With a crying voice, Concubine Tong took out a small handkerchief and wiped Xiao Zhihua's tears, "Oh, you are so old, and you are still crying. Aren't you ashamed?"

“Woo——”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhihua cried even harder.

She opened her mouth and let out an extremely loud "wow", and tears fell down like beads from a broken string.

"Okay, okay, okay, stop crying."

"Wow!"

Qin Ye: “…”

Xiao Zhihua felt as aggrieved as a 300-pound child, and Qin Ye was the unforgivable murderer who bullied her.

Concubine Tong tried to persuade him a few times, but it was useless. She had no choice but to look at Qin Ye helplessly:

"This child sent a note to the palace early in the morning, saying that the prince wanted to banish her to a villa outside the city and not allow her to return to Prince Chen's mansion. Now, she's making trouble with me."

Qin Ye was stunned when he heard this.

Zong Zhengchen was actually willing to drive Xiao Zhihua away?

A man's voice suddenly echoed in my ears:

——'Give me some time, I will take care of everything.'

Wasn't he just joking?

He actually wanted to take Xiao Zhihua away? !

In an instant, a strange feeling surged in Qin Ye's heart, but it disappeared in a flash.

She immediately stood up and replied, "Mother, this was the prince's decision, I was not aware of it."

Xiao Zhihua went to Concubine Tong and cried, saying that she didn't want to leave Prince Chen's mansion and didn't want to leave Prince Chen.

Prince Chen went to court, and Concubine Tong went to look for Qin Ye.

"You are the head lady of Prince Chen's mansion. You should handle the affairs of the women in the backyard." Concubine Tong said, "Whether Prince Chen favors you or not, you are still Prince Chen's concubine and have equal rights with him. He is in charge of external affairs, and you are in charge of internal affairs."

The tone of the elders educating the younger generation, every word is clear:

"Do your job well and take good care of your palace. You will be able to see people's true colors over time. Whether it is a pearl or a stone is not up to King Chen to decide."

Qin Ye was shocked.

These words seemed to be dealing with Xiao Zhihua's matter, but Concubine Tong was actually teaching her about the rights and status of being the Princess of Chen.

she……

She approved of her?!

Concubine Tong recognized her!

Concubine Tong continued, "Whether Zhihua stays or leaves is your business. If she makes an unforgivable mistake, she should be punished. On the contrary, you must not use your power for personal gain because of personal grudges. This is a taboo for those in power."

On the surface, she was helping Xiao Zhihua, but in fact, she was telling Qin Ye:

No matter you are Princess Chen or anyone else, you must act with integrity, fairness and justice. God is above you and countless eyes are watching you.

Seeing that Concubine Tong favored her, Xiao Zhihua pouted her lips in grievance, twitched her shoulders, and cried intermittently:

"Mother, mother... Since Zhihua came to the palace, she has been obedient and honest... She has never done anything to let down the Chen Palace... But I didn't expect that my sister would not tolerate me..."

The implication is: Qin Ye relied on her position as the principal wife to bully her, a concubine, and forced her to leave.

Qin Ye glanced at her coldly:

"I didn't even know you were going to the suburban villa, how did it become that there's no room for you?"

Xiao Zhihua wiped her tears and said, "But the prince hasn't come to my Mingyue Pavilion for a long time. If my sister hadn't said anything to the prince, why would the prince suddenly drive me away?"

Qin Ye said calmly: "It was the prince who drove you away, why do you blame me? If you don't agree, go ask the prince, what does it have to do with me?"

"The prince wouldn't chase me away for no reason. He loves me so much and favors me for the past ten years. If someone hadn't whispered something in his ear..."

"This is just your speculation. There is no evidence and it is not true."

"I know the prince. He wouldn't do that to me! He suddenly became strange. There must be someone..."

"It seems that you have a persecution complex."

“…”

The two of them started arguing with each other.

Concubine Tong sat on the side, looking at Xiao Zhihua, then at Qin Ye. The noise was so loud that she couldn't even get a word in. She couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand, feeling a bit of a headache.

The old lady stepped forward and said, "Madam..."

Concubine Tong raised her hand, suppressed her words, stood up, and said loudly:

"Since you are here, come and chant sutras with me!"
