Chapter 662 Xiao Yue offends Queen Shi

Queen Shi raised her hand to signal Xiao Yue to stand up and spoke slowly.

"Fifth Princess, do you know why I asked you to come here?"

"My daughter knows. She has heard about Concubine Wu's complaint."

"then you……"

"But my daughter doesn't think she did anything wrong. It was Xiao Lan who provoked me first, and I didn't say anything excessive. I just asked her if she had chosen someone she liked. As her sister, I just gave her some advice."

Xiao Yue's tone revealed a sense of indifference. In her opinion, it was just a few verbal conflicts, and Queen Shi could not punish her for this matter.

And because she was unhappy about the garden banquet, Xiao Yue was more or less emotional when facing Queen Shi.

Jiang Suining and Xiao Yue, who were standing aside, looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that Xiao Yue really couldn't control his emotions at all.

Although Queen Shi would not really punish her for these little things, such an attitude made the Queen feel dissatisfied, which might not be a good thing for the future.

Queen Shi had no biological children. To her, whether it was Xiao Yue, Xiao Lin or Xiao Lan, they were all the same. Under normal circumstances, she would not favor anyone over anyone.

But if Xiao Yue angered Queen Shi and made her unhappy, she would probably be biased in some matters in the future.

Queen Shi obviously did not expect Xiao Yue to have such an attitude, but in just a blink of an eye, she adjusted her expression.

"Although the purpose of the garden party is to let you see each other, there are some things that should not be said in front of everyone."

"I……"

"And you should know clearly in your heart whether your purpose in speaking like that was to give her some advice or to embarrass her."

Queen Shi interrupted Xiao Yue and looked at her with scrutiny and intimidation in her eyes.

Xiao Yue's heart skipped a beat when he saw this look. He lowered his head unconsciously and avoided the sight.

"But you can't just listen to the one-sided words of Concubine Wu and her daughter. Even if what I said was inappropriate, it was because Xiao Lan provoked it first. If there is really a mistake, both parties are wrong."

"I have roughly understood the whole story. I am not saying that you are the only one to blame. I just want to remind you that sisters should care for each other and not be so hostile. And as a princess of the royal family, you should abide by the rules and etiquette in your words and deeds, so as not to lose the dignity of the royal family. And..."

Queen Shi paused for a moment, and Xiao Yue raised her head, wanting to know if there was anything else.

Facing Xiao Yue's gaze, Empress Shi said, "Perhaps I was a little careless before and never paid attention to your knowledge of palace rules and etiquette, so you don't know what kind of makeup and clothes you should choose for different occasions. Next, I will send a nanny who teaches etiquette to your bedroom. You should follow her and learn well. Don't make mistakes and make a fool of yourself in the future."

Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment. Did this mean that she was dressed too ostentatiously at the garden party?

But since it's for a visit, I should naturally dress up better. Could it be that because I dress better than Xiao Lin and Xiao Lan, I should label myself as someone who doesn't follow the rules?

Or is it that what I am wearing is really a little inappropriate?

Xiao Yue frowned, wondering which one was more likely.

"Fifth Princess, did you hear clearly what the Queen said?" Queen Shi's personal nanny looked at Xiao Yue who was slow to speak and asked.

Xiao Yue pursed her lips and said, "Mother, I heard it clearly."

"Forget it, you can leave." Queen Shi waved her hand.

When Xiao Yue bowed and took her leave, she suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I almost forgot to ask you, did you see anyone you liked at the garden party?"

At first, she was worried about Xiao Yue and the others' marriage because of her duties as the queen. Now, seeing Xiao Yue's appearance, she really didn't want to care. But after all, the garden party had already taken place, so she had to ask a few questions.

Speaking of the garden party, Xiao Yue became furious again, but after the warning just now, she naturally did not dare to show any dissatisfaction or accusations.

"I'm going to tell you, mother. I haven't seen anyone I like, and I feel that I'm not too old, so I want to wait a little longer."

Queen Shi frowned when she heard this. "There are so many young masters from noble families here. Have you really not seen even one that you like?"

"No." Xiao Yue shook her head stiffly.

"Fifth Princess, you are not young anymore. And the Sixth Princess and the Eighth Princess will probably be engaged soon. As their elder sister, you..."

"It's their decision. If I find someone I like in the future, I will definitely ask mother to help make the decision." Xiao Yue interrupted the nanny.

As the saying goes, good food is worth a day. If Xiao Lin and Xiao Lan want to choose from those people, that is their business. I will definitely choose one who is 100% to my liking.

Xiao Yue was thinking secretly, not realizing that her thoughts had already been fully revealed on her face.

Empress Shi was too lazy to say anything more, and just said indifferently: "It seems that those noble family children that I invited are not to your liking. If that's the case, forget it. But if your father asks, I can only tell the truth."

Xiao Yue was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice Queen Shi's tone and expression. She just bowed and thanked her, "Thank you, mother. I will take my leave now."

"Well, back off."

After Xiao Yue left, Jiang Suining and Lu Yan walked back to the middle of the bedroom.

Seeing Empress Shi's unhappy expression, Jiang Suining asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, do you need to rest? Otherwise, we will come back to report later."

"No need, you guys continue talking." Empress Shi rubbed her brows and turned to look at the nanny beside her, "Send someone to the imperial study and tell the emperor everything the fifth princess said just now to see what the emperor thinks. There is no need to hide the conflict between her and the eighth princess, report everything."

If it were in the past, Empress Shi would not have let anyone report the news to Emperor Xiao and make him worry.

But now her thoughts and attitude have changed. After all, she is not her biological daughter, and marriage is a big deal, so it is better to let Emperor Xiao know to avoid any disputes.

The nanny took the order and went to the imperial study. When Emperor Xiao heard about Xiao Yue's attitude, although he was unhappy, he had no intention of interfering in the face of a pile of memorials that had not been dealt with. He just replied, "I know," and let Empress Shi handle it.

For Emperor Xiao, although his daughter Xiao Yue had brought honor to Beiyang, compared with the affairs of the court, she was not worth his attention.

In the royal family, this neglect sometimes brings freedom, but more often, it lays the foundation for hidden dangers in the future...
