"Sister-in-law, why are you suppressing my nephew's wife? You know she and Liu Zhao don't have any children yet, but you're adding someone to their room at this time. You're deliberately trying to make things difficult for them, right?"
Princess Huyang never backed down from the Pei family.
In front of the Pei family, even if they were unreasonable, they would still make a scene. When they were right, it was even more outrageous, and they might even lift the roof off the house.
Pei, as a sister-in-law, would be really pissed off if she met a sister-in-law like Huyang.
People who are a little weak and thin-skinned really can't deal with someone like Hu Yang who is unreasonable and unreasonable.
Pei is not a soft-hearted person, nor is she thin-skinned.
So she has been alive and well all these years and has not been angered to death by Hu Yang.
Even if she died of anger one day, it would definitely not be Hu Yang who killed her.
This is the pride of being Princess Ning.
It's so embarrassing for a princess to be angered to death by her sister-in-law.
For the strong-willed Pei, this was an absolutely unacceptable fact.
Bang!
Pei slammed her hand on the table. "Huyang, don't forget where we are. This is the palace. Do you have the right to speak?"
"This is my brother's residence. Why don't I have a say?"
Pei smiled contemptuously, "Then let the prince judge the matter! This princess doesn't believe that the prince can stand on your side."
Hu Yang yelled, "I, I...Okay, sister-in-law, you picked this time to cause trouble, right? You took advantage of my brother's absence and wanted to bully me, but I tell you, no way. I'll go to the palace and tell my mother to deal with you."
Gu Jiu couldn't bear to look at it.
Huyang, you should stand up for yourself. You are in your forties and you still have to look for your mother when you have a quarrel.
Promise!
Pei sneered, "No matter who you find, the result will be the same. These people were all given to us by the Empress. I don't believe that you can make the Empress revoke her order just by entering the palace."
Hu Yang gnashed his teeth, filled with hatred, "You must have spread rumors in front of Mother, so Mother gave me the beauty as a reward."
Pei rolled her eyes. "Huyang, let me advise you: you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. Your Majesty has her own ideas, and I, the Princess, cannot influence her."
Also, the fact that Her Majesty has bestowed beauties upon several of her children is a sign of Her Majesty's love for her grandchildren and is also a matter of internal affairs within the palace. What does it have to do with you? Don't meddle in other people's business.
Hu Yang was furious. "You actually called me a dog? Pei, don't think you can bully me just because my brother is away. If you make me angry, I won't give you face."
Pei sneered, "When have you ever given this princess face? Huyang, this princess has tolerated you for a long time, don't force me."
Hu Yang rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'm just forcing you, what can you do to me?"
Pei's cheek twitched, and a man was split in half.
Half of them were shouting, "Hit her, hit her, she deserves a beating."
Half of her was shouting, "Don't be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil." After all, she was a princess, the prince's biological sister. If she really hit her and the queen asked about it, it would be difficult to handle.
Moreover, if a sister-in-law beats her younger sister-in-law, no matter whether she is right or wrong, it will be considered wrong if it gets out.
The world is so biased.
The world doesn't need the truth.
What they believe is the truth.
Seeing the situation getting out of control, Gu Jiu sighed secretly.
Huyang is such a bad teammate, we really can’t have any hope for her.
She stood up and said, "Mother, Aunt Huyang ate some irritating food a few days ago and is very angry. Please don't argue with her."
After saying that, he pulled Huyang outside.
"Don't pull me in. The problem hasn't been resolved yet. What are you pulling me in for?"
Huyang was dissatisfied, unhappy, and unhappy. All kinds of dissatisfaction.
Gu Jiu secretly winked at her and then pulled her away.
Throughout the process, Pei did not stop him.
Pei was afraid that once she opened her mouth, she would say something harsh and irreversible, and the situation would then be very difficult to deal with.
When Ouyang Fu saw this, she felt very upset.
Gu Jiu was too smart. He actually dragged Hu Yang away like that?
Is this considered escaping from a quarrel?
