Mou Qingyue and her servant in the car both got big bumps on their foreheads after all this trouble.
After calming down, the angry Mou Qingyue lifted the car curtain.
Under the horrified gazes of the Five Cities' soldiers and horses, she took out the dragon-patterned jade pendant from her waist and held it in her hand.
"Here is the dragon-patterned jade pendant bestowed upon you by the Emperor. Seeing it is like seeing His Majesty. Why don't you kneel?"
As soon as Tao Yuwei finished speaking, everyone present knelt on the ground, "Long live His Majesty!"
"Why, the family of the Left Prime Minister can see the jade pendant without kneeling?" She stood there, holding the jade pendant, looking sideways at the carriage of the Left Prime Minister's family and said.
Mou Qingyue got off the carriage with a gloomy face and knelt on the ground.
After kneeling down, the coachman and Nanny Lin turned pale and trembled with fear.
They were blind and had offended Princess Anle. She didn't know how to teach them a lesson soon.
"Everyone, get up!"
Tao Yuwei put away the jade pendant and spoke directly to the newly arrived leader of the Five Cities Military Division, "Look, the carriage from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion is not following the rules. It's been running amok on the streets of the capital, nearly overturning the carriage from the Weiyuan General's Mansion. They're also forcing their argument that this princess's aunt is a villain. Let's leave this matter to the Dali Temple."
As soon as Tao Yuwei finished speaking, Ji Tong's maid walked out of the carriage, and everyone saw her bulging forehead and bleeding nose.
What else don't you understand?
It must be the people from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion who bumped into the carriage from the Weiyuan General's Mansion first.
As for the big bumps on Mou Qingyue and Nanny Lin's foreheads, they were caused by the coachman from Prime Minister Zuo's family and had nothing to do with General Weiyuan's Mansion.
Besides, there were eyewitnesses who saw with their own eyes the carriage of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion running wildly on the busy street.
They didn't expect that the little woman who was scolded as a villain by the wife of the Left Prime Minister was actually a member of General Weiyuan's team.
Just now they heard with their own ears that Princess Anle called the young woman aunt.
Doesn't that mean that this ordinary-dressed little woman is the eldest daughter-in-law of General Weiyuan?
Everyone in the capital knew that several generations of the Weiyuan General's Mansion had guarded the southwestern border for decades, making the various foreign tribes in the southwest dare not invade the Great Zhou and disturb the peace of the people in the southwest.
The men in this family guard the border all year round, leaving only the women in the house, who live a low-key life.
Look at the family of the Left Prime Minister. They are very particular about the pomp and circumstance when traveling and they bully others by taking advantage of their power.
Everyone has a clear idea after comparing them.
Mou Qingyue never expected that the little woman she called a bitch was actually the eldest daughter-in-law of General Weiyuan.
No wonder I have never seen her before. I heard that this little woman was born in the barbarian land of the southwest and is an uncivilized and vulgar person.
It seems that the nobles in the palace also dislike this lady. Otherwise, why has she never seen this person every time the palace holds a banquet to entertain the families of important officials?
Thinking of this, Mou Qingyue's fear disappeared.
Although the Weiyuan General's Mansion is powerful, her husband is the Left Prime Minister. In comparison, this young woman has to bow when she sees her.
Forget it, since the nobles in the palace all hate this vulgar and barbarian woman, she doesn’t like her either.
Mou Qingyue's expression looked very unhappy when she looked at Xiang Jitong.
After standing up, he just bowed slightly to Anle.
Princess Anle cannot be offended.
This lady is famous for being difficult to deal with in the capital. Even the princes and princesses dare not offend Princess Anle, and they have to give her face.
Otherwise, if Princess Anle finds evidence against him and brings the matter before His Majesty, her master will also be in trouble.
Mou Qingyue knew what Tao Yuwei and Wucheng Bingmasi said.
After she stood up, she took out a silver note worth five hundred taels from her sleeve and handed it to Tao Yuwei.
"My groom was reckless. I'll punish them according to the rules when we get back to the mansion. Please accept this banknote as compensation from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion."
Tao Yuwei didn't seem to be aggressive, but said calmly, "You should talk to my aunt about this."
Mou Qingyue knew clearly who should be offended and who should not be offended. She suppressed her frustration and politely apologized to Ji Tong.
Tao Yuwei saw it and knew that the other party was sensible. For her sake, he bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
She sneered inwardly, knowing clearly that the Left Prime Minister's wife was playing a trick on her by bullying the weak.
Ji Tong accepted the banknote neatly, and the matter was over.
There is not much silver in the General Weiyuan's Mansion, and she would not be stupid enough to refuse it if there were silver notes to be accepted.
Besides, her husband's family were military generals, stationed at the border, far away from the disputes in the court. Since the other party wanted to make the matter less serious, she would not hold on to it.
Looking at Mou Qingyue's carriage going away, Tao Yuwei gave up the idea of going to the palace, took Ji Tong's hand, and decided to take her aunt out to eat something delicious.
In this way, the two of them went shopping like sisters.
Inside the palace.
Wu sat in Queen Gu's Feng'an Palace and chatted with her.
The two chatted about some interesting things.
People are just weird sometimes.
Queen Gu disliked Tao Yuwei very much in her heart, but she liked her mother Wu.
Seeing that time was almost up, Wu made an earnest plea to Queen Gu, "Your Majesty, my nephew Wu Hanmo has returned to the capital to report on his work. He is already quite old. Could you please help me find him a virtuous wife?"
Wu left the round stool she was sitting on and knelt on the ground.
Upon hearing this, Empress Gu remembered her previous promise and stepped forward to help Wu up with a smile on her face. She said, "I remember promising you several years ago that I would help you find a matchmaker when your nephew returned to the capital. Now that he's coming back this time, I'll help him read his fortune."
As Queen Gu spoke, she was thinking about the situations of the noble ladies in the capital.
It was the Queen's personal maid who reminded her, "Your Majesty, the Third Princess is also of marriageable age. Wouldn't it be perfect to betroth her to the eldest son of the Wu family?"
The senior palace maid suddenly remembered that the third princess in the palace had reached the age for marriage. She felt that the third princess was a good person and the Wu family was also an important official in the court.
The combination of the two is very suitable.
Wu was secretly happy, but she didn't show it on her face.
After hearing this, Queen Gu shook her head solemnly, "The Third Princess's marriage is decided by Consort De, and I have no intention of getting involved."
However, Empress Gu looked at Wu and said firmly, "Don't worry, Yinan, I will do my best to help your nephew find a wife who will satisfy his dreams."
The Wu family is very important to His Majesty and also to Xiaojiu, so of course she will do her best to help connect them.
After hearing what Queen Gu said, Wu was extremely anxious. She thanked Queen Gu with tears in her eyes and left the palace.
After Wu left, Queen Gu's personal maid asked in confusion, "Queen, the Third Princess is a good person and respects you very much. Why don't you plan to..."
The personal palace maid knew very well that it would be easy for Queen Gu to win over the Wu family, but the Queen's family, the Gu family, did not have any girls of the same age as Young Master Wu.
