, without any anger or annoyance.
The Sixth Princess and Princess Changning immediately felt as if they had punched cotton.
They hated the fifth princess even more now!
"Your Majesty, what exactly is Prince Jin doing!" The Empress Dowager, still furious at being stopped by Granny Qing, demanded, "Is he going to hold the wedding ceremony or not?"
"Your Majesty, what exactly were you doing just now?"
At that very moment, the Emperor spoke up and asked the Empress a question.
He had been so curious for a long time that he couldn't help but ask now.
"Your Majesty," the Empress said, not wanting to sit with him, but since the main banquet table in the hall was reserved for them, "you really don't care about A-Ze at all!"
"What are you saying now? Why am I suddenly not concerned about him?"
The Emperor glanced at the Crown Prince.
What's wrong with the Crown Prince? He's perfectly fine.
He hasn't hinted to the officials much recently that he wants to depose the crown prince.
"The previous engagement..."
"Mother!" the Crown Prince interrupted her coldly, "Actually, I don't necessarily need this mother-son relationship."
"!!!"
The queen looked at him in disbelief.
"What did you say?"
The prince was tired.
He had already said so much, but the Empress Dowager hadn't listened to a single word.
Then don't blame him for being a little cruel.
“I said, if you are going to cause trouble, then go back to the temple. We, mother and son, need not see each other again, and I will not visit you again.”
