It would have been fine if she hadn't put on any makeup, but even her jewelry was so simple, just a jade hairpin. She couldn't even enter the palace on a normal day with such shabby attire. How dare she come here like this?
It's simply a disrespect to Concubine Hui!
It's a pity that she is the future daughter-in-law of Concubine Hui, but she doesn't even know how to please her mother-in-law.
No wonder the King of Qi dislikes her...
Seeing her like this, many people turned their eyes away with a slightly gloomy look. Those in the palace were able to control their expressions, but at this moment they couldn't do so, and their contempt was so blatant.
However, looking down on Baili Feiyue was one thing, but he felt extremely happy in his heart.
Hahahaha, Concubine Hui thought she was so favored by the emperor that she suppressed them all.
Now, he has been slapped in the face by such a tactless and worthless daughter-in-law!
Wow, so refreshing!
"Jing'er, why did you enter the palace wearing this?" Even though the noble Concubine Hui kept telling herself that she had to hold it in for the sake of the overall situation, she couldn't do it.
The last time this ungrateful guy came to see her, he was also dressed in this simple way. If they were meeting in private, she would have let it go, but today is such a big day, who is he showing this to? Could it be for her?
Did you come here today on purpose to bring bad luck to her?
Baili Feiyue shook her head and sighed in embarrassment, "To be honest with you, aunt, I only found out at midnight the day before yesterday that I would have to attend your birthday banquet today. There is only one day in between, and even if I wanted to prepare better clothes and jewelry, I really couldn't make them in a hurry... Even if you didn't tell me, I knew that this outfit of mine was inappropriate, but thinking of your birthday, how could I delay entering the palace to congratulate you on your birthday just because I couldn't make the right clothes in a hurry... I'm sorry, aunt, if I had known that I could also attend your birthday this time, I would definitely not have done this."
"Miss Ling San, the Emperor is holding a birthday party for Concubine Hui. The invitation was sent out half a month ago, and the eunuch sent it door to door. You said you didn't know? Could it be that the eunuch didn't send it to your general's mansion?"
A palace concubine took over the conversation, and was happy to see the joke on their General's Mansion. After all, the Imperial Concubine Hui who was sitting at the top was also from the General's Mansion!
He continued with a cryptic question, "Could it be that Miss Ling San ran off somewhere and forgot about this matter, and wanted to put the blame on the father-in-law? This excuse is too fake."
Baili Feiyue took a few glances at this extremely beautiful concubine and felt that her features looked vaguely familiar. She went over the information she had collected in her mind and then she remembered that this was Princess Ningyang's mother, Concubine Shu!
Thinking about Princess Ningyang who had her tongue cut off, it’s no wonder that Concubine Shu disliked her.
But sorry.
Your daughter is asking for her own death first.
Then the tongue was cut off by Changsun Wuji.
Baili Feiyue could not feel any sympathy for the arrogant Princess Ningyang.
"To reply to Her Majesty Shufei, I really only found out about the palace banquet the night before yesterday. No one in the palace told me before that. Perhaps the eunuch who delivered the invitation missed the General's Mansion." Baili Feiyue spoke very calmly, as if the eunuch had really missed the General's Mansion.
But such words, to everyone's ears, sounded more like lies. The General's Mansion is a very big place. Even if they missed someone else's post, they would not have missed the General's Mansion's post.
How could Concubine Shu let her go?
"Haha, that's easy. Just ask the father-in-law who sent the invitation, and the truth will be revealed, right?"
Baili Feiyue looked at her seriously.
In the case of this concubine, beauty and brains are inversely proportional!
Everyone knows that the eunuch on duty would never dare to miss the general's mansion.
It is understandable that she targeted Baili Feiyue. She could lie for her and expose this scar.
Tsk tsk, this is not her Baili Feiyue’s scar!
But it’s from the Ling Mansion!
Look, Concubine Hui's face is not looking good. This Concubine Shu is still not giving up. No wonder Princess Ningyang had her tongue cut off by Zhangsun Wuji. It is said that this Concubine Shu went to Emperor Jing to cry and complain, but in the end, he could only comfort her.
And then, of course, nothing happened!
If Changsun Wuji can't even handle cutting off a princess' tongue, then it would be a waste of his time as the regent who is feared and avoided by others all these years.
She is happy to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers!
"I did not lie. If I had known this earlier..."
She seemed to have said half of her eager defense, but when she saw the disbelief in everyone's eyes, she gradually stopped talking, bit her lips aggrievedly, looked at Concubine Shu, and said dejectedly as if she had lost all her strength, "Since no one believes me, then... I must have lied."
Hearing Baili Feiyue's admission, Concubine Shu did not show any smugness. This little bitch who caused Ning Yang to have her tongue cut off was so easily...
Concubine Hui, who was sitting on the upper throne, was very satisfied. She thought to herself, Ling Jing, who was so ignorant and tactless, finally did something right!
But she had just praised him in her heart when she heard Baili Feiyue, who she thought had done the right thing, say, "Don't call the eunuch who sent the invitation that day to question him. After all, how could the eunuch miss the invitation?"
A trace of disappointment flashed across her face, "Maybe Madam forgot to tell me..."
This is too serious!
There are so many things that can be dug out!
This is exactly what they heard. Doesn't the General's Mansion like the Third Miss Ling privately?
Thinking about it this way, and considering the aggrieved expression of the woman before, the person in front of me might really not be lying!
Then he thought about how Miss Ling San was betrothed to the King of Qi, and how the King of Qi happened to be close to Miss Ling Er.
The Third Miss Ling had no support or background, and her illegitimate daughter, who had just returned home, was abducted by bandits.
Where are her connections and foothold in that mansion?
But such a person was granted marriage to the King of Qi!
Will the general's wife like her?
At this moment, Concubine Hui hated Baili Feiyue again.
So stupid!
Do you want to make all the dirty things happening in the backyard of the general's mansion known to everyone and destroy the general's mansion?
In her heart, she tried hard to control herself, "Jing'er, auntie believes that you are not lying." She looked at Baili Feiyue with a gentle tone, "Jing'er, although I am your auntie, if you tell lies and slander others, I will be angry. Similarly," she glanced at the concubines who were watching the fun, "if someone slanders you for no reason and stirs up trouble, I will definitely protect you!"
This clearly means that the topic will be killed right here.
It also made it clear that she was intentionally favoring Baili Feiyue.
Baili Feiyue was really convinced.
In this way, Concubine Hui could still hold it in.
What's the point?
But he was also happy to take advantage of the situation and said, "Aunt, everything I said is true and I would never dare to lie."
Eunuch Li was an old man beside Concubine Hui. He was used to reading his master's eyes and finding the right time. "Madam, the time is coming."
Concubine Hui nodded, called a maid over, and said to Baili Feiyue with concern, "Child, you have suffered a lot these years. You can't wear this dress today. I don't have a princess of your age here, but I do have a few sets of clothes that I wore when I was young. Change into them today, and I will order someone to make some clothes for you in the Japanese palace."
"You are the daughter of a general, my dear daughter-in-law, so don't let yourself suffer. If anything happens, I can still make the decision for you since your mother is no longer around."
