Chapter 703 Undesirable Romantic Encounters, No Need to Be Affected
"I-I didn't!"
Wu Yue'er didn't expect Chu Muyao to be so direct, asking the question right in front of everyone.
"At first glance, I thought it was indeed good, but after listening to it carefully now, I don't think it's that good. The story is just so-so."
I know your Princess Consort is your sister-in-law, and it's normal for you to praise her, but you can't go too far!
"Furthermore, as a princess, someone of such high status, isn't it beneath her dignity to write storybooks and let all the common people listen to them?"
Wu Yue'er pursed her lips. She hadn't thought about it in this way at all. After all, how could a princess do something so unbecoming of her status?
The princesses of their dynasty were all pampered and lived in luxury, especially the King of Chu, whose status was even more noble than that of ordinary princes. It was ridiculous that he had such an unpresentable princess!
"How is that beneath your dignity? Does everyone have to be like you, oblivious to the hardships of life, drinking only fine wine and dew all day long?"
Chu Muyao retorted without any politeness, "So what if she's a princess? You talk like you're above everyone else, I don't know where your pride comes from, you're really so high and mighty!"
"You!" Wu Yue'er was furious. They were princesses, and they were not ordinary people!
As a princess, Chu Muyao should have felt this way, but instead she started criticizing herself?
“Princess Muyao, you have misunderstood. Yue’er is straightforward and spoke without thinking. She didn’t mean it from the heart. Please don’t take it to heart,” Wu Jingshuo said.
When Song Ruozhen, Song Jingshen, and Gu Huan'er arrived, they heard Wu Yue'er gossiping about her being unbecoming, and they also heard Chu Muyao standing up for her. They felt that this good younger sister was truly well-loved.
However, she was equally displeased by Wu Jingshuo's seemingly apologetic but actually dismissive approach to the matter.
"It was clearly the princess who spoke rudely first. Mu Yao was just stating the facts. Does that mean that only she can say hurtful things, and no one else is allowed to hold a grudge?"
Song Ruozhen walked over to Chu Muyao's side, looked at the brother and sister from the Qi Yue Dynasty in front of her, and said in a cold voice:
"Since she is straightforward and a princess, she should think more carefully before she speaks. If she speaks without thinking all the time and offends people everywhere, isn't that also unbecoming of her status?"
These words undoubtedly silenced both Wu Yue'er and Wu Jingshuo.
Since you insist on bringing up the issue of status with her, why not have a proper discussion about which princess speaks without thinking?
When Wu Yue'er first met Song Ruozhen at the banquet, she thought she was a gentle and beautiful woman who used her looks to please others. However, she never expected that Song Ruozhen would speak so sarcastically and without giving her any face at all!
"Your Highness, isn't your princess too confrontational?"
I was just making a few unintentional remarks, why is she targeting me like this?
"I don't think there's anything wrong with what she said. If you think it was an unintentional mistake, why don't you ask Seventh Prince to order you a serving of pig brain tonight?"
Chu Junting had noticed Song Ruozhen's arrival earlier, and knowing the destructive power of his wife's reprimands, he remained silent.
Anyway, even if his wife causes the sky to fall, he'll be the one to hold it up!
They were just princes and princesses of the Qi Yue Dynasty; it's fine to scold them!
Wu Yue'er was stunned, disbelief flashing in her eyes, "Pig brain?"
Why would she eat this kind of thing?
Song Ruozhen and Chu Muyao exchanged a smile. If we're talking about sharp tongues, Chu Junting is no less so.
"Using the same shape to supplement the same shape," Chu Muyao said lightly.
Wu Yue'er pointed at herself, shocked, and said, "Your Highness, are you saying I'm stupid?"
“You said it yourself,” Chu Junting said.
Wu Yue'er opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal. She felt as if she had swallowed a fly, and was extremely frustrated.
"Since you find the local dialect unpleasant and the food mediocre, why don't you let your eldest brother and seventh brother take you to explore other places?"
"Guests are guests, so we should treat them well and take them to places that interest them," Chu Junting said.
Looking at the capricious Chu Junting, a complex emotion flashed in Xiao Wang's eyes. It seemed that Chu Junting had always been capricious and never cared about other people's opinions.
He doesn't want to get married, and he doesn't get married even if his father is unhappy. He just does what he wants.
Now that Lao Qi and the others want to marry Wu Yue'er, he has absolutely no interest in Wu Yue'er's attempts to please him.
Thinking back to how his second brother was always calculating and petty, it seems that Chu Junting never took him seriously from beginning to end, and didn't even notice these disputes.
Making him fight against the third brother truly gave him an indescribable sense of frustration.
"Seventh brother, your third brother is right. Since they are not interested, let's take them somewhere else."
King Xiao stood up. He had seen enough of this show today. Rather than wasting time with these guys, he might as well go back to his residence to rest.
Upon hearing this, Chu Muyao quickly said, "Yes, you should go and look around elsewhere. I want to hear this story again; it connects perfectly with the one I heard last time."
Seeing Chu Muyao's eagerness to get rid of Wu Jingshuo, Song Jingshen's eyes flashed with a smile. It seemed that the situation was not as serious as he had imagined.
She seemed to have no interest in this Prince Qi Yue.
Seeing that Chu Junting was starting to ask people to leave, the others naturally didn't want to stay any longer.
Wu Yue'er clenched her fists. She came from a noble family and had always been pampered by everyone since she was a child. No one had ever dared to give her a bad look.
Unexpectedly, she encountered repeated setbacks at the Chu Prince's residence, and now even if she didn't want to leave, there was nothing she could do.
Wu Jingshuo glanced at Wu Yue'er with displeasure. He had reminded her before that she should restrain herself after arriving here. Even if she was a princess, this was no longer the Qi Yue Dynasty.
If he doesn't change this temperament, he'll get into trouble sooner or later.
As Wu Yue'er and her group left, Chu Muyao breathed a sigh of relief.
"They're finally gone. I find Wu Yue'er really annoying, and Wu Jingshuo is also inexplicable. Why does he always like to ask me out?"
I feel nauseous just looking at Wu Yue'er. She even put on that arrogant and domineering act in front of me—it's laughable!
Chu Muyao looked disgusted as she sat down, finally feeling a sense of relief.
Gu Huan'er was also overjoyed. She was no longer worried at all. Her brother-in-law had said that Wu Yue'er was as stupid as a pig. How could he be interested in such a woman?
Song Ruozhen sat down next to Chu Junting and jokingly asked with a smile, "How does it feel to have such good luck with women?"
"I respectfully decline such unwanted advances."
Chu Junting shook his head, looking like he was saying goodbye.
Song Ruozhen couldn't help but laugh out loud, "We drove Lin Zhiyue away before, so now this trouble has fallen on your head. There's nothing we can do about it."
“However, I know that my wife is exceptionally intelligent and could never be like Qin Shuangshuang.” Chu Junting raised an eyebrow.
