Chapter 387 The Princess Is Talking About You
I thought the other party would just swallow the loss in silence and let the matter go after accepting the compensation. After all, the compensation I gave was quite a lot.
But I didn't expect these people to be so difficult to deal with. Not only did they check and compensate on the spot, they also brought back all the imposters. They opened the boxes and carried them into the palace in a grand manner.
When their emperor found out, he smashed more than a dozen tea sets in the imperial study and even broke his favorite brush...
After seeing Bu Ruo's ruthlessness and Xiao Yulan's excessive doting on his wife, everyone shut their mouths silently, not daring to speak out.
Bu Ruo was satisfied seeing their frustrated looks, and sat there smiling, playing with the teacup in her hand.
"The Emperor has arrived~The Empress has arrived~"
Just as everyone was watching Bu Ruo eating and drinking with her two children as if no one was around, the little eunuch's voice rang out.
The Emperor and Empress of Beining walked in front, looking like a father leading his daughter, followed by two concubines and Guo Shuangwen.
"Master, the one wearing the green palace dress is Concubine Zhang, the sister of Prime Minister Zhang. The other one wearing the yellow palace dress is Concubine Rou, Guo Shuangwen's mother."
Bu Ruo nodded and looked up at Concubine Rou: "Well, she really has the luck of many people, and a lot of it is new. It seems that Concubine Rou has done a lot of bad things recently."
"As for their bellies, they're a bit interesting. Concubine Zhang is pregnant with a boy, and Concubine Rou is pregnant with a girl. But I heard that the entire Beining harem is saying that Concubine Zhang is pregnant with a princess, and Concubine Rou is pregnant with a prince."
Guo Lu looked at Bu Ruo in surprise and asked softly, "But I remember... Didn't the young princess say that Beining's luck has ended and that no prince will be born again?"
Bu Ruo looked at their bellies, which were already five or six months old, and blinked. "Yes, that's why Concubine Zhang's baby will die in her womb and won't even be born. Can you guess... who did this?"
Guo Lu's eyes lit up: "Rou Fei, Rou Fei will definitely take action. Although she has someone else in her heart, she will never allow anyone to cross her path."
"Ever since entering the palace, Imperial Concubine Zhang has claimed illness and rarely served the Emperor. She only lets the Emperor stay overnight once a month or so."
"But for some reason, just that one time every month made the Emperor obsessed with her, as if addicted. In less than half a year, he promoted her to Imperial Concubine and doted on her for many years. Her popularity even surpassed that of Concubine Rou. Even though she had no children for many years, no one could shake her position."
"And this time, the two of them got pregnant at the same time, and the Emperor prioritized everything over Concubine Zhang, leaving Concubine Rou lagging behind."
"Although I grew up in the Beining harem, I've only met Concubine Zhang a handful of times. But she gives me the impression... aside from not having those sorcerous spells, she's no less cunning than Concubine Rou."
As they were talking, the emperor and his companions had already taken their seats. Looking at the farce below, the old emperor did not show any surprise on his face, and it was obvious that he had known about it.
He had only come out now because he wanted to see how far the Regent and Princess of the Great Zhou could go. With the news that the young eunuch passed on from time to time, the old emperor felt that he would faint from anger if he didn't come out soon.
"Prince Regent, Princess Regent, I even welcome you to Beining." The old emperor pointed at the mess below and said angrily, "But... what does this mean?"
Xiao Yulan didn't even get up, but still gave the old emperor a look: "What do you mean? I want to ask what the Emperor of Beining means, what the Beining officials and their families mean."
"From the moment we entered, they said my princess was a vixen who only knew how to seduce men. Not only did they point fingers at my princess, but their words were also quite offensive."
"Since you noble ladies from Beining can't control your mouths, my princess has taken the trouble to teach them a lesson. Speaking of which, they haven't even apologized to me yet. If this happened in the Great Zhou, they would have been dead long ago."
"So my princess is still very kind..."
"As for the one whose tongue was cut off, haha, he actually dared to call my daughter a bastard. Let alone her being an official wife, even if she was the queen, I would kill her."
Seeing that the old emperor looked unhappy and glanced around the hall, the little girl suddenly started giggling.
"Dad, it's not just these few officials' wives who are unruly in Beining."
"Let's count them one by one... Let's not even talk about the old Prime Minister across from us. He kept a scumbag who was promiscuous with both men and women at home. Everyone in Beining knew about it, and now he's getting his comeuppance."
"The one sitting next to him, the one who kept whispering to him, the older man in the gray robe who looked younger, loved to take over other people's wives, especially pregnant ones."
"He has many wives from other families in his house, and several have already committed suicide due to the humiliation. Others are barely surviving for the sake of their unborn children, crying every day and praying to God for his quick death. Tsk, tsk, how pitiful."
"Hey? Why are you glaring at me? Is it possible that what I said is wrong and I've wronged you? Should I send someone to the Dali Temple in your imperial city to check how many people have accused you? If it weren't for Prime Minister Zhang putting pressure on the Dali Temple to protect you, you would have been executed countless times."
"And the one next to you, you, don't bow your head. This princess is talking about you. You are not a good person either. You secretly took your wife's sister who was about to marry your childhood sweetheart, and you also secretly killed her fiancé and threw him into the river. The man's resentful soul is still in your house every day, trying to find a way to kill you."
"Ouch~ Ouch~ Madam... don't be afraid. This princess isn't talking about you. I'm talking about the lady next to you, the one in the crimson dress. How could you be so vicious?"
"Your son finally married the woman he loved, but because she wasn't from your family, you tortured her. In the winter, you made her wash your clothes with icy water for a whole day, and in the summer, you made her kneel in the scorching sun and behave."
"You're not allowed to do anything even for a cup of tea, and you're always scolded and beaten. You're even harder to serve than the Empress Dowager."
"Haven't you ever been someone's daughter-in-law? Did your mother-in-law treat you like this? I was raised by my parents and loved by them. If my parents knew about this, how heartbroken they would be. You are simply a vicious mother-in-law."
"Yes, my lord, I'm talking about your mother. Your wife isn't a hen that doesn't lay eggs, as your mother says. Instead, the eggs in her belly were aborted by your vicious mother with a bowl of medicine before they were even laid."
