Chapter 1498: Make An Example
Although they looked down on Lin Yuelan's low status as a peasant girl, she was still the princess of the Guguo. She was the second princess to be conferred the t.i.tle of a first-cla.s.s official before the founding of the Longyan Dynasty. Her status was equivalent to that of a regent. Other than the Emperor and the Empress, anyone who saw the princess of the Guguo had to kneel and salute. Otherwise, it would be considered a crime of disrespect.
Lin Yuelan didn't care much about those formalities. Therefore, she didn't care much about whether her family and friends knelt down or not.
But...
"You actually didn't kneel when you saw this princess!"Lin Yuelan looked at the two of them staring at her blankly. Her expression was obviously filled with contempt.
Lin Yuelan wasn't angry. Instead, she laughed.
Did these self-righteous people really think that she was easy to deal with just because she came from the countryside?
Did they really think that she was a fool? Did they really think that she would tolerate them?
"Why? The Ye and Zhou residences don't teach you the rules. Do you need me to teach you the rules personally?"Lin Yuelan shouted sharply.
Zhou s.h.i.+hua and Zhou s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ were stunned by Lin Yuelan's sudden imposing manner.
By the time they reacted, the two of them had already knelt down and said," Princess, please calm down!"However, their hands kept closing together, and there was a sense of anger.
"Men, go to the Ye residence and invite the Dingbei Marquis over for this princess!" Lin Yuelan turned to her subordinates.
"Yes, sir!"
"Then go to the Crown Prince's residence and invite the Crown Prince Consort over!"Lin Yuelan instructed.
"Yes!"
If she didn't make an example out of these two, did the various aristocratic families in the capital really think that she, Lin Yuelan, was easy to deal with?
Humph, she could ignore the disdain in her heart.
But on the surface, she had to be the dignified princess of the country.
This time, Zhou s.h.i.+hua's face turned pale.
She was filled with regret.
If she had stopped Zhou s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ from speaking nonsense, Lin Yuelan wouldn't have asked her parents to come, right?
But now, it was too late for regrets.
The crown prince consort came over not long after.
It was obvious that they were already on their way before Lin Yuelan went to invite them.
The Crown Prince Consort brought a group of people over.
The Crown Prince Consort was wearing a palace dress that symbolized her status. She appeared graceful and luxurious, generous and decent.
Lin Yuelan looked at her appearance, then glanced at the Zhou sisters on the ground.
When the Crown Prince Consort arrived and saw the two women kneeling on the ground, her expression changed slightly before returning to normal.
When Zhou s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ saw the Crown Prince Consort, her eyes immediately lit up, and her expression became excited.
She shouted loudly," Sister Crown Prince Consort, this Lin Yuelan is bullying me. Help me!""
As she said this, she glanced at Lin Yuelan and gave her a provocative and gloating look.
Lin Yuelan's lips twitched.
This woman was probably the most brainless woman she had ever met!
Did she really think that she was afraid of the Crown Prince Consort?
Hehe
"Shut up!" The Crown Prince Consort shouted sternly.
Then, she saw Lin Yuelan standing at the door and bowed respectfully." Ye Yao greets Princess Gu!"
Although Ye Yao was the Crown Prince Consort, Lin Yuelan's status was higher than hers.
Of course, when she became the Empress, she would not need to give Lin Yuelan these superficial courtesies.
Following that, the servants behind her also knelt down and shouted, "Greetings, Princess Guguo!"
However
"Sister Crown Princess, you are the Crown Prince Consort. Why are you paying respects to a princess?" Zhou s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ said angrily.
"I told you to shut up!" When the Crown Prince Consort heard Zhou s.h.i.+s.h.i.+'s completely brainless words, she was really furious.
If she could, she really didn't want to clean up this mess.
However, when she thought of her father's orders, she had no choice but to come.
"Crown Prince Consort, please rise!" Lin Yuelan said indifferently.
She only let the Crown Prince Consort get up and did not tell the other two to rise. They needed to keep kneeling.
Then, Lin Yuelan said," Crown Prince Consort, I'm sorry for troubling you to make this trip!"
The Crown Prince Consort immediately said in fear," Princess, please don't say that."
"However, it seems that the Crown Prince Consort really cares about your sister!"Lin Yuelan changed the topic and said in a strange tone. She deliberately emphasized the word 'sister' and continued half-jokingly, "No wonder Miss Zhou is so fearless!"
