As the old lady walked in step by step, Qian Ruolan felt a little scared.

She wondered in her heart whether the old lady had seen her fierce look just now.

Although the Old Lady was not a member of the imperial palace, her status was completely equal to that of the Empress and the Empress Dowager, and she was respected by people from all walks of life.

Perhaps one or two words from the old lady could greatly change her image in everyone's mind.

But after watching the old lady approaching step by step, Qian Ruolan bowed and immediately spoke respectfully.

"Meet the old lady."

Qian Ruoyu was in the same mood as her. Just when Qian Ruoyu was about to meet the old lady, she was held back by the old lady.

"Okay, you don't have to be so polite."

As the Crown Princess, Qian Ruolan had to pay her respects to the old lady, but Qian Ruoyu did not.

This huge difference made Qian Ruolan shocked!

Her face suddenly turned gloomy. What a discriminatory treatment!

You have to know that there is a huge difference between Qian Ruoyu and her. One is the Crown Princess and the other is just a Princess.

Even Qian Ruolan found it hard to accept this kind of differential treatment for a while!

But she had no choice but to face the old lady like this.

The old lady then spoke to him slowly.

"Well, you don't have to be polite. After all, you are the Crown Princess. I can't bear such a politeness from an old woman like you!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Ruolan began to feel even more scared.

These words made her even more frustrated.

The old lady was usually very kind and would hardly say such words to anyone, which made Qian Ruolan feel even more frightened.

Qian Ruolan could only speak politely.

"Old Madam, what are you talking about? You are the only one with the most special status in the court. If you can't afford my gift, who else can?"

"Since the old lady is able to come to my East Palace, it is an honor for my East Palace. It makes my East Palace glorious. Please take a seat, old lady."

As soon as Qian Ruolan finished speaking, she personally brought a stool and placed it in front of the old lady.

The old lady just glanced at the stool and did not sit down directly. Instead, she leaned on her crutches and was simply supported by Qian Ruoyu.

"You don't have to wait for me to sit down. It's rare that you have this kind of heart. I am already very happy."

"But I just happened to come to Qian Ruoyu this time. I didn't expect to come to your East Palace. I guess you didn't embarrass my good grandson, right?"

Qian Ruolan's mouth twitched. Is he here to call for punishment?

She shook her head quickly.

"No, no, no... Old Madam, do you have any misunderstanding? My sister and I are sisters. We both come from the Prime Minister's Mansion. How could we have a quarrel?"

"My dear sister has come all the way to the palace to see me. I am so happy!"

After saying this, a hypocritical smile appeared on Qian Ruolan's face.

But the old lady glanced to the left and right of the table.

"Oh? Since you welcome your sister so much and are so happy, why doesn't your sister even have a place to sit?"

After hearing these words suddenly, Qian Ruolan suddenly realized that Qian Ruoyu had hardly ever sat down since he came in.

The old lady's words once again left Qian Ruolan speechless.

But Qian Ruoyu who was standing by was extremely shocked.

She never thought that her eloquent sister would have no chance to resist the old lady at all.

She had to endure silently whatever the old lady said, not daring to say a word.

Qian Ruoyu only then realized that it seemed that the old lady's status in the palace was not low. Anyone who could directly meet the empress dowager and the queen was obviously of high status.

This made Qian Ruoyu realize that she actually had another backer in the palace, that was the old lady.

The old lady waved her hand.

"Forget it, forget it. You don't have to be like this. I think you were careless too!"

"But what happened to you just now? Are you going to beat up even Yan'er?"

Just as one thing happens, another one comes.

This made Qian Ruolan even more speechless.

I had finally managed to get around Qian Ruoyu's issue, and now Yan'er's issue has come into play.

But in front of Qian Ruolan, Yan'er was just a maid, so Qian Ruolan said indifferently.

"This, Old Lady Jun Yan'er is just a little maid. Yan'er made a mistake just now, so I decided to help my sister teach her a lesson."

"Old Madam, think about these maids and servants. They are arrogant and domineering on weekdays. They don't even take me, the Queen of the East Palace, seriously. They just ran in like that. It's really disgraceful!"

"So I couldn't stand it anymore and decided to help my good sister teach Yan'er a lesson. It's okay if she doesn't understand the rules of the palace, but respecting the master is the most basic thing. She should be taught a lesson. What's wrong with that?"

Qian Ruolan thought that she had said it perfectly and there was no way to find fault with it.

But what can I do? The old lady continued speaking directly.

"You are right, but I want to tell you that I like Yan'er very much, and this maid just helped the old lady and me with something. I asked Yan'er to come here in advance to inform me."

"Since I asked Yan'er to do this, doesn't that mean you said I was inappropriate? Shouldn't I be punished as well?"

After hearing what the old lady said, Qian Ruolan's face turned pale with fright!

She had never thought that the old lady would say something like this. This statement was like an iron barrel that made Qian Ruolan unable to find any fault with it!

And the most important thing is that now it is the Empress of the Eastern Palace who is blaming the Old Lady, which is like stepping on the Queen.

This kind of thing can be considered a small matter or a big matter.

But how could Princess Qian Ruolan, who had been in the inner court of the imperial palace for several months, not know that there were strict taboos in the imperial palace!

A quarrel over a small matter may turn into a big one.

Therefore, Qian Ruolan had no choice but to bow her head.

She quickly said to the old lady.

"This, old lady, is my negligence! I didn't know that Yan'er, the maid, was here to help you report. If I had known earlier, I would definitely not have spoken to Yan'er like that."

"If that's the case, Yan'er has done nothing wrong, so there's no need to punish Yan'er. It seems like I've thought too much. Please forgive me, old lady!"

The old lady nodded slightly after hearing this, and Yan'er also stood next to the old lady.

When Qian Ruoyu saw this appearance, she realized that the old lady was indeed very powerful!

Just like the big boss in the game, it is easy to capture Qian Ruolan.

But being able to make Qian Ruolan take a step back is actually not easy. As for asking Qian Ruolan to apologize, that is completely impossible!
