Chapter 628 Ugly People Often Cause Trouble
The sudden change here shocked many people.
Fu Jinrou was lying in the flowers, screaming in disbelief. Madam Cao hurried over and said, "Shut up! Stop screaming!"
She whispered, "This is the harem, do you want to call everyone over?"
If it falls, it will be embarrassing at most. But if it disturbs the Queen Mother or other nobles in the palace, then it will be a big deal.
Fu Jinrou was frightened by Mrs. Cao's harshness and suddenly shut up.
Tang Ning was worried: "Yuejian, why don't you help Madam Fu up quickly!"
Yue Jian ran over quickly, kicking away the stones that had just fallen on the ground. After helping Fu Jinrou up, the little palace maid who had just bumped into Fu Jinrou knelt on the ground.
"Please forgive me, my lady, please forgive me. I didn't mean to do that. I didn't see you there..."
Fu Jinrou's eyes were covered with dust, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Tang Ning handed her a handkerchief: "Sister Fu, wipe it first."
When Fu Jinrou wiped her face with a handkerchief, Tang Ning said softly to her, "Don't blame the little palace maid for what happened just now. Sister Fu missed a step when she was going down the stairs. If she hadn't been there to block the way for you, Sister Fu would have fallen even harder."
Fu Jinrou was dripping wet, with water all over her hair and face. She wiped her face with a handkerchief, and the handkerchief was covered with various colors, making her already uneven skin look even uglier.
Her hand was cut and bleeding, and even though she knew she had twisted her ankle and fallen, she still took her anger out on the little palace maid. She looked at the little palace maid shivering on the ground and wanted to tear her apart, but she also understood that the people in the palace were not someone she could deal with at will.
What's more, there were so many people around looking at her, so Fu Jinrou could only suppress her anger and say, "Don't blame you, it was my own carelessness."
The palace maid kowtowed quickly: "Thank you, young lady, thank you, young lady."
In the middle of winter, the water would make you feel cold just for a moment when it fell on your body.
Water was dripping from Fu Jinrou's hair, and a large area of her dress was wet.
Seeing Fu Jinrou in such a state of disgrace, Madam Liang said hurriedly, "It's so cold now. Miss Fu's hair and clothes are all wet. Don't let the cold wind get her sick. Madam Fu, take her back and change her clothes."
Although Madam Fu was happy to see Fu Jinrou in trouble, she didn't really want to make her sick, at least not in the palace. Besides, today's fun was enough to make her happy.
Madam Fu nodded quickly: "Madam Liang Er is right. I will take her back now."
Madam Cao frowned and glanced at Madam Fu, then said to the others, "Then I'll go over first."
The people who lived in Xiaoan Hall left together, and those who stayed in Qiyun Hall were Rong Yue and the others, as well as the second wife of the Liang family and another wife, Mrs. Lin.
The two of them couldn't help but shake their heads as they looked at the direction Fu Jinrou and the others left. This Miss Fu was really unlucky. First, she misbehaved in the palace and offended the Queen Mother, and now she fell down out of nowhere. She was so unlucky and a sickly person at the same time. It was really...
Madam Liang Er turned around and said, "I heard that Madam Cui and the wife of Marquis Wenxin also live in Qiyun Palace. They just went to the palace before us, met the Empress Dowager, and then went to the Xianfei's place."
Rong Yue said, "I'm not sure about this, but since the virtuous concubine is originally from the Cui family, it's normal for her to summon them over to reminisce about the past."
She glanced outside and saw that Madam Cao and the others had disappeared. She said to the two people in front of her, "After all the commotion just now, we still have to serve the Empress Dowager later. Why don't we rest for a while to avoid getting too tired and making mistakes at night."
Madam Lin said, "Madam Rongguo is right. Then we will go back first."
The Qiyun Hall is divided into the main hall and four side halls in the east, south, west and north. Rong Yue, Tang Ning and the others were assigned to the east side hall. The palace servants had already cleaned up the place and laid out all the necessary things. After the greetings, all the palace servants withdrew, and Yue Jian and Shi Lan stayed outside.
Qian Qiyue walked around inside and came out, whispering, "This side hall is really small."
After muttering something about Emperor An being stingy, she couldn't wait to lower her voice and said, "Tang Ning, you asked me to pull Fu Jinrou over just now, just to find an opportunity to teach her a lesson?"
Rong Yue walked over and sat down next to her: "Why does Tang Ning teach her a lesson? With her temper, someone will naturally teach her a lesson."
"But just now..."
Qian Qiyue was confused, she clearly saw Yuejian take action.
Rong Yue also guessed that Qian Qiyue was talking about Fu Jinrou's fall. Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she could guess Tang Ning's intention: "Tang Ning is trying to make amends for Madam Fu."
"Make up for it?" Qian Qiyue was puzzled.
Rong Yue explained, "For some reason, Madam Fu developed a grudge against Fu Jinrou, and she manipulated her to cause her to behave improperly in front of the palace. Fu Jinrou didn't notice it before, but she will naturally see it once she returns."
"I see that you and Tang Ning have different attitudes towards Fu Jinrou. She has been trying to sow discord between you and Tang Ning, and even dared to act in favor of Princess Huan in front of the Queen Mother. It seems she is not someone to be easily dealt with. If she knew that Madam Fu had harmed her, she would probably seek revenge in every possible way."
Tang Ning nodded beside him: "Aunt is right, the Queen Mother and His Majesty summoned us to the palace for unclear purposes. Madam Fu looks like she wants Fu Jinrou to lose face, but given Fu Jinrou's personality, if she takes action, she might cause trouble."
"This is the imperial palace. If something happens to Madam Fu, the entire Fu family will be implicated, and perhaps the Cao family as well."
Old Madam Fu had said before that Madam Fu was not logical and was not careful about the details when doing things.
She was only concerned about embarrassing Fu Jinrou and making a fool of herself. If she didn't make amends for her and smooth over what had just happened, if Fu Jinrou really wanted to take some revenge, Mrs. Fu might not be able to bear it.
Tang Ning owed Madam Fu a favor, so naturally he couldn't let Madam Fu bring trouble to the Fu family and the old lady.
Qian Qiyue said, "But there were so many people there just now, what if someone said..."
Tang Ning smiled and said, "Among those who just saw Fu Jinrou embarrassed, Madam Cao has a close relationship with the Fu family, so you and I won't say anything. Madam Lin is very quiet, and although Madam Liang's family has some grudges against us, there's no need to offend the Fu family."
"As for Prince Ji's concubine, she is a smart person and won't say anything that shouldn't be said. People in the Queen Mother's Palace won't say anything either."
Qian Qiyue said, "Then there is also Princess Huan."
Tang Ning smiled and said, "Princess Huan is a domineering and harsh-tongued woman. She has insulted Fu Jinrou several times before, and the hatred has long been formed. Even if she scolds Fu Jinrou in front of her, saying that ugly people are often mischievous, what do you think Fu Jinrou will think?"
Qian Qiyue was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.
With Fu Jinrou's personality, she would probably just think that Princess Huan was humiliating her casually and wouldn't think about anything else at all.
Qian Qiyue plopped down next to Tang Ning: "I thought you were deliberately teaching Fu Jinrou a lesson. I didn't realize before that she is really treacherous. She can say a word in a roundabout way and is always trying to set traps for me and sow discord between us."
"She actually said my Ruyi Hundred Flowers Hairpin was not good. I even hired a medicine woman for her. What a waste of my fine jade!"
Why didn't she die of illness?
