Chapter 955: Chapter 955-Offending a Superior
Chu Jiuniang did not budge, but Chu Yuanshi and Chu Lingzi’s faces turned red.
It was really embarrassing.
What’s the difference in giving it to a shrew?
The Princess of South County looked on coldly. She didn’t step forward like she did on the day of the funeral. Instead, she looked at Xiao Baoxin calmly with disdain in her eyes.
“Consort Dowager…Since you’re drunk, let’s rest first.” Chu Yuanshi came out to smooth things over, but her heart was tired.
He then looked at Xiao Baoxin,”Are you alright? You’re pregnant now, so you have to be careful.””
“Undeserved disaster. Fortunately, I have martial arts on me. Otherwise, wouldn’t I really be injured?”Xiao Baoxin bowed to Empress Dowager Xiao.””ChenQie was frightened and a little tired, so I won’t disturb the Empress Dowager and the other Furen’s mood and will take my leave first.”
He would not be involved in the dispute between Empress Dowager Xiao and Empress Dowager Chu. Neither side would offend each other.
Empress Dowager Xiao was unhappy. How could she be in cahoots with Xie Xian? They should be tied together. However, Xiao Baoxin didn’t even fly into a rage after being hit by someone. It was unknown if he was pregnant and had lost his temper. He had thrown all his courage behind his butt and was completely out of it.
“In that case, Furen should go back and rest.”He didn’t take the initiative to ask her to stay.
Chu Lingzi looked at Xiao Baoxin and rushed forward.”Your body is heavy, so don’t tire yourself out. I’ll go with you, so we can take care of each other.”
She had seen enough shows, eaten enough, and sat enough. She wanted to go home.
Mrs. Chu Yuan: My biological daughter is not kind.
She also wanted to leave, but she couldn’t be too stiff with Empress Dowager Xiao. Instead of accompanying her mother, she ran faster than anyone else. Does Lady Xiao need you to take care of her? She’s much stronger than your mother!
The Princess of South County was not a simple person either. Her cold face made it seem as if someone owed her millions. She was like an emperor crying at a banquet. She was so tight and imposing. It made her seem approachable and did not have the imposing manner of a matriarch.
Chu Jiuniang…As expected of a concubine’s child, he was too shameless.
Although they were from the Chu family, she really did not like them. She did not want to fall out with Empress Dowager Xiao, so she had to continue sitting even if it was awkward.
Chu Jiuniang wanted to fly into a rage again, but the palace’s nannies were not to be trifled with. They carried her away with half a pull and half a support.
However, one could still hear Consort Chu’s cries outside the hall. Empress Dowager Xiao had gone too far…
The Princess of South County felt disgusted and regretted accepting Empress Dowager Xiao’s invitation. She was the princess of a country, and her husband had supported the new emperor. She only cared about her reputation with Empress Dowager Xiao, so she didn’t need to care too much about it. This was just a show on the table. If you gave her some face, it would look good on the surface, but in fact, she had no power. Otherwise, Chu Jiuniuniang wouldn’t dare to go against Empress Dowager Xiao like this.
Putting aside her upbringing and demeanor, Chu Jiuniang was not stupid. She could see through this aspect.
Xiao Baoxin could leave just like that, but her husband’s face had been earned to such an extent. However, other people didn’t have that status and they had to be polite. They didn’t want to lose their dignity and sat awkwardly on the spot.
..
“Look at the Xie family. They’re really strong.”Didn’t she see Consort Chu and Xiao Baoxin stand up? Her face had turned black.
He was afraid that Xiao Baoxin would cause trouble.
“That’s right. The Xie family’s overall trend is upward. Whether a family was going up or not, you could tell by looking at whether their population was flourishing. Just how many people in the Xie family were going to have children this year?”
“The Wang family is already old and ripe.”
“Look at their reproductive ability.”
Zu Shi: Pfft.
Why did she feel like she was being attacked?
Her reproductive ability was not inferior to the Xie family’s.
Soon, the atmosphere of the banquet returned to normal. Everything went back to normal.
Empress Dowager Xiao was the only one who felt aggrieved.
From this, one could see how awkward the status of the royal family was now. If it was in the past, when the higher-ups were angry, wouldn’t the subordinates be nervous?
How could it be like now, when the harem was almost in one place? They had torn apart their old faces and greeted the other party’s ancestors for eight generations. In the end, the group of concubines acted as if nothing had happened, chatting and laughing. The atmosphere was simply too harmonious.
Since when did he put her in his eyes?
After holding on until the banquet was over, Empress Dowager Xiao returned to the Jiaofang Palace. It was deserted.
He could not help but think of Emperor Yong Ping.
Even though Emperor Yong Ping was dead, the new emperor was still young, and the Peaceful Life Palace was located at the corner of the palace, not as good as the Jiaofang Palace. Moreover, Empress Dowager Xiao was used to living here and did not move out for a while.
Now that she thought about it, no matter how bad Emperor Yong Ping was, he was still her husband. When Emperor Yong Ping was still alive, she was the mother of a country. Now, she was only the legitimate mother of Emperor Kang Ding. He still had his own mother.
Emperor Kang Ding was still young, and now that he was obedient, he was afraid that he would be too magnanimous and not take her seriously in the future.
She only relied on the title of a legitimate mother and had no one to rely on. Her maiden family was in the two prefectures of Yi and Ning. Yuanshui couldn’t put out the fire, and she couldn’t send messages all the way back for big and small matters.
However, she was the Empress Dowager who was promoted to the top by Xie Xian and could only manage the harem. She wanted to transfer her family to Jiankang, but she couldn’t do it.
When she summoned Xie Xian into the palace alone, he had ten thousand words to stop her from doing so. Men and women should not be close to each other, and the harem should not interfere in politics.
Chu Jiuniang dared to insult her again and again in front of everyone. Wasn’t she bullying her because her family didn’t have anyone and the Xie family didn’t do anything?
Otherwise, why would she dare?
Empress Dowager Xiao did not eat much that night, and her stomach hurt from anger.
Gui Zhi wanted to persuade her but did not know how to do so. She was too ashamed and scolded Consort Chu in her heart for going too far.
“Empress Dowager, you should rest early. You haven’t rested well these few days and your eyes have turned green.”After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out some words of comfort.
Empress Dowager Xiao took a deep breath.
“Imperial Consort Chu has misbehaved in the palace. Tomorrow morning, give me a verbal order for her to be grounded for two months and reflect on herself.”
Guizhi (Guizhi)
It was unknown whether they would abide by it.
However, the late emperor didn’t have many concubines left in the palace. Those who didn’t have children were all banished to temples outside the city to shave their heads and cultivate. Only those who had children were still in the palace. They lived in their original palaces and didn’t move away. At most, there were the Empress Dowager, Consort Chu, Consort Lu, and Consort Pan.
These few people didn’t want to see each other. They pinched each other like crows and didn’t move around.
I can’t help but feel the truth It was just that.
However, since Empress Dowager Xiao was talking about this, it was a matter.
Empress Dowager Xiao did not sleep much that night. She tossed and turned because Chu Jiuniang had been giving her trouble these days.
The next day, Gui Zhi passed down the Empress Dowager’s order. Chu Jiuniang sneered and did not refute. On the third day, she angrily went to Jiaofang Palace.
The Fifth Prince had caught a cold, and she was bent on pointing out that Empress Dowager Xiao had ill intentions behind her back, causing a huge ruckus.
“Insolence, beat him up!”Empress Dowager Xiao couldn’t take it anymore and roared at the top of her lungs. ” You, you don’t want to be shameless, but you don’t want to be shameless!”