Can't stay here any longer.
Ouyang Fu made a decision immediately.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts. Quick, help me back."
The maid was anxious and worried, "Madam, are you okay?"
"Help me back to lie down, it hurts so much."
The maids and old women helped Ouyang Fu leave.
Xiao Qin'er glared at him and asked, "Are you shameless?"
They all ran away, leaving her alone to bear the firepower, and she couldn't handle it.
She thought quickly and said, "My eldest brother must be crying because he can't see me. Mother, I will go back and comfort my eldest brother first, and then come to pay my respects."
After saying that, she didn't care about Pei's thoughts and ran away in a hurry.
Pei was so angry that she couldn't speak. She just picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it!
"How dare you! One, two, two, do you take this princess seriously?"
"Princess, calm down."
Pei's eyes were bloodshot and she was angry.
She glanced at the women she had bestowed upon her, "All of you, step aside. This princess will take care of you."
The eight women bestowed upon the palace had all had their eyes broadened today.
In their eyes, it was originally a very simple matter. They thought that as long as the princess gave the order, the ladies would obediently take them away.
However, the intensity of the struggle between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law in the palace is shocking and frightening.
None of the three ladies is easy to deal with.
Especially the eldest lady, who openly said that she wanted to sell them out. Not only did she not give face to the princess, she didn't even give face to the concubine.
Is this really a bold move?
What about filial piety?
Aren’t you afraid of being criticized by everyone?
They secretly looked towards Pei.
The situation is dangerous!
It used to be a very happy thing with a bright future, but now I feel like the future is bleak.
Can I still get what I want?
Even if I am sent to the young master's room, can I be favored by him?
One glance at the three ladies revealed that each was formidable, and none of them was afraid of anything.
It can be said that he has grasped the essence of saying one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.
If things get out of hand, they won't be afraid of falling out.
This is scary.
This is not a royal palace, this is clearly a den of dragons and tigers!
When Pei sent them away, they didn't dare to say anything and left obediently.
Maids and old women served Pei.
"Princess, take care of yourself and don't get too angry."
Pei gritted her teeth, "One or two, they've grown so powerful that they even dare to disobey the orders of this princess and the queen."
The maid said, "Actually, the main responsibility lies with Princess Huyang."
Pei nodded repeatedly, "That's right. Huyang is a troublemaker. She always ruins my plans. It's really unreasonable. I've tolerated her for decades, and I really don't want to put up with her any longer."
The maidservant whispered, "Princess Huyang is the prince's biological sister after all. Your Majesty should be patient. Otherwise, both the prince and your Majesty will be unhappy."
"They are unhappy, and I am even more unhappy. Has anyone of them ever cared about what I think?"
Pei said angrily.
The maid lowered her head and dared not say a word.
Pei gritted her teeth and asked, "Send someone to see where the Huyang people are and whether they are with the eldest lady. Also, when the two young masters return, tell them to come over. I have something to tell them."
"As you command."
…
Liu Yi felt very happy when he returned home.
He had known for several days that the princess would enter the palace today. When she returned, she would bring back the beauty gifted by the Concubine Shu.
He returned to the palace happily. As soon as he entered the door, he asked the servant beside him, "What's going on in the palace today?"
"Sir, the princess has brought someone back."
Liu Yi was overjoyed.
Then the servants said, "It seems the ladies and the princess parted on bad terms. The princess told the young master to go to Chunhe Hall as soon as he returned."
Liu Yi paused in his tracks and left in a bad mood. Didn’t they mean that they were quarreling over the beauty who was given as a reward?
What should I do?
He originally hoped that the princess would deal with Xiao Qin'er.
As a result, Xiao Qin'er was not dealt with, and he had to deal with the matter personally.
Liu Yi felt a little resentful.
He gritted his teeth and went to Chunhetang.
When Princess Pei saw Liu Yi, she began to complain.
"...It's really outrageous. There are no rules or manners. They are simply unfilial..."
