Princess Ronghe ignored the girl who was dragged out by the guards and was still crying "Girl, help me!" and quickly forced a smile while sincerely apologizing to the Third Lady and Chen Afu.
Chen Ahfu pretended not to hear, while the third wife criticized Feng Miaohua in a sarcastic way, saying that she was uneducated, unvirtuous, cruel and vicious at a young age, and would have a hard time getting married in the future, etc. Ronghe was so angry that he just stared blankly, and Feng Miaohua burst into tears.
This banquet brought together almost all the aristocratic families in the capital. After hearing what the Third Lady said, it would be difficult for Feng Miaohua to find a good marriage in the future, unless the marriage was granted.
As the host, Princess An also apologized to Mrs. Chu San and Chen Afu. She cursed Rong Zhao a thousand times in her heart, thinking that it was Rong Zhao who brought bad luck to the An Palace. She had hosted the Lotus Banquet for more than ten years, but this was the first time such a thing happened.
Yinghui and Li Ziqi, who were unwilling to offend Feng Miaohua at first, explained in a low voice and embarrassedly that they were frightened just now, but only now remembered that it was indeed the girl who deliberately burned the person.
Chen Afu also thanked the Sixth Princess Li Cheng and Zhu Ying'er for their outspokenness. Li Cheng had a good relationship with Xiao Shiyi and was a princess, so she was not afraid that Feng Meihua would help Chu Hanyan. But it was rare for Zhu Ying'er to help Chu Hanyan like this. Thinking that in the future, he would invite Zhu Ying'er to play at home more often and train her to be the closest friend of Miss Chu.
During the meal, Xiao Eleven did not go to the outer courtyard, but sat next to Chu Hanyan, helping her to serve the food and coaxing her to eat more.
To outsiders, Chu Hanyan's left hand was injured. If it was her right hand, the Eleventh Prince would definitely feed her with his own hands. Although it was a bit excessive, the Eleventh Prince was now the most beloved prince by the Emperor, the Empress, and the Crown Prince, and no one dared to say "no" blatantly.
Chen Ahfu took some time to hold Xiao Yuer and whispered a few words to her in a place far from people. She had seen that the Golden Swallow was angry and was afraid that it would go to harm Feng Miaohua. Remind it that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. This revenge will definitely be taken, but the Golden Swallow cannot attack immediately. She was not worried that Feng Miaohua would be hurt, but she was afraid that someone would be suspicious. Why would the bird attack her when she went against them? The special relationship between their Chu family and the bird must not be known to outsiders.
Just as Jin Yanzi was thinking about pecking two holes in the back of Feng Miaohua's hand, she heard what her master said and chirped, "Okay, I'll keep this account for now. But I have to make that damn girl lose money to avoid disaster. I'm going to steal from her house tonight."
"Okay, steal more." This was the first time that Chen Afu encouraged Jin Yanzi to steal things, and to steal more.
The Chu family patiently finished lunch, and had no mood to watch the highlight after dinner - the talent show of boys and girls, so they all said goodbye and went home. Mrs. Chu and Chen Afu had already quietly discussed that Mrs. Chu would go directly to the palace to see the Queen Mother. Chen Afu originally wanted to go to Kunning Palace to complain, but thinking that Chu Hanyan was frightened and couldn't leave her for a moment, he took the children home directly, and kept holding the little girl in his arms.
Xiao Shiyi and Li Cheng also returned to the palace. They were anxious to complain to the emperor and the queen.
In the carriage, Li Cheng saw that Xiao Shiyi's mouth was pursed into a slit, and her chest was still rising and falling, obviously she was still angry. He advised, "Royal brother, please stop being angry, Miss Chu's hand is not seriously injured. No one will dare to bully her anymore with you as your support."
Little Eleven shook his head and said sadly, "Yan'er is very kind, very gentle, and timid. Things in the world are unpredictable, who knows what kind of people and things she will encounter in the future. I am really worried. If Madam Chu and I are not by her side, what will she do if she is bullied again? When I think of her being bullied and crying sadly, my heart aches terribly..."
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, his eyes lit up, and he said, "How about I go and ask my mother to marry Sister Yan'er. If she becomes my wife, no one will dare to bully her anymore."
Li Cheng was startled and said in surprise, "Brother, you are only eight years old this year. How can you get married at the age of eight? I heard that our brothers were not allowed to get married until they were fifteen years old. Then they got married when they were sixteen or seventeen years old."
Little Eleven said stubbornly, "Eight years old is not young. Chen Shiying married my grandmother when he was five years old..."
He also thought that when he was a child, he regretted not being his mother's son-in-law. Now it seems that it is a good thing that he did not become his mother's son-in-law, otherwise what would happen to sister Yan'er. Mother is strong, even if she leaves me, she will live well. But sister Yan'er is not so good, she will be bullied if she leaves me and mother. Besides, if the man she marries in the future is not good, she will be bullied even more... When he thought of sister Yan'er marrying another man, his heart ached even more. He also strengthened his confidence to catch sister Yan'er as soon as possible, if someone else got there first, he would be very sad.
Seeing the determined look in the eyes of his eleventh brother, Li Cheng felt that something was wrong and it was not appropriate to persuade him anymore.
After entering the palace, they went directly to Kunning Palace where Queen Shan lived. The emperor was also there, talking to Queen Shan.
Although Xiaoyi has only been in the palace for half a year, she can see that her mother doesn't like her father coming to the palace where she lives. When her father comes, she can't go to the small Buddhist temple to study Buddhism, and she has to say things she doesn't like. Maybe her father hopes to get some peace here with her mother, so he often comes to see her, especially during this period.
Xiao Shiyi and Li Cheng paid their respects to the Emperor and the Empress, and Li Cheng then told them how Feng Miaohua had bullied Chu Hanyan and how she and the maid had scalded Chu Hanyan's hands and caused blisters.
She witnessed this incident with her own eyes, so she described it in great detail.
The emperor already knew that Rong Zhao had lost someone once, and he was worried that the censor who had nothing to do tomorrow would definitely impeach Rong Zhao for provoking the "Bird Fairy" again. What should he do? Now he heard that Feng Miaohua did this again, and she was bullying the Chu family. His own daughter and granddaughter, he really couldn't rest easy.
Queen Shan's face darkened when she heard what happened. She hated those dark and secretive methods that harmed people the most. Her eldest son was crippled and injured because of them. If Master Wuzhi hadn't got the magic medicine, her eldest son would have been finished. Even though she was so low-key and forbearing in the past, she was often framed and bullied.
Moreover, the Chu family had been very kind to their eldest and second sons. The second son often told Miss Chu how good their relationship was. She knew in her heart that the second son actually had a better relationship with Madam Chu, but she didn't tell her much because she was afraid that her biological mother would feel uncomfortable.
She has been chanting Buddha for more than 20 years, and knows that good and evil will be rewarded, and that one should repay kindness. But she also knows that these things are not talked about in the palace, and she didn't see that the emperor had already regretted it, and had deceived Chu Guangche for so many years, and he would continue to deceive him.
Xiao Shiyi, just be careful.
