"It was you. Second brother was just trying to pick up the ball, and it was you who stretched out your leg." Song Nongyu said.
"Hiss, if you keep talking nonsense, which eye did you see it with?" Song Baiqing stretched out his hand and clenched his fist and said to Song Nongyu.
Song Nongyu was startled by his appearance and turned to look at Meng Qi with a nervous look on her little face.
Ms. Zhang squeezed in and picked up a handkerchief to wipe Song Bairan's lips. Meng Qi slapped her in the face, "You're a dead man. Don't you know what your responsibilities are? Where have you gone to get away from it?"
The slap was so loud that everyone was stunned. Concubine Lian, who came after hearing the news, was also stunned. However, she did not think much about it. She walked forward and took Song Bairan into her arms. Seeing that the child's upper lip was swollen, her heart sank.
"Princess Rui, what you said is inappropriate. Today is the Queen's wedding day. It would be unfilial of you to keep doing this."
Lady Xu stood behind Song Baiqing, looking as if she was enjoying the show.
At this time, Song Baimo, who was still in a daze, said to Meng Qi, "Mother, it was this lady who kicked my second brother's ball away just now, so I went to pick it up."
Concubine Xu was slightly startled when she heard Song Baimo say this, then she said, "I slipped, it was just an accident. It was just a ball. Everyone was playing with it, and no one picked up other people's balls when they rolled out. But..." She sighed again, "There are so many people here today, it's inevitable that there will be bumps. Princess Rui really loves her son, but there's no need to be so angry. It's so heartless."
Meng Qi turned around and slapped Concubine Xu in the face before anyone could react.
The Empress, accompanied by Consort Xian and Consort Xiang, was walking over when they saw Meng Qi's move. They were all stunned. Isn't this Meng too bold? She dared to hit a concubine in Kunning Palace.
Concubine Xu was stunned by Meng Qi's blow. After a while, she covered her face and said angrily, "You are so bold! What gives you the right to hit me? What qualifications do you have?"
Before Meng Qi could say anything, Concubine Lian stood up and looked at Song Baimo first, "Brother Mo, look carefully, it was this lady who kicked your second brother's ball out?"
Song Baimo nodded and looked at Princess Aihua again, "Did my cousin see it too?"
Aihua first glanced at the Crown Princess, then nodded.
Concubine Lian stepped forward slowly, "You are right, Princess Rui is indeed not qualified to attack you."
Concubine Xu was about to speak when Concubine Lian reached out and slapped her on the other side of the face. "She doesn't have the qualifications, but I do, right?"
The Empress frowned. She had known Concubine Lian for so long, but this was the first time she saw her hit someone, and it happened in public, and the person she hit was a beauty.
"What's going on? Can we call the imperial physician?" The Queen Mother stepped forward and asked.
Aunt Sang replied that she had passed the message on.
The Queen looked at Song Bairan, turned around and looked around, "What's going on?"
The maid in charge of this game stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this game is about who can kick the most balls into the fence within the allotted time. When it was Prince Rui's second son's turn, the ball rolled out before he could kick it. He went to pick it up, but somehow he fell. We servants really didn't see it clearly."
The Queen glanced at Princess Aihua, and the Crown Princess stepped forward and put her arm around her daughter's shoulders. "Did you see that it was Concubine Xu who kicked Ran's ball out?"
Aihua nodded. "Sister Yu and I stood over here and watched them play. Originally, cousin Ran wasn't going to play because he was too young. But cousin Qing said everyone younger than him could play, so he just wanted to play. Later, Concubine Xu came over to watch the fun. She stood behind cousin Ran, and I don't know if she slipped, but the ball rolled out anyway."
The Crown Princess looked at the Queen and said, "I'm afraid Concubine Xu really slipped."
"It's understandable that your feet slipped, but it's unacceptable that your mouth also slipped, don't you think, Your Majesty?" Concubine Lian turned around and saluted the Queen.
"Come here, take Lady Xu away. You are not allowed to leave the courtyard without my order."
Concubine Xu first looked at the imperial concubine, then lowered her head and said nothing, following the housekeeper aunt out.
Meng Qi had been looking at Concubine Xu. No, why did she see that when Concubine Xu looked at the Imperial Concubine, the corners of her mouth curved slightly towards the Imperial Concubine, and she didn't show any displeasure at the punishment of her own people.
"I know you are eager to protect your son, but Concubine Xu is your stepmother after all. How can you do that to her?" The Queen frowned and said to Meng Qi.
Meng Qi bowed and said, "It's my wife who is too impatient."
"The child was injured and we are all worried, but with so many elders here, who wouldn't stand up for him? Don't be so impulsive in the future."
As the queen was speaking, someone announced that the imperial physician was coming.
"It's okay, I just bit my lip with my teeth and it's bleeding. It will be fine after a few days when the swelling goes down."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Princess Duan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Children are naughty and they will get hurt all the time. We were not frightened by the child, but we were frightened by the aura of Sixth Brother's wife. Ouch." After saying this, she patted her chest exaggeratedly.
Meng Qi turned her head to look at her, "I forgot to ask since my second sister-in-law didn't say anything."
"What did you ask me?"
"Your brother Qing stretched out his leg and tripped my brother Ran. How do we handle this?"
"Which eye did you use to see Brother Qing stumble and fall? Maybe he fell because he was running too fast."
"I didn't see it, but Brother Mo saw it. My Brother Mo never lies."
Princess Duan raised her eyebrows, "Brother Qing, was it you who tripped?"
The little fat boy was actually scared when he first saw Song Bairan's swollen lips. Then he saw Meng Qi first beat her female historian and then attacked Concubine Xu. He was so scared that he shrank back and dared not say a word.