"Mother, calm down!"
Liu Yi was busy trying to persuade him.
After venting for a while, Pei finally felt better.
"The person has been brought back. Xiao Qin'er doesn't care about this matter. You can choose it yourself. Once you have chosen, you can take it back."
Liu Yi looked embarrassed, but when he saw eight beautiful girls standing in front of him, all his embarrassment and hesitation were forgotten.
This one is good, with a thin waist.
That's great, long legs.
The one on the left is better, with bigger breasts.
The one on the right is also good, with a first-class appearance.
The eight beauties have their own merits and styles.
Liu Yi was moved.
The people chosen by Concubine Shu are indeed not bad.
Pei observed Liu Yi's reaction and reminded him, "You pick three. The rest will be divided between your eldest brother and second brother."
Liu Yi laughed, "Mother, my elder brother doesn't like women, it would be a waste to give him such things. Besides, my elder sister-in-law is a jealous woman. How can these delicate beauties fall into her hands? They are all beauties bestowed by the Empress. Seeing them suffer, I cannot bear it."
"absurd!
Pei scolded Liu Yi angrily, "According to what you said, you want to take all these people back and keep them all to yourself. You are just trying to eat all the food for yourself. If you really follow your will, people will say that I am unfair and biased towards you. You can only choose three, and you are not allowed to have any other thoughts."
Liu Yi was disappointed, "My son wants to pick another one."
Pei snorted coldly, "Didn't you hear what this princess said? You can only choose one."
Liu Yi was helpless and sighed.
He ordered three people, one with long legs, one with big breasts, and one with beautiful face.
"My son wants all three of them."
Pei nodded. "Now that you've chosen someone, take them back. If Xiao Qin'er makes a fuss, be careful not to make too much noise. Otherwise, your in-laws will come and beat you up."
Liu Yi laughed heartily, feeling the beauty's good mood, which diluted his uneasiness about facing Xiao Qin'er.
"Don't worry, mother. I can handle this little thing well."
Pei waved her hand and sent him away.
…
Liu Yi returned to the West Garden with the three beauties.
When he entered the room, he secretly asked the doorman, "What is the lady busy with?"
"Sir, the lady is playing with the eldest brother."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
He first took the three beauties downstairs to settle them down, and then went to see Xiao Qin'er.
Little did he know that Xiao Qin'er had already found out about the fact that he had taken in three beauties.
As soon as he entered the door, a hidden weapon flew towards his face.
Liu Yi was startled.
It was the eunuch Wang Shun who reacted quickly and pulled Liu Yi away in time, saving him from a bloody disaster.
Bang!
The hidden weapon fell to the ground and shattered.
It turned out to be a teacup.
When Liu Yi saw this, he was furious, "Are you trying to murder your husband?"
Xiao Qin'er stared at him angrily, "What do you mean by bringing three women back? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
Liu Yi felt guilty.
But when he saw the broken pieces of teacup on the ground, he became tough again.
"I'm the grandson of the emperor, so taking a concubine is nothing. Why are you making such a fuss? Look at how many women my father has taken in over the years. Has my mother ever said anything?"
Xiao Qin'er smiled coldly, "Are you the father? You are not a prince, you don't even have a title, what qualifications do you have to take a concubine?"
Liu Yi roared, "Ridiculous! Although I don't have a title, I am the grandson of the emperor, and it is only natural for me to take a concubine. Besides, she is a gift from the Empress, so you have to accept her even if you don't want to. If you insist on making trouble, I will accompany you to the end."
Xiao Qin'er gritted her teeth and said, "You're such a good fellow, Liu Yi. Have you forgotten everything you said to me before we got married?"
Liu Yi stiffened his neck and said, "People change. What I said before doesn't count now."
"You bastard!" Xiao Qin'er was so angry that she picked up the teapot and threw it at Liu Yi.
The teapot was heavy and Xiao Qin'er had no aim, so the teapot fell to the ground halfway and pieces flew everywhere.
