The commotion in Qingyang Palace reached the neighboring palace, where her mother, Consort Qing, one of the four consorts, resided.

Consort Qing was furious when she heard her daughter's loud and boisterous voice.

"What are you shouting for? Where is your manners and etiquette?"

Rongyang felt even more upset after hearing his mother's reprimand.

"Mother, it hurts so much! My legs hurt so much!"

Seeing her crying loudly, Consort Qing's anger subsided a bit. She had initially thought she was just being unreasonable, but now it seemed she really was.

Consort Qing sat by her daughter's bedside: "Has the imperial physician arrived yet?"

"Your Majesty, Physician Chen just came by and said he couldn't find any injury, perhaps it's..."

The palace maid hesitated, wondering whether she should speak up.

What is it?

"It's because the princess stood for too long, causing poor blood circulation in her meridians, which led to her kneeling. Kneeling suddenly will definitely cause knee pain."

Upon hearing this, Consort Qing became somewhat annoyed again.

"What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to trick your father into coming here?"

"Then can you put some effort into other things instead of thinking about crooked ideas all day long?"

Consort Qing's feelings towards this daughter were unclear; it would be a lie to say she didn't love her. After all, she was her own flesh and blood.

But the things my daughter did before were getting more and more outrageous. From a young age, she deliberately injured herself in order to win favor with her husband.

Over time, no one believed it anymore.

"Mother, it's true. I'm not lying to you this time. Why don't you believe me?"

Consort Qing: "Then tell me, what exactly happened?"

Rongyang then recounted the events that had occurred in the Imperial Garden that day to her mother.

Consort Qing thought for a moment, "The daughter of Prince Feng is that little princess who is showered with love and affection."

When she was born, even the deceased Empress Dowager, Emperor, and Empress had passed away. Even when the concubines gave birth to princesses, they might not have received such treatment.

Consort Qing: "In the end, isn't it just that you're too stupid?"

"You know perfectly well that tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and the people who come are all rich and noble. How could a woman from an ordinary family be able to pick flowers in the Imperial Garden?"

"Not only did you fail to make friends, you offended three people at once. You're really something."

Rong Yang: "Well, I didn't know that at the time!"

"Hmph, I think you're just stupid." Consort Qing's face was full of disappointment.

"Alright, stop howling. If you're still in pain, stay in the palace and don't go out. You can go out when the pain subsides."

Rong Yang: "No, I'll carry her over no matter what, I'll make her pay."

Consort Qing: "Whatever you want. It's your own business, so just handle it yourself. If anything goes wrong, don't come looking for me."

Consort Qing was a content person. She was sent by her family, so she didn't compete or fight for anything and was happy to live a carefree life.

If my daughter wants something, she can fight for it herself; I won't interfere.

Only after experiencing pain will one learn a lesson and know peace.

...

Rong Qi rode swiftly from the border town. It was already afternoon, and the banquet was about to begin, but Rong Qi was taking a bath and changing clothes.

Anyway, the Emperor knows him. He either doesn't go or arrives late. He's in a hurry to come over because he wants to see his little darling in her palace dress.

Thinking of his little darling, Rong Qi softened completely. His body, soaking in the bathtub, revealed a noticeable scar on his chest.

Rong Yi had said she would apply medicine to her young master to fade the scar, but he refused. He said it was a testament to his and his beloved's love.

I'm easily speechless, so I just let the prince do whatever he wants.

The banquet began in a spacious courtyard next to the Imperial Garden.

By this time, almost everyone had arrived. Finally, the Emperor, accompanied by the Empress and a large entourage, entered in a grand procession.

Everyone rose and knelt in worship.

Murong Wan led Feng Qinghuang back to their own location.

Feng Qinghuang waved goodbye to her friends and then went back with her mother.

The Emperor waved his hand, and the banquet began.

The banquet began with dancing to liven things up.

After the opening dance, the Emperor first raised his cup to toast everyone.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, my dear subjects, please enjoy yourselves to the fullest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The banquet is in progress...

From the very beginning of the banquet, Feng Qinghuang was eating, her little head bobbing up and down, she was incredibly cute.

The Emperor originally wanted to see what the woman Aqi liked looked like, but instead he witnessed such an adorable scene.

The Emperor: "Qing Cang, is this your precious daughter?"

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, Feng Qingcang stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, it is indeed my daughter."

"Huang'er, come quickly to pay your respects to the Emperor."

When Feng Qinghuang heard her father calling her, she quickly swallowed the pastry in her mouth and wiped her mouth with her little hand.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Hahaha, the little girl is really cute."

"Hehehe, thank you, Your Majesty."

Rong Yuan...

You're such a simple child. Shouldn't an ordinary woman be extremely grateful when the emperor praises her? This young lady just says thank you?

However, it was precisely because of her uniqueness that Aqi looked at her differently.

However, in terms of appearance and family background, he is indeed a good match for Aqi.

Rong Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Huang'er has just returned. Come to the palace to play with your Sister Xiao more often in the future."

Feng Qinghuang nodded, then shook her head.

Rong Yuan looked at the little girl with amusement, nodding and shaking his head at the same time.

What's the meaning?

"What's wrong, little girl?"

Feng Qinghuang's words were not to be outdone: "There are too many rules in the palace. Today, someone even wanted me to kneel and bow to her. I don't want to come."

After Feng Qinghuang finished speaking, there was complete silence below.

It was common to bow and kneel before nobles in the palace, but when she said it, it sounded like a huge deal.

But to Feng Qinghuang and her family, it was quite unusual.

Feng Qingcang: "My dear daughter, who bullied you?"

"That's right, my dear daughter, just say it, your mother is here."

Murong Wan was also angry that someone dared to bully her daughter.

Feng Qinghuang shook her head: "I don't know who it is, it seems to be a princess."

Rong Qing and Rong Xiao felt both worried and relieved upon hearing their little sister's words.

She was worried that the emperor would punish her, but relieved that the little one was very brave.

Rong Yuan glanced at Feng Qingcang, who was about to explode in anger, and was somewhat speechless. "We haven't even done anything yet, and you're already thinking about killing someone."

Rong Yuan: "Huang'er, why don't you tell your royal uncle what happened?"

Feng Qinghuang then told the Emperor about what happened in the Imperial Garden that afternoon.

The emperor was also somewhat angry after hearing this.

His princesses were all too spoiled; only Xiao'er was sensible.
