Before the First Madam could say anything more, Yang Liu interrupted her, standing beside her with a smile: "Madam, since Her Majesty has said so, let's go back first. We'll see Her Majesty's beautiful face sooner or later, so why are you in such a hurry?"
The First Madam turned around and gave Yang Liu a subtle glare: "Who gives you the right to speak in front of Her Majesty!"
Yang Liu immediately looked aggrieved: "Madam, I didn't mean to..."
Sang Jiang smiled and smiled as she looked at the two of them.
She doesn't like either of them anyway, and she's happy just watching them bicker.
The First Madam glared at her again before smiling and looking at Sang Jiang: "This humble woman has not been strict enough in disciplining her children, Your Majesty, please forgive her."
Sang Jiang chuckled: "It's alright. Your magnanimity in treating servants with such tolerance is truly admirable."
The First Madam's smile froze on her face. This was clearly a sarcastic remark mocking her incompetence, that she couldn't even control a concubine.
Yang Liu's expression also changed. She had thought that by taking the initiative to befriend Princess Mingyue, she could become friends with her, but who knew that Princess Mingyue would be so disrespectful.
The third concubine's expression also turned slightly awkward. Sang Jiang's words undoubtedly hit a nerve. As a concubine, to put it nicely, she was a mistress; to put it bluntly, she was no different from those who were servants.
The First Madam gave her a forced smile: "Your Majesty is right. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
Sang Jiang nodded: "Go ahead."
After everyone left, Chunhe couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Princess, Yangliu thought she could please you by speaking up for you, hahaha, she probably dreams that you are Princess Mingyue."
Sang Jiang removed her veil, her eyes sparkling with laughter: "I'm hungry, have someone bring in breakfast."
Chunhe stopped smiling, nodded to Sang Jiang, and turned to leave.
...
At the same time.
As soon as the First Madam stepped out of Yunshuang Courtyard, she slapped Yang Liu across the face.
"Ah!" Yang Liu cried out, clutching her face in pain. "Madam, what are you doing?"
"What have you done?" The First Madam laughed angrily, looking at Yang Liu in front of her and sneer, "Why don't you tell me what you've done! Does Her Majesty need you to act like a big shot in front of her!"
As she spoke, she couldn't contain her anger and slapped Yang Liu on the other side of her face. Yang Liu frowned and looked at the First Madam, her pupils widening involuntarily. She hadn't noticed when the First Madam slapped her the first time, and she really didn't expect the First Madam to dare to hit her again.
Yang Liu glanced at Yunshuang Courtyard and knelt down with a "plop," shouting, "Madam, I know I was wrong. I only spoke up to persuade you because I saw that Your Highness really didn't want to show yourself. I really didn't mean it."
"What are you shouting for? Don't you think you're shameful enough?" The First Madam's face darkened further as she looked at the group of people peeking in from the entrance of Yunshuang Courtyard.
Yang Liu could tell from her posture that she was afraid of losing face, and thought that she should shout louder, as if she was afraid that Sang Jiang inside could not hear her: "Madam, I cannot agree with what you say. Madam hit me for no reason and said that I was shameful. I really don't know what shameful thing I did."
The First Madam glanced at her and said, "Don't you know what you've done?"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, the third concubine took two steps forward, pulled the first wife aside, and said softly, "Madam, Her Majesty is still here. Let's talk about it when we get back."
