Chapter 1000: I know I was wrong, please punish me
Princess Yun'an said coldly: "No need!"
It was precisely because she was so proud and arrogant that she would never accept charity from Concubine Chen.
Besides, wrong is wrong. No matter whether Concubine Chen is sincere or not, she doesn't need the other party's magnanimity.
She, Yun'an, is the eldest princess of the Great Zhou, the biological daughter of the late emperor, and the biological sister of His Majesty! She has always been responsible and would not be unable to bear even such a small mistake.
Besides, Princess Yun'an believes that a gentleman like Lord Gu would definitely appreciate people who are responsible.
If she relied on her status today and treated the promise she made before as a joke, I am afraid that not only others but also Lord Gu would look down on her.
Thinking of this, Princess Yun'an picked up the wine glass in front of her, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, she slowly walked towards Shen Zhinian, then lifted up her skirt and knelt in front of her neatly.
Princess Yun'an raised the wine glass in her hand, looked at Shen Zhinian and said seriously: "Noble Concubine Chen, tonight I was ignorant and didn't understand ancient paintings, so I misunderstood you. Now I will use wine instead of tea, I hope you will forgive me!"
At this moment, many people gasped in shock!
Princess Yun'an actually knelt down before Concubine Chen? !
They thought that she was so proud and arrogant that she would go back on her previous promise today.
For a moment, everyone looked at Princess Yun'an with different eyes. Some were surprised, some were shocked, some were stunned, some were mocking, and some were...admiring!
No matter what, they don’t have the courage to admit their mistakes in front of others and kneel down to apologize to people whose status and position are lower than theirs…
Although she knew her mistakes and could correct them, as the eldest princess, she knelt down to admit her mistakes to a royal concubine. It would be a lie for Princess Yun'an to say she wasn't embarrassed.
Even so, she still has no regrets!
She would do it again if it happened again.
Because myna is her biological brother, and the bond between brothers is thicker than blood.
Whether it is myna, Qingyang, Wenshu, or the emperor’s brother who are in trouble, she will stand up to protect them!
Princess Yun'an believed that if she were in trouble one day, the mynah bird would still protect her in the same way.
"Third sister..."
Princess Qingyang frowned in pain and couldn't help but blame Shen Zhinian in her heart.
Concubine Chen is really something. She knew that it was such an important occasion today and that the royal family members and civil and military officials were all there, so why did she insist on embarrassing the third sister? !
Princess Qingyang had heard from others that, with Concubine Chen's current overwhelming favor and the fact that she had given birth to the fourth prince, His Majesty's favorite, it was not impossible for her to aspire for the throne of Empress in the future.
Princess Qingyang didn't care about these things at first, but at this moment, she suddenly felt that such a petty-minded woman, how could she be worthy of being the mother of the country? !
Concubine Chen does not have Concubine Zhuang's sense of tact at all.
In comparison, Concubine Zhuang was the most virtuous and generous.
Those with even uglier expressions were the people from their faction, headed by Duke Dingguo.
Originally they thought that Princess Yun'an would be able to pull Concubine Chen down from the position of Concubine without them taking any action today!
Unexpectedly, he underestimated this woman.
Shen Zhinian could see that Princess Yun'an's previous anger was real, and her admission of mistake was sincere at this moment.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say...
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shen Zhinian did not embarrass Princess Yun'an too much. She took the wine glass handed over by her and drank it all, then said generously, "I accept Princess Yun'an's apology."
This is the way to reveal it.
She would not listen to Princess Qingyang and Concubine Zhuang's lies and do anything to repay evil with kindness.
Seeing this scene, many people whispered to each other, "This... I didn't expect Princess Yun'an to actually admit her mistake and apologize to Concubine Chen."
"There are so many people watching. If it were me, I would be so embarrassed that I would die."
"Speaking of which, I admire Princess Yun An very much. She is neither humble nor overbearing in the face of such a thing. She is really like a princess."
"Everyone says that it is the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them, but how many people have the courage to admit their mistakes in public? Especially those of noble status and wealth."
"To be frank, Princess Yun'an is not as arrogant and unreasonable as I imagined."
"..."
The emperor's angular face showed no emotion. But when his eyes fell on Shen Zhinian, there was a hint of brightness and a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
Nian Nian, ah Nian Nian, she really gives him a great surprise from time to time!
If she were the same as before, she would definitely pretend to be weak and timid in front of him today.
But today, Nian Nian's attitude towards Yun An was so tough.
Nangong Xuanyu couldn't tell for a moment when Nian Nian started to stop pretending in front of him...
However, even though he has gradually realized her true face, he is still obsessed with her...
As Shen Zhinian turned and walked towards her seat, Princess Yun'an also returned to her seat.
"Third sister, are you okay?"
Princess Qingyang and Princess Wenshu both cast worried glances at Princess Yun'an.
Princess Qingyang, in particular, bit her lips gently, with a bit of indignation on her beautiful face, and whispered: "I used to think that my brother doted on Concubine Chen so much, and she must have something extraordinary. Today I know that Concubine Chen is such a petty person!"
"It's obviously just a small matter. It can be resolved by making a big thing small and a small thing disappear. But she insisted on making it so serious that she made my third sister kneel down in front of so many people."
"Is Concubine Chen feeling very proud?"
Princess Yun'an frowned and looked at Princess Qingyang disapprovingly: "Fourth sister, this is wrong."
"Although I don't like Concubine Chen's behavior, I was indeed short-sighted and misunderstood her tonight. I should admit my mistake."
"As the eldest princess of the royal family, you must distinguish right from wrong."
Princess Qingyang lowered her head and said nothing more, just said: "Yes..."
At this moment, Princess Yun'an looked at Prince Jin with a hint of worry in her eyes.
The painting that my brother gave to my brother turned out to be a fake...
If you look closely, this is a crime of great disrespect!
I wonder how my royal brother will deal with my starling today?
To use an inappropriate analogy, the palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh. At this moment, Princess Yun An didn't know what to do...
From the moment Shen Zhinian confirmed that the painting "Fishing Alone on a Cold River" he had given was a fake, Prince Jin stood up and knelt in the center of the hall with a look of panic on his face.
But just now, everyone's attention was on the bet between Princess Yun'an and Concubine Chen, so he couldn't get a word in.
At this moment, the Prince of Jin said to the emperor on the dragon throne with an apologetic tone: "It is because of my poor eyesight that I was deceived by others. I could not distinguish the original "Fishing Alone on a Cold River" from the imitation, and I actually presented the fake to my brother..."
"I know I was wrong, please punish me, brother!"
