Chapter 698: Go to the Emperor to Discuss the Reason
"Sister, isn't that too much?" Rong Fei was still nonchalant.
"Mother, please say less. Look, it's getting late. Why don't we go to the Cining Palace quickly?" The eldest wife advised softly.
"What? Not only those bitches can bully me, but now even you can criticize me? If you weren't incapable of giving birth to a son, why would I have to be the one to take the blame in everything?"
Concubine Hui glanced at the first wife's lowered head and became even more furious. "All you do all day is imitate those bitches. You're already old, but you still seduce men every day! I get annoyed just by seeing you. This harem is really a mess now!"
"Oh, Concubine Hui is so angry."
Defei was so angry that she crushed several plum blossoms. Then she straightened her clothes, held the hand that was warming the wine, and walked out leisurely.
Everyone was stunned when they saw people like Defei and Wenjiu appearing behind them.
Wenjiu obviously didn't expect that Concubine De would come out and confront him so directly.
Based on Defei's previous temperament, she would definitely endure such a humiliation.
As soon as Wenjiu glanced at Defei's face with a faint smile, he actually felt a hint of anticipation.
"It turns out to be Defei's sister. Now that you are here, why are you hiding behind and listening to people talking? Such mean behavior is inappropriate." Concubine Hui was still a little guilty. She just glanced at Defei and her expression became more and more unsightly.
Concubine Rong greeted Concubine De leisurely. Seeing that Concubine Rong did not seem surprised at all, Wen Jiu even suspected that Concubine Rong had seen them just now, so she did not respond to Concubine Hui from beginning to end.
"What Hui Fei said, if I hadn't been hiding, how would I have known you were calling me a bitch behind my back? These days it's really strange, people who say bad things about others behind their backs don't feel guilty, but I, the one being scolded, am I wrong to overhear it by chance?"
As soon as Defei said this, the air around them suddenly became tense.
In the past, most people would not say such things in public out of consideration for their appearance. But it was obvious that Defei was really angry today. She didn't even call her sister, but called her Huifei directly.
Rong Fei, who was usually calm, no longer had the relaxed look on her face. She took a few steps back and secretly looked at De Fei's face, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
De Fei suddenly laughed and said, "Yes, my birth is relatively low, but what Hui Fei said is strange. If Hui Fei were Empress Hesheli, Empress Niuhulu, or Empress Tongjia today, I would definitely come here with great fear and trepidation to apologize to you.
After all, we are all the same. Even if you come from a better family, doesn't that mean you are still a concubine?"
Although Concubine De was smiling, there was undisguised sarcasm in her eyes.
For a moment, Concubine Hui's face turned a little green.
"Bitch, you dare to compare yourself to me? I am the mistress of a palace, and you say I am a concubine."
De Fei laughed again: "Sister Hui Fei said that you are not a concubine, so are you the emperor's wife?
Although I entered the palace later than you and am a few years younger, I still know that the Emperor has had three wives, and none of them was named Ulanara.
"I didn't say that. Why are you making up all this nonsense?" Concubine Hui angrily said, "When did it become your turn to make up stories about my Ulanara clan?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine De sneered, "Is telling you the truth a fabrication about you, the Ulanara clan? Then my Uya clan will be called a bitch by you?
Why is it that only my sister is allowed to set fire, but I am not allowed to light a lamp? In this case, my sister, please come with me to the emperor to seek justice."
As she spoke, Concubine De grabbed Concubine Hui's arm and walked towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Concubine Hui was horrified. She had never expected the usually tolerant Concubine De to suddenly go crazy. She was shocked and furious: "What are you doing? What are you doing? How dare you use force in this palace? Do you have no shame?"
Concubine De sneered, "Face? My sister doesn't care about face, so what should I be afraid of? Come on! Now, let's go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to seek justice from the Emperor."
De Fei had been working as a clerk in her early years, and even after being a concubine for many years, she was still busy. Her physical strength was definitely not comparable to that of the pampered Hui Fei.
At that moment, Concubine Hui staggered when she pulled her, and she barely followed her forward before she managed to steady herself.
"How rude! You, you, you! You are such a savage!"
The eldest wife saw that things were not going well and immediately ran after him.
"Mother Virtue, Mother Virtue, please calm down! My mother's words were indeed a bit rash, and your daughter-in-law apologizes to you. Please, Mother Virtue, please don't be angry. Anger is harmful to your health. Let's talk it out."
No matter how you look at it, my mother is in the wrong in this matter. If this gets out, I won't get any advantage at all.
After giving birth, the eldest wife had been suffering from a lack of energy and blood. The excitement she felt made her vision darken, and she even felt unsteady on her feet. In a trance, she was pushed again, stumbling and nearly falling. Fortunately, someone beside her supported her.
Warming up the wine and assisting the Grand Concubine: "Grand Concubine, if you are not feeling well, please sit down and rest."
As she spoke, she handed the person to the maid beside her and hurried to catch up with Concubine De.
The eldest wife was stunned for a moment, feeling a little dizzy and nauseous, unable to move. After taking a breath, she immediately asked Rong Fei next to her:
"Mother Rong, please go over and lend a hand. It's almost the end of the year, and if this gets out, we won't have a good life. The Empress Dowager isn't feeling well, how could she hear such news? Mother Rong, please go over. I'm counting on you to take care of my daughter-in-law."
Rong Fei was still a little hesitant, but after hearing what the First Lady said, she thought for a moment and then quickly followed.
"Sister Defei, sister Defei, what are you doing? We were just joking with each other, please don't let the emperor know. It's New Year's Day, and if you really make the emperor so angry, I'm afraid we sisters will be punished together."
Concubine Rong came trotting over and stopped Concubine De.
Defei was able to get rid of Daifujin, but she couldn't lose face in front of Rongfei, so she stopped with a frown.
"Sister Rongfei, you've come just in time to serve as a witness. Let's go before the Emperor together. If he still doesn't believe, there's no point in reasoning with him!"
"Sister! Sister! Why are you really angry? Sister Huifei has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. We have been together for so many years, how come you still don't know her temper? Sister, let me make a decision for you. It was indeed Sister Huifei who made a mistake today. Let her apologize to you, and we can move on from this, okay?"
When Rong Fei saw De Fei stop, she breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Sister, please give me some face and don't make a scene in front of the Emperor. It's New Year's Day, and we sisters are quarreling like this. The Emperor will be furious! It will be a disaster for both of us. The Empress Dowager is still ill, how can she hear such news?"
