My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 411 Reprimand

Chapter 411: Chapter 411 Reprimand

With such thoughts in mind, Yang Xuan did not provoke further during the journey that followed.

The War King Residence’s carriage quickly entered the palace gate.

It was only after disembarking from the carriage that Lin Fuying and Yang Xuan realized there were quite a few carriages parked at the gate.

Only after asking a nearby Palace Attendant did they learn that today, the Empress Dowager had also summoned several young ladies from noble families into the palace.

"It seems that neither the Emperor nor the Empress Dowager regard the Yang Family very highly."

Lin Fuying could not help but sneer, her eyes full of disdain when she looked at Yang Xuan.

"You’ve been in the capital for so long and haven’t met the Emperor or the Empress Dowager yet. You also missed the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet. What a joke."

In Lin Fuying’s view, it was clear that the Empress Dowager looked down upon Yang Xuan and the Yang Family.

Perhaps, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor would never agree to Yang Xuan’s marriage into the War King Residence.

"So what? Perhaps it was my aunt who rejected the Empress Dowager’s invitation on my behalf to get me into the palace,"

Yang Xuan glared at her irritably. She didn’t even know about the Empress Dowager summoning people to the palace, let alone anything else.

But she naturally didn’t want to show weakness in front of Lin Fuying.

"As a concubine-born daughter of the Prime Minister Residence, don’t you have even less status?"

She left the Palace Maid who had come to greet them behind and stormed off towards Princess Consort Yang’s palace.

Lin Fuying smiled at the young Palace Maid, "Please take us to Princess Consort Yang’s palace."

With Yang Xuan’s contrast, the young Palace Maid found Lin Fuying much more approachable.

The two of them were so focused on treating each other as adversaries that they didn’t notice, soon after they entered the palace gate, another carriage slowly stopped at the entrance.

It was Chu Nanli and Lin Xuanxuan who alighted from the carriage.

"I really don’t know why the Empress Dowager still insists on you coming to the palace when your pregnancy is already so advanced."

Lin Xuanxuan felt terrified just looking at Chu Nanli’s belly.

She had seen others pregnant before,

but never felt as worried as when facing Chu Nanli.

"Perhaps the Empress Dowager has something to say,"

Chu Nanli gently touched her own belly. She had not come across any troubling issues in the past few days, so her discomfort was not as pronounced.

"With so many people entering the palace today, what is there to worry about?"

Aside from the two of them, there were many other ladies from noble families.

Moreover, when the Empress Dowager had sent word to summon them, she merely wanted to see them and discuss the matters of Jici Academy.

It did not seem like they would encounter any troubling matters.

"Since you’ve put it that way, I guess I won’t worry unnecessarily,"

Lin Xuanxuan shook her head and smiled, feeling that her worries were indeed a bit superfluous.

After all, Chu Nanli was highly skilled in medicine. If there were any issues with her health, she would likely detect it herself before anyone else could.

Her continual worries by her side, on the other hand, might not be very helpful.

As the two of them headed towards the Empress Dowager’s palace, Lin Fuying and Yang Xuan had already arrived at the door of Princess Consort Yang’s palace.

The Senior Palace Maid by Princess Consort Yang’s side had been waiting there,

and upon seeing Yang Xuan, she quickly broke into a smile, "Miss Yang is here, the Princess Consort is waiting for you inside."

After saying this, she led Yang Xuan inside, completely ignoring Lin Fuying by her side.

Lin Fuying was furious. She picked up her skirt and was about to climb the stairs when she was stopped by the Nanny at the door.

"Concubine Lin, how could you not understand even this basic protocol?"

"Without the permission of Princess Consort Shu, how could you barge in like this!"

The nanny set her mind to making it difficult for her, obviously not intending to save her face.

"Please trouble the nanny to go inside and announce my arrival."

Even though Lin Fuying was reluctant, she had no choice but to swallow her anger for the time being.

After all, she no longer had the protection of Ye Yunting.

If something were to happen in the palace, she would only be hurting herself.

The nanny coldly dropped a "wait here" and quickly turned to go inside.

Once inside the hall, she had no intention of announcing Lin Fuying.

"Auntie should teach her a lesson like this, otherwise she will become more reckless!"

Yang Xuan skillfully clung to Princess Consort Shu’s arm, starting to act coquettishly.

"Auntie, you don’t know, but I’ve heard cousin scolding her many times recently."

Listening to her, Princess Consort Shu couldn’t help but interject, "Do you really not know what is causing their discord?"

Lin Fuying being disliked by Ye Yunting naturally pleased Princess Consort Shu.

But she also realized that she was becoming less and less able to read Ye Yunting.

Would there come a day when he began to dislike her, his mother consort?

"Even if I asked cousin, he wouldn’t tell me. Asking would be pointless."

Thinking about Ye Yunting’s usual attitude towards her, Yang Xuan felt increasingly depressed.

She spoke with a hint of grievance, "Auntie, I’ve been in the capital for so long, but cousin still doesn’t like me at all. What should I do!"

"Didn’t I tell you last time, Yunting has a temperament that resists force but yields to softness,"

"If you can’t manage to restrain your high and mighty attitude in front of him, how can he come to like you?"

Yang Xuan and the Yang Family were indeed the marriage prospects Princess Consort Shu was most satisfied with.

Firstly, knowing Yang Xuan fully, if she became the War King’s consort, she would definitely not cause Ye Yunting’s affections to drift.

Furthermore, the power of the Yang Family was sufficient to support Ye Yunting in the future battle for the throne.

"Don’t worry, your father and I have made so many preparations; we will definitely get you married to Yunting,"

Unless something unexpected happened to the Yang Family, causing them to fall from grace.

Otherwise, she would never change her mind.

The conversation between the aunt and niece in the hall had already lasted for nearly an hour.

During this time, Lin Fuying had been standing at the door enduring the curious glances of the passersby and suppressing the immense humiliation inside her.

One day, she would make Yang Xuan and Princess Consort Shu pay for their actions today!

After nearly another hour, the doors of the hall finally opened, and a palace maid from Princess Consort Shu’s side came out.

"Princess Consort Shu allows you to enter."

Lin Fuying had been standing there so long that her legs had become extremely stiff.

The palace maids nearby all ignored her awkward plight, none willing to step forward to help her.

Before Lin Fuying entered, Princess Consort Shu was still laughing and talking with Yang Xuan.

As soon as she saw her, the smile on Princess Consort Shu’s face faded away.

The moment she opened her mouth, it was an extremely harsh reprimand.

"You really are becoming more and more disrespectful. Yunting is busy, and you don’t even think to visit the palace regularly to serve me and fulfill your filial duties to Yunting?"