A fragment passed by Liu Yi's ear, scratching the skin a little.
Liu Yi touched his ear and felt pain.
He was so angry that he jumped up and down, pointing at Xiao Qin'er and scolding her, "You are a jealous woman, the most jealous woman in the world. This young master is telling you now, whether you agree or not, I am determined to take this concubine.
It would be best if you accept it, but I don't mind if you don't. If you dare to treat these three harshly, or sell them out, I will not forgive you."
After saying these harsh words, Liu Yi turned around and left.
Xiao Qin'er was so angry and sad that she threw herself on the table and started crying. Everyone in the yard could hear her.
Liu Yi was angry and remained unmoved even when he heard Xiao Qin'er crying.
He even found Xiao Qin'er annoying.
Farmers who work hard in the fields would think of taking a concubine if they harvested an extra few buckets of rice.
It is ridiculous that he, the grandson of the emperor, is not allowed to take concubines.
Only a jealous woman like Xiao Qin'er could do such a thing.
Therefore, it is not a good idea to marry a woman of equal social status, as she is too strong.
If a woman is too strong, how can a man take charge and save face?
Liu Yi walked into the side room with dissatisfaction and a hint of hatred towards Xiao Qin'er.
Tonight, he will be the groom and enjoy the beauty.
…
Liu Zhao returned to the palace after dark.
The servant reported and asked him to go to Chunhe Hall.
Liu Zhao asked, "What's going on in Chunhe Hall?"
The servant said he didn't know, but only knew that the princess asked him to come over as soon as she returned.
Liu Zhao hesitated for a moment and turned to Chunhe Hall.
The mother and son met and chatted for a while.
Then, Pei explained her purpose and called out the remaining five beauties for Liu Zhao to review.
"Your fourth brother has already chosen three people. You can also choose three to take back with you. These are all carefully selected by the Empress for you brothers."
Liu Zhao glanced at the beauties.
The beauties were also secretly looking at him.
The beauties who had originally backed off because of Gu Jiu's ferocity, began to get restless again after seeing Liu Zhao, and they felt itchy in their hearts.
At this moment, Liu Zhao thought of Gu Jiu.
If he dared to bring the beauty back, Gu Jiu would definitely tear him apart.
The desire to survive made Liu Zhao make a decisive decision, "Thank you for your kindness, mother. I don't need it."
Pei frowned, "Ridiculous! How can a grandson of the emperor not have a few beautiful concubines around him? Besides, you and your wife have been married for many years, and your wife's pregnancy has not moved. How can that be right? Hurry up and pick three to take back with you, and try to get her pregnant soon."
Liu Zhao smiled and said, "There is no rule stipulating how many concubines a grandson of the emperor must take. My son is busy and has no time to think about these things. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
He made a move to stand up.
Pei shouted angrily, "Stop right there! Did I ever ask you to leave?"
Pei was very angry.
Everyone says that she is biased. Look at Liu Zhao's attitude. He is against her in everything. How can she not be biased?
Everyone likes obedient children. It's human nature.
No one likes a child who is naughty and never obeys his elders.
In Pei's eyes, Liu Zhao was that naughty child whom she disliked very much.
Liu Zhao asked, "Does mother have any other instructions?"
Pei's face was stern, and she snorted coldly before saying, "You refuse the beauty bestowed upon you by the Empress. That would be disobedient and unfilial."
Liu Zhao lowered his head and smiled. "Your Majesty would never accuse me of being disobedient and unfilial because of such a small matter. It's my mother who insisted on forcing me to have these women. Are you deliberately trying to stir up trouble for your son?"
"Gu Jiu, how dare she! If she dares to make trouble, she'll be a jealous woman."
Liu Zhao shook his head and said, "These women, my mother and concubine should either return to the palace or arrange them for my father. My father will definitely not refuse.
She won't make a fuss about Xiaojiu. Just a few women, not worth her making a fuss. If you don't want bad things to happen in the palace during the New Year, do as your son says. Goodbye, son!
