Chapter 374 The Turmoil in the Main Hall
He really underestimated that sixth princess; she actually wanted to control everything he did.

Su Zui narrowed his eyes dangerously, but his gaze softened instantly when he saw Lu Yaoyao.

As long as his wife is by his side, no evil spirits or monsters outside can get close to him!

Su Baiwang didn't want to give up on his son and continued to persuade him, "Su Zui, do you know that the Sixth Princess has long been in love with you? It's better to marry the princess than to marry a divorced woman, isn't it?"

Su Baiwang looked down on Lu Yaoyao.

Even if she was granted the title of princess, she was still a peasant.

Su Baiwang came from a peasant background and has grown increasingly disdainful of peasants in recent years.

Perhaps he used belittling peasants to elevate his own status, so he had long forgotten that he was once a peasant himself.

Su Zui glanced at her coldly, "What do you mean by 'discarded wife'? She's the only wife I've ever truly loved! Unlike you, who married a prostitute who's been with countless men and even drove my mother to her death! Do you think you still have any face left in my eyes?"

"I'm warning you, if I ever hear you say another bad word about Yaoyao, I won't hesitate to kill you!"

He took Lu Yaoyao's hand, his eyes full of tenderness, "Madam, let's ignore him! You continue eating."

In his eyes, this man was not his father, but an enemy!
Su Baiwang's childhood sweetheart had willingly entered the brothel to become a prostitute, but she told him that she had been sold into the brothel while searching for him.

Su Baiwang felt both heartache and guilt, yet he had actually believed her lies.

Instead of cherishing his mother, a lady from a respectable family, he showed compassion for a prostitute, which led to his mother's tragic death.

He will never forgive that scumbag in his life!
Su Baiwang stood there helplessly, not expecting his son to be so resistant to him.

Seeing that the two people were ignoring him, Su Baiwang had no choice but to return to his seat dejectedly.

The banquet hall was filled with the sounds of string and wind instruments, and officials toasted each other.

Before long, the king and queen mother arrived.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager! Greetings to the King!"

All the officials knelt down to greet them.

Only Lu Yaoyao gave a slight curtsy.

It wasn't that she didn't want to kneel and pay her respects, but rather that they couldn't accept her gestures.

The king glanced at her in surprise, while the empress dowager looked somewhat displeased.

Then I thought, she's a goddess, so it's alright if I don't kneel down.

The Sixth Princess seemed to have seized a huge weakness in her, pointing at Lu Yaoyao with a shrill voice that filled the entire hall.

"How dare you! You are but a lowly princess, why do you not bow to the King and the Empress Dowager?"

“I am a princess, and you are a county princess. You should also pay your respects to me.”

Lu Yaoyao looked at her as if she were a fool, "Are you sure you want me to bow?"

The sixth princess persisted, "Of course! With the King and the Empress Dowager both here, you naturally need to pay your respects!"

The king remained silent, presumably agreeing with the sixth princess's wishes.

They always felt that Lu Yaoyao was too mysterious and difficult to control, and they also wanted to give her a hard time.

Lu Yaoyao sneered inwardly, seeing the smirks on these people's faces. Since they deserved a lesson, she would kindly teach them one.

"Okay! I hope you won't regret it!"

As she spoke, her knees slowly sank down, and with each inch her knees dropped, those around her felt the air around them begin to freeze.

As it dropped another inch, even the civil and military officials felt difficulty breathing.

Even the king and queen dowager began to experience rapid heartbeats and numbness in their hands and feet.

They knelt down an inch more, the surrounding air felt compressed, and they were like fish out of air, their faces flushed red, mouths agape, desperately trying to breathe in some fresh air.

Seeing Lu Yaoyao's knees drop another inch, the Empress Dowager raised her hand with difficulty, "Exempt..."

He wanted to say "no need for formalities," but no matter how hard he opened and closed his mouth, he couldn't utter a single word.

Su Zui was also overwhelmed by the oppressive aura, barely able to support himself by kneeling on one knee. Lu Yaoyao's knees were just about to touch the ground when suddenly thunder roared and purple lightning struck mercilessly, hitting the roof of the main hall.

A huge hole was instantly blasted in the roof of the main hall.

"No!" The king couldn't take it anymore; the dragon throne collapsed under the weight, and he fell to the ground.

As all the ministers were seen to be in close contact with the ground, unable to move at all, some of them even began to vomit blood.

The sixth princess was so oppressed by the aura that she lay on the ground like a dead dog with its tongue sticking out.

“Since the king has spoken, I will rise.” Lu Yaoyao stood up directly.

As she stood up, the terrifying pressure instantly dissipated, as if the feeling of impending death had been an illusion.

Finally able to breathe freely, everyone looked at Lu Yaoyao with fear in their eyes.

The king took a deep breath and composed himself. “From now on, the princess will not need to perform any formalities when entering the palace.”

If they made her bow again, they would all be crushed into mincemeat.

Looking at the huge hole in the main hall caused by lightning, one can't help but tremble.

The Empress Dowager also recovered her senses, and her gaze towards Lu Yaoyao changed somewhat. She forced a smile and said, "Yes, yes! From now on, the Princess need not perform the rites when entering the palace!"

The Empress Dowager patted her chest; the feeling of death approaching was so vivid that she dared not think of anything else.

Su Zui looked at Lu Yaoyao with tender eyes; this woman was his wife!

The sixth princess was limp and unable to get up. Two eunuchs had to lift her up so she could barely stand.

"Sixth Princess, do you still want me to kneel?" Lu Yaoyao smiled teasingly.

It's really not her fault. Even Heaven itself has to bow to her, while she only needs to bow to the Ancestral God.

No one below the realm of gods can receive a single bow from her.

The sixth princess was pale, her fierce eyes filled with a look that seemed to want to tear Lu Yaoyao to pieces.

He gritted his teeth and said, "No need!"

She had just experienced the fear of death, and her resolve wavered slightly.

With such a goddess around, can their plan really succeed?

He then shook his head. In any case, today's plan must be carried out!

Silence fell over the palace. The king coughed, "Today is the Queen Mother's birthday. What happened just now was a minor incident. Please continue!"

The civil and military officials all had different expressions, but their eyes were all fixed on Lu Yaoyao.

Lu Yaoyao, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to enjoy Su Zui's service, eating and drinking as usual.

The Sixth Princess, seeing that Su Zui's eyes were only on Lu Yaoyao and she didn't even glance at her, angrily crumpled the handkerchief in her hand.

At this moment, King Qi also arrived. He hadn't come earlier and therefore didn't know what had happened in the main hall.

"Greetings, Empress Dowager! I am late, I hope my sister-in-law will not take offense." Prince Qi bowed and smiled.

King Qi had always addressed the Empress Dowager in this way, and she hadn't thought much of it, gesturing for him to sit down. "King Qi, there's no need for such formalities! Since you're here, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." King Qi didn't even glance at the King.

This is already a blatant provocation.

The king smiled as if nothing had happened and continued eating and drinking.

The atmosphere in the main hall began to liven up again, and the dancers began to dance, swaying their supple waists.

Her flowing sleeves and tinkling jade pendants exuded an indescribable charm.

Prince Qi and the Sixth Princess exchanged a glance, then Prince Qi stood up and bowed. “Sister-in-law, this is the Purple Illusion Grass that I specially found. It is the last Purple Illusion Grass in the world. Sister-in-law has always loved it, and I want to present this unique thing to you.”

As soon as the Purple Illusion Grass appeared, all the civil and military officials in the entire hall, even the king and empress dowager, had a dazed look in their eyes.
