Chapter 223: Shooting Oneself in the Foot
When Concubine Zhang heard this, she became anxious.
She was a concubine, and according to the rules, she could not go out alone to socialize. Even if she went out with the Crown Princess, there were rules: she could only go with them when there was a grand palace banquet or when there was an important event at the home of a royal relative.
But because she was favored by the Crown Prince and had two sons by her side, she had a strong personality. Therefore, she could do whatever she wanted and go wherever she wanted. Moreover, when she arrived, she was also arrogant and showed off, with more style than the Crown Princess.
As soon as there were signs of trouble, the Crown Princess took action, but the Crown Prince protected him and tried to smooth things over.
The result was that what she said was of no use at all. Instead, she lost face and Concubine Zhang became even more arrogant.
I just don't care about it.
Of course the Queen knew about it, but... if the Crown Prince wanted to keep his position secure, he had to have a son. The Crown Princess was unable to give birth, so, to give Concubine Zhang some respect, she could only pretend she didn't know.
Concubine Zhang's arrogance has become a habit. Now she is being ridiculed by Mo Yi in public. How can she bear it? "What do you mean?!"
The sound is sharp!
Mo Yi frowned and covered his ears with his hands...
The Crown Princess was secretly moved. She felt that Concubine Zhang might end up shooting herself in the foot today, so she stopped trying to persuade her.
As expected, Mo Yi said slowly, "What this princess means is that you are a concubine, and you don't even have the opportunity to go out and socialize on weekdays... Where did you hear this news? You have nothing to do, so you made it up yourself, right?"
No matter how much the Crown Prince favors Concubine Zhang, he will not give her the power to manage the household, so she really has nothing to do on weekdays.
"As for what Princess Zhou Li wears... Oh, I forgot. Zhou Li is the principal wife of the King of Qi. She will come to visit the Crown Princess. You may have seen her when you were serving her."
This is really a show of no mercy.
Everyone looked at each other, all very nervous. Concubine Zhang was an outlier among them, as most people would only say half of what they said.
But the prince dotes on her, so no matter what anyone here thinks, who dares not be respectful and polite to her?
"You're just a concubine, what's so great about that?" Concubine Zhang was so angry that her face turned red, and she showed no mercy.
That's quite harsh.
No one here is willing to be a concubine unless they have no other choice.
Although the position of the Princess of Qi cannot be generalized, but it is used to make fun of, and some people say...
"Although Mo Yi is a commoner, she is also the position of a super first-class princess. Concubine Zhang, your family background may not be low, but to put it nicely, you are a concubine. To put it bluntly... oh, it's the New Year, I won't say anything bad. It's just... you have no right to shout in front of this princess."
Mo Yi spoke slowly and gently. She felt that her current performance had some of Mo Yuan's style... Not bad, really.
Everyone was dumbfounded...
This is the prince's favorite! She also gave birth to the prince's eldest son... The queen treated her with great courtesy.
Concubine Zhang was so angry that she couldn't speak and was almost in tears.
The Crown Princess appropriately covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and the curvature of her eyes showed her happy mood.
As a result, Mo Yi said again: "You even dare to ignore the words of the Crown Princess...Does Your Highness know that you have no respect for the rules of respect and courtesy?"
She, she is so arrogant? Concubine Zhang is totally at a loss for words...
"Oh, what's going on?" Princess Yu'an came over with a smile, "It's New Year's Day, why are you so angry? Okay, okay, for my sake, don't say anything."
The Crown Princess put down her handkerchief and said, "Zhang, please go back to your own courtyard first!"
Concubine Zhang really couldn't make a scene anymore. If she stayed any longer, she would burst into tears. So she snorted coldly, threw her sleeves and left.
"Fifth sister-in-law, isn't it too light for you to punish her like this? If the concubine in our Prince Qi's Mansion dares to do so, I will not show mercy!" Mo Yi said with a smile.
Princess Yu'an looked at her secretly and thought that this bitch was quite powerful.
The Crown Princess also laughed, "Don't be angry, I'll tell the Crown Prince later and he will definitely punish her."
Mo Yi turned to the Fourth and Ninth Princesses and said, "Princess Zhou, I really don't know them. After entering the mansion, no one has mentioned them. How about I serve you two tea and you two start the conversation!"
The fourth princess blushed and said, "We were just chatting casually, we dare not make up anything."
The Ninth Princess lowered her head, looked sullen and said nothing.
Mo Yi also laughed, "Yes, respect and seniority must be discussed."
"Seventh brother's sister-in-law, come and have some tea." The Crown Princess said quickly.
Princess Yu'an said with a smile, "The snacks at the Crown Prince's house are quite good. Sister Qi, please try them quickly... Sister Qi, you just came in, so you don't know. We are no different from ordinary families. It's normal to tell jokes and quarrel. Those who came today are all close friends. Don't take it seriously if they say more or less."
Mo Yi still smiled, "I usually don't talk much, I can barely say a few words a day. I just feel: what's the use of a few gossips? If I hear something unpleasant, I can't stand it, but I still have the prince to support me. The prince brought a sedan chair here, he will not watch me suffer injustice, right?"
Princess Yu'an laughed, "That's true. Not to mention Seventh Brother, even I wouldn't watch it.
The Fourth Princess and the Ninth Princess thought of that bastard and regretted their impulsiveness today. "Let's go play mahjong..." The two of them hid.
"Sister-in-law Xiao Qi, what you said just now is right!" Princess Yu'an sat down next to Mo Yi and helped her get a plate of snacks. "This is delicious... That concubine Zhang is too arrogant. I have disliked her for a long time. Although she sometimes speaks without depth, she is very well behaved in front of the crown prince.
Mother, you gave her some face because she gave birth to a son for the prince, but she went too far. Sister-in-law, don't spoil her too much. It will be troublesome if she develops bad habits. I will tell mother and the prince later."
The Crown Princess said, "Mother, how many things are there every day? Don't bother him with these things. I will tell the Crown Prince later."
Princess Yu'an smiled and didn't mention it. "Sister-in-law Xiaoqi, you don't know that the Crown Prince has a dance troupe at home. Some of the songs and dances were choreographed by the Crown Prince. They are quite brilliant! I also have one at home, and I'll show it to you when you come back.
The Yongan County Prince's group has the largest number of people, and sometimes they are even arranged to dance in the palace. Seventh brother, you are too dull, all you do is fight and kill, or eat meat and drink. The mansion is very dull, there is nothing. Later, you can go around our families and get one if you like any kind. "
Mo Yi nodded, "I'll see it later."
"When you're done with this, come over to my house and play! I'm going to play cards."
Seeing Yu'an leave, the Crown Princess said, "The four princesses and the others are not targeting you. Think about it, Qi Lang was very cruel back then..."
"It's still not cruel enough. Haven't you learned your lesson?" Mo Yi said indifferently.
"You always surprise people." The Crown Princess said with a smile.
The atmosphere became lively again. Some people came over to talk to the Crown Princess and Mo Yi. They talked about clothes, spring flowers, new tea coming down, etc.
After staying for a while, news came from the front that Li Jing said he was leaving.
The Crown Princess sighed, "You really don't want to stay for dinner?"
"I have a lot of things to do at home. And, as you can see, I'm not very sociable. I'll come to see you alone later!"
"Okay, I'm willing to get along with someone like you..." the Crown Princess whispered.
"Me too!" Mo Yi said with a smile.
